Leadership requires a whole different skill set that many engineers are never taught - because in most cases, you don’t have any positive role models to learn from. Meanwhile, traditional leadership training courses and books tell you WHAT to do in specific situations, and assume you’re naturally outgoing and people-oriented - but this doesn’t work for engineers… As an engineer, you need to understand HOW and WHY something works before you can absorb, adapt, and apply it in ways that work for you! This is why I developed my own leadership training framework around understanding human behavior and psychology - so that you can: ✅ Influence without having authority ✅ Understand and deal with all types of people ✅ Motivate people’s behavior and decision-making ✅ Adapt your communication style to match your audience ✅ Deliver constructive feedback that inspires positive changes ✅ Handle difficult people and emotional conversations ✅ Gain buy-in and win people to your way of thinking Today, I use this framework to teach engineers how to develop an effortless leadership style that is directly aligned with your core values, natural personality, and unique strengths - as well as utilize these skills to your advantage in every area of your life! I post new episodes every week - SUBSCRIBE to my channel if you don’t want to miss out on any of these insights!
