If you enjoyed this podcast, we'd love to hear from you!
Most of us rely on our strengths every day without naming them. But what happens when a strength goes into overdrive?
In this bonus episode, Valerie interviews Julia on how character strengths shape the way leaders make decisions, handle pressure and respond to change. They explore what it really means to ask, “What are you leading with?”, how strengths can become overused and quietly lead to burnout, and why sometimes the missing piece isn’t more capability, but better balance.
If you’re feeling stuck, stretched or questioning your next move, this episode will help you spot the patterns driving your working life.
Includes a free tool to help you identify your own strengths.
