I think it taps into like power that we have within us too. But unfortunately, it's sort of been trained out of many of us. When improv is done well, you're amazed at these scenes that can be created with other people.
Today Josh speaks with Terry B. McDougall about courage, fear, corporate leadership, and living a fulfilling life.
Terry is an executive coach, speaker, and best-selling author of Winning the Game of Work
After more than 30 years of corporate business experience leading marketing efforts in senior management roles, Terry chose to become a coach to concentrate on helping leaders step fully into their potential to lead satisfying careers.
Some of the other topics we dive into are:
- The external trappings of success.
- The negative feedback loops of work stress and pain avoidance.
- Childhood trauma, high achievers, and external validation.
- Unhealthy coping mechanisms, setting governors and detoxing from corporate life.
- The operating costs of poor leadership.
- Fear detachment and the illusion of job security.
- Self-moderation and critical self-talk.
- The future of work in the corporate world.
- Courage, anxiety, and letting go.
- And so much more.
