Show Notes

Leadership starts with leading yourself, and there is no better person to help us understand ourselves than this week's guest- Hannah Miller. Hannah is one of our most popular speakers at Next Generation GP, and you'll see why!

She's an amazing coach, supporting emerging leaders from all sorts of backgrounds using a strengths based approach to development and finding purpose. She's a fantastic speaker, and was chosen to receive the Vistage Rising Star Award for speaking in 2019.

She's introduced a lot of Next Gen GPs to a profling tool called StrengthsFinder, developed by Gallup, which offers personalised insights about what you naturally do best.

So many Next Gen leaders have been amazed by how accurately it describes them, and how it helps them to understand differences in their teams, what they are really good at, and what opportunities they should decline or pursue as a result.
