Finding Brave 256: How Bringing Your Heart and Spirit Forward Transforms Lives
Taking responsibility for your emotions can take a lifetime to learn. But when you embrace the full spectrum of who you are, it allows you to connect with the world in new and profoundly meaningful ways. This is one of the many key lessons that today's Finding Brave guest, Robb Holman is intent on sharing with the world.
Robb is a highly sought-after global keynote speaker, lover of life, and the author of three transformational leadership books, namely, Lead the Way, All In, and Move the Needle. He is often described as an eternal optimist, a characteristic that is evidenced throughout his teachings, and is passionate about serving leaders through encouragement, inspiration, and authenticity. In our conversation, Robb provides a detailed breakdown of the concept of spiritual leadership and what we can do to cultivate it within ourselves. He unpacks how tapping into the spiritual aspect of who we are helps us connect to our higher selves and illustrates the many ways it can inspire us to do great things, both as leaders and as fellow human beings. Robb then goes on to provide five practical questions that listeners can ask themselves, at any phase of life, to help them uncover their purpose and foster spiritual leadership. We also unpack the concept of transcending yourself to transform yourself, what we can learn from athletes when it comes to tapping into your flow state, and the power of embracing your unique identity. Join us for this inspiring conversation with Robb Holman, as he shares practical tools and insights to help you connect with your higher self and discover your purpose.
