“We’re starving for good, strong leadership. And you are the leaders that can change it. Every single one of you, every conversation every day. So don’t sell yourself short and go lead everything.” -Phil Swanson

 

Imagine a world without a single authority in place. It would be a dark place filled with turmoil, disorder, mess, and confusion. Without leaders, the relative peace we experience today would cease to exist. Yet, despite this obviously urgent need, the world still lacks good leaders who are willing to stand up and take responsibility. It is a scary job, but it is the only job that can spark change. 

In this episode, Bruce and Go Lead Everything Founder, Phil Swanson will help you discover your significance. Often, we underestimate the impact we can make because of the way we were programmed as a child. But these beliefs should not be our ultimate truth. Challenge yourself to question everything and walk away from things that are not true of you. Bruce and Phil will guide you on how to get the right perspectives, let the burdens go, learn the good and filter out the rest, move out of deep depression, and teach your children to live free from limiting beliefs. The world is in chaos and people are searching for good leaders. Stop selling yourself short and answer the call!
