    • Leading through the economic tsunami without drowning: Become a distinct leadership brand or extinct generic

      Article Cited: NorthDallasGazette.com
      Sep 3, 2013

      By accentuating their natural skills and strengths, leaders can stand out and put themselves on the fast track for senior-level leadership roles that will enable them to achieve all of their hopes, goals, and dreams.

      The alternative is to become a “generic” leader, a basic manager who does not stand out in any way. In today’s fast-paced and ultracompetitive economy, generic leaders are rapidly on their way to becoming extinct — “average” is the new unemployed and good is the new average. By following the principles of Fresh PASSION, a methodology I created of developing a personal brand that leads to exponential personal, professional, and economic success, you can learn how to become great, and therefore put yourself in a position to obtain a senior leadership position that will deliver maximum personal, professional, and economic success.

    • Ending unemployment and underemployment

      Article Cited: NorthDallasGazette.com
      May 1, 2013

      We have all been weathering an “economic tsunami” for the past several years, and although it appears the worst part of the storm is behind us, the seas have hardly calmed. The unemployment rate hovers around 8 percent for unemployment and around 18 percent for underemployed. Companies and organizations are still in pain (they want to deliver exponential growth to the top and bottom line) but they are only willing to invest in a fresh and proven branded product (YOU) with a track record of delivering results- if you are not in this category you will not be the sought after solution provider.

    • Branding the Pope

      Article Cited: Forbes.com
      March 18, 2013

      I’m writing this just after the conclave of cardinals announced the successor to Pope Benedict XVI, who last month became the first modern-day pontiff to abdicate the throne. They charted some new ground, choosing 76-year-old Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the first non-European to fill the role in more than 1,200 years and the first ever from the Jesuit order. But in other ways, it was a vote to preserve the status quo, as Bergoglio, who has chosen to be called Francis, is a theological conservative.

      "Make the customer number one." Customer service experts have been chanting variations of this mantra since one caveman paid another caveman three clamshells for the skin of a sabertooth tiger. Okay, as far as we know cavemen didn’t chant mantras, but you get my point. The vast majority of customer service strategies use the idea of making your customer your top priority as their cornerstone.

    • A valuable book for this economy!

      December 9, 2012

      Wow, finally an easy to follow process on how to become a successful personal brand. I truly believe that in order to be successful in this competitive economy you have to be a brand-been generic is a recipe to going nowhere and having a lackluster career.

      I preached this to my team of twelve leaders for the last three years. The universal question/comment they would always have is "How do I go from be a generic to a brand- you make it seem so simple?" I would attempt to explain my process-but I felt there was something missing.
