Have your past struggles kept coming back and directing your present? Do you act out of spite? How can you take back control of yourself so that you act intentionally instead of from an old painful place?
Thank you for joining us! Today I’m having a conversation with Ryan James Miller, a performance coach and the author of Wounds. Most people, most leaders, have wounds, and they affect us by creating blind spots. These blind spots are where we’re at our most vulnerable, and equally, where we most need to heal. Our discussion today focuses on building awareness of these blind spots, and how to grow from them.

Where do most leaders fall short when it comes to creating genuine connections? What can you do every day to build credibility and trust with your employees? How is forming a connection a skill that you can develop?
I’m excited to share the last book of the 2022 IDL bookclub with you, Everyone Communicates, Few Connect, by John Maxwell.

Despite all the effort that people were going through to communicate, it still seems that few of us connect meaningfully. Today, I address this idea, and via John’s book, offer insights on how to grow your connection with others.

This is part 2 of my interview with Rob Hoskins (listen to our previous conversation here). Today we are talking about Rob’s work regarding the 3 types of leaders and their leadership styles.

Is your definition of success sustainable? Does insecurity attribute to burnout? How can you make commitments to yourself to honor your time?
Carey Nieuwhof is a renowned podcast host, leadership speaker, and author. His new book, At Your Best, comes out later this month and it will be the Impact Driven Leader Bookclub book for December. It really helped me reflect on the times in my life when I was overwhelmed and stressed, and how my relationships were affected. I think that there is more fatigue in our world today than ever before, so understanding it, and how we can overcome it makes Carey’s insights both necessary and rewarding.

How do your values underpin the way you communicate? What makes a difficult process meaningful? Is there a way to overcome your insecurities?
Jordan and I have known about each other for a year or so, and it’s fitting that this episode is all about Connection. Jordan and I have both had the opportunity to connect through helping, and it’s often the case that in helping someone I have truly connected with them. It's this principle that we talk about today. Supporting someone, and connecting with them.

How do you reach your full potential by working through insecurities? How can unaddressed insecurities block the formation of authentic connections? What does empathy in business look like in practice?
Today we have a great book for you, Raise Your Game, by Alan Stein Jr. His book really gets at the heart of a concept Alan and I discuss today, something I really feel is the catalyst in leadership — insecurity. As an ex-basketball performance coach, Alan has worked with some of the biggest names in the NBA - Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant - and now he’s teaching and applying these strategies in keynote programs and workshops.

What are some valuable lessons to learn from bad leadership? Where do you find your leadership growth curve? Which life roadblocks are stopping you from being the best leader you can be?
Growing up, life was really difficult for Stephen Scoggins. When he was just 22, he found himself homeless and on the verge of suicide. He was angry, stuck, and completely empty inside. Stephen’s mentor gave him a second chance and from there he launched a multi-million dollar construction company and has gone on to launch 5 other successful businesses ranging from real estate to thought leadership with top-line revenue over $100 million.
We go through so many of life’s experiences and it really is about overcoming and just continuing to press forward, just like Stephen did.

Chad Hymas is a ball of inspirational energy and he has an amazing story that you’re going to hear a little about. In 2001, at the age of 27, Chad’s life changed in an instant when a 2,000-pound bale of hay shattered his neck, leaving him a quadriplegic.
