Peak Performance and Peak Satisfaction in Your Business Career

In some companies, managing people is a requirement to advance, while in others individual contributions are paramount. In either case, I have witnessed leaders starting to view people management as a tax. One they must do in order to advance, or one they do thanklessly. It can be common to lose sight of the true purpose of leading a team - to scale your impact. Tune in for a different view on leading teams to ensure the ROI is there for you and your business.

What You'll Learn From This Episode:

• 4 common, real-life examples of unhelpful tactics with your team that turn people management into a tax
• Recommitment and renewal to people leadership and investment in talent as a valuable resource
• 10 prerequisites on how to lead teams in a way that scales your impact to the business

There are two things we don't tolerate well as business leaders - risk and, counterintuitively, success. When it comes to risk, we would rather enjoy the reward without having to experience the associated uncertainty. We might fantasize about leading a life of leisure without having to put ourselves out there, while still collecting the same or better rewards. Interestingly, we also tend to retreat as the very success we have been working towards draws closer. In this episode, we build up your tolerance for both the risk involved in rewards, and for success itself.

What You'll Learn From This Episode:

• How risk intolerance can keep us from the rewards we seek and has us fighting with reality daily
• How success intolerance might have us quitting just before reaching our goal
• How to foster risk-taking and securing success in your team members in order to tap into their full capability

It's time for the antidote to the hustle and grind, hamster wheel approach that is glamorized and standardized within the business world. While we know logically that overworking is the fastest route to burnout and tapping out early, as well as self-destruction for our health and relationships, it continues to be the well-worn path. Without much thought we might mimic the behaviors of our colleagues thinking its the safest strategy for continued success.  In this episode, I am introducing a radically different approach to multiplying your professional success.  Less white-knuckling, more manifesting.  The result - your dream career: realized.

What You'll Learn From This Episode:

• Why we cling so tightly to our jobs
• How to outgrow the mindset that our work is our source that provides for all of our basic human needs
• Practical next steps to attract your career vision and make it your reality
