Working It: Piecing Apart Personality with Suchitra Davies-Webb
Season 3, Ep. 2
•
In the workplace, we are often forced to collaborate, engage with and even in some cases, befriend people that we may not otherwise seek out. This mix of personalities creates a unique environment that will either foster growth and innovation or squash it. And often, the executive management will set the tone.
How do we navigate this sea of personality and where do we fit in? We explore this topic further with Suchitra Davies-Webb, a certified coach whose work focuses upon strengths-based leadership development. She has been coaching emerging leaders across a diverse set of industries to help them design their own growth and success for over two decades.
Excellent insights dropping in this episode!
