The 3 ROI's of Leadership

You know about the return on investment - businesses demand this for future results. But as a leader, there are 3 distinct ROI's that are at play in determining our effectiveness. Understanding and deploying all 3 prepares any leader for success.

The Path to Promotion

So many people want to know how to get promoted - how to get to their next level - yet they lack a road map. While there isn't a magic formula, there are practical, time-honored steps anyone can take to move from where they are to where they want to be. I share these real-life steps that will help you on your own path to promotion.

Culture Confidence

Whose responsibility is it to build an organization's culture? The quick answer is "management". However, every team member can help build a dynamic culture. How? By learning their responsibilities to PROMOTE, PRACTICE, and PROTECT their company's culture. We truly are all in this together.

Create Your Own Networking Forum

Are you looking to create a networking forum in your community that will help develop leaders, promote business growth, and bring together dynamic connectors from across your region? I can show you how to do just that. My brother and I co-founded First Fridays in 2017 to help leaders grow & network. I will show you how to follow our model which can transform your leadership community. We have launched First Fridays in Cincinnati and will soon launch in Indianapolis. This is all about transformational leadership.

John Maxwell Leadership Topics

I am able to speak to a wide variety of leadership topics with the resources I have available from the John Maxwell Team.

One Step at a Time - Change is Possible!

Personal development. Weight loss. Continuing education. Preparing for the future. It can all be overwhelming until you understand how change really works. We will explore how the every day things we do either work for us or against us. The secret is in the small, incremental steps that move us from here to our exciting there.
