“Rediscovering the secrets to creating lasting value.” This is the subtitle to Bill George’s book, Authentic Leadership: Rediscovering the Secrets to Creating Lasting Value.  The statement,  “… creating lasting value” captures the heart of being an authentic leader.

Being a Great Change Leader is one of those paradoxes where it’s not about you and all about you. To lead a wildly successful change process you need to be able to inspire your people through your vision and to enable them to do the work that makes the vision happen. Then, your acknowledgment and […]

I’ve observed that the most successful change agents involve their people early in the strategic process. Their knowledge and expertise are valuable in creating the plan and early involvement builds buy-in to the process. Your people want to be a part of a successful endeavor whenever that is possible. It’s a feel-good experience all around […]

The leaders that I coach tend to be self-aware, heart-centered leaders. They’re committed to making a difference and to leading from a place of empowering others to be their very best by employing their Strengths at work. These leaders desire the best for their people and for the companies and institutions they work for. While […]

This week has been a whirlwind of lessons in authenticity. Observing and pondering conversations and circumstances through my Strengths Intelligence lens has reminded, me once again, how very different our individual common sense is because it is informed by our unique Strengths. When I step back from a situation and attempt to understand it through […]

How does one’s character develop? We commonly think of character development as deriving from things like early childhood experiences, modeling by important adults in our lives, the environment and culture in which we were raised, school and our religious affiliations – along with our free will. As I dive deeper into my personal strengths, I see […]

My coaching practice focuses on ‘who you are as a leader’ vs ‘what you do as a leader’. There are many talented consultants, workshops and webcasts that are completely focused on ‘what you do as a leader’ – focused on the bottom line. In my 16 years of coaching leaders I’ve found that, while you […]

Creating a Framework for Success as a Sustainable Leader in a Socially Connected Environment
Being a sustainable leader isn’t just a ‘touchy-feely’ term. It’s about creating innovation and collaboration within your environment. It’s about accomplishing goals that matter. And yes, it’s even about improving the bottom line of your business.

Because nothing is sustainable if it doesn’t “increase profitability and your competitive advantage.”
