Do Not Sell Yourself Short with Ed Reed
Adversities may seem like it’s holding us back from achieving our goals at first glance, but what if they’re actually helping us? — Adversities can lead us down a path of discovering what’s truly important in life—what matters most to us, and why. But it’s also a lot of work.
It’s not something we can avoid, or even choose to avoid. We can’t control it, but we can choose how we deal with it—and that choice determines our response to the situation at hand and ultimately our ability to overcome the adversity itself. And when we do, it’s just amazing what we can find on the other side.
In this episode, Daniel and Academic Management Group Founder, Ed Reed will help us see things through multiple perspectives so that we don’t lose sight of our purpose. Listen in as they share what endurance through pain can teach us about our purpose, 3 golden nuggets to help us become better leaders, the power of human touch, how we can drive profit and productivity, how we can create a company culture based on love, and how to navigate through unpleasant and unexpected situations with grace.
“As you endure the pain, you will birth purpose. through that purpose, you have power. The pain is temporary, but the purpose is forever. You have the power to change not just your world, but the world around you.” -Ed Reed
