Now, Brian is living proof that it's possible to break free and live life on your terms.

He speaks from experience when he says you're never too trapped to make a change. Brian's message is clear and simple: believe in yourself, change how you think, and you can change your life. Brian firmly believes it's never too late to chase the life you’ve always wanted.

• You talk about what you call “mind knots.” What exactly are they, and how do they impact leaders?
• What are some strategies leaders can use to identify their own prominent mind knots?
• You suggest leaders should ask themselves one key question every day: Who am I practicing becoming? Why is this question so important, and how can it help leaders transform their mind knots into tools that move them and their organizations forward?
• You call attention to the fact that while cognitive and emotional biases are important to understand when selecting leaders, it’s a leadership lens that is overlooked in most organizations. Can you explain more about the importance of this lens and why it matters?
• In your book, you refer to what you call a “Captain’s Compass.” Can you describe what a Captain’s Compass is and how it can help leaders overcome their cognitive biases?

Over Brent Hafele's career, he has led in the number one or number two role in multiple businesses and nonprofits on the local, national, and international level. As a consultant and coach, Brent walked with hundreds of CEOs and other senior leaders all over North America. He knows the joy and the stress, the excitement and the loneliness, the blessing and the curse of leading organizations. Brent has witnessed it, and he has lived it.

Susannah Cole

Susannah Cole started in property because she had a problem to solve. As a head of household with two little children, her month and money were only just meeting (and sometimes there was a gap) and she wanted more time with her family rather than having to swap her time for money at work. She could see the property could deliver that, so she set to!

She started The Good Property Company in 2011, as a kitchen table start-up. At first, the goal was to source deals for investors, work on JV flips, and then invest in property for herself and her family, to reach Financial Freedom and get to her personal goal which was more time with her family and loved ones, and the relatively passive money coming in, to not worry about money!

In the first four 1/2 years of being full-time in property, The Good Property Company sourced more than 200+ properties, all in Bristol, with a value of over £45 million, at a purchase price of £30 million (before refurb).

She was asked by Wendy, who became her first student, to share her simple step-by-step, and since then she has taught thousands of students to flip, deal source, JV, find investors, and undertake the journey to get to Financial Freedom, so they can reach their goals, and spend more time with their family and friends, and live life on their terms.

Stephen Barden is a renowned leadership coach and mediator with over a decade of experience at CEO and executive board level in the media, technology and communications sectors. He has been in private practice since 2001, working across Europe and the USA, helping both individual senior leaders and organisations develop sustainable and ethical cultures aligned with their strategy and overall purpose.

• Why did you write your book, "How Successful Leaders do Business with their World?"
• How do you define organizational culture and why is it important for leaders to understand it?
• What is the "Navigational Stance" approach?

Stephen Barden

Stephen's approach is pragmatic and holistic, emphasising the value of treating the organisation as an eco-system with both internal and external linkages and interdependencies. He also advises senior management and HR departments on Governance and sustainable work practices.

Stephen is the author of the researched book, How Successful Leaders Do Business with Their World. Based on interviews with military, corporate and educational leaders, the book presents compelling evidence that top leaders learn from a very early age to 'do business with the world' by using their power and authority to partner with it, rather than impose themselves on it. Stephen uses these findings and insights, as well as studies from his own corporate leadership.
