Let me ask you this: When was the last time you really leaned into an obstacle and thought, "This could be my chance to grow"? 🤔 That’s one of many golden nuggets from my conversation with Michael Tobin OBE on the first episode of 2025! 🎙️ Mike’s the kind of guy who’s trekked the South Pole, run 40 marathons in 40 days, and still has time to rethink what it means to lead. Here are a few takeaways: ❇️Luck plays a role in success - but only if you create opportunities to welcome it. ❇️"You succeed, or you learn" - there’s no such thing as failure if you gain something from it. ❇️Leadership isn’t about managing - it’s about empowering others to become leaders themselves. Mike also shares some hilarious (and insightful!) stories about trust-building, why fear is overrated, and how to truly connect with people in life and business. 🎧 Tune in now, the link's in the comments. #leadership #lessonsinleadership #weneedtotalkabouthr #2025
