Leadership Skill Center Blog

Recently some people have had difficulty logging in to their Leadership Skill Center members account because of some problems with the system managing the Online Courses delivery.

To overcome these problems we have completely rebuilt the members area and I hope you will find it works much more smoothly than the previous one.

You will find the new Online Courses area at http://leadershipskillcenter.com/lessons

A number of different courses and other resources are already available there, all of which are free. We will be adding more courses soon.

To access these courses all you need to do is create a new (free) login account and you will be emailed your access details immediately.

Please create your new account as soon as possible, as the old courses area will shortly be removed. Your free courses, eBooks and resources will be available to you as soon as you login.

Looking forward to seeing you in the new Online Courses area soon.

Well, here it is! One of the top three products requested by the hundreds of people who did my recent quick survey:

“Powerful Ways to Sharpen Your Memory - A Guide for Leaders and Managers”

I have to say this is an area that I personally struggle with, so I was quite pleased that your survey encouraged me to investigate this important leadership skill. And I’m sure you’ll be delighted with the results.

If you are at all like me, life just seems to get busier and busier. There are so many things to be done and even more that need to be remembered.

It’s so easy to forget the little things you meant to do, the name of that new customer you met last week, all those appointments and phone numbers, who agreed to do what after last month’s meeting and all the other things that help us to manage effortlessly.

No matter how good a leader or manager you are, when you forget the face of that client you’ve been calling for weeks or the place you were meant to be meeting your key supplier, it’s not just embarrassing, it could be career limiting!

Yet some people seem to be able to remember such things easily.

Was there a secret? I decided to find out. Because if there was, I wanted to know it!

Well the answer is Yes!

You can improve your memory and it isn’t that hard.

Imagine if you could easily remember all those key details that currently slip your mind. What if you were known for never forgetting a face? or a birthday? or a place?

There are even a few simple tools and techniques that you can learn in minutes and start applying immediately that will improve your memory.

If you have ever heard me speak about the Magic of Leadership you will know that I believe one of the ways leaders inspire others to follow them is by creating new meaning.

In his free eBook* on The Art of the Start, Guy Kawasaki describes what he calls the GIST (Great Ideas for Starting Things) of what an entrepreneur (or leader) needs to do when starting a new venture.

His first Great Idea for Starting Things is to Make Meaning and he offers some interesting insight into what that might mean.

“Meaning”, he says “is not about money, power or prestige. It’s not even about creating a fun place to work. Among the meanings of ‘meaning’ are to:

• Make the world a better place.
• Increase the quallity of life.
• Right a terrible wrong.
• Prevent the end of something good.”

Great advice for leaders who ever need to gather support, or who just want to be sure it’s the GOOD people who want to work with them.

This is a special offer that’s too good to pass up if you have your own website.
At the moment a slightly cut down version of the software that I use to put audio files on my website, Sonic Memo Lite, is being given away free. The catch? You have to agree to join a mailing list (but you can always unsubscribe) and you will be offered a one-time opportunity to upgrade to the Pro version (which is what I use - but you don’t have to accept the offer).

My suggestion is, if you do your own website, grab it while you can. You may even decide to buy the full version, which is what I use. Unlike other web audio systems that you have to pay for every month, this is good value at full price as it’s a pay once and use for ever deal anyway. If you want it for free click here.

May we send you a free copy of our Top Leadership Tips Workbook, plus a bonus free report on Setting Goals and copies of Leading Well by email as they are available. We will also keep you up-to-date as new courses become available through the Leadership Skill Center Course Area.
