95% of people would prefer to work for a Leader, not a manager. The 5% of people who say manager, had a manager who was a great leader. In this episode we discuss what makes you the sort of person other people would be inspired to follow. We discuss the term 'lead by example' and why the 'example' is a set of character traits other people would like in themselves. In other words, we follow people we want to be like.

Do you bounce back from adversity, or does it make you stronger? In this episode, we discuss the difference between resilience, and a term coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Anti-Fragile. We need to change our relationship to adversity and stressors, as these are the catalysts for getting stronger, growth and improvements. Resilience means you bend and not break. Anti-Fragile means you come back stronger than before.

We discuss the contentious thought, that everyone is ALWAYS doing their best, not necessarily their peak. The object in this life, is to identify and overcome that which gets in the way of our peak.

Most people derive confidence from their skill or knowledge, but true confidence comes from not fearing the judgement of others. Join Guy and Michelle as they unpack what confidence is and techniques on how to develop true confidence.
