Listen "077: Die Tired: Maximizing Your Impact with Dr. PJ Caposey"
Episode Synopsis
What if your greatest strength is simultaneously your biggest weakness? Award-winning superintendent and leadership coach Dr. PJ Caposey cuts through conventional wisdom to reveal a compelling truth: the qualities that make us exceptional are often the same ones holding us back from reaching our full potential.Drawing from his experience as both a superintendent and cancer survivor, PJ shares profound insights about leadership as a relay race rather than a solo sprint. He discusses the liberating concept of "bringing all of yourself" to both work and home, breaking down the exhausting compartmentalization many leaders struggle with. Using the Enneagram as a tool for understanding our default dispositions, he demonstrates how self-awareness can transform not just how we lead, but how we live.The conversation explores the "lighthouse" approach to parenting, finding joy in creating ripples of positive impact, and the courage to embrace our imperfections authentically. This permission to be authentically human while striving for excellence represents the core of PJ's leadership philosophy.Whether you're seeking to maximize your impact as a leader, understand your behavioral patterns, or bring more authenticity to your daily interactions, this conversation offers practical wisdom that transcends typical leadership advice.EPISODE RESOURCES:Connect with PJ via his website, Instagram, LinkedIn, and email: [email protected] out PJ's books on Amazon.
