If you’ve not heard our previous three episodes  (#179 ,  #181  and  #183 ) in this series on transition, I’d encourage you to give them a listen. So far in our sessions, we’ve covered the fact change is inevitable. Transition is an absolute in our life, but how we deal with it varies tremendously. In order to experience a meaningful – and successful – transition, there are four stages each person...

Today is a special episode, wishing you a happy Labor Day!

If you’ve not heard our previous two episodes  (#179  and  #181 ) in this series on transition, I’d encourage you to give them a listen, as I’m confident they will increase your understanding for what we’re going to unpack today. So far in this series, we have laid a solid foundation for understanding what transition is, and shared an overview of the four stages of transition and their importance...

In this episode, I’m explaining how to get serious about getting stuff done: If It’s Not On The Calendar, It Ain’t Happening.

Last week, we started a new series on transition. Have you ever struggled in dealing with change? I’ve had an overwhelming response from people requesting help and coaching through transition in their life. This is a huge issue impacting leaders all over the world, and why I want to bring this expanded teaching. We began this new training series exploring what transition really is, why so many peo...

In this episode, I’m explaining The Joy of Seeing Your Students Become the Teacher.

As you know, I travel the globe teaching, training, and sharing with leaders from all walks of life. In all my traveling over the years, I can’t remember a time when I’ve seen so many people in the throes of transition. I recently gave a TED-like talk at an event in Tennessee and decided it would be appropriate to share some of the concepts on transition in this podcast series. My talk was relativ...

In this episode, I’m explaining why it’s so important to Never Underestimate The Power of One Relationship.

Today, I’m taking a slight detour from the training track and am sharing an interview with a dear friend and colleague about life, failure, and starting over. Dr. Phil Carson and I go back quite a ways, and I know his story will...

In this episode, I’m unpacking the old saying When the Student is Ready, the Teacher Appears.

What happens when you are mentally ready, c...

In this episode, I’m talking about Your Leadership Credibility Account & How To Maintain a Healthy Balance.

It seems these days more value is placed on entertainment and recreation than is placed on tools and resources to enhance one’s personal development. This is really a shame, because if we are going to continue to enlarge our capacity, expand our reach, grow our impact, etc. – we must also grow in knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and competencies! Today we’re unpacking the third of our 4 Cornersto...

In this episode, I’m talking about being 5 Categories of Daily Input I Strongly Recommend.

One of the greatest tragedies of our generation is so many people die without ever having discovered who they are, or why they were put here. Over the many years, I’ve worked with people, I’m sad to say a very small percentage of them ever discover and unlock their God-given destiny and potential. This doesn’t have to be the way it is! There is a way to discover your identity, purpose, ad life’s c...

In this episode, I’m talking about being Magical Mornings and the Art of Leading Your Day.

Last week, we introduced a new format for our podcast, taking a more systematic approach in our objective to develop leaders.

Today, we’re going to discuss the first cornerstone in this development philoso...

Ray Edwards is the host of  The Ray Edwards Show , a top-rated podcast about living in prosperity on purpose, and he provides rich content on life, leadership, business, marketing, and relating with God. Ray and I have become wonderful friends over the last few years, and I have come to both respect him as a business leader and as a man of God. Ray is a tremendous thought leader, a brilliant busin...

In this episode, I’m talking about the second principle of The L3 Philosophy, which is to Love Deep.

Over the course of history, even the most significant leaders of our generation have been faced with incredibly difficult or challenging circumstances. These leaders have shown themselves above the others because they demonstrated the will and heart to innovate and lead without reservation. There is a notable difference in positional leaders (managers) and genuine leaders. These real, genuine lead...
