Episode #308 // It’s pretty rare that you’re faced with a decision that’s final or irreversible. And when one comes along, it’s normally pretty easy to recognize — you can sense the gravity of the moment, and the potential consequences that lie ahead.

But, as I look back on my experiences, some of the most significant decisions I’ve ever made, in terms of my life direction, didn’t seem to be that big a deal at the time. I made them using a liberal dose of gut feel, not suspecting for a moment how consequential they would ultimately turn out to be.

I recently had occasion to think about one of the most pivotal moments in Emma’s life, which also had a profound effect on mine. For those of you who don’t know, Em is my daughter. She’s also the producer of the No Bullsh!t Leadership podcast, and CEO of our business, Your CEO Mentor.

I was reflecting on the path that led us to where we are now, and it took me back to a brief but pivotal moment which, to tell you the truth, could have gone either way.

This episode is packed with examples, including Em’s story. I hope that it helps you to recognize these unexpected moments when they arrive in your career, and to respond accordingly.

You can never know, at the time, how critical these decisions will be… which is why you have to be prepared for every moment!

Moment #78 // Most successful founders face a problem as their business grows: the attributes that made them successful in the first place (e.g. innovation, hard work, tenacity, sales skills etc.) become obstacles to future performance.

Many unintentionally create a family culture. This might feel really nice, but it’s often mutually exclusive with the disciplined, constructive culture that ultimately underpins exceptional performance.

Whether you’re a business owner, or just trying to work out how to improve your team’s performance, don’t let a family culture impede your success.

If you want to take a deeper dive into how you can avoid the performance pitfalls of a family culture, have a listen to Ep.76: The Family Affair and Ep.180: The Family Culture.

Episode #307 // There’s a lot to be said for having confidence. It’s an essential ingredient for any leader who aspires to lift their people to greater heights.

Without confidence, it’s difficult to effectively execute on even the most fundamental tasks that competent leadership requires.

Confidence is incredibly valuable… and you can’t fake it!

But, I feel as though it’s been getting a bad rap lately — confidence comes with a range of negative connotations, and those who are less confident often mistake it for insincerity, bluster, or even the inappropriate use of power.

My observation, made over many years operating at the highest levels, is that confidence is an essential ingredient of high performance leadership.

This is why it’s so important to focus on your own level of confidence, to understand what you need to do to increase it, and to know how to keep the dark side of confidence at bay.
