In today\\u2019s episode, I chat with Rob Salafia. What happens when you combine a successful career in the performing arts with over 2 decades as a top leadership development executive?\\xa0

You get Rob, who early in his career, travelled the globe as a performing artist offering his one person show in theatres, festivals and select street venues. He used storytelling, tap dancing, comic characters and wire waking to engage and delight audiences. Fifteen years later, he earned a Master's degree in business while working full time at Boston University, and transitioned into corporate learning.\\xa0

He now runs his own company - Protagonist Consulting Group - and is a lecturer and executive coach at the MIT Sloan School of Management.

In the discussion, Rob & I cover a lot of fertile ground, beginning with his background & experiences in the performing arts. And now as an executive coach. We chat about society\\u2019s broader shift to virtual & Rob shares how he helps leaders develop their executive presence, authenticity and storytelling skills through transformational learning experiences.\\xa0

It was such a pleasure connecting with Rob. And I hope you enjoy it.
