Become an Agile Leader
In today's VUCA world, agility is essential. When you learn tools like user stories and acceptance criteria you can applying them to leadership at work or in everyday life.
Develop You Leadership Strengths
CliftonStrengths or StrengthsFinder delivers a model to better understand the complexity of talents and strengths in ourselves and others.
At the core of strengths psychology is the idea that we will see a more significant benefit by leveraging our strengths than improving our weaknesses.
That is why I love helping people discover how they have been created, recognizing their design and how it shapes them. Discovering and understanding your strengths allows you to see what is and could be possible.
Applying StrengthsFinder to your everyday leadership enables you and your team to bring your best contributions together.
