Are You A Trainer?

  The other day a text from an old friend led to a phone call with an unexpected question: “We know you are usually booked to be The Speaker for events, but we are in need of you teaching our C-Level Executives how to – how can I put this – how to not look stupid on stage.  Do you train successful business leaders how to speak?” It was a surprising call, because for years I’m the one being thrust into the spotlight (which I prefer – hahahah), and even more interesting is this was the 3rd company in the same week to ask the same question of my training abilities! “Why sure, I can do that,” I answered, “When do you need these leaders to be ready?”  “Next week!” was the response. Imagine you’re in my position – You’ve spent nearly the past 20 years crafting, creating, marketing, perfecting, getting coaching, and promoting yourself to be great and so you can get on a stage, and now suddenly everyone wants you to teach them how to do your job… in a week. Nice. The Promise in that instance was I must speak the truth: Sure, I can help with

Legendary Leadership: Who is The Heart of Your Team?

  The Superbowl was a few weeks ago. Certainly not a nail-biter and with a fairly predictable outcome. What I love most about the spectacle that is this event are the stories which come forth that warm the heart and inspire greater commitment to team, turning co-workers into family members we care for and recognize. What I love about it is the question arises: Who is the heart of your team? or as I like to call it, who is The Heart and Promise Keeper of your Work Family? Maybe you saw the story about David Saville, college football’s Clemson University highlighted their team manager not just for his unbelievable dedication and spirit, but for his promise to give his all every day to the team he loves. David’s reaction to being recognized with tickets to the Superbowl for awesome work is beautiful and it is how everyone reacts inside when a Leader engages those they lead, pointing out that co-workers are appreciated and doing well. The Promise of Legendary Leadership is to give others every opportunity to shine by teaching them how to utilize their Signature Moves – and then congratulate them for keeping The Promise. That is Identify,

The Choice Between

  2 Mondays ago we welcomed the newest member to our family, a beautiful, excited, chew everything, diarrhea everywhere, happy Goldendoodle 8-week old pup. His name is Buster Silvermine Bojangles Dude Hewlett. We love him. As we got all set up, after a trip to the store to buy a kennel, bed, and chew toys, the time quickly passed from PM to AM as the kids were still up playing after midnight with our new little friend. Suddenly I heard an explosion. No one else heard it, as they were making noise with the dog, but as the Dad I seem to hear everything. Running outside there it was: A white car smashed into the neighbor’s Ford Explorer that is always parked in front of their home. No tire marks, no brake engaged, simple a smashed little white car into a vehicle twice it’s size, and it had pushed it over 10 feet forward.  I bet it was going over 40 on a 25 mph street. A man came tumbling out of the driver’s side, wincing, choking, swearing up a storm in agony. I shouted, “Dude, are you ok?” He ran. Down the street, up on the sidewalk, gimp-limping away

The Promise: Raising Legendary Leaders

  The other day a man took my order at a restaurant. When I began to speak his eyes widened and he said, excitedly, “You’re Jason Hewlett!  You came to my school when I was in 3rd grade.  That was the best assembly of my life!”  Looking at his full grown beard, head balding, and the twinkle in his eye, it hit me once again how long I’ve been doing this whole being on stage thing. It is life’s great compliment when someone remembers you fondly from their childhood as having made a difference in their lives, and equally makes you realize how old you’ve become, and you do your best not to feel or act elderly despite the gray in your beard. What is The Promise that you have made for your life’s work? This week I am extra pensive and sober, as we bury a neighbor & friend, a young Mother my age, who just passed from ALS.  A few days later, we lay to rest the Mother of one of my wife’s best friends, who passed suddenly of a heart attack in the prime of being a Grandma. Once again: What is The Promise that you have
