Leadership Begins With You - How to A.M.P. UP Your Game at work

Have you taken the time to step back, reflect, and evaluate? Is there a limiting belief
holding you back? Are you moving your agenda forward with intentionality and consistency
every day?

Vidya’s presentation focuses on breaking through limitations and reaching your potential. This
program will help individuals cultivate a positive mindset, reimagine possibilities, and guide
their careers forward. Discover a clear roadmap to achieve personal development, enhance
relationships/team dynamics, and ultimately attain career success and satisfaction.

Vidya’s S.H.I.F.T. framework includes phases that mimic a typical project life cycle. The execution phase
of Project YOU will highlight-
• Looking for opportunities to be proactive at work
• Focusing on skills that increase your significance and contribution at work
• Finding your ‘Why’ to ensure you wake up excited every day to tackle the day

Better Communication and Connection for enhanced collaboration

Do you sometimes feel like you are herding cats? Do you wish everyone on the team understood the criticality and urgency of the task at hand?
Solution: Master connection to increase collaboration. Building relationships and boosting your credibility will increase your influence on others.

People who connect with others have better relationships, experience less conflict, and get more things done than those who do not put in the effort to build connections.
Leaders who have learned the art of connection can effectively communicate ideas, establish buy-in and attract followers. A sense of community is created if you can connect with others—one-on-one or in groups. That sense of community improves your ability to build team cohesiveness, and your influence as a leader skyrockets. With the consistent application of the guidelines showcased in this program, a leader will see a shift in the overall cohesiveness of the team.
