COACHING THE ALPHA PERSON
Daniel Gil’adi, USA
Abstract
The strengths that got you here are not necessarily the ones will get you to achieve your future aspirations. Your strengths, if polarized, may become an obstacle for the achievement of your goals and the organization’s strategic objectives. During the session participants will learn how personal characteristics perceived considered strengths, often prevent us from achieving more success. Therefore, how can we become more conscious of that process and develop the necessary tools to change for the better. For example: how to have our emotions at our service and develop personal and organizational allies to become invested in our change.
