Dr. Wayne Pernell: Be Who YOU Want to Be

Good People, On today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Wayne Pernell. He’s a leadership coach, author, clinical psychologist, magician, and blackbelt. Throughout our conversation, Wayne brings up a topic that many of us have struggled with throughout our lives: doing what others want or expect of us, rather than what we want to do with our own lives. He shares with us a great story about his journey to realizing this personal truth. Dr. Wayne Pernell struggles with people-pleasing tendencies in his professional life, too. The professional truth that he shares is that he realized he needed to develop a skill of being a great leader without needing to be liked. This is an incredibly important nuance. As a leader, you want to be able to inspire people to follow your direction, but you don’t want to become a dictator. So, finding that subtle nuance is essential.We also jump into some questions, like how to use love and passion in our work, what makes him stand out as a leadership coach, and how exercise regimes transfer into success in business and life. Sit back, relax, and take a listen. I’ll see you soon. Some Questions I Ask: What does it mean to love through your work? (16:29)As a leadership coach, how can you help where others can’t? What’s your secret sauce?
