Excited to be invited to attend the Q2 all-hands meeting at my client, Snellings Walters Insurance Agency! There was much to celebrate as they won the prestigious Marshberry Max Performer Award for the 3rd year in a row! The first and ONLY company to have one it not once, not twice, but THREE years in a row! An extraordinary achievement! CONGRATS to the amazing leadership team including Billy Potter, Jennifer Goodwyn and Lily Deeb! SUCH an honor to work with organization to help develop their future leaders! #leadership #corporateleadership #leadershipdevelopment

A 2022 survey of 2,000 employees conducted by OnePoll found that 46% of Americans have left a job because they felt unappreciated. Can you believe that? At first, this shocked me to my core, but then I sat with this statistic and applied it to my clients both corporate teams and individual leaders. I wasn't as shocked after that. One common thing that I see over and over is that leaders are not clear on how to show their teams their appreciation. I am constantly having to coach my clients on this. I so very often see an imbalance in giving feedback (intended for improvement) and feedback given on positive work. Feedback is an art form and the cornerstone to your people leadership. My group program, Elevate Your People Leadership: Managing Employees to Achieve their Best Results, is the solution for feeling confident in your leadership role. I will take you from feeling overwhelmed and questioning your every move, to fully feeling empowered in your role. After taking the program, you’ll... ✔️Be able to deliver feedback that actually changes employee behavior for the betterment of the company. ✔️Feel relieved that you have the tools to lead and manage multiple people. Feel POWERFUL as you help develop those on your team or make the decision that someone isn't the best fit. I led teams for many years and for the last 15 years, I've taught corporate teams how to be better leaders. Now, it's your turn. I am turning my focus to the individual leader (vs. corporations) and sharing my proven tips and methods because I feel there has never been a more important time than now to be a good leader. Join me as we kick off in September.

Welcome to #lessonsinleadership! This week, I'm sharing 3 tips on how to get your swagger on in the office. Why is this important? Getting your swagger on is about speaking up for your needs without the desire to dominate, win at all costs, or be disrespectful. Tip #1: Confidence is key in the office. Remember, your company values your skill sets. If you know what you're doing, then act like it. Tip #2: Stay present in meetings to contribute effectively. Being actively engaged allows you to add value to the conversation. Tip #3: Avoid rambling by using an executive summary or bullet format to convey your ideas confidently and succinctly. Strong language can help you get your point across effectively. Let's embrace our confidence and make our voices heard in the workplace! #leadership #confidence #professionaldevelopment

A sign that you love what you do… I’ve been on vaca in Greece for a week and half. Had a blast BUT I’m SO excited to get home so I can do a keynote for a client later this week in Dallas (preceded by meetings with a fave client in Atlanta)! Wanted to share a few pics from my trip. And no, I’m not having a heart attack (although it looks like it in a few pics!). It was 100 in Athens and walking up the Parthenon almost killed me! 😬 #lifeisgood #speakerlife #lovewhatyoudo

GREAT question from Steve Mellor, PCC: What can you let go of before the week’s out?? Good question so you can more fully enjoy the weekend! Hope it gives you the necessary recharge we all need!

Can't bring me down today! I am SO ready for the weekend! ✨ What are your weekend plans? #weekendvibes #tgif

Being a good leader for your team elevates your reputation which directly benefits you (over and over and over). What was my secret? It certainly started with being great at delegating to my team while also holding them accountable for what was assigned to them (something that many people leaders find difficult to do). Being able to delegate and hold people accountable: ✔️It frees you up to think strategically. ✔️Allows your employees to take on more responsibility which elevates their skills. ✔️Creates a succession plan allowing you to move on to other roles and responsibilities (thus freeing up room for your employees’ growth!). ✔️Motivates your staff! I had people who WANTED to work for me because they were constantly learning and contributing at a higher level. They could see their skills improving every month! That plays a big role in productivity (both theirs and mine). My group program, Elevate Your People Leadership: Managing Employees to Achieve their Best Results, is the solution for feeling confident in your leadership role. I will take you from feeling overwhelmed and questioning your every move, to fully feeling empowered in your role.

Welcome to #lessonsinleadership! This week, I am sharing valuable tips on the importance of forward thinking and how to nurture this essential skill for effective leadership. Tip #1: Stay informed! Keeping up with industry trends and changes is crucial. Being aware of potential shifts in your field can help you anticipate and adapt to what lies ahead. Tip #2: Conduct a SWOT analysis using your company’s long-term plans. Identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats can guide your strategic thinking and prepare you for future challenges and opportunities. Tip #3: Consider the future impact of your decisions. When making choices, envision how they will align with the evolving landscape in one, five, or ten years. Adapting your mindset to focus on long-term implications can lead to more sustainable and successful outcomes. Enhance your leadership skills by embracing forward thinking and proactively shaping a brighter future for your organization. #leadership #forwardthinking
