🎙️ Episode 182 – The Inner Game: Mastering Your Mindset Before You Lead Others

In this episode of Success By Design, Tim Madden explores the real foundation of great leadership — not strategy, not skillset… but mindset.

This is the episode that will shift how you see leadership... starting from the inside out.

💭 Inside the episode:

• Why traditional leadership development misses the mark
• The identity trap that keeps seasoned execs feeling stuck
• 5 mindset questions that reveal if you’re leading from conviction or fear
• How to build the internal clarity that makes external influence inevitable

If you're ready to grow into your next level (not just apply for it) this episode will show you where that journey really begins.
