The DNA of Leadership

Leadership is deceptively simple. Simple doesn’t mean easy. Leadership isn’t theoretical; it’s personal. It involves real people, real emotions, and real consequences.

You will learn that the basis for leadership success is your ability in:

1. Building Real Relationships - The How and Why
2. Exhibit Sincere Empathy - What is Real Empathy
3. Inspire and Motivate Your Teams - Realize your team is not your competition

1. You will be able to look at relationship building from a new perspective.
2. You will understand what real empathy is and why it doesn't undermine you.
3. What teams want from their leaders.

Leadership will always be about humans.

  • At the recent FBLA National Leadership Conference, I had the privilege of hearing William speak about “The DNA of Leadership,” and it was one of the most moving and impactful speeches I’ve ever experienced. From the very beginning, William captivated the audience with his authenticity, energy, and powerful storytelling. He didn’t just talk about leadership as a title or position — he broke it down to its core: character, purpose, resilience, and service. What stood out the most was how he connected real-life challenges to leadership growth, making every word feel personal and deeply relevant. William’s message wasn’t just motivational — it was transformational. He encouraged us to look inward, to lead with empathy, and to understand that leadership is not about being in charge, but about being responsible for those in our care. His passion was contagious, and by the end, there was a sense of inspiration in the room that I’m sure many of us carried home. If anyone ever has the chance to hear William speak, I can’t recommend it enough. His words don’t just echo in your mind — they spark real change.

  • I was able to listen in on one of the sessions that William had at the NLC for FBLA. His speech was fantastic, from right when I walked in he greeted me and we had a great conversation which was a great way to start the 45 minute speech! There were many key points that I took away from his Leadership Blueprint speech. One main one that stuck out to me was actually his first point Build "REAL" Relationships, you must want to be a leader, it is a full time job in itself. One of the stories that he told was about how he took himself down to his employees level right away and tried to make it seem like he was less of a boss and more of a leader for the new employee. He asked him what he likes to do, and ended up going out golfing with him and by the third hole, he loosened up a little bit and made his work life more enjoyable and made the employee more open in the end. I don't think that most bosses do this and this is the type of boss or leader that is more needed and William seems to fit that pretty well. He definatly knows what he was talking about, has lived what he preaches, and provides great real life examples during his speech which makes him even more engaging and credible during his speech! Overall it was a fantastic speech and would defiantly go to another one of his speeches, it was very engaging and defiantly did not feel like a 45 minute speech!
