Ep 184 - Is Your SUPER Strategic Brain Working Too Fast For Your Team?

Her Ambitious Career

If you're SUPER strategic, you're always thinking three steps ahead of everyone else which can be extremely useful but NOT if you're losing everyone along the way.

How would I define someone who is SUPER Strategic?

• Your brain will work quickly and be filled with ideas and ways to connect all those different ideas
• You'll be solving problems people haven’t even thought of yet
• The people around you might not see the 'problems' you're outlining as being 'problems' at all
• You may have difficulty prioritising or communicating your thoughts so that you are understood

Being SUPER strategic can be frustrating - for you and your team!

In this episode I am sharing 5 tips to help SUPER Strategists make the most of their super power whilst still engaging and influencing others as they go!

Something I said today:

"From Neuro-science we know that people compute information differently, deleting and retaining different pieces of any communication based on their own preferences, experiences and bias. Even if you think your communication is clear, it still might not be understood in the way you intend. And if you want to influence others, you need first to seek understanding and engagement before you persuade." (Rebecca Allen, Host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
