Simple is the New Smart: Simple Success Strategies That Stick

How many of us feel overwhelmed on a daily basis by the myriad tasks and responsibilities? Often, this overwhelm is a function of one’s inability to properly prioritize.

Rob Fazio teaches professionals how to “turn up the volume” on the right information and “turn down the noise” on irrelevant information on one’s success journey.

Success through Strength

The Miriam-Webster Dictionary offers an array of definitions of the word strength. Rob Fazio has his own unique definition of strength, which is likely to conflict with the definition that most people have believed traditionally. Rob categorizes one’s strength into four distinct styles: weak, subtle, overt, or dominant. Developing subtle Strength can be the key to your personal success, as well as your ability to build successful teams. Rob will share tools to help you develop a strength mindset that allows you to navigate and lead through adversity. The ability to navigate adversity is driven by your ability to become aware of how you react to others. Specifically, reacting to others with weakness or dominance is a trap that many of us fall into. Those open-minded enough to embrace the power of subtle Strength will be uniquely positioned to grow as leaders.
