Description
What can every leader stand to learn from the life of a professional clown?
A unique question, for a singular guest, as this week I'm joined by Motivational Speaker, Author, and former Hospital Clown, Eddy Smits. As he shares his journey from teacher to professional clown we talk about the importance of humor in leadership and personal development, and how Eddy's experiences working in hospitals taught him valuable lessons about authenticity, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness. Eddy advocates for a simpler approach to leadership, encouraging leaders to be themselves and to embrace their humanity. He shares some powerful stories from his experiences to back this up, showing the significance of choices and why we should be reframing challenges as opportunities for growth.
