Let's Elevate You to Empower Them (October 2025)

Elevate Your BEING. 

Happy October. Let’s continue on with my annual theme of Well-BEING, and this month, I want to talk about leadership. 

I have been spending a lot of time with groups of leaders lately, sharing my message, Lead the 90% - Kind Leadership. What’s surprising me is poor leadership still exists out there… what??. With all the options available to load our phones with podcasts, apps, TED Talks, and YouTube videos on how to become a better leader, I still see poor leadership existing.  This surprises me, because people will tell me they have read a hundred books on leadership; so, I ask them, Did it work? Are you happier? Are you an effective leader?

One of the many leaders I met lately did something that I wonder if most of us would be willing to do. He had 15 team members, and he sent a SurveyMonkey question to all of them, which included one simple question: “What do you think of me as your leader?" He received a ton of feedback. He was willing to look in the mirror and figure out what he needed to do to improve. Are we willing to do that?

What are we willing to learn and what are we willing to unlearn? So, for the month of October, I’m going to share tools from my leadership book on how to elevate us as leaders to become well-BEINGS in our leadership role.

Have a beautiful October.

Elevate you...

I have read other leadership books and feel your approach closely aligns with vulnerability, empathy and creating environments for people to be seen, heard and be comfortable. I am also seeing parallels to one of my favourite books, as it’s a sentiment where the leaders prioritize the health and well-being of their team, and in turn have ferociously loyal teams. - Jeff
