Dr John Demartini on Leadership, Motivation and the Science Behind Distraction

The People Leaders Podcast

Leadership is grounded in understanding human behaviour, and few people understand human behaviour quite like the tireless Dr John Demartini.
With 40 books under his belt and another ten on the way, Dr Demartini has studied human behaviour through the lens of almost all the great philosophers and teachers to come up with a contemporary approach that has helped thousands of people around the world.
We spoke with Dr Demartini on the People Leaders Podcast and explored leadership, motivation, the science of distraction and much more. If you don’t have Dr Demartini as a leadership resource yet, you’re in for a treat. And if you’ve already come across Dr Demartini before, then you know already that this is a must listen interview.
