Good leadership is broad, complex, dynamic, and it's often challenging.

Most of us don't do well long term as leaders if we keep doing things the same way we've always done them.

On this episode if you aren't already how to get moving.

This is coaching for leaders episode 374.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential.

Greetings to you from Orange County, California. This is coaching for leaders and I'm your host, Dave Stahovia. Leaders aren't born. They're made and this weekly show gives you access to the practical wisdom that will empower you to become a better leader.

Those of you have listened to the show for a while have heard me espoused the value of movement. The importance as leaders, well not even

just as leaders as human beings, of moving forward, sometimes maybe even moving backwards

a bit, but moving as a way to

learn, as a way to influence the world, as a way to build courage and bravery in the

work that we do. And today's guest is someone that when I started researching him and reading his book,

the word movement was the thing that came up for me in just about every aspect of his life and his work. I am thrilled to welcome to the show today, Scott Harrison.

Scott in 2004 served as a photojournalist for Mercy's ships in Liberia, West Africa, where he learned the life-threatening

effects of contaminated water.

Upon moving back to his home in New York City in 2006, he founded the organization Charity Water. Today Charity Water

is one of the most visible nonprofit organizations in America and he is the

author of the new book about his journey, Thirst, a story of redemption, compassion, and a

mission to bring clean water to the world. Scott, I'm so glad to welcome you to

coaching for leaders.

Dave, thanks for having me. This is fun.

Your story of Charity Water, as I mentioned the bio, maybe starts officially in 2004, but I think

after learning more about your story that the real story probably starts when you were four years old.
