In this episode of the "Reaching the Peak" podcast, I, Jeff from Apex Leadership Development, dive into the essential elements that can either facilitate or hinder your personal and professional growth. I emphasize the importance of identifying a specific area where you want to see growth and setting a bold, actionable goal—one that might even scare you a little.

I discuss three critical factors that can impact your ability to achieve these goals:

1. Do You Have the Right Tools? - Just like my dad, a carpenter who sometimes had to borrow or rent tools, you need to ensure you have the necessary resources and skills to reach your goals. I share my experience of joining the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team to gain the tools I needed for coaching and training.
2. Are You in the Right Place? - It's crucial to assess whether your current environment supports your growth. This could mean evaluating your workplace or even considering a physical move to a location that aligns with your career aspirations.
3. Do You Know the Right People? - Building a network of mentors and coaches is vital. I highlight how I draw inspiration from figures like John Maxwell and Malcolm Gladwell, even though I've never met them.

By addressing these three areas, you can better navigate the roadblocks that may stand in your way. If you need further guidance, feel free to reach out to me. Remember, my goal is to help you reach your peak! Thanks for tuning in, and I look forward to our next conversation.
