Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the last of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today. In this episode we speak to the power and impact of being a courageous leader, and revisit key points of the series. In today's episode, we discuss: Being decisive and courageous is imperative to good leadership. Take the time to draw clear lines for your business and your team. Creating these boundaries ahead of moments under pressure will give security in the firm lines created. Show empathy and demonstrate compassion. This allows others to see you not as better, but as different. Being true to who you are takes courage. Revisiting Episode 1: Practice self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. Revisiting Episode 2: Understand the roles you played as a child. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's performance. Revisiting Episode 3: To be a standout, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the 3rd of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today. In this episode we speak to the power and impact of intentional communication and influence. In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in leading with influence. To be a stand out, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong. Intentional communication creates influence. Fergus tells us, “the most interesting people are the ones who are the most interested.” Listening is the very first communication skill. This has you fully planted in the moment, so you are able to understand what is really needed and where you can be of greatest value. Practice self awareness. Understanding your presence and how your demeanor influences is a key part of what allows you to have greater success and lasting impact. Find ways to assist your team to excel. This creates an environment of higher performance, and greater success that is sustainable.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach. We return to our series today with the intent of helping you to realize your leadership potential. We highlight the very real correlation between self-reflection and success, and the impact that addressing your limiting beliefs has on reaching your full potential. In today's episode, we discuss: There is great power in creating space for self-reflection. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's behavior. Intentionally setting roadblocks is imperative in leadership. Rather than relying on external factors for success, it forces one to be more mindful and self accountable. The transformation that takes place when you practice self-awareness. Creating space for self-awareness and reflection will help one to better understand how we react and respond in every interaction. Any and all success begins within. Fergus tells us that this is one of the most critical pieces in reaching your full potential. What's the role you played as a child? If you don't make peace with your natural inclinations when tensions arise, you miss the opportunity to learn, adjust, and grow.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, (one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance) and I launch a new series titled “Next Level Leader,” where we focus on, elevating your leadership in a meaningful, impactful, and sustainable way. All to assist you in advancing to the next level on your leadership journey. Highlighting the very real correlation between self awareness and success, and the impact that your personal leadership style offers. In today's episode, we discuss: The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. (mic drop) Making increased self-awareness the foundation that all future success stands on. The transformation takes place when you dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, curiosity opens doors to your brilliance and expands opportunities! There's not just one way to lead. Fergus tells us, “So many different leaders lead wonderfully in so many different ways.” What you do naturally is of great value. Rather than discounting what comes easiest to you, understand the importance and impact it offers. There is more value in what you do naturally than you think! Ongoing development is imperative in leadership. When you further develop areas and improve, you become a more resilient leader over time.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with with one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance, Fergus Connolly, Elite Performance Coach. He shares his story, how he helps top CEO's, Elite athletes, and Coaches (think, NBA, MLB, NFL…) around leadership, authenticity, and high performance. In today's episode, we discuss: To achieve elite levels of success you have to drop kick the advice of “Stay in Your Lane” to the curb. There is great power in asking questions and encouraging curiosity in regard to feeding your drive and finding solutions outside of your comfort zone.. Ask why, why, why in an attempt to understand the deeper meaning in every interaction. What we can do to be an elite performer in our own rite, and to refine what we do exceptionally well as we grow. The transformation that takes place when you have the courage to ask yourself who you want to be and where you want to go. Listen in to uncover the keys to self-motivation and achieving the highest level of performance!
