Have you tried journaling? Well, it’s time to be intentional about it and make it a habit. Journaling is more than just writing down your life experience. According to this week's podcast guest, journaling can actually help improve your leadership skills.

Today’s guest is Antonio Garrido. Antonio has over twenty-five years in senior leadership positions with world-class businesses. As an executive coach, author and speaker, he is an expert in leadership transformation: shaping high-performance leaders out of highly-stressed and overworked leaders.

In this episode, Antonio and I talk about the power of journaling, when and how to do it correctly, how it helps you overcome leadership blind spots, and more.
