My version - No deep voice needed: I'm a manager and have been for a while. I've dealt with all of the common situations like office politics, not finding anyone to hire, unreasonable customers, team members not reaching their potential, holiday in retail, and hundreds of others. So I think one of the reasons that my blog and social media have been so popular is that I try not to put anything out there that I don't believe will work in the real world. Straight talk, practical and actionable advice, that's what I strive for. Hope the movie trailer voice guy isn't mad I left my version in.

THE BOOKS - (IT BEGAN WITH POST-IT NOTES)

It all started when I noticed that I kept making the same management and leadership mistakes over and over again. Basic things all leaders deal with like properly communicating, project management issues, and staff development. Simple things I kept repeatedly doing wrong. I started out by keeping Post-it note reminders. Then it moved to noticing and learning from the mistakes of peers and superiors. When I started running out of space for Post-it notes on my monitor it led to a blog, social media, and finally several books. It's amazing to think what those Post-it notes became.

SPEAKING AND TRAINING - (A THESPIAN GETS HIS CHANCE)

After I wrote a couple of books, I was lucky enough to get invited to speak at a variety of organizations. Face to face communication is always the most impactful and I enjoy being able to interact and help new leaders grow. I like to think I bring a very "Down to Earth" yet insightful approach to the stage. The key for me is to feel like I've prepared the audience to handle their next day in the office better and to build from there.
