Defining Your Leadership Style and Attracting More Followers

In order to have people want to follow you, it is critical to develop, hone, and own your personal style of leadership. Today, though, more than ever, having a human approach to leadership is critical. Knowing and understanding yourself is key, but that’s only part of the equation. The other component is focused on understanding and relating to your team. Being an effective leader includes leaning into how to effectively develop and grow the people who work for and with you, working to inspire, motivate, and ultimately create success together.

The next cohort is on September 18 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm ET. Click here to register.

This Leadership training will be conducted in 2 parts:

Part 1: A 2-hour live group workshop led by Kristin Bloomquist of bloom mentoring. The focus of the workshop will be on understanding the role of a leader, the different types of leaders, and the critical attributes of effective leaders.

Part 2: Either four or six 1:1, personalized mentoring sessions are done remotely with Kristin. The coaching will be all about you — these meetings are a safe space to work on leadership challenges and opportunities such as:

who do you want to be as a leader and how can you become more intentional in your approach
how to more effectively delegate and/or give feedback
how to collaborate more effectively across the agency
how to show up as a client leader/partner (not a vendor)

These and other topics will be the focus on the mentoring meetings. Kristin has the ability to not only ask the right questions but also provide perspective and guidance based on years of successful agency leadership experience.

The only thing leaders have in common is that they have followers.

"Insightful and thoughtful content - to help participants grow and learn"

"It felt like an open space for growth"

"It's a unique structure where the foundation is set but then customized to each person in one-to-one mentoring (which is what we all need). There is not a one-size-fits-all all-in leadership growth. The principles fit everyone but the way those are executed will be different for everyone."

"Kristin came to each of our meetings understanding both the things I did and did not say, and was able to provide valuable and actionable steps for my growth, development, and current challenges."

"With a diverse background within this industry, Kristin was a trusted source for advice and knowledge."
