Ep 23 Strengths-Based Leadership a Living with Krystal Clark

Join us for a conversation on all things leadership development with Krystal Clark, Director of Employee Learning and Organizational Effectiveness at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. In 2020, Krystal established Equip To Thrive, LLC to offer compassionate personal and professional development opportunities for “talented and imperfect” people.   Krystal began her professional life upon moving to Durham, NC, where she served as the Program Coordinator for Fraternity a Sorority Life at Duke University, with the goal of ushering in greater acceptance of diversity and inclusion. In 2011, Krystal moved to Nashville to take on her first role at Vanderbilt, Associate Director of Greek Life.   From there, her passion for leadership, personal development and volunteerism opened the doors to scores of opportunities outside of Vanderbilt—an ongoing journey which she reflects on in today’s conversation.   Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:  ●      Why it may benefit your career in the long run to do tasks that aren’t “part of your job”   ●      A primer on strengths-based leadership and fulfilling the potential that is uniquely yours   ●      How leaders can make the workplace more inclusive   ●      Tips for integrating entrepreneurship with a leadership role    ●      Krystal’s advice to emerging professionals who are looking to get to their next level   ●      How leaders can support their teams   ●      What being a thriver means to Krystal   Memorable Quotes:   “That extra work could be the gateway that you want to do that no one has ever done before because you get to create it as you’re doing it.”   “Leaders create more leaders. Leadership is a relationship, and if you forget that, it’s never going to work.”   “It takes a lot more work to hire new people than to keep great people.”   “Don’t forget the mountains that you already climbed.”   Connect with Krystal at krystalnclark.com and Instagram
