“Throw away your title…Presence over Position is what Matters” with David Irvine

“Throw away your title…Presence over Position is what Matters” with David Irvine

This week we are joined by David Irvine from Alberta, Canada. David is a Family Therapist, Entrepreneur, Author and Leadership Advisor Coach for over 35 years.

David Shares his BIG IDEA, which is that CEOs and entrepreneurs should throw away their titles if they want to be a leader. His premise roots from the basic idea, you do not get promoted to be a leader. You get promoted to being a boss. Leadership is something very different. You have to earn the right to be a leader, and it does not come from your position.

David shares his purpose to connect leaders and difference makers in the world with their authentic self to amplify their impact on the world. His passion has been around connecting leaders with their hearts and bringing that entire message through their healing.

Building a “Best Company to Work For” with Andy Warren

Building a “Best Company to Work For” with Andy Warren

This week, we are joined by Andy Warren, former President of Maracay Homes in Phoenix, Arizona,

Andy shares his journey of building the number one company to work for in the state of Arizona, and the three key elements he calls the “three-legged stool strategy” for building a winning culture. First, start with the right people; Next, equip those people with the resources they need to be successful; and last of all, hold those people accountable for results. Clear, simple strategy? Yes, but, very difficult to execute in a high growth industry through changing economic conditions!

“If you want to get something done in your organization, it’s just the sum total of all the people.”

Andy is co-author of the recently published Gravitas Impact Monograph “The 7 Attributes of Agile Growth®”, available now on Amazon.

This week, we are joined by Nancy MacKay, CEO of MacKay CEO Forums, a high impact and low time-intensive peer group for over 1200 CEOs, Executives, and business owners worldwide. 

Nancy shares how she helps CEOS, executives, and business owners solve their toughest problems and maximize their best opportunities through peer learning and support. She is an author of several publications. Nancy shares her BIG IDEA she refers to as the “MacKay mastery model” for inspired leadership. She learned through covid that CEOs need a roadmap to inspire themselves every day. This roadmap is applicable well beyond COVID, in an ongoing manner for high performing leaders. For her, it was heartbreaking to see what was happening to CEOs, so during quarantine, she decided to write this strategy guide so that business leaders would have a roadmap and the idea of surrounding themselves with game-changers. The self-guide is available on her website https://mackayceoforums.com/

Nancy’s personal vision for MacKay CEO forums is to populate the world with inspiring leaders. Nancy shares her and her husband Rob’s journey of founding MacKay CEO forums in 2005, and some insights on the journey to success, which included some bumps, bruises and celebrations!

Nancy wants the listeners to know, do not suffer in silence. She has encountered all too many leaders who felt they could not find a path into the future, and in doing so, created their own prisons of misery. There are plenty of people out there that can help you clarify your purpose, what your passion is, what it is that will give you pure joy to jump out of bed every day.

Creating an A-Player Culture to Win the War on Talent with Jerry Fons

Creating an A-Player Culture to Win the War on Talent with Jerry Fons

This week, we are joined by 7 Attributes Certified Coach, Jerry Fons, CEO of Executive Power Coaching and author of Gravitas Impact Monograph Building an A Player Culture. Jerry joins us from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to talk about how he helps CEOS get results and live their Purpose through business leadership.

With over 20 years of experience as a coach to CEO and C-Suite individuals within an organization, Jerry shares his BIG IDEA that CEOs live in a world of frustration daily, not understanding how to deal with the drama that happens inside their organization. In our most recent “Voice of the CEO” survey, the feelings of frustration, stress and being overwhelmed, were all too common in top leaders in growth companies. The root of these often stem from underperforming teams. In our podcast, Jerry addresses these issues head on, while sharing real world stories of success, hope and change.

In Part 2, Jerry recaps The Big Idea of the virtue of being a leader, you have to deal with people. The care, development and coaching of the people that surround a CEO, is vital for a high-performance culture that delivers results. Jerry’s Monograph is about understanding  tools and processes that will help create an organization that reduces the amount of drama and raises the level of what we call

A-Players in your organization. A-Players are those that are highly connecting to the core values of the company as well as highly productive, results driven individuals.

When Jerry entered the coaching business 20 years ago, he began the process of identifying his personal purpose with his coach.  Discovering his purpose did not happen overnight, but once he discovered it, he found that it still fits today
