Climbing the Mountain of Accountability is Not Going to be EasyHere is a fact that is never said about accountability… No one can hold anyone else accountable, you are only accountable to yourself.
We all talk about the importance of accountability. We think if we put someone in charge of another person, we will somehow motivate the through accountability.
But accountability must come from you. And we have to learn to climb the mountain of becoming more accountable to ourselves. In other words, you need to “Own your stuff!””
At the bottom of the mountain of accountability is oblivion, a lack of self-awareness that you are not holding your self accountable.
Followed by the next step blame, followed by excuses, it’s too hard until we get to the top that says, “I am the only thing that stands in the way of my success and happiness.
So are ready to reach success and happiness like you always desire? Then tune into this episode of A New Direction as Co-Author Salem Thyne talks to us about Nobody Cares…Until you do.
Salem Thyne and Robert Hunt’s book, “Nobody Cares (Until You Do): Living Beyond The Blame, Excuses and Doubts That Hold You Back” is the book for every person on the planet.
This book clearly and strongly makes the case that accountability is not going to be something that is shared between two people…accountability is something that is up to each one of us individually.
The authors use a mountain climb to explain the different levels we are mentally and emotionally at before we reach the summit of accountability.
For example, at the bottom of the mountain, we start with a lack of awareness that we are not accountable to ourselves.
Then we move to the next level, “blame”, then up a short level to “excuses”, then climbing to “it’s too hard”, followed up by “wait and hope” and the climb continues.
As you begin to let go of these traits one by one, we slowly become more self-accountable. And with that accountability comes freedom. Freedom to choose how we want to live, because we own it.
Throughout the book there are “Accountability Exercises” that will help yo dig deep into you, to help you navigate the climb.
This book is so good. Just do not buy it for yourself, buy it for your employees too.
Remember, if we don’t hold ourselves accountable, then any other attempts are accountability are nothing more than manipulation and micromanagement. Because no one can hold us accountable.
And by the way Nobody Cares…Until You Do!

Your Leadership Can Become Dull Like a Knife in Your Home…You Need Some Honing Steal to Sharpen it.Leadership is never something we can fully master. It is an elusive journey to keep growing and going.
Many times as leaders, we can get into a rut in our leadership. We can get stagnant. For whatever reason, our leadership has become bland.
Then there are those that we lead. Perhaps they have lost faith in our leadership ability. For whatever reason, the followers don’t have the same energy around our initiatives.
Like a once sharp knife, our leadership has become dull. We need honing steel to sharpen our leadership. Where do you find that?
In this episode of A New Direction, Major General John Granski (RET’d) joins us to talk about his little book entitled, “Leadership Sharpeners – Leading as an Iron-Sharpened Leader”.
General Gronski’s new pocket book, “Leadership Sharpeners – Leading as an Iron-Sharpened Leader” is a must-have for every person.
This is a small compact powerhouse leadership book that will engage you, inspire you, and if you will consistently follow the chapters in this book will change into the leader your followers always hoped you would be.
General Gronski, combines his passion for leadership with outstanding research and his experience as a U.S. Army Major General to give us the most valuable nuggets to be a great leader.
One of the most fantastic things about this pocket book is that he takes ideas that normally would be used in the military and as he says “civilianizes” it.
The book is a great combination of practical and thought-provoking. Dealing with everything from your mindset to your behavior.
A perfect book for anyone, whether you are in leadership or aspire to grow as a leader in your business or family.

How to Have Conversations that Really Change You and Your Business.Whether in life or business, relationships are important to our success. And relationships are built on our conversations.
If our conversations are not authentic, trusting, safe, have commitment, and accountability, we will not build strong relationships.
The fact is that we often take our conversations for granted. We would like to believe that we are communicating clearly, but our own biases actually keep us from being as productive as we need to be.
So what is the answer? In this episode of A New Direction, Best-selling author Douglas Squirrel (a.k.a. Squirrel) returns to join us to dig into his best-selling book, Agile Conversations.
Get ready because Squirrel is going to help you change conversations that will create more productivity that translates into more profitability.
Douglas Squirrel’s co-authored book “Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture” is not difficult to do, but is difficult to commit too.
What do I mean? What Squirrel is asking you to do is actually quite easy, but it is the willingness of the participants involved with the conversation that make this so hard.
Each person must be committed to the process. You must be intentional in your behavior and action. But the results are phenomenal.
The fact is, if any single one of us wants to improve, we have to do things that are uncomfortable. If you want your business or life to improve, then having these conversations in this way take work and effort.
However, we all know the results of hard work and effort…change, productivity, and from a business perspective that leads to profitability.
Agile Conversations is a fantastic book, I have read it twice. And I have to say it has made me more aware of my own conversational shortcomings and where I need to improve both personally and professionally.
Great book, you can but it from Amazon.

The post Conversations That Will Change Things appeared first on Jay Izso.
5 Conversations That Will Change YouWe all say, “communication is important.” The problem is, we still do not communicate all that effectively.
If we did, our personal and professional relationships would be so much more effective and efficient.
What is the biggest problem with our communication? It is ourselves.
We either do not have the right conversations, do not focus on the right part of the conversations, or we will not have the hard or difficult conversations.
What is more we are often times hypocritical. We think one thing and say another. We make judgements without full knowledge. We make assumptions about the other person.
When you think about the conversations you have at home or at work, your thoughts are often not matching your words. You are not saying what you really mean…
And hence a conversation was had, but there are no results. And our conversations should bring both alignment and change. How do we change that?
Fortunately for all of us, Best Selling Author Douglas Squirrel joins us on A New Direction to talk help us with the 5 Conversations we need to have for real change. From his book “Agile Conversations”.
Douglas Squirrel’s book, “Agile Conversations: Transform Your Conversations, Transform Your Culture” is absolutely one of the best books on conversation you will read.
Agile Conversations is not for the faint of heart. In fact, I will tell you this book is going to require you to do work. And the work starts with you. It is emotional work. And it is not easy.
This book lays out a complete and comprehensive strategy that if you will follow it, practice it, and continue to practice will change every conversation you have both personally and professionally.
If you follow the guidelines and the outlines in Agile Conversations, it will single-handedly improve your relationships, conquer conflict, make your business more productive and ultimately more profitable.

Motivation: How Do You Create It for Yourself and Your Team?Motivation. There are a ton of theories that exist. Some theories suggest that motivation comes from within, others suggest motivation can be inspired from others.
Regardless of what camp you fall into, there is one thing that has stood that test of time and that is “Prospect Theory” which was coined by Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman in 1979.
This theory of motivation still holds true today. The fact is are motivated to avoid pain and also motivated to seek pleasure. And when you can combine the two, motivation will be at it’s peak.
In this episode of A New Direction, #1 Best-Selling author and actor Terry Fossum returns to talk to us about how we directly apply “Prospect Theory” through what he calls “The Oxcart Technique”.
Terry will take us through the scenarios, both personally and for your team. You will want to join us LIVE right here for this practical application of The Oxcart Technique.
The Oxcart Technique: Blueprint for Success is on the Wall Street Journal and USA Today is on the #1 Best Selling Books for a reason…It’s that great!
This book is a life-changing book. Not because you read it, because if you follow the prescription that Terry Fossum lays it, you will in fact be more successful.
This book is a step-by-step practical guidance based on “Prospect Theory” from Nobel Prize winning researcher Daniel Kahneman.
The book not only is a guide, but is also filled with examples of how to successfully implement The Oxcart Technique for business, marriage, addiction, individuals and teams.
One of the best book I have read. I recommend it not only that you read it, but you take action on it. It will in fact change you!

Being Intentional Creates Success in Life and Business!Would you like to be more successful in both your life and your business?
What does that word “success” mean to you, really? Whatever it means to you personally, would you like to improve upon it?
The answer is “YES”! We all want to be more successful in life and business. A great deal has been said, about success, but maybe there is another way you have not thought about.
Being more intentional.
Then add to that practical action, and you have a winning formula for greater success in every area of your life and business.
On this episode of A New Direction Stu Crum former standout collegiate kicker, and drafted by the NFL and USFL and successful executive with Texaco, Shell, Jiffy Lube, Bridgestone and other major corporations, joins us to help you and I learn through intention and practical application how we can achieve greater success in every area of our life.
Stu Crum’s book, “Aim for the Uprights: The Intentional Playbook for Success in Faith, Family, and Business” is the story of Stu Crum’s life from being an NFL desired Kicker from University of Tulsa to Boardroom Executive and CEO of major corporations.
While Stu Crum‘s story is filled with personal and professional challenges, great highs and painful events, he lives a life on purpose and with intention. And that is the point of his book.
He creates for us a playbook he calls “The Intentional Playbook”. And at the end of each chapter, Stu Crum gives you and I practical tips on how to change our mindset and our behavior.
As you read the book and apply the practical lessons Stu Crum teaches you and me, it becomes clearly evident that he is not asking us to do anything outside our ability, but is asking us to take small steps that lead to greater success.
Regardless of your age, or where you are in life personally or professionally, “Aim for the Uprights” will be a game changing book that will increase your success.

Can Your Business Run without You?As I am writing this, I had just finished talking to an entrepreneur/business owner who said, “I’ve got too much on me… And only I can do it.”
So often, the very thing that they created for freedom from having to work for someone else becomes the very thing the imprisons you.
Because you have become the very center of your business, everything revolves around you. It’s all about you. And when that happens, you don’t have a business to sell, because it can’t run without you.
You come to realize that you don’t run your business, it runs you. You are no longer working on the business because you’re working in it.
There must be an answer to grow and be able to expand your business without being so dependent on you.
And that is where Best-selling author and U.S. Marine Richard Walsh comes in on this episode of A New Direction for Part 2 of “Escape from Owner’s Prison”.
Richard Walsh book “Escape the Owner’s Prison” is a no nonsense read that gets right to the point of practical guidance to help you have a business that does not feel like a prison from the rest of your life.
Escape the Owner’s Prison is straight talk about hiring, firing, marketing, and more. However, the point of the book is being able to create the margins you need to be successful in business and have a life.
The book takes you through stages of growth and what you need to know to at every stage, so that you don’t lose yourself in the prison of your own business.
Great book! Get your copy by clicking Escape the Owner’s Prison.

