"Improv Your Leadership: Stevie Ray Reveals Why Weaknesses Don't Exist"
Let's be honest—most of us obsess over our so-called "weaknesses" like they're the weird family photo we need to hide. But what if Stevie Ray is right, and there's actually no such thing as weaknesses at all?
In this mind-bending episode (worth every extra minute), Jason sits down with Stevie Ray, the improv mastermind behind Minneapolis's premier improv company who's helped transform teams at some of the world's biggest organizations.
Stevie doesn't just challenge conventional wisdom about personal development—he flips it upside down and shakes the loose change out of its pockets. Through the lens of improv, he reveals why:
- You can't ask a fish why it's not flying—that's not what it's made for
- What we label as "weaknesses" are often just expecting the wrong things from ourselves
- The best teams don't try to "fix" people but position them where their natural abilities shine
Whether you're leading a team of two or two thousand, Stevie's revolutionary approach to communication, team-building, and personal growth will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about becoming better.
Fair warning: This episode runs longer than our usual format, but trust me—you'll be mad if we cut even a minute. This conversation isn't just about becoming a better leader; it's about becoming a more complete human.
The Calm and Confident Leader is hosted by Jason Stonehouse, exploring unconventional wisdom for today's leaders who want substance over style and results over rhetoric.
