In this episode of the Grow or Die podcast, I sit down with my CEO coach, Nickie Froiland, to unpack the power of perspective and the pivotal role it plays in leadership, business, and personal growth. We discuss how expanding your perspective can lead to smarter decisions, deeper relationships, and more effective leadership. Nickie introduces the concept of "being a drone" — zooming out to see the full picture — and how it can help navigate tough challenges like payment processing issues and team alignment.
We explore key topics like how to recognize early warning signs in business, the importance of clarity in decision-making, and the shift from being reactive to being proactive. This episode is a powerful guide for leaders looking to refine their decision-making process and approach challenges with a broader, more strategic mindset.
