Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies 143: Uncovering Your Leadership Blindspots with Rhonda Peterson [Leadership Series]
We all have blindspots.
As leaders, entrepreneurs, and speakers, we should want to find out what they are and then work to minimize or improve in those areas.
How do you know what your blindspots are?
My guest is Rhonda Peterson, who works with business owners and executive teams on leadership and delegation, to help them bridge the gap between the leader they currently are and the leader they want to be.
In this episode, Rhonda and I talk about:
- Where business owners and leaders should be focusing their time and attention
- The difference between managing time and managing energy
- How to uncover your blindspots
- 2 key questions to ask yourself
- The benefits of deadlines and constraints for getting things done
This episode is part of our podcast series on Leadership, episodes 141-145.
