Overcoming Adversity: Letting Go of the Victim Story | Jeff Faldalen

How do you move forward when your past keeps telling you who you are? Jeff Faldalen shares how overcoming adversity, from a drunk driving crash more than 30 years ago that nearly killed him and left his sister in a coma, started him on the path to coaching others. He and Greg Aden talk about getting honest, letting go of the victim story, and what that means for the way leaders show up.

In this conversation: - Why the hardest thing Jeff ever had to release was his victim story, and how changing the story you tell about your past changes how you lead - The two things Jeff says control the quality of your life: the images in your head and the scripts you tell yourself - How mentors who refused to buy into his ego, and the value of having a coach outside your own beliefs, shaped his growth - Why leadership is in transition, why control and scarcity no longer work, and why leaders struggle most when they cannot get honest and ask for support
