Learn to turn tough feedback into growth by pausing to listen, capturing specifics, focusing on 1–2 improvements, and choosing a targeted tool to practice.
Embrace mistakes to build trust and stronger relationships by owning the situation, learning from missteps, making amends, and openly sharing lessons to foster a learning and innovative leadership culture.
Live your values by aligning your speech and actions with your core beliefs, recognizing the diverse values around you, reflecting weekly, talking about them, and speaking up when inconsistent.

Please note: I am a world-class leadership and success expert who wants to get you moving forward quickly. Success is knowing the small number of things that, if done correctly, really drive your growth. That’s why there is no wasted time or excess hours included in any of my courses. I strictly focus on the essentials and how to act on them immediately.
My courses are different for a few very specific reasons. I hold a world-class Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior. I am a former award-winning professor who taught MBA students for over a decade. My clients include Google, IBM, ExxonMobil, Kraft Heinz, and hundreds more. I’ve delivered several TEDx talks and have created many online courses enjoyed by millions of learners at the world’s top companies and universities. I combine elite expertise, with a professional speaker’s ability to communicate, and a highly practical approach that makes learning actionable.
Speaking of action, I always include a few useful activities to make the learning come to life. This course contains three (addressing how to accept tough feedback, how to use mistakes to drive personal growth, and how to be authentic at work). When you start to apply what we’ll talk about – that’s when learning sticks.
When you take this course I will expand your knowledge, help you feel more motivated, and make you ready to move your career forward.
