In this episode, you are going to learn from my new friend, CEO and Executive Coach at Avenue 8 Advisors, Danessa Knaupp. Although I have been aware of Danessa for a few years, we only recently met a few months ago. The friendship and connection were immediate which we talk about in this episode.
Danessa is super smart and drops so many ideas, concepts, and just plain value bombs, you may want to listen to this episode with a notepad.
In this interview, we talk about:
- Danessa’s new book title that may sound a little shocking, but it may cause you to pick it up.
- We talk about this concept called “Executive Presence” and what creates Executive Presence.
- A few different times in this interview we talk about one of my favorite words “Authenticity” including checking if your authenticity supports or detracts from your message.
- We also talk about your mindset as a leader including identifying how you know if you have a fixed or growth mindset.
- Additionally, Danessa shares a way of framing learning that comes from a book and a very old video called “The Inner Game”. If you are a learner, Just this alone is worth listening to this episode.
