As someone who’s studied leadership & personal development for years, it’s always amazing to see how much of the material that’s taught by today’s leaders connects back to the lessons that are taught in the Bible. 

In this episode, I had the privilege of chatting with someone who has influenced me, challenged me & helped me grow in my faith — my close friend and the lead pastor at Impact Church, Jason Holdridge.

He’s an incredible speaker & writer and we took some time to unpack the Scripture he wrote about in one of my favorite blog series that ties back to being the kind of leader that God wants us to be: bold, brave & committed to changing lives (no matter what the cost is).

Hearing Jason share his own struggles in leadership reminded me of a quote I heard at a leadership conference last week… “People don’t need a leader who’s always right. They need a leader who is REAL.”

We had a real, raw, and refreshing conversation about life, leadership & the lessons we can learn from the Bible about being BOLD and I hope you love it as much as I did!

I can’t wait to hear your feedback!

 

 

The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. And while I have always known that our words have a massive impact on how we feel, who we become and what we do in life, I never expected that three simple words could change my life so drastically…  My incredible […]

The Bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. And while I have always known that our words have a massive impact on how we feel, who we become and what we do in life, I never expected that three simple words could change my life so drastically… 

My incredible mother and special guest for today’s episode, Cindy Pentecost, hosted a women’s conference last year where she shared these three little words that have left an imprint on my mind and my heart ever since.

Not only have they changed my perspective on daily life, but they can change my mood in an instant any time I need an attitude adjustment.

If you’re stuck in the trap of negativity, complaining, blaming or making excuses (we have all been there!), I can’t wait for you to hear this message and apply it to your own life.

We ALL have the power to change the way we give meaning to the situations in our lives & sometimes it’s as simple as shifting our thoughts and changing our words.

I’m so grateful that the Lord laid this message on my mom’s heart to share & I’m so excited to share it with you in today’s episode!

As always, I can’t wait to hear what you think once you’ve had a chance to listen!

Knowing what I know now, I can honestly say that investing in my leadership from a young age is one of the best and most impactful decisions I’ve ever made for my career.

If you know me personally or follow me online, you know that leadership is one of my absolute favorite topics.

Some might even call me a leadership junkie…

Whether it’s books, leadership conferences, people or podcasts I can learn from, I take every opportunity I can get to soak up new knowledge from other successful leaders.

Remember… success leaves clues!

And if there’s anything I’ve learned over the last 12+ years as a student of leadership, it’s that I still have so much more to learn!

In this episode of What Leaders Do, I’m turning to two people I respect, admire and love to learn from when it comes to leadership… my friends Maribeth Dodd & John Alcala.

They have been learning leadership since their days in middle school & have so much to contribute when it comes to this topic.

We talked about life, what it means to to love your people before you lead them, how to cast a vision that people can rally behind, and so much more.

I loved hearing their stories & wisdom and I have a feeling you will too!

As always, I’d love to hear your feedback and any a-ha moments you have when you listen in…

It’s easy to get motivated, but it’s very difficult to STAY motivated. How do those people who go to the gym every single day stay motivated? How do those people who wake up at 5am everyday stay motivated? 

I know the secret. 

Here it is…

They aren’t always motivated, but they ARE consistently disciplined.

They do what they need to do, even when they don’t feel motivated to do it.

And if there’s one thing I can inspire you to do in 2018, it’s to move away from the ebb and flow of  “motivation” and step into the practice of discipline.

Like anything else, it’s a habit that you have to create one choice at a time.

It won’t always be easy, but I can promise you it will be oh-so worth it for the results you get and the person you become in the process.

I can’t wait for you to dive in and join me for this episode to talk all about what it means to be self-discipline and how your life can change because of it.

As always, I would love to hear from you in the comments!

If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout my years in business… there is no shortcut to success.

If you want results in any area of your life, you have to be willing to put the work in!

If you want to lose weight, you can’t go to the gym one time or eat one salad and expect to be a different pant size… right?

You have to take action day in and day out, for an extended period of time, before you ever see the reward of your hard work.

The same goes for your business! And while I don’t believe that ANYONE needs to spend hours upon hours working their business every single day in order to be successful, I do believe you need to take daily action.

That might mean an hour a day, or 10 minutes in the morning, at lunch and before bed. Whatever it looks like for you and your schedule, the CONSISTENCY is the most important part.

Consistent action, compounded over extended periods time, is how you create momentum and massive success. 

So, how do you stay consistent?!

In this episode, I share some of my favorite tips, tricks & mindset adjustments to stay consistent no matter how busy you are or what’s going on in your life.

I can’t wait to hear what you think… and, as always, I would love to hear from you in the comments!
