Unlabeled Leadership 076: David Wheatley Finds Leadership While Sailing in the Atlantic
I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 76, David Wheatley describes a coaching experience in which a suggestion doesn’t work out as expected, but the experience helps shape David professionally. David then shares a story about leadership that involves crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat. Finally, and pulling from the first two stories, David advises us to more effectively pay attention and listen.
00:00 Prologue
Not every former Scotland Yard police officer can say that they are a podcast host, principal of a company, play the guitar and soccer, and coach professionals on how to develop their leadership. Not only does this describe David, but he also facilitates and teaches. David is the Chief Question Asker at Humanergy, a boutique leadership development company.

David advises us on how we can become more effective at listening and paying attention. By doing what he describes can help us connect with other people.
