Welcome back to the Purpose Summit series on Stories from the River! In the sixth part of the series, host Charlie Malouf welcomes Dwight Eberts as a guest. Dwight, who works in the same building as Davin and has attended four Purpose Summits, sat down for a podcast interview before he was scheduled to lead a breakout session titled "Breaking Boundaries."
In this episode, Dwight shares his background, revealing that he met Davin at church during a mission trip to Guatemala, which led to their friendship and professional relationship. He discusses his early career in the Detroit area, where he co-founded an insurance marketing organization. Dwight elaborates on the challenges of managing rapid business growth and learning to lead effectively without prior experience, which led him to seek a business coach.
Dwight's journey into coaching began after realizing the negative impact his demanding career was having on his family life. His coach, whom he humorously refers to as a life coach, helped him prioritize and balance his personal and professional life. This transformative experience motivated Dwight to embrace leadership and eventually pursue coaching for his own career. He realized that he loved walking alongside other people.
Now, Dwight's coaching business focuses on helping individuals identify and overcome areas where they are not reaching their full potential. In his breakout session "Breaking Boundaries," he aims to provide attendees with the tools to develop clear, actionable plans to improve various aspects of their lives.
His focus is to help people get clear, confident, and committed. Getting clear is about understanding your values, your priorities, and evaluating your time. Getting confident refers to the mind. Our actions and results are rooted in our thoughts and beliefs. Focusing on a growth mindset, and addressing limiting thoughts and beliefs, can often help us grow and develop. Regarding commitment, that includes understanding our different roles in life, and creating a game plan with accountability. It’s the R, the I, and the S of, the R.I.S.E. acronym.
Dwight's R.I.S.E. acronym stands for:
- Restore Your Vision
- Increase Your Confidence
- Systemize For Success
- Embrace The Journey
