EQ, Resilience & Real Influence | Ep. 22 w/Chuck Garcia (Climb Leadership International)
Description
It's time for another Exclusive Drop you don't want to miss!
Leadership isn’t forged at the summit: it’s forged in the storm.
In this powerful conversation, Chuck Garcia, Columbia University professor, author, and founder of Climb Leadership, joins host Adam W. Barney to unpack what it really means to climb with resilience, emotional intelligence, and purpose .
Mountains and boardrooms share the same truth: the climb tests your patience, your team, and your character. Chuck Garcia shares the three rules he learned on Kilimanjaro that every leader needs to adopt: set a goal (and adjust it), take one step at a time, and never go it alone .
🔹 What you’ll learn
- Why “getting home safely” matters more than “reaching the summit.” Leadership is a long climb, not a photo finish.
- The career lesson from Wall Street that proved EQ > IQ when it comes to promotions .
- How stoicism and self-control under pressure separate average leaders from legends .
- Why communication is the #1 leadership skill schools don’t teach .
- The CTR Factor — credibility, trust, respect — and how to build it in every interaction .
