Who do you want to be – and why aren’t you that person yet? In this first module, you’ll define what is missing in the ‘You’ of today versus the ‘You’ whom you aspire to be. You’ll learn how to do the work of discovery that can help you, and your team, chart a course to growth and success.

This session introduces decision-making techniques that help you form a realistic perspective of the problems and blessings experienced in an imperfect world. You will learn how the blessing of “free will” places you and your team members “in control” of thoughts, and actions when dealing with members, and with each other. You will discover how to approach the major challenges and daily problems of life – at the club and at home, more peacefully and more productively.

You’ll learn why finding excitement and engagement in your ‘life’s work’ demands that you look within, and outside or yourself. Your personal ‘life’s work’ includes the work you do at the club, as well as the work you create from your life. This session focuses on helping you discover and define your true strengths that when leveraged will help you – and those you lead, to Get Excited! You’ll be guided on how to identify the ‘sparks’ that excite you. You’ll learn how you can help those you lead to do the same, and together become more engaged around the member experience.

This module will help you discover how to do the things you love - every day. You will learn how to establish your true mission and purpose and discover how to connect this with your current responsibilities. Great work, from you and your team, comes consistently when fulfillment is one of the outcomes. Learning first, what each person enjoys most is one of the first steps towards great leadership. Identifying opportunities to work in alignment with your mission and purpose is an important ingredient in the recipe of becoming your Best Self Possible.

Success means different things to different people and, the definition can change over time for everyone. In this module you will be challenged to define what success means to you starting tomorrow. We will explore why your club’s goals should be an important piece of your success puzzle – but, not the only piece. You will learn why living more intentionally helps you achieve your own success, as you define it – and frees you to encourage your team members and those around you to strive for what they have determined as their definition of success.

Each of us has a unique Individual Genius. Sometimes called a ‘Unique Value Proposition’ (UVP), it is something you do very well – maybe better than most. Your Individual Genius has the potential to help solve problems, impact places, and change people. In this module you will define your individual genius and explore how you can help make your corner of the world – and your club, better and different tomorrow, than it is today.

Equal parts of Passion, Vision, Understanding and Courage are required to drive change. This module will test your courage as you decided where, and why you want to drive change.

In this module you will learn how to incorporate a set of daily disciplines that will ‘fire you up’, through the practice of Gratitude. You will learn how to look for and use gratitude in your job, and in your life. First for yourself, and then for your team – you will learn how to incorporate the ‘soft skill’ of gratitude into the attitude necessary to deliver an exceptional Member Experience and appreciate amazing Life Experiences.

In this module, we move to the Assembly Line! Excellence is the objective – in all things, professional and personal. We may not always achieve the target, but this should never be due to a lack of preparation.

Having defined our mission and purpose we need to equip ourselves with the tools to successfully live into that purpose. In this session, you will begin to assemble a toolbox of practices, disciplines and resources that will help you care for your legitimate needs. You will learn how you can help those you lead to imitate this practice, so they can remain alongside you, over time, in your professional or personal journey.

Excellence requires the application of effort and focus – consistently. Your toolbox for Self-Care can help.

It’s not just ‘What’ you do – at your club, or in your life. ‘How’ you do something– is often more important. Staying focused, leading the industry with new ideas, services, and programs are all important, and the ‘How’ can be ‘Hard’ to do sometimes. This module is not about laughter, (well, maybe a little) as much as it is about lightening your load.

Because your thoughts become your actions you will learn how with practice, and purpose you can begin to have mastery over your thoughts, and your actions. You’ll learn how to convey this critical life skill to others and help your team members become stronger, and more resilient.

Clear the decks! In our final session you will learn how to cut the clutter in your life. If you’ve done the work of the earlier modules, you have already begun to profoundly impact the lives of those around you. It’s time to lay the foundation – the cornerstone - of a legacy you can leave to your family members, club members, team members, and community. It’s time to determine how you can bless others with and through, your own success.

You will learn why the best way to reinforce your own learning is by teaching others. You will learn how you can further enhance your own life, and even appear as a hero to others, by pausing and demonstrating your willingness always - to Return to Help Others.
