Vision Precedes Victory - How to Discover Your Purpose with James Laughlin

Season 6 · Episode 4

Tuesday, May 28, 2024 • Duration 32:28

“How do I find my purpose?”

This is one of the questions I am most often asked by those I work with, and is why my conversation with Leadership Expert and Executive Coach James Laughlin is so insightful.

James’ extensive experience spans working with elite performers and leading organizations, including professional athletes, influential CEOs, and multinational corporations. But James is also a musician, marked by seven world championship titles, showcasing his exceptional ability to foster talent and cultivate winning mindsets.

According to James, purpose is not about self, but about others. Purpose is something that inspires those around you to want to join and work with you to build your vision. The clearer the vision, the easier it is to achieve it and to inspire others. James says that when we heighten our awareness and focus our attention to where we want to go in life, then our purpose is revealed.

This episode is for anyone struggling to find their place in the world and will help you to look beyond yourself in order to find your true meaning.

Level Up Your Leadership Skills With James Laughlin

Season 6 · Episode 3

Tuesday, May 14, 2024 • Duration 28:09

James Laughlin is a 7x World Champion and leadership expert, whose incredible journey has taken him from a small town in Northern Ireland to becoming a world solo drumming champion by the age of fourteen.

In this conversation James highlights the importance of both self-evaluation and self-reflection in leadership and why creating space for thinking and reconnecting with feelings and emotions is a critical component. James also gives us an insight into the unique framework he uses with CEOs, Professional Sports Teams and leaders to create high-performing teams.

Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Family Wealth with Felicia Heng

Tuesday, August 8, 2023 • Duration 26:19

Join Francesco Lombardo for this week's Safe Space as he speaks with Felicia Heng, founder and managing director of Wise Purpose, a boutique consulting firm specializing in family wealth advisory, leadership coaching, and next-generation succession.

Felicia shares her diverse expertise in psychology, investments, and family governance, and sheds light on her work with families and the next generation, specifically focusing on the emotional aspects of inheritance and succession. The conversation delves into the profound impact of sudden deaths and accidents on succession planning, and addresses how narratives related to money and wealth play a crucial role in shaping the emotional journey of individuals involved in the succession process.

Felicia’s advice to the Senior and NxtGen…unpack the emotional journey from practical aspects of succession, inheritance, and family business transitions, as clarity in separate narratives allows for better alignment; recognize that this is both an art and a science, seeking support from independent professionals or networks with codified knowledge; and start discussions earlier when everyone is healthier and less stressed, recognizing the importance of time in addressing complex matters, and embracing the proverb that the best time to act was 20 years ago, and the next best time is now.

Julie’s one piece of advice to the Senior and NxtGen…there has to be a mutual level of respect and sometimes that's a challenge. Under everything, there needs to be a reciprocal respect. Irrespective of the others' views.
