Leading With Heart

How to be an Effective, Inspiring Leader:
Create a Positive, Productive Team Culture… 
and Lead Your Team to Greater Success.


If you’ve ever stressed and struggled as a leader because a person on your team hands in late, low-quality work…

…or a customer has a meltdown when something unexpected goes wrong… 

…or friction between team members causes frustration and awkwardness for the rest of the team…

…you’re not alone. 

You see, situations like these happen all the time in the workplace. And all too often, that’s because the leaders in charge never received the proper training to manage such challenges as they arise… or prevent them from occurring in the first place. So even if they have the best intentions, these leaders end up relying on faulty methods to get everyone back on track. 

For instance, in the case of feuding co-workers, many leaders would call them into the office, tell them they’re messing up, and give them a week to shape up… or else. Other leaders would avoid confrontation and hope the quarrelers work things out so they don’t have to step in and be “mean.”

Either way, nothing gets solved because the root problem goes unaddressed. And the ongoing strife eats away at morale, effectiveness, and productivity… making it harder and harder for people to feel like they’re succeeding. Talk about a situation ripe for stress and burn out for everyone involved.


I know this all too well… 

Maren Schmidt

When you start and own your own business, you put everything on the line; your money, your time, your reputation. 

Juggling the demands of running a small private school was difficult. There were many people to keep happy…my students, their parents, my staff and my family. There were days when I thought the pressure from all the parties involved was impossible, and that I needed the wisdom of Solomon.

Luckily, I was able to tap into the experience and understanding of my father and others to learn how to balance the day-to-day demands of running a heart-centered business. 

What made the difference for me was understanding that true leadership goes far beyond just telling folks what to do and monitoring their progress. 

It’s really all about being able to recognize, understand, and manage your emotions – and the emotions of others

Because when you know how to do that, you can create a more positive, engaged, and supportive environment for everyone on your team. Team members are able to perform at their best. And YOU grow professionally too… into the effective, inspiring leader you envision.

So the question becomes… how do you do that? 

How do you go from just trying to put fires out and pushing others along to do their jobs… to the kind of leader who moves their team to greatness?

Introducing…

Can You Afford To Wait?

Imagine creating a positive, productive work environment for your team – one where people feel excited and motivated to make big things happen…

Imagine being as effective as possible as a leader, to keep stress and burnout at bay, and inspire your team to greater and greater success.

Because it helps you feel confident and in control as you navigate the obstacles, complexities, and frustrations that are common to any leadership position.
