TOPIC: How Leaders Can Create a Competitive Edge (And Increase Results)

Talented people are promoted every day into exciting new leadership roles. Unfortunately, most of those leaders aren’t equipped with the skills to excel at this new level and end up despising the opportunity instead of dominating it.
|
The overwhelm of drowning in paperwork, managing team drama, or lack of knowledge on how to actually coach up reports can cause even the most talented of leaders to feel like a failure and want to throw in the towel to go back to “what they used to do.”
|
In this session, learn key skills to sharpen your leadership influence & transition from drowning in your role to driving positive change through it.

  • Why leaders are not found – but forged

  • How to master what’s in your control to make more consistent progress

  • Why a fulfilled career requires challenges – and how to build a mindset that willingly takes them on

  • How to influence your people to help them live up their true potential
