Reunion Marketing invited NextGen Center founder Brian Alvo to speak on their podcast, KPI Cafe.

Whenever I do a workshop about goals, people often ask, “How can I hold myself accountable? How do I stick to my goals?”

The research is pretty clear around this as well — it takes a good amount of energy and effort to stay positive and give praise.

Over the course of this discussion, Brian Alvo and Karne Weeks explored opportunities that leaders have to create conversations around career development, as well as why that matters and how to do it.

In the first round, my opponent was a young, skinny kid who had a big serve. He was well-known at the time, but not nearly as famous as he would become. His name was Andy Roddick.

Dr. Sackeena Gordon-Jones presented a fascinating discussion on the 5th level of leadership in our recent Community Module. More than 20 professionals joined us and all the proceeds were donated to Activate Good.

When one NextGen joins another…. Brian was the featured guest of NextGen HQ for a webinar to talk about connecting over technology.

In her presentation, General LeBoeuf took the audience through memories from her own life in which she knew something pivotal had happened or a transformative lesson had been learned.

It’s not surprising that we each like our own way. It's comfortable for us. It's how we prefer to do things. And because it's comfortable and has “worked” for us, we develop this mindset that our way is most effective overall.

Coaching is problem-solving. Strategic thinking. Taking action. Making change. When we approach it from the people side in addition to the challenge side we can turn what might seem like an ordinary situation into possibilities and potential.

This year, everybody in the world has come face-to-face with the reality that leadership is about behavior and about change. And we saw it across all parts of our daily lives — personally and professionally.

People obstacles came in all shapes and sizes: opposing counsel, judges, juries, boards of directors, CEOs. It was an endless parade. Everyone had an opinion. Couldn’t they just get out of my way? I can fix this.
