It's not easy at the top... and when you listen to this episode, you'll understand the unique challenges leaders face and how to overcome them. Bart is joined by Nancy MacKay, Founder and CEO of Mackay CEO Forum, about the challenges facing senior leaders and the keys to unlocking their own potential. Nancy shares how the pressures - internal and external - facing leaders can sap their motivation, reduce their impact and even cause them to burnout. She explains how she counsels leaders to pursue self-mastery so they can know themselves, lead with purpose, and be more fulfilled in their work. Nancy's advice is valuable not just for CEOs but for anyone who wants to lead more authentically.
