Live in Your Strengths Everyday with Dana Williams
You’ve hit your goals, earned the title, maybe even built a strong team. But it still doesn’t quite feel like you. Let’s talk about why that happens and what to do about it.
I sat down with my friend Dana Williams to talk about what it really means to live and lead authentically. Dana spent 25 years as a marketing leader at Southwest Airlines before starting her own business as a Gallup-certified strengths coach and launching the Strengths Journal. She’s all about helping leaders find the through-line between their lived experiences, their values, and how they want to show up in the world. This is an episode that will leave you thinking deeply and probably journaling.
In This Episode:
- How your childhood coping strategies may be shaping your leadership today
- What “personal brand” really means in the context of leadership
- The one journaling practice Dana recommends for everyone
- Why values should be the filter for every decision you make
- How to break old identity patterns and create the future you actually want
