ABCPL #05 - E for Exposing Excuses

When you encounter someone who is known as a "global kindness advocate," what kind of person do you expect them to be?

Probably not someone who has run their own business, holds a senior position at a global industry-leading company, and who is held in esteem as the #1 mental health thought leader in the world, right?  

But that's exactly who Barbara Vercruysse is.  

And it's all because of kindness.

Kindness has got a bad rep in the corporate world. We tend to associate kindness with "weakness." However, kindness is not "niceness" or "passivity." Rather, it is an awareness of your personal power as an individual and then bringing of that power intentionally into whatever situation that you are in with grace and ease.  

On this episode of the Podcast, join Barbara and I as we explore what kindness really is and see how we can practice kindness towards ourselves and then outwards towards others. We will discuss topics such as trust, fear, personal healing, maintaining boundaries, becoming comfortable with saying no, dealing with dysfunctional teams, and building positive organizational culture--all through practicing powerful and intentional kindness.  

Trust me when I say that this is an episode that you don't want to miss!

Ready for a crazy stat? Around 90% of businesses fail within their first five years! But get this: the 10% that dodge the failure bullet aren't the big spenders or the ones with massive resources. Rather, they are the ones that have a plan for long term success. That's because they understand that success--whether in life or in business--is more of a marathon than a sprint. The real winners aren't the ones chasing quick wins; they're the ones in it for the long haul. They're the ones laying down a solid foundation, playing the strategic game, and staying tough when things get rocky. They're the ones who forget the idea of overnight success, because they know that slow and steady is the real deal in life and in business.

In this episode of the podcast, join me as I speak to an expert on long-term success: Coach Jim Johnson. Together, we'll reflect on his long and celebrated career as a high school basketball coach--at the trophies he won, achievements he received, and the NBA players he set the foundations for--and see what his wins, losses, highs, lows, experiences, etc. have taught him about the journey of leadership and success.