Leading Change in Your Business or OrganizationChange is inevitable. It’s one of the guarantees we have in life. Even in our businesses and organizations, we must deal with change.
The fact is no one likes change. We have a built-in mechanism to resist it. On some level, change violates our sense of comfort and freedom.
If you are in leadership, what can you do to help make the change in your organization smoother? How can you help make change not so overwhelming?
In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling author Mindy Vail joins us to talk about her groundbreaking book on leading change…”The Mindshift Effect“.
Get your pen and pencils out and get ready to take notes it’s going to be a practical lesson in leading change.
Mindy Vail’s book, “The MindShift Effect: Where Change Management is Redefined and Leadership is Refined” is a practical guide and toolkit for leading change in any organization of any size.
Mindy leads in the Introduction of the book by explaining that to this point much of the work on Leading and Managing Change is very academic and there is a need to understand these concepts in an easy-to-understand manner.
She accomplishes this brilliantly in The Mindshift Effect, as she takes concepts and theories and explains them in terms that will help any leader at any level be able to better manage the change in the organization.
The fact is that change is inevitable, and you as a leader need to deal with change, but your people will be resistant to change because it is what our brain naturally does. Hence, overcoming that for your organization becomes the challenge.
Mindy Vail, gives you specific ideas and tools that you can use that help you be a more transparent and authentic leader that will help your people adjust to change more quickly.
The Mindshift Effect one of those books you will want to keep on your bookshelf and refer to time and time again. The information is invaluable and what is more you will be able to use it immediately.

Owners Prison: 3 Levels to Breaking FreeIf you are an owner of a company there is one thing that is absolutely true. You are responsible for everything! There is always a fire. And there are no days off.
But is that the way it should be? When entrepreneurs start with an idea, they want to change the world, but as the owner of their own company eventually they make themselves a prisoner to their own ideas.
And when you are in owners’ prison, we shut out the world around us. Our families are sacrificed. Our friends are left behind. And our time is determined by the very thing we own and created.
What are we to do? How can we free ourselves from owners’ prison? Is there any hope for owners’ freedom? The answer is, YES!
In this episode of A New Direction, U.S. Marine, Champion Boxer, Black belts, entrepreneur and best-selling author Richard Walsh joins us to tell you his story of losing it all and regaining his freedom.
This show is going to be so good. Listen in and enjoy.
Richard Walsh’ book, “Escape the Owner Prison: The Contractors new way to scale, regain control and fast track growth while loving life” is a phenomenal guide to helping every entrepreneur start up and get growing.
The book comes from the point of view of Richard Walsh’ failure and how rebuilt himself as an entrepreneur and owner and yet excel as a husband, and father, and living a life of freedom.
Every chapter of this book has something practical for you to think through. Whether that be how you think about money, how you hire, branding, marketing, your value and worth, and so much more!
This book is an outstanding guide to building your business from the ground up, sustaining and developing your exit.
This book has tremendous value and I believe it should be for every entrepreneur whether they are starting or have been years in the business.

Breaking the Procrastination HabitLet’s be honest there are things that you don’t want to do, that you know you should do, but don’t do. And the reasons are many.
You may say, “I don’t procrastinate, I never do that in my job”! Okay, well how’s that eating right thing going for you? How about those workouts you said you would do…someday.
Oh how about not eating sugar, quitting drinking, stopping fast food, going to the doctor, learning a foreign language, an instrument, going to counseling, hiring a coach you need. Yep you put it off…that’s procrastination.
In this episode of A New Direction #1 International Best-Selling Self-Help Author Scott Allan joins us to help you break the HABIT! Yes, the Habit of Procrastination.
Scott Allan‘s book “Do the Hard Things First: How to Win Over Procrastination and Master the Habit of Doing Difficult Work” is a complete toolkit to overcome procrastination.
Do the Hard Things First (DTHTF) starts by taking a deep dive into what procrastination is and why we do it.
Scott, wants all of us to start with a clean slate when it comes to this particular challenge, and part of that clean slate is stepping into forgiveness. Forgiving yourself and your past.
Then Scott moves us to 22 steps that you can take to begin the process, and he notes it is a process of getting ourselves in a position where we are doing the more difficult tasks first, rather than those things that have very little pay off.
These steps are not all required. In fact, you can pick as many as you want that work for you.
I highly recommend you take a look at his step of the 80/20 Pareto Principle as a way to overcome Procrastination and the Premack Principle and Bundling.
If you struggle having the hard conversations, or putting them off, or not dealing with your finances, writing that book you threatened to write or something else. This book will be a refreshing help for you.

How Navy SEALs and Entrepreneurs Bend & Break the Rules for Results!Get a job at any business and the first thing you are told is the rules. “This is how we do things here.”
As we age we get even more rule oriented. Less dreaming, less risk taking, less creative thinking, and God forbid that you should challenge convention.
The fact is we are a rules driven society. The fact is those that disagree with you, want to impose their rules on YOU, so you will do as they say and wish.
And yes the military has a set of established rules, but one thing that may surprise you is when you are in “unconventional warfare” units, like the Navy SEALs you have to take a more unconventional, creative approach. And yes, even at times the rules of warfare are completely thrown out the window.
How about you? Are you willing to “break” the rules of the game? How about “bend” the rules? Or maybe ignoring them altogether so you can achieve real results?
On this episode of A New Direction Retired Navy SEAL Marty Strong joins me to get outside of the norm, disrupt standard thinking and embrace change, and bolster creativity.
Marty’s book, “Be Different: How Navy SEALs and Entrepreneurs Bend, Break, or Ignore the Rules to Get Results!” is a mindset changer.
Marty Strong takes examples of his different roles as a Navy SEAL combat veteran, and instructor, and his different roles as a Business owner and Entrepreneur and trains us how to start thinking differently.
And that is the crux of this book. Think differently, and in order to think differently one must think creatively.
To begin thinking creatively Marty Strong gives us the history of how it is against our norm to think differently. We have been conditioned and trained to live by rules, to be obedient. Not make waves.
However, it is in our wave making creative thinking where we will find the greatest results. It is where your profits will be. It is where life takes on purpose and meaning.
Marty also cautions however, that when you start thinking differently, and take action on your thinking get ready for “blowback”. Get ready for the “naysayers”. Get ready to be shunned. You will need a thick skin.
At the end of it all when your thinking and action is different it is where you will find your authenticity and success. I highly recommend this book!

Resilience, You, Your Work, and Your LifeMore and more people in the workforce including executives are starting to realize the toll that wellness, stress, and severe health issues are taking on their jobs and their families.We all feel it, and we need answers. And that is where this week’s book Resilience @ Work comes in.Four people sit around a fire at the beach after taking lessons to learn to surf. These people are as different as you and me and carry with them their different personalities.First there is Hurry, he is a hard worker, always on the go, but as the waves of work get higher and higher, for every step he takes, he gets blown back by the waves 3 steps back.Always trying the next “Get Rich Quick” Scheme, he doesn’t have the resilience to take the long view.Then there is Worry, she is filled with anxiety, she feels her life has little meaning and as the bills pile up, she feels she is drowning in the sea of “no hope”.Always worried about her appearance in front of others, she lacks the resilience to be her authentic self.Next comes Steady, she reads the waves an knows when to paddle and to ride them. She is agile and adaptable. But she was not always that way because she had to do a ton of work on herself to get her to this point.Finally, there is Ready, the eldest of the four. He found his purpose at a young age, but he neglected it. And after floundering around in the sea of life he finally has come to understand that he had these gifts all along, but simply was not using them.Do any of these four people sound like you? Perhaps there is a piece of all of them that you can relate to.In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author Simon T. Bailey takes well written book and assessment to help you discover who you are, and how you can help yourself become and live as the authentic person you created to be that will give you the greatest opportunity for success.Simon T. Bailey‘s book, “Resilience @ Work: How to Coach Yourself into a Thriving Future” is an insightful book into ourselves through the perspective of 4 people named Hurry, Worry, Steady, and Ready.Each person has their own story and are in different places in life trying to find their authenticity and purpose.The book is a powerful allegory, filled with thought provoking moments that enlighten the reader to ask themselves to be more open to where they are at.As the book journeys on the reader experiences the impact of the fire side discussions between the members of the group and how they each move toward a new direction in their life and future.This book although very different gave me the feel of the best-selling book “Who Moved My Cheese”. I will say that this book dives much deeper.
In addition, this book also comes with assessments so that you can get sense of who you are in the story and perhaps where you need to get some help and go to work on you.
Great book click here to get your copy of Resilience @ Work by Simon T. Bailey, I highly recommend it!

Your Energy Determines Your SuccessEvery single day we bring some sort of energy in to our work place, home, and every conversation.
Our energy is rarely if ever neutral. In fact, it typically is either destructive, or constructive. And that energy comes at different levels.
But…what if we could harness the constructive energy, and understand that even destructive energy could have a place and purpose?
And what if we could control the right level of energy that could powerfully influence productivity, change a habit, and increase motivation? Would that interest you?
Well on this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling Author Rebecca Ahmed joins to talk about her latest book The Energy of Success.
It’s so good and you are going to walk away with knowledge and tools you never had before.
Rebecca Ahmed’s book, “The Energy of Success: Power Up Your Productivity, Transform Your Habits, and Maximize Workplace Motivation” is a fantastic read.
The book is an eye opener, as it helps the reader become more self-aware of what type of energy you are bringing into the lives of others, as well as, what level of energy are you using.
The fact is your energy is either destructive or constructive. And depending on your level of constructive energy you may not be as constructive as you could be. Meaning you have some limitations.
As Rebecca Ahmed walks us through the 7 levels of energy from “Safety” to “Climax” we find that we all are in a constant state of growth should we choose to level up, or we can remain stagnant in our energy level and never achieve the level of success we have the potential for.
The book is an outstanding read, full of practical guidance on how to level up your energy. Order your copy of The Energy of Success right here!

