Still have a few questions? Read below.
Who else will be in Lead Ignited?
The diversity of the group is one of the most interesting parts. You’ll meet both senior and mid-level managers from a variety of industries including manufacturing, healthcare, technology, human services, insurance, and education. Most importantly, the class size is small. So, you’ll get a lot of individual attention.
How do I know Lead Ignited will address my issues?
Our goal is to achieve your goals. So, we begin by meeting with you and your supervisor to understand your objectives. Then, on the first day, we’ll work with the group to develop an agenda that addresses everyone’s top priorities. We’ll use your one-on-one coaching sessions to address your unique needs and to make sure you’re applying your new skills.
How are the classes structured?
Every other Thursday from 8:30 - 10:30 Eastern Time, we hold a virtual session for a total of four months. In advance of each session, you'll complete about 30 minutes of prework. Throughout our time together, you’ll participate in various assessments, case studies, problem solving challenges, creative thinking, book reviews, and a lot of group discussion to share ideas and feedback. Even though you’ll be busy, our approach is very informal and engaging. It’s a great way to invest in yourself and re-energize for the future!
What is the cost?
At Work Ignited, we recognize that the fee for our services is your investment in anticipation of higher levels of performance and ultimately, greater financial return. So we strive to offer our high quality service at a fair value. The fee for participation is just $1297.
What if I miss a session?
Most likely, you won't want to. Previous participants have told us that this is the best part of their week. But, we understand that you might have to miss a session, especially if you're on vacation. All sessions are recorded and housed on our private course site. You can watch (or re-watch) them any time.
Can we bring Lead Ignited in house?
We're happy to facilitate Lead Ignited for a team of your high-potential leaders. We'll build a customized program to meet your unique needs. We'll even help design mentoring programs and follow-up action learning programs to keep the learning going.
The best time to ignite your leadership skills is today.
I know you're busy and perhaps feeling overwhelmed or worried about taking something like this on.
There's no doubt the world is quickly changing - hybrid workforces and today's economy are creating a lot of uncertainty and challenges. I hear you, friend, and I'm here for you.
I truly believe that there's never been a better (or more important) time to double down on building your leadership skills. Today's workforce is looking for a sense of purpose, social connections, and to feel valued for the difference they make. That takes a new set of skills that you might not have needed in the past. Not only will Lead Ignited give you those skills, it will give you the discipline to put them in place as small, daily habits. So, they are easy!
I don't want you to look back in 6 or even 12 months with those same problems sitting on your desk, wondering what could have been if you only took action.
I want you to feel proud of what you accomplished and confident in what you can achieve. Plus, I want you to have a whole bunch of new friends that share your passion for leadership and will cheer you on!

The One Thing I Wish I Knew When I Started Making B2B Sales Calls
When I first started my business, I was really intimidated by people in power. I’d be invited to speak to family-business owners whose names were on their buildings or CEO’s running multi-billion dollar companies.
Thoughts went through my head like:
What if they’ve met with other coaches that are more sophisticated than me?
What if I don’t have answers to their questions?
What if I look like an idiot compared to them?
Who am I to give them advice?
My confidence was so low and imposter syndrome crept in as I headed into every sales call. But you know what? That was all in my head.
The one thing I wish I knew when I started making B2B sales calls is:
CEO's and other decision makers are regular people, just like you and me.
In over 20 years, every time I’ve mustered up the courage to go to those meetings, it has worked out just fine. You see, business decision makers are people, just like you and me. They have problems. They are looking for solutions. I have solutions and so do you.
In fact, most of the time, they've loved my ideas and they were grateful for my time and insight. I've really come to enjoy getting to know and serving many executives. I've learned so much from them - I hope as much as they have learned from me.
Have I come across a few jerks in my time? Definitely. I once worked with a third generation CEO of a defense contractor. I was invited to administer a series of assessments for him by an executive coach with whom he was working. It was the toughest meeting I've had. He was a real challenger. He felt he couldn't include his executive team in decisions because he didn't trust them to keeps things confidential. He also felt "The Art of War" was an excellent guide for managing his employees. Yep, he was a real doozy.
Knowing this going in, I prepared extensively, so I'd be at the top of my game. Throughout the entire meeting, I just kept thinking, "I don't care if I ever see this person again." Guess what? A few months ago I read in the paper that he had been terminated from the company by his Board of Directors.
Here's the secret to feeling more confident when you're meeting with executive decision makers:
Redefine failure in your mind. FAIL = First Attempt In Learning. Success is hardly possible without failure. If you're not failing, you're probably not pushing yourself to new levels.The more you fail, the more likely you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
Do your homework. The more prepared you are, the more confident you will be.
Define your ideal or best client. Do you really want to work for a decision maker who is intimidating or uncaring about people? Imagine the culture in that organization. Move on and find your dream clients.
Have a willingness to try. Confidence doesn't come overnight. Confidence comes because you have the courage to try a little bit more every day.
So, build up your courage, put your game face on, and knock the ball out of the park at your next meeting with a CEO!
