‼️I’ve been reading daily for 18 years.

🔥🔥🔥The Result: I transformed my life personally and professionally AND now get paid to talk about leadership throughout the USA and beyond.

💥In 2008, 20 years into my manufacturing career, I read my first leadership book.

💥In 2014, I published my first leadership book. Today, I have published 15 books and recorded over 500 Blue Collar Leadership podcast episodes.

💥In 2016, I was paid $20,000 to speak about leadership for 4 hours to 80 leaders from 40 countries who were leading a $3 billion global organization.

💥In 2018, I was asked to speak at Yale University about leadership.

⚠️When you start turning pages and soaking up what you’re learning, there’s no telling what you may achieve as the months and years pass.

🔥Kirby Inland Marine has a great team of Deckhands, Tankermen, Captains, Onshore Support, and Leaders.

@Ria_Story and I had a great time speaking to them for the 7th time.

You can pretty much live anywhere in the USA…travel to the boat for a few weeks of life on the water followed by a few weeks back home. They have a wide variety of schedules.

💥Most blue-collar leaders have never received any leadership development.

⚠️As a result, they don’t develop themselves or their team members in this area.

🛑Stop waiting on your boss to develop you. They most likely never will.

🔥YOU develop YOU!

High impact leadership is always uncomfortable because high impact leaders always take responsibility for their team’s performance.

Low impact leadership is a bit more comfortable because low impact leaders tend to dodge responsibility and blame their team for their performance.

Blame may make you feel good, but it will never make you look good.

Lead with purpose!

Do you have the character needed to lead at a higher level?

If so, 10 Values of High Impact Leaders will help you think at a higher level, so you can lead at a higher level. Available as paperback, audiobook, and ebook on Amazon.

Keep climbing!

🔥I want to help you climb to the next level and beyond‼️

🤷‍♂️In my 20 year blue-collar career as an employee (1988-2008), no leader ever invested one penny or one minute teaching me the principles of personal growth and leadership development.

💪When I discovered it in 2008, I made it my lifelong mission to share what I was learning with as many blue-collar men and women as I could.

🔥High impact leaders accept responsibility and take ownership.

‼️When there’s a problem, leaders know it may not be their fault, but it’s their responsibility.

🔥Toxic people can’t hold you back without your permission‼️

💥You don’t have to work with toxic people.

If you think you do, it’s because you don’t have better options.

If you don’t have better options, it’s because you haven’t developed yourself.

❓Don’t know where to start❓

⚠️WARNING: The answer may surprise you. It may even upset those who like to blame others for their choices which determine their circumstances.

If no one would work for a bad boss, the bad boss wouldn’t have a job.

High impact people who intentionally develop themselves have A LOT of options.

One option is they don’t have to follow bad bosses, so they don’t.

❓Tired of following a bad boss?

💪Visit https://t.co/hvvkwLWVzl and discover some NO or LOW cost development resources that will help you start developing options as you grow…one of which will be to fire the bad boss (quit) and find a better one.
