What We Discuss In This Episode:
In this episode, I had the privilege of hosting a candid conversation with John Highham, a seasoned leader and general manager at Ed Boyles Hyundai and Kia in Marietta, Georgia. John's journey is one of resilience, faith, and personal growth, which we delve into throughout our discussion. From his humble beginnings in a suburb outside Flint, Michigan, to his military service in the Navy, John's story is marked by a relentless pursuit of excellence despite facing numerous challenges.
One key aspect we explore is the transformative power of leadership coaching and mentorship. John shares how participating in mastermind groups and one-on-one coaching sessions, particularly with figures like Drew Tutton, the CEO of the Tutton Group, profoundly impacted his leadership approach and personal life. These experiences not only helped him grow as a leader but also fostered a deeper understanding of the importance of faith, family, and community in his journey.
A central theme of our conversation revolves around the intersection of personal and professional growth. John candidly discusses how compartmentalizing his life, particularly his role as a leader at work versus his responsibilities at home, led to a disconnect and a lack of fulfillment. Through self-reflection and coaching, he realized the importance of showing up as his best self in all aspects of life, not just professionally.
Furthermore, John's story underscores the significance of embracing failure and learning from setbacks. His willingness to take on challenges, even when others doubted him, highlights the power of resilience and determination. Whether it was pursuing a career in sales despite skepticism or striving to excel in soccer despite being underestimated, John's journey exemplifies the value of perseverance and self-belief.
Overall, our conversation with John Highham offers valuable insights into leadership, personal growth, and the importance of authenticity in both professional and personal spheres. His story serves as a testament to the transformative impact of coaching, mentorship, and a willingness to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.
