The Power of Incremental Change in Leadership and Life with Steven Chandler

Understanding one's limitations, fears, and capacities and turning them into opportunities for growth and service are crucial elements in the constant journey of personal and professional development. In this episode, I delve into these transformative processes with the phenomenal Steven Chandler, who brings decades of insight from his expansive career in coaching and writing. We explore embracing discomfort, reframing our approach to fear, and the power of shifting focus from self to service, which Steven masterfully describes through his personal experiences and professional shifts.

Steven Chandler, at the fruitful age of 80, is a titan in the fields of coaching and corporate leadership training. He is the founder and main teacher of the world-renowned Coaching Prosperity School and co-stars with Jason Goldberg in the popular YouTube series "The Not So Serious Life."  With a portfolio that spans over 30 published works, including Reinventing Yourself, The Leader and the Coach, The Hands-Off Manager, The Very Best of Steve Chandler, and 100 Ways to Motivate Others, Steven has influenced countless individuals and organizations, including Honeywell, the University of Arizona Foundation, Kirksville College, Scripps Health, University of Santa Monica, Motorola, Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo Bank, Texas Instruments, and over 25 Fortune 500 companies worldwide, helping them cultivate a culture of positive leadership and effective communication. His decision to retire from active coaching to focus solely on his writing marks a new chapter in his remarkable journey, one that continues to inspire and guide through his books and audio that are widely available.

“Sometimes the best way to help ourselves is by focusing instead on helping others.”
