In this episode of The Journey to CEO Success, Patrick Thean talks with Mike Whitehead, CEO of Intentional Leadership, about two powerful shifts that shaped his leadership: moving beyond dualistic “either/or” thinking and starting each day with gratitude.
Mike shares how letting go of rigid categories opened him up to feedback, new perspectives, and a deeper connection with others. He also explains how his simple morning gratitude practice has helped him stay centered, resilient, and joyful, even in the face of challenges.
Together, they dive into:
Why real breakthroughs start with being open to feedback, perspective, and blind spots
How non-dualistic thinking can expand your leadership and personal growth
The daily gratitude practice that grounds Mike’s leadership and brings clarity at the start of every day
This is a conversation about mindset, growth, and leading with intention, one that will inspire you to rethink how you show up as a leader and as a person.
