The Story Effect

High performers have a formula. Outwork. Out-execute. Don't unravel what's working. Danielle lived this for years, until the formula stopped working at the next level. Enter Matt Dickerson. Founder of Coaching for Clarity, ICF-certified executive coach, and author of a book born out of his own imposter syndrome. In this conversation, Matt explains what coaching actually is (hint: it's not mentorship, it's not therapy, and it's definitely not someone telling you what to do), why 100% of his clients have imposter syndrome, and the moment he discovered his real core value and almost fell out of his chair.

You'll leave with two daily practices that every leader needs and a much bigger view of what's possible for you.

The WSJ and NYT are talking about it. It's all over LinkedIn and social media. Storytelling seems to be trending more than ever. Danielle wanted a global gut check, so she connected with Rob D.

Rob is a storytelling social media influencer (Danielle's words, not his) with a fast-growing following and content that breaks down the winning formulas behind stories, presentation skills and strategy. Take notes on this one.

High performers have a lot in common. We go hard. We fight for control. And sometimes, we're brutal to ourselves (and others.) Leading with love can sound too soft. But Joe Terry has proven it might be the secret to unlocking the next level of your life.

Joe's stories from making it to the NFL to leading Culture Partners, co-authoring his first book, Surrender to Lead, and competing in Ironman World Championships serve as proof that you can achieve your biggest goals without letting your ego control you.

Why are some vacations so memorable and others are so meh? Casey Prentice, entrepreneur and real estate investor, has it figured out.

When he creates a destination, he thinks of the entire experience—how it feels when you arrive, how you're treated throughout the hotels, how many steps it takes to get an ice cream nearby—eveything. Oftentimes, the moments you remember are unplanned, imperfect and yet centered in human connection.

Listen to this and you will never book a trip the same way again.
