In this episode it is my pleasure to speak with and introduce to you Joe Cohen. Joe provides human capital consulting and leadership coaching. He has worked with leaders at various companies, including Microsoft, Boeing, Navy Seals, AT&T, Deloitte, Wells Fargo, All State, Ulta Beauty, Paul Weiss LLP, Fidelity and Google. As a leadership coach, Joe draws upon over a decade of training in various leadership development and personal growth strategies, including seminars with Tony Robbins and Landmark as well as coursework in Internal Family Systems and Conflict Resolution and Mediation. Joe received his coaching certification from the International Coaching Federation and a J.D. from Hofstra School of Law. He has spoken on emotional intelligence and leadership development in a variety of forums, including as an instructor for the World Coaching Institute and as a guest lecturer at Touro University. Joe had a rough childhood and talks about how he was able to deal with the pain that came with that rough upbringing, and then shares a story of when things began to turn around for him, taking the things he had learned from his past and building upon them instead of blaming his failures on those experiences and excusing himself from coming out on top.

“One of the things I learned when I was in Beit T'Shuvah was, I read a phrase by King Solomon, and it said, ‘This too shall pass.’ Also the idea that ‘Gam zu L’tova,’ this too is for the best. So I looked at all these situations as I made meaning out of it.” 29:11
