Confessions of a Kindness Advocate - Season Two Finale!
Help me celebrate 🎉 a few things on the Season 2 Finale of Wednesday with Will LIVE! Podcast
I am going solo this week to wrap up a wonderful run as well as share what I have learned in a year of producing and hosting my own podcast.
Here are the topics I very much want to share with the audience:
1 - The Numbers: 52 weeks on air has flown by with the community built on kindness growing from 8,000 to over 30,000 in this time. I am eager to share the lessons learned with those who may wish to launch their own podcast or start their own business.
2 - The Lesson: This show reinforced the importance of the audience/customer/guest/visitor in my life and made me even more focused on helping the people who help the audience/customer/guest/visitor.
3 - The Mission: Making my case for why the world needs more leaders who lead with kindness and why I became a Kindness Advocate.
This year long experience has forever changed me and the fact that I have been able to host Season Two from my second home of Rio de Janeiro is incredible.
My intention for this episode is to give someone the courage and/or encouragement to go after that thing you know you want to do to become the person you are meant to be.
Dreams do come true when you put in the work!
Keeping it Kind,
Will

Join us on February 8 at 12:00pm EST as we talk about leadership and learn more about his incredible international career.
Bret in his own words:
Elite performers deliver when it matters most - especially under adverse conditions - when most others are unable to get the job done. I have a proven track record building elite performers and teams - using fear as fuel to perform at the highest level under extreme pressure.
For 30 years across 30 countries in the international banking and wealth management space, I’ve run large, complex, high-growth businesses and an array of product lines while serving as Executive Director on subsidiary boards of the largest banks in two countries.
As a country and regional CEO, I have successfully transformed ecosystems, built inclusive and diverse leadership teams, upgraded performance management systems and revamped faltering businesses to generate sustained profitability in both benign and crisis market conditions.
I have grown profitable product lines/teams in complex, multiple regulatory jurisdictions and have extensive experience meeting corporate governance requirements including the build-out of internal risk management detection systems, risk process frameworks and compliance teams.
I have a well-established track record of building highly-engaged, productive teams that deliver world class client experiences with efficient cost bases.
Follow Bret Packard to learn what it takes to perform at the elite level when it matters most.
