It’s time to step back from the difficult decisions, pivots, iterations, emergency meetings and Plan B’s. Let’s refuel. Let’s do a flyover – a 60-minute break to step back, breathe deep and focus on what we need to do next as leaders.

In Seven Strategies for Difficult Times, acclaimed Executive Coach & Business Advisor Scott Ballard walks leaders through a mindset transformation. Whether your business has flourished during this unprecedented time in our history, or you’ve had to completely retool your business to survive, you’ve been doing some heavy lifting. Your teams are watching you. As you plan for the remaining months of 2020, how do you want to show up? Scott will not only share his proven strategies, he’ll be available for live Q&A and address your pre-submitted questions as well. Let’s get at it!

On this episode, Scott and I went in a direction that started out with his story of getting ridiculed as a young child for being dyslexic. Made fun of and judged, Scott was suicidal at a young age.

His turning point involved a spiritual moment with Christ where everything turned around.

I asked him how we should view material wealth as Christian entrepreneurs and his answer was one of the best I've heard...

Discovering his passion for being an entrepreneur in 6th grade, Scott has experienced all the failures, fears and uncertainty of living out his life in the entrepreneurial world. Through his experience in his own business and life, he had the impact of finding a coach that guided his company from the brink of disaster to an amazing comeback, and from uncertainty, to the most amazing transformation that he could have hoped for. As a result of his lifetime of learning, he now gets to guide people through the process of achieving their goals and dreams for themselves and their business.
