Leading in the Digital Age: The Power of Reflection and Intention (with Audrey Cannata)

Brief Summary of Episode #341

81% of financial brand leaders are investing less than 1-2 hours per week on ongoing learning and development.

But in a time when rapid change is the only constant, this lack of commitment to personal growth is  alarming.

And the most common response we hear when asked about this?

"James Robert, I just don't have the time." 

But is it genuinely a lack of time, or is it a lack of prioritizing learning? 

If leaders are the guiding lights for their teams, what message does it send when they don't prioritize their own growth?

This is why Audrey Cannata, Operations Lead at the Digital Growth Institute, and I launched the brand new series  #DigitalLeadership on the Banking on Digital Growth Podcast.

On this series, we'll be taking lessons and insights from ancient wisdom and applying them to the modern day leader.

Because before you can lead others, you must first lead yourself.
