Personal Leadership for Women

Before you can lead others, you must lead yourself.

I work with women in management roles to develop leadership, managerial, and interpersonal skills

so they can confidently take control of their professional and personal lives.

Success Strategy: Listen!

I recently had an unpleasant situation. Actually, it was an unpleasant situation for a number of people! Without getting into the details, the situation arose because of poor communication.

What made the situation worse was that there was one person (not me, really!) who was convinced that she knew everything about the situation and that she was right and everyone else was wrong. She greatly compounded the problem by not listening to what anyone else had to say

Eventually, the truth did come out. The situation was resolved.

The lesson from the story is to listen to what others are trying to tell you. It can make life so much easier for everyone involved, including yourself!
