095: Life Skills for the Soccer Field and the Boardroom
What does it take for leaders to deal successfully with a crisis like COVID-19? My guest Kon Apostolopoulos literally wrote the book on how to do that! Kon co-authored and published in 2020 7 Keys to Navigating a Crisis: A Practical Guide for Emotionally Dealing with Pandemics & Other Disasters, to provide a clear roadmap. The material is a valuable reference whenever you’re experiencing a difficult situation.
Kon is the Founder and CEO of Fresh Biz Solutions, a Human Capital Management consulting group that provides performance improvement and training solutions. He helps organizations develop their people, improve business results, and reap the benefits of a comprehensive Talent Management strategy. He’s also committed to developing future leaders by applying the same principles to the coaching of young soccer players in local, state and Olympic development programs.
You’ll discover:
- The 7 keys that can help you navigate through any crisis
- How leaders can use these keys with their teams to improve performance and achieve the desired results
- The Leadership Paradox – how to take seemingly contradictory items and blend them successfully (e.g., empathy and tough love)
- What Kon does to teach these concepts to the youth athletes he coaches
