David Desharnais On Driving Your Company from Stagnation to Breakout Growth

Make BIG Happen podcast with Mark Moses

Show Notes

Guest: David Desharnais, a coach at CEO Coaching International. David  is a high-impact technology CEO and enterprise operator with over 25 years of experience leading organizations through scale, transformation, and value creation across more than 20 industries. Quick Background:   Companies don't stall because their industries are stalling, or because of tariffs, or because of AI. They slow down because the CEO doesn't have a plan to maintain growth through the good and the bad. When your dashboards start blinking red, you need to find ways to plug your company into a broader ecosystem of customers, products, and partnerships that can recalibrate your business' trajectory, no matter what's going on in the rest of the world. On today's show, David Desharnais discusses how CEOs can break out of stagnation and accelerate their growth, as well as how to build a Jim Collins-style flywheel that will keep propelling your company towards BIG.
