Greatest Hits: #1 Natural Born Leader

Are you a natural-born leader? You’re not alone if you feel like you’re not. In fact, we are here to say, the idea of a natural-born leader is a myth and that anyone can be a leader. And yes, that includes you! We’re excited to replay one of our "greatest hits," our first podcast talking about what makes a good leader (and big surprise, it may not be what you think!). Just as flight attendants tell us to put on our own oxygen masks before helping those around us, to be an effective leader, you need to know your Strengths (both in their glorious mature nature and their frustrating raw form) before you can lead others effectively. The simple truth is, you weren’t born a perfect leader and you also won’t one day wake up and be a perfect leader. Leadership is a practice and not a final destination. There isn’t just one exact recipe for leadership, but there are daily practices you can use to make yourself and those around you grow and thrive. So, come, and listen in, as we travel down this road of growing and grounding in our leadership. At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe that everyone is a leader and 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 journey's. ⁠CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder⁠) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measure more motivations.
