Dr. Brooks’ career path, taking him through a Bachelor of Science and two graduate degrees in psychology, imbued him with intense curiosity and interest in how our thinking informs our actions. Over the past 25 years he has gone from being a practicing psychologist to helping leaders who are already successful in their chosen fields to become even better. Tune in to get inspired and transformed. KEY TAKEAWAYS -If you’re not sure of your life’s purpose, there are actual steps you can take to uncover this in yourself. -Start small. Start with the one thing you can do. Keep doing what you can do until more becomes illuminated. -Ask for help when you need it. Mentorship can be key in personal growth. - When you’re uncomfortable is when the most growth happens. BEST MOMENTS “Our characters are who we show up as every day, and our characters show up at different times in our lives.”“My superpower is, specifically, having a voice. A voice of purpose, a voice of change and transformation…to help people down a path to their own transformation.” “I struggle with ‘good’ and ‘bad’ when we are defined by it. We have to use our failures and successes as a reference, not as a place of residence.” “(Living with intention is) I’m moving forward with purpose and with knowledge of myself.” ABOUT THE GUEST Dr. Ian D. Brooks has a master’s in Clinical Psychology from Auburn University and a Ph. D in Organizational/Industrial Psychology from Alliant. As a licensed clinician, author, public speaker, and motivational coach, he has helped hundreds of clients overcome their obstacles to success and forge new paths for themselves out of intention and purpose.
