How can our Influencing strengths support skill development?

Welcome to week three of our June series on Upskilling Through Strengths! This week, we’re turning our focus to how influencing strengths can supercharge learning and skill development across your team.

Traditional training often falls short because it emphasizes content over connection. But leaders who create lasting learning impact aren't always the most experienced—they’re the ones who know how to inspire, engage, and influence.

Let’s explore how you can tap into the power of influence to spark enthusiasm and make learning stick.

On today's episode, I have a fascinating chat with Landi Jac, a world-recognized keynote speaker and consultant who, alongside her husband Mike, has designed a life of global travel and impactful work.

We delve into Landi's journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, highlighting key pivots such as rejecting a surprising career as an industrial spy. Landi shares her philosophy of building a business around life values rather than conforming life to professional demands.

The conversation covers trends in the marketplace, the significance of mindset, and the crucial role of authenticity and core values in leadership. We also discuss emerging trends for 2035, the revolutionary potential of AI, and the importance of human connection amidst technological advances.

This episode emphasizes the power of living authentically and the profound impact of building trust and community.
