John Amaechi OBE: Becoming the Protagonist of Your Own Story
Manage episode 513627278 series 2933669
What does it take to achieve the extraordinary?
World-renowned Psychologist, Bestselling Author, and Founder of APS Intelligence, Professor John Amaechi OBE, joins gunnercooke founder Darryl Cooke in this truly moving episode of The Inspiring Leadership Podcast. Recorded live at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
In The NeverEnding Story, an overlooked child discovers he is the protagonist, and the only one who can save a fantastical world. For John Amaechi, that story became a powerful metaphor: “The most unlikely of people in the most improbable of circumstances can become extraordinary, if you are willing to plan and work at it.”
From NBA, to OBE, to PHD, John’s story is one of impossible and improbable goals achieved through relentless persistence, and a refusal to be defined by bias. Darryl and John consider the true privilege of leadership, the impact we have on our colleagues’ mental health, and why the best leaders are those who accept they are never a finished product.
In this unmissable episode, John shares lessons on leadership with humour and honesty that will stay with you long after listening.
