The Promise of Great Leadership…Fulfilled

I used to believe that leadership was bullshit.

Yes. Really.

Why? Because in my 20 years of work with companies, in low-growth and turnaround situations, what I saw missing was Strategic Thinking, Real Planning, Revenue Generation Expertise, Operational Excellence, and Committed Execution. When I brought those things to the companies I consulted with, they would start to flourish and grow.

I read over 100 leadership books. They were all very strong on theory and many had great stories…but there was one HUGE PROBLEM…they never told me what to DO! I am a pragmatist. When I read a business book, I want the author to tell me what to DO! How do I apply all of your knowledge and wisdom and experience to MY SITUATION!! WHAT SHOULD I DO ON MONDAY MORNING?

I had read all the books…

Then my close friend Maureen Brooks called me up…

She told me she wanted to start a leadership training course. She had a plan…and most importantly…she introduced me to THE MOST AMAZING LEADERS I have ever met. We started meeting and we designed a year-long course to teach REAL LEADERSHIP…How to Build High-Performance Teams who would accomplish more than you have ever imagined…with ordinary people. Our focus was on WHAT TO DO every day as a great leader and how to get extraordinary results from those you lead. We recruited potential We Before Me leaders for our course and we got started. IT WORKED. We transformed lives. We transformed companies.

We had cracked the code. We had distilled the collective wisdom of this group down to 13 Core Principles that worked consistently in every industry for every team. The light bulb had gone on for me. The role of the leader is to recruit, engage, inspire, communicate, extract brilliance, support, recognize achievements and integrate the uniqueness of each team member into the collective power of the whole to accomplish the extraordinary. There were specific actions that a great leader had to DO to be a great leader. There were specific beliefs shared by all these great leaders. Leadership was a set of skills that had to be mastered to get the very best out of every team member to ensure that the team as a whole would succeed…and great leadership would be the gasoline poured on top of great strategy, operational excellence and great execution.

Then I wrote

a book…

On Saturday morning I woke up inspired. I should write this all down for future generations of leaders who wanted to know what they could DO to be great leaders of people. I took everything I learned from these amazing WORLD-CLASS PROVEN LEADERS from every walk of life… Eric Frohart, a SEAL Team leader, Chris Warner, world famous mountain climber and leader of over 200 mountaineering expeditions, Walt Rakowich, Fortune 100 CEO and leader of the largest turnaround in corporate history, Cheryl Bachelder, turnaround CEO for Popeye’s Fried Chicken, Mark Hughes, who led high level teams in The Pentagon and now coaches tech startups, Jim Hodge, who has personally raised billions for not-for-profit organizations, Kate Duffy and Bob Kulhan who teach at many of the most prestigious MBA programs in the U.S., Rick Searfoss, NASA Shuttle commander and test pilot for the Air Force, Jim Reuter, CEO of FirstBank, Rick Tetzeli, former editor of Fortune Magazine, and Todd Musselman, the best personal development coach with whom I have ever had the honor to work…

And condensed it into just 13 Core Principles and 86-pages…

And titled it We Before Me. You can get your copy here or I’ll send you a free copy when we talk.
The difference between my book and all the other leadership books I’ve ever read is that it tells you what to DO! Step-by-step through 13 short simple chapters.
Then I created an online course to go into more depth.

But there was still a problem…

I kept getting calls from people asking me about their specific situation. Their specific team members. Their bosses or board members. Their customers or competitors. Their goals and objectives.

Their issues and problems…how to apply each principle to their exact setting…and that’s when I realized…

They needed PERSONALIZED HELP AND GUIDANCE…

to implement each of the CORE PRINCIPLES in their work life and their business situation. They needed one-on-one coaching help building their High-Performance Teams.

1:1

So, I finally decided to coach leaders One-on-One…in We Before Me Leadership…to show them EXACTLY what to do to be great leaders and how to build high-performance teams of their own.

I’m opening this coaching to only 5 people… because I want to be sure I can give each of you the TIME AND ATTENTION you want, need, and deserve…to ensure your success.

What if…

  • You had a team you could count on to deliver targeted results…quarter after quarter…without fail?
  • Your team worked together like a well-oiled machine…rather than sniping at each other and griping about who does what and who isn’t doing their share?
  • Everyone knew their role and their unique contribution to the team…and they were proud of it?
  • They didn’t rely on one senior leaders or superstar to reach their goals, but instead really shared the load?
  • They began learning and growing at a pace that would keep up with the external pace of change?
  • They learned how to partner with outside people and firms to further accelerate their growth even more?
  • Your team LOVED coming to work…Even LOVED coming into the office…because they genuinely liked working together?
  • They served your customers at the highest levels in the industry?
  • Your team functioned independently…without you having to make every decision?
  • Accomplished even more than THEY thought possible?
  • What would happen to morale?
  • How would that change your culture?
  • How would that transform your company?

