Beth Anne Ferris is an exceptional certified professional executive coach. Beth Anne walks you through how to uncover and address the past wounds holding you and your development as a leader back. You’ll also hear about how you can be an authentic leader, how to jumpstart your self-reflection, and when to find a coach to help you grow.\n \nTakeaways:\nThe focus of leadership should not be on influencing your followers to do something, rather, the focus of leadership should be on the leader. Leaders need to start by leading themselves. This is what followers will gravitate toward. \nGreat leaders are authentic to who they are. That comes from getting to know yourself.  Through this, you learn about the wounds you have and can then work on healing those wounds. \nBecoming a great leader involves a lot of self-reflection. Recognizing the deep wounds that you have can propel you to do great things and unlock your ambitions. \nLearning about yourself takes a lot of work and can take a long time, however, hiring a coach can facilitate your growth much faster. \nIf you don't get past your trauma, there is zero probability you're going to be the great leader that you want to be. You can’t be truly vulnerable and still have a wall up. \nWhen hiring a coach, make sure you find someone who you can trust and that knows what you need. \nYou don’t need to have all of the answers as the leader, the people around you will help you find the answers when they show up. \n \nQuote of the Show:\n“The ones that have that ambition, that want to go and change the world, usually have a lot of stuff going on. Deep wounds that have actually made them who they are.” - Beth Anne Ferris\n \nLinks:\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethanne-ferris-ms-pcc-72764545/ \nCompany Website: ​​https://www.bethanneferris.com/ \n \nWays to Tune In:\nAmazon Music:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LF6MbqckdA5Dl-CjzNYCArDi6N_sDajYynEX7WtlWCo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQzNDM4LzE2ODk4/NzgzOTItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
