The Miracle Family Playbook: Collaborative Leadership and Parenting with Mike McCarthy

<p>Mike McCarthy has been an influential person to many in their growth and development. He helped others realize the depth and meaning that the legacy you leave is literally nothing unless you are actually leading and growing yourself to be a better human in order to show people how to be better humans. When you are on purpose, people look to you. They watch you. When you look at Mike, you know that he's committed and his integrity is so strong to his personal growth. What’s more amazing is how he has taken this to the next level and helped not just individuals, but entire families to the same.<br> <br> Mike found that one of the most important things that we can do in order to be really effective and really realize our full potential is to actually focus on our self first. It actually helps us become a more effective leader in the world and to our families.<br> <br> If you've never heard these two words together—collaborative leadership—chances are you're going to love to hear about it now.
