Leadership Essentials Courses

Inspire Others to Greater Heights, Achieve Better Results, And Have A Bigger Impact… 

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know how to step up and lead?

Most people think leadership is something you’re either born with… or you’re not. 

They think that great leaders in history – people like Martin Luther King Jr., Eleanor Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Oprah, and other famous leaders – were born with great leadership skills.

The fact of the matter is, every great leader in history had to learn how to become a great leader. 

And that’s good news for the rest of us because it means that anyone can learn to become a leader.

Leadership is a skill you can learn – just like baking, golfing, or playing the guitar. 

That’s why if you want to have a bigger impact on the world… if you want to achieve your goals and dreams faster than ever before… and if you want to inspire others to help you make it happen…

Leaders Innovate

The Time To Learn Leadership Is Now

The longer you hold off on becoming a great leader, the longer you put off your goals and dreams.

Leadership is a must – especially in today’s world. 

  • If you’re an employee, becoming a leader puts you front and center for a big promotion.
  • If you’re a business owner, becoming a leader helps you ramp up your revenue and profit because your team is hitting its goals and working effectively together.
  • And if you’re an expert, coach, consultant, or other kind of solopreneur, becoming a leader helps you land better paying clients, allows you to deliver greater results, and puts you in the driver’s seat. 

Now, maybe you’re thinking, “I don’t need to learn to become a great leader. I can achieve what I want on my own.”

I can tell you from my own experience… going “solo” is definitely not the way to go.

My Story

Maren Schmidt

As I transitioned into the working world from college, I quickly discovered that my leadership roles weren’t just handed to me as they had been in college organizations.

Another discovery, and this all took some time, was that I lacked the confidence to step up and choose to be a leader. I was caught in the trap of thinking I had to be asked to take on a project. When I saw situations where leadership was needed, I tended to back away, thinking that other people were more experienced, better equipped, had better skills or whatever!

One of my father’s friends suggested that I enroll in a Dale Carnegie Leadership course to help me learn some skills. He didn’t say this, but now I know this to be true: Learning skills builds confidence, and skills is what I needed to learn.

In a matter of a few months as I practiced my new skills, my confidence did grow.

As a personnel manager I interviewed potential hires for my company. We were experiencing a shortage of proficient word processing typists, so I asked my manager if I could teach a Saturday class on how to use a word processor. In a matter of a few weeks we had the typists that we needed.

The added bonus was that these typists were inspired to continue learning more about word processing and over the course of a few years moved up in our organization based on their habit of being curious and taking on challenges.

A few Saturdays of training helped others see me as a leader, but more importantly, it helped me feel confident taking those first steps.

Today I know those classes in leadership made a difference for all my life.

That’s why I’m such a big believer in learning leadership skills as soon as possible.

There’s just no good reason to put it off. Becoming a leader improves virtually every area of your life – not just in your work or career. 

  • When you become a better leader, you become a better parent. 
  • When you become a better leader, you become a better spouse or friend. 
  • When you become a better leader, you tune into every situation you’re in and see how you can truly support others and inspire them to be their best. The result is that those around you look up to you and respect you a lot more. 

And not only that…

Becoming a better leader gives you a feeling of confidence in yourself… you trust yourself more… and you know you can handle anything life throws your way. 

That’s why I know that learning leadership skills can truly change your life. 

And it’s why I’m so excited to tell you about something special I’ve put together to help you master the key leadership skills in record time.
