The Unique Genius Superheroes Interview Series is about ordinary people who have created businesses they love around their purpose.
Everyone has a purpose (or “calling”), and there are always ways to turn your purpose, any purpose, into a business you love. It’s easier to live your purpose daily when you do it for work!
Chip Conley is the founder & CEO of Joie de Vivre, the largest boutique hotel group in California. He’s also the bestselling author of “Peak: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo From Maslow”. His latest book, just released, is titled Emotional Equations.
One of the many things that I admire about Chip Conley is how he created a corporate culture of success at Joie de Vivre by focusing on his employees, and helping them find their own meaning at work. Chip believes that the success of a company depends highly on the emotional well being of the employees.
A Quick Video Introduction
And In The Full Audio Interview…
…which you can listen to or download below, here’s some points we covered:
- sometimes the skills you learn during the hardest times in life are there to serve you later
- the “trappings” of success can be just that – a trap
- why labeling your emotions is so powerful
- anxiety = uncertainty x powerlessness (and his great “anxiety balance sheet” technique)
- if you created a pie chart of your self-esteem and confidence, how much would come from non-work areas of your life?
- does this question scare you, like it did Chip: “do you know what it feels like to just sit still for ten minutes doing nothing?”
- are you using work as a drug? running from your family, numbing yourself to life, or searching for approval?
- if you’re a depressed CEO, how do you inspire your employees while remaining authentic and not fake?
