643: Carey Nieuwhof - How to avoid the 7 key challenges that sneak up on everyone

Don’t get caught by surprise! My biz partner, a medical doctor, says the most dangerous thing is...we don’t know what we don’t know. I find this to be true. It’s what we are blind to that most often takes us down. In this show we bring you a message titled, “Didn’t See It Coming”, Overcoming the 7 Greatest Challenges That No One Expects and Everyone Experiences. It comes from a book by the same title, authored by my guest Carey Nieuwhof a speaker, podcaster and pastor of one of the largest and most influential churches in Canada. So right off you’re wondering what those 7 challenges are? Here you go:CynicismCompromiseDisconnectionIrrelevancePride and NarcissismEmptinessBurnout Of course I get Carey’s personal story that brought him to this message and what he does today, but we get into these challenges, plus 11 warning signs that we are falling into these issues/ Folks, I was really intrigued by the message and our discussion. Nobody sets out to become any of those things, they happen over time, like gaining weight. Carey does a masterful job of opening our eyes with a breakdown of needed Self awareness, a Burnout quiz and just guidance on an overall Personal audit to clarify where we are and where we need to shore ourselves up. It’s a significant discussion. You can connect with Carey at didntseeitcomingbook.com. And of course get the book there or wherever you buy books. Carey’s podcast is The Carey Nieuwhof Leadership Podcast: Lead Like Never Before.
