During the course of the interview, the renowned mental health counselor and business and executive leadership consultant revealed some fascinating insights, ideas, and opinions.
ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 14, 2023 / When licensed mental health counselor, entrepreneur, and acclaimed business and executive leadership consultant David Baker-Hargrove (ve/ver/vers) was approached about becoming the featured subject in a new professional profile, ve agreed readily, eager to share ver wisdom with the public. The profile, which was conducted by the writing staff of an online periodical that concentrates on matters relating to business, technology, and thought leadership, was published on March 3, 2023.
At the outset of the profile, David explains the catalyst for creating ver new consultancy, a practice which ve operates jointly with ver husband Robert. "The inspiration came to us when we recognized the power of having a good reputation and a solid track record for our innovations in revitalizing stagnated businesses. That realization inspired the notion that we would do exceptionally well in a consultant space," ve remarks, elaborating, "My research uncovered many opportunities to produce powerful messaging content around leadership development, leadership education, and business building spaces. These are all areas in which we excel."
Later in the interview, David Baker-Hargrove fields a question about how ve measures success, delivering a thoughtful and nuanced answer. "Sometimes it can be difficult to evaluate your own progress when it comes to success. I once saw a Harvard researcher give a lecture on the topic. One thing he talked about is, when human beings set a happiness goal, right before we reach it, we tend to already set another goal beyond that. So, by the time we reach the first goal, it is no longer as relevant to us because we are already looking forward to the next one. I believe that observation is very true for anyone who is an overachiever, a leader, or an entrepreneur. We keep setting one goal, then another, and another. As a therapist, I always try to remind my clients (and myself) to benchmark, acknowledge, and celebrate their successes. It's too easy to overlook them in favor of charging ahead and pursuing the next goal."
