    Leading and Winning in Races Around the World with Conrad Humphreys

    Send a text Sometimes we can learn a lot about leading a business team by stepping outside the business world and examining a successful sports team. In sports, if you want to win at the top level, there are so many things you have to do well beyond just the physical skills - such as building a strong team culture, mentally preparing for adversity and building the right leadership model for your mission. While not all sports require the same level of teaming, sailing does. Thus, it’s a great place to look at how teams win and lose.    ⬇️ Connect with me! ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wanda-wallace-publicspeaker-author-podcasthost/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wandatwallace/ ► Main YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wandawallace/ ► X: https://x.com/AskWanda ► Website: https://www.wandawallace.com/ 💡 About the show: There is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth.

    Send a text I have watched several high performing leaders take two steps up in their career at once, land themselves on the executive committee and find that they are not prepared for the challenges of operating at that level. The fallout is not good for the individual, the top team or the organization. What are they missing? What does it take to be ready to participate at the top level of an organization?

    Leadership and Values with Robert Glazer

    Send a text Leaders do need to understand their core values because these values drive behavior, relationships and decisions. Having clear values gives a bottom line for making tough decisions. Clear values help you know when to say no and stand your ground, rather than getting swept along with the tide of whatever is happening at their company. And clear values help leaders maintain their authentic identity in the midst of all the changes organizations require. The challenge is how to understand your values at a meaningful level. How can you do more than say you stand for honestly, customers and trust – something everyone says or should say?  ⬇️ Connect with me! ► LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wanda-wallace-publicspeaker-author-podcasthost/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wandatwallace/ ► Main YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wandawallace/ ► X: https://x.com/AskWanda ► Website: https://www.wandawallace.com/ 💡 About the show: There is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth.
