Sales and Service Specialist

Passionate Customer Advocate Focused on Driving Customer-Centric Solutions

I have over 15 years of driving customer-centric solutions. From Banking to Customer Success I've carried this core value with me.

I've learned a lot over the last decade and a half, but something that's stuck with me is that we need to ask more questions. In my experience, when I hear a client tell me what they want, there's usually more to the story. By asking powerful questions I've been able to understand who, what, where and why in all these scenarios. It's not that I don't trust my customers, but I like to go the extra mile to truly understand what's led them to this solution.

Helping people is another core value - as an extravert it comes easily to me. Whether I'm training, presenting, coaching, or listening my objective is to help provide value. It's important that my customers know I am their catalytic resource to help them reach set out goals.

AdVance Leadership

AdVance Leadership helps high capacity influencers live and lead with greater purpose, productivity, and peace. 

We work with leaders, teams, and organizations to understand the effects of busyness on their lives and systematically drive it out so that they can accomplish their highest priorities.

We guide people to discover their life purpose and arrange their lives so that they carry out their purpose every day.

We help teams discover the unique characteristics and strengths of each individual and work out of their greatest contributions. 

We guide organizations to discover their highest priorities and to create the habits necessary to intentionally and systematically make progress on those priorities every single day.

Founder & CEO

Names by 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘣𝘦𝘴 as one "of the seven books everyone on your team should read."

Everyone is busy. And it’s killing us all.

Hurry is the new normal. When someone asks us how we’re doing, we tell them that we’re “good… but busy.” We want to achieve our dreams and live a significant life, so we cram our calendars with nonstop activities.

Instead of feeling fulfilled, we’re distracted, exhausted, and overwhelmed. We have too much to do and not enough time.

But it doesn’t have to be this way!

Garland Vance knows how you feel. In Gettin’ (un)Busy, he shares how he nearly burned out while leading a nonprofit, having a family, and working on his doctorate in leadership and spiritual formation. He discovered a powerful, proven, and research-driven system that will help you shed stress, accomplish your dreams, and love life. You will learn:

•	the inhibiting beliefs that keep you trapped in busyness 
•	why time management isn’t the solution
•	how to attain your biggest goals 
•	the unwanted commitments that keep you from your priorities 
•	how to take control of your life so that you don’t burn out
•	and much more….

If you’re ready to do less, get more done, and enjoy life, it’s time to get (un)busy!

Here are the topics I speak on:
- Unleash Your Leadership - The 7 Traits that Solve 95% of Your Leadership Challenges
- The 4 Drivers of Retention and Engagement: Clarity, Community, Culture, and Leadership Development

Keynote Speaker

Are you drowning because you have too much to do and not enough time? Do you feel like your burning out?

The problem is busyness -- an overcommitment to too many good commitments. Almost everyone talks about how busy we are. And, to be honest, it makes us feel significant.

But busyness stops you from accomplishing your biggest dreams. You stay so overwhelmed that you can't make progress on your highest priorities.

It took me years to get (un)busy, but you can do it in 30 days...and it only takes a few minutes each day.

Today, I start writing my next book.

I published my first book, Gettin' (un)Busy, in 2019. I stopped writing because, frankly, writing is hard and tedious. I figured I’d take a break for a few months. That break lasted several years. I wrote my newsletter, but it took me 5 years to go back to writing books.

This time is different. We published Unleashed Leadership 2 weeks ago. Today, we start writing Unleashed Character. Can’t wait to share this with you next year.

I help middle-to-senior managers get unleashed from the seven issues that cause every leadership challenge. | CEO, Top 20 Leadership Development Company | Collector of Cool Hats

Toxic cultures have 1 thing in common:

They dehumanize people:
-they see people as objects rather than as humans.
-they consistently use shame and blame as "motivation."
-they leverage positional power to threaten people and instill fear.

No one deserves to work in a toxic culture.

If you don’t intentionally create a great culture...
you're unintentionally shaping a bad one.

Every leader infects their team

because your energy is contagious.
If you feel excited, 

your team will, too.

Feeling hopeful? 
Inspired? 
Optimistic? 

Your team will catch those emotions and emulate them.

But if you're sad, 
angry, 
frustrated... 

you will contaminate your team’s emotions.

