Catalytic leaders have a bias for action. They get things done. They do not like sitting and watching the grass grow. They want the ball. They want to see things get better. They want to move the ball up the field. They want to advance the mission of the organization and the team, and they want to see results. But what if you don't WANT the ball? What if questions like “What if I mess up? What if I miss? What if I fail the team?” are on repeat in your mind? Join William as he discusses the importance of bold, action-oriented leadership - and what to do when you don't want the ball.

If you’ve led for any length of time, you’ve experienced failure. You cannot and will not experience growth without also experiencing failure. The only way not to fail is to do nothing.

Every person on the planet is designed, on purpose, for a purpose—every person and every leader. But what does that look like for you?One of the keys to catalytic leadership is discovering how you are designed and wired to lead.When a leader discovers how they are designed and wired, they can then lean into that, not trying to be like anyone else but being the best possible version of themselves.Join William as he unpacks how you can discover your wiring and become more catalytic in your leadership.
