Welcome

Inspired Leadership is a blog to provide a collection of my thoughts on leadership. I have helped numerous executives including general managers, department heads and supervisors over the years with various HR and operational matters and I find myself being driven to help those in and outside of the companies I have worked for.

I often find parallels in the things we do in life so you will find a collection of things that drive me forward in my personal and business life towards continual success. I also found great success utilizing concepts found in the Secret, the 8th Habit from Effectiveness to Greatness and Eat that Frog so you will see that a large part of what you will read will have a good deal of its base from those concepts.

Something new I learned last week



I recently reconnected with a woman who is an entrepreneur who offers consulting to wardrobe stylists across the country and retailers. She has a couple of web businesses that caught my eye on Facebook and I remembered her from a golf tournament I created many years ago. We met over coffee to catch up and at the end of it she asked if I would be interested in participating in a mastermind goal setting session. I told her that I had already written out my goals for the year but I was intrigued to hear what it entailed.

My friend told me that there are times when we may need some support from other people to help us in facing difficult situations during the goal setting process. She finds that it is helpful to have some “male” energy present during this process. With that said, in doing some research I have read that mastermind goal setting has been known to have helped a lot of people in achieving their goals.

In short mastermind principles involves a lot of brainstorming during a few meeting sessions with one or two other people (or more for that matter) can be very helpful to someone who could use an unbiased opinion when starting a new business or career transition just to name a couple of examples. One other plus in engaging in this format you get ongoing support because your new mastermind “team” will be involved with hearing your thoughts/pain and hold you accountable to the goal setting process.

Needless to say we are meeting next week.
