8:05 am – 9:05 am | 5 Clues to Talent Leadership
TyAnn Osborn, Founder & Principal Consultant, Osborn Consulting Group LLC
Each of us has unique talents, but often, we don’t know, or can’t articulate, what those are. It seems easier to spot talents in others but feels somehow indulgent to talk about what makes us unique. Knowing your talents isn’t bragging – it is the conscious alignment of your energy to your areas of potential for exponential performance. There are 5 easy steps you can take to uncover your unique talents.
Participants will come away with the ability to understand clues and indicators to talents, which can be used with current employees as well as potential new hires. This information is critical to communicating with others what YOU need from them, and how YOU process information. They, in turn, will learn from you how to do the same. This step-function improvement in communication will improve the overall value proposition of your organization and reinforce your legacy.
