Welcome to Episode 1137 of the Arete Coach Podcast: "From 'To-Do' to 'To-Be': A Paradigm Shift in Leadership". Join your host, Severin Sorensen, for a powerful dialogue with David Savage, a master of transformation. As a renowned speaker, author, executive coach, and president of Savage Management Limited, David is an expert in transforming conflict into collaboration and turning communication breakdowns into breakthroughs.

In this compelling episode, we dive into David's world of 'to-be' leadership, contrasting it with traditional 'to-do' lists, and unraveling a whole new way to view success and achievement. Together, we explore topics such as the art of active listening, the power of mindfulness, and the crucial role of being present in coaching and leadership.

David enlightens us on how to turn 'the great resignation' from a potential disaster into a thriving opportunity. He walks us through his unique methods of handling employee terminations with empathy and respect, while revealing the distinct line between customer service and customer delight.

Drawing from his wide range of life experiences and insights from his nine published books, including "Better by Design, Your Best Collaboration Guide", David shares his philosophy on leveraging even negative experiences, like a truly bad job, into invaluable lessons for personal and professional growth.

Immerse yourself in this journey with us as we delve into the fascinating shift from 'to-do' to 'to-be', offering you the tools to become the best version of yourself in leadership and life.
