Paul Glover, Part Three! It was so good to have one of my favorite people back on the pod. One of my first three-timers, Paul shares his new framework built around the idea of having a fool in your life. But what does that mean, exactly? Drawing on the original medieval example of the "King's Fool" or the "Court Jester", the fool is one who can speak the truth to the king from a different (possibly insane) perspective...WITHOUT getting killed for it. How does that translate today? A fool can be a powerful tool in your life - someone with the wisdom and perspective to see what you cannot (we all have blindspots), AND who is given the "psychological safety" to speak that truth to you without fear of reaction or reprisal. There's much more to it than that, and we get deep into all of the nuances and facets during our conversation. But at the heart of it, the fool is a dead-simple concept that is nevertheless quite challenging and sometimes painful...but so so so worthwhile. Paul is a C-Suite performance coach with 20 years of experience as a federal court trial lawyer. He’s a passionate storyteller who believes in the power of narrative to influence and educate in the business world, personal life, and even courtrooms. He is also a member of the Forbes Coaches Council and the Author of “WorkQuake”.
