Focus is powerful. Leaders who are thriving during this current season of uncertainty keep the best of their energy and attention leveraged in the same direction. There are few limits to what relentlessly focused leaders and teams can accomplish. The opposite is also true. Distracted leaders and teams, cause problems by taking their eyes away from where they should be focused, moving in a multitude of directions and accomplishing little. In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy exposes the warning signs that you may be a distracted leader.
“I wish we could just get back to normal!” Many leaders have made this statement since COVID-19 impacted America and turned the world upside down. It's hard for many of us to feel in control as the global pandemic drags on, leaving us longing for some sense of normal. Problem is, "normal" is average. Don't look to go back to normal, work to get better! In this episode, Shawn Lovejoy reflects on his own journey of "getting better" during the pandemic and the 4 key post-pandemic decisions he's made to help him improve his life, relationships, leadership and organization on the other side of COVID-19.

Every person on the globe has somehow been impacted by the COVID-19 Crisis. We've all felt the tension in our career, our health, our relationships, our bank account…the list goes on and on. When we made our personal resolutions and organizational plans for 2020, none of us knew this is what reality would look like only 4 months in. This has not been the year you or anyone expected. In this episode, Shawn Lovejoy walks you through what you should do when things have not met your expectations.
In this episode you're getting a sneak peak inside one of the Monday Coaching Calls hosted by Shawn Lovejoy. These calls occur each Monday and focus encouraging leaders and teams to the next level. On this call, Shawn was joined by best-selling author Jon Gordon to discuss “How To Be A More Resilient Leader.” Leaders need resilience. A leader's role doesn't allow for pessimism about the future—as the team takes cues from its leader about how to respond in difficult times. Individual and team resiliency is a vital component of ongoing high performance...especially in the COVID-19 Crisis. The most critical time for leadership isn't on the mountaintop, it's in the valley. Make sure resilience is a widespread team attribute, rather than a scarce one. Enjoy this episode, giving you an insider's look at the Monday Coaching Call.
There's a great opportunity for leaders right now. Opportunity to not only survive…and hang on… …but to thrive. Leaders who seize the opportunities a crisis presents will: Separate themselves from the competition with a different message of good news Discover new innovations only times of scarcity can present Reemerge stronger after the crisis by how they reimagine during crisis In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy shares practical ways to make the most of the opportunities before us during the COVID-19 Crisis.
You are one of the many courageous leaders who are adjusting to navigate the uncharted waters of the COVID-19 Crisis. Leading teams and organizations virtually, searching for new growth opportunities, and keeping things stabilized are all part of this new reality. I want to remind you of the #1 resource you have: People. People on your team and in your organization are, guess what…PEOPLE! That's right, they are not robots, they're human beings who have fears, concerns and emotions. You are the leader. During crisis leaders chart the course for the organization, care for the people inside of it, and communicate consistently to both. In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy shares 10 Things People Need From Leaders during the Covid-19 crisis, or any crisis you lead through.
No one knows how long COVID-19 Crisis will last. There's no fast-forward button. We can't cancel 2020. We can't hibernate until 2021. The only way out is through. To help you navigate this moment when most feel like they don't know what to do, Shawn Lovejoy sits down for a conversation on leading through crisis with Lee Domingue. Lee Domingue is an entrepreneur, international speaker, pastor and author of Pearls of the King and KB Gameplan. Lee draws his messages from decades of success in business in the financial technology, healthcare, and energy sectors as well as being dedicated study of God's Word, and committed service to his local church. His passion for the local church to be the hope of the world drives him to help thousands of pastors and marketplace leaders understand just how vital they are to each other. Only by effectively developing an intentional relationship will they reach the potential of their God-given destinies. Through his ministry, Kingdom Builders U.S., and serving as Legacy Pastor at Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, Alabama, Lee brings inspiration and practical strategies for pastors and marketplace leaders to understand the significant eternal return on investment or what he calls “e-ROI” that their relationship creates to build the Kingdom of God.
Great leaders are identified through crisis. At the time of this post, the COVID-19 Virus has been labeled a “pandemic”, businesses are suspending operations or working remotely, churches are scrambling to figure out how to hold gatherings, and America is essentially closed. It's in moments like this leaders rise up and lead. This type crisis brings pressure and pressure proves leaders. In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy covers the three requirements for leading through crisis.
Organizations go through a “life cycle.” On the heels of growth, some organizations continue to improve and scale. Others, however, experience plateau, continue to employ practices that no longer work and begin to normalize a lack of growth. Many of them remain stuck in this cycle of settling for the status quo if they don't employ one principle: Radical HONESTY. Honesty generates health both internally and externally. Organizations that stop growing stopped being honest somewhere along the way. In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy helps you both uncover and unleash the power of honesty in your organization. He gives the tools necessary to confront the brutal facts about ourselves and our market, positioning us to experience exponential growth.
Want to position your life and leadership for max growth? Guess what you DON'T NEED to make that happen... You don't need a new vision. The vision you have for your life and what you lead is just fine. What you do need is to just communicate the vision you have in the right way. We're here to help. In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy will help you find clarity and consistency in how you articulate the vision you have. Propel yourself, your team and your leadership forward with these few simple tweaks.
Are you the leader of the organization? If you answer, “Yes,” by title you may also qualify as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). However, being in charge doesn't necessarily make you the real leader. There's a difference between managing and leading. One is tactical. One is strategic. One causes you to plateau. The other keeps you out in front. You know who the real leader is in the organization? The Chief Learning Officer (CLO)! As the leader on your team, you must be learning more than anyone else! You must be growing more than anyone else. You must have scheduled, uninterrupted time to learn and grow. You must allocate time, energy, and resources for it! In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy highlights the differences between a CEO versus a CLO.
Change is hard because we often overestimate the value of what we have and underestimate what we might gain by giving that up. Living a life of impact requires taking some steps of faith. Fear of failure and fear of what we leave behind are often the deterrents keeping us from taking those steps towards a bigger dream. Let go of the familiar, let go of second guessing and walk into your “promised land.” In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy shares his story that's filled with leaps of faith and helps you identify areas in your life that may require the same!
When things aren't going as we want, it's easy to take a victim mentality and begin to think that we are solely a product of our circumstances. Successful leaders don't allow life to happen to them and then use that as an excuse. Failing to take responsibility for your actions almost never leads your life and leadership to the next level. Stop focusing on what you don't have and what you can't do. You aren't responsible for that. You are only responsible for what you have, and what you have is enough. In this episode of the CourageToLead Podcast, Shawn Lovejoy gives you the tools to experience max growth by refusing to be a victim and taking responsibility for your actions.
