My guest pulled out at the last minute this week so I decided to do a reading of Chapter 1 of The Self-Evolved Leader because who doesn't want to hear an author read their own book. I also interlaced some author's notes on the chapter. There's also a great offer in here to pick up the Kindle version of the book for 99 cents. Just go to selfevolvedleader.com/99 and grab a copy. Better yet, grab some for your team and walk through it together!

 I’m an avid reader of novels. Most of what I read, however falls in the crime and mystery genre. I’d be pushed to name the last novel I read that was in the corporate setting. In fact, I’d be pushed to even be able to find one. That is until Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss came along. Jennifer and Michael are corporate communication experts and have just released Operation Clusterpuck. A thrilling read that will have you feeling like somebody is watching through your webcam.  Listen as we talk through the novel, leadership lessons within it and how to stay afloat in the world of corporate America.

Listen as we talk through the leadership lessons from her career and a simple process you can implement for having more effective conversations.

Over the years as the industry has shifted, she's found the ability to re-apply some of the lessons she learned when she first started out. Listen as Shama tells her story of early success, the leadership lessons she's learned in building her company and how they've reacted to an ever changing industry.

I recently shared this keynote to 600 leaders in the food service industry. I get into why I think our current leadership models are failing us and how I believe we need to get a firm grip on our leadership identity to accelerate our growth.  I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed sharing it!  As always, drop me a note at dave@outfieldleadership.com with any questions.

Learning through experience is at the core of developing as a leader. Yet how to make that happen is often an elusive subject. Given the myriad ways in which people grow and the ubiquitous access to content, how can we truly know that we (and our team) are focusing on the right things at the right time in order to benefit our organization? Julie Wilson has spent her life pursuing the answer to these questions with a dual focus on rigorous academic study and deep industry practice. In this episode she shares with us why every person has the seed of greatness and potential and how to ask yourself the difficult questions to take your leadership to the next level. You'll also get a chance to hear of her life's ambition of revolutionizing our education system to better prepare our children for the future. Rarely do you get a chance to meet someone with a purpose as inspiring as Julie's. I hope you enjoy the episode!
