FranklinCovey On Leadership · 2026-06-16 · 45 min
What if the biggest barrier to your goals lives inside your own head? In this episode, Dr. Henry Cloud - renowned clinical psychologist, executive coach, bestselling author, and co-founder of a large healthcare organization - joins Jennifer Colosimo to unpack the ideas behind his new book, Your Desired Future: The 5 Essential Steps That Take You Where You Want to Go. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and years working in the “war rooms” with CEOs and executive teams, Henry explains why effort alone rarely closes the gap between vision and execution. He introduces a simple but powerful model, inspired by how the human body moves from “here” to “there,” to help leaders clarify the future they want, recruit the right talent, and design strategies that actually work. Along the way, he explores how self-doubt, unexamined assumptions, and missing structural elements quietly stall progress - and what you can do to consistently create the results you intend. FranklinCovey’s world-class learning solutions - delivered Live-Online, On Demand, or Live In-Person - are designed to build exceptional leadership skills and enrich your culture at every level of your organization.
