Executive Breakthroughs Podcast is where high-performing executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and rising stars, just like you, come to learn from their business heroes on how to make your unique mark on the world, maximize leadership and performance, create a culture of rockstar talent (i.e. be an expert team builder), gain insights on the future of work, and more. HINT: It takes more than bean bag chairs, a waffle bar, and all those perks on “Silicon Valley.”
We’ll talk visionary leadership, bold entrepreneurship, creating high performing cultures, building epic teams, managing talent and teams, discuss the future of learning, and winning management styles. Wild creativity paired with disciplined productivity, great teamwork, and unbreakable team chemistry. Embracing fear and stamping out impostor syndrome. Hear about tiny missteps and epic misfires. Learn the newest best practices and tactics in Human Resources, Sales, Operations, Management and more. Mistakes you can skip, and strategies you can steal. (Because stealing pens and Post-it notes is for amateurs.)
This show will make you a better leader, manager, team- and culture- builder, and -- most important -- a better strategic-thinker, talent-manager, problem-solver and more fulfilled and passionate in your work.
