Strong leaders rarely struggle because they lack capability. More often, the very strengths that make them effective begin to work against them when pressure rises.

 

Drawing from more than 20 years in leadership and talent development and her current role as Director of Talent Development at BDO Canada, KayLee Hansen explores what happens to leadership behavior during periods of pressure, growth, and organizational ambiguity, and why traditional leadership development often fails to prepare leaders for those moments.

 

Through real-world examples from inside organizations and across industries, participants will examine common leadership overextension patterns, how they affect communication, decision-making, team dynamics, and culture, and how learning leaders can design development experiences that build awareness before strengths become liabilities.
