DISC Workshop

What if you could tap into your greatest motivations, dramatically improve your relationships, and accelerate your results?

Your individual personality affects every aspect of your life. That’s why one of the best things you can do to grow yourself and others is to understand your personality and what naturally drives you. When you recognize your strengths and weaknesses, you can give your best as you work with people around you.

Get along with anyone, even if you're not a “people person."

Everyone you encounter is motivated differently, communicates differently, and views tasks and relationships differently. The Maxwell DISC Profile Workshop will help you achieve greater success when you learn to value your strengths as well as those of others.

Leadership Game

The John Maxwell Team Leadership Game is a comprehensive game based on the teachings of John C. Maxwell. The game helps organizations improve their leadership intelligence and increase their effectiveness. Why? “Because everything rises and falls on leadership,” says John.

The leadership principles carry consequences with them Apply the laws to your organization and increase your influence. Violate and ignore them, and your ability to lead others will suffer. But there’s news: every one of the laws can be learned. How? Play the game with 6-12 of your most influential leaders and find out.

The Leadership Game is a fun, yet challenging experience designed to help you and your team better understand core leadership principles and values.

Coaching

My coaching involves the ability to understand you: to think, how you think, and appreciate your perspective. From this benchmark, I will place another aspect on top of yours – stretching and growing you to see a more empowering way gently. As a certified John Maxwell coach, I can see what you are going through now and what is ahead. Coaching is foreseeing, paving the way, and coming alongside you while helping you achieve goals and overcome limiting paradigms. I offer two levels of coaching:

Individual Coaching

When working with you one-on-one, I aim to help you reach your purpose, vision, and goals by working through John Maxwell’s programs specific to your needs. Together, we will create a strategic, compelling plan for you to gain clarity through a weekly process, including interaction and accountability.

What are you doing to invest in yourself?
What are you doing to invest in others?

Group Coaching

When working in a group setting – although it’s not singular – having the entire group’s input in thinking magnifies the richness of the discussions and results in developing solutions above and beyond what any individual can create. The cohesive bond empowers each person to improve the leader within and shine in a safe environment that nurtures the group. It is an experience unlike any other and follows the same premise as an academic think tank.

7 Life Lessons From The Trailer Park

White Trash Wisdom For Everyone

Clyde shares down to earth, powerful, and transformational lessons from his own experiences while being raised in a trailer park next to Lake Griffin in Leesburg, Florida. There he learned we are not victims of circumstances; others' definitions of us do not define us; our potential for greatness and becoming the best individual we can is entirely in our control; and many other powerful truths.
