This podcast is targeting high performing leaders like you to achieve your goals successfully without being stagnant in your current position. The expectation of the show is to create a clear and honest conversation by interviewing the individuals who have a fascinating perspective on how they approach their leadership.

Kevin Roberts is, personally, experiencing a fail of his own creation. Recently, he did an interview for Business Insider and, unfortunately, was quoted saying some very irresponsible comments regarding gender equality in the advertising industry. This fail has cost him his roles as Chairman Saatchi & Saatchi, and Head Coach Publicis Groupe. This interview was recorded before his career went sideways and I wrestled with publishing this show.

Living in the present is an easy concept to understand, but not always an easy one to walk out. For many, the past keeps us in a state of longing or regret. We either want to get back to the “good ol’ days” or feel crippled by the pain of some negative experience. For others, the future is a perpetual pursuit for “this”, the thing that once you achieved, isn’t as good as the “next” thing. We endlessly chase after the role, relationship, position, income, accolade, or pinnacle that will bring happiness. Life is often a distraction of comparison, and the pressures of “perfection’. On this show I’m flying solo to share with you some life-giving encouragement, connecting you to your inner core of power, and cultivate a sense of life satisfaction.
