I DARE you!

Today, I have a challenge for you. We heard it when we were kids. I dare you. And if you’re a fan of the beloved Christmas Story, I double dog dare you. If you really want to get down and dirty, I triple dog, dare you. Now you have no choice but to step up.

Be a CRISP Leader!

Today I’ll share one word to show up as a better leader? The word is crisp. We need to be crisp, on point, sharp. What does crisp stand for? C-R-I-S-P. C, confidence. As a leader, we must exude confidence. Confidence is an energy that people pick up on. You as an empowering leader transfer that

How to Hold Yourself Accountable

I had a conversation a few weeks back that got me thinking. The person I was speaking with seemed guarded—reluctant to engage, hesitant to respond, unwilling to commit to any clear thoughts or ideas. It was an uncomfortable exchange. And as I left, a question lingered: Why do people avoid accountability? Here are five ideas

It’s Not Theory—It’s Congruency

Today, I want to talk about something that’s not just important—it’s non-negotiable. Congruency. And let me be clear right out of the gate: this isn’t theory. When I became a business coach almost 13 years ago, I felt something shift. I had been given a responsibility—a quiet, unwritten commitment to show up as the very

What’s Your David?

Recently, I was having conversations with a couple of my clients, and an interesting pattern began to show up see if you can relate to this. In one conversation, we were reviewing his 2024-year-end numbers. Revenues, unfortunately, were flat where he was actually down a little less than 2%. However, his bottom-line net income had

Leadership – Clarity – Confidence – Connection – Results

The last few weeks, we talked about creating a solid culture. We talked about creating an amazing team checklist. We talked about leadership, management, and the skills we need to develop. We shared using assessments to understand people’s behaviors, communication and such. Today, I’m going to share how to bring that all together and what you’ll

Why Culture is Important

Why is company culture important? When I work with an organization, the first thing we work on, if it is not already in place, is a vision, mission, and culture. The vision is the big picture, the mission is how we get there, and the culture essentially represents the rules of the game that aligns the

Amazing Team Creation Checklist

I’ve created an amazing team creation checklist over the years of working as a business coach with leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and teams. It has six points. When you implement these six points in order, you’ll have a team that’s empowered, is aligned, has accountability, and will represent your company with class and confidence. They’ll
