Jim Knight | Live & Lead a Life That Rocks

Rockstars. Teams love ‘em…Businesses love ‘em…Communities love ‘em.

So what’s it take to consistently be the rockstar you know you are? Better yet, what’s it take to lead like one?

I lean into those questions with former longtime Hard Rock International Exec, Jim Knight, on today’s episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show.

Jim is an award-winning training and development expert, culture catalyst, 3x best-selling author, podcaster, and a Top 10 Keynote Speaker in the U.S. I’d say he knows a thing or two about building rock star teams and organizations.

In this latest episode, Jim and I talk about… 

• How Jim went from Middle School teacher to one of the top executives in the world
• Jim’s recommendation for bringing the energy as both leaders and individuals
• What the emotional bank account is and how we can make more deposits into it 

…and so much more.

If you want your life and leadership to earn rockstar status, then lock in to today’s episode.
