I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.

Leaders are flawed people who experience the same gambit of personal and professional pressures that all team members go through.

And quite often, leaders will ask their team members to stand up for what’s right at all costs.  Leaders often extol the virtues of being a consummate professional, all of us striving towards being inclusive, open, and empathetic, with the highest level of integrity.

But how often do leaders practice what they preach?

In this episode, you’ll hear from Ryan van Haren, an Aviation Coach, Consultant and Corporate Pilot, who will talk about his leadership experiences, explaining the reality of how hard it can be to do the right thing in the face of many oppositions.
