Session Summary: Are you holding yourself back as a leader without even realizing it? Over the past 25 years of coaching leaders across all kinds of industries, I’ve noticed there are six subtle pitfalls that can seriously sabotage your influence. We’ll talk about how to actually support your team with the resources they need to succeed, not just dump tasks on them. You’ll learn why checking in with your team relationally, not just focusing on the to-do list, makes a huge difference. I’ll also show you how to develop people through questions, not constant direction, and how to coach based on their strengths instead of trying to control every move. We’ll cover authentic motivation—because one-size-fits-all just doesn’t cut it—and the power of bringing clarity instead of complexity. If you want to identify your biggest leadership blind spot and grow into a more impactful, trusted leader, this one’s for you. Enjoy!
