Show Notes

I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.

As a leader you are ‘powerful’.  Yet, ‘powerful’ is not a word we tend to use.  We prefer using words like ‘leadership’, ‘decision-maker’, ‘go-getter’, ‘coordinator’.  Why is that? What does ‘having power’ mean to you? 

Have you taken the time to ask yourself how you are powerful and how your power can limit and help your team? 

In this episode, you’ll hear from Laura Jansen, Learning & Development Director of Reticle Ventures Canada Incorporate and independent Teaming Facilitator, who will help emerging leaders explore how Power & Rank dynamics are linked to building an environment where teams can thrive. She will connect how power & rank plays into creating a teaming environment where all team members can contribute, feel a sense of belonging, and speak freely. Laura will provide insights and advice for leaders in how they can own their powers, in order to share them in a way that empowers their team.
