Leadership Lifestyle Podcast

Winning. Succeeding. Achieving.  Isn’t that what we are all striving for? What does winning really mean?  You can’t just win once and be happy.  You also can’t let a win, or a loss define who you are.  You can’t dwell on either winning or losing.  Winning, is really about the ability to move forward.  For a Leader, how can you create an environment of winning?  On this week...

Guess what?  You are not special.  Sounds like a strange way to talk about success.  The fact is, everyone goes through the same process to achieve things.  No one is immune.  The sooner you learn it’s about a process before it’s about you, you can focus on what you need to do to move forward.  On this week’s episode on the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, learn how to remove your i...

To really lead at a high level, you can’t get lost in the day-to-day grind.  There has to be a level of thinking above the normal, above just getting through the day.  Thinking long term and beyond where you are today is what will really change your focus.  It will make you lead at a higher level.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, learn to Lead with a higher...

If you haven’t failed at anything, you haven’t been trying to accomplish enough.  Many of us can’t just stop leading because something has gone wrong.  The big thing is recognizing when you’re failing.  It’s not always noticeable when you’re failing and sometimes it’s painfully obvious.  To really get your leadership chops if you will, you have to know how...

As a Leader, how do you keep going?  Everything is competing for your energy.  How do you keep the energy you need to lead the way you want to?  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast, learn how to keep the energy you need and be aware of what robs your energy.

Hard Leadership….you know….the drill instructor kind….is actually lazy leadership.  Don’t get me wrong, there is a time and a place for very direct leadership.  Think about a fire department putting out a house fire.  You can’t have a development meeting or a long term sales strategy to put out a fire.  How about an emergency room trauma patient?  Same thing.  What is...

Sounds a bit weird for a leadership podcast so imply you should put up with a bad work culture.  The fact is, just because you find out your work culture is bad, it doesn’t mean you can leave immediately.  Or maybe you were in a good work culture and a new leader took over and bam…..now it’s bad.  Either way, the worst thing that can happen is that you change who you are for some...

Nobody likes to be judged.  Many people swear that they don’t judge people.  The fact is, people do judge.  Sometimes for big reasons and sometimes for small reasons.  It’s pretty easy to get sucked into conversations like that.  Being judged can really change how you see yourself.  The next thing you know is you’re telling yourself those same things….even if they aren&#821...

Now more than ever, it can feel like you’re running out of bandwidth.  You only have so much energy and so much time.  Most of the time people are running out of bandwidth and don’t really realize it until they feel like they want to stop everything.  If you are living any life of value, constantly improving and moving forward, it will require more bandwidth from you. On this week&#821...

This title might be confusing.  The ultimate gift of leadership is getting others to become leaders in their own right.  So why focus on getting people to follow you?  It’s really about building the highest levels of trust.  Getting people to follow you is what creates your ability to influence others.  Then, you have a massive responsibility to mentor others into becoming leaders themselves...

You may be thinking, what kind of question is that?  You’re a leader or you want to be a leader, but do you have any talent to lead?  Does it take any talent to lead?  Well, yes, and no.  You really don’t need talent to lead….at first.  We’ll break it all down on this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast and show you that learning leadership skills is a...

I’m sure everyone is aware of the fact the whole world is short staffed.  What does that really mean?  Where did everyone go?  Are there really millions of people sitting out and somehow making a living?  Or does it really mean that the labor market is shifting, and people are just deciding they aren’t going to work the same way.  Whatever the answer is, we are seeing something histori...

Facts are facts.  If you are going to achieve something, you’ll have to join a “club” meaning, whatever group of people you are going to lead.  There is a price to be paid for it.  Also, there is a process to not only getting into the club but moving up in the club. For many of us, this isn’t a fun process.  On this week’s episode of the Leadership Lifestyle Podcast,...
