Your entire team is working from home — this has never happened before. How do you keep the engine running? How do you keep the productivity up? How do you manage them so they will stay energized and focused?

When it comes to building your personal brand, a coach can be a powerful resource who can help you get out of your own way, stand out, and take action to achieve the things that are truly important to you.

As a leader, you have three basic responsibilities to your people — if you get them right and stick to only these three, you will be hitting home runs all season long.

More often than you expect, I find competent, hard-working people surviving in dysfunctional organizations.

As a leader, your job is to motivate, educate, and communicate. This does all three.

So how do you get more confident? I use the word ‘more’ because confidence isn’t a light switch, it’s a gradual range from awkward/incompetent all the way to cocky/braggart with confident in the middle.

Understanding the difference between a growth and a fixed attitude helps you improve your ability to embrace more complex and interesting work.
