This week, Lee talks to Paul Serafino, the founder of Accelerated Journey, helping people to amplify their impact and soar to the executive level. Paul discusses why change doesn't take year but only a decision, as well as the power of your network, and how to energise and positively impact your own business journey. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quality connections are worth far more than a myriad connections. By focussing on the ones that matter, we strengthen our network instead of diluting it. if we hope to make real impact in the world, we can't just sit and wait for it to occur. We have to go out there and find it. We have to take control. If we enable others to do better through effective leadership, then we should be allowing them into our way of thinking without making them feel as though they are not in control. Being a leader is not about changing people. It is about empowering them to do better as part of your team. This requires internal work first. BEST MOMENTS 'It's not about quantity - it's about quality' 'I connected with people and learned as much as I could' 'It's amazing what people want. They want to lead all kinds of amazing things. They want to change the world' 'Perception is huge' VALUABLE RESOURCES Business Problems Solved Podcast        Paul Serafino - https://paulserafino.com Paul Serafino LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/pserafino/ ABOUT THE HOST For the last 15 years, I have been a multi-sector internal or external business improvement consultant, building the improved capability of individuals, teams and businesses.