You Need to Find Your Authenticity to Find PurposeThe famous sociologist Erving Goffman in his dramaturgical theory suggested that we are all actors on a stage, and we wear masks so people will perceive us the way we want them to perceive us.
In today’s world and the party that is social media we see more masks as people present themselves behind screens where we often will not see the truth of who they are.
And if we cannot be true to who we are, that is, be authentic, then how can we truly live our purpose? The answer is we cannot.
So many of us do not live a life with purpose, much less on purpose. We simply go through life as if it is purposely living from one vacation to the next.
Isn’t it time we lived a life of purpose on purpose? To help us understand how we might do that, we bring in best-selling author Randy Adkins Jr. on this episode of A New Direction. JOIN US Right HERE…and start living your life on purpose.
Randy Adkins book, “Produce on Purpose: Experience Life Being the Real You” is a spiritual and deep look at how your authenticity leads to your purpose.
At the end of each chapter Randy asks some deeper questions to help you along the journey to discover who you really are and what you are created to do.
The big AHA moment is when you realize that you will have a difficulty discovering your purpose if you do not live authentically from your true self.
The book uses the analogy of going to a masquerade party where we all where masks and Randy helps us to remove them and set us on the path.
Like so many people in today’s society we are not comfortable in our own skin. And thanks to the like of social media, we feel pressure to be someone else than we truly are.
Once we live authentically, then pursuing purpose becomes easier, as we are able to look at our God give natural talents, gifts, and abilities that lead to what our mission is and live it intentionally.
Truly an inspiring book, and one that truly begs the questions, “what is life really about and what is my place in it”?

60% of Sales People Never Meet Their Quota…The Question is “why” and what Can You as a Sales ManagerDo about it?Did you know that 60% of sales people never reach their sales quota?
You may think it’s 50/50 but in fact most do not make their sales quota. Why?
This is the frustration for many CEO’s and sales managers. It is the question of how do we improve our salespeople?
The first look is often and probably should be the sales team manager. They are like a coach of a sports team. They often get too much blame and the eyes of the sale staff, they can get too much credit.
Okay so what does a great sales manager do to help get their sales to excel?
Well in this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author, Veteran Sales Success Expert and Sales Whisperer (I call him that) Steve Weinberg joins us to get us “Above Quota Sales Managment: Tips and Techniques to Get the Best Out of Your Sales Team”.
You will not want to miss Steve’s practical insights, from his years of experience and research.
Steve Weinberg’s new book, “Above Quota Sales Managment: Tips and Techniques to Get the Best Out of Your Sales Team” is an absolute must read!
The book is a culmination of Steve’s successful experience as salesperson who has closed over $500 million dollars in sales, and research in the field.
Above Quota Sales Management is a practical guide and handbook for those who truly want to either change the direction of their sales team or want the best out of them.
The book dives into areas that typical sales books do not. Talking about the change in what sales managers do, and how the interact with their salespeople, dealing with the personalities of a buyer, understanding the nature of personal assistants who are protecting the decision makers and more!
Great book get your copy from Amazon or wherever books are sold.

But one of the ways you can get through it is when you are able to talk with the people who have done it and done it successfully.

14 Mindsets and Behaviors to Live Your Most Successful LifeWe all have different definitions of what a successful life looks like. But there are specific ways of thinking and acting that lead to a more successful life.
So why do people not make these changes if that means a more successful life is in store?
It really comes down to one thing…a resistance to change. Sadly we have all developed patterns of thinking, believing, and behaving that even though they may not be good for us…we are reluctant to change.
In this episode of A New Direction Best-Selling Author Rand Selig joins us again to dig deeper into the changes that we all can make to live our most successful life.
From his book “Thriving”, this is a show that if you will follow Rand’s guidance will lead you to the place you dreamed of being.
Rand Selig’s book, “Thriving!: How to Create a Healthier, Happier, and More Prosperous Life” is a complete book into living a truly more successful life.
Thriving! is in my opinion one of the most comprehensive books on how to live a successful life on the market today.
The book covers everything from building your character, to improving your relationship with your self to handling aging and death.
The book also covers how to deal with others, how to manage ourselves and others. Finding purpose and meaning and so much more!
If you are ready to live a thriving successful life, then you need a copy of Thriving!

The Art and Science of 1:1 MeetingsThat Build Productivity and SuccessHow many times have you heard, “we have too many meetings”? How much thought have you given to that statement?
Let me ask you this if the meetings were both personally and professionally meaningful to you, and they were productive would you say the same thing? Probably not.
Then there is the 1:1 meeting. Sadly, when we think about those meetings since they happen typically so infrequently, we often dread them. Because when we are asked to come into the office for a 1:1 it is not usually good news.
What if we changed all that? What if we did more frequent 1:1s that actually were planned. That could be fulfilling, life changing, business changing, and would improve both the employee and the employer?
Well, that is exactly what we are going to dig into on this episode of A New Direction with Organizational Psychologist and Meeting Expert Dr. Steven Rogelberg and his latest book “Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings”.
Steven Rogelberg’s book, “Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings” is by far one of the best books on how to have successful 1:1 meetings.
This book is for mangers and their direct reports, owners and their employees, C-suite professionals and their employees, consultants, coaches, and anyone else who is trying to improve.
The science behind “Glad We Met” is thorough and puts teeth behind many of the thoughts, words, and phrases we use everyday when it comes to creating meetings that have meaning and move the needle when it comes the people we work with.
The book is not a dry read. In fact Steven Rogelberg makes “Glad We Met” and enjoyable read with his wit and humor.
The bonus of this book is that Steven provides questions, assessments, and guides to help you make you 1:1 meetings the best that they can be.
Please note that ALL proceeds from “Glad We Met” go to cancer research in support of Steven’s sister-in-law. I personally believe it is a must read!

There’s a New ROI in Town and It’s Called Return on IndividualsThere is a saying in business that goes “You can’t manage what you can’t measure”.
I would also add, “You can’t manage what you cannot define”.
Are people valuable? Are not your employees people?
And yet the fact is we manage people, but what is their measurement?
What number do you put on an employee that determines if they are valuable or not valuable?
But can you run your business without employees? What’s the cost of losing an employee? What’s the cost of a great employee to your business?
There is much to be said that “engaged” employees create more profit…but how do we define “engaged” employees?
Then it has been said that “happy” employees are more productive, but this too begs the question…how do we define a “happy” employee?
If we want to measure employee “happiness” or “engagement” we must do it is such away that the average person off the street can come into any office and say, “ah, that’s a happy employee” or “that’s an engaged employee.
So, it still begs the question…what is the ROI of your employees?
Clearly there is a lot of work to do, and there are some answers we need to try to define.
In this episode of A New Direction Business Valuation Expert and Corporate Financial Executive Dave Bookbinder joins us to take us on a journey of the many experts he has interviewed to help us find the elusive ROI…and help us define these elusive yet important terms.
Return On Individuals
Dave Bookbinder’s book, “The NEW ROI: Return on Individuals: Going Behind the Numbers” is a book of interviews that Dave conducted on his show entitled “Behind the Numbers”.
The book is an eclectic culmination of different perspectives of quantifying the importance of human capital.
The fact is we all know the people in our business are fundamental to success, but how do we go about measuring that in a way that is clear, standardized and makes sense.
Further how do go about defining operationally terms like “engagement” and “happy” when it comes to employees.
The book really has some strong key themes, such as the importance of culture and it’s effect on employees, the impact of leadership on employees, the employee environment, and philosophies from business owners on how to get the most of employees and keep them.
All in all, The New ROI is a very solid book that understands the importance of employee contribution but opens of the door to a ton of questions of how to define it and measure it.
And it is having those thoughts and discussions that make the book very provoking.
The New ROI is a starting point and catalyst for change. Great read!

Want to be an Entrepreneur…It’s about your mindsetSo many of us dream of being a successful entrepreneur.
There is such an allure of owning your own business, being in control of your destiny, and knowing it is yours has quite the appeal.
And while most all of us have had dreams of being an entrepreneur, most of us will not do it.
Why? Because to be a successful entrepreneur requires a change in mindset. And not just one, but many mindsets.
First, you have to be willing to have the mindset of being a risk taker, and then you need to take action on.
You also need to have a different attitude, have a different money mindset, changing your mindset of leadership, building a presence and more.
And in this episode of A New Direction Dr. Charlene Walters joins us to talk about her latest book, “Launch Your Entrepreneur”.
If you have thought about becoming an entrepreneur and have wondered what it will take to be successful, then you will want to join us right here!
Charlene Walter’s Book, “Launch Your Inner Entrepreneur” is in my opinion one of the most comprehensive books on how to become a successful entrepreneur.
The book is based on 10 mindsets that every aspiring entrepreneur must have. And starts with the first mindset of “Taking Action”.
The book moves us through specifics such as dealing with your own financial mindset, personal branding, social media, and so much more.
Dr. Walters digs deep into issues that every entrepreneur faces such as imposter syndrome, being in competition, the struggle with selling, grit, resiliency, self-sabotage and a number of psychological and emotional issues.
As you can tell nearly everything is on the table to discuss in Launch Your Inner Entrepreneur.
And do not let the subtitle fool you…this book is literally for everyone!

Having a Creator Mindset that Will Change Your Business and Your LifeIt seems you can look at nearly any online magazine or traditional magazine or newspaper and somewhere you are going to see the words AI…Artificial Intelligence.Sadly the world of AI and our own laziness is robbing us one of the most fundamental and superior abilities we have over the AI/Computer world…our creativity.We have lost our “Creator Mindset”. What is the “Creator Mindset” you eagerly ask?It is opening your mind to the fact that we all have creative abilities. That within you is a creator and a creator mindset that you can bring into your business and life.And in this episode of A New Direction The Creator Mindset author Nir Bashon joins us to help you reopen your mind to being the creative creator you always have been.Nir Bashan’s book, “The Creator Mindset: 92 Tools to Unlock the Secrets to Innovation, Growth, and Sustainability” is literally for every person and every business.
He dispels all the myths that most people have around creativity and explains in a clear practical way how any of us can begin to be more creative.
Nir also addresses the issue of AI and creativity and dismantles the idea that AI can on some fashion replace the creativity of humans. It simply cannot. AI can be a tool, but not a replacement for our creativity.Near also addresses a number of psychological issues when it comes to creativity, right brain/left brain, listening, negativity, and our ego for just a few.The book will change you.

