From Adversity to Advantage with John Register

The Better Leadership Team Show

In this episode of the Better Leadership Team Show, I sit down with John Register, a decorated Persian Gulf war veteran, Paralympic silver medalist, and a true leader in turning adversity into an advantage. John shares his remarkable journey from experiencing a life-changing accident to becoming a global influencer and leadership coach. We explore his 'Amputate to Elevate' model, diving into how it can be applied to both personal and professional transformations. Together, we discuss the importance of trust in leadership, the process of overcoming significant life changes, and strategies for leading teams through challenging transitions. Whether you're facing a personal setback or leading a team through change, John's insights will empower you to turn obstacles into opportunities for growth. Join me in this powerful conversation on resilience, leadership, and the art of navigating life's biggest challenges.
