What's the best way to get started as a brand new leader????I know when I as a brand new leader I wanted to make a good first impression, make a huge impact, and not mess anything up, but I was nervous because I didn't know what I needed to do to make that happen.Can I just say, if you're stepping into a new role, I hope you're proud of yourself for even thinking about taking this on?Yes, it can be scary at first, but it's also the greatest gift that you can give others.Working for a lea...

Do you have an upcoming job or promotional interview, that you want to feel fully prepared for so you can crush it?If so, that is the purpose of today's episode.I answered the question "What do I need to know to make my next interview the best one I've ever had?"Back when I was interviewing people as a supervisor/manager, I was taught this principle:"Past actions are predictors of the future."Once I understood what that meant (and how to communicate that during the interview) is when m...

Having successful left a career twice now (once with Teresa leaving UCLA and once with me leaving LAPD) we noticed there were 10 things that we really wished we had known before we even started to plan out leaving our jobs.We rushed through it, and looking back, if we had known all of these things it would have helped us considerably... Not just with leaving our job, but with the stress we went through to do so.I guess we had to go through it twice in order to learn the lesson!So whether y...

As a leader, sometimes we have to do the hard things... Which includes telling others what they need to hear...And that also applies to ourselves sometimes.But what I've found, is there are 3 times when being hard on myself actually hurts both me and those I'm leading and throws us all off track.And when I hear people say to "just push through" there is some truth to that, but there are a few times that doing so will actually do more harm than good.What are those times?That's what we w...

As leaders, we have to think differently. I like to think of this as the difference between a CEO and a w2 employee.Being a police officer for 20 years had me thinking a certain way... Mostly trading time for money among other things.But when I became a CEO, I had to change that, or it wasn't going to work.Imagine what that would look like, bringing THAT kind of energy to my business or to my family?But what do I mean when I say "We are modern leaders, we see things differently?"That i...

How do you double your productivity in your business, when you're still working full time, have kids, while also keeping your sanity?Early on in our business, we were a one-stop shop. We were doing it all...From social media, editing videos/podcasts, marketing, sales, emails, and about 50 other things.But we were also doing everything in our careers AND at home with our kids.We were proud of our "hard worker badges", until we hit our lid.We realized at some point if we wanted to take o...

Leadership is challenging.From making decisions, problem-solving, managing people.... And having it all come down to you.This challenge often demands more of our time and energy.. and can bring on a ton of added stress.At this point you might find it easy to convince yourself to work harder and longer, because "that's just what you have to do during this season."But what happens if that season starts to last all year?We become "imbalanced" which will lead to more stress, frustration, s...

As a leader, especially if you're an entrepreneur, we are always being pulled in a million directions.Our most valuable resource is our time, we never get any more of it (and never seem to have enough).Here on Modern Leadership we pride ourselves in being able to make a huge impact in the world, while also connecting with our family and taking care of our health, all without burning ourselves out...But how do we do that?For us, it was starting to see "time" differently.When started to ...

Was it worth the time and energy it took me to get monetized on YouTube? How did I do it, and how much did I make?All great questions, but there's something I absolutely need to make you aware of that caused me to get demonetized for 32 days!Yes, after I followed the strategies you'll learn today (if you check out today's release I got monetized)... and then it was all taken away!! (Well, for 32 days)I will also share the tactics I used to hit 4k watch hours and 1000 subs, including how I ...

Having a business is awesome... We are in control of the direction we go, how we run the show, and the impact that we make in other people's lives.But that also means, that WE are in control, especially if we steer it in the wrong direction.ESPECIALLY if you let your brain be in control.That's what my brain loves to do, control the show, and convince me not to do anything net or outside my comfort zone because it doesn't know what's going to happen if I do.Starting a new business?Creat...

We have all heard we are the average of the 5 people we spend the most time with, right?Well, what happens if you think one of your 5 is actually helping you, when in fact they are actually holding you back???That's what we ended up finding out, which is why today we want to break down the 5 people who were secretly holding us back in our business.Because simply hanging out with "high performers" "supporters" or people who have hit goals that you want to hit is NOT always the best thing to...

You might be looking to leave for another job/career...

And we'd also like to talk about what to do next if you decide IT...

How do people create so much momentum that nothing can stop them? And then once they have it, how do they protect it so it keeps building?We found out we had to understand how momentum ACTUALLY worked (it's not how we originally thought it did), and then how to tap into it based on our own strengths instead of following what others did to create it.That's why we made today's episode, to share how it really works, how we were able to build momentum in our business and personal health journey ...

Did you know that you can use what you think is your kryptonite, to actually be your superpower?To some degree, we all have weaknesses, but there's a way that we've found to turn those around, and it doesn't take as much work as you think.When we were able to do that in our business we started to make more impact, make more income, and enjoyed working our business much more.So we started to teach this to others that we coached, and we noticed they did the same thing.Which is why it's tim...

When things don't go as planned, it was very easy for me to see them as uncontrollable.What other people do, what other people say, and definitely when my brain starts to spin out of control and head down the "nuclear option", were just a few things that felt totally out of my control...But let me ask you...What if there was a way to actually CONTROL all of these situations, in a way that gave you the power back?Sounds to good to be true, right?Well, give me 6 minutes and I'll change y...

Join the Modern Leadership Inner Circle: https://www.youtube.com/@modernleadership/joinHow can I speed up the growth of my business so I can leave my 9-5 like yesterday??That was a question I asked myself over and over.I wanted to get OUT of the matrix of working massive amounts of overtime, being around the negativity, coming home and sleeping, and then rinsing and repeating.I know that success takes time, but I would really love it if we could get there as soon as possible because my p...
