Leadership conditioning often involves managing businesses by attending to surface-level symptoms while neglecting the underlying systemic issues. It resembles the ocean's surface, where storms rage while tranquillity reigns in the depths below. Continuously addressing surface problems demands considerable effort.

Combining freedom and meaning, it elevates our identities and is further enhanced by a growth mindset. Find out how to kick your leadership skills up a notch and embrace a deep, thorough, and meaningful concept of leadership that challenges established thinking, dozens of required and often unsustainable skills, and endless 'how to' recommendations. This approach is undeniably thought-provoking. It paves the way for a new way of leading, opening doors to effortless success.

Leading with Intention

Thursday at 9AM Pacific on VoiceAmerica Business Channel

Challenges in the workplace and within teams is only increasing as companies struggle to transition to a post-COVID 19 remote work situation. These unstable times have stretched companies and their leaders beyond their capacity, and they do not know how to maintain a balance of authority, empathy, compassion, and assertiveness toward their coworkers, much less continue their own career trajectory. Leading with Intention offers support, encouragement, and tools to help corporate leaders address their personal shortcomings and emerge from these unprecedented times as well-rounded, self-assured leaders. The show focuses on execution - helping leaders learn how to improve soft skills, leadership competencies, and work-life balance. Most importantly, how to ensure that their organization is in alignment from the top down, including leaders and their direct reports.
