KGS228 | How Leaders Can Reclaim Their Zone of Genius And Become A More Effective Leader with Ana Liebel And Kingsley Grant

2/19/2021

+++ IT'S IN THE GENIUS +++ You may have heard the phrase, "It's in the genes!" Right? Normally when the phrase is used as a way of highlighting skills, it is generally used in a celebratory way to make sure you know this is something that cannot be duplicated because it is in the genes. I tend to see this a lot in the sports industry as players celebrate their skills and pridefully proclaim where those kinds of skills originate. But when last have you heard someone say, "It's in the...

2/3/2021

+++ UNLOCKING SECRET +++ Have you ever felt somewhat stupid, simply by someone quickly solving a problem that you took days and sometimes weeks, trying to figure out? It's a terrible blow to one's ego especially mine when it happens to me. Ouch! It seems like they knew the secret to unlock the problem. I must say, in a few situations, I've been that guy who unlocked the problem, and I can vouch for how good it feels when that happens. What if you knew how to unlock certain secrets by...

KGS225 | Why Leaders Who Tell Vulnerable Stories Like This One Will Quickly Gain The Loyalty Of Their People With Jared Buckley And Kingsley Grant

1/27/2021

+++ STORIES SELL +++ It's amazing how we are more apt to remember stories than we do facts. I'm able to remember a place, person, or event more if I have an associated story attached. However, if you were to tell me facts and expect me to remember as I do stories, forget it. It ain't happening. This is why someone coined this phrase: Facts tell. Stories sell. Oh, how true this is. Why is it then that leaders don't use more stories in communicating with their people? I believe one of...

+++ IN THE EMOTION +++ Look a bit closer and there you'll find it. You might be surprised what you'll discover if you know what you are looking for. You might be wondering what I'm talking about. Right? It's simply those nagging feelings that you have from time to time because of what other people do or say and then not sure what to do about them. Fear. Anger. Frustration. Anxiety.

+++ PASSING IT ON +++ There are many things in life worth passing on to those who are behind us. We have a responsibility as leaders in whatever form that takes, to make sure those we are leading are better equipped for the life ahead of them. But the catch is this: not everyone who is in leadership or has that title is skilled to pass on what is necessary for those following. The good news is that we all can learn how to do a better job IF we are open to learning what it really...

KGS222 | Why Understanding The Link Between Leadership Impact And Blind Spots Is So Important To Your Future Success with Jeff Nischwitz and Kingsley Grant

1/15/2021

+++ YOUR BLINDSPOTS +++ Oh goody ... blindspots. What are they? Where do I look for them? Does everyone have them? Blindspots used in the context of people relationship has to do with the inability to see what others see. That is the simplest way that I can put it. The problem is that some people are not open to receiving feedback that calls attention to their blindspot(s). They will simply deny or ignore it. Make sure you are not one of those who do. Your future success is at...

KGS221 | Why Reputation Management Could Be The Most Important Skill For Leaders In 2021 And Beyond with Bill Coletti and Kingsley Grant

1/14/2021

+++ YOUR REPUTATION +++ I grew up learning the importance of having a good reputation. It was drilled into me that my reputation was one of the most valuable things to protect with everything in me. This idea came from the Proverbs where Solomon made this statement: "A good reputation is more desirable than great wealth ..." As important as great wealth is, reputation beats that hands down. Having a good reputation is also a must for leaders. They need to realize that their reputation...

KGS220 | Learn From This Leadership Mistake That Could Jeopardize That Which You Have Worked So Hard For with Kingsley Grant

1/9/2021

+++ MISS TAKE +++ No, I didn't make a mistake in my spelling. It was intentional. But that is not what mistakes are. They are not intentional. It is something that happens because you or I attempted something that didn't work out the way we thought. That what a mistake is. Some people are afraid of attempting new things because of the possibility of making a mistake. They want to have such a "perfect" record that they don't attempt something new; take risks. But that is not only how we...

KGS219 | Why Leaders Who Practice Kindness Make The Best Kind Of Leaders Especially During Times Of Change with Cole Baker Bagwell and Kingsley Grant

12/10/2020

+++ AH, KINDNESS +++ There are some words that are seemingly becoming extinct in the times we are living in. Kindness happens to be one of them. It would seem that people, in general, forgot how to be kind, not to mention many of those that have been assigned the title of a leader. Is it any wonder why a leader who practices kindness, tends to garnish the support of their people in ways that are hard to explain? I've seen this many times over. Unfortunately, the narrative that gets the...

KGS218 | Essential Skills Effective Leaders Use to Lead and Succeed in Todays Workplace by Brett Cooper and Evans Kerrigan with Kingsley Grant

12/5/2020

+++ ALWAYS ESSENTIAL +++ How often have you heard the terms non-essential and essential as it relates to the pandemic and lock-downs? Have you, like me, ever wondered who determines something or someone as essential? To classify something or someone as essential means everything or everyone else is non-essential. Is that what is being conveyed? Here's what I know, the label of essential is determined by who is in need at the moment. To the hungry, it's the one who provides food. To the...

If it did, we would have a lot of perfect people in the world, by now. Wouldn't we? So many have practiced so hard and yet come up short ... because it is impossible. And when you've put in all the work and not get the perfection that was promised, you become frustrated. Am I right or am I right? Here's what I...

KGS216 | Why Emotional Self Awareness Is The Most Important Skill You Need To Succeed As A Leader by Kingsley Grant

11/18/2020

+++ YES, AND IN LIFE +++ Notice the word AND. It is a very useful word when you want to truly engage people in a conversation. It is the opposite of using the word BUT. How many times have you been in conversation and someone says something and follows up immediately with the word BUT? When he or she did, what was your gut reaction? If you are like me, your system went into alert and tensed up as you braced for what would come next. Isn't that so? The word BUT tend to negate all that...

+++ PLATE IS FULL +++ Do you feel at times that your "plate" is so full that if you added one more task to it, you would go insane? I have been there. And the crazy thing is that sometimes I find a way to add one more task to my plate. Isn't that crazy? I'm sure I'm not the only one. You might have done the same thing as well. The question is, why do we do that to ourselves? Let me make it more personal, why do I do that to myself? Do you have an answer? I do know what you and I need....

But if you look long and hard, you'll find someone who does. None of us are exempt from struggles. With that in mind, we can safely say, we are not the only one that has a certain struggle even though we may feel that way at times. As a coach and licensed therapist, I get to hear people's struggles constantly. One of the struggles that are...

KGS213 | How To Use Soft Skills To Build Your People To Be Tough As Steel with Dennis Doran and Kingsley Grant

10/30/2020

+++ SOFT AS STEEL +++ I know this sounds like a contradiction. Right? Soft and steel don't go together. Is this a mistake? On the surface, it seems like these two words should not be used together because steel is always seen as something tough. As a matter of fact, those are the words that are used together: tough as steel. However, there is a term which I'm sure you have heard, which is, soft skills. You've heard that, right? Unfortunately, the way the phrase soft skills is normally...

You will find some overlap here and there but for the most part, you are going to decide which list is most accurate. I must admit that they all will have something helpful for the reader. I have benefited from that myself. But at the end of the day, I'm left to decide for myself because it's too much to sift through. Has that been your experience? What if this list could be...

9/30/2020

+++ IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TOOL +++ Mark Twain quote, "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail." I use this quote quite often with some of my clients in helping them to add more tools to their "toolbox" so they can have more options available to them. The more tools you have the better the chance of success. One of the issues we face is deciding what our next tool should be. Sometimes we don't know what it should be especially when it is not something tangible. For example, in...
