We all have our own experiences, but I’m sure you’d agree that we live in a time where there are more distractions or temptations that give us short term gratification — whether that’s easy convenient foods, a hit of social media or a quick share of celebrity gossip. One of the pillars of this podcast, is the paradox that Growing to our potential requires purposeful, positive empowerment…but our culture is often suffocating us with negative drama.

So today we’re going to address this paradox in a conversation with Gary Leblanc – a man who knows a thing or two about living a purposeful life and the importance of rising above those temptations that give us a quick hit but don’t provide long term happiness.

Gary is the CEO of Ikkuma – a company that is driven to address one of the biggest paradoxes in business today — that achieving sustainable success requires healthy and happy employees yet the pursuit of success and pace of business is leading more and more employees to be stressed, disengaged and burned out.

“The gap between the noise and awareness lies your power”

“You’ve got to ignore what people think you should be”

Gary is also a man with a mission. After a personal wake up call that led to major career shift and plenty of time looking in the mirror at his own motivations, Gary launched himself into a journey of discovery. He’s the author of Find Your Superhuman, passionate advocate for the unique gifts we all have and someone who DEEPLY CARES about helping people. With a degree in mechanical engineering and a mind for figuring things out, Gary helps individuals and organizations eliminate the needless noise and instead, focus energy on what truly matters — sharing your unique gifts and living your purpose.

What we cover in this episode:

  • The noise that takes us away from what matters most
  • What Gary learned to value from his parents
  • Why adversity can be a blessing
  • The power of being intentionally “in tension”
  • Why you might want to seek out and find criticism
  • How the delta of expectation can cause a lot of pain
  • Why taking an inventory of what serves you and what doesn’t serve you can help you clarify what needs to change
  • The power of growing in the values you profess to have
  • What your physical environment does to your attention
  • The gap between the noise and awareness is where your power lies
  • Gary’s incredible 5-step process of “unskillful reflection”

“Our biggest obstacle is allowing our ego to shape our decisions”
