Silver or bronze?

“Nobody can teach you how to lead; you need to be willing and able to learn how to lead,” says Linda Hill, Harvard Business School professor and one of the world’s top experts in leadership.?

Hill states that people learn mostly from their experiences, and that stepping outside of our safety zones, trying things we’ve never done before, and risking failure, are all necessary requirements in developing as a leader.?

The problem is, too many leaders just stay in their small area of expertise. They have some success and maybe even create a job that sustains them intellectually and financially.?

However, if you ever want to pass your business down to an heir or sell it for your retirement nest, you’d better put yourself in rooms with people ahead of you.?

Like most of America, I watched the Olympic Games this weekend and I was so excited to see the fastest men in the world. While everyone loves Noah Lyles, I am a Frank Kerley fan. I wanted to see him on the podium.?

As the lane assignments were announced, I was thrilled to see him in the lane next to Kishane Thompson of Jamaica.?

You see, I used to be a sprinter myself, and being in the lane next to someone bigger, stronger, and faster made me run harder. I always had my best times racing against the people I feared the most.?

What does this have to do with leadership??

You have to race the big dogs.?

You won’t learn by staying in the same, comfortable rooms.?

You need a fierce competitor and a wise and trusted coach to keep you at your peak and train you to lead in a way that supports you IN TOTALITY.?

This is why I’ve built my business on The Total Package, a coaching program designed for the leader who has had some success, but has reached a ceiling they just can’t seem to break through.?

Because what got you to the Olympics is different than what gets you on the podium.?

And what started as your reliable income is vastly different than what gets you a thriving business you can hand-off to your up-and-coming daughter, investor, or buyer.?

Who are you working with that’s better than you?

How much time are you spending in rooms where you feel like a newb?

When was the last time you raced and took home a silver or bronze medal??

It’s time. Your moment is now. Meet me on the interwebs and let’s talk about the leadership of your life, The Total Package: personal life, physical life, and professional life.? Together, we can architect your future.?

Your Executive High Performance Coach,?
