Steve Longan was employee #1 here at Rewire and he’s our Director of Research and Development. In this role, he helps Rewire develop programs that help our clients bridge the gap from where they are and where they want to go. He’s very good at it. 

And over the last few years Longan, which is what we call him around the office, has become a formidable coach for many of our clients who say a lot of very nice things about him and his work with them.

But when I asked Longan for his bio for the show, it was all about him as a husband and a dad and a reader of books and a person who runs a lot. And about how appreciative he is to be helping people at the deep level he does

In this episode Jason and Steve discuss:

• Growth mindset as opposed to a fixed mindset
• The alternative uses exercise, word clouds, labyrinth walks, and appreciative inquiry model.
• The primary role of leaders.
• Perfection, procrastination, and failure as part of the process.

Key Takeaways: 

• Facilitative, positive leaders and mentors inspire greater creativity.
• The importance of paying attention to the language you use. 
• Leaders developing the ability to create a space where their employees have their needs met in order to embrace their natural abilities, create, and produce quality work themselves.

“The language that we use is prophetic.” - Steve Longan
