The Controlling leader
When you try to control what you can only influence, you will come across as:
manipulating
power hungry
stressed
domineering
uptight
overly forceful
a know-it-all all
anxious
it's all about you
When you try to control what you can only influence, you will:
drive yourself crazy
exhaust yourself
stress yourself out
feel inadequate
make poor decisions
lose sight of what is really important
focus on what you don't have more than what you do have
Control what you can control.
Influence what you can influence.
And know the difference between the two.

360' Leadership Assessment - I have yet to meet an elite leader who isn’t hungry to grow and improve. The problem is when you become a head coach, feedback gets more and more rare. Let Travis take you through a 360’ review that will shine a spotlight on your superpowers (strengths) and also identify ways in which you can get better. This is for high-level leaders with a hunger to continue to improve! Email Travis at travis@kingdomcoachingtw.com to learn more or get started.
Interview Prep - The person who lands to job isn't always to best leader or coach. It is often the leader or coach who is able to articulate their vision, principles, and strategies the best. In order for us to be our best during an interview, we need to prepare. Let us help you get ready so you can land your dream job!
