It\u2019s not the magical ability to never fail or meticulous planning skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, it\u2019s a lot deeper than that. It\u2019s a power you draw on from deep within yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week Scott Ackerman joins the podcast and he shares from his own personal experience what he believes separates the good from the great- faith, hope, and charisma. A truly great leader will show hope and faith in their team, cultivating a confidence that will enable their team to succeed. And while he warns about the dangers of blind hope, Scott also echoes my sentiments about what separates hope from optimism- taking action and continual motivation to reach your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you are a leader in a personal or professional setting, tune in to hear Scott\u2019s expertise on hope, confidence, reflection, and strength in leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/anchor.fm\/hope-motivates-action\/embed\/episodes\/S05--05---Contagious-Confidence-with-Scott-Ackerman-er02g8\" height=\"102px\" width=\"400px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>About Scott:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott Ackerman is a Strategic Advisor and Executive Coach, currently serving on several for-profit and non-profit advisory boards.
