On this episode, Shanta speaks with John Cuomo. John is a firefighter but, first and foremost, he is a community advocate. His passion for his work stems from his love of the people he serves and his desire to make them feel as safe as possible, and he contends that every job should contain purpose stemming from a similar place. His new book, Leadership Refined by Fire, arms leaders both in the fire service and out with the tools needed to create a workplace fueled by meaning. He can speak to:Talking about Love: Why a real leader should be motivated by love - for both his employees and the customers he's serving - and how to manifest it despite typical workday pressuresNecessary Discipline: Though it may not seem like it at first, John discusses why steady discipline practices will benefit your employees far more than turning a blind eyeFinding Meaning in Every Task: Strategies to discover significance and meaning in each and every work task, both big and small, and why this matters for the overall health of your company.Website: https://www.fdleadership.com/Email: contact@fdleadership.comCONNECT WITH THE HOST OF AUTHENTIC TALKS 2.0WWW.AUTHENTICTALKS2.COMAMAZON:BOOK AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDERhttps://www.amazon.com/Jamm-Journey-Your-Higher-Self-ebook/dp/B09VKBRVM5/ref=sr_1_2?crid=RDHQE5ZHP38N&keywords=jamm+with+me+a+journey+to+your+higher+self&qid=1657698187&sprefix=%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-2Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/authentic-talks-2-0-with-shanta--4116672/support.