 

What would be possible then?

You’ll get all of that and more with my Certainty Program. You’ll get everything you need for you and your team to succeed. 

Specifically for you…

Ignition Strategy Session

In this session, we’ll do a deep dive into your organization, your history, your financials, your revenue generation strategies and tactics, your operations and most importantly, your teams, how they are operating currently, and the kinds of results they are producing. Most importantly, we’ll focus on what they need to accomplish in your eyes to be considered a high-performance team.
Once we have a blueprint for exactly what your team must accomplish in what time frame, you’ll work with your team to create a detailed action plan for accomplishing it.
Then we’ll work together with your team to bring certainty to your outcomes. We’ll train them on the 13 Core Principles and we’ll show them how to apply each of those principles to their teammates and project to ensure that they meet and exceed their goals while building a stronger team in the process.

Weekly Support Call

Every week we will have a Zoom call or a phone call to assess the team’s progress and design our next steps to take the team to the next level of performance.

Podcast Interviews

I interviewed our faculty to gain a deeper understanding of how they think and feel about We Before Me Leadership. For most of our faculty I was able to do two interviews. One is a deep dive into their background, upbringing and history of how they got where they got. You’ll really get to know them as a person. The second interview is a deep dive into their leadership philosophy and how they apply it in their lives and businesses. You’ll be blown away by how cool these people are as people and how differently they think about leadership than anyone else you have ever met. I promise it will be an eye-opening experience. Then we’ll discuss your impressions and takeaways on our calls to go even deeper in the philosophy and practice of We Before Me.

Unlimited Coaching through Calls and Zooms

The reason we call this the Certainty Program is that you will get unlimited access to me to deal with any and every issue that comes up. You’ll have my scheduling link allowing you to schedule as many calls or Zoom meetings as you like, based on my availability. (Which will be ample because I’m only offering this program to 5 clients.) I want to bring certainty to your success and the best way to do that is to be available to you every day to ensure your success.

For Your team…

In-Person Kick-Off Session

I will come to your business personally and do a kickoff session with your team. I’ll deliver a keynote speech on We Before Me culture and what it means. Then, we’ll talk about the team’s specific goals and how they can use the Core Principles to blow the doors off their goals. Your team will have a level of excitement about achieving their goals that they have never had before.

Access to the Online Course for your entire organization (up to 100 people)

We have put together an excellent online course (19 sessions) which is self-paced to allow each team member to engage with the material at a pace that is comfortable for them.

Quarterly Strategy Sessions with Your Team

Each quarter, your team will have a Zoom Session with me to celebrate what they have accomplished, update the plan for the next quarter, make any necessary adjustments, document our learnings and get them excited about exceeding their goals going forward.

13 Team Training Sessions

We will go through each of the 13 Core Principles with the entire team and discuss how they can apply them to their team in your company. The whole team will participate in exercises that get everyone involved, engaged and energized to work better as a high-performance team to accomplish their goals.

We Before Me Books

Every team member will get their own copy of the book to read, mark up, make notes in and re-read as often is necessary.

Leaders are Readers Books

We know that readers are better leaders. This book will show everyone on your team how to master any business book in under an hour. Imagine the learning that could take place and the contribution your team members could make to each other if they each read just one book a month…or one book a week and shared it in your internal meetings.

Learners are Earners Books

All great teams are in a Constant Learning Posture! Yet, most leaders and most companies don’t know how to structure their learning for maximum gains in personal growth, applicable skills and profitability for the company. This book provides a blueprint for exactly that.

Becoming the Champion of Your Dreams Books

The single greatest capability of any company is the ability to set and achieve goals as a team. That is also true for each individual on your team. This book shows them step-by-step how to set and achieve any goal. There are also worksheets that show them how to blow up roadblocks (mental, physical or situational) to ensure that nothing prevents them from crossing the finish line in record time.

The bottom line…

If you bought all these tools separately, you would be investing over $140,000.

With my Certainty Program your investment is just $85,000 for the year.

That comes out to just $7084 a month to bring certainty to the achievement of your team goals!

What would it mean to your team, your company and your career if you could bring certainty to the achievement of your goals?

Let’s talk…
I realize this is a lot to process. You have questions. You are concerned about timing and team acceptance and many other issues. Let’s get on a Zoom and talk through your questions and concerns. We’ll create a bulletproof game plan for blowing the doors off your goals for 2024!
