The Leadership Mind
Leadership, by its very definition, is a human experience. We operationalize, optimize, and codify leadership as an experience we get better at doing. This podcast is about Humans Being Leaders as much as the "doing" of leadership.
These episodes help reveal the potential of what can be to leaders who balance growing a business, leading a team, and being fully engaged and present with their families.
