LEAD WITH HEART

The Heart of Leadership

The Heart is the “pulse“ of leadership.

The Heart is the 

anyone  the “control center” of our core qualities, traits, and values that define effective leaders.


Leaders can easily crumble under the weight of negative thoughts, words, and actions — which often impacts mindset, character, and habits.

      My Story

      MY PAST


      “Do not harden your hearts … "

      Hebrews 3:8


      Days before our 25th Anniversary, my wife asked for a divorce. I thought I was a good husband. And to be fair, I had been for most of our marriage.


      My wife was no longer happy — and had not been happy for a long time. 


      She was tired of me putting my job, my interests, and even our kids before her.

      She was tired of being my last priority. She was tired of the stress and negativity. 


      I was crushed. I was devastated. And my entire world came crashing down.


      I know what it’s like to hit rock-bottom, struggle with financial, relationship, and health issues, and be overwhelmed by constant stress and negativity.


      MY PRESENT


      “Create in me a clean heart … "

      Psalm 51:10


      Faith became my foundation.

      Perseverance inspired progress.

      Struggles created new strategies. 


      My wife and I just celebrated

      our 30th Anniversary!


      Our faith led us closer:

      — to God and to each other.

      — to Victory Church in O'Fallon, IL.

      —  to a RelationShift of the Heart™. 


      What I teach is not a shallow framework.

      I lived it. I learned from it. I now pass it on.


      MY FUTURE


      “ …  give you a new heart … "

      Ezekiel 36:26


      My goal is to share what we have learned — and to help other people: achieve their own goals, create better results, and en“joy” their own process!



      MY MISSION


      TO HELP

      “Every heartbroken, lonely soul sitting all

      alone, and every outcast, stuck in their past, scared of letting go."

      Zach Williams

       

      MY VISION:

       

      TO TEACH

      “Love is — patient — kind — does not envy — does not boast — does not dishonor — is not self-seeking — not easily angered — always protects — trusts — hopes — perseveres.”

      1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

      Leadership is a Game

      Leadership is the ultimate game — with two games within the game.


      Many leaders are losing the inner game — stress, negativity, and burnout — that’s costing them the outer game — joy, positivity, and fulfillment.


      Sadly, too many people play without knowing all the rules, the moves, or the strategies — or even know how to win.


      LeaderDrift versus LeaderShift.


      LeaderDrift is losing focus of what matters. Better systems can’t fix it. More training doesn’t fix it. New strategies won’t fix it. The problem is your leadership heart.


      Drift happens. Shift examines.


      Stop managing people. Start leading hearts. You don’t need more systems, strategies, or status. You need a shift.

      Lead with joy. Energize your team.
