Child's Play

Grow up. Stop acting like a child. You’re so juvenile. Amazing how the most important and formative phases of our lives become insults and pejoratives at a later stage in life. Typically they’re used to describe a grown adult who’s behaving irresponsibility or not being accountable or responsible. What if, instead, we could remember that these early stages of our lives are precisely the time when wonderment, discovery and creativity embody nearly everything we do? What if embracing these qualities could become not only encouraged but lauded? Remember the film “Big” with Tom Hanks? No? Go watch it again. The wonderment and clear vision of a child transformed a company, shifted relationships and brought joy. This week we take a trip to visit the inner child, courtesy of playful dogs and a really cool helicopter. What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast features guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy helps clients unearth and untether their own internal leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. #childsplay #innerchild #responsibility #DogTraining #leadership #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash
