Original session description when presented at ASHP Midyear Conference (Anaheim, CA; December 2014):
Description:
You are a success. Yes. YOU! Think about it, you’ve overcome every single obstacle ever put in front of you to be standing (or sitting) where you are today. Every. Single. One. So why not admit you’ve got it going on? That you do indeed know what you’re doing and have figure out a secret to success?!
Did you catch that? A secret to success…not THE secret to success. Where most of us fail is not in our brilliance, but in how we share our message with others. This session is designed to do two things around that issue.
First, it will increase your awareness of the styles, traits, & superpowers YOU actually poses. Because you cannot consciously use what you don’t know about. Second, it will help you better understand OTHERS and how you might make tweaks or alter your approach to get them on board to achieve your goals instead of resisting you every step of the way.
As a result of this session, attendees will:
· Increase self-awareness of their styles, traits, & superpowers
· Better understand the strengths of other styles & how to adjust when working with them
· Learn how to frame & present their ideas in new ways
· Interact with all the styles to share inspiration, insight, & secrets of success
