Proven Success Strategies: Client Experiences
​​
When working with teams or coaching individuals, there is always one leadership quality that I look for: the ability to be vulnerable. Can they put their imperfections, their quirkiness, and their blinders aside to hear the tough feedback? Are they able to get out of their comfort zones and make the real changes needed for their own development, their team’s development, and the development of the enterprise? If “yes,” their HPT journey has begun.
