Do you feel like everything in your life is happening to you or for you?


It’s easy to feel like you have no control over how things at work happen - especially as a leader. All the moving parts involved in each day make it difficult to distinguish what you have a say over and whether or not you get to do what’s a “hell yes” for you.


In episode #159, Erik explains how to change your perspective as a leader for the best, the difference between multitasking and switch tasking (plus the difference between them) and the impact AI will have on leadership.


We also explore the art of saying no and chat about the unique life experiences that have brought him to where he is today.


Erik Qualman is a bestselling author with 5 #1 Bestselling books on Innovation and Digital Transformation in 8 languages. He’s also a renowned motivational speaker and has spoken in over 55 different countries worldwide, reaching over 50 million people. He is currently a professor of Digital Leadership at Northwestern University, and his materials are used in over 500 universities. 


Tune in to hear all about Erik’s leadership journey and the lessons learned along the way!
