Have you ever tied your worth to your performance at work? Eric Himes spent 19 years chasing corporate success before burnout forced him to rebuild his identity and his leadership from the ground up. Hear what changed and what you can apply starting Monday.
You give everything to your career, then wonder why success feels empty. Eric Himes climbed the corporate ladder for nearly two decades, flew over 120 flights a year, and hit burnout before he found a different way to lead. This episode shows you how to build faith into your work without losing your drive.
In this Episode, learn:
- Eric describes 19 years in corporate life, 1,500 flights, and 150 to 200 nights away from home each year, before his personal life fell apart.
- He explains how surrendering to Christ at age 39 changed his identity and freed him from tying his worth to performance.
- Eric outlines the Inspired Culture framework, built to measure and grow a team’s mindset weekly instead of relying on annual reviews.
- He names three common leadership masks, the silent sufferer, the self-reliant leader, and the workaholic, and the cost each one carries.
- Eric shares a client story where a leader and his wife lost over 130 pounds combined, and his branch grew to the top customer service rank in the world.
