Let’s Talk Leading Yourself First with Ian Hatton
Why do so many traditional leadership models leave us feeling drained, disconnected, and burnt out? In this episode of Let’s Talk Small Business , host Mitchell Wilson sits down with Ian Hatton—international keynote speaker, leadership mentor, and founder of Totally Morpheus . Ian gets real about his transition from corporate IT at Microsoft to becoming a global advocate for conscious leadership, sharing the pivotal moment his team’s trust score plunged by 50% when he tried to lead like someone else. Together, Mitchell and Ian dissect the difference between management and strategic leadership, the vital role of emotional intelligence (EQ) over IQ, and how self-awareness transforms team dynamics. Plus, Ian breaks down his EG3 Leadership Assessment—categorizing leaders into Survivors, Strivers, and Thrivers—and reveals why making yourself your "#1 job every day" is the least selfish thing a business owner can do.
