Why leadership?

All leaders make a difference, for better or worse. As a firm advocate for people, mental health, and career success, I will die on the hill of how important it is to have strong people leaders that are able and willing to take that role seriously.

One Word.

What is your one word in terms of the impact you want to make as a leader? When you have one word, or primary outcome, in mind, you become laser-focused on making it come to life.

My one word is confidence. Listen to why that matters, the tactics I use to achieve it, and the tangible behaviors I can use to measure it.

Here are a few snippets of my leadership theories, presented virtually and not produced by Spielberg.

  • Define Your Leadership Style


    Can you articulate your leadership style in a succinct manner? Do you know how your team would explain your style, strengths, and opportunities? Imagine how much more effective you can be in polishing and refining your leadership skills if only you could start with problem-solving step one: identify the "issue" or, in this case, clarify the current state.

  • Set Your Team Up for Failure


    There is impact in failing. There is power in creating an environment to allow for and encourage failure. There's also a fine line between effective failure and productivity/success challenges. This 15-minute snippet will give you the building blocks to foster the impactful environment for the good kind of failure.

  • Skillfully Selecting Talent


    Your business is only as strong as your frontline -- the talent you employ! Your selection process should be, uh, selective, to ensure you are starting out with the best people. Break the mold and select based on talents, not just job experience and education. This snippet will cover 3 key tactics (Scopo’s 3Ss) to enhance your process.