Business Kung Fu – 5 Elements that Will Change Your BusinessWhen you think about business and entrepreneurial success and what it takes to get there, the principles of the fighting style Kung Fu probably do not come to mind.But if you think about it a bit more deeply when you consider it what it takes to become proficient in a fighting style like Kung Fu, your business often will have a similar path.You start off by doing the things you don’t necessarily enjoy doing. You grind out tirelessly having to put in the work. Most of the time the work you put in is preparation for your future.The fact is in the beginning of your business that you are in you are not ready for the fight. In the beginning is the training so you can learn how to fight and take on your opponent.In this episode of A New Direction best-selling author, award winning entrepreneur, and speaker Craig Cooke joins us to talk through some of the elements of his latest book “Business Kung Fu: Modern Strategy | Ancient Truth”Craig Cooke’s book: “Business Kung Fu: Modern Strategy, Ancient Truth, Your Success” is a fascinating read.
Craig Cooke takes his experience in martial arts and makes a clear connection between Kung Fu and Business.
The biggest connection is that like learning Kung Fu when you start a business you are going to be doing things that you don’t want to do. And you will spend hours doing it.
One of the biggest eye opening parts of Business Kung Fu is how Craig takes the classic Chinese 5 Element Theory and relates it to the 5 fundamental elements of business and entrepreneurship.
Those being, Passion, Discipline, Expertise, Confidence and Faith and then back to Passion again.
What is so interesting about these 5 elements and how they lead to one another they can either spiral you up or they can spiral you down when you don’t have these elements.The book is a very fast read, but the mindset lessons are powerful and are needed in today’s fast paced business world.
Also, look out for Preparing to Fight. Like in Kung Fu, you have to train to be in a fight, and the truth is you have to prepare to be in a fight in business as well.
Great read, I highly recommend it!Please say thank you to the sponsors of A New Direction:

How Will You Become Invaluable?What is your worth? Do you know your true value? How are you measuring it? Is it money? A title? Stuff? Does it go deeper? Are you invaluable?
And what is your purpose? Do you know what it is? How about your values? Can you list them off? Would those that know you agree? Again, finding your purpose and knowing your core values, contributes to becoming invaluable.
The fact of the matter is these questions are so important. Do others find you “Invaluable”…or could they live without you?
Let’s get “Invaluable”! Let’s make such a positive impact on the world that the world can’t live without us. Such an impact that our business cannot live without us. Such an impact that the community can’t live without you.
How? Well, in this episode of A New Direction best-selling author Steven J. Bowen and Dr. Terry Lyles give us the 9 Attributes that when followed will make you invaluable and create a life of fulfillment and meaning and make you the leader people desire.
Steven J. Bowen and Dr. Terry Lyles’ book, “Becoming Invaluable: Develop the Willitude to Navigotiate Success” is a must read for everyone.
If you have ever questioned your self-worth, if you have ever thought that there is more to life than where you are right now, Becoming Invaluable will be “Invaluable”.
The book asks starts with a basic question: “what do you think is the highest calling in life you can have?” Then as the bedrock to answering that question moves us into knowing our purpose and values.
From there the authors help us understand that by working on 9 attributes we can develop ourselves to Becoming Invaluable.
Those 9 Attributes are:
- Knowledge
- Skills
- Attitude
- Health
- Strength
- A set of values to guide you in the right direction.
- A purpose in life.
- A sense of willitude.
- The ability to navigotiate
And if you are not sure what “Willitude” and “Navigotiate” are they are keys to you Becoming Invaluable.
This is great book, one that I will keep on the shelf and remind myself that my self-worth is not in question because I do have value and I am constantly striving to becoming invaluable.

Moving Past Your Past So You Can Move Forward in Your LeadershipMost of us have a tendency to ignore our past. We try to make light of it as if it has no effect on us. Here is an undeniable truth, your past is affecting your leadership.
You cannot escape that fact that how you lead is a result of the way you were raised. And while for many of you there may have been much good, because our brains are wired for negativity it is those negative things in our past that we carry into our businesses every day that keep us from being the leaders we could be.
In this episode of A New Direction Serial Entrepreneur Jeff Giagnocavo current Co-Owner of Gardner’s Mattress & More talks about how by being honest about his abuse as a child affected his life and leadership.
This is one of the most powerful, honest, books I have read on leadership development.
Jeff’s book “The Space for Leadership: Lessons for who you can be, regardless of who you were” is a power packed book.
Jeff tells us about his childhood abuse and how by dealing with his past that he was able to become a more effect leader.
Each chapter has a powerful leadership lesson that comes out of his journey of healing. His story challenges all of us to take a closer look at our past and discover those things that are holding us back from being the shield we need to be to those we lead.
The book implores us to take a deeper dive into ourselves, and become more vulnerable about who we were and who we are and who we can become. Get your self a copy of The Space for Leadership.

The Alchemy of Successful SalesWhen it comes to being successful in sales it takes a little knowledge from many disciplines. It is a little science. It is also a bit of art. Then let’s not forget the disciplines of psychology and philosophy.
And for many people they may say there is a little magic too. In fact, one could say that to be successful in sales is little alchemy.
What can you do to improve your ability to be more successful in sales. In this episode of A New Direction Senior Vice President of Sales for Madison Global, Judd Weisgal rejoins us to talk about how he trains his salespeople to sell to fortune 500 companies.
Judd Weisgal has 25 years in sales, is the Senior Vice President of Sales for Madison Global, leads a sale team of nearly 100 people and sells himself.
In this episode we walk through the sales cycle from prospecting to referrals, whether you are in B2C or B2B sales.
Judd further discusses how there is a movie version of sales and then there is what it takes to be successful in sales.
Things we learn in this episode:
It’s not about your personality.
It’s not ABC but AAV (Always Add Value).
You have to have some perseverance.
How can you serve and help.
Successful sales is like dating and then getting married.
And so much more! Are you ready to become more successful in your career? Or perhaps you lead a team and maybe it’s time to change tactics. Or maybe your methods need to be updated.
Join us for a powerful show that will boost your sales and make you more successful.

We All Will Experience Imposter Syndrome, but How do We get Through it?Imposter syndrome is real. You may be reading this right now and realize that you have some parts of your life you are living as an imposter.
Most often we think of “imposter syndrome” in our work. When we have taken a task, and we believe we are not qualified or competent to do the job.
But imposter syndrome is really about authenticity. Are we living the life from an authentic place or because we want to people please, fear looking weak, do we live in the world as an imposter?
The fact is imposter syndrome can show up in many different ways: Workaholism, Perfectionism, People pleasing.
Not only that, but beneath the surface there is self-doubt, low-confidence, and low-self esteem. What is the answer? And how can we get through it?
In this episode of A New Direction Coline Monsarrat joins us to take us through her story of trial after trial, physically, mentally, and emotionally. She describes herself as living a life with a mask…a life living with imposter syndrome.
She provides us with the challenges, insights, and solutions to overcoming imposter syndrome with her book, “You Are Not an Imposter”.
Coline‘s book, “You Are Not an Imposter: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: Unlock Your True Potential So You Can Thrive in Life” is a truly gripping view of Coline’s life of living with imposter syndrome.
She takes us through how seeing herself as an imposter in her career, created severe physical health challenges that changed her life forever and nearly cost her everything.
You Are Not an Imposter is filled with how we can become an imposter, why we maintain it, and the work that must be done to overcome it.
It is a great book! I highly recommend you get a copy. Truly insightful.

Level Up Your Career, Improve Your Speaking AbilitiesThe A-HA! MethodIf you want to be a more effective leader, you need to improve your speaking effectiveness. If you want to be a more effective sales person, you need to improve your speaking effectiveness.
If you want your meetings to be more effective, you need to improve your speaking effectiveness.
The fact is the more effectively you are speaking to others, the more effective you will be period. You will be looked at differently. People will be more engaged with you. The better you become at speaking the more people want what you have.

Get ready friends because this is one hour with a highly paid and skilled professional that can change the trajectory of your career.
Gabe Zichermann‘s book, “The A-Ha! Method: Communicating Powerfully in a Time of Distraction” is one of the most complete and comprehensive books on public speaking on the market.
The book not only addresses the aspiring or professional public speaker, but also for those who are sales people making a pitch, or even those of us who are in charge of meetings and how are speaking abilities can create greater effectiveness.
Gabe takes you through the details and some of the hidden secrets that are behind the greatest speakers. And yet challenges the reader that they have to do the work to be successful.
The book also digs into the psychology and behavior of your audience and gives you specific “how to’s” when it comes to using that psychology to better connect with your audience.
The A-HA! Method really comes down to giving your audience those A-HA! moments, while you carefully and craftily construct a talk that engages your audience and begs for more.

