Sound familiar?

We desperately want to create certain behaviors and standards of execution within our teams.

How do I get them to understand?  

This is the question we ask next.  

Eventually, we start to think we're to blame for the communication.  So we spend more time thinking about how we can be more clear.

4 Myths Leaders...

What are the three strongest traits of all remarkable leaders?

As leaders, we're role-models. 

Who we are as leaders will determine the behaviors, attitudes, and culture on our team.

There is a laundry list of boxes to check to become a great leader.  Thousands of books have been written on this very topic.

It can be quite overwhelming and it's easy to get lost in everything we believe we "should" be...

That is why I've boiled it down to just three areas to cultivate and role-model with your team. 

When you become the role-model, you give your team permission to do the same...and this can become a game-changer.

In this video, we'll explore the three core traits all remarkable leaders demonstrate.

What is the X-Factor when it comes to you and your team's performance?

We all want to see greater results, especially when we know we are capable of so much more.

How do extraordinary leaders create massive results within their teams and organizations?

I'd often wonder, "how do they do it?"

There is one key shift that all great leaders make that fundamentally change how they lead and the results they create.

I remember a time when I felt inadequate as a leader.  This belief led me to overcompensate. 

Trying hard to fake it until I made it, my focus was on what others thought of me as a leader.

This only hurt my abilities to lead and influence my team.

In this video, I share a key lesson.  Figuring out this one thing can fundamentally change your perspective of leadership and your abilities to lead well. 

In this video, we'll explore the fundamental shift all extraordinary leaders make to tap their next level of influence and results within their team and organization.

I remember when I was my toughest critic, always falling short of my expectations.

I thought I was pushing myself to be better. But it never seemed to end.

I'd always find something else to be disappointed with.

This not only affected me, but it also affected my team. I became very judgmental of other's performance.

We'll just say the combination of the two had a tendency to create a tense and intimidating environment for those who worked with me.

At the time, it was understandable considering the pressure to get results.  

But as I've studied high-performance I'm learning there are simple things that we do that hold us back from our potential and therefore the potential of our team.

One simple thing that might be tripping you up is the Law of Dominant Thought.

In this video, we'll explore the power of our focus and what is known as the law of dominant thought.  Learn how to:

1. Visualize what you want instead of avoiding what...

As a leader, wouldn't it be great if someone were to just tell you what NOT to do?

Naturally, this was a question I've always wondered...what am I doing that's getting in the way of me being effective as a leader?

I knew what I was "supposed" to do and be as a leader.

Yes, all leaders should serve their team.  John Maxwell says, "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

Like you, I've heard all the aphorisms around leadership.  But you know what?

I've never heard anyone talk about these three pitfalls that all ineffective leaders have in common.

Even strong leaders fall into these three human tendencies.  

The beautiful thing is that because these aren't talked about, you might not even be aware you're doing this. 

And that's what's so great because once you do become self-aware you can start to choose a different more effective approach. 

In this video, we'll discuss the three most common pitfalls...

The number one question that I'm most often asked is "How do I grow as a leader and develop my executive presence?"

Executive presence, what does that even look like?

You know it when you see it, right?

The person is poised, intuitive, creative, focused, powerful, persuasive, and even charismatic.  They communicate with ease, they have clarity, and have a way of simplifying complexity.

It would make sense why you want to improve your executive presence.  But how?

So often we look to tactical training to develop what is intangible and even subjective. 

How do you develop something that feels so hard to grasp?

In this video, we discuss three simple areas to improve your executive presence.  

We'll answer questions like...

• What does it really mean to be present?
• What is it that might be preventing you from being a more powerful and influential leader? 
• What do all great leaders have in common?

Also,  as...

Have you ever felt like you're not as confident as you want to be?  

As you move forward into greater success, you're likely to experience this from time to time.  It's normal to feel unsure of your abilities to create the outcomes you went to.

This is especially true when you're pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone doing things for the first time or choosing to move in new directions with your life.

But, nonetheless, confidence IS important.  When you're not confident you are leaving so much potential on the table.

In this video, we'll explore what confidence is and how you can find it when you need it most.
