Shane Hatton: How he turned an idea into reality into a leadership and coaching practise, author, podcast host & renowned speaker!

Take flight into Shane's journey - sunrise in Bundaberg, a smallish town in QLD, Australia having varied interests as Shane describes it following themes rather than a specific path whether that be trying the trades, to then studying business because his girlfriend was doing it, how good! and then spending 7 years as a pastor involved with the church community which started from helping his friend with some marketing work.

Since 2017, Shane has been running his own practise developing remarkable leaders and is a book author, podcast host and speaker. We went in depth as I asked Shane about how he started his practise in 2017, how he found his early clients, how to monetise, providing consistent value and much much more!

MEMORABLE QUOTES MENTIONED

————

• “good leaders know how to speak and great leaders know when not to”
• “biggest challenge when starting a business is we don’t know what game we are playing, we don’t know the rules. and because we don’t know the rules, we are open to a lot of well meaning bad advice.”
• “narrow your topic and widen your sources”
• “the moment we begin to think we have all the answers, we forget all the questions”
