Have you ever suffered an overwhelming loss? Have you desperately needed a bailout but none was forthcoming?
In 2006, Ford suffered a devastating $12.7 billion loss, but Alan Mulally's leadership made Ford the only American car manufacturer able to refuse a government bailout. Mulally transformed Ford into the #1 automobile brand in the United States.

As a student of leadership, you know that one key insight, like the one above, can often unleash your ability to create an amazing future. WHO you learn from makes an incredible difference! It is the secret sauce that makes LIVE2LEAD an amazing investment in YOU, and it is such a bargain...
Would you change your world if you could? This is NOT a rhetorical question. Would you opt-in if a roadmap were provided to you along with access to key resources? Would you commit because you love your family passionately, believe this world can be better, and you hope to one day leave this world a better place than you found it?
Who is ready to see this world changed for the better? I know I am. Every time I turn on the news, read the paper, or open my social media feed -- my hunger for good news and excellent leadership only increases.
Excellence in leadership can exponentially impact this world for the better! This is why I am so excited about Live2Lead 2020.
Do you know your "why" well enough to give an elevator pitch for it?
Let me start by saying that I love the concept of an "elevator pitch."
Wikipedia defines "elevator pitch" as "a short description of an idea, product or company that explains the concept in a way such that any listener can understand it in a short period of time."
What do you do when two people you care about get into a conflict? How do you help them?
These people may be on your team at work, in your family, or your circle of friends.
Conflict is devastating because, in conflict, there is a breakdown in a relationship. This breakdown involves the disintegration of trust, empathy, and compassion for one another. Conflict, if left unchecked, can collapse a team, a family, and even an organization.
Here is to help two people stuck in a conflict get unstuck.
Did you know that the average American works 44 hours per week, or 8.8 hours per day, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics? That's 2,288 hours per year! It's safe to say that work takes up much of our lives.
With so much of your life spent at work, I hope you enjoy what you do, and are valued by those you work with.
Let me ask you a question about your work experience.
Why do I believe so strongly in the power of coaching for myself and others?
Simply put, it’s because of what coaching believes about people -- and how it pulls the best out of people through a coaching relationship.
The power of coaching comes from the presupposition that people are fundamentally creative, resourceful, and whole.
It’s no secret that we’ve all had to shift and pivot over the last 6 months. Some pivots have yielded great returns and ideas, and one of these pivots I’m writing about today.
With the lack of in-person events, the need for virtual events was created. Because of this, we’ve pivoted to offer the Live2Lead conference virtually this year! We are more excited than ever to have the ability to bring Live2Lead to wherever you are. No limitations on travel, time-off, schedule conflicts- the potential is endless!
We want you to know just how incredible our sessions are going to be this year. We have 5 world-class leaders that will emphasize “The Call of Leadership”. The speakers will lean into takeaways on how we can go change the world, not single-handedly, but together.
Do you struggle to feel heard when communicating? Is it difficult to get your point across in a discussion?
These feelings are more common than you think. You are not alone.
So often in communication, we pay attention to what we’re saying, how we’re saying it, and what we want to say as we’re dialoguing -- with the focus being totally on us.
What do you think is the single most significant issue I work on with my clients? Surprisingly, it is also the foremost issue I also struggle to overcome. It centers around the concept of inner-dialogue.
Your inner-dialogue is the ongoing narrative or conversation you have with yourself as you daily live your life. It includes things you say to yourself about yourself, about others, about situations, about what is possible and not possible, about life, etc.
These thoughts are incredibly influential. Why?
If you’ve read the first two emails in this series on habits, we’ve covered what habits are and why bad habits are hard to break. Hopefully, you have taken some time to list your habits and describe where they may be leading you.
Today, I want to expand upon these thoughts and talk about how you can start replacing the old (and unhealthy) habits with new (and healthy) habits geared toward your success. These new habits will position you to realize your full potential and thrive across all of life.
There are many keys to building successful habits. Today, I want to focus on three that will provide you with a ton of leverage as you begin to make these essential changes.
