Do you feel stuck in a leadership rut where effectiveness is becoming increasingly elusive? Is the Peter Principle nipping at your heels? Playing to our strengths is an inherent human tendency. Our natural strengths bring us success early in our careers but become limiting over time. The best leaders grow and continue to advance by broadening their horizons. Research shows that leaders who can develop complementary skill sets are more influential and impactful. Together, we will explore the role of competing values and strengths and how to recognize paradoxical tensions. Utilizing experience as a seasoned executive and professional coach, I will provide tactics for how to shift from “either/or” to “both/and” thinking to achieve a balance between your strengths and weaknesses. There is validity in choosing to focus on your strengths just as there is a solid rationale for working to improve on your weaknesses. The most effective leaders understand the importance of doing both. How do you know where to start? Pick the thing that scares you the most, take a deep breath, and run towards it.

Learning Objectives:

1. Examine yourself via self-assessment tools to gain a greater understanding of your strengths and weaknesses to recognize the limiting beliefs and traits that hinder inspirational leadership

2. Breakdown the concept of natural leadership tendencies and how their relationship with opposing traits is impacting your leadership effectiveness

3. Outline tactics that can be used to build a dynamic, versatile leadership style

4. Explore the role that vulnerability plays in leadership development
