GUEST: SHAUN McCLOSKEY
Our special guest today is Shaun McCloskey, who also happens to be the keynote speaker at NoteExpo 2021 coming up the first weekend in November. Shaun is the founder of Leadership Boardroom, which many consider to be the best personal and business improvement environment available.
People call him the “coach’s coach.” He specializes not just in achieving business success, but also in balancing that with personal success so that you’re pursuing the goals that are perfect for your unique talents and passions.
As much as we’re focused on building wealth at NoteSchool, we also realize that money doesn’t buy happiness. We’re the first to encourage all our students to achieve balance between their personal goals and their business goals. That’s why our special guest for today’s NSTV episode is Shaun McCloskey, founder of Leadership Boardroom.
Shaun has mentored many extremely successful business professionals who achieved their business goals by working 70 to 80 hours a week only to realize that it didn’t make them happy like they expected. Shaun coaches business leaders from a wide range of professions. He meets part of the time in small group mastermind settings, and the rest of the time one on one. He helps them clarify their goals in their personal lives and for their business endeavors. He stresses that reaching your personal goals are every bit as important as reaching your business goals.
In today’s episode, Shaun is joined by Eddie Speed, Joe Varnadore, and Brian Lauchner—all of whom have been personally coached and mentored by Shaun through Leadership Boardroom. All three of these NoteSchool leaders testify how Shaun has helped them clarify and achieve their personal and business goals, while helping them stay focused and undistracted in their pursuits. It also made them better communicators.
Shaun will also be the keynote speaker at the upcoming NoteExpo in Grapevine, Texas during the first weekend of November. (So buy your tickets quick!) Shaun also gives a micro-preview of what he will be discussing in his presentation.
