    Episode 37: Don't Just Be a Leader, Be a Black Belt Leader

    What does it mean to be a truly incredible leader? Unfortunately, just because someone holds a position of leadership, doesn’t mean they should. Often times that leader has found themselves there because the leaders that put them there do not understand what actually makes a good leader, and they have been chosen for the wrong reasons. So how do we recognize great leaders, and more importantly, how do we ensure that we are leading well. Because the real question is not how to make someone else more effective through your leadership. The real question is are you able to effectively lead yourself first. Two-time martial arts Hall of Fame inductee and two time best-selling author, Dr. John Terry of the Black Belt Leader stops by to help us on this journey with his wisdom, humor, and amazing knowledge in this area. Guest Bio A two-time martial arts Hall of Fame inductee, Dr. John Terry brings years of black belt experience to helping people, young and old, discover and develop the Black Belt Leader within and lead themselves with Black Belt Excellence. They can then use their leadership and influence to create high-performance, people-centric, values-based, non-leader-dependent teams and make an impact right where they are. John is a 2-Time Best Selling Author and an in-demand international public speaker. He is the founder of Black Belt Leadership, the president of Real Life Management, and currently serves as a President's Advisory Council member with Maxwell Leadership.

    Episode 31: Scale Your Business with Your "Right Fit" Clients

    One of the biggest struggles small businesses have is an inability to clearly define their brand and their messaging. They want more clients, and they try to find them by building a new website or through online advertising or other marketing tactics. They expect that these tactics are the magic formula they've been looking for. To make these tactics successful, though, you must have the right message for your audience. Brand is everything that defines your business and it must come first. Otherwise your message is muddled and people have no idea if you're able to solve the problems they need answers to. When you have that clarity, it becomes so much easier for your clients and customers to find you. On this episode of Digital Connections, Gabriel Shields with Benu Creative joins your host Nancee Johnson as they discuss how to get clear on your messaging and your brand, and ultimately, how to attract the right client to scale your business. Guest Bio People hire Benu Creative to help develop authentic brands that create loyalty and trust with their audience and people. As a husband and wife team, owners Gabriel and Kelly Shields understand how a successful business is like a successful marriage -- it requires two very different people to discover their shared values in order to make healthy and beneficial decisions so they can better the life of the other person. Benu Creative helps businesses look beyond products and services so they market effectively and establish the perfect marriage between a successful brand and successful people.
