Getting Beyond Great!

September 24, 2014 Dallas, TX

Presented by: Joe Contrera

#1- WAKE UP and GET CONSCIOUS of your talents and strengths.

Wake Up to your Talents & Strengths

1. StrengthsFinder 2.0 by Tom Rath 2. Take your top 5 (DNA) and rate yourself

(scale 1-10) how well are you utilizing your strengths in your business? As a leader?

3. Pick one and ask yourself what would raise it +1, +2, etc.

4. Do it for 30 days and …

Bonus Leader Points (pay it forward): After 30 days show someone the same path.

#2 - EMBRACING your strengths will keep you ENGAGED

and lead you to your PURPOSE

Are You Engaged AS A LEADER?

1. You’re engaged with your people, your clients, your industry (SC& RA).

2. You get a sense of full - fill - ment in doing what you do and you have a desire to help people reach their potential.

3. You’re engaged in your own personal development.

#3 - Leadership is not a reward for

Performance … it’s a CALLING!

Discover The Truth About Your Leadership

Ask Them 3 Questions: 1.What works about me as a leader? 2.What doesn’t? 3.What is the one thing I could do that

would have the single-most positive impact on my business, my people, and my clients?

Ask Yourself 1 Question: Am I willing to do whatever it takes to move to the next level of success?

#4 - Authenticity Can Transform the Ordinary into the Extraordinary

Authentic Leaders … 1. Show Up – No facades, no masks.

2. Know what needs to get done because

they know who they are. They are clear and decisive.

3. Don’t get trapped in the reasons why something can’t be done … they find ways to get things done with whatever resources they have. And people follow because they TRUST them.

Testing Your Authenticity

1. The Light Test: What happens when you are held up to the light? Are you Faux Real?

2. The Flatness Test: Authentic leaders are sharp, well-defined, and clear. They do not have blurry areas you know where they stand.

3. The Security Thread Test: Do you have the trust of your people and

your clients. You either have it … or you don’t.
