Episode 44: How to NOT Lose Yourself as a Leader

“If you’re not clear on who you are, then the people around you are not going to be clear on where they’re going,” says Dominic George.

Dominic is a leadership strategist, executive coach, and founder of Vision Leadership for Life. He helps high-performing leaders rise into senior leadership without sacrificing their identity, values, or wellbeing.

In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Dominic offers advice for leaders on how to stay centered on their core “why” without losing themselves to other people’s expectations.

Tune in to learn:

  • One exercise to help you “read the room” better
  • The limits of “fake it till you make it”
  • What to do if you’re in the wrong place for you

“Legacy starts when alignment becomes your leadership standard, not the expectation,” says Dominic. Recenter, find your voice, and take the next step in your leadership journey.
