Do you ever put much thought or consideration into your own identity, into who you are at your core? If not, it’s likely you’re not achieving the level of success you’re capable of in all areas of life.

How you see yourself directly influences your behavior, the actions you take and the results you get.

It affects what you think is possible for you to achieve in life. So not only does it influence whether you’ll achieve your goals or not, but identity can determine if you ever have any big dreams and goals to start with.

For 15 years Shannon Graham has been helping people discover their identity, become better leaders and achieve what they once thought was impossible. He is a pioneer of the self-help and coaching industry, a premier motivational speaker who has been featured all over the world and the author of popular books such as “The Revolution of Self: 3 Keys to Personal Liberation” and his latest, “Expand: Leadership that Moves, Fulfills and Changes the World.”
