Listen Later

With more than 10m books sold, John Strelecky is one of the most successful and inspirational authors of our time. 

His first book, "The Café on the Edge of the World," gained international acclaim and has been translated into over 40 languages, selling millions of copies. 

John has written extensively about leadership and is the creator of the "Big Five for Life" concept that inspires leaders and businesses to discover their purpose and lead fulfilling lives. 

In this episode, he shares how he went from consultant to traveler to bestselling author, what good leadership is, the role of “soft skills”, how to keep your best people, and how leaders and businesses can identify their Purpose for Existing (PFE).

He also discusses why most writing in business is unemotional, boring and complex, and the simple shift that can turn you into a much better writer. 

Enjoy this episode with one of the great storytellers of our time!
