Are leaders born or made? In this episode of Chatter That Matters, host Tony Chapman chats with global leadership guru Steve Tappin about his work developing leaders and why our biggest and smallest problems can be solved with leadership.

These are challenging times for individuals, organizations and our planet as we come to terms with an increasingly complex world. Steve Tappin, one of the world’s authorities on leadership and emotional intelligence, shares his belief on why exceptional leadership is needed to solve our problems and advance our society.



In his discussion, he reveals that he credits his path in life to his parents, who provided him with the coaching and confidence he needed to reach his life’s ambitions. He also opens up about his addiction to work, how it almost cost him his life in his thirties and the events that led him to reset his priorities and focus on what matters most.

During this time of self-reflection, Tappin co-wrote the ground-breaking book The Awareness Code. He talks about how anyone can transform who they are & what they can contribute in life by becoming more self-aware, working to overcome their weaknesses and building up their strengths.

Tony Chapman created the Chatter That Matters podcast to counter the storm of negativity and impossibility with true stories of ordinary people who do extraordinary things. He chats with Olympians, Advocates, Celebrities, Leaders, and people who battled what seemed like insurmountable odds.

In doing, listeners hear life lessons that inspire all of us to do more and to be more, to help us get to where we need, want and deserve to go. RBC is the presenting sponsor.
