Leading With Humility

When people say, "don't let it get to your head", they mean it. Humbleness is one of the largest parts of leading. Many in the position of leadership forget this step.

The Right To Reconcile

Whether it's the strength to make a phone call to a lost loved one, or putting personal differences aside with a coworker. All of us the need the ability to reconcile at one point in our lives.

Young Leadership

Many millennials are coming into positions of leaderships. Times can be made difficult if a seasoned coworker, elected official or relative, "ain't taking direction from a kid".

Be Bold, Be You

Being free from the opinion of man is harder than you think. Don't be afraid to stand out. Leaders are at times loners. Learn how to trust yourself while listening to others.

It's More Than Sales

Sales is much more than numbers and quotas. It's about connections. Many of those connections are made in a split second. Don't miss your opportunity. Learn to recognize the moment.

Good vs. Great

Don't let yourself or staff settle for being good when they be can be great! Some people shoot for the middle. That's okay. But not when you have greatness inside.
