🎙️ S4:E9 (VIDEO) — Leadership & Success Podcast with Coach BZLIVE: Raising the Leadership Lid — A Navy Cyber Commander’s Perspective
📢 Are you leading at your maximum potential, or is your lid limiting your impact?
Join me LIVE as we unpack powerful leadership truths from John C. Maxwell’s 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership — specifically:
✅ The Law of the Lid: How well you lead determines how well you succeed✅ The Law of Influence: The true measure of leadership is influence — nothing more, nothing less
🔍 I’ll share lessons from the bridge of U.S. Navy command to cybersecurity boardrooms — including:• How your personal growth directly determines your team’s ceiling• Why influence trumps position in tech and military leadership• How to develop credibility, trust, and favor — with God and with people• What it means to grow like Christ did in wisdom, stature, spirit, and relationships (Luke 2:52)
🧠 Plus, we’ll reflect on the timeless wisdom of leaders like Thomas Aquinas and Nelson Mandela to inspire a new generation of leaders across sectors.
🛑 Don’t miss this opportunity to grow as a leader of character, clarity, and influence.
