The Key to the Door: Simon Hartley on Becoming a Global Thought Leader (MDE608)

I sit down with Simon Hartley, a sports psychologist turned human psychology expert. We explore the crossover between sports and business psychology, discussing motivation, focus, and the pursuit of excellence. Simon shares insights from his latest book, "Key to the Door," where he analyzes global thought leaders' success. We delve into the nuances of purpose, enjoyment, and authenticity in achieving widespread impact. Simon challenges conventional wisdom on motivation, offering a multifaceted approach he calls "pear-shaped motivation." Our conversation touches on the delicate balance between ambition and authenticity, and the journey from personal truth to universal truths in thought leadership.
