Cutting Edge Conversation - Character - Can it be developed?

A baseline for success in any field is adequate knowledge and skills. But it is “who” the person is – their character - that helps them move beyond that baseline to become good or great.

Skills and knowledge can be taught. Character requires something different. In this conversation we will explore a number of questions including.

If so, what do we need to pay attention to?

How do we listen for expressions of character?

What options do we have when we want to address issues of character with a client?

How does attention to character affect the way we work with clients?
