Have you ever thought of emotional agility and surrender as the hidden business breakthrough secrets?
Today’s guest is Dr. Matthew Norton, a leadership and team culture coach serving business owners who want to increase profitability, and are open to doing that through improving the people aspect of their business.
Matthew shares stories of loss of life and purpose, and how to reconnect, or connect for the first time, with our own unique genius. He describes his “Core Four” assessments, and likens them to the different languages we all speak:
Action Approach
Cognitive Styles
Inspiration Sources
Emotional Agility
He says the last assessment, your emotional agility, is the most critical to your ability to lead.
We talked at length about one of my favorite topics: mindset, and Matthew shared some resources that we’ve linked in the show notes, so make sure to scroll down to access them.
His parting wisdom is:
Clarity is most the noble driving purpose
Begin with yourself, the leader (you ARE your first hire, afterall)
My biggest takeaway from our conversation is that when we understand ourselves and others, we are in a much better position to lead, and leadership is much more about listening and guiding than telling and directing.
