Polar Vortex Leadership Experience
Are You Leading from the Couch or the Cold? 🥶🔥
A few years ago, I found myself moving my daughter out of an apartment in the middle of a polar vortex ❄️. The temperature was brutal, and within minutes, I realized something powerful—leadership is a lot like working in the cold.
You can read books, take training, and listen to great leaders 📚🎤, but nothing beats real-life, boots-on-the-ground leadership experience. The kind that shapes wisdom, builds resilience, and gives you authentic perspective.
So, here’s the question: Are you leading from the warmth of the couch, or are you stepping into the cold to truly connect with your team? 🛋️➡️❄️
📌 In this video, I break down:
✅ The different levels of leadership experience
✅ Why theoretical leadership isn’t enough
✅ How to step into the “cold” and become a stronger, more impactful leader
💡 CHALLENGE: What’s your “working in the cold” leadership moment? Share in the comments! 👇
