Ep 42: The journey to intentional leadership - with guest Dave Stachowiak

In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom and Tom are joined by Dave Stachowiak, host of the hugely successful Coaching for Leaders podcast (with over 40 million downloads). For regular listeners, you’ll know just how much we admire Dave’s work; we’ve referenced him countless times on Beyond Potential, so having him as a guest on the show is quite the ‘pinch me’ moment.   From a shy introvert who dreaded public speaking to one of the most trusted voices in leadership development, Dave shares his personal story of becoming a more intentional, empathetic leader. With insights from his early struggles in management, to the pivotal role Dale Carnegie played in his development, and how leaders can bridge the gap between knowing and doing.   We explore how to move from knowledge to action, why “trying less” might help you grow more, and how small, consistent steps can lead to lasting behaviour change. We also unpack the importance of reflection and how intentional behaviour change can drive performance, all with the humility and clarity that have made Dave’s podcast essential listening for leaders around the world.   Connect with Dave on LinkedIn.
