Conversations with creative leaders about finding presence while pursuing big dreams.
William B. Henry is a founder, leadership coach, author, and speaker.
In this episode, William shares his journey of spending 2 decades building a successful career in blood banking to later discovering his purpose and walking away from it all.
Along the way, he realized something many high performers eventually face: success on paper doesn’t always mean fulfillment. He talks about his journey of rediscovering his purpose by helping people unlock their potential, think differently about success, and take meaningful steps toward the lives they’re meant to live.
