AI Amplifies Your Leadership. Are You Ready?

A recap for growth-minded CEOs and CXOs from our July Executive Reset - Leadership Agility in the Age of AI Here's a stat that stopped our room of mid-market CEOs and CXOs cold last week: 92% of companies plan to keep investing in AI. Only 1% of leaders feel ready for what that investment demands of them. That gap isn't a technology problem. It's a leadership capacity problem - the exact conversation our Executive Reset group dug into on July 15. The ...

The Math Behind the Leadership Gap

A recap from our June 2026 Executive Reset - and why every CEO and CHRO in the room left with the same homework. On June 17th, Candace Goodwin and I hosted our June Executive Reset. I want to share the data that drove the room’s reaction - because I think it should drive yours too. Here’s the number we opened with: 78% of employees rate their managers as only moderately effective - or worse - at supporting their development. Just 22% are rated ...

As a Leader, What Does Success Look Like at Work?

The leaders I work with have found that “flexible focus” is necessary for success today.   Success is defined as: Delivering results on goals Keeping the team focused and productive Navigating the increasing pace of change without becoming misaligned Making time to keep a long-term view while delivering short term results Utilizing leadership agility skills to achieve the above. Success is still defined about hitting financial targets and other yearly goals.  With all the uncertainty in the country, economy and world today, leaders have ...

Lead Like You Mean It: The Art of Resilient Leadership

After 14 years as a Vice President in banking and telecom, and more than 2 decades since founding my executive advisory & leadership coaching firm, I’ve seen what separates leaders who thrive from those who merely survive. It’s not a title or a strategy. It’s resilience: the ability to lead with clarity and intention no matter what the world throws at you. Leading Through Uncertainty and Change When change hits, the most powerful question I ask clients is: How do you want to ...

Life, Leadership & Resilience

The Only Way to Elevate Your Company is to Elevate Your People Life, Leadership & Resilience was the topic of our March 2024 Newsletter, The PaceSetter which still seems "spot on" a year later.

It encourages aspiring leaders to embody the leadership they wish they had, prioritize actions over words, seek honest feedback, and remain undeterred by external opinions. Failure is a universal experience ...

How To Motivate and Ultimately Engage An Employee

A simple Google search or a visit to Gallup’s website will reveal the most common factors that motivate employees.  However, that’s employees in general – NOT necessarily the people you manage. Employees are individuals.  Some want to be in the office because they feed off the energy of being around people.  Others are motivated by being able to work at home with the flexibility to better handle all areas of their life.  In fact, many employees say they work longer hours for the ...

Leadership Styles and Corporate Responses to Crisis Situations

The most common leadership styles are autocratic, democratic and delegative. So, how does each style affect a crisis in a corporation? The autocrat will need to make all the decisions in a crisis, keep everyone in fire-drill mode and require continuous updates. Many times they insist on being the point person for communications, not trusting anyone else to handle it. They may prefer to release very little information and keep full details close to the vest to be shared only with a few ...

Qualities of a Visionary Leader

The most distinguishing trait of a true visionary leader is their ability to craft an emotionally engaging picture of a desired end state, one that motivates and enlists their followers in believing it is truly possible.  History has provided amazing examples, like our Founding Fathers creating a democracy, Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and more recently, Obama’s original campaign founded on the “Audacity of Hope”. Visionary Leaders have high levels of emotional intelligence and are able to influence others to ...

Identifying Your Blind Spots As A Leader

I love this topic – it’s so important and one that’s not usually addressed. Some topics I see over and over again! What I wish all leaders knew is that they actually HAVE blind spots. It’s impossible not to. Even the best of intentioned, most self-aware leaders can be unaware of how they’re being perceived or how their actions are impacting others beyond their immediate circle. We ALL see the world through our own point of view, and our brain filters out information that disagrees with that ...
