Unlocking Leadership Potential through Presence and Self-Awareness
Join me as I welcome Dr. Kevin Mays, a seasoned psychologist and leadership coach, who shares his expertise on the critical role of presence and self-awareness in effective leadership. Dr. Mays discusses his journey from running treatment centers to working with executives, revealing how skills from addiction recovery are transferable to leadership development. The conversation delves deep into understanding how attachment to beliefs and self-concepts creates suffering, the importance of shifting one's perspective, and cultivating discipline for personal and professional growth. Tune in to learn how to lead yourself before leading others and discover the transformative power of intentional living.
Dr. Mays brings decades of hands-on experience as an executive coach, author, speaker, and facilitator to help do precisely that: thrive. He has guided hundreds of leaders to build organizations where growth isn’t just a number, but a natural outcome of a workplace where people are genuinely engaged and driven. He has developed a deep understanding of team dynamics, leadership development, and strategic business growth, which means you get more than just theory.
