Episode 113 – Ian Brooks phd – You Should Be Less Concerned About Your Message Than Relationships & Respect

Building New Skills Toward Achieving New Heights with Ian Brooks There is a journey that you set motion to, and there is a journey that the society has already scripted for you. The community wants you to follow a particular path that may be in collision with your designated path. Growing a thick skin by learning new capabilities and skills to transform your story when life throws such tantrums becomes inevitable. For this very reason, I am joined by Dr Ian D. Brooks, a professional who has dedicated most of his life to helping others transform themselves and realize their capabilities.  Ian Brooks is the CEO and founder of Rhodes Smith Consulting – a Personal and Professional Development firm specializing in behavioural transformations. He is also the author of Intention: Building Capabilities to Transform Your Story. For over 24yrs, Dr Brooks’ career has taken him from working in a clinical ward to organisations and people – to help individuals build skills toward achieving new heights. His clients include Netflix, Shondaland, Bank of America, Guitar Centre, Nike Inc., Sony, and Warner Brothers. His passion for working with individuals seeking expansion and leaders within organisations to develop critical skills toward navigating their organisation and working with their teams is built on the mastery of intentions and consistency of capabilities.   During this episode, Ian will expound on the different ways that an individual can build new skills and capabilities to transform his story, against the societal script.  In This Episode, You Will Learn About: [00:47] Who isDr Ian D.
