Leadership
for a World in Transition
Create Leader-Rich Lives and Organizations
Apply The Circle of Impact Model
All leadership begins with personal initiative. When we take initiative, we focus on making a difference that matters. This difference we call impact because it changes things for the better. Circle of Impact Leadership is how our personal character is expressed in the actions that we take in all aspects of life.
The Circle of Impact is a guide to creating an impact-rich life. Seeing our lives making a meaningful difference helps us to see the unlimited potential that we have together. The Circle of Impact is a model that helps organizations transition into being leader-rich ones. It all begins with a change in our self-perception as we come to believe that we can make a difference in the world.
Apply the Circle of Impact as a guide for personal development, problem-solving, team building and organizational transformation.

Speaking Topics
Leading for Impact
Leadership used to be understood as a function of an organization’s operating structure. Today, leadership is seen as a function of individual character and human performance. Leading for Impact presents a perspective of what a leader-rich organization looks like. In the past, the focus in many organizations was on what a person did, the activities of their job. Now, we look at the impact that each member of an organization creates. Leading for Impact introduces how an organization can transition to being a leader-rich environment by taking personal initiative to create an impact that makes a difference that matters.
Circle of Impact: Leadership for a World in Transition
Leadership has never been in greater demand or more difficult to provide. The days when the solution to a problem could be found within the problem are fading fast. Now, we need to look beyond the problem to see a new picture of our organizations. The Circle of Impact is a three-dimensional approach to leadership that recognizes that virtually all our challenges and opportunities live in the interaction between our Ideas, our Relationships and the social and organizational Structures of our businesses, families and communities. In this presentation, I bring a view of the transition that our world faces and how organizations can develop leadership within their people to create impact, resiliency and sustainability.
