Accountability, ownership, and being a great leader – Part 1

Nally Ventures — Wed, 13 Mar 2024 18:30:00 +0000

Understanding the See, Be, Do, Cause methodology We’ve all heard of and possibly encountered “born leaders.” These people have a natural ability to take charge of situations, connect with others, and lead people to achieve a common purpose or goal.

How can a retreat move you forward?

For your organization to…

Q: “Many of my team members struggle with prioritization.

Is it time for career coaching?

Nally Ventures — Mon, 31 Jul 2023 18:37:09 +0000

A career coach can help you work through a variety of situations on the way to a more fulfilling career. The average person spends 90,000 hours—more than 10 years of their life—at work.

What do I do?” A: When our message sounds perfectly clear to us, but it is just not being received the way we want, it can be very frustrating. As leaders, we have to remember that “The two words ‘information’ and ‘communication’ are often used interchangeably…
