We have been told a lot of things about leadership. Much of which has come in fortune cookie format through the myriad of self-help books mass produced for today's motivational market. The truth is that "effective leadership" is far more contextual than we think. In today's episode we discuss a few of the issues surrounding this topic as well as how it is negatively impacting leadership development.

If you enjoy discussing principles of leadership, and want to dive more deeply into what the science TRULY says, be sure to join us at our Apprenticeship™ workshops available worldwide: https://artofcoaching.com/the-apprenticeship/

E43 | Danny Matta: Understand What You're Worth Nov 20, 2019

Show notes

Do you have a job where you have to communicate with a wide range of demographics? Specifically do you find it difficult to adapt your communication style to members of different generations (kids, Baby Boomers, Millennials etc.) If so, join myself and Robert Linkul on Thursday, November 26th at 11:30AM PST where we will be discussing strategies to combat this and make you more effective. The cost is $15 which literally is the cost of less than 3 cups of coffee at your local coffee shop. http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07egq8p6494a82d766&llr=uri5twxab

Don't forget to apply now for our Coalition group. If you are someone who values the opinions of others but have trouble getting the feedback and level of collaboration you need we would love for you to join our community. https://artofcoaching.com/the-coalition/

In this episode my guest Danny Matta and I share some of our takes on the dangers of not understanding your worth and the thought processes that need to be considered when providing a service. Fair warning, some of the language in here is not appropriate for children.

A few additional points- any dollar amounts discussed in this episode whether it be in regards to physical therapy services, speaking rate breakdowns and/or course costs are hypotheticals only.

The critical subjects within this episode are as follows:

Are "mastermind groups" a cult or do they have a purpose

How a lack of economic education impede your progress as a professional

Why cash based PT practices are more beneficial for both patients and practitioners

Figuring out the right approach for you to address financial debt

Why strength coaches and educators need to quit demonizing money
