337. How To Do Hard Things: 4 Strategies to Implement TODAY

If you’re like most people, there’s probably a key area of leadership that you’ve been struggling with – or even worse, not struggling with, because you’ve decided to avoid it, and convinced yourself of all the reasons you didn’t need to do it in the first place!

Success in anything relies on your ability to develop the habits and disciplines that enable you to perform at your best. And, often, the most difficult step is the very first. Breaking through the inertia, and pushing yourself to do something difficult can be pretty daunting.

In this episode, I show you how to take the first step so that you can increase your comfort and confidence in doing the hard things that make a difference – to you and your people.

I take four of the most common weaknesses that I’ve seen holding leaders back, and give you a practical formula for taking that first vital step in each area:

1. Speaking up in meetings;
2. Making tough decisions;
3. Having difficult conversations; and
4. Loosening the control you exert over your people’s work.

It's hard to do hard things, but all you need to do, is take the first step!

Most leaders are doing their 1:1s wrong.

If your one-on-ones feel like pointless status updates (or worse, you’re skipping them entirely), you’re missing out on the #1 leadership tool that drives performance, accountability, and growth.

In Thursday’s FREE LIVE Masterclass, I’m breaking down exactly how to turn your 1:1s into a performance accelerator, so you can develop your team, eliminate surprises, and lead with confidence.

Here’s what you’ll get:

✅ The #1 mindset shift that will change how you run 1:1s forever

✅ The 20-60-20 Rule, a foolproof structure for high-impact meetings

✅ How to handle tough conversations like a pro, raises, disengagement, underperformance & more

✅ The non-negotiables that make 1:1s your biggest leadership advantage

💡 PLUS: I’ll share the exact 1:1 templates I used as the CEO of a multi-billion dollar business so you can implement them immediately.

If you’re serious about being a top-tier leader, this is a non-negotiable.
