Maximise your Strength

  • Get to know their own strengths, how to embody them, and how to align them with those of the organisation.
  • Identify their unique style and strengths, and why these matter on the path to leadership.
  • Understand the strengths of others within their firm and how to adapt with different approaches in mind.
  • Recognise the talent in themselves and others and create an action plan.
