Sharp Leader Motivational Speaker from Kansas City, MO

Sharp Leader focuses on non-cognitive skills to build or restore the mental toughness and resilience necessary to navigate life via a strong moral compass. Some professionals see the label "non-cognitive" as derogatory in nature and chose to call it "executive function" or "socioemotional skills" and even "soft skills." Here at Sharp Leader we like to think of it as true grit: the ability to sustain a pattern of solid effort toward your goals in the face of adversity. We are talking about persistence, focus, confidence, team work, organization, relationship building and so on. I Develop leaders capable of making difficult decisions in whatever circumstance they find themselves in. MY LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY: 1. Leaders who reach the end of their rope have no choice but to make more rope. 2. Leaders must have a vision: Where are we going, who's coming along, what are we doing, and for what purpose? 3. Leaders must know how to fail. More importantly, leaders must allow their people to fail without necessarily becoming a failure. 4. Leaders will never know as much as their people on the ground; empower them to make decisions. MY MISSION: Build strong, resilient, and mentally tough leaders who can take charge of any situation or circumstance which presents itself while being a role model for others to follow. MY VISION: Bring inspiration, leadership qualities, and confidence to individuals, families, and organizations to ensure our next generation of leaders is ready for the challenge. MY VALUES: - Integrity - Excellence - Respect - Confidence - Resilience - Passion - - Build The Team - - Embrace & Drive Change - - Develop Others - - Learn To Suffer - - Fail Forward - I am a highly proficient and sophisticated professional with over ten years of experience in the art of military leadership. I enjoy helping individuals, teams, and organizations grow in every way possible. Having grown up on Chicago city streets, surviving cancer, Ranger School, and a myriad of ultimate life challenges, I know suffering, I know grit, and I know leadership. Sharp Leader is focused on motivating the next generation leader to accomplish great things and truly make an impact. *******.**********.***
