Welcome back to The Cnesta Perspective with Kevin Fitzpatrick — a podcast that explores leadership, self-awareness, and the power of purposeful growth.
In this solo reflection, Kevin dives deep into one of the most overlooked drivers of success: you — not the professional role, not the résumé, but the person behind it all. Drawing insights from his time at the Kolbe Performance Coaching Seminar, Kevin breaks down how understanding the three parts of the mind — Cognitive, Affective, and Conative — can unlock your true leadership potential and drive real results.
This episode challenges you to pause the daily grind, look in the mirror, and ask: Am I leading from my strengths or fighting against them?
