Experience Breakthrough (Part 2)

Breakthroughs are transformative moments that shape and empower our lives. These breakthroughs often come when we challenge our limits, confront our fears, and find the strength to overcome challenges. This week, we continue to explore the journey of breakthroughs in leadership growth and the pursuit of dreams.

During John’s lesson, he shares the remaining 4 breakthroughs everyone needs to experience to reach success. He recounts a personal episode of overcoming a life-threatening challenge, about living his dream, striving for continuous improvement, and the transformative power of our dreams in shaping who we are.

Mark Cole and Traci Morrow cover why self-care is paramount for leaders to effectively take care of others. Mark shares the importance of working from a place of rest instead of resting from a place of work—a crucial mindset for any leader’s mental health. Traci highlights one challenge faced by many leaders — the temptation to serve from an empty cup — and how self-care helps us serve others better.

You’ll also hear how one 76-year-old proved there's no finish line in dreaming. As Terrell Owens once wisely put it, it's about focusing on “breakthroughs, not breakdowns.”

Stick around as we also preview our Day to Grow event and dive into the significance of personal and team growth. This is an episode brimming with wisdom on the four types of breakthroughs that all leaders must navigate to achieve success.

Get ready to be inspired to experience your own breakthroughs. Let's grow together on this episode of the Maxwell Leadership Podcast.
