On today’s teleseminar for members of the Remarkable Leadership Learning System, we were discussing the important skill of Communicating With Confidence. While we discussed communicating with confidence, I also shared ideas for boosting your confidence overall. While talking about the idea of looking at past success as a way to boost our current (and future) confidence, I
There are at least two significant leadership lessons in this post, each somewhat unrelated to the other. First the back story. I have been fortunate over the past few years to get to know and spend some unstructured time with Byron Ernest, a High School teacher in Lebanon Indiana. Byron is one of the smartest
This week’s Resource Recommendation – Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional By John G. Miller I love a couple of things when I pick up a book.

Tomorrow Drew Brees will lead the New Orleans Saints into the NFC Championship Game against the Minnesota Vikings. While I am biased as a fellow Purdue Alumni, I believe that Drew is among the top passers (a skill) and best quarterbacks (a range of skills and behaviors, including leadership) in the league.
