For this week’s leadership spotlight, we sat down with Mr. Matthew Pegg, Fire Chief & General Manager of Emergency Management in Toronto. Overseeing 3,200 full-time staff, Matthew is devoted to leading with exceptional service to Canada’s largest and most diverse city.

We are so excited this week as we sat down with another nominee for The John Maxwell Leadership Award 2019, Derek Coburn. He began his journey as a financial advisor where he built a successful wealth management practice that he still currently runs today – mainly through cold-calling and networking.

This week we continue with our “best of best” content, discussing the all-time best leaders in the industry! Of course, our very own, John C. Maxwell has poured leadership into thousands of people. Laugh along as Paul and Mike bicker over who they think have the better top picks…who do you think had the better picks for top movies, books and now leaders? When you think of a leader, who comes to mind? John C. Maxwell, Mother Theresa and Abraham Lincoln to name a few.

Following up from last week’s episode, if you missed it – Mike and Paul discussed their Top 12 favorite books and authors. This week they are jumping into their top favorite leadership movies! It’s hard in today’s world to sit down and actually invest your time into movies and television, but if you’re going to why not find something that is motivational and helps you grow. When it comes to leadership some movies come to mind for Mike and Paul such as Braveheart, Remember the Titans and SO MUCH MO

On today’s Episode of the Transformational Leader Podcast, Paul Gustavson and Mike Harbour draft their Top 10 Leadership books and Authors. Listen along as Paul shares something he isn’t proud of, hint: it has to do with reading books! They go through each book and share their favorite takeaways and how it impacted their lives. If you are looking to expand your library or maybe just want to find some great reads to jumpstart your leadership journey, listen to this Podcast for some incredible advice!

On this Episode of the Transformational Leader Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Omekongo Dibinga. A motivational speaker, trilingual poet, musician, TV talk show host, and a professor…what doesn’t he do?! Also, an UPstander with a life mission to inspire all those across the globe to take a stand when they witness an injustice. With writings and appearances in places like O Magazine, as well as on TV and radio from CNN, BET, and the BBC to NPR, Music Choice. The list goes on and on about all of his accomplishments and it is truly an honor to have sat down with a transformational leader like himself.
 
We dove right into what brought Dr. Dibinga to his journey in leadership and got raw and deep. As he said to us “They say leaders aren’t born, they’re made.” He shared there were three challenges he faced as a child: being bullied, poor and growing up in a crack epidemic. Dealing with these challenges made him want to beat the statistic of failing. “One of the things I learned about being a leader is you got to reach people where they are.” It’s all about the connection and understanding the people you’re speaking with. Come listen along as we talk all about connections and how Dr. Dibinga got to where he is today!
