Leadership Journeys [66] - Nick McQuire - "Learn it all as opposed to know it all"

This is the Leadership Journey series on the Choosing Leadership Podcast.I believe we all have a lot to learn from each other's stories - of where we started, where we are now, and our successes and struggles on the way. With this series of interviews, my attempt is to give leaders an opportunity to share their stories and for all of us to learn from their generous sharing. If you know a leader whom you would like to see celebrated on the show, please send me a message on LinkedIn with their name.In the heartfelt conversation, Nick shares about his unusual background and how that gives him an advantage. We talk about how he maintains a harmony between work, family, and health - while living in London and leading his team based on the west coast of the US. Listen to this one for some practical tactics on how to structure your day and when and where to draw boundaries.You can find Nick at the below linkshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholasmcquire/In the interview, Nick sharesmy route through to where I'm at, uh, at the moment,  has certainly been a kind of a meandering path through a number of different opportunities and challengesmindfulness works for me is as long as I've got that structure and it's communicated well with the team that and everyone understands and we've got a mutual respect for that, it works.if you can have those transparent discussions and there's flex on either side. I think it ultimately, that's the place you want to get to and that transparency and respectful approach to your colleagues, I think is so important.the big changes that happened in my life and career as a result of setbacks ultimately turned to be really good things.The temptation and the visceral reaction is quite natural, is to be downbeat and to be a little bit oh my goodness, you know, what's happening, type of, uh, reactions. But I think in the long run, kind of hold onto the point that actually these tend to be really positive events, cuz you'll be able to, it'll take you onto, you'll either trampoline into another area.
