Listen Later

Hello listeners. My guest today was a joy to speak with. He's been a street performer, tap dancer, wire-walker (he can lay down and read on it), is a faculty Executive Coach at MIT, and has received praise on his new book from one of the most recognizable names in executive coaching, Marshall Goldsmith.

Rob Salafia is the author of ‘Leading From Your Best Self: Develop Executive Poise, Presence, and Influence to Maximize Your Potential’. Get it on Amazon here.

Rob Salafia has a background in performing arts, which we will hear about later. His clients include presidents of banks and support from his book come from Senior VP’s from some globally recognized organizations. Not to mention he was recommended to us by previous episode’s Ian McGregor, CEO of Skratch Labs.

He is an MIT Sloan Leadership Center Executive Coach and CEO of Protagonist Consulting.

Rob, I want to get this out in the open right off the hop. When I think about MIT, I think about that movie about card counting. Tell us more about MIT, and how a guy like you ended up there?!

Rob and I explore the the following, and more:
  1. Who are you in the process of becoming?
  2. The trap of the professional persona
  3. No story in your life is wasted.
  4. Show me what it looks like when you are on the top of your game.
  5. Vision. Strategy. Action.
  6. Executive Presence and Layers of Experience: Our practice of developing our executive presence can grow if we think of it as layers of experience. Consider the following, executive presence is: How others experience us. How others experience themselves when they are with us. The story they tell about us when we are gone.
