   Manager vs. Leader: How to Lead Beyond Your Job Title

   What kind of leader are you becoming through your everyday choices? Scott Montgomery and Linda Misegadis close out the How You Go There workbook series by exploring the connection between management, leadership, and personal growth. Through Scott’s story of being disqualified during a 70.3 Ironman race, they discuss how an unexpected setback can become an opportunity to lead with intention—and why your example matters far beyond the workplace. The conversation also explores the workbook’s Manager vs. Leader exercise, identifying your top three leadership elements, and developing the emotional intelligence skills that help you build trust and support others. Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, or working on your own growth, this episode invites you to consider how your habits, communication, and values shape the example you set.

   Leadership Before the Title: Why Self-Awareness Comes First

   Leadership is not reserved for a title, a corner office, or one part of your life. It begins with the way you understand and lead yourself.In this episode, Scott Montgomery and Linda Misegadis unpack leadership as influence, vision, behavior, and practice. They explore the balance between IQ and EQ, the role of self-awareness in changing old patterns, and the way leadership carries into work, relationships, family life, and major transitions.They also examine authentic leadership and a deeper version of accountability: not simply saying, “I made a mistake,” but asking what you will notice, own, and change next time.Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/YcXB2G62B6gExplore the How You Go There framework, workshops, coaching, and resources: https://www.howyougothere.com 00:00 - Welcome and cooking up a leadership conversation 00:58 - Why leadership matters right now 01:36 - Leadership as influence, vision, and shared goals 02:41 - Balancing IQ and EQ 03:57 - Self-awareness inside the HYGT framework 05:25 - Leadership begins before the title 06:53 - Leadership as a behavior and practice 07:12 - Applying leadership at home 07:57 - Stress, work, relationships, and identity 09:35 - Transitions and avoiding old patterns 10:26 - Sponsor break 11:17 - Awareness and transformation 11:47 - Leadership beyond the workplace 12:44 - Self-leadership, boundaries, and authenticity 13:45 - Leadership across career stages and family life 14:48 - Your personal example as a leadership tool 15:17 - Three listener takeaways 16:19 - Accountability beyond admitting a mistake 16:45 - Conviction, disagreement, and recognizing results 17:03 - Books, workshops, and coaching resources 17:46 - Closing thoughts

   Self-Care as a Leadership Strategy: How to Sustain Peak Performance

   Self-care is not a reward you earn after everything else is finished. It is part of the framework that helps you keep showing up for the people, work, and goals that matter.In this episode, Scott Montgomery and Linda Misegadis move beyond the one-time, social-media version of self-care and explore six practical dimensions: personal, spiritual, physical, behavioral, emotional, and professional. They talk about preparing for demanding seasons, making healthy practices non-negotiable, protecting your energy through boundaries, asking for support, and recognizing that sustainable growth rarely comes from a complete life overhaul.The takeaway is simple: start where you are. Notice which dimension needs attention, then choose one small action that helps you move forward with intention.Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Xbvs65JhpM0Explore the How You Go There framework and resources: https://www.howyougothere.com 00:00 - Welcome and why sustainable growth matters 01:16 - What self-care really means 03:17 - When exhaustion becomes a badge of honor 04:26 - Habits, fitness, and peak performance 06:14 - Preparing for demanding seasons 08:05 - The six dimensions of self-care 08:31 - Personal self-care 10:23 - Making time through habits and goals 12:22 - Sponsor break 13:17 - Spiritual self-care and purpose 15:56 - Physical self-care 18:22 - How the HYGT framework fits together 19:24 - Behavioral self-care: boundaries and routines 21:09 - Emotional self-care and managing your response 23:05 - Why top performers ask for support 24:59 - Self-care in family life 27:20 - The myth of perfect work-life balance 29:32 - Professional self-care 30:08 - Three practical takeaways 31:51 - Start where you are
