Learn how real transformation in leadership begins when we shift our focus from what’s happening to us to what’s happening within us.

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Chuck DeGroat in Ep. 262, Fro Fired to Flourishing.

“I had to turn my attention from what happened to me to what was happening within me."


THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Change leaders cultivate self-awareness by focusing on their internal responses rather than solely external circumstances.
  • Transformative leadership requires individuals to process their own emotional reactions before leading others through change.
  • Leaders grow when they move beyond blaming external events and explore what pain reveals about their deeper character.
  • Navigating difficult transitions means finding growth by going through challenges, not simply avoiding or getting over them.
