About the Episode
LifeBlood ENGAGE: We talked about leadership training, how to close the gap between intellectual understanding and emotional readiness, having a framework for supporting people to successfully grow and how the right data can tell a story.
We discussed how Bill became obsessed with growth, how he’d been that way for a really long time, but he was unable to articulate it, how he grew from being a sales leader to launching his own company to help other leaders become more effective and unlock growth and potential.
We talked about a childhood experience that caused Bill to change the way he viewed leadership and made him realize that success is available to most anyone who is truly interested in getting it.
We discussed how we don’t own other people’s growth, our job and responsibility is to position others to step into their own growth and realize their own potential, and that it’s impossible for us to do that for others.
We talked about using data to turn perceived soft skills into hard skills and how to place a value on relationships through the use of that data, a framework for unlocking potential in others, the challenge of bridging the gap between intellection understanding and emotional readiness, and how not everyone is interested in engaging in this kind of growth with Bill Eckstrom, Founder and CEO of EcSell Institute, an organization creating happier teams and more profitable companies by turning leaders into coaches, he’s the author of the Coaching Effect and a keynote speaker.
Listen to learn why we need to not lonely push through discomfort, we need to relish in it in order to get the success we’re looking for out of ourselves and our teams!
