Why do the most high-achieving leaders of the 21st century happen to be those who understand their own biology? Your host, Dr. Katrina Burrus, MCC, interviews Scott Halford and seeks an answer to this question. Halford’s book, Activate Your Brain, focuses on the unique value of willpower.

• Is it something you either have or you don’t?
• Is it a muscle that can be trained?
• How is willpower linked to impulse control?
• Is distraction a major stumbling block for many executives?
• How does one coach around it to overcome resistance?
