S21E3 - Leadership, Decision-Making, and Personal Resilience, with Bob Wheeler

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Bob Wheeler about leadership, decision-making, and finding personal resilience. See the video here: https://youtu.be/-2OoopzCCRI.  As a man of true integrity with infectious energy, Bob Wheeler’s crusade for personal growth has  cross-pollinated with his accounting practice to create a new approach to personal finances. His  passion is to help others gain insights about how their emotions trigger financial decisions.  Combining finances with behaviors, Bob explores his personal concept of creating a healthy  relationship with money in his book, The Money Nerve: Navigating The Emotions Of Money, his online  course, Mastering The Emotions Of Money and his podcast, Money You Should Ask. While strengthening his accounting practice, Bob has simultaneously pursued his love of satire and  ventured into the realm of standup comedy. From his thirty years of helping clients, Bob has distilled  a concoction of warmth, humor, information, motivation and budgeting directives that he offers to  anyone with financial concerns. He is also currently the CFO for The World Famous Comedy Store. Bob’s world travels have led him to high altitudes. He has climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, ascended to the  Mount Everest Base Camp, and hiked several smaller mountains in between. With charm and humor,  his experiences on the road, in the office, or running a Greek marathon, feed his wit as a stand-up  comic and financial motivator.   Check out Dr. Westover's new book, The Alchemy of Truly Remarkable Leadership, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/leadershipalchemy.  Check out the latest issue of the Human Capital Leadership magazine, here: https://www.innovativehumancapital.com/hci-magazine.  Ranked in the Top 10 Performance Management Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/performance_management_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 10 Workplace Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/workplace_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 HR Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/hr_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 Talent Management Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/talent_management_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 Personal Development and Self-Improvement Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 30 Leadership Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/leadership_podcasts/ See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
