Navigating Leadership Blindspots

We hosted a dynamic 60-minute webinar tailored for members and friends of Loyola's Family Business Center, featuring leadership coach and author, Cathy Carroll. Our goal was to shed light on those elusive blind spots in leadership and equip attendees with the tools to tackle them head-on.

Objective

Participants learned the power of polarity thinking and how to apply it both within their family business and on a personal level. By the end of the session, attendees not only grasped the concept of polarities but also gained insights into their own blind spots and how to address them effectively.

Workshop benefits recap:

• Affective (feel): Attendees left feeling resourced and confident in their ability to use polarity thinking when navigating tough dilemmas.
• Behavioral (do): Attendees acquired the skills to transcend conflict, break free from being "stuck," and enhance their overall effectiveness.
• Cognitive (know): Attendees recognized their own blind spots and developed strategies to overcome them.
