When Everyone Wins with Judy Ryan: Shifting Power-Over & Under to Power Within & Between: Developing Confident, Caring, Collaborative People with guest Damon Cannon

What are the conditions and conversations that ensure people become confident and committed to creating caring collaboration and positive teamwork, where everyone wins and supports wild success in one another? Equally important is recognizing what conditions and conversations hinder these dynamics and outcomes. Knowing the difference between toxic conditions and ways of communicating that must go, and those that are life-giving is vital to empowering the creation of constructive outcomes that bring about healthy belonging and significance. 

Effective leaders are those who recognize the importance of such considerations and learn to integrate needed changes into the focus of influence they bring to those they lead. Such leaders are highly committed to understanding what concepts, terms, tools and strategies contribute to the constructive development of individuals and teams. They model and instill what they learn that's helpful, first in themselves and then in others. This is the stuff of emotional and social intelligence. This is not for the faint of heart. This kind of leader lives intentionally, seeks to be informed, and is committed and courageous. They invest in whatever it takes to lead exceptional lives, modeling self and social awareness and self and relationship management. My guest today is such an amazing leader.
