What would change in your career if you consistently operated from your strengths? For many of us, the challenge isn’t that we lack talent — it’s that we rarely pause long enough to recognize, articulate, and intentionally use the strengths we already have.
In our Business Essentials (formerly Women Lead) webinar, The Alignment Quest, Dr. Laura Morgan Roberts — Associate Professor of Business Administration at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business — guides you through how to identify and activate your best self. Her research-backed approach helps you understand what energizes you, how to bring out the best in others, and how to align your daily work with your core values and capabilities.
