How does a working-class kid obsessed with breaking athletic records grow up to become an award-winning international business leader? Barry Leahey's journey from the coal mines of England to exporting playground equipment across the globe reveals how early influences and experiences can shape leadership abilities.

Seeing track icon Sebastian Coe break the world record on TV ignited Barry's competitive fire as a child. He dove into training with zeal, striving to best his personal athletic goals while forging an ambitious, data-driven mindset that manifested in tracking detailed “numbers” like race times and academic scores. Though losses outnumbered wins on the field, Barry was baking in resilience, drive, and a relentless work ethic.

Barry later channeled this sports mentality into business, where he continually sought out self-improvement through learning and surrounding himself with mentors. They stressed critical lessons about teamwork and flexibility that proved essential to managing others effectively. After years spent focused on his own advancement, Barry evolved his leadership style to bring out the best in those around him.

Today, as President of Playdale Playgrounds, Barry practices “honesty and positivity” while fostering a solutions-focused culture that has shepherded impressive growth. The company now designs and exports outdoor play equipment to over 50 countries worldwide – a testament to Barry's ambitious early vision.

Listeners of this episode will:

- Gain insight into how childhood experiences shape leadership abilities

- Understand the importance of continual learning and self-development

 - Recognize how team cohesion and a solutions-focused culture drive growth

- Discover how resilience and ambition can manifest in international success

As Barry proves, sometimes our earliest influences chart the course for our greatest accomplishments. By channeling our formative experiences into positive leadership and a commitment to self-improvement, we too can achieve our ambitious dreams.

Her multifaceted journey has woven together diverse professional roles with an underlying hunger for self-discovery. From the driven intensity of competitive gymnastics to navigating corporate cultures across continents, each experience unveiled hidden parts of herself while fueling an unquenchable curiosity about the human spirit.

Along the way, Jennifer realized that sustainable success requires leading from the inside out. As she puts it: "Leadership is really the relationship you have with yourself, with others, how you show up actually for yourself and for others and with others."
