I just got back from a family trip to Hawaii with my mom and two brothers. It was the first time in sixteen years that we’ve taken a trip together. No partners, no kids, just us four. The last time we traveled to this same place was right after my father, Norm Yellin, passed away.This time felt different. We had space to slow down, to sit together without distractions, and to talk. In those quiet, honest conversations, we found ourselves reflecting on my dad, on who he was, how he led, and what we learned from watching him live and work.In this episode, I share the three biggest leadership lessons my father taught me about legacy, integrity, humor, and the danger of working so hard that you forget to live. It’s a reminder that leadership isn’t just about what you build, but about how you show up while you’re building it.In this episode, we discuss:Building a leadership legacy that lasts beyond your titleWhy consistency in your values is the foundation of influenceHow humor and joy can sustain great leadershipThe hidden cost of overworking and burnoutFinding balance between ambition and healthWhat it really means to lead with purpose and integrity☕ Subscribe to my weekly reflections on leadership and life: https://yellingroundsforgrowth.myflodesk.com/groundsforgrowth
