Episode 17: Your Leadership Journey is Yours, It’s Important, and it WILL Shape You featuring Ryan Carey

Your leadership journey is yours alone. Your experiences, your triumphs, your failures, your hard times and your easy times, they’ve all been shaping you and how you act as a leader.

The trick is to be accepting of your failures and your wins, to see how each of your experiences has shaped you, and then ensure your evolution as a leader is in tune with the kind of leader you want to be.

In this special Remembrance Day episode, we are speaking with Ryan Carey, who will discuss his leadership journey from his youth to professional football player to Canadian Armed Forces veteran, and being to an advocate for increasing awareness surrounding concussions across all fields.

Ryan’s story is meant to remind us that each of our leadership journeys are unique and special, and once we create a path that follows our personal values, we can, and WILL, make the differences that we want for ourselves and the world.
