010 Daniel Fitzhenry - I made a commitment

Welcome to episode 10 of the Fail Forward podcast.    In this episode, I’m talking toDaniel Fitzhenry, Conservative Leader of Southampton City Council. Over the next forty minutes, you’ll hear first-hand Daniel’s journey so far, what’s gone wrong and how he bounced back to use his experience to be a driving force for change across the city of Southampton    During the interview, I’ve asked Daniel searching questions about what it means to be successful and how to recover when things go wrong. We examine the conditioning we are all exposed to that affect our thought patterns and the impact that happens when you challenge thosed conditioned beliefs.    Throughout this episode, Daniel is open about his successes, how a life in politics has meant having to overcome the fear of public scrutiny of his failures.    You’ll learn about his journey from his early years selling fruit and veg on his grandparents market stall to the ambitious political leader he is today.    Daniel’s story shines a light on the importance of understanding yourself, understanding what drives and motivates others, staying true to your values even if  things look impossible, and why asking for help is never a sign of weakness.    As the leader of Southampton City Council, Daniel is spearheading a campaign to “Get Southampton Moving” aiming high for the city that’s been his lifelong home and he shares how combining his political and business experiences enables him to lead a team of visonaries with the power to change the shape of Southampton.    Join me for a fascinating 40 minutes that will leave you with two key pieces of advice if you’re wondering how to move on when things have gone wrong and reassured that if you believe and commit before you know how, the rest will come.    If you enjoy listening to Daniel’s story, you can connect with him on LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.
