#141 Dr John Izzo - Watch where the puck is going

Hurt people hurt people. Everything in this conversation focuses on being whole, bringing the whole person to work, integrating the masculine and feminine. Dr John , a best-selling author and keynote speaker who has advised over 800 global companies invites us to lead a certain way. We discuss toxic masculinity and how the messages of being strong, stoic and not asking for help is at the core of male wellbeing (or not). We discuss how the masculine paradigm has dominated leadership with traditional energies of power, status, competition valued above anything else.We discuss how you find joy as a leader and how we have never been trained in being resilient and staying happy. Dr. John shares the three-step framework they use at Blueprint, a collaboration with University of British Columbia to enhance the well-being of men and communities. Insightful and thought-provoking. I love his advice to watch where the puck is going. He is based in Canada. Yes, puck.