There are two criteria that influence your leadership energy:
- Your Perspective: what you believe to be true about a situation.
- Your energy: the amount of fuel you have in your “tank.”

I carry myself like a pretty confident guy.

But I'll be honest.

Moments like this still amaze me. 

Amani Halim sent me this photo earlier this week. 

She’d just ordered 40 copies of Unleashed Leadership—one for every Service Manager and Branch Manager on her Orkin team.

For over 25 years, my dream has been to help uncover and fix the issues that hold them and their company back. 

Thanks, Amani, for helping me fulfill my dream. More importantly, thank you for being a leader who seeks to grow for the good of your team and wants them to grow for the good of those they lead. 

You remind me why this work matters.❤️

I am a Thanksgiving curmudgeon.

There. I said it. It’s less than 1 week til Thanksgiving, and I have always dreaded that day.

Not because of the meal or the family time. I love those things.

I dreaded Thanksgiving because of the *cleanup.*

Our kitchen always looked like a food tornado hit it. Pots bubbling on every burner. Bowls stacked up like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Every kitchen tool dirty. And by the time the Dallas Cowboys took the field, I was already in a foul mood.

A few years ago, Dorothy and I finally had enough.

We asked, “How do we make Thanksgiving more enjoyable?”

The answer surprised us.

We delegated it.

We found a restaurant that would prepare the entire meal. Turkey. Dressing. Green beans. Sweet potatoes. Even the pecan pie. We kept two dishes we actually enjoy making, and we handed off the rest.

It was the best Thanksgiving we ever had.

And it taught me something important about leadership:

There are moments when the smartest move is to get something off your plate.

In today’s newsletter, we share three signs it’s time to delegate (and a simple process to help you delegate more quickly. 

https://lnkd.in/eTEHsgjr

“I can’t hang wallpaper with my spouse without wanting a divorce.”
That’s what I hear from most people when I tell them that I own a business and work with my wife, Dorothy.

Most people can’t imagine working with the person they’re married to.
But we’ve never known any different.

We fell in love while taking a writing class together and critiquing each others’ works.

We worked together when I served as a youth pastor.

When she got hired by Chick-fil-A to lead one of their nonprofits, I helped her.

Then I took over her job when we started having kids, and she helped me turn it into a world-class leadership development program.

We’ve been business partners since 2017, when we started AdVance Leadership. 

We just published Unleashed Leadership together (it already has 146 5-star reviews).

Yesterday and today, we’re in the studio recording the audiobook of Unleashed Leadership. We’re adding bonus material and including some spontaneous conversations.

The truth is: if Dorothy and I tried to hang wallpaper, we’d want a divorce, too. That’s just not our jam. But I love working with her.

I worked with a client recently whose department was struggling. 

Missed deadlines. 
Miscommunication. 

The manager blamed his team.
The team blamed the boss...and each other. 

After a few conversations with the manager, he decided to look in the mirror.

Instead of pointing fingers, 
he asked,  
“What am I doing that's causing these problems?"

He apologized to his team.
Asked them how he could improve.
Implemented some of their suggestions. 

Within a week, every member of the team 
took responsibility for how they contributed to the problems.

Even better, each person identified 
specific ways they would help the team. 

At AdVance Leadership, we call this 125% Responsibility. 
Leaders take responsibility for everything in their scope of control
AND
for the results of their team. 

If your team is struggling, look in the mirror.

Three signs of a toxic culture: Shame. Blame. Fear.

These are common phrases you’ll hear in a toxic environment:

- What's wrong with YOU? (shame)
- You screwed up again (blame)
- Get this right. Or else... (fear)
- You're an idiot. (shame)
- It's not my fault. ________ did it. (blame)
- Don't make me fire you (fear)

Dear Leader,

You don’t need better employees.

They need a better leader.

Three ways to become the leader your team (and company) wants:

1. Build a leadership community.
You weren’t meant to do this alone. Find mentors. Develop other leaders. 

Surround yourself with people who challenge and support you.

2. Set the right culture.
Your team’s behavior is a reflection of what you tolerate. 
If you tolerate low standards, you’ll get them. 

Define the culture you want—and re-enforce it.

3. Be relentlessly consistent.
Your words and actions should align every single day. 
If you constantly shift expectations, your team will stop listening. 

Consistency builds credibility.

Become the leader your team wants to follow.

Every leader, at some point in your journey, will become leashed.