The post Speaking Effectiveness…Your Ticket to Career Growth appeared first on Jay Izso.
Need a Career Change? Or Just a Tune-Up?Here are some career questions you need to think about:
Does your job offer you a sense of purpose?
Do you feel compelled to pursue another career?
You find it hard to go to work because you’re not a fan of the company you work for? Does your company align with your values?
Do you feel valued by your employer?
Is your compensation commensurate with your contributions and experience?
In general, are you happy with your job?
If you answered “no” to anyone of these questions, then you may need a career change or at least a career tune up.
Career Expert Chris Fontanella rejoins me on A New Direction to talk about his latest book “Tune Up Your Career”.
It is going to be an eye-opening show and if you have any doubts about your career right now, first know you are not alone, and second, know that there are answers.
Chris Fontanella’s most recent book entitled, “Tune Up Your Career” is an outstanding insightful guide for those of you out there who are feeling stuck and unsure what your next career move should be.
Here are a few of the highlights should know from the book:
First having some questions in your career is normal.
Second, regardless of how you try to resist your career is going to change. And if all else stays the same…you are going to change.
Third, if you are lacking fulfillment and purpose, you are the only one who can change your career path. No excuses…you are accountable to your career.
Fourth, if you have guts, and resilience, you may be an entrepreneur. It’s not easy. And you may have to work two jobs at first, but how much value is there in having the freedom? Only you can decide.
This book is for anyone who feels like they have been consumed by the “machine” and has now awakened to realize there is something more, but not sure what it is.
Please thank the sponsors of A New Direction for their continued financial support!

Do You Inspire Your Buyers?We are all in sales. We are all being sold to. What makes you want to buy? What are the factors that go into the sales process that influence you? What are the things that stop you from your purchase?You may have sat through a presentation only to wonder, “well where do we go from here”? It all pretty uninspiring, isn’t it?If you are in sales, B2B or B2C that fact is there is one thing that you need, and that is you need to “inspire your buyers”. What does that mean? Do you as know your buyers’ pain? How clearly can you paint the picture of their problem, and what the solution will do to relieve it?In this episode of A New Direction President of InspireYourBuyers.com Bruce Scheer uses the “Go to Market Narrative Development” that he has used with industry leaders like, IBM, Microsoft, HP Google and many others.Bruce Scheer‘s book, “Inspire Your Buyers: Go to Market with a Story that Sizzles“. Is a quick, power packed, practical, step by step guide to helping you carve out a narrative that causes buyers to want to buy from you.Bruce calls it the “Go To Market Narrative”. And when you see it all laid out it just makes so much sense. The problem for you and I, we don’t ask the right questions and are coming up with the wrong answers.Bruce wants you and I to dig deeper. And deeper we must go. If we are truly going to create a narrative in our marketing and sales presentations, then we need to truly understand our buyer’s pain. Problem one…are we truly identifying their real pain.And that leads to problem two: too often we make ourselves the hero with our solution, when we should be digging into the buyers’ pain so deeply, they feel it, and then imagine a world without that pain.By the time to you get to the end of the book “Inspire Your Buyers” has you ready and aligned for success. Again, it’s a quick read, but with a powerful and successful message.Please Thank our sponsors for financially supporting A New Direction:

Put the “I” in Team…Positive InfluenceMost all of us have heard the saying there is no “I” in team. Well, the reality is there is no “we” either.
But maybe if we saw the “I” as “Influence” we may have a different perspective. Because we all have influence, and since you are part of a team members who also are “influencers”, then perhaps there is an “I” in team after all.
The fact, before we were born, we have influenced others. But for many of us we don’t think about the influential impact we do have on others.
What is more often do not know what we can do to enhance our influence and create a more successful environment for others through our influence.
In this episode of A New Direction Brian Smith Ph.D. walks us through his latest book “Positive Influence: Be the “I” in Team” to help us use our influence to positively impact others. It will be a growth moment for all of us!
Dr. Brian Smith’s Book, “Positive Influence: Be the I in Team” is a practical read that you can start acting on right now.
This book opens us up to the fact that we are all influencers. And we have a responsibility to that fact we are influencing at all times.
Further, the book explores the traits that it takes to be a positive influencer, as well as the pitfalls that can inhibit or hurt our influence.
We all need to wake up to the fact that what we do and say matters. But we also need to wake up to the idea that how we respond to whatever is said or done to us as an influencer equally matters.
We need to be aware of not only what we say, or write, but how we present ourselves in everyday life.
We need to be better communicators, better listeners, and be more aware of how our audience is responding to us and our message.
The bottom line as an influencer is this: It’s not about leading followers but influencing others.
We need to put on humility, be ready to take the “high road”, which is not the most popular position to be in and put others ahead of ourselves.
For it is then, and only then will we be at our best to be a Positive Influence the world around us.

6 Behavioral Communication Behaviors to Change Your Life and BusinessWe all know the importance of communication. And communication is often talked about in books and articles. But what if you were given the keys to set of proven communication strategies that actually will make a difference?On this episode of A New Direction, Professors and Co-Authors Julien Mirivel and Alexander Lyon talk about their research on “positive communication” and make it practical for leaders.Their research focuses on “The Wheel of Positive Communication”, which contains the six behaviors that will lead to change in any organization.What are those 6 Communication behaviors?1. Greet to Create Human Contact2. Ask to Discover the Unknown3. Compliment to Affect People’s Sense of Self4. Disclose to Deepen Relationships5. Encourage to Give Support6. Listen to Transcend DifferencesThese 6 behavioral changes in communication have been researched and demonstrated that when followed through on by leaders they change their people and their organization.Julien and Alex’s book, “Positive Communication for Leaders: Proven Strategies for Inspiring Unity and Effecting Change” is more than a communication book it is a practical psychology book that enables to take action to start changing your organization.This book is not only great for business, but the behavioral principles apply to marriage, family, personal and professional relationships. It also deals with having difficult conversations.This book quite frankly impacted me so much that I started practicing the strategies right away. In fact, the very first thing I did is change the way I send emails (and yes they talk about that too in the book).
Julien and Alex also dive into the behaviors that inhibit us from doing the very things we need to do to be more effective leaders and communicators.
If you are like me and you want to improve yourself. Then you need to read this book!

Creating Habits that Will Change Your Life, Your Business, and Your CareerWhen we think of the word “habits”, typically we jump to the negative. We may think of all the bad habits we need to get rid of…
However, when if we were to rethink the word “habit” we may be able to stretch our mind to the idea of good or positive habits. And by creating those habits we can achieve greater success.
In this episode of A New Direction Rahul Sharma joins me to talk about his book “Habits4Miracles: Design Your Life Your Way”.
Rahul is going to share with us 8 habits we need to develop and the actions that we need to take so that we can unleash our potential and create greater success in our life, career, and business.
Rahul Sharma’s book Habits4Miracles: Design Your Life Your Way is a practical guide to changing your life, unleashing your potential, and creating greater success.
The book uses an acronym format for the word “Miracles”, and at the end of each chapter provides actionable steps so that you can create those habits that you need to becoming the authentic you.
The book is well organized, well written, provides some great research, and relatable stories that everyone can connect with.
I highly recommend that book. As a special gift to A New Direction listeners Rahul is offering a free Habits4Miracles workbook by going to the website and mentioning you heard him on A New Direction.

The Ultimate Guide to Power and InfluenceThere is no doubt that successful people have power and influence. If you want to be more successful, then power and influence need to be part of the equation.
True, in the hands of the wrong people those to things can be dangerous, but in the hands of the right people can make the world a better place for everyone.
And on this episode of A New Direction bestselling author and founder of the Dilenschneider Group, Robert L. Dilenschneider joins me to talk to us about how to make you and the people around you more successful by developing your power and influence.
Robert Dilenschneider’s book, “The Ultimate Guide to Power & Influence: Everything You Need to Know” is a practical guide to increasing your success and helping you make a bigger and better impact in the world.
Chapter 1 of the Ultimate Guide to Power & Influence starts with a question we are all often asked, but never answer accurately…”Who are you?”
So often we answer the question with what we do, or the roles we play. But is that who we are really? The answer is “no”. The real answer to who we are is what do we stand for and what are our values.
The fact is if we do not truly “know thyself”, how can we expect to be successful. The answer is we cannot.
Robert then dives into the areas of how to do better networking, making deeper connections, why helping others without an expectation of return or thank you is powerful…and so much more!
The Ultimate Guide to Power & Influence is practical and straight forward. Robert Dilenschneider gives you the insider insights into understand that you are in control of your own success.

Make Sure When It Comes to Your Business the Price is RightIf there is one thing that can keep your business from success is price. Set the price too high and you price yourself out of the market.

It’s Time to Live in Daily AwarenessFriends lets be honest with each other. We truly live in a VUCA world. Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous world.
You don’t have to read too far in your newspaper, or watch the news casts to see that our world is not what most of us grew up in.
This raises the question for all of us: What are we doing to make sure we are ready for the volatility that inevitably will meet us? Do you have a plan when you drive? Do you have a plan when a natural disaster strikes? Or do you just hope that everything will be okay?
That’s not a plan. And it is not preparedness. The fact is the vast majority of us have no awareness. And when it comes to situational awareness…we have even less.
On this episode of A New Direction 13 year veteran in the 1st SFOD-D(Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta) and 22 Years in Special Force Units and the Creator of Basic Dude Stuff Pat McNamara joins us to talk about his book Sentinel.
The fact is our awareness is at an all-time low. We drive to work mindlessly. We assume that no one has any reason to bother us. And our awareness is numb. And because our awareness muscle is weak…we become vulnerable.
Pat Mac’s book “Sentinel: Become the Agent in Charge of Your Own Protection Detail” should be required reading for every human being on the planet.
This book speaks to everyday practical things that you can do to build your own self and situational awareness.
Whether you are going to the office, the grocery store, taking care of your vehicle, or taking care of your body. This book addresses every area.
And for those of you who are looking to improve your self-awareness when it comes to firearms, Pat Mac addresses that too.
Sentinel is a book for all people for all time. If you want to improve yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually then get yourself a copy of Sentinel.
It’s not about paranoia, it’s about being prepared. And that takes awareness!

