Reclaiming Your Zone of Genius - with Daniel Karlsson

Daniel Karlsson is a very special guest for me, since he is one of my current clients. It’s special to have a client on the show because most of my clients have very personal things about their path to leadership that we work on, thus, it's not everyone who is ready to be put in the spotlight and discuss very openly like Daniel. Currently, Daniel co-owns a project management consulting firm in Sweden called UNIK Partner. UNIK Partner’s main goal is to add value to companies that need engaged and knowledgeable resources by providing business development services with deep technical knowledge. So he is a leader, both in his own company and at his clients during the assignments. He holds a PhD degree in chemistry and has project management experience from several industries, including IT and life science.

 

This is a very raw conversation, since it involves both my and Danie’s personal stories, reveals my methods of coaching and Daniel’s path of growth, and includes a lot of life experience from both of our sides. We discuss the challenges that he has as a leader and the journey of not being perfect and knowing your flaws where you need to develop and sharing how you do it.

 

This interview will cover:

• How difficult it can be to be vulnerable and true to yourself while still being professional

• Why leadership coaching is still not normalized and what value does it bring to others
• How different leaders can have the same issue, but different perspectives on it
• Finding a balance in caring for the receiver's feelings during giving feedback, yet not taking too much responsibility for it
• Finding the ways to fill your gaps
• Importance of working on self-esteem in order to identify yourself
• Tips about carving out time for yourself and your development
• Importance of finding your way of doing things so that you can be truly happy

Enjoy and stay Genius,

Anna
