280: Self Care Really is Health Care
We know that we can’t give what we don’t have, but if there was ever a time where this really resonated, then these times of the COVID Pandemic really highlight the importance!
Today’s guest is a highly sought after leadership coach and educator. Greg Hiebert graduated at the top of his classes at West Point and Harvard Business school and has worked for some of the most respected consulting firms in the world. He’s an Over Achiever, and his work is all around helping leaders take care of themselves so they can be even better leaders.
Greg is a student of positive psychology and loves to share the science of the good life.
During our conversation we discussed:
Why and how we have to look at capability and capacity especially during the pandemic time
The three experiences/challenges/abuse that made him believe he was worthless
How his childhood set him up to be an overachiever
Teaching at West Point and how he learned how to engage a class (this can be used for almost anything where you are presenting/educating to people)
How we’re living through what the military calls VUCA - Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity
What Greg’s 6 P’s are and how that leads his life in which helps him lead leaders
Two of the most important questions you can ask yourself no matter what is going on
Why to have a “battle buddy” and what to do with them
How leading by example and reminding people of the mission can be the best way to lead
How in the end of the day, life really comes down to three principles
