In leadership, everyone talks about high performance. Fewer people talk honestly about what it actually costs.

In this Success Leaves Clues episode of Empowering Leaders, Luke brings together a powerful mix of coaches, athletes and leaders who all start in the same place: self leadership. From the NFL to elite netball, from politics to BMX gold, they talk about managing energy, filling your own cup, and knowing who you are before you try to lead anyone else.

You’ll hear about meditation, vitamins and morning routines, but also about boundaries, honesty and the strange balance between being selfish enough to pursue a dream and selfless enough to use it to help others. It’s a reminder that before you lead a team, a family or a country, you have to learn how to lead yourself.
