Corporate leader, Brian Standage talks frankly about men’s challenges with being congruent with values.

Business and Bliss

We have an INCREDIBLE episode for you today!! Our guest, Brian Standage, is a husband and father to 5 boys that are his greatest accomplishment and joy in life. He has held progressive roles the past 20+ years as Sr. Director, VP and COO with World recognized brands such as Banner Health, Target Corporation, PMI Marketing and FranklinCovey International.

Brian has a BS and MS from Arizona State University, obtained numerous certifications & public speaking opportunities in training/teaching disciplines. He has worked alongside the Founders of FranklinCovey for over a decade, and worked with numerous leaders, entrepreneurs, and athletes during his career such as Bill Phillips, Richard Branson or Bill Romanowski.

Brian shared some very deep, meaningful conversations about the challenges that men face along the “Business + Bliss” journey, about the personal and social pressure to prioritize the importance of accomplishments and titles, even when that is incongruent with what they claim their true values are (e.g. family).

Through a chilling and enlightening example of being challenged to cross an I-beam at the top of two skyscrapers, he helps to demonstrate where values and actions come into alignment when someone is being honest about what their values truly are.

Another point came up in the area of values where Jen talks about her Mastery Retreats and how people don’t realize that the “glass ceiling” they’re hitting is because THEY have beliefs or values that are out of alignment, causing them to rise, rise, rise and then plateau, without ever understanding why.

Brian also shares his standpoint as a leader when asking people, “Are you being a fountain or a drain?” to compel them to evaluate their behavior and its impact on others.
