Ever wondered how your childhood influences your leadership style? Dr. Kevin Mays joins the podcast, and boy, does he bring the heat! In a chat that feels more like a spirited coffee shop conversation than a formal interview, we dive into the wild intersections of family life and corporate leadership. Dr. Mays, a former family therapist turned executive coach, reveals that the dynamics we experience at home often play out in the workplace—who knew that family drama could follow you to the boardroom?

As he shares stories from his own life and his work with executives, Dr. Mays emphasizes the need for self-awareness. He argues that understanding the familial patterns that shape us is crucial for becoming effective leaders. “You lead yourself first,” he proclaims, and it’s hard to disagree when he paints such a vivid picture of how our childhood experiences lay the groundwork for our adult behavior. With playful anecdotes and genuine laughter, he encourages us to reflect on our own experiences and how they shape our interactions in our professional lives.

This episode is not just for CEOs; it’s for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of themselves and how they show up in the world. Dr. Mays reminds us that leading is not about being perfect; it’s about being present, aware, and authentic. So whether you’re navigating the complexities of parenting, trying to climb the corporate ladder, or simply wanting to lead a more fulfilling life, this conversation is packed with insights that will inspire you to embrace your journey of self-discovery. Tune in and let’s shake things up together!
