221 – “Righteous Leadership” with Dr. Ray Charles (@TheDrRayCharles)

“It’s one thing to know the gift, it’s another thing to nurture the gift.” – Dr. Ray Charles   Today’s featured bestselling author is keynote speaker, risk management specialist, certified spiritual coach, and fellow podcast host, Dr. Ray Charles. Dr. Ray and I talk about being proactive, how he serves leaders, and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways: Every go-to person needs a go-to person in their time of need. Don’t allow your success be a Pyrrhic victory. Have a global corporate network of mentors that will mirror your world clock. Don’t just limit them to the US. Always be in a state of readiness. Readiness requires a state of intentionality. Focus on the kilobytes of life when making progress instead of the terabytes. Be proactive on one thing. Always set timely specific goals to proactively manifest your desires. “Be proactive to the next step.” Setbacks will come. Turn them into a failing forward moment. Set your mind ahead of time on how you can be resilient. “Life was designed to be an ecosystem.” Find your DNA, your Distinct Natural Ability “Falling is part of the formation process.” Always have both skill and heart. Serving leaders is Dr. Ray’s mission. Be intentional about who your mentors are. Hedge your risk in life by having mentors. “Stress is not going to take me out.” Be intentional in developing your gifts. Be open and stay in a place of humility.   Dr. Ray’s Site: https://www.drraycharles.com/ Dr. Ray’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Dr.-Ray-Charles/e/B07NNJ4NRG?ref_=dbs_p_ebk_r00_abau_000000 Righteous Leadership Podcast: https://anchor.fm/righteousleadership   Related Episodes: 1 - "Burn the Box" with Shawn Purvis (@shawnepurvis): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-1-burn-the-box-w-shawn-purvis-shawnepurvis   9 - "Life Liberation" with Dr. Sinclair Grey III (@DrSinclairGrey): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/the-going-north-podcast-episode-9-dr-sinclair-grey-iii-drsinclairgrey   17 - "The Abundance Mentality" with Daniel Ally (@danielallyway): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/going-north-podcast-episode-17-the-abundance-mentality-with-daniel-ally-danielallyway   84 - "Innovation and Leadership" with Dr. Jeff Standridge: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/84-innovation-and-leadership-with-dr-jeff-standridge   95 - "L.I.F.E." with Jim Phillips (@inspired10): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/95-life-with-jim-phillips-inspired10   99 - "Leader By Choice" with Andres Valdes (@IamAndresValdes): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/99-leader-by-choice-with-andres-valdes-iamandresvaldes   119 - "A Passion for High Performance & Professional Development" with Dr. Elizabeth Carter (@eacaappeal): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/119-a-passion-for-high-performance-professional-development-with-dr-elizabeth-carter-eacaappeal   136 - "Leadership Development" with Kevin Wayne Johnson (@Writing4theLord): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/136-leadership-development-with-kevin-wayne-johnson-writing4thelord 165 - "What Is Enough" with Treveal Lynch (@trevealcwlynch): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/165-what-is-enough-with-treveal-lynch-trevealcwlynch   168 - "Spiral" with Amy Simpkins (@amylsimpkins): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/168-spiral-with-amy-simpkins-amylsimpkins   193 – “The Quest For Purpose” with Dr. Ken Keis (@crgleader): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/193-the-quest-for-purpose-with-dr-ken-keis-crgleader     You can find more resources and leadership training programmes on findcourses.com
