Can Dialectical Behavior Therapy Help You Be a Better Leader

FINDING DBT
Growing up my dad introduced me to a lot of interesting people. Theologians, psychologists, monks, reiki healers…you get the idea. And I was fortunate enough to spend time with each of them, learning more about their work and the path that they were on. This early exposure to different tools and ways of living has given me a wide array of skills that help me be the type of workplace leader that I want to be. Grounded, generous and thoughtful. One tool that I have used every day since I learned it as a young person was Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Introduced to me by a therapist who was friends with my Dad, I’ve used DBT to help me be (1) a more present manager (2) a more supportive colleague and (3) a better friend and partner.
