Unleashing the Power of Leadership Soft Skills Development and Career Advancement In the dynamic world of professional growth and personal fulfillment, mastering the art of leadership soft skills development is the key to unlocking your full potential. In a recent insightful conversation, renowned executive coach, speaker, and author Peggy Klaus and executive leadership and career advancement coach Sabrina Braham MA MFT PCC explored the profound impact of these skills on your career. The Leadership Soft Skills Revolution Peggy Klaus, a leading expert in soft skills leadership brand development and author of "The Hard Truth about Soft Skills" and "Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It.” highlighted the evolving recognition of the importance of soft skills in today's professional landscape. This shift has made it clear that mastering these skills is crucial to personal and brand development. These skills encompass a wide range of personal, social, communication, and self-management behaviors, including self-awareness, adaptability, resilience, confidence, risk-taking, and critical thinking. The Foundation of Your Leadership Success: Self-Awareness The conversation started with a deep dive into self-awareness, the cornerstone of leadership brand development. Understanding what drives you, how you think, and how you feel is essential to excel in your career and align your work with your true passions and interests. Your brand development journey begins with self-awareness, ensuring you are talented and passionate about your work. Debunking the "Luck" Myth Peggy Klaus further emphasized the role of soft skills in your leadership brand development to dispel the myth of luck in career success. She asserted that success isn't merely a result of luck or wishing for it. Instead, it's about hard work, self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to learn and adapt. Those who focus on leadership soft skills and brand development are better equipped to open themselves up to new opportunities, transforming those "lucky breaks" into calculated achievements. Handling Criticism and Seeking Feedback: Keys to Effective Brand Development The conversation also delved into strategies for handling criticism and seeking feedback, integral aspects of leadership soft skills and brand development. Active listening, staying curious, and not taking criticism personally are pivotal. Peggy advised individuals to embrace criticism as an opportunity for growth. Adopting this approach enables you to address and incorporate feedback into your brand development journey effectively. Shaping Your Leadership Brand with Effective Communication Executive brand development is an ongoing process. Peggy Klaus recommended creating a "brag bag" to collect achievements, compliments, and positive feedback. This resource is invaluable for promoting yourself and building a solid leadership brand. Please don't assume your work speaks for itself; actively communicate your achievements and impact to enhance your brand. Your Leadership Brand: Staying Visible in a Remote World As remote work becomes more prevalent, staying visible is challenging to develop your leadership brand. Sending brief updates to colleagues and bosses about your projects and achievements is essential. Initiating a "brag round" is another technique to foster connection and awareness in remote work environments, a strategy aligned with Leadership soft skills development. Personal and Professional Growth: The Ultimate Brand Development The conversation focused on personal and professional growth, a significant aspect of leadership soft skills development. Peggy Klaus emphasized the importance of self-reflection and seeking feedback to shape your brand. She encouraged individuals to take ownership of their strengths and actively manage their time. Additionally, she recommended a book titled "Nine Lies About Work" by Marcus Buckingham,

Talking to Peggy was so much fun, Laura is planning to visit her next time she's in New Mexico. The problem with “tooting your own horn” is that smart people tend to remember only the painful examples and develop fear of coming across as boring and/or annoying. There are actually delightful ways to talk about your accomplishments that provoke authentic and rich conversations. These have the bonus of letting people know who you really are. (Which many people will find encouraging, btw.) Being able to talk about yourself in an interesting way brings a boatload of benefits, which include helping others to do the same. People want to know about you, without the tsunami of self-revelation that traps so many. Laura and Peggy cover small talk, networking conversations, conversation tools you can use on zoom, and many other tips including these:

