Coaching a Bestselling Leadership Author to Put His Energy on the People He Can Help | Jim Carlough | Ep 1054

From Outlier's Edge Podcast with Niiamah Ashong Niiamah Ashong

"While I can't rid the world of the hate, I can make people a better leader, which becomes infectious." - Jim Carlough

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Jim Carlough for a live coaching conversation. Jim's challenge: how to stop trusting people after getting burned, just as his biggest opportunity is about to land.

You'll walk away with:

Why "how do I trust less" caps your result, and the question that replaces it
Where your energy actually goes after you get burned
Why leadership is built deliberately, not inherited

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
