Deep down, you know you were born to lead.
If you’re ready now to become a more Respected, Inspired, and Successful Leader…
You’re in the right place.
Over the past 25 years in business, I’ve come to appreciate two important elements as it relates to leadership:
1) There is a leader in ALL of us.
2) The ONLY way to create a lasting legacy as a leader is to:
- Truly love the game
- Effectively read the field & lead the huddle
- Confidently play your position
The Lionheart Leadership Playbook has been built with these foundational elements in mind.
What Makes A Great Leader?
Mastery over the delicate balance between going first in an industry,
and going last within your own business.
As an Industry Leader…
You must have the willingness, ability, and confidence to forge ahead into uncharted terrain.
But…
This is only possible when you have a team (including yourself) that wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled.
This is not just some crazy, unattainable, idealized notion of some fantasy business – It is 100% possible for you and your organization.
But…
Step one is taking a good hard look in the mirror at your own business leadership abilities. You can start this process by simply clicking the “As a Business Leader…” tab above.
As a Business Leader…
You must have the willingness to sacrifice your own comfort for those on your team.
It’s well-known that senior military officers take their place behind junior officers in the mess hall line. As a father of three daughters, I appreciate that this “leaders eat last” gesture is symbolic of a much greater concept: putting the wellbeing of others first, which translates from the battlefield, to personal life, and to your business.
What are the magic ingredients that separate successful businesses – those where trust runs so deep that teammates are willing to go to the ends of the earth for one another – from their mediocre competitors where, no matter what incentives are offered, the pervasive mentality is “what’s in it for me?”
Truth is, it’s not magic at all – There’s a winning playbook for it.

The silent majority go to work everyday disconnected from what they do, and more importantly, why they do it. How do I know? I lived it for decades.
When the heart’s not in it, the revenue-destructing byproducts are things like office politics, high turn-over, and runaway self-interest.
The good news is, there’s another way – The Lionheart Leadership Playbook.

If your business has lost its way or has become a hamster wheel of frustration, you’re not alone. When this happens, fear inevitably creeps in and often leads to panicked decisions and knee-jerk reactions – Neither of which are likely to help you find your way into the end zone.
The best leaders love the game, stay connected to it, and have the ability to rise up, sit outside of the problem, and look for the themes and real issues that are getting in the way of success.
To this end, one of the most simple – yet powerful – problem-solving tools in a leader’s arsenal is the ability to effectively connect or re-connect others to why they’re playing the game. It’s all about clarity and alignment.
I’ve coached many clients to master this critical skill to help grow their businesses.
And I can coach you too.
What Your Business Stands To Gain:
- Increased Alignment – A new perspective to unify and energize your team around a clear and shared purpose
- Profitable Growth – Simple tools to enable quicker, better and proactive decision-making
- More Trust – A priceless skill that supports you to go beyond listening and really hear what your team is saying
- Greater Confidence – A beacon to help you and your team confidently face adversity and stay on course throughout the business journey
“The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
~ George Bernard Shaw
Something special happens in a huddle between plays. A leader reads the field, connects with the entire team, manages their energy, and instructs them on the next play. This is a critical step, often missing, or improperly implemented in most businesses today.
In a world where technology desperately attempts to keep us connected, we’ve actually become more disconnected than ever, in our personal lives and in business.
This disconnection often manifests itself in businesses through ineffective communication, unproductive meetings, and ultimately lower engagement and morale – All of which have a direct cost to your bottom line.
By sharing a few simple philosophies and proven frameworks that speak to the heart of human connection, I’ve helped countless leaders build deeper relationships with their teams and their customers.
And now I’d like to share them with you.
What Your Business Stands To Gain:
- Improved Communication – Understanding when best to communicate with your head, your heart, or your gut
- More Time – Run focused, efficient, and effective meetings
- Greater Harmony – Quickly resolve conflict without creating winners and losers
- Deeper Relationships – Communication that builds trust, engagement, and loyalty
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
~ Ernest Hemingway
I may not have always been the best player on the field, but I always seemed to be the team captain because I knew how to lead – I didn’t try to win the game by myself.
Out of necessity, many bootstrapping entrepreneurs and business owners are wired and conditioned to “solve.” However, as the business begins to grow, their focus typically remains on “solving,” leaving less time to empower others and deepen capability within the team. Left unchecked, this common scenario can stunt innovation, initiative, and growth.
From my experience, the best leaders know when to consult and when to coach; they know when to train and when to facilitate; they know the power of being a mentor.
The best leaders are constantly grooming their successors and hold a fundamental belief that there is always someone who can do it better.
What Your Business Stands To Gain:

- Enhanced Coaching Techniques – Simple and proven methodologies to move through indecision and propel your team forward
- Greater Leadership Agility – Explore the five key management levers and when and how to use them
