LeaderSHIFT Academy



Each week I bring you a tip in the hopes that you not only enjoy the writing but you also implement positive change in your life. After months of planning I'm ready to take this a step further.

Making the SHIFT
It all started when I received my undergraduate degree and entered adulthood. I began to see something akin to an illness all around me.

No matter how many promotions I received or how high I climbed the corporate ladder it was still there, in every level of management.  Even after receiving my MBA surrounded by some of the smartest people I've ever met, there it was, the plague. 

What is this disease I refer to? The lack of sustainably* successful leadership. 

I threw myself into biographies, podcasts and personal development books with the sole purpose of understanding what made a sustainably successful leader tick. Why were there so few?

In July of this year everything fell into place. During a corporate event, Brendon Bruchard spoke about leadership and the job of leaders. He said "teach people how to think and challenge people to do more."  

I was sitting in the audience with my business partner and a fire was lit in us that day.  All the research was showing it's worth and we had a plan.

Over the next  month we identified 8 characteristics, leadershift laws, that sustainably successful people embodied. We redesigned training for our team, a how to guide of success, only this time it would be how to THINK.

In order for this to be successful it would require a paradigm shift in thinking. And so the term LeaderSHIFT was born. Without a willingness to shift your mindset, a true leader cannot exist. 

Who is LeaderSHIFT for?
As we finished the training materials an idea grew. This wasn't just for our team but for everyone we knew.  Leadership is all around us, when we come to the aid of others, when we express our opinions at work, how we raise our children. Leadership is what each and every person practices day in and day out.

Who wouldn't want to lead their organization, their family, themselves better? And for this reason this 30 day course is open to anyone looking for leadership guidance in all facets of their lives.

What is the LeaderSHIFT Academy?
This 30 day course covers the 8 Leadershift Laws with each week focusing on a different goal.
  • An Introduction to each Leadershift Law and why each is important
  • We will focus on tools and tricks to begin utilizing each law in your life on a daily basis through the choices we make. 
  • Learning how to apply the laws isn’t enough, you must fit them into your life, your own way. We will hone the tricks and tips into sustainable, meaningful actions for your everyday life. 
  • Making the Leadershift. It’s one thing to learn these for yourself but to lead others using them makes all the difference.
Are You Ready to SHIFT?
If you're ready to level up your life fill out the academy application and I will contact you within 24 hours to discuss your goals and what is included with the program.

Class starts September 25th and space will be limited so as to keep the class interactive and engaging.

I hope to hear from you!

*The word sustainable is important as I have seen managers burn the candle at both ends. I've seen bosses abuse adderall to finish a project on time only to crash 24 hours later. This my friends is not sustainable nor successful leadership.

That's a Real Baby!

Darren and I got to see our little baby this week! He/she is measuring 13 weeks and 1 day and everything looked healthy. This picture cracks me up because the baby looks like it's pouting because we woke it up.  We did though, the tech was pushing on my belly like I do when I'm trying to get into pair of jeans that are too small!  Baby Hawk wouldn't move! Enter the Kashi cereal bar.  I hadn't eaten in nearly 4 hours (the appointment was VERY long) so I ate my Kashi bar that I always keep in my purse for ultrasound emergencies. BOOM, baby Hawk was wiggling and sucking and even looked like he/she was sucking it's thumb! Yes, this is indeed my baby, I go nuts for food too! I do think the profile looks like Darren though. Darren makes this cute pouty face when he's being funny.  So, the mystery is solved, this is Darren's baby. Whew, we were wondering. I'm totally kidding people! This picture is sort of creepy to me but I must share my 3-D picture. I...

To Stella

I thought it would be fun to write a letter to you before I met you. We could read it together later and laugh about how clueless I was about you! Dear Stella, It's Christmas 2011 and I honestly haven't thought at all about the holiday this year.  All I can think about is March, when I get to meet you for the first time.  Your Dad and I went to the hospital this week to check out where you would be born! I thought for sure going to the hospital would make me anxious but instead it made me incredibly excited. What a gift it is to bring someone into the world and because of you I get to experience that.  You have no idea how much you were prayed for, wanted, hoped for, for so many years. I always knew I wanted to be a mother, even back in high school when I worked in a toy store and joked about getting my tubes tied. :-) But, when I found out about YOU I couldn't have been happier.  I remember standing in the bathroom completely convinced that I had willed ...

2012 Highlights

So I'm obviously abandoning my attempt to try to capture every Saturday in Stella's life. I now realize that's impossible. Plus, not everything in the world happens on a Saturday. It's the fun/sad/crazy moments that are the ones you want to remember right? (by sad I mean "my baby's growing up" sniff sniff)  And those usually happen on a random Tuesday or something. So I'm going to attempt in this last post of the year (and some of you may be saying "your only post this year", no I had like 7 okay...ha ha) to remember the BEST moments of my life in 2012. You may want to go pee, eat something and bring a drink back, this sucker's going to be long. Our House January 1st we moved into our house. I love our house. It is seriously a fairytale house and neighborhood where I want my babies to grow up. I have a nightmare once a month that involves us moving, I usually wake up very sad. Odd, yes. Apparently you know you're old when you...
