Episode #31 - Empowerment & Accountability - Interview with Catie Paterson

In this episode Shelley speaks with Catie Paterson, HR Business Consultant, on the topic of empowerment and accountability. Catie shares the importance of adapting your communication style to suit the audience. She says “know how much support your people need and be willing to empower and adjust your approach to get the best out of them!”

She is a big believer in establishing and nurturing trust and says it is essential when it comes to empowerment. She shared one of the best lines I’ve heard all year which is…

“You’ve got to make people feel bigger for longer!”

As a leader, if you can hold the belief that your people have the ability to succeed, and give them the opportunity to own it they will flourish as a result. This includes growing through successes but also through failure and learning as a result of mistakes that are made.
