Description

Today’s episode is the second part, and deeper analysis, on “the shadows of your superpowers”. These are a type of development areas that are associated with your greatest strengths. I use example personas to detail 5 common shadows I’ve noticed across my career and coaching. For each, I breakdown why the shadow is elusive, common reactions to receiving feedback around it, and actionable advice for addressing the development area. Whether these shadows remind you of yourself or of others - in a personal or professional context - this reflection will help you cast the shadows into the light.Today’s discussion covers:A recap of the “shadows” conceptExecuter who struggles to be a team player (Martin)Strong opinions, tightly held (Jackie)Team builder who becomes too political (Max)Organizational expert who is too hands-off (Jenny)Company veteran who struggles to innovate (Evan)How you can apply these reflectionsTimestamps:[00:00:00] Recapping the “shadows” concept[00:02:00] Where to apply these insights in your life[00:04:38] Example #1: Executer who struggles to be a team player (Martin)[00:09:31] Advice for Martin[00:13:07] Example #2: Strong opinions, tightly held (Jackie)[00:14:18] Advice for Jackie[00:17:17] Example #3: Team builder who becomes too political (Max)[00:19:12] Advice for political Max[00:23:24] Example #4: Organizational expert who is too hands-off (Jenny)[00:25:06] Advice for Jenny[00:29:16] Example #5: Company veteran who struggles to innovate (Evan)[00:33:09] Advice for Evan[00:36:57] ConclusionWhere to find Nikhyl:Twitter: https://twitter.com/nikhylLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nikhyl/Where to find The Skip Podcast:Website: https://www.skip.community/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theskippodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theskippodSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4oT2rxMsRP64h9NXuA11DJApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-skip-podcast/id1663529202
