The Power of Your Worldview

How you show up in the world and your strength as a leader has a deep connection to the strength of your worldview. On your path to sheer clarity, with self-reflection and by asking the right questions, you’ll develop your personal theory of the world which helps to guide you on the journey to becoming the consummate leader by attraction.

Many people get caught up being busy making a name for themselves, building their career and paying their bills and overlook the value of being introspective. But having a strong conviction in your worldview is the bedrock for creating long-term success. So, what is a worldview and what questions should you be asking yourself to get clarity around it? And how does your worldview factor into the type of leader you are?

On this episode, Mathew and I explore why you need to get clear on your worldview, how to approach questions of mortality and the meaning of life from a non-religious perspective, the essential questions for you to ponder so you can determine what your worldview is, why belief in a higher power can be empowering, and so much more!
