people who hate you away from the ones
who haven’t made up their minds yet”

Have you ever asked yourself why anyone would want to be led by you?

Who would you consider to be a Great Leader? • Who has made a difference? • Who has taught you things? • Who has mentored you? • Who has influenced your beliefs and values? • Who showed faith when maybe others didn’t? • Who has inspired you through their actions?

The 4 C’s of Leadership Communication - Tell them everything or tell them nothing at all - You will never be accused of over communicating - Words 7% - Vocal variety 38% - Body language 55%
Courage - People don’t leave companies. They leave leaders. - Speak from the heart - It’s OK to reveal your vulnerability

Do you want to be a boss or do you want to be a leader? • A boss places blame. A leader takes accountability. • A boss gives answers. A leader seeks solutions. • A boss directs. A leader coaches. • A boss criticizes. A leader encourages. • A boss is all about “me”. A leader is all about “we”. • A boss demands results. A leader inspires performance.
