THE THOUGHTFUL ENTREPRENEUR PODCAST

1358 – Opening Yourself to Learning with Reiner Lomb

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the CEO, Executive Coach and Author of BoomerangCoach, Reiner Lomb.

BoomerangCoach focuses on leadership development, innovation, and transformational change in organizations, companies, and from start-ups to big corporations. They help leaders grow, increase their impact, articulate a future, and guide them in pursuing it. Reiner is a veteran in his field, with two decades of working and developing start-ups into multi-dollar companies. He teaches leaders to break the wall of learning and take them to the next level of development in their leadership. 

When talking about trends in leadership, he mentioned that emotional-based leadership competencies are more critical than ever. However, since this skill is not taught in school, people have to be willing to learn in the emotional space, and when they do, it's an excellent investment. Leaders immersing in this type of learning will allow them to move forward from emotions of the past and pivot them to be visionary leaders.
