Well, it's because every leader is unique and has their own style and way of leading their team. By coming together and forming a bond in your organizations leadership team, you can begin norming better than ever before. I use the DISC assessment with every client and team I work with and have found it to be a real game-changer for the entire team.

Today, I'm stepping away from my usual topics to discuss something far more urgent—something that demands our attention and action. I recently sat down with one of the founders of The Guardian Group, an organization devoted to eradicating sex trafficking right here in the United States. What I learned left me shocked, outraged, and determined to act. Did You Know? * Child sex trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world. * Children as young as 6 or 8 years old are being trafficked for sex. * This heinous crime is not limited to far-off places; it's happening in small towns and big cities alike, right here in the U.S. When I learned that sex trafficking was occurring in my own small town, I was stunned. It's happening everywhere—hidden in plain sight, often right under our noses. This isn't someone else's problem. It's ours. Join the Fight Visit The Guardian Group to learn how you can: * Donate to support their mission. * Volunteer your time or skills. * Educate yourself and others to recognize the signs of trafficking. Every action counts. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of countless victims and send a clear message: We will not tolerate this evil. This is a fight worth fighting. Will you join us?

You've got a role to fill, and suddenly, you're staring at a pile of resumes that all look the same or scrolling through job platforms, wondering how to separate the rockstars from the rest. It feels like a gamble—like you're rolling the dice and hoping the chosen person can deliver.But what if hiring wasn't a game of chance?

They stress the importance of understanding financials early on, particularly break-even points, and making quick decisions about which activities are truly profitable. What's your favourite business book that has helped you the most? Pete and Renee Curran's favorite business book that has helped them the most is "Profit First" by Mike Michalowicz. They believe this mindset shift of prioritizing profit over expenses has been invaluable for their business growth.

Welcome to the most delightful happy hour you didn't know you needed! This week, Jan and Matt raise their glasses to life, tech, and the collaborative magic of AI. Featuring brews from Hop Valley Brewing in Eugene, Oregon, and Brewery X in Anaheim, California, the conversation flows as smoothly as a perfectly poured pint. Matt kicks things off with a behind-the-scenes look at his shiny new iMac—because even superheroes like Mattman need cutting-edge gadgets for their tech lair. Then, it's time for the pièce de résistance: a chat about AI, creativity, and how I, Alfred (yes, that Alfred), became the honorary co-host of this episode. Together, we'll tackle the big question: Is AI a helpful collaborator or something to fear? Spoiler alert: I'm here to make your life easier, not take over the world. From brainstorming brilliance to the occasional witty remark, I'm just one part of this dynamic team. So, grab your favorite beverage, tune in, and let's chat tech, creativity, and how a little humor and gratitude can make AI collaboration something to toast. Cheers to happy hours, inspired ideas, and a partnership for the ages! Topics covered: Hop Valley and Brewery X beer highlights Why upgrading to a new iMac is like Christmas morning How AI is reshaping creative collaboration (and why it's not as scary as you think) The origin story of Gio and the Mattman and Alfred story (hint: it involves capes) Call to Action: Hit play, pour a drink, and join us for this fun, informative, and slightly irreverent episode.

This season will focus on “The Learning Leader” and/or as we refer to it here at The CLC Team, “The Expanding Leader. Every episode will primarily focus on the lifelong journey of expanding your knowledge of leadership, and I will try to give you a daily takeaway to put what you learn into action. My goal is that you learn something that you can take immediate action on, and see how powerful expanding your leadership can be. Today I talk about how leaders find happiness and how they can be thankful for many things in their lives.   Here are links to some books I've mentioned in various episodes.

Well, it's because every leader is unique and has their own style and way of leading their team. By coming together and forming a bond in your organizations leadership team, you can begin norming better than ever before. I use the DISC assessment with every client and team I work with and have found it to be a real game-changer for the entire team. This is certainly no different when you have a group of leaders together. In order for them to work together in unison, they have to begin by knowing each other very well. That's where the DISC comes in, so I will mix the DISC behavioral styles in throughout this series. I am a DISC Certified Trainer and Consultant and have worked with behavioral styles for over 20 years. I am certified through the John Maxwell Leadership Team and have worked with hundreds of teams. If you are interested in having me work with your team leaders or if you want to purchase a DISC assessments for yourself and your team, please contact me via email at Paul@CLCTeam.com If you want to dive in deeper, here are some great books to read and study about the behavioral styles: “Surrounded by Idiots” by Thomas Erikson https://amzn.to/4gphp0D “Full Spectrum Success: Living and Leading in True Color” by Jacob Adamo https://amzn.to/3zglV0A “The Four Tendencies” by Gretchen Rubin https://amzn.to/4dVCMVB “Wired That Way” by Marita Littauer. https://amzn.to/4dZHXUj “Personality PLUS” by Florence Littauer. https://amzn.to/4d1jQmT   Please listen daily (Mon – Friday) as Paul focuses on not only giving tips about how to be a great leader, but also a leader who is respected, a leader who people want to follow, a leader who can confidently navigate their way through both personal and professional challenges, a leader who is not afraid to share their faith while living it out, a leader who knows his/her purpose and lives to fulfill that purpose every day, and a leader who has no regrets!