I speak with Farideh R. Bagne, Ph.D.,JD. She's one of the most brilliant, successful and hardworking people that I've ever met. She has an amazing story, with some great insight on resilience. And she's built this really cool bridge at Magnolia by the Lakes, the gold standard of senior living, a luxury Independent and Assisted Senior Village on the shores of Cass Lake, overlooking Sylvan Lakes in Oakland County Michigan. I think you're going to want to hear about the story about this for sure. As Dr. Bagne states... You know that thing when you look challenge in the eye and you don't blink and you even have a smile on your face. That's what we're going to talk about. So don't miss out. My advice to you again is, number one, belief in yourself and do not have a defeatist attitude. Always remember that race, national origin, gender had nothing to do with business, science, medicine or whatever endeavor you are planning to do. It is not what others think of you. It is what you think of yourself. And with that attitude, believe that you should have that axiom of your life that truly everything happens for the best. And at the moment that disaster happens. You don't know what the best is, but believe that somehow it will be and will become one of the best events of your life unless you follow these three acts and you'll really become successful throughout your life.   Coming up on July 30th is the 7th annual Brady Ware Women's Leadership Conference.  Each year, 100% of the proceeds go to support women initiatives through non profit organizations within Ohio. This year our supporting non profits are the Better Business Bureau and the Women's Small Business Accelerator. Many months ago when we began planning for this year's conference, we felt it best to err on the side of safety, so this year's conference will be held virtually. While this may not be the most ideal situation, it does allow for us to offer participants speakers that are nationally recognized as well as locally recognized women leaders.   We're excited to be able to present keynote speaker, Peggy Klaus, author of 'Brag! How to toot your own horn without blowing it'. We'll start the morning with a lively discussion with a panel of women business owners and leaders. And to add to the excitement of the day, you'll be able to network, visit exhibitor tables and win wonderful prizes throughout the day!   I would like to personally invite you to join us on July 30th.

I speak with Janet Meeks. Janet is the author of Gracious Leadership, Lead Like You've Never Led Before. You will love getting the perspective from her because she has lived it, she's experienced it, and her amazing journey as a leader. She's going to talk from her book, which is such a simple read. Yet there are some very important basics in there. What should we expect from our leaders? There's an expectation we should have. As Janet mentions... I also believe that leaders need to be secure enough to understand they don't have all the answers and that leaders who try to hoard getting the results accomplished are really holding back the organization they need to trust their employees who are subject matter experts and free them, let them lie in the war, if you will, and be all they were created today so they can play at the top of their game. And then that leaves time and room for the person with the big title to be able to take on those difficult tasks that perhaps someone and other levels of the organization cannot.

I shared recent book that I read, a book written by Peggy Klaus - the hard truth about soft skills.

This month’s coaching conversation focuses on a leader striving to become “more visible.” She and Tom imagine raising her presence by giving her a way to speak about herself as an expert without feeling like she’s bragging. A challenging needle to thread! If you want help on this topic, Tom mentioned a resource he strongly recommends “Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It” by Peggy Klaus.

In 2000, desiring a family friendly business she could involve her kids in, Joyce created Emerald Real Estate, LLC managing a large portfolio in residential and commercial property.  A few of her investor specialties include short sales, pre-foreclosures and rehab projects.  Joyce's latest venture is a complimentary blend of her love for all things entrepreneurial and her sisterhood with other women. One in every ten adult women is a business owner. The Millionaire Mom membership site is designed to support mothers in the unique challenges of raising a family and a business at the same time. The site not only offers a forum for communicating advice, insights and a place to commune with other like-minded moms, it also provides concrete business advice from millionaire moms who have "been there, done that" and achieved phenomenal success in the process. Our goal is to help each woman become accomplished and profitable in her own venture-one family at a time. Swan, LLC is Joyce's business consulting firm. She consults with small to mid-size companies and executives. Joyce can help a company improve its marketing and sales, increase profitability, identify and solve specific problems. Having managed 350 employees herself she understands the dynamics and challenges involved in creating a synergistic environment that supports the various divisions of business. She is adept at coordinating teamwork between traditionally at odd divisions such as sales and operations and helping employees overcome their fear of change. Joyce is a sought after speaker and will soon announce the release of her book called, "Millionaire Mom: The Art of Raising a Business and a Family at The Same Time." What makes Joyce Bone unique is not only her uncommon business story but her enthusiasm and the belief that each person can create the ideal life for them self. She has the ability to help others take seemingly unattainable goals and make them reachable. It is her greatest pleasure helping individuals and businesses become more efficient and successful.
