Failing Forward

Cory Carlson had a successful career in corporate America, but he still felt stuck. So, he hired an executive coach and began focusing on his personal life—his wife, his children and himself—with greater intention. It might sound counterintuitive, but those changes actually helped Cory in his professional life, too. He came to work as a better leader for his team and started mentoring his direct reports to make similar changes in their own lives. Today, Cory is a full-time leadership coach and the author of “Win at Home First.” He joined us for episode 42 and discusses marriage, forgiveness, how to be vulnerable as a CEO and the importance of interrogating the internal agreements we make. Even if you don’t have a traditional 9 to 5, his story will inspire you.
