What I've learned is that when we improve along our doing side, it's helpful, but generally only incrementally so. But when we focus on our being side, it could be transformational. They focus on how can I gain more knowledge, more skills? What's the next degree or certificate that I need to get to be able to advance in my career? They're generally not thinking, how do I heal my mind, my body, and my heart so I could show up as a more positive force for good within the space in which I operate.

That's Ryan Gotterson. He's known as a cutting-edge leadership development author, researcher, and consultant. He's helped hundreds of organizations develop their leaders, primarily through a focus on mindsets. His latest book, Becoming Better, The Groundbreaking Science of Personal Transformation, is a guide on how to elevate your life, impact, and being. So you'll learn one, how to rewire limiting beliefs, two, keys to moving past your fears, and three, the mindset shift that sets great leaders apart.
