What does it actually take to lead? The process of growing into a highly effective leader is complex, personal, and messy. The Leader's Journey is here to unpack those stories.

Join veteran executive coach Adam Robison as he has intimate conversations with renowned leaders across business, politics, nonprofits, the arts, and more to dissect the most pivotal moments that defined their trajectories.

By taking listeners back to the inception of each leader's beginnings, Adam and guests explore the origins of their leadership capabilities. Through vivid storytelling, they unravel how childhood difficulties forged grit at a young age, how early passions hinted at purpose to come, what teen mentors imparted lasting wisdom, and which young adult crucible experiences proved foundational.

Then Adam traces the progression of his guests' careers to uncover their greatest challenges overcome, failures endured, skills honed, essential relationships cultivated, breakout opportunities seized, and momentous decisions made under high-stakes pressures with far-reaching consequences. Guests openly discuss those pivotal leadership lessons, along with who and what experiences were most catalytic for their growth.

Listen as they pull back the curtain on the exhilarating breakthroughs as well as the exhausting breakdowns in climbing to iconic senior roles shaping the world across diverse sectors. But leadership at the top can be isolating and emotionally draining. Adam's guests also tackle very human topics like imposter syndrome, sacrifice vs. fulfillment, nurturing personal resilience, work-life purpose integration, maintaining physical and mental health, and ultimately discovering what provides meaning when reaching society's upper echelons.

At its core, Leader's Journey delivers vulnerable, candid conversations that delve deeply into the personal development of leaders we admire publicly but know little about personally. Listeners are invited into an intimate masterclass on leadership growth, unlocking new pathways for introspection and transformation in their own leadership journeys.
