Elevate Your Confidence. Elevate Your Communication. Elevate Your Impact.
Why Elephant Conversations?
Elephants represent strength, power, and wisdom. They are known as the remover of obstacles, and in many cultures, elephants are viewed as both an ally and guide.
By understanding our strengths and unique qualities as a leader — and knowing the right time to leverage them — we too can remove the obstacles that stand in our way with both professional and personal success.
Focusing On Strengths Over Skills
The traditional leadership model has always focused on skills. From managing conflict to how we provide feedback the old approaches are proving to be less effective in this new landscape.
While the skills that make a great leader haven’t changed, how we need to apply them has.
Instead of focusing on adding more skills, we should be focusing on how to hone the skills we already have, and more effectively capitalizing on our individual strengths.
The fact is when you feel confident in yourself and your skills, you’re more open.
Open to feedback, new ideas, better relationships — and so much more. That openness translates to a better experience for you and everyone you work with.
One that’s fully aligned with the new world of work.
Build the Confidence and Capacity to Be a Better Leader
Working together, we’ll focus on the three building blocks of becoming a stronger leader.
Know Your Strengths
Using the Gallup CliftonStrengthfinder® assessment, you will learn your strengths and what you uniquely contribute. Realize the value you bring to teams and organizations. Learn about the strengths and unique contributions of your team and through this understand the importance of complementary partnerships and how to form these synergies.
Most of all, unlocking strengths, helps you to become a better version of yourself and to build trust and rapport with your team.
Flex Your Confidence
Learn how to up-level your confidence through managing your inner critic and turning up your superhero wisdom. Confidence is a learned skill, not something you either have or don’t. Learn valuable confidence and leadership presence skills including the language you use to share impactful ideas, understanding the importance of your message and body language hacks. Build your confidence to own your unique leadership presence.
Grow Your Mind
Start by adopting a coach approach and level up your listening. You’ll practice having the courage to properly stress test ideas, while learn to love being wrong, because when we are wrong, we learn. Understand what’s aligned with your strengths and what to delegate or seek out others to help you accomplish. Having a growth mindset is essential to working through powerful leadership topics including managing difficult conversations and reactions, receiving feedback, and setting boundaries for success.