That’s the message Dorothy and I shared with AGC Knoxville yesterday.

You become unleashed when a disparity exists between your current responsibilities and your abilities.

It happens to every leader. 

The goal is to figure out what issue is causing the leash and then get unleashed ASAP.

Here’s the great news. There are only 7 issues that leash leaders:

1. Character
2. Competence
3. Capacity
4. Clarity
5. Community
6. Culture
7. Consistency

25 years of leadership research has taught me that these 7 issues cause 95% of company problems. 

Special thanks to John Ewart for inviting Dorothy and I to speak with AGC.

If I only have 30 minutes to help a leader get unstuck, here’s exactly what I do.

Imagine I’m sitting in an airport with 30 minutes before boarding.

A man named Joe sits next to me and strikes up a conversation. I tell him that I help leaders get and stay unleashed.

He tells me he’s a Plant Manager who feels stuck—his boss keeps shifting priorities, his inbox overflows, and every day feels like firefighting.

He asks me to help him.

I look at the clock. Thirty minutes. Here’s the process I walk him through.

1. Name your presenting problems. (5 minutes)
I ask Joe to describe what’s keeping him up at night.
He starts listing them off:
- An unsupportive boss
- Disengaged team members
- Lagging throughput
- Declining profitability

The list grows quickly. I tell him these are symptoms, not sources. They point to deeper leadership issues—but they aren’t the root causes.

2. Uncover the underlying leadership issues. (18 minutes)
I tell Joe there’s one piece of bad news and two pieces of good news.
Bad news: Every problem he faces is influenced by his leadership.
That’s not blame—it’s ownership.

Good news #1: If leadership influences every problem, it can also influence every solution.
Good news #2: There are only seven root causes of leadership problems.

They fall into seven categories:
1. Character – Arrogance, blame-shifting, or lack of accountability.
2. Competence – Relying on old skills instead of developing new ones.
3. Capacity – Mismanaging time, energy, attention, or resources.
4. Clarity – Failing to define priorities, plans, and roles.
5. Community – Allowing low trust, safety, or collaboration.
6. Culture – Tolerating behaviors that violate company values.
7. Consistency – Constantly shifting goals or expectations.

As I explain each one, Joe scores himself from 1–5.
By the end, he pinpoints his biggest issues: Clarity and Consistency.

3. Determine your critical actions. (8 minutes)
Once you know the true issues, you can take deliberate action to transform them into traits.
Joe and I brainstorm possible steps, identify what to stop doing, and commit to five specific actions for the next 90 days to strengthen his Clarity and Consistency.

My flight boards just as we finish.
Joe walks away with renewed focus, a clear plan, and a path to get unstuck.

The key to unleashing your leadership is to identify the issues that hold you back and transform those into traits that define your leadership.

Low energy destroys your leadership. 

Leadership is a high-output sport.

And most leaders show up with half a tank.

When energy runs low:
- It hurts your mental engagement
- It affects your decision making
- It leaves your team feeling like you don’t care.

The result?

Apathy replaces urgency.
Disconnection replaces trust.

You don’t fix this with more sleep (though that helps).
You fix it with Life-Giving Habits.

These are the routines that recharge you:
- A bike ride before work
- Reading something that inspires you
- Time in nature

It’s different for everyone.

But if you don’t intentionally replenish, 
leadership will eventually deplete you.

I discovered an unsettling pattern when I learned about our pastor.

From 2016-2018, I served as the Leadership Development Pastor at a large church in Texas (about 9,000 members).

When I first started, I met with every staff member individually. During those times, I heard a repeated theme.

Every few months, the pastor would read a book or attend a conference. He would get excited about it and declare a new vision for the church. Everyone would work intensely for the next 6 months. But progress never happened quickly (it never does, right?). The pastor would get discouraged because of how long it was taking.

Then he would read another book and find something new and exciting. He would declare a new vision for a church. And the whole cycle would repeat. 

I’ve seen the same pattern in many leaders since then. It’s a lack of CLARITY. 

You can create clarity when you answer 4 questions:
1. Where are we going? (the Vision)
2. How are we getting there? (the Plan)
3. What’s each person’s role in getting there? (the Roles)
4. Why is it important to get there? (the Purpose)

Once you answer those questions, you should rarely change the answers to questions 1&4. 

