Dr. Benjamin Ritter sees in others what they can’t yet see in themselves, which is what we love about his work. So we invited Dr. Ritter to join us and discuss his book, Becoming Fearless, because we believe that everyone should feel in control of their business journey and find joy along the way.

This book is a reflection of his work with CEOs, founders and senior leaders where he has helped individuals move from self-doubt to self-mastery - in fact he cites 65 ways that anyone can do this. His guidance to his clients places a strong emphasis on skill development in effective communication, performance management, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance to prevent toxic relationships and turnover. He knows that leaders who learn to tone down the fear and amp up the confidence move further faster on the quest for success.

Highlights of our conversation:

- To rise up one needs to break free from limiting beliefs and create a career aligned with true desires.

- You must be your greatest champion and learn to take active control of your path and your time.

- Great leaders understand the role leadership presence plays and they seek to fine tune this skill for their benefit.

- Note only does the CEO's vision shape the culture, engagement, and success of the organization, but their level of confidence and self-mastery supports buy-in and engagement from others.

- Credibility and reliability are critical - teams must ‘see’ their leader as the expert and have trust in them.

- Fearless leaders empower employees, support their professional growth, give them control over their careers and motivate them to contribute effectively.

- Executive coaching benefits leaders by providing a safe space for personal development, working on leadership brand and vision, improving self-doubt, building positive relationships and operating in that fearless zone.
