The Motives for Leading with Bill

 

 At the Macro-level:

  • There is a Leadership Gap! Research shows that those in 1st line and middle management are among those who are experiencing the highest levels of stress - pressure from leaders above and managing teams below. Data from Gartner for HR and Simon Sinek's The Optimism Company both point to these challenges and considers this to be a crisis.
  • In addition, most companies approach to leadership development for this group of management is limited to LinkedIn Learning or left to individuals to find/complete development on their own time and money.

 

 At the Micro-level:

  • The data from the study also reveals that the top issue for managers is a lack of confidence.
  • You are made on purpose and for a purpose. There is tremendous untapped potential inside of you just waiting to be released.
  • I coach aspiring leaders and guide them to identify and discover their values, strengths, communication style, and a personal development roadmap to grow into and thrive in their full potential.

 

 

 

 

 About - Bill Martin

  • Follower of Jesus, husband, a girl-dad to 2, and Pops to the next gen
  • Love the following - 
    • Vacations! Planning and going on family vacas - check out the beach family pic taken by an unprofessional (and unpaid) photographer - it's beautiful!
    • The Beach! Soaking up the sun, playing in the waves, walking on the sand in the mornings, taking a nap with real wave-crashing sounds
    • Movies! Geeking out to all things Star Wars, The Matrix, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and more
    • Food! There's not much I don't like. I'm the one in the family always suggesting pizza...and sometimes, I get out-voted.
    • Bourbon! Occasionally, enjoy one on the rocks.
