Hey everyone, I'm Roma, filling in for Doug this week to talk about a few of the most successful ways I've found useful in climbing the corporate ladder as a woman. 

There are a lot of things working against us both societally and culturally when it comes to specifically corporate life, and there's a few tips I've found extremely useful in navigating this environment and persevering in the field. 

I'm also jo...

We recently brought a few new team members onto out staff here at The Leaders Institute. And during the hiring process, we were flooded with dozens and dozens of highly qualified candidates who all told us the same thing. "Companies just aren't hiring right now."

I thought that was odd. Although GDP was -0.6 in the first quarter of 2025, GDP is growing at the highest rate it has since 2005 (absent the pandemic recover...

There will always be difficult employees in any organization. Be it a 2 person group, a mom and pop operation, or a fortune 500 company. Rotten tomatoes are inevitable, and your job as a leader is to make sure those couple rotten ones don't spoil the bunch. 

The problem is, how can you handle them when you don't even know which ones they are? Difficult employees come in so many different types and trying to solve...

Now I know it's only October and we haven't even seen Halloween yet, but I wanted to do a short episode on Christmas parties, end of the year parties, holiday activities, that type of stuff cause whenever it comes to planning those, now is the time to start. 

Here at the Leaders Institute, we help companies and clients organize team building activities year around but right about now until about December is our absolute bu...

Amy is in the process of writing a new book about owning your job and position and as we start getting into the interview she'll tell us how she kind of accidentally became an expert on this topic we're about to talk about. 

Through her life of early success, risks that pai...

On this episode, I'm going to focus on how to really develop leaders because it's a major goal for really every organization, no matter the size of your company, and right now is a great time to start planning for your future. 

In fact, if your organization has a culture of internal leadership development programs, you're going to be able to attract new team members as well as retain the top talent you already have.

Since we are at the very start of the holiday season, at least for businesses (and yes it is the start of the holiday season for business), company leaders both big and small have to start planning. 

Whether it's holiday parties, sales kickoffs, or, of course, annual meetings, the planning has to begin now, and it's worth planning them the right way. In the case of annual meetings, the importance is apparent. 

Most companie...

A couple of weeks ago, I released an episode about how people learn by doing, and I touched upon how to make training sessions more interactive so that your participants actually learn better and the information sticks longer. 

Well, on this episode, I'm gonna show you how to make training sessions way more fun and way more interactive. I'm going to give you five of the biggest things that me and my instructors u...

In today's episode, I'm going to cover a few of the several ways that managers or supervisors can learn a lot from looking at the skills that coaches possess.  

A common issue across so many managers, supervisors, and bosses out there is, regardless of how qualified they are as managers, they struggle desperately with being good leaders. Being a good leader, creating an effective environment, and manifesting real teamwork ...

One of the most common things that we hear after we lead a workshop or training seminar is, "I have to be honest. I was really dreading having to come to this class. But I think I had more fun and learned more in this session than I have from any other training program."

The reason why we get such good results is that we learned early on that people learn by doing -- not by hearing and seeing. So, boring lectures with a to...

I was traveling recently, and the person sitting next to me on the plane asked me what I did. I mentioned that companies hire me and my team members to come in and make meeting more fun and interesting.

She said, "Give me your card. I just left one of the most boring and taxing meetings ever organized."

And actually, that happens a lot. When event planners organize meetings, their time is limited. And they want to maximize ...

When people hear the phrase “corporate team building event”, they usually think of outdated or awkward activities. Maybe it’s trust falls, a pizza party, or that cringeworthy moment when everyone shares “something interesting about themselves.” In other words, not exactly exciting.

But team building doesn’t have to be cheesy. They can be fun. They can be powerful. And most importantly, they can make a real difference in how your tea...

Learning how to develop a growth mindset can transform a businessperson’s career from good to great. The Growth Mindset person sees every challenge as a chance to grow, not as a dead end. For example, they turn a botched deal into a lesson that lands bigger clients.

In this episode, we cover what a Growth Mindset is (and why we should even care about it). Then, I give you a bunch of real-world examples of the difference be...

With all the challenges going on in the economy right now, as a business owner or team leader, it's real easy to focus on the challenges and not your team. As human beings, we have a natural talent for reacting to situations versus planning for potential situations that may occur.

However, if you do the latter, you can capitalize on these challenges. The company or team that adapts first always has an advantage in the...

Happy Memorial Day, everybody, and thanks to all those families whose loved one paid the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

On this episode, I'm going to show you how to handle difficult employees. There will always be difficult employees in any organization. Even Fortune 500 companies have rotten tomatoes in them. As a leader, your job is to lead a team. Encourage them to do their work. Do their performance reviews, and...

Our topic today is Complacency in the Workplace. Specifically, I'll cover seven ways that past success can limit future growth. 

This is one of those topics that many leaders and business owners overlook. But those who have their pulse on their own complacency, and more importantly, the complacency of their team, can keep their business growing.

I'll explain this in the episode, but just as an overview, ...

Happy Halloween week everyone! Since the holiday season is right around the corner, I thought it might be a good idea to cover a few Christmas team building ideas. We are just a few weeks away from Thanksgiving here in the United States. And then, the hustle and bustle of the Christmas and Hannukah season will sneak up on you if you aren't careful.

A lot of team leads and small business owners want to do something spe...

This is part three of a three part series on how to know if someone is manipulating you. 

In the first two episodes, I talked about the three steps of manipulation. 

Step one is to put the person being manipulated into an emotional state. Typically, the manipulator will get you angry or create fear in the victim.

Step two is to create both a villain and a victim. And in many cases, the villain and the vic...
