In this episode of The Mary Marantz Show, Mary is joined by Chris Weinberg, founder and CEO of Well Coached, to discuss the SHOW UP season inspired by Mary's book. They delve into the four silos of success, the DISC assessment, and the importance of self-awareness and self-regulation in leadership. Chris shares his personal journey from growing up in a trailer to becoming a successful business coach, emphasizing the value of grit, resilience, and embracing fear as a motivator. The conversation also touches on the challenges of creative entrepreneurship, the fear of success, and the significance of maintaining a healthy balance between personal and professional life. In this episode: Success is a slippery slope that requires constant self-awareness and adaptation. Everyone talks about The Enneagram, but The DISC assessment is also a valuable tool for understanding your true strengths Fear can be a powerful motivator if harnessed correctly. Creative entrepreneurs often struggle with financial discipline but thrive in innovation. Self-awareness and self-regulation are key components of effective leadership. Balancing personal and professional life is crucial for sustained success. The fear of success can be as paralyzing as the fear of failure. Leadership is a learned skill, not an innate trait.
