Leadership starts on the inside
Success leaves clues and John is helping shorten the learning curve of leadership excellence with this podcast.
Deep dive...
Glad this podcast is out there. There are very few high-quality podcasts specific to leadership. Key Convos does a deep dive to go beyond the typical high- level stuff. Plus John Ryan is a great interviewer.
Leaders Need Conversation
It was an honor to be a part of this show considering the other people that have dropped shiny gems of wisdom for leaders at all levels. Listen to this show and subscribe to it. You won't regret it.
