Joanie Rufo, Founder of Initiate Consulting, is a Certified Leadership Coach with nearly 25 years of experience helping leaders be more purposeful and effective. In that time, she’s found that the key to effectively leading others is, first, learning to effectively lead yourself – a concept she calls Leading Self.
Leaders are always under a spotlight – every action, every word, and every behavior is constantly being evaluated. As a result, leaders have to overcome the challenge of Leading Self before they can lead others; you have to understand your own patterns of behavior, what your triggers are, and other people's experience of you.
But for many leaders, this can be a dramatic mindset shift. There’s a lot on their plate, so time to reflect feels like a luxury they don’t have – but if you don’t make the time, you’ll probably never lead effectively.
In this episode, Joanie dives deeper into the challenges that prevent us from effectively leading ourselves and the solutions to help us breakthrough that inertia.