SPECIAL MISSION:Leadership Principles from the War in IsraelMajor General (ret) John GronskiHaving spent a few days in Israel during the Hamas/Israel conflict I had a different and unique experience. The news media, as typical does not tell the whole story, or they focus on only on a particular aspect of the war and only look at what they believe is important eliminating extremely important details.
And often we want to know things like: How do you lead when confront by an enemy who is focused on terror? What does a leader do? How do you not only lead others but lead yourself? And what principles can you and I take away from leadership in this type of a conflict that we can apply to our lives.
In this special episode of A New Direction, we bring back Major General (Ret) John Gronski who spent time in the middle east during the Iraq war under trying circumstances.
The General and I spend time talking about how to deal with an enemy that is bent on your destruction. What kind of leader do you need to be in the face of a violent and chaotic enemy, and more.
General Gronski’s book entitled “Iron Sharpened Leadership: Transforming Hard-Fought Lessons Into Action” is in my opinion one of the most complete books on leadership you will ever read.
Throughout the book General Gronski gives you action steps in each chapter that you can take from the concepts and apply it to your life right now.
Unlike most leadership books I have read, General Gronski dives into the importance of the spiritual self when it comes to leadership.
And rather than dance around the issue he makes it abundantly clear that the spiritual you needs to be in training the like the physical, mental, and emotional you.
The book is available in Audible so there are no excuses to listen to or read the book. Get your copy by clicking HERE or on the picture.

Why Your Business Needs a Chief of StaffInteresting isn’t it that U.S. Presidents have a Chief of Staff (COS)? If you are like most people we take the title for granted and really do not think about what they do. Is it really a necessary position? The short answer is…Yes!
Then why don’t businesses have a Chief of Staff? Well, in fact,, some do. But many of not most do not. Probably because they fully do not understand what the Chief of Staff role really is.
For other people they think if they are the CEO, the Owner, the founder, or have the letter “C” in their title that they are the Chief of Staff. And in some cases they may take on some of the roles and responsibilities, but in reality the Chief of Staff takes the pressure off the CEO.
So what is the Chief of Staff really? In this episode of A New Direction former Chief of Staff, Executive Coach, and Best Selling Author Emily Sander joins us to help us understand what is the Chief of Staff, and what it takes to become one.
Emily Sander‘s book “An Insider’s Perspective on the Chief of Staff: Why You Need One and How to Be a Great One” may be a short read, but every page is filled with everything you need to know about why you need to have a chief of staff and how to be great at it.
With Emily Sander’s experience as a former chief of staff she walks us through why this role unlike any other c-suite position can make any business more efficient and ultimately more profitable.
As she helps us understand what a chief of staff can do for a business and the CEO she helps us understand the many roles that they take on and how they must conduct themselves in order to be successful in the role.
The chief of staff role requires that she or he be able to communicate effectively at the highest and lowest levels. They have to be able to neutral, but at the same time be effective.
Chief of Staff is a phenomenal and insightful book for both the CEO and for those considering if the chief of staff role is right for them.

The Art and Science of Building Relationships that Lead to Success in Life and BusinessWhat do B2B and B2C have in common? People are the ones who make the decisions. Often there is an erroneous belief that competence, a good product, and professionalism is the most important aspects of business.However, the research suggests something different. And that is that relationships are what drive sales and success. Not just in business, but in life as well.But developing great relationships that will make a difference in our life and business requires that we develop relationship skills. What are the most important relationship skills to develop.Well, in this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, Award Winning Attorney, Forbes Business Development Thought Leader and Coach, Joe Brocato joins us to talk about how you can take our relationships to the next level with his latest book…”Hit It Off”.Joe Brocato’s Book, “Hit It Off: 21 Rules for Mastering the Art and Science of Relationships In Life and Business” is what I would call an essential read for every person in any stage of life or business.The 21 Rules are all things you may have heard before. The difference in this book is that Joe provides the science behind why they work.What is more Joe introduces ways to apply these 21 rules, and the “train wrecks” can happen when these rules get derailed.Another powerful set of tools that Joe provides in “Hit It Off” is that at the end of the book he has exercise to help you strengthen these 21 relationships rules.And although the rules may not be new, we need to be more intentional and conscious how we use them. Because we all know we tend to go on automatic pilot when it comes to building new relationships.If we would be more conscious of our behavior and our words, we would develop deeper and better relationships that will create greater success for ourselves in life and business.Please Thank the sponsors of A New Direction. It is their financial gifts that keep us on the air and keep us going! And we could not be more grateful.

A Pathway to Dealing with Mistakes that Will Lead to SuccessBe honest. How does your business deal with mistakes? Do you punish people for making mistakes? Do you take them behind the verbal woodshed and berate them for their error?
If you are like most businesses, there is no room for mistakes. You calculate mistakes as costly. They eat your profits. They cannot be tolerated. And the only corrective measure is to punish them.
There is a better and more productive way. And that is embracing mistakes. Because mistakes can be the greatest gift you have to finding a new and better solution, create more productivity, more honesty, and ultimately more profitability.
How you ask? Well on this episode of A New Direction Consultant and Author Mark Graban takes us through how mistakes can be your greatest gift toward success.
Mark Graban takes on a journey through his book “The Mistakes that Make Us: Cultivating a Culture of Learning and Innovation“.
The book is a culmination of his many interviews with leaders at different levels and how they handled the mistakes of others as well as their own in a way that was productive and led to more successful outcomes.
The book has several themes: First, punishing mistakes does not work. And yet for some reason we continue to do it.
Second, creating a culture of “psychological safety” gives people the freedom to make mistakes. This allows the company to correct them.
Third, making mistakes and learning from them will lead to more success, then avoiding them, hiding them, or punishing them.
The book is backed by a myriad of examples from large and small companies. It is also backed by a plethora of research from some of the leading researchers on the subject.
This can be a business changing book, and even a life changing book if people are willing to be open and have a growth mindset. Because mistakes when handled correctly can lead to much greater success for any industry or person.

Have you ever thought about hiring a coach? Some people wonder why they might hire a coach?
I like to try to help people think of it this way. Every professional athlete has at least one coach. They have a head coach, they have a coordinator coach, they have a position coach, and they have a coach who is personal to help them work on their mental game. The last one is the type of coach I am.
Whether you are a CEO, CFO, VP, Entrepreneur, Business Owner, or Salesperson, we all need a coach to help us see what we cannot. Sometimes we just get stuck in our life and business and we need another perspective. I can help you with that. Other times we are just struggling to now what the next step should be and you need an unbiased and yet unfiltered person to help you navigate those waters. I do that too.
Sometimes life is just challenging and you need to feel like you have a partner that can help you get a better perspective and inspire a better mindset. And I also do that and more. So, if you have not considered a business or life coach before, send me an email and I would be happy to talk to you to see if I am a good fit for you.

How Leaders Keep Their Employees Engaged and Productive
Let’s be honest. We have seen more and more employees simply quit the workplace. Other employees are just doing enough to get a paycheck and disappear otherwise known as the “quiet quitter”. Research has demonstrated clearly that employee quitting costs companies across the U.S. between $450 and $500 Billion annually. What can you do about it as a leader?
In this episode of A New Direction, we talk with award winning author and team expert Dea Irby. Dea, takes us through her 5 faceted system of re-engaging your employees through C.L.A.I.M. As a leader it is going to require you become more intentional when it comes to your employees. But intention is not enough you also need to take action to make your business and team more engaged and more productive.
Let me also say that this show is not just for those who are leaders of employees. This show is also for employees too. Friends listen carefully because you want to find a place of employment that employees these 5 facets. You want to be in a place where you feel “Chosen, Loved, Acknowledged, Invested In, and Made for Greatness.
Dea Irby‘s book, “CLAIM Your People at Work: How Inclusive Leaders Keep Their Employees Engaged and Productive“, is a well researched book. The principles or as Dea names them, “facets” are integrally intwined in so much that they build on each other. These qualities in a workplace are not only necessary in today’s working world, but they are crucial for today’s employees. It’s time to CLAIM your people!

The truth is however none of this is going to work if you are not real clear on validating your idea. And this is where spend most of our focus on the show. As Will told me after the show, “validation of your idea is like a GPS, without it your either guessing how your idea will work, or just getting lucky”. The fact is you need to make sure you have done your homework before you launch. It doesn’t take that much time, but it is time well spent. Get Launch in 5 it is truly a game changer.

Taking an Underdog “Challenger Brand” to Greater Success
Everyone loves the underdog. We want to see the team who seemingly have no chance against the giants win. The same is true for business. Perhaps you are a business that is not the industry leader, referred to a “challenger brand”. Do you still have a chance? The answer is absolutely!
Who are “challenger brands”? They don’t have the budget. Challenger brands know that they are not number 1, but know where they stand in the market. Challenger brands know that to be successful they need to create disruption. Challenger brands are resilient and ready to take action.
On this episode of A New Direction Michael Tuggle, Tuggle Creative Inc. and former Co-Executive Creative Director at LOOMIS of Loomis advertising helps us understand how an underdog brand a.k.a. “Challenger Brand” can compete when they differentiate themselves by what they have on the inside…namely their culture.
If you want to be a successful challenger brand it is not going to be about spending more money. It is not going to do what the category or industry leader does. A challenger brand will be more successful when they realize that there is something in their culture that distinguishes is from any other business that they can put to the market. Often times we want to think it is something big that will change the destiny of a challenger brand, but more frequently it is one little thing in the culture that emotionally connects, where people feel good about the challenger brand.
Mike Sullivan and Michael Tuggle‘s book “The Voice of the Underdog: How Challenger Brands Create Distinction By Thinking Culture First” is a well researched and insightful book and toolkit to help underdog “challenger brand” businesses from where they are to achieving high success. The fact is that if your culture is wrong, you will not be able to compete. If your leadership is wrong, you won’t have a culture worth fighting for. The ideas in this book are not for the faint of heart. They will challenge you. They may even make you upset because they will fly in the face of conventional thinking, but their research and track record of success make it clear that if you want to be a challenger brand that makes a disruption in the industry, you are going to have to think differently, be different, and resilient.

