In today's episode of the CEO Material Podcast, we dive into the importance of community and the people who truly support us. We explore the value of relationships, the power of understanding, and the role of those who help us grow. Join us as we discuss why there is no such thing as a self-made person, the difference between speaking into people versus speaking at them, and the joy of watching others thrive. We also reflect on the influence of family and the significance of maintaining an open heart as leaders.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

• No One is Truly Self-Made: Success is a collective effort. Acknowledge and appreciate the people who have supported you along the way, as their contributions are invaluable.

• The Power of Listening: Listening to understand rather than to respond deepens relationships and fosters genuine connections.

• Seek Out the 'Why': Understanding the underlying reasons behind actions and decisions helps build stronger, more intentional relationships.

• Recognize the Value of Growth: There is immense joy in watching others grow and evolve. Supporting others on their journey can be as fulfilling as achieving your own goals.

• Learn Each Other's Rhythm: In any relationship or interaction, understanding and adapting to the other person's rhythm can lead to more harmonious and effective communication.
