You need to be grounded to know where you’ll grow. Pause for a moment and ponder that thought.
If you’re a leader who desires to grow, your growth mindset needs to be intentional. Once you’ve paused to consider the progress you have already made (because you have made progress and that’s worth celebrating!), then you can begin to consider the question “What is the story I want to tell in the future about my leadership?” Does how you’re showing up as a leader today align with that vision?
In today’s podcast, Pamela and Tara share about how they’ve grown in their unique Strengths during this past year, and the areas they’re still striving to cultivate. We believe that being vulnerable and sharing these areas of growth with you will help you gain the confidence to invest in your growth as well.
At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe that everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys.
CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts. If you are interested in learning more and taking the CliftonStrengths assessment for you or your team, please reach out to tara@aligntransform.com.
