Speak Up: Develop Your Executive Presence & Leadership Communication Style

About this episode
It sure feels like there are unprecedented levels of turmoil on the economic/social/political landscape, with potentially legitimate concerns of how AI will change our work. Resilience is your fast track ticket to facing adversity, working with annoying people, and pivoting with finesse in your career.
If you haven’t already, it’s so important for you to know what your strengths are so you can lean on them to work with more energy. You not only want to leverage your own strengths, but help those around you to know and use their strengths, to build the entire team’s engagement and performance. Russell goes through the Resilience Wheel to deconstruct this key concept into its component parts.
Of course your communication skill level mirrors your current level of resilience. If you look carefully into any conversation, you can pretty accurately assess their level of resilience and respond accordingly.
Fortify your leadership with resilience, using these life-altering insights:
🔥The reasons you need more resilience right now (i.e. what you’re up against!)
💎 The connection between your strengths and your level of resilience
✅ How to look at working with your strengths against banking the money you want
🔑 Your reality-based purpose goes beyond your goals and is another big source of resilience
🦏 Exorcize your Imposter Syndrome by leaning into your strengths
🎯 Realize that the way you get promoted affects your confidence in the role
📣 Identify the strengths of each team member without the use of psychometrics.
