In fact, your leadership journey will have high and low points. Your journey will have you questioning your abilities and pushing your self-confidence, and you know what? But also, your journey will be filled with moments of pride knowing you helped people, that you made a real, tangible difference in those you are lucky enough to lead. And you know what, all of this is absolutely ok. It’s your journey, and as long as you keep your mind open to learning and new possibilities, your path will take you exactly where you need to go.In this episode, you’ll hear from Erin O’Toole, a former Member of Parliament for Durham, ON, former leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, and RCAF veteran, who will share his leadership journey, offering what he has seen and experienced during multiple career and leadership pivots. Erin will explain how his experiences have, and continue to, shape the kind of leader he is, and where he hopes his leadership journey will take him next. Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #7 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2023.Support the showTrench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #5 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2025.Connect to Trench Leadership:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYnaqOp1UvqTJhATzcizowATrench Leadership Website: www.trenchleadership.caLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/trench-leadership-a-podcast-from-the-front/?viewAsMember=trueAre you looking for a podcast editor/producer?
