🚨 Top Talent Isn’t Looking at You — But They Should Be 🚨 After 20+ years of working with truly great companies — ones with incredible culture, mission-driven leadership, and real career paths — I’ve seen a frustrating pattern: The loudest brands aren’t always the best. And the best companies? Too often they stay quiet, worried that promoting their culture will come off as “cringey” or fake. But here’s the truth: if you don’t own your employer brand, someone else will… or worse, no one will care. In this short video, I break down: ✅ Why most companies struggle to attract the right talent ✅ What real employer branding actually means (it’s not showing off) ✅ How to build a recruitment brand that filters in great people — and filters out the wrong ones ✅ Where to start if you want to elevate your Employer Brand Value (EBV) If you’re a founder, leader, or talent pro — and you want to finally become the kind of company that top candidates are drawn to… 🎯 Watch this. 🧠 Let’s brainstorm together. 📅 Book a free audit here: calendly.com/jason-79 💬 And please share with anyone who should hear this message.

The One Minute Manager Just finished a quick recap of one of the most enduring leadership books out there: The One Minute Manager by Ken Blanchard. It’s simple, powerful, timeless. Here’s the punchline: Great leadership isn’t about long meetings or micromanaging. It’s about micro-moments—short, intentional acts that drive clarity, care, and course correction. 💡 3 Habits in 3 Minutes a Day: • One Minute Goals – Clear expectations. No gray zones. • One Minute Praisings – Catch people doing it right. Reinforce it fast. • One Minute Re-Directs – Handle misses early, kindly, and directly. My biggest takeaway? 👉 Bite-sized, real-time feedback beats the annual review every time. Still relevant 40+ years later—and still shaping how great leaders lead! 🎥 Watch the full 60-second video attached.

🛡️ Trust is the foundation of high-performing teams. 🛡️ Just finished Leaders Eat Last by Simon Sinek—and it’s a very compelling read on what real leadership looks like. The core idea? Great leaders create a Circle of Safety—an environment where people feel protected, not threatened. When that happens: ✅ Trust deepens ✅ Collaboration flourishes ✅ Loyalty grows ✅ Performance skyrockets Sinek draws from biology, history, and the military to show how empathy—not fear—is the true driver of sustainable success. 💬 One quote that stuck with me: “Leadership is not about being in charge. It’s about taking care of those in your charge.” 📽️ Watch the video above for a 60-second takeaway. 👇 Would love to hear how you build trust in your organization. #Leadership #SimonSinek #LeadersEatLast #Empathy #Culture #Teamwork #Trust #ServantLeadership #ValorFront

Are you an Actualized Leader — or leading from fear? Here’s some powerful insight from leadership psychologist and my friend, Dr. Will Sparks: “When we lead from fear, we don’t show up as our best selves. We show up as our shadow.” 🚨 3 Shadow Types (Fear-Based Leadership Styles): 👉 The Complier — avoids conflict, fears rejection 👉 The Controller — micromanages, fears vulnerability 👉 The Victim — blames others, fears failure 🌟 3 Actualized Types (True Leadership Potential): ✅ The Achiever — disciplined, results-driven ✅ The Affirmer — empathetic, team-focused ✅ The Asserter — bold, visionary, confident 🧭 When we face our fears and do the inner work, we lead from strength — not defense mechanisms. That’s the essence of Actualized Leadership. 🔗 I’ll drop a link to Dr. Sparks’ free Actualized Leadership Assessment at the end of this video and in the comments. Let’s know our shadow 👤, own our fear 💪, and lead from our actualized self. That’s where transformation begins. #LeadershipDevelopment #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAwareness #WillSparks #ActualizedLeadership #ExecutiveCoaching #ServantLeadership #KnowYourself #GrowYourself #TransformationalLeadership #ValorFront
