On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we’ll get real about the struggle to be a positive leader, the human reasons why it’s a stru...

Leadership Pro Tip: Everybody struggles!!!! Yes, everyone. We are started from somewhere and hopefully, we are all trying to be a better version of ourselves. The good news is that you just to 5 DOGS that you feed well, exercise and take care of properly. Stop trying to just beat or be better than others. When you do that, the other person is the goal. What if you really expanded yourself to be better. That’s it….just better. Then, repeat that process over and over again. On the week’s episode o...

Recent data shows two things that on the surface, do not make sense. Worker happiness is at a 30-year high, but worker disengagement is still at 70%. How can both things be true? Don’t confuse happiness with engagement. Those are two separate things. As a leader, you need to start asking yourself some questions. No, you can’t solve everyone else’s problems or concerns. However, you can make some serious headway if you start to acknowledge them. On the week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle P...

Ok….nothing is simple, but it’s definitely not complicated. Leaders, the fact is, there is always a rub between what you want to accomplish and what gets in the way of accomplishing it.

But what if you don’t take the time? Give yourself one hour or less, to complete this 4 “E” Exercise and you’ll start to see clearly, and pretty quic...

Sounds strange but moving on is the same for winning and losing. Yes, I know, it’s much more glorious to win but you can’t stay there.

On this week’s episode on the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we’ll show you that you should always move on to what’s next. It’s as simple as 2, two word questions. Answer those, and you’re...

Probably the most frustrating thing for leaders regarding team performance, other than incompetence, is your team’s behaviors. Why do they behave the way they do? Why don’t they display other, more helpful behaviors? What about you? Yes, you……the Leader?? What about your behaviors? More importantly, what’s driving those behaviors? On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we’ll give you the permission to take a time out and ask these questions to yourself. If you want to help y...

Of all the things you contribute to your team, to your company, you have to get things done. You must Execute! Leaders can make the mistake of thinking Execution is the ONLY thing. I know I’m saying two different things. Yes, you must execute but it can’t be at all costs. In other words, you really have to dig into what behaviors create execution. On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, we talk about how to focus execution behaviors so each day you’re doing what you should to...

What I do bring to you in this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, is the 4-step framework to achieving something new.
