Born “cold, wet, bald and hungry… and then things got worse,” Ian’s journey took him from a tough family upbringing to leading a $200 million sales team by age 28 - and losing it all a year later. Rebuilding himself from the inside out, Ian unlocked the power of mindset + purpose, becoming one of Australia’s most sought-after speakers and trainers in sales + leadership development.   Ian unpacks how early family conflict, two marriage breakups, and a search for self-understanding led him to his life’s work: helping others transform pressure into performance. Ian reveals how emotional intelligence, blended with behavioural strategies, can transform communication and strengthen relationships. A raw, wise + unexpectedly funny exploration of the inner game behind outer success. Keep track of new stories at https://conflictstories.com . Hosted on Acast.
