“ The secret of joy in work is contained in one word – excellence.” ~ Pearl Buck. Client Maria Asks: I’ve been with my company for six years now, and I’ve gone as far as I can go. It’s time to move to a bigger playing field. How can I really set myself apart from the crowd? I know I’m good at what I do, but how do I convey that without overselling myself or looking like an egomaniac?

Leadership development is not just for grown-ups. If you’ve been with me for a while you know how passionate I am about this. Most of us take a deliberate approach to developing other skills in our kids early on: we teach them to swim, to ride a bike, to read, and read music, as early as we can. Leadership development should be no different. The earlier we can ingrain these skills, the more natural they will feel.

When I was in my sales and customer service executive roles, whenever I needed a pick-me-up, I would go talk to the new hire classes. They’re fired up, full of ambition, and ready to serve. “Raise your hand if you’re looking to be promoted into management” Every hand in the room goes up. Sadly, in many companies something happens along the way.

I’ll never forget attending a leadership development program at a fancy hotel in the early 1990s. The main topic was diversity.
