I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 134, Richard Medcalf describes what someone said to inspire him to pursue an executive coaching career, shares a story about a new CHRO who he coached, and advises how to overcome our biggest bottleneck that holds us back.

Prologue

Richard Medcalf describes himself as “what you get if you were to put a McKinsey consultant, a slightly unorthodox pastor, and Freddie Mercury into a blender.” Richard is an executive coach & leadership consultant to founders, CEOs, and their leadership teams. He is bi-national English/French, lives near Paris, is happily married, and is the proud father of two. Richard is a licensed lay minister in the Anglican Church. He has an insatiable love for spicy food and the electric guitar.