Are You in a Financial Peace of Mind?
Let’s be honest…really honest…we all have either been or are currently concerned about money. We are regularly asking ourselves, “how do I get more of it”, or “am I going to have to live on when I get older?” And the truth is when it comes to money we often do not have much financial peace.
Money is one of those issues that affect our everyday lives. It affects the way we feel about ourselves, how we see ourselves, and it often affects our closest relationships…and more often than not negatively. You may have read books, listened to podcasts, regular radio shows, or been face to face with a financial guru to help you try to understand and grow your finances. And while those things have benefit most do not address how our financial peace plays a role.
The fact is we all want financial peace and the freedom that comes with it. We all want to go to bed at night and not have to worry about money. We want to know we can pay the bills, have enough money to handle an emergency, and maybe even some money to enjoy. How do we do that?
It all starts with your relationship with money. When have you asked yourself questions like, “when I think about money, how does it make me feel?”, “What does money mean to me?” Your relationship with money will largely affect how you save, spend, and earn money.
In this episode of A New Direction all the way from Singapore (which why the time is different) Michael Gilmore a.k.a. The Seven Dollar Millionaire helps us dig into our mind and discover how we are relating to money that is creating much of our problems with money. If you are ready for some financial peace and freedom…this show is for you!
Michael Gilmore‘s book, “The Little Book of Zen Money: A Simple Path to Financial Peace of Mind” is not only a practical guide on the how you should address your financial situation but addresses the psychological and emotional aspects of money that affect your financial peace and freedom.
The book has little exercises that if you do them and consider them will help you uncover what your relationship with money is. But beyond the psychological, The Little Book of Zen Money helps you understand money as a tool. We don’t think of money as a tool, but the truth is most of us do not know how to use it appropriately and safely. Like a chainsaw, it is powerful, and can be used for good, but it also can be dangerous. The Little book of Zen Money gives you the user manual on how to use this powerful tool. So if you are ready for some financial peace and freedom in your life…get your copy of The Little Book of Zen Money!

When It Comes to Success in Life and Business…It’s About Your Relationships!
We all have heard the saying, “it’s not what you know, but who you know”. And let’s be honest the relationships we make are critically important to our personally lives, but most assuredly our professional lives. But what do you do when you find it difficult to create new relationships? And what is more how can you create relationships that truly make a difference? True you could join a meetup group, go to a networking event, but typically these events are forced impersonal and loud, and more often than not you can feel very alone. What is one to do?
Well in this episode of A New Direction Nick Gray joins us to talk about how to create “The 2 Hour Cocktail Party“. In this episode Nick coaches us on how to create an effective, intimate, fun party that truly builds real relationhips that translate into tremendous benefits for you personally and professionally. No matter what your age these small gatherings create huge dividends! You don’t want to miss this episode…in could be career changing and life changing!
Nick Gray‘s book, “The 2-Hour Cocktail Party: How to Build Big Relationships with Small Gatherings” is absolutely fantastic! The more I read it the more I kept saying, “I should do this”. By the end of the book, I was saying, “I need to do this”. After thinking about it, I put it on my calendar, and I am doing this! This book takes the pressure off of doing a long-drawn-out party. It takes the awkwardness out of those “networking” events. It puts you in the position where you are building real relationships that grow deeper that will positively impact you personally and professionally. Charlie “Tremendous” Jones is correct in saying, “Five years from today, you will be the same person that you are today, except for the books your read and the people you meet.” Nick Gray will get you on the way to change, because you will be doing both.

What is the difference in thinking between the successful and the unsuccessful. How do you handle failure? How do you develop resilience?

If there is one truth in the world today…it is that when it comes to communication we are not doing very well. Let’s be honest as problems increase, as we draw more verbal lines in the sand, the only solution that can solve the problem is more effective communication. And yet communication with each other seems to be a greater challenge.
We all know in our business and personal lives that poor communication leads to numerous problems. We want to believe that we are great when it comes to our communication…and yet…we often seem to miscommunicate. But how often do we say things in the wrong way, want to prove that we are right, or maybe we hide ourselves from the conversation, rationalize with negativity, or not give our best effort in our communications with others. The fact is we all need to do better and we can do better…how?
A Communication Book for EveryoneCommunication expert Michelle Gladieux joins this episode of A New Direction to help us “Communicate with Courage” and do it in a way that makes us more effective with others, create clarity, and face the fears and take the risks with courage to overcome our communication fears and challenges.
Michelle‘ Gladieux‘s book “Communicate with Courage: Taking Risks to Overcome the Four Hidden Challenges” is an insightful look at the multi-faceted diamond of communication. The book addresses many questions, such as: What kind of communicator are you really? What do others think of you as a communicator? How does your personality play a role in your communications?
Of the four basic challenges of communication which one or ones do you struggle with most? Are you “Hiding”? Do you Define to be “Right”? Are you one who Rationalized to the “Negative”? Perhaps you communicate to just be “Good Enough”? Whatever your communication challenge Michelle Gladieux and Communicate with Courage gives you a clear path to overcoming fears and taking the risks that are critical to better business and personal relationships.

Selling Is Not Easy, But It Can Be Easier From Your Comfort Zone
When it comes to selling anything here is what we know. First it can be a tremendously rewarding and lucrative career. We also know that finding people who are good at selling is difficult, and finding great sales people is even harder. Just look at these statistics on selling. In one study they found that 55% of people earning a living in sales should be doing something else and 20-25% have what it takes to sell, but they should be selling something else.
So what’s missing? Why do have so many people have a difficult time in sales and selling? The answer may be they are completely out of alignment with themselves, the company they are selling for, the product that they are selling, and the audience they are selling to. In this episode of A New Direction Best Selling Author and Sales Team Expert Stacey Hall joins us show us how to be successful in sales by aligning with your core values, aligning with what you sell, and how to use social media to increase sales. This non-traditional view of selling from your comfort zone creates depth in relationships with your clients and leads to greater sales, higher satisfaction and greater success!
Best Selling Book: Selling From Your Comfort Zone
Stacey Hall‘s best selling book is entitled Selling from Your Comfort Zone: The Power of Alignment Marketing the book is going to be a challenging read for those of you who believe in the old fashioned way of doing sales. If you believe that in today’s world that you can avoid the idea of “Know, Like, and Trust” when it comes to selling you will have missed the boat.
The fact is that today’s buyers, whether it is B2B or B2C are looking of those people who they can get to know, are likeable, and can build trusting loyal relationships. The days of scripts, spammy, clever lines and foot in the door are over. The fact is we sell to other humans. Decisions are made by other humans. That means whether you like it or not the decisions that are made are in fact made from a place of emotions, not a place of logic. Hence it would serve us well when it comes to selling to make sure we understand who they are, where they are coming from and have build a solid foundation of a relationship. Because it will be that emotional connection that will avoid objections and naturally lead to the sale…which is truly Selling from Your Comfort Zone.

Unlock Your CreativityOne of the most desirable qualities in today’s business world is creativity. Unfortunately in today’s world for a variety of reasons creativity is not as common as we would like to believe. What about getting to the heart or should I say “core” of creativity? Is there a way we can tap into that reservoir of creativity that we all have, but we just don’t know how to get there?Well in this episode of A New Direction Dr. Ronald Alexander helps you and I tap into our creativity lies deep within us that we have a difficulty tapping into. Let’s be honest creativity is what great success, invention and innovation is built on, and who doesn’t want some of that? Join us right here and get your creativity juices flowing!In this episode Dr. Alexander deals with the myths of creativity. More than likely you have heard of the many myths of creativity. Like the creative person who looks like they are doing nothing and are hence lazy. Dr. Alexander helps us understand that the naysayers are completely mistaken.Maybe you have heard of the myth that creatives are depressed or mentally unstable.What about the myth that our creativity reduces with age. Well nothing could be further from the truth.Dr. Alexander’s book Core Creativity: The Mindful Way to Unlock Your Creative Self is an insightful read that helps us understand that we all have creativity. How we tap into it is what holds us back. So much of our lack of creativity starts with our mindsets, such as Growth vs. Fixed, Open vs. Closed, and Promotion vs. prevention. Core Creativity also digs into how our loss and trauma can create blocks in our creativity that can cause us to not be as creative as we could be.
One of the most interesting ideas that Dr. Alexander shares with us, it the idea that if we want to be more creative that we need to slow down. We need to move on from our past, say good-bye to loss, and hello to opportunities that are in front of us. Always keeping in mind that we need to focus on the solutions…not the problem.
Finally Dr. Alexander analyzes the habits of highly creative individuals. Starting with reframing the way we look at mistakes. Because in reality they are really not mistakes, but as the movie industry describes that are “missed takes” and we get to have a “do over”. He also looks at the role perseverance and patience plays in our creativity. A powerful book and a powerful show!

Discover Your Leadership StyleThere are thousands of books when it comes to leadership. Most of the speak about specific attributes of leaders and leadership. There are many assessments you can take in regard to personality and how it relates to leadership. But thing that the literature particularly avoids is “leadership style”. When I ask you about your leadership style, what the first thing that comes to mind? Is it dictator, hands off, collaborative, something else.
In this episode of A New Direction we dive into leadership style. And when it comes to leadership style Robert Jordan and Olivia Wagner have conducted research with thousands of leaders to help define for leadership styles that we have a preference toward. Perhaps you have a leadership style of being a “Fixer”. Or maybe you have a leadership style of being an “Artist”. Maybe a “Builder” or a “Strategist”. The fact is we all have a preference towards a leadership style, but we may not recognize it. In this episode Robert Jordan, helps you to narrow down what your leadership style is and what organizations you best fit in, and when it is time to perhaps get out.
Right Leader, Right Time: Discover Your Leadership Style for a Winning Career and CompanyRobert Jordan & Olivia Wagner’s book Right Leader, Right Time: Discover Your Leadership Style for a Winning Career and Company is incredibly insightful. In fact, from this readers perspective it was the first time I felt that someone understood my leadership style and that I was not being crazy or weird.
The book is an eye opener for those who wonder why they may jump from leadership postition to leadership position. It can give you some closer as to why you get an andrenaline rush over some things in the organization and other times you want to poke your eye with a fork. The book is well written and uses real world examples with leaders and companies you know. If you want to know what kind of leader you are and when you should or should not get involved, get a copy of Right Leader, Right Now.

