by Whitney Walpole, Laureli Shimayo, Shannon Harrison

Are you maximizing your full leadership potential and effortlessly leveraging the talents of others? Do you experience living your life with maximum ease, power and joy? For many, the answer is no. Yet, what if it were possible? What if you could identify and tap into the aspects of yourself and others that provide a doorway into unprecedented results and fulfillment? The Sweet Spot is a deep dive into the 7 fundamental “Talents” that make up our greatest contributions - the best of who we are and what we have to offer. Used widely by leaders in the business community to recognize their own and others most authentic Talents, this book covers the key contributions and challenges of each of the 7 Talents. It also provides effective ways to grow and develop those Talents, with practical tips for leveraging your own and other’s most natural gifts to be more productive, successful, and free. In many ways, this subject is not a new one. A person’s Talents are based on existing archetype categories that have been written and spoken about for centuries.

This book was given to Woman in M&A Network members at an event at which Whitney Walpole spoke. Her 1 hour presentation was absolutely enlightening, and the book provides good additional context. Her firm offers coaching related to the material covered in this book, and I'm eager to explore further.
