I am privileged now to still be serving as your host after 300 episodes were in our fifth

year where twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays I have the enormous privilege to sit in this

chair until they take me out of the chair and interview some of the world's most fascinating

leaders. People that are bestselling authors and business titans and researchers and authors

and keynote speakers. People that are perhaps household names because they are celebrities or

movie stars or CEOs of big companies or in many cases people that have worked tirelessly for

years doing deep research on behaviors and practices and mindsets that improve all of our

abilities to become better leaders, formal leaders, inside organizations and even informal leaders

inside our families. I'm delighted today to invite a guest that was one of only a few guests

on the other podcast that I host for Franklin Covey called Sea Suite Conversations where

each week I interview an individual from the Sea Suite and we've invited Terry to come today

as the author of the book Boundary Boss. Terry Cole is a renowned psychotherapist, leadership coach,

expert on relationships and boundaries. Her book I found so riveting we chose to have her on

both podcasts. It's called Boundary Boss, the essential guide to talk true, be seen and finally

live free. Terry, welcome to on leadership. My thanks for having me and I appreciate it.

Do I have you here? This topic is of enormous interest to me personally mainly because those

that know me know that I lack boundaries. I lack setting them. I lack honoring them. I generally

am evolving to better appreciate the role boundaries play in all of our relationships, especially

in 2023 in the workplace where boundaries have become enormously important for safe work

environments, respecting leaders and your team members, recruiting and retaining talent,

and making sure that you establish and build a high trust culture. And so today what I'd

like to do is probably even share some vulnerable stories around my own struggle with boundaries
