    Leading Your Team Like the Navy SEALs

    Leading Your Team Like the Navy SEALs There is leadership and then there is leading. The two are not always synonymous. Leadership bases itself in a philosophy. Leading is the actions one takes. When it comes to leading teams, no other group has a track record of leading others like the Navy SEALs. They are put in some of the most dangerous, compromising, and difficult situations and still they overcome the obstacles successfully. What if you could learn some of the ways SEALs are trained when it comes to leading others? Would you be willing to do it? While you may never be in the situations as dangerous as the SEALs, the principles of leading your team with the same fundamentals still applies. In this episode of A New Direction, William Branum Navy SEAL RET'd joins again to deliver insights into leading others, and training your next leader. The book, "Mission Ready: Building High-Performing Teams from the Battlefield to the Boardroom" is a power-packed book that will take you from leadership to "leading your team". The book is filled with great examples and first-hand accounts of how to transform your team, very much the way the Navy SEALs do. The book takes a look at leading your team from the Navy SEAL perspective of being in combat, and then, transitions to see your team from a business view and applying both SEAL and psychological principles of development. The book is one that will resonate with every entrepreneur, small business, medium business, and corporations. Get your copy of "Mission Ready" by clicking here!

    From Doubt to Do – Kat O’Sullivan

    What Doubts do you have that are keeping you from being the person you want to be, and doing what you really desire to do? Are you stuck in your life or your career? Are you really doing what you want to do, or are you doing what you think you have to do? Often times we are stuck because of fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of not being successful. But it all comes down to fear of not taking the risk. And when we fear risk...we limit our potential. The fact is, we all want to stay comfortable. And any change requires discomfort. Especially when it comes to starting something new, or changing a career. It all requires us to practice deliberate discomfort. And the combination of all this creates doubt. And where there is doubt, we become paralyzed. And we are unable to go forward, we miss out on what we could be, and settle for where we are at right now. Helping us get past our doubts to taking calculated risks that can change our lives is Best-Selling author and Keynote Speaker Kat O'Sullivan who joins us on A New Direction. Kat O'Sullivan's book: From Doubt to Do: Navigating Your Pathway to Possibility is a toolkit that will transform your life. If you have ever struggled with doubting yourself, doubting your abilities, or doubting success then this book is for you. The book is a fascinating combination of Kat O'Sullivan's personal biography, actionable steps to success and fulfillment, and workbook to help create more awareness and a more detailed plan for your life and career. I found from "Doubt to Do" to be incredibly refreshing! It is a book that will make you think about where you are right now and what is holding you back from where you want to be.

    Maximizing Profitability as You Grow Your Business

    Maximizing Profitability as You Grow Your Business Did you know that 60% of businesses fail in the first 5 years? That's not all of those that survive the first 5 years, 60% will fail in the next 5 years. Not a recipe for success. The reason...lack of profitability. Profitability doesn't have to be difficult. In fact, there are simple methods that lead to profitability. And businesses with the greatest profitability use these simple methods to sustain their profitability. What are they? And how do you do it? In this episode of A New Direction, Best-selling author and Business Consultant Manny Skevofilax joins us to help you as a business owner grow your business with profitability. Certainly a show you do not want to miss! Manny Skevofilax book, "Ultimate Profit Management: Maximizing Profitability as You Grow Your Business" is a straight forward profitability for your business toolbox. Don't let the length of the book fool you.  It isn't long, but every word matters.  Manny Skevofilax has a philosophy of being economical with his words, which is consistent with his philosophy of profitability for business. The book is a great journey from starting as an entrepreneur, whether you are going to "bootstrap" your business or get outside investors.  He then takes into growth, hiring, watching your money, setting goals, and so much more! I personally loved this book.  This is not a big tool box for profitability, but it is a complete tool box.  Every chapter can stand on its own.  So if you are curious about one area, you can find it in the Ultimate Profit Management.

    12 Principles to Quietly Stand Out – Shy By Design

    Shy By Design 12 Principles to Quietly Stand Out You may be one of those people who consider themselves "shy" making it difficult for you to stand out among the crowd of highly extroverted people. Or you simply may be someone who isn't much of a talker, or in the spotlight type of person, where trying to stand out feels overwhelming. So how does someone still compete and stand out in a world where so many talkers and extroverts dominate the stage? You may believe it is not possible to be in certain industries like sales and be successful, because it requires an extroverted stand out person. Not so fast my friend. In this episode of A New Direction, Global Communication Advisor and leadership lecturer Michael Thompson joins us to help all of us understand that who you are is enough, in his book "Shy By Design: 12 Timeless Principles to Quietly Stand Out." Michael Thompson's book, "Shy by Design: 12 Timeless Principles to Quietly Stand Out" is an outstanding book! This book is not just for the "shy" and "introverted", but also for those of us who are "talkers" and "extroverted". Shy By Design walks us through 12 practical principles that will help everyone stand out. It all starts by accepting who you are, then carefully moves into action steps in your mindset and behavior that create success. I think one of the most powerful lessons in the book is Michael Thompson's story of having a speech stutter and yet becoming a top salesperson. He talks us through becoming more self-aware, and changing the stories we tell ourselves that are keeping us from meeting the potential we were created to be. As an extrovert myself, this book made me stop and consider who may I be running over because I am not paying attention to those who are not like me. I think this book is perfect for the student and adult who struggles in a world where they find it difficult to be seen and create a more successful world for themselves. Make sure to get your copy of Shy by Design. Please reach out to the sponsors of A New Direction who support our show! Linda Craft Team, Realtors for more than 39 years their clients and friends have said when it comes to real estate and going the extra mile and providing a world-class experience, they are the “legends of customer service”.

