We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Giorgio Walton a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Giorgio , really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
I believe my purpose found me rather than me actively seeking it. Following my professional football career, I ventured into mental and behavioral health, specifically working with children facing challenges in the CPS system. One pivotal moment was saving a child struggling with low self-esteem and multiple suicidal attempts. Recognizing my ability to positively influence mindset growth, I received a heartfelt thank-you from that child who, after leaving CPS, overcame negative thoughts. This experience fueled my desire for a more significant impact, leading me to leave my decade-long career and embrace life coaching. I now work with both children and adults, specializing in coaching men and young men to overcome mental barriers and transform into empowered individuals (Alpha Males).
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
In the wake of my professional football career, a profound shift occurred, leading me into the realm of mental and behavioral health. Working with children facing life’s hardships within the CPS system became my calling. One defining moment unfolded when I rescued a child battling low self-esteem and recurrent suicidal thoughts.
The impact of this intervention resonated deeply, revealing my innate ability to cultivate positive transformations in people’s mindsets. A poignant call from that child, expressing gratitude for helping him navigate life post-CPS, reinforced my conviction. He had triumphed over the shadows of negative thoughts.
Motivated to make an even greater difference, I made a courageous decision to leave behind a decade-long career. Embracing life coaching, I extended my reach to both children and adults. Today, my focus lies in coaching men and young men, guiding them to conquer mental barriers and undergo a profound transformation into empowered, alpha individuals. This journey embodies the evolution of purpose, where each step reflects a commitment to empowering others through the resilience of the human spirit.
Amidst my journey, a pivotal chapter unfolded when I joined the remarkable organization, Gice Loves, where the owner became my mentor. This incredible company, specializing in contracting life coaches, became the catalyst for unlocking the full potential of my purpose and mindset.
Immersed in this supportive community, I discovered the tools to propel me further. Empowered by the experiences and wisdom shared within Gice Loves, I found the inspiration to establish my own venture – the Alpha Leadership Empire. At its core, my business is dedicated to nurturing healthy leadership qualities within men.
The mission extends beyond merely distinguishing between a grown male and an alpha male; it involves guiding individuals to overcome personal mindset barriers. Through the Alpha Leadership Empire, I am committed to empowering men, fostering growth, and instilling the qualities that define true leadership. This journey encapsulates the essence of my purpose – a journey from personal growth to uplifting others, a testament to the transformative power of mentorship and self-discovery.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Reflecting on my journey, three impactful qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge were resilience, mentorship, and a deep understanding of mindset dynamics.
1. Resilience: The ability to bounce back from setbacks and challenges played a crucial role. In the face of uncertainties and transitions, resilience kept me focused on my purpose.
Advice: Cultivate resilience by embracing challenges as opportunities for growth. View setbacks not as failures, but as stepping stones toward your ultimate goals.
2. Mentorship: Having a mentor, exemplified by the owner of Gice Loves, proved invaluable. Their guidance provided insights, perspective, and unwavering support that propelled me forward.
Advice: Seek mentorship early on. Look for individuals who have walked a similar path and can share valuable lessons. Don’t hesitate to ask for guidance, as mentorship often accelerates personal and professional growth.
3. Mindset Dynamics: Understanding the power of mindset, both in personal growth and helping others, was a transformative element. Recognizing the impact of positive thinking and overcoming mental barriers fueled my journey.
Advice:Invest time in understanding mindset dynamics. Read, attend workshops, and engage in practices that foster a positive and growth-oriented mindset. Consistent self-reflection is key to navigating challenges.
For those early in their journey, my advice is to embrace challenges, seek mentorship, and prioritize understanding the intricacies of mindset. Each setback is an opportunity for growth, mentorship provides valuable guidance, and a positive mindset is a powerful tool in achieving personal and professional success. Remember, the journey is as important as the destination.
Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?
My Mother, Sister and Mentor has been the most helpful in my journey, serving as a mentor who played a pivotal role in overcoming challenges and developing the essential skills, qualities, and knowledge needed for success. Their guidance and unwavering support have been instrumental in shaping my path and fostering personal and professional growth.