It begs the question, “Why are sales so difficult?” You would think with all the sales training that is available sales people would be knocking it out of the park…and yet they do not. On this episode of A New Direction Expert Sales Team Builder Steve Weinberg shares his decades of experience as both a successful sales professional and building successful sales teams. In this episode Steve talks to us about what makes a successful sales professional. What are some of the wrong lessons you may have learned in obsolete sales training, the power of succinctly and articulately knowing your value proposition, traits of the high performance sales professionals and more!
Steve Weinberg‘s book, Above Quota Performance: Tips and Techniques to Becoming a Master Sales Pro is the complete book for sales professionals and sales managers.

The one thing that will surprise you in this book…there are no slick, manipulative sales techniques! These are sound techniques that do not rely on “tricks” but rely on skills to help you understand the buyer and make sure you are delivering to them the solution that they not only need but what they want. Because at the end of the day if you want to be Above Quota you will have to answer the buyer’s question…”What’s in it for me”.

Our Mindsets Matter in EVERY Area of Our LifeWe often talk about mindsets. The research has been clear that you can have a “fixed” or “growth” mindset, an “closed” or “open” mindset, and the one that gets very little attention is “prevention” versus “promotion/abundance” mindset. This mindset seems to be especially true when we start talking about money and finances. Quite often when we talk about money so many people are focused on what they will lose rather that what they can gain. Is there a way to change our “money mindset”.
Well, on this episode of A New Direction International Best Selling Author and Entrepreneur Victoria Rader takes into 35 universal laws that you can start applying right now to reset your mind, take actions, control your emotions, and tap into your spiritual self to reset your relationship with yourself, others, and your money and finances.

Your brain and you are not in Sync when it comes to the Remote work space.Since the beginning of the pandemic we are doing far more remote meetings. In fact our workplace is some hybrid of digital. It’s a paradox really because even though we are more connected in these digitally environments e.g. ZOOM, the fact is we are more disconnected than ever. The fact is you and your brain are not connecting the dots. You may think your fine working remotely, but your brain is actually is telling your body something completely different. We are made for connection with other people. Face to face conversations trigger happy chemicals in our brain, like oxytocin and dopamine.
But in the remote environment that does not happen. What is more in these digital environments our brain must work harder. Here is the conundrum, our brain needs appropriate stimuli to make sense of our environment. In remote meetings we lack so much of the stimuli that helps us get clarity on our environment. On this episode of A New Direction NYU Professor of Management Communication Dr. Diane Lennard helps us understand what is really going on with our brain in these environments, and why we our brain struggles in remote environments. She then offers several practical and well researched suggestions how you can improve your physical, mental, emotional, relational, occupational and spiritual well being for yourself and your remote meetings. Listen for some of these remote killers: Exhaustion, Detachment, and Feeling less productive and efficient. Let’s be honest the remote world is here to stay. This show will help you better navigate the remote work place.
Dr. Diane Lennard and Dr. Amy Mednick book “Humanizing the Remote Experience through Leadership and Coaching: Strategies for Better Virtual Connections” is one of the most scientifically well researched books on the topic of how our brain and body respond in remote environments. What our brain and body go through that make the remote environment so taxing and methods to help bring your mind and body into homeostasis. The fact is remote work triggers within us stress that we are completely unaware of. It affects us in so many ways that you may be more exhausted than you know, and sleep is not helping. This book is amazing, and it is literally for anyone.

When it comes to leadership we often focus on “leadership” skills. That sounds good, but that is nothing more than horizontal development. Focusing on those skills is like adding more programs to your computer and expecting it to run faster and more efficiently. The fact is if you want your computer to run faster and more efficiently you need to upgrade the operating system. The same is true of leadership, if you want to be better at making better decisions you don’t need more skills, you need an upgrade to your mind. On this episode of A New Direction Dr. Ryan Gottfredson joins us again to discuss how leaders can level up their leadership through vertical development. How to upgrade the operating system in your mind to become an Elevated Leader your team and your company always desired you to be.
Ryan Gottfredson‘s book The Elevated Leader: Level Up Your Leadership Through Vertical Development delves into the areas of leadership development that no book I have read has ever ventured into. The fact of the matter is digging into our operating system, the mind, the will, the emotions and the mind/body connection is relatively new in the literature. The truth however lies in the fact that you can get all the leadership training in the world, but if you are dealing with your errors of your mindsets, and your own stuff, you will stay stuck. One of the most fascinating and impactful part of The Elevated Leader is Dr. Gottfredson‘s work and insight into how trauma can stunt our development. The fact is most of us experience trauma, but either we deny it, ignore it, or suppress it, but the fact remains, it is our trauma that will keep up from our development. We all need to take a closer look at it. The book is absolutely so powerful. Please take a look at the FREE assessments that Dr. Gottfredson offers on his website they are truly insightful.

Risk is not something we spend much time talking about in public circles. Sure, your typical financial advisor may talk about your risk tolerance, but when it comes to life risk, business risk, or career risk, we do not spend very much time discussing it. For many of us we grew up in families where they did not take much risk. They feared that risk would lead to loss.
However, risk can also be rewarded. Especially if we understand it and know how to manage it. The truth is every single day you are alive you are at risk. The question is are you in control of your risk or are you letting circumstances dictate your risk. On this episode of A New Direction Retired Marine Angie Morgan rejoins us to talk about her new book entitled “Bet on You”. Angie is going to take us through how if you take risk in the right way, bet on your gifts, talents, and abilities that your risk is going to lead to reward…and that reward is the life that you dreamed of, and achieving the success you imagined.
Bet on You: How to Win with Risk Book – Angie Morgan – A New Direction with Jay IzsoBet on You: How to Win with Risk is a mental, emotional, and spiritual journey into our psyche when it comes to risk. Each chapter is filled with thought provoking ideas and practical tools to help you embrace risk and achieve greater success than you are right now. Angie Morgan and Courtney Lynch have written a must read in Bet on You. And when you consider all the things you could bet on, you are your best investment with the greatest return. Learn to turn your risks into rewards…Bet on You!

I am so grateful for you listening to the show and telling your friends. Our goal is to truly help people find A New Direction in Leadership and Success in your life, career, and your business. And this show with Major General John Gronski is just one example of the great authors and books I interviewed this year. You the listener voted Iron Sharpened Leadership and General Gronski as one of the most downloaded shows of the year. So if you missed it, no worries here it is. If you have listened to it. I suggest listening to it again, because the general gives us practical tools to help your leadership skills.
Iron Sharpened Leadership is one of the top 3 books I have ever read on leadership. It is truly a leadership toolkit for everyone. What is more this comes from a United States Major General that spent time working thousands of men and women in the bloodiest part of the Iraq war. He truly exemplified what he terms “muddy boots leadership”. I highly recommend the book, and it is a book that anyone will gain from. Enjoy the show…but I also suggest you get a copy of “Iron Sharpened Leadership“.

We are all public speakers. Maybe you don’t see yourself as a public speaker, but the truth of the matter is if you are doing business with anyone you are a public speaker. Do you answer a phone? Then you are a public speaker. Do you sell something? Then you are doing public speaking. Perhaps you are one of those people who desire to become a professional public speaker. Maybe the place that you work puts you in a position where you must speak publicly. Or maybe you are a public speaker but you want to get more paid speaking opportunities. Public speaking can be a great career, and can also be a great additional income to your career. However, for most people they are afraid to speak in public. In fact, research has shown that speaking in public is one of the most fearful things that people can do. How do you overcome the fear and become an effective, captivating public speaker? Well thanks to professional speaker and speaking coach Peter George he will help you get through the fear, and debunk the the public speaking myths on this episode of A New Direction.
Peter George‘s book, The Captivating Public Speaker, is excellent. It is the most complete book on public speaking I have read. It is a no nonsense, this is how to be an effective, memorable, wanting you to come back for more book on public speaking to any audience. His AMP’D method is simply and sophisticated when comes to help you make a difference when speaking to any audience, whether that is an audience of one, or ten thousand one. If you will follow Peter’s instruction I will promise you, you will become The Captivating Public Speaker You had inside of you!

One of the greatest gifts we can give our employees is recognize them for what they do for your company. But you want to do it right. That year end recognition ceremony where you hand out the plaques is just not working. So what kind of recognition works? And how can you as a business owner, CEO, or manager get ROI from your recognition programs?
Then we have another problem…today in most companies we have a multi-generational workforce. And each generation has a different idea about what appropriate recognition is. Which also leads us to how do you sell your product or service to different generations. And since you probably have a multi-generational sales force how do you lead them?
In this episode of A New Direction Senior Vice President of Madison Performance Group Judd Weisgal, who sells, develops and implements recognition programs to Fortune 500 companies, helps understand how to recognize and incentive employees, and gives his insights on how to sell to corporations and individuals. He also gives his insights into understanding how to recognize and incentive multi-generational teams. And in the last segment Judd give his expert advice on how to a lead multi-generational sales team. Powerfully insightful show!

Are you struggling financially? Do want to be more financially successful? It doesn’t seem to matter how much money you make or don’t make your financial well being is always of concern. However, it seems more people are concerned about having enough money. For many, they worry about money. They worry about paying the bills, taking care of their family, getting to do the things they want to do, or even retire. What if your money problems could be solved by changing your mindset? What if you could discover the things that are holding you back that are keeping you from being financially successful? In this episode of A New Direction, Film producer, International Investor, and Wealth Advisor to Celebrities and Professional Athletes Erik Weir joins me to talk about how to put you on the transformational path to financial success from his book “Who’s Eating Your Pie?
This is perhaps one of the best books on financial transformation I have ever read. Erik Weir’s Who’s Eating Your Pie is more than a book on building financial wealth, it is building wealth of living a better life. Building a personal life, building your significant relationship, building a more fit physical you, building your faith, and so much more! The fact is the biggest culprit Who’s Eating Your Pie is YOU! Your mindsets, your decisions, you control how wealthy you are going to be in any area of your life. Don’t blame the world, don’t blame your circumstances, get control of your life, get control of your self-sabotage, get control of your self-talk and build the wealth you could always have built and were meant to build.
