Hello curious listeners.

Leadership is a Performance Art. The people we lead haven't arrived until their voice is in the room. We need the people that we lead to be the protagonist in the story. These are just a couple of the mind expanding, brain exploding, easy to grasp, not commonly implemented ideas that today's guest Alain Hunkins, shares with our listeners.

With over 100'000 LinkedIn followers, Alain is the author of CRACKING THE LEADERSHIP CODE: Three Secrets to Building Strong Leaders (Wiley, March 2020), which was endorsed by leadership luminaries Jim Kouzes, Barry Posner, and Marshall Goldsmith. A faculty member of Duke Corporate Education, Alain’s writing has been featured in Fast Company, Inc., Forbes, Chief Executive, Chief Learning Officer, and Business Insider.

Alain has worked with companies like Walmart, Pfizer, Citi Group, GE, State Farm Insurance, IBM, Microsoft, and grew up in New York City so we had some some good laughs about my time in living New York. He’s a really humble, articulate and passionate leadership development facilitator and coach. By facilitator, he gleans the Latin root word ‘facile’, like in French, means ‘easy’. In leadership, we need to help people make things easier. Easier to understand, easier to accomplish. Those are some of our obligations as leaders.

You've heard this before from me, I know I'm going to have him on again. I need to because we were just scratching the surface. Thank you to Todd Cherches from NYU (Episode 18), and previous guest Rob Salafia from MIT (Episode 13), two people that have led me in this path to connect with Alain today. Enjoy. Thanks for listening.
