Restored Leader
Most leaders work hard on what they do. Fewer stop to ask who they're becoming while they do it.
The Restored Leader Podcast helps entrepreneurs and executives redeem the character of their leadership so they can become more authentic, confident, and joyful in every role they play.
Hosted by leadership coach Darren Ho, founder of The Restored Leader, each episode is an honest conversation, not a lecture. Darren coaches in real time through the questions leaders carry at Work, at Home, and in Community. What's it like being me right now? What kind of leader do I want to become? What can't I compromise? How do I actually rest?
You'll hear real stories, practices from The Restored Leader's coaching process, and one small next step you can take on your own after every episode.
If you're winning at work but quietly wondering about the leader you're becoming, pull up a chair.

How To Define Your Leadership Character
Episode 2
Show notes
Getting better as a leader usually sends us chasing tactics. Another book, another course, another framework. In this opening conversation, Darren Ho of The Restored Leader makes the case that growth starts one layer down, with the character underneath the title, and with a question most leaders have never actually answered.
KEYTAKEAWAYS
⚡️Why "who do you want to become" is the real starting point for leadership growth

⚡️Why who you are matters far more than the tactics you add on topTIMESTAMPS
