Leadership is hard. There are days when we don’t feel like motivating or inspiring anyone, because we feel tired and discouraged ourselves. Before we can be effective at developing those we lead, we may need to overcome setbacks and challenges that fuel our doubts and insecurities.

20 years in corporate America gave Cory Carlson (website) amazing opportunities as he worked his way up to the executive level. But he also saw brokenness: work without purpose, burnout, lack of focus, strained marriages, and absentee parents. Business leaders especially were often not living life to the fullest.

In this episode, Cory draws from his second book, Rise and Go, to provide recommendations on how leaders can overcome setbacks and challenges and lead effectively, at work and at home.

An executive coach, husband, and father of three, Cory understands the pressures working parents face. He is passionate about helping business leaders win at home and work. Hear him on the Win At Home First Podcast.
