Howdy, Ags! Today, we are talking to a Leadership & Success Coach and the Founder of Tribe and Purpose, Otis McGregor! In this episode, Otis shares the milestones of going from military to joining corporate to finally finding his life’s purpose. He talks about the struggles that made it hard and the things that made it all happen, and we’re excited to hear about it!
From Military to Coaching
Corporations are greatly beholden to their stockholders. And that’s just generally how it usually is in most corporations. But because of this, sometimes corporate is also not quick to adapt. This is one of the significant realizations Otis experienced when he left corporate in his post-military years and decided to found Tribe and Purpose. As someone who came from the military, an institution that runs on orders, Otis also experienced a significant change of environment upon becoming an entrepreneur. As the founder of his own coaching organization, for the first time, Otis can finally say—“no!” Otis welcomed this kind of change with wide arms as the man behind his own cause and purpose. As an entrepreneur, he can now reclaim the power to say “no” to anything that doesn’t align with his values.
About Otis McGregor:
Otis’ purpose is to create a legacy of leaders who create great organizations. Because he believes that great organizations create great communities and, with great communities, around the world, we will create a better world.
He leads Tribe and Purpose with his son Camden. This unique combination allows them to blend their experiences and perspectives to be the guide for their clients to fulfill their purpose. Their values drive their purpose to help others discover and pursue their purpose in life.
