Hello there. So I'm really excited to announce a brand new program for first time CEOs called trim instinct to mastery. This program is all about elevating you. So you can take the business to the place that it needs to be. So the reason you're sat in that CEO chair is your instinct. You know what to do in any given situation. It's got you to this point in your career has helped you build the organization you've already built. I want to take that instinct or turn that into mastery. So future success just feels effortless. You're extremely comfortable as the CEO. Of the business you're operating in. So I've spent the last five years working with CEOs at all levels, from all different types of organizations. And many of them are first time CEOs. I've taken the learnings from. These experiences and I've created a five step signature program that we'll work through together to elevate you to be a master CEO. All right. Let's look at those five parts. Shall we? It's the first part of the program is all about sharpening your leadership edge. So, what do I mean by that? Well, it's defining what it means for you to be a leader. You are unique, your business's unique. There's no point imitating another CEO. You need to be the CEO that plays to your strengths. So we will craft your unique style of leadership. Okay. You're no cookie cutter CEO. We want to define what leadership means for you. And once we understand what it means for you, we can then craft a team. A C-suite team around you that compliment you. If you're a visionary. When you to employ operators around you, we need to create a C-suite team that has complimentary not conflicting superpowers so that you're all pulling in the same direction. So coaching is not about fixing you or improving you. Or dealing with the things you're not great at, not at all. It's the exact opposite and sharpening or leadership edge is all about uncovering what that leadership edge is. Uh, building a team around you, that place to your combined strengths. So part two of this program is all about doing what needs to be done. Cliche alert. Being a CEO is a bit like being on a roller coaster, but not perhaps in the way that you might think. Let's talk about when you're in line for that rollercoaster. And there are two emotions that you typically see for people that are in line for a roller coaster. One of them is excitement. I'm pretty excited about doing this, that exhilarating feeling. This is going to be fun. And the other feeling that you see is, is fear is those people are scared. I'm really nervous about this. I don't know if I can do it. I'm going to leave. Those two feelings are pretty much the same thing. The two sides of the same coin, the only thing that's different is the, or what is the person's outlook towards that feeling? I want to make sure we embrace that with you. If it doesn't feel exciting and a little bit scary. You're not being bold enough. We will explore when you feel like this. In situations where you thought, you know, you're feeling that emotion there, maybe it's making dramatic changes in the C-suite. Maybe it's people who, you know, really aren't performing at their best. You need to. Um, to move on. How can you do that? Right? If the feeling's there and it feels difficult. That shows you're doing the right thing. We'll embrace that and work towards it. Similarly, in terms of, um, other bold moves that you may need to make. No an acquisition or divestiture, a large restructure. Launching to a new market. All of those things can be both potentially exciting and potentially scary. We will explore that feeling if it doesn't feel like that it's not bold enough. And we will make sure that you push through that feeling and get the results that are on the other side of it. Because the challenge with that feeling is not only can it push you forward if it's very, very exciting, but can also pull you back. It's very, very scary. You find excuses or reasons not to do the things you need to do. We will make sure that doesn't happen to you. So the bold things that, you know, you have to do get done. Part three. It's true clarity. Successful leaders have a crisp vision. You know what they're working towards, you know what they're trying to achieve. We will create that for you. And creating a Christmas, a vision is something that's very succinct, very easy to explain something that's very, very easy to grasp for those around you. And from that true clarity comes in ease of communication. So fingers very comfortable when you're communicating vision in a particular situation. And from that ease of communication comes a level of confidence from you. And simply it comes down to practice. We will practice and practice and practice for start your vision, and that will crisp up your communication. And that will lead to a level of confidence in yourself and the way you communicate with people. It's all about upleveling your presence. Both when you're in the room and when you're not. And we will start with your vision, but we'll move this to all aspects of the way that you communicate. Anytime you're in a meeting. Having a conversation with somebody there'll be a real crispness to the way that you speak and define what needs to be done. It was seemed very, very easy for people to communicate for you. Okay. The level of words that you need to speak will actually go down because the level of crispness will go up. You'll gain confidence from that. And then through that will come that up. Level in presence. Part four. It's about taking greatness from you. And bringing that into the DNA of the company. So many CEOs achieve this through sheer force of will. All right. They are the driving force. Behind the business and it being great. Typically that involves and takes a lot of energy from them that takes many hours from then. And ultimately that can learn to be, to burn out. It doesn't have to be like that. There was a different way. We need to define what greatness really is. And ultimately it's pretty simple. Greatness is just being good consistently. And we will take the two elements of that. And define them within your business. We will look at what does good mean across your business. Okay. What does that mean to be good in all operational elements of your business? We'll then take that definition and the measurements associated with it. And we will build process around it. We will define processes. So that we systemize and processize and operationalize. Good within the business. Now. Typically what we see, what I see with most CEO's is your normally good at one of those things, right. Normally you're great at defining what good is and all you're really great at to finding and building consistency. Okay. You either a visionary or you are an operator, we will make sure that we partner you up in your C-suite with somebody who has a complimentary skill set to you. Right. Most CEOs, typically visionaries, we will make sure that you have a CEO who can lead initiatives like this, who can build that consistency into the organization so that you don't have to. Sure. You'll be the visionary behind this. And we'll take true clarity, as we mentioned before into this process. But ultimately this is about. Building greatness into the company DNA at very, very basic level. It's the final part of the process, then part five. It's all about humility. Because all business problems. Our human problems. We will take an embrace psychology. We will look at what's really happening with the people in your organization. I have a signature method that I call the human dynamics MRI. Allow you to see beneath the surface level conversation, the surface level interaction to actually really what's going on in your C-suite with your board of directors in all human situations, it'll give you an insight and an understanding to see beneath the surface to truly know what the core problem is. You need to solve, not the surface level problem that you're presented with. We'll dramatically. Up-level your ability and skillset through psychology to truly understand what the human dynamics are in any situation that you're in. And what you'll achieve from that. It's an elevation in your presence. Your communication skills will increase. You'll know exactly what to say in any given human situation. You're not dealing with the surface level. You'll deal with the core thing. And then embrace the fact that for you to be great at what you do, you need to be great at psychology and to truly understand the humans that you are working with. So you are no longer a founder or a manager or a finance or product or sales or marketing expert. You're a leader. And that requires an Uplevel to both your mindset and your skillset. It's time for mastery. Now working with me is not for the faint of heart because you'll know average CEO and I'm no average coach dramatic results require a commitment for you to be continuously up leveling. If you'd like to make that commitment towards me, it starts with a very simple conversation. Okay. We'll arrange a time to talk and we'll, we will. Look at the boundaries of how this could work together. From that we'll move into a complimentary coaching session just to see what magic we can co-create together, because I want to make sure this. Relationship. We built together. Works on both sides. If you're not prepared to change or to up level yourself. I don't want to work with you. Equally. If I am not the person who can make that change within you, we shouldn't be working together. So drop me a line down here. Let's start this. It's time to move from instinct to mastery.
