Leveraging Your Network to Help Employees Thrive

In today’s fast-paced business world, leaders need more than just technical skills and management know-how. They also need the ability to leverage their professional network to support and empower employees. Your network isn’t just a list of contacts—it’s a powerful resource filled with knowledge, opportunities, and relationships that can directly benefit your team. By intentionally connecting employees with the right people and resources, you can create a workplace that fosters growth, collaboration, and resilience.

Unlocking Your Core Genius: The Key to Success and Fulfillment

Have you ever noticed that some tasks feel almost effortless, while others drain your energy no matter how hard you try? That difference often comes down to what’s known as your core genius. Your core genius is your unique, innate talent or skill—something you do with natural ease and excellence. When you identify and focus on this strength, you position yourself to achieve higher success, deeper fulfillment, and greater impact in your personal and professional life.

Why You Need New Skills as a Leader to Lead Different Generations

Today’s workplace is more diverse than ever—not just in backgrounds or job roles, but in generations. For the first time in history, we have up to five generations working together: Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and the emerging Gen Alpha. While that kind of diversity can bring innovation, fresh ideas, and a wealth of experience, it also requires leaders to develop new skills to lead effectively across generational lines.

As a leader, it’s important to remember this simple truth: you can’t (and shouldn’t) do everything yourself. Delegation isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a hallmark of strong, effective leadership. The best leaders know how to delegate not just to lighten their own load, but to develop and empower their teams.

Delegation is difficult for many leaders. They don't want to lose control over the project or the process. And even after they begin delegating, they are constantly checking in on the employee assigned to the task. Team members feel they're being scrutinized and over-managed. This can lead to poor morale, lack of motivation and high turn-over.
