It’s always fun to welcome martial artists to the program. Ruben Crawford is an MMA fighter with, and I hope we got our stats up to date, a record of 16 and 4 with 4 knockouts and 8 submissions. That means he’s a pretty tough dude!

One of the core philosophies in THE SENSEI LEADER MOVEMENT is the idea that personal development and professional development are inseparable. If you want to be a better leader––work ALWAYS on becoming a better person…

Today’s guest exemplifies this ideal––Ruben Crawford learned to combine his athletic development with his business development––and now he shares that process to help leaders succeed…

These days, Ruben is translating what he’s learned in the ring and how he developed as an athlete to help business leaders succeed.

You can’t swing a dead cat these days without hitting a Disney expert. I probably should have said a dead mouse!

The problem is, most of them never even worked at Disney! They either went through the Institute or they read a few books and think they’ve got Disney down…

Dennis is one of the genuine greats in the field.

His level of experience is rare. He worked his way through the ranks at Disney from ride operator to one of the top executives at Disney World. And he applies these principles in his own business every single day.

And you need his book!

I never give an endorsement for a book unless I’ve read it and found it absolutely useful. I’ve read Dennis Snow’s “Lessons from the Mouse” several times and I recommend it constantly.

Book Dennis to speak at your next event. Bring him in as a consultant. His Lessons from the Mouse will take you and your organization to new levels.

Tim Harrington is the Author of Eisenhower on Enlightened Leadership one of the most sought after speakers on leadership today.

Tim believes that leadership is a skill, not a talent, making it learnable rather than an inherent character trait. He teaches leaders to inspire through a shared vision so, in his words, people “carry out what you want them to carry out, not because you want them to but because they intrinsically want to.”

Today he’s the president of TEAM Resources, a firm that provides strategic planning, training, and consulting for financial institutions nationwide.
