Movies Are Not Junk Food for the Mind


Listen Later

Joseph Lalonde is an award-winning leadership blogger. He helps leaders understand how to use movies to improve their leadership skills and abilities.

Joseph has a unique way of teaching leadership. He found that many leadership training and teaching styles were boring. The way leadership is taught often takes away the fun of entertainment. Joseph believes leaders can learn from movies and that is what he has been doing for the last 10 years, using movies to teach leadership. He recently released his book, Reel Leadership, where he digs deeper into this topic and way of learning.
