On this podcast I have a serious promise to keep to you - to be REAL. In this episode I’ll be using three very real challenges of leaders I have coached, illustrating two of the big, main areas of dysfunction and adversity for leaders everywhere. As with every real story used on this podcast, the names of leaders have been changed, and some stories I tell will be amalgamations of several different leaders, or common situations I’ve encountered among leaders I work with.

Can someone be a fake leader? Oh hellzyeah! People who want a title or raise, but aren’t embracing the true role. It's about really taking responsibility for results and for the relationships you need to get those results.

What do we mean by crap? That stuff that sucks the joy out of work and stresses us out.

This is the podcast for leaders and change agents who have passion, purpose and want to cut through the crap to get stuff done. We discuss real issues facing real leaders, and powerful tools and approaches to burst through the veil of confusion and bullshit, overcome plateaus and address the most insidious challenges facing leaders… including their own worst enemies- themselves.
