090. Leadership Development - An Insider's Perspective with Dr. Rey Fremista

💭 Have you ever thought about entering into the Leadership Development space yourself?  Have you considered whether you would want to do that from the outside (consulting) or on the inside of a business (inside the Learning & Development (L&D) department)?

Today we are joined by someone who has recently made that shift in his career.  Dr Rey Fremista is well known as an international thought leader in quality and process excellence.  He is one of The Philippines Top 30 voices on LinkedIn; the President of the Philippines Society for Quality; and has enjoyed a successful career in quality management, process excellence, lean, and 6 Sigma.

He has recently been drawn to follow his passion and purpose and enter the world of leadership development and for him this meant joining the internal learning & development department of a multinational company.

We discuss his transition into leadership development and the identity shift this required.  For someone that is so well known in his chosen field (quality and process excellence) it can be challenging to shift that identity to become known in a new field.

Rey shares with us his initial journey and transition into leadership development from within an L&D department of an organization.

Dr Rey is also the founder of Mindgrit.  On his Mindgrit social media channels he challenges us to develop the right mindset for growth and the ability to develop the “grit” required to be resilient and get through challenges that life sends us.  Dr Rey builds on the work of renowned American psychologist Carol Dweck to bring the thought of Grit to a new audience.

We explore Mind and Grit in our discussion today.
