2025/09/08

Since we are at the very start of the holiday season, at least for businesses (and yes it is the start of the holiday season for business), company leaders both big and small have to start planning. Whether it's holiday parties, sales kickoffs, or, of course, annual meetings, the planning has to begin now, and it's worth planning them the right way. In the case of annual meetings, the importance is apparent. Most companies only get all the employees together once a year, and typic...

High Impact Leaders ·

2025/08/25

In today's episode, I'm going to cover a few of the several ways that managers or supervisors can learn a lot from looking at the skills that coaches possess. A common issue across so many managers, supervisors, and bosses out there is, regardless of how qualified they are as managers, they struggle desperately with being good leaders. Being a good leader, creating an effective environment, and manifesting real teamwork in the workplace are skills not often really taught to new manager...

Learn by Doing: Make Work Learning More Interactive

High Impact Leaders ·

2025/08/18

One of the most common things that we hear after we lead a workshop or training seminar is, "I have to be honest. I was really dreading having to come to this class. But I think I had more fun and learned more in this session than I have from any other training program." The reason why we get such good results is that we learned early on that people learn by doing -- not by hearing and seeing. So, boring lectures with a ton of bullet points don't typically work very well. On this episode, I'm...

I was traveling recently, and the person sitting next to me on the plane asked me what I did. I mentioned that companies hire me and my team members to come in and make meeting more fun and interesting. She said, "Give me your card. I just left one of the most boring and taxing meetings ever organized." And actually, that happens a lot. When event planners organize meetings, their time is limited. And they want to maximize the time they have available. So, the technical, business related topi...

High Impact Leaders ·

2025/08/04

When people hear the phrase “corporate team building event”, they usually think of outdated or awkward activities. Maybe it’s trust falls, a pizza party, or that cringeworthy moment when everyone shares “something interesting about themselves.” In other words, not exactly exciting. But team building doesn’t have to be cheesy. They can be fun. They can be powerful. And most importantly, they can make a real difference in how your team members work together. Choosing the right event is easier t...

High Impact Leaders ·

2025/06/10

Learning how to develop a growth mindset can transform a businessperson’s career from good to great. The Growth Mindset person sees every challenge as a chance to grow, not as a dead end. For example, they turn a botched deal into a lesson that lands bigger clients. In this episode, we cover what a Growth Mindset is (and why we should even care about it). Then, I give you a bunch of real-world examples of the difference between a Growth Mindset person and a Fixed Mindset person. (Hint: one t...

Make Strategic Thinking Part of Your Team Culture

High Impact Leaders ·

2025/06/02

With all the challenges going on in the economy right now, as a business owner or team leader, it's real easy to focus on the challenges and not your team. As human beings, we have a natural talent for reacting to situations versus planning for potential situations that may occur. However, if you do the latter, you can capitalize on these challenges. The company or team that adapts first always has an advantage in the marketplace. So, on this episode, I've going to show you how to make stra...

Step one is to put the person being manipulated into an emotional state. Typically, the manipulator will get you angry or create fear in the victim.Step two is to create both a villain and a victim. And in many cases, the villain and the victim are switched during the manipulation. What's right is wrong. What's up is down...

The Presidential Elections of 2024 are next month. And every election year, politicians make a lot of promises and demonize the other candidate. In 2020, just for fun, I did a series on How to Manipulate People and the Signs of a Con Artist. If you recall, in 2020, there was a ton of political speech, social media, new reports, and the like that, in retrospect, was entirely false.So, just for fun, I decided to study the topic.

This week, I cover a really fun topic about how different generations in the workplace like to communicate with each other. This is one of those topics that, the more I studied it, the more fascinating it became.For instance, have you ever wondered why Millennials (people born from the mid-1980s to the turn of the century) really love communicating via chat apps? Or why Generation X people (folks born in the 1960s to 1980) would prefer that you just call them -- don't waste time sending texts...
