Glenn speaks from experience

By all measures, Glenn was a shining example of "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps." He believed success was the solution to overcoming significant childhood trauma. He built a 30-year career in the HVAC industry, achieving leadership roles in sales, business development, and community-focused positions.

But outward success came at the expense of his own well-being. While he appeared to be a model employee, perfectionism and people-pleasing were fueling resentment, workaholism and burnout. His weight ballooned to over 300 lbs. Medical issues and relationship problems started mounting. Glenn shares what it took to transform his life - and how your organizaiton can face adversity with a positive perspective.
