Episode 134: Reality vs Imagination in Leadership

I had a short staycation with my family over the weekend.   It was our first trip as a family of 4 and it involved a 4 hour car ride with our soon to be 4 year old and teething 9-month-old.   Well, you can imagine.   I reflected on how I had imagined this trip and other milestone moments in motherhood.   And how not many of them have turned out even remotely as picture-perfect as my imagination.   Pre-motherhood, I remember hinting to others about what kind of mother I would be. If you had been subjected to these convos (sorry!), you might have conjured up an image of a mom who is...   Always fully present,   With an immaculately clean home,   Whose kids just love brussel sprouts.   And yes you guessed it.   Reality looks very different from the imagination.   What does any of this have to do with corporate leadership?   In this week's episode, we discuss 2 lessons from this that are applicable to corporate leadership. If you are a current or aspiring Director, VP or SVP, this is for you.   Click to listen.   FREE TRAINING Register for The Catapult Your Career Bootcamp (http://thecatapultbootcamp.com) WORK WITH US Join the Catapult Your Career Program (http://cycprogram.com)
