What does it mean to be a full circle leader? This is the question we are answering on this episode of the podcast. You’ll also hear how the Being at Work podcast has evolved to become The Full Circle podcast, and what that means for you as a listener.
What if being a great leader isn’t about juggling countless roles, but instead about showing up as your most authentic self at home, at work, or wherever you are? What many leaders fail to understand is that the person you are at the conference table and the dinner table is one and the same. It’s time to stop compartmentalizing.
This constant switching can leave us feeling out of alignment, stuck in performance mode, and exhausted by the gap between who we are and how we show up. But let me remind you, leadership doesn’t exist in a vacuum. In this special episode, we’re embracing what it means to be a “Full Circle Leader.” Together with my partner and co-creator Nick Reich, we get into how integrating every part of your life actually makes you a stronger, more impactful leader.
Nick Reich is the CEO of Abundant Empowerment and author of Every Player is Bigger Than the Program. Nick has watched this show grow from the inside out, and there is nobody better to be talking about Full Circle Leadership with on this first episode. Learn why the answer isn’t trying harder to compartmentalize, but instead, embracing the power of being a Full Circle Leader.
If you’re craving a leadership journey that helps you care for yourself and your people, especially in those messy, uncertain moments, this is for you.
