No Bullsh!t Leadership

Episode #313 // We’ve all heard the stories about the people who started entrepreneurial ventures quite late in life, and found success at a mature age. If nothing else, this serves as a reminder that, no matter how many opportunities you think you may have missed, there will always be more in the pipeline… if you’re open to them.There’s a lot we can learn from those who’ve gone before us, if we choose to pay attention and apply the principles to our own career growth and personal progression.In this episode, I take a look at the mid-career stagnation problem.

I examine some of the advantages that more mature leaders have, as well as some of the unique anchors that hold them back. And I finish with four areas that you can focus on, in order to break the pattern of stagnation.————————LAST CHANCE TO JOIN THE LEADERSHIP BEYOND THE THEORY SEPTEMBER 2024 COHORT!Why wait to elevate your leadership game?
