Hitting The Ceiling

by EOS Worldwide

Most entrepreneurs will tell you about the pivot, Hitting The Ceiling™ will tell you what happened the night before. Hitting The Ceiling, brought to you by EOS Worldwide is the perfect podcast for businesses, entrepreneurs, and key leaders and managers to talk about the moments they’ve never said out loud. Hitting the Ceiling is where business leaders and entrepreneurs talk about the moments they’ve never said out loud that often keep them from growing their businesses in healthy ways. These stories often happen behind closed doors, in the quiet, when the business was surviving, but the entrepreneur wondered if they were burning out. The cashflow ran out. The team walked. The personal life fell apart while the company kept going. Everyone hits a ceiling. On this show, host Mark O’Donnell helps guests identify the Five Leadership Disciplines that help leaders break through those seasons to realize the business and entrepreneurial success they were made for.