You can occasionally change the answers to questions 2&3

Arrogance in leaders is like cancer.

My mom died of cancer 13 years ago.

It ate up her organs,
and caused pain for everyone she influenced.

Arrogance in leaders is the same.

It destroys leaders from the inside
and damages every person a leader influences. 

Arrogance starts with small signs:
- brushing off feedback,
- focusing on personal wins,
- silencing others.

If this is left unchecked, 
it erodes trust and weakens team performance.

Here’s how to take practical steps that build humility 
and strengthen your leadership:

1. Ask for feedback
Arrogant leaders avoid critique. Healthy leaders seek it out.
Ask your team regularly: “What’s one thing I could do better?”
Make it safe for people to answer honestly—without fear of backlash.

2. Be prepared to change your mind
Arrogance clings to being right.
But strong leaders let go of ideas when new insights emerge.
Changing your mind isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.

3. Encourage disagreement
If no one on your team ever pushes back, you might not be as approachable as you think.
Disagreement, when invited and respected, is one of the most powerful tools for better decision-making.

Arrogance isolates leaders.
Humility invites your team to the table.

Most companies are like a crazy billionaire 

(not naming names, of course)

Here's why...

Imagine a billionaire resolving to end world hunger.

He takes his fortune to a mountain peak 
and tosses his money down the slopes.

He hopes that hungry people who live at the 
base will catch the cash and buy food.

The best word to describe this tycoon 

would be “crazy.”

Yet, this is the exact strategy that most executives use 
to develop their company’s leaders.

Companies spend approximately $366 Billion per year 
on leadership development.

But only 5% of companies have a strategy and 
plan for developing leaders.

In other words, 

they – like the crazy billionaire –
throw money at random leadership programs, 
hoping it will help the company develop better leaders.

More is better- this is what leaders believe. 

- More words in a speech.
- More slides in a presentation.
- More strategies in a plan.

It's a lie. 

In reality, complexity diminishes clarity. 

Overloaded messages overwhelm your team. 
They walk away confused, not committed.

The better approach? Simplify to amplify.

That’s one of the reasons my newest book is only 120 pages. 

Dorothy and I could’ve written a much bigger book. We have 25 years worth of more ideas and stories.

But it wouldn’t have made it better, only more confusing.  

Besides that, we saw Amazon research that found that most people only read the first 120 pages of a nonfiction book. So, why waste all that time writing something that people won’t read. 

Whether you’re writing a book or leading people, create clarity.

I thought I was dealing with terrible customer service.
Then I stepped out of the lounge… and everything changed.

Last week, Dorothy and I got stuck in LaGuardia.

Our flight kept sliding back… then changing… then canceling.
No warning. No explanation. No help.

I was furious.

But when we walked into the main terminal, the whole airport looked like a scene from the apocalypse.

People on the floor.
Every chair full.
Every restaurant packed.
Ninety-eight percent of all flights were grounded.

And that’s when it hit me.
The reps weren’t rude.
They weren’t lazy.
They weren’t ignoring us.
They simply didn’t tell us why the change was coming.

That’s the part leaders miss too.

We ask people to change without explaining the forces behind the change.
We expect them to shift direction, adjust plans, or take on new work… but they don’t know what’s driving it.

And when people don’t have clarity, they get angry, confused, and frustrated.
If you lead people, this matters.

A lack of clarity slows everything down.

My latest Friday 411 breaks this down and shows the four questions every leader must answer when leading change.

You can read it here: The Travel Meltdown That Revealed a Big Leadership  Gap https://lnkd.in/e_tu6UkR 

If you want to unleash your leadership, start with clarity.

Dear Leader,

Don't believe this dangerous myth:

”Leadership means control”

True leaders don’t control—they take ownership.

Here’s how control and ownership shape leadership differently.

- Control means micromanaging. | Ownership means guiding.
- Control blames others. | Ownership finds solutions.
- Control limits trust. | Ownership builds it.

The more you control, the less your team grows. 
The more you own, the stronger your leadership becomes.

Take ownership—not control—and watch your team thrive.

Every leader needs 2 kinds of character:

1) Moral character.
-Do what’s right and ethical.
-This type of character expected of every human.

2) Leadership character.
-Take ownership for your team’s results.
-Engage in the difficult decisions, conversations, and actions.
-This type of character is rare.
