Listen "The Power of Perseverance with Ben Cox"
Episode Synopsis
This interview left such a lasting impact on me. I'm still thinking about Ben's story and his inspiring message. Tune into this week's heartfelt episode with Ben Cox, CEO of the Gold Coast Hospital Foundation. Whether you're sitting down to have your morning coffee or making your commute to work, listen as Ben shares his advice on all things life, love, and leadership.
Ben and I discuss:
Giving everyone the best version of yourself so that they can give the best version of themselves to others
Seeing vulnerability as a strength
The importance of finding the right mentors who understand that the issues that you want to be solved are not the issues that you need to be solved
Leading from the front, and first followers (link to the dancing man on the hill Ben references https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAwhrLHsIGQ - who doesn't love a good dance party!)
Perseverance not resilience; no matter what happens, I can persevere through this
Having the self-awareness to recognise and understand what you did to get through challenges, so you can build systems and processes to help you persevere through your next challenge
Love needing to be unconditional and worthy of you
Happy listening and THANK GOD IT'S MONDAY.
