Episode 23 | Serious personal lows to a motivational speaker and encouraging your team to flourish - Taz Thornton

A very exciting and energetic discussion with Taz - an award winning coach trainer and motivational speaker, likened to Tony Robbins but with pink hair!

 

Taz shares with us her very personal story of working in a corporate job at a young age and unfortunately being very unhappy, feeling down and struggling with depression, wondering is this what it's all about? It was around this time when Taz found solace in helping others who were feeling the same and helping them get through tough times and ultimately helped her out of her own situation. Taz goes into more details around this and if you're in need of an uplifting story - have a listen...

 

We talk about Taz's views on leadership and Taz strongly believes that the role of leading teams needs to change. From encouraging leaders to allow employees to use social media for positive purposes such as talking positively about their employers and also empowering teams to have an opinion, all of this is underpinned by truly getting to know your employees and understand their primary motivating factors. A very useful and insightful listen for anyone working with others in their team!

Big thank you to Taz for sharing your story and your views on leadership - enjoy everyone!
