Course overview

Align your work with your superpower to increase your impact and efficiency

Problem:

We all have a limited amount of energy and mental capacity:

* As a leader, you cannot be the best at everything all the time

* You cannot try to achieve all your goals at the same time. And if you try, you'll be exhausted.

* Others at work will be better than you at certain tasks

* You may pigeonholed yourself as a fantastic executor with no leadership potential (and don't realize it!)


Solution:

Play to your superpowers to prioritize where you invest your time and energy to accelerate your growth sustainably.

When you align your work to your superpower, you'll deliver more impact, get noticed, and move up in the organization faster and without burning out.

Working hard and taking on more work is not going to get you ahead, or even avoid layoffs.

Instead, focusing on your strengths will get you further, and faster.

Aligning your work to your superpower is what makes you irreplaceable!

        This is what I've been doing wrong! I've been feeling consistently tired at my job, which is objectively a great role. This course helped me chart a path to a different role without losing momentum.
