Charge Up: Power Cast with Victor Pisano

Has your listening to talking ratio gotten skewed? No worries — Victor's got some tips for regaining and even strengthening your skill, so that you can align your listening and speaking to having two ears and one mouth.

In our busy, ambitious world, that question is often on our lips, and we quickly look for the next path to pursue at every crossroads. But what if the answer is not down another road, but the rest stop alongside it?

In an episode of exceptional vulnerability, Victor opens up about his own flaws and what he's learned about identifying them, coping with them, and trying to improve. It's raw, real — and incredibly inspirational.

Think you're not a leader? Think again. If you have ever stepped outside your comfort zone to help others, you've put yourself in that position. It's through crisis that you discover who you are, what you can handle — and the leader within.

When ego takes over, we lose our authentic selves. It becomes hard to learn, grow and keep a sense of gratitude. It's also impossible to effectively lead with ego. So how do we stay true to who we are, and become the best leader we can be?

Such a seemingly small distance, but a huge emotional gap. The disconnect of social distancing can be jarring. So how do we not only push through, but remember that feeling of disconnect when we get to the other side to fuel an ongoing sense of gratitude?

Reflecting on our pre-pandemic lives can help us reshape what we took for granted into what we give for granted when we are finally able to resume a more normal life.

In a crisis, your mental health needs to much as much a priority as physical. Don't stress yourself out worrying about what "could be". Instead, of consuming yourself with things you cannot control, try to create support systems to help each other out, and work on using belief language when talking to both yourself and others.
