Books. Podcasts. Courses. Certifications. I loved learning, but eventually I had to confront an uncomfortable truth: knowing what to do and doing it are not the same thing. In this episode, I explore the difference between self help and self leadership. One gathers tools. The other uses them. Both have value. But only one creates meaningful change.
