About Beth Strathman
There is a saying that in the first half of life, we conquer the world; in the second half of life, we conquer ourselves. This has certainly been true for me, and it seems to be the case with my clients.
Especially if you lead others successfully, your professional development and success in life depends on overcoming parts of yourself that no longer benefit you.
My Philosophy
In the first half of life, we conquer the world
In the early part of my career, I focused on my ability to perform my work tasks successfully. Then, mid-career I realized my drive and directness could be a liability regardless of how well I performed work tasks. There were situations, where in spite of the fact that I was smart, fun to work with, professional, hard-working, and competent at my job, I didn’t always respond very skillfully in situations. I realized I had to own my part in any negative experiences I had.
In the second half of life, we conquer ourselves
While I may not have always reported to solid or well-adjusted leaders, I learned to adapt my approaches and responses to whatever circumstances I found myself in. In short, I shifted from CONQUERING THE WORLD with my knowledge and skills related to work tasks, to CONQUERING MYSELF in order to respond better and to create conditions that more readily engaged others to accomplish work goals.
Upon reflection of my own experiences and over time, I have learned a lot and want to share what I’ve learned with others, who are proficient and competent but who realize they must let go of old ways of being and use their strengths – but not to the point those strengths become a liability.
Now, I work with executives and senior managers who want to work better with their teams and scale their abilities to grow along with their companies.
