Welcome back to another episode of The Knowing Self Knowing Others Podcast! In today's episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with the insightful and experienced Ian Hatton.
Ian started his career in mainframe computer operations before moving into networking. He quickly rose to a management position and was involved in various rollouts. However, it was the people side of the job that truly interested him. This led Ian to transition into technical marketing, where he excelled. He eventually became a Microsoft product manager and spent the last five years of his IT career at Microsoft South Africa as the group product marketing manager. During this time, he conducted numerous product launches, delivered keynote speeches, and trained and motivated others. Ian's focus gradually shifted towards working with people, which led him to decide to pursue a career in leadership development.
Ian takes us on a journey through the phases of growth in organizations and the importance of understanding the market dynamics. He shares how leadership roles evolve as industries mature and emphasizes the significance of leading people, rather than just managing tasks or industry. Ian also delves into the fascinating connection between the body and the brain, drawing upon his reading of Bruce Lipton's "The Biology of Belief."
Join us as we explore the concept of self-leadership and Nia's three-layer definition of self-awareness. We discuss the role of self-awareness in effective leadership and how it can transform relationships in both personal and professional contexts. We also learn about the power of personal experiences and crises in initiating a path of self-improvement.
