Free to Lead with Will Steel

from The Exceptional Sales Leader Podcast · host Darren Mitchell

In this riveting episode of the Exceptional Sales Leader podcast, I engage in a thoughtful conversation with Will Steel, a former RAF pilot turned High Performance Coach. Broadcasting from Bologna, Italy, Will shares his journey from piloting fast jets to guiding individuals and organisations towards authentic leadership. He discusses the pivotal moments in his career that led him from aspiring to fly Harriers to finding his true calling in personal development and coaching. Listeners are taken through Will’s exploration of ontology, the study of ‘being’ and its application in his coaching practice. The episode highlights the significance of understanding one’s perceived limitations and the profound impact of self-sabotage on one’s career and life goals. Throughout the conversation, Will offers insights rooted in his personal experiences, offering invaluable guidance to those looking to lead with authenticity. The discussion also covers the importance of establishing a vision and understanding the deeper motivations that drive successful leadership.
