Why We Should Develop Our Leaders
Welcome to the Creating Strength Podcast, Episode #2!
In today's show we are covering a topic I'm beyond passionate about it. Leadership and whether or not they can be developed.
One of the greatest myths when it comes to leadership is that some people have it and some don’t. Another myth is that if you don’t have it then you can’t learn it. What's your take? Well in today's episode I'm going to reveal the truth and end the debate. Were also going to dive into some of leadership and answering questions that will help you understand the role leaders actually play in organizations today.
We are going to answer these questions:
1. Can you develop great leaders?
2. What does it take?
3. Why should organizations make room in the budget for leadership development?
4. Manager vs. Leader, what’s the difference?

Say YES to Yourself & Write Your Own Story
It’s 2023, time for new goals, new challenges, and new opportunities.
I’m so thrilled that you stopped by and wanted to take this first episode to reintroduce the podcast but also tell you more about me and explain what is thing called creating strength. At the end I also want to share a short message for the haters/doubters out there.
I really can’t believe that it’s already 2023, 2022 went by so fast but here’s the thing this year feels so different for me. I’m excited for so many reasons but I wanted to talk today about my journey and how Creating Strength came to be because I think it’s something that might resonate with a lot of you out there who maybe didn’t follow a conventional path.
I’ve always, always felt as though I wasn’t really following the rules, I wasn’t doing exactly what I was supposed to be doing and we all know in life there’s these unwritten rules. You know when you are doing what is ‘normal’ and when you are going against the norm you can feel it.
Join me in my first episode back where I share in my unconventional path, explain why you should follow your passion, and reveal who actually gets to decide whether you are an expert or not.
Let's go!
