245. How to Lead Well Without Losing Your Way: Featuring Bradley James Davies


Listen Later

In this week’s Aspire to lead episode, Bradley James Davies shares how a panic attack and a near death experience enlightened him on how he was dealing with stress and mental health. Join us as we discuss the lessons learned through this important experience and how Bradley coaches leaders to combat stress. 
In this episode, we discuss:
  • Improving our Appreciation, Culture, and making sure Leaders Go Last
  • How Not to Lose Your Way…Coach, Community, & Teflon
  • And his Book, School Leadership from A to Z: How to Lead Well Without Losing Your Way

  • About Bradley James Davies:
    Celebrated school leader and former Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Driver, after a two-decade career in education that included teaching, coaching, and leading across all grade levels, Davies fulfilled his long-held dream of writing a book. School Leadership from A to Z: How to Lead Well Without Losing Your Way is about the ups, downs, and all-arounds of school life and leadership. It’s lighthearted, heavy at times, and funny throughout. Its goal is to help educators thrive through the challenges and stresses of school life and leadership.
    Born and raised in Minnesota, Davies attended Stanford University where he served as junior class president and captained the men’s soccer team. Later, he was honored as a Lily Fellow at Duke Divinity School where he graduated magna cum laude. He holds a Certificate in Leadership Coaching from Georgetown University and is the founder of Falkor, a leadership and life consultancy dedicated to helping clients live better, love better, and lead better. His current clients span all sectors, from technology and entertainment to government and education, and all levels of leadership, from rising stars to c-suite veterans.
    When not roaming the Earth as an author, speaker, and coach, Davies calls Colorado home. His big dream is to someday add to his family a therapy dog named Fred.
