According to Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said. People will even forget what you did. But people will never forget how you made them feel." Nowhere is that idea more relevant than in business. The smartest, most successful business people are those who recognize the very human side of business. In a recent blog post, my guest, and leading performance expert, Joe Calloway said, “Great leaders prepare people to succeed, they don’t pressure them to succeed. That means being a teacher, being tough when you need to be, yet always having the team know that you believe in them, you’re on their side, and are their biggest supporter. Whether in sports, business, or any other endeavor, a weak leader has players who doubt themselves and are afraid. A strong leader has players who believe in themselves and each other, and are confident that they can, and will, win.” What’s love got to do with it? Everything! Join us for a thought provoking exploration of life, love and leadership.

Leading performance expert, Joe Calloway, and I discuss the principles from his newest book, "Be The Best At What Matters Most: The Only Strategy You’ll Ever Need". We live in a time when people can become obsessed with being different just for the sake of being different, we stop focusing on creating true value. We can get caught in the trap of MORE. But success and fulfillment don’t come to those who try and do everything; they come to those who do the most important things. Joe believes a focus on quality, consistency, and relentless improvement is the only strategy you’ll ever need. The reality of business and life is that, when you win on the basics, you win at everything. When you innovate and improve the basics, you become so good that you ARE cutting edge. Joe’s book is a study of what creates and sustains true success—simplicity, clarity, and focus. Visit JoeCalloway.com for more information on Joe’s work in the world.
