038: Change Is In the Air

Change is in the air. The last several months, I’ve offered some thoughts and ideas regarding life and leadership and how to do both with all of your heart. It’s time to bring some other voices into the mix. 

Starting next week, I’m going to introduce you to some of my amazing friends. You’ll hear from accomplished leaders, consultants, and creatives who will offer excerpts of their stories and share the wisdom they’ve gleaned in their journey.

Why the Change

You may have noticed my absence for the last couple of weeks. I had to take some of my own medicine. Remember my battle cry: Put your own mask on first! Client engagements have taken a healthy leap forward, and I had to hit pause to evaluate and make sure I was offering you quality content. I felt that I wasn’t bringing my best self to the table. I’m not after perfection, but I do want to offer the best of what I’ve gleaned over my 56 years.

One thing I’ve realized about myself is that I really don’t enjoy talking to the wall. I’m uncomfortably self-conscious and overly self-critical in isolation. As Donkey reminded Shrek, “you gotta have friends!” I’ve got some. They are amazing. And I’m going to share them with you.

What to Expect

In the first season, I kept most episodes to just under 15 minutes. These conversations will take a bit longer to unpack ideas well, but I’m still committed to offering wisdom for your journey in smallish chunks. Time is one of your most valuable assets, and I’ll do my best to honor it.

I’ll continue to promote self-care as one of the chief investments you make, not only for yourself but for those in your sphere of influence. You can’t give away what you don’t have. If you don’t care for yourself, you won’t care well for others.

We’ll also be diving into the latest research and thoughts on how healthy leadership trumps process efficiency in establishing sustainable success. While efficient and strategic process determines profitability, how you lead those with whom you work largely determines sustainability.

I’ll host guests who have demonstrated great courage and agility in maintaining their integrity in life and leadership. Some have been at the leadership helm for years while others have walked away from successful endeavors to take a road less travelled and forge new paths.

Season 2 of The Bill Perry Show begins next week. Don’t miss it!

Until next time, lead well!

Bill
