Gran Sasso HR Solutions

Imposter syndrome is the world's greatest secret. Someone told me once, "even the Pope gets up in the morning and thinks to himself, "I just gotta fool them for two more weeks to make it to pay day". While that may or may not be true, it's safe to say imposter syndrome is something most (if not all) of us have had to deal with. We're all a mess. Go easy on yourself.

Leaders often place immense pressure on themselves to be perfect, to have all the answers, and to be the smartest person in the room. However, this fear-driven approach can hinder creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving. As a leader, your role is not to have all the answers but to create an environment where your team can bring forward ideas and solutions. After all, the ultimate mission for a leader is to nurture and grow more leaders.

When you pretend to be brave in a situation that requires courage, you're not pretending. You're being brave. The same applies to motivation. If you force yourself to do something that you don't feel like doing, you're not faking motivation. You're summoning it.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to partner with This Hour Has 22 Minutes. Now in its' 31st season, this show is a Canadian treasure. Last week we wrapped up a 4 day "Leadership Essentials" bootcamp for the department heads of 22 Minutes. It was so great to watch this group develop and grow both individually and as a leadership team. Some great feedback below! "Craig was a fantastic trainer he’s interactive and thought provoking. He knows his stuff! He created a safe space to have open communication among a group of professionals with different leadership styles.  I learned a lot about myself and why I do things a certain way, why others do things differently and received some helpful tools to help me in my more difficult areas leading people.  Many discussions were had during and after our sessions, and I believe it opened up a type of conversation that wasn’t here before, which is definitely going to help us with our teams and as a whole. " - Lindsay Thorne, Key Makeup "Working in film, you collaborate with all types of personalities, in a wide range dynamic situations. Having an understanding of the DiSC principles offers a quick insight and reference point into the most effective ways of giving instruction, feedback or criticism to your team or an individual. Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses within the DiSC model and more importantly, knowing how other DiSC groups view your particular group, I found particularly fascinating and helpful." - Andy Miller, Art Director "We just completed our training from Gran Sasso with Craig. It was a wonderful team building experience. I highly recommend it to any professional. I gained great knowledge about my own leadership style, and now have a better understanding of myself and my crew. I learned new valuable skills, and improved my ability to be a good team leader. Thanks again for all your insights and positive influence." - Geoff Dunsworth, Construction Crew Leader
