Lead Through Strengths

This Episode’s Focus On Strengths Ryan Rhoten joined me to chat about using your natural talents to understand and design your Personal Brand. If you want to have a rockin’ career, you need to know what your brand is (you have one whether you tried to or not). And then you can do branding efforts to leverage your personal strengths.   What You’ll LearnYou’ll hear a personal story–how Ryan discovered the importance of knowing how others perceive you at work (and on Google). You’ll see how taking the StrengthsFinder assessment was his starting point for understanding the talents he needed to lean into at work. And: How you can take strengths like “Whiteboard Weirdo” and turn them into you biggest brand asset. Using your natural talents so that you can consciously select your next job–you can use it as a way to vet job descriptions and work cultures. If you’re feeling dread and misery at work…this episode might just reveal why. What to do when you’re working with leaders who have an opposite style to yours.
