Leadership Advocate and Co-Founder of the Goldzone Group. I help leaders to master the new rules of leadership for the new economy. Over the past 30 years, I have visited more than 500 cities in 54 countries to explore, learn from, and help many of the world's leading companies, leaders, and luminaries in science, technology, health, finance, and entrepreneurship.

How vs. Why

Most people want to know HOW to do something.  They ask, “How do I make more money? How do I speak up? How do I take more leadership?”

The HOW is the easy part when you have a clear picture of WHY.   Answer these questions: Why do you want to speak up? What will that give you? Once you are clear on what it will give you, figuring out how to do it is easy…

Straight Line

Most people think that the fastest way to get between two points is a straight line… and yes, they are correct when in a one dimensional reality. This is similar to looking at the horizon and saying that the world is flat.

We live in a multidimensional world and often the most creative solution shows that the fastest way to get from one point to the other is NOT always a straight line!

Three Types of People

There are three types of people: LEADERS, FOLLOWERS and BYSTANDERS.  Which are you?

Four Types of Followers

There are four types of followers: unwilling and unable, willing and unable, unwilling and able, and willing and able… which are you?

I Will Believe it – When I See It?

Most people have the attitude, “I will believe it when I see it.”  This is the opposite of the visionary attitude, “I will see it when I believe it.” What is your attitude?

Creativity

The fastest way to creativity is to infuse your life with more SPIRIT.

Spiritual Beings

If we are indeed spiritual beings in a physical body, how much time do we spend focusing on our spirit versus time spent on the physical aspects of our lives?

Fully-Realized, Self-Actualized

To be fully-realized, self-actualized means that we have to have alignment between our SPIRITUAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL and PHYSICAL dimensions. Most people are well developed mentally and physically – and are underdeveloped spiritually and emotionally.

Havingness – and the Upper Limit

Most people have an upper limit of what they feel worthy receiving. Once this upper limit is reached, they will reject or unconsciously sabotage in order to get rid of whatever it is they are receiving. You would think that receiving more would make you feel good; however, this upper limit causes us to feel worse and worse about ourselves as we receive more.

Projection

One little known aspect of leadership is projection. This is where some team members will set the leader up as a pseudo parent and then project all their unresolved feelings (with their parents) onto the leader!

You know this is happening when team members begin to act like children by competing for attention, are jealous of each other, etc.  They start responding to the leader with a level of feelings that are out of place.

Productivity goes down and upsets become more common.
