The Lightning Round and Mark Bentz, Eh! - E88

July 15, 2023

It’s the LIGHTNING ROUND!!!!

Every guest is asked five fun and insightful leadership-related questions, offering an insight into themselves and how they perceive leadership today and into the future.

Imposter syndrome, perseverance, the self-imposed push to rush, perseverance, and resilience.... these are just a few of the many challenges we face while we are trying to work through organizational goals, all the while continuing to manage our teams and our projects.

The thing is, in the moment, we often didn’t realize the value and learning of challenges we were experiencing, much less take the time to reflect and appreciate all of the things we had on our radar, and how they have shaped us.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Mark Bentz, a fellow Canadian, a business owner, Paralympian athlete and renowned speaker. Mark will offer his story, relating how his personal journey has shaped him both personally and professionally. Mark will also explain how he has learned to use what used to be on his radar to help him understand what’s on the scope right now.
