Leadership with Deke Copenhaver

Leadership with Deke Copenhaver

On episode 62 Klaas chats with Deke Copenhaver, former mayor of Augusta, Georgia, as he shares valuable lessons he’s learned from his time in office.

Show Notes:

  • Don’t let your decisions be driven by local minority opinions
  • How to focus on the positive contributions you’re making in your business and life and tune out the negative naysayers.
  • How to relinquish control over aspects of your business to allow for more productivity 
  • Going against the status quo
  • Stepping outside of the norm and finding your own vision in which to live
  • Engaging and passing the baton to the next generation of leaders

Bio: Since the age of four, Deke has called Augusta, Georgia, his home. In the mid-2000s, as tensions mounted among political parties, Deke was called to take on the challenge to represent the needs of the people of Augusta. In 2005, at the age of 37, Deke ran for mayor in Augusta and won. As the city’s politics were broken, Deke worked for the next nine years as a changemaker for the city of Augusta by challenging the status quo and working in the face of adversity for a better future. He is currently a best-selling author and consultant who inspires others to embrace adversity and become true changemakers.