    Dreams NOT Goals to Build a High Performing Team

    Dreams NOT Goals to Build High Performing Teams What's the first thing you think of when you read the word "dream"? Chances are, the first thing you thought of was something "fanciful" that isn't real. Or perhaps you thought of something that you do when you sleep, but often do not remember. What if I were to suggest to you that dreaming actually works better than goal setting? You probably feel like I just committed heresy! But what if dreaming actually improved your team morale, created higher production and led to more profitability. Now you think I am just crazy. I'm not. And on this episode of A New Direction Division Manager for Vector Marketing, and Best-selling author Dane Espegard joins me to talk about a structured way to get your team to dream that will turn them into high-performers. You may not understand it now, but it will be worth the listen to change you and your team into the people you always hoped they would be. Dane Espegard's book, "The Dream Machine: A Leader's Guide to Creating Teams of High Performers Who Achieve Extraordinary Outcomes" intentionally challenges our thinking. First, it challenges us with the idea that Dreamstorming is more effective than goal setting.  He makes a great case that explains through research and his own team results. Second, he challenges us that as adults we need to get past our skepticism of "Dreaming is just for Kids" and realize that dreaming as an adult actually contributes to our well-being on many different levels both personally and professionally. Dane does a great job giving us relevant, relatable research.  The book is solid.  If you have a "growth mindset" and an "open mindset".  This reader is convinced it works and is ready to implement immediately. Another great aspect to this book is that Dane Espegard doesn't just tell you why dreaming is important to achieving, but gives you the tools to do it! Literally, a step-by-step guide to creating your own dream retreat. The Dream Machine is a great book!  I'm so glad I read it.  Need to run, because I must create my 100 dream, dream list.

    High-Performing Teams Based on Navy Seal Training

    How to Build High-Performing Teams that Operates Like the Navy SEALs If you are in business and have a team, no matter how large or how small, we ultimately want a High-performing team. But have a high-performing team does not happen overnight. And it requires a kind of leadership that quite frankly is not so common in the work place. So, where do you look to find the best, high-performing teams? Perhaps one of the best places to look are the Navy SEALs. One of the elite forces of our military, the Navy SEALs, provide us a tremendous example of how a high-performing team functions under some of the greatest pressure. What if you could apply their principles to your business? Well, dream no more! Because in this episode of A New Direction U.S. Navy SEAL, Senior Chief RET, William Branum joins us to help you build a high-performing team, from his co-authored book "Mission Ready" William Branum and Brenda Neckvatal's book, "Mission Ready: Building High-Performing Teams from the Battlefield to the Boardroom" is an eye-opening look at how Navy SEAL teams operate and how you can operate your business using their principles. The first half of the book Navy SEAL William Branum takes us into a Navy SEAL gunfight and then compares the principles in the gunfight to the fight you face in your business. One of the main principles is SHOOT, MOVE, and COMMUNICATE.  While those principles appear to be straight forward, what you quickly learn is you cannot be just good at one of them to be successful you must be good at all three. To SHOOT in business is something we commonly do. Taking care of this priority, putting out this fire, handling this issue or problem.  But sometimes we can get so stuck shooting we don't move. But to MOVE is so important because we quickly realize if you stay in the same place to long...you will die.  We have to continually MOVE so we can out maneuver our opponent (whatever that may be) so that we can win. Finally, COMMUNICATE.  How often do we have a team meeting telling people what we want them to do and then end the meeting.  That's not communication.  In fact, as William describes, to COMMUNICATE means there is a response. Does your team really understand what you are asking?  Never assume. The book future explores some amazing topics, like "Leaders Don't Get Bullets", "Decentralizing Control and Command, the OODA loop and more. Great book for every member of your business.  But if you want to lead a team like the Navy SEALs, we all have work to do, and it starts with discipline and consistency.  Time to get Mission Ready. Please reach out to the sponsors of A New Direction. Thanks to their financial support, we are able to bring you these great experts and their books to help you live the life you always dreamed of.
