We bust the myths of leadership with personal strategist and facilitator, Jodi Hume of LeadingClarity.com. The analogies, metaphors and stories are heartfelt and help clear up what it takes to be a good and effective leader. We all need help sometimes and, that is exactly what Ann and Jodi provide.

Why are there myths about leadership? People are not born leaders- that's another myth, for another day. Ann and Jodi talk and share stories that provide clearer insight into two leading ladies' busy careers.

The 4 myths we discuss-

It's Lonely at the Top- MYTH BUSTED

Leading is is an endurance sport- MYTH BUSTED

Leading is Knowing- MYTH BUSTED

Leading means having all the answers- MYTH BUSTED

Jodi quotes Seth Godin's "The problem you can't talk about... is now TWO problems." Ann and Jodi dive deep into their experiences sharing that #youarenotalone and the importance of not having all the answers is part of being a leader. Coordinating help is vital to being a leader. This is where leadership gains energy and the business moves successfully forward.

Jodi realized she was a facilitator at a young age and compares this discovery to a peanut M&M, separating the variables, she found her entrepreneurial skill. 

Jodi works with founders and leaders around the world, helping them from the beginning stages of a start-up business, through the growing pains and celebrates the victories. Jodi is a certified CoActive Coach, a trained skilled facilitator from Johns Hopkins University and has a Psychology Degree from Loyola University. You can also find Jodi singing with The Wafflers, a Blues & Folk Band, and as a host on her podcast, So Here's My Story...

So many great stories are shared in these 40 something minutes. One we have to mention is Ann's story about endurance. Leading is an endurance sport so, you have to treat it like one. You have to rest, hydrate and train. Ann completed an Ironman competition and knows what endurance that took. She talks about her good friend Bill Bradley and his ultra-endurance races. Bill tells Ann, if I would just call you and you remind me to rest for 30 minutes, I would get the rest I need to complete the challenge.

It doesn't have to be lonely at the top.
