This week we’re welcoming back Anthony Nelson. As a quick reminder, Anthony is the director of the Glacier Institute, a national non-profit organization that strives to connect people to the natural world at Glacier National Park.
Becoming director of the Glacier Institute was a terrifying thought when Anthony started and he admits, he made a lot of mistakes along the way. But one thing that saved him was having the right people on speed dial on his phone to help him through this brand-new experience. Spending time with those other leaders and asking them difficult questions, has helped him learn from them and apply those lessons to his leadership.
So, as a leader, who do you have on speed dial that you can reach out to when you have leadership struggles? If you don’t have a long list (or one at all), think about who you can reach out to and add to your speed dial contacts. Having a good support network can help you make the changes in your business that you’re dreaming about.
At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe 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.
