ABOUT SEAN

Sean Glaze is a sought-after leadership and workplace culture speaker, who gained valuable insights on turning talent into teamwork as a successful basketball coach–and now he travels around the country to share those actionable lessons. Sean’s engaging conference leadership keynotes and custom team building programs have helped clients like Cisco, John Deere, the CDC, and Emory University to increase collaboration, boost productivity, and build Sticky Cultures that inspire more profitable team work. Sean’s books, Rapid Teamwork, What Effective Leaders DO, The 10 Commandments of Winning Teammates, and Staying Coachable are entertaining parables that accelerate the growth of leaders and teams! And Sean was previously my guest in May of 2023, in Episode 50 of the series, in which he covered Staying Coachable: A Story With 4 Questions to Help You Thrive In Change, Keep Climbing, and Enjoy Relentless Improvement.

CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

• What creates sticky cultures.

• Focusing too much on strategy and forgetting culture and relationship-building.

• "...failure opens our eyes and ears to opportunities."

• Confidence vs. Arrogance.

• The humility in failure.

• "Baby, I know where I'm supposed to be."

• Work across generations.

• The X's and O's can be taught. What kind of person are you, though?

• Who's the best teammate you've ever had? Why?

• Eating your own cooking/Taking your own medicine.

The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Sean is, How often do you look in the mirror as much as you analyze your environment to ensure you're considering all factors for moving your team forward?
