[Podcast EP 3] The 5 questions that help create a best-in-class strategic plan


Hey Reader,

Welcome to Episode 3 of the un-Corporate Leader Podcast — where we focus on the 5 questions that help create a best-in-class Strategic Plan. Find the episode on Apple Podcast or Spotify

Here is the thing, if you are feeling pulled in all directions, asked to do more with less, while constantly putting out other people's fires, then you may have a problem with your Strategic Plan Process.

There have been moments when I've inherited a team, gone into an interim gig and found that the team had no idea what to focus on. Instead of being able to focus on the critical few, they have to deal with the trivial many.

This leads to overwhelm, stress, confusion and A LOT of re-work. If you are ready to begin pairing down your and your team's workload — let's tackle it with this simple Strategy framework.

By the way, I've been there — and I've helped hundreds of leaders just like you not only survive but thrive through best-in-class Strategic Planning, and I know this will help you too.

What are we covering?

  • What it means to be a "Lazy Overachiever" and why it matters to your Strategic Plan
  • What a Strategic Plan really is and why its set-up is essential to ensuring you aren't overtaxed at work
  • The 5 questions that will help you create a best-in-class Strategic Plan Process
  • Why a good Strategy helps you say "no" so you can get time back
  • Bonus: An example of creating a best-in-class culture by using the 5 questions of a best-in-class Strategic Plan

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this week's episode.

Best,
Silvia

Hey Reader, I've been thinking a lot about the launch of my rebrand — the website, podcast, and coaching program — and how differently this launch has gone compared to when I started my first coaching practice nearly 15 years ago. Over the years, I've learned a few things about running a business, marketing, and communication. But more importantly, I've learned some valuable lessons about myself. The woman I was back then was still finding her way. If things weren't just right, I would scrap...

Hey Reader Welcome to Episode 5 of the un-Corporate Leader Podcast — where we focus on Executive Presence. In a world where it is hard to determine what the "right" Leadership Qualities are, we explore the amorphous world of Executive Presence, what it is, and the 3 Leadership Strategies you need to execute against to be seen as a true leader. You can be the best at your job, but if you aren't seen as having Executive Presence there will be a limit to how far you can go. Don't just focus on...

Hey Reader Episode 4 of the un-Corporate Leader podcast is live and available on Spotify and Apple Podcast. Even if you have done all the work to create the best Strategic Plan, it doesn't guarantee that your team will execute against the plan.
