What Would it Feel Like to Finally Reach Your Platform Potential?
Have you felt like your platform is stuck in neutral—or worse, reverse? For about a year I’d been wanting to make some changes to my blog and platform. I was looking for something, anything to help me stand out from the crowd. But not much changed, and I felt my platform was stagnant—until recently.
My Website After My Platform Makeover
For those of you who’ve read Michael’s recent posts, you may recognize that my platform and story were the subject of his Your Platform Makeover video series.
I was given the opportunity to receive coaching and work directly with Michael and his team through the process of tweaking my platform so I could take it to another level. It was an amazing experience!

Episode 10: How to Lead from the Heart—4 Practices [Podcast]
Welcome to the new season of This Is Your Life. In this tenth episode, Michele Cushatt, my co-host, and I talk about the importance of the leader’s heart.
If you can’t see this video in your RSS reader or email, then click here.
This topic is rarely discussed in a business context, but I believe your heart is the most important thing you bring to the table as a leader.
It’s more important than your experience.
It’s more important than your education.
It’s more important than your skills.
It is the thing that really makes a difference in your leadership and the impact you have on the world. If you come with your whole heart, it’s very different from coming without it.

8 Simple Tweaks That Will Skyrocket Your Blog’s Traffic, Growth, and Impact
It’s not as difficult as it might seem to get your message the attention it deserves, especially when so many others are doing it so poorly. All you need to do is to make a few small changes to really move the needle.
Blogger and speaker Jackie Bledsoe is a regular guy with a important message to share on helping men lead and love their families. He’s getting traction, but not the kind he needs to really break out from the crowd.
He has a book coming out soon, and he knows a bigger platform would dramatically improve his chances of success. However, he’s not sure where to start. It seems overwhelming. (Sound familiar?)
In my new, free video series, Your Platform Makeover I give Jackie an intensive, high-octane reboot. And the great news is that everything I show him can also help you skyrocket your blog’s traffic, growth, and impact.
To learn how a handful of simple but powerful changes can help you grow your platform, sign up for my new video series, Your Platform Makeover. It’s free for a limited time. Click here to watch it now.

Why Your Peer Group Matters More Than You Think
Have you ever noticed how the people in your life affect you? The impact can be so significant that one of the best things we can do to change our lives for the better is change our peer group.
In the 1930s C.S. Lewis started a small literary circle called the Inklings. The group started with J.R.R. Tolkien, and eventually included others like Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. The influence on works in progress of the different members was huge.
Lewis actually scrapped the first draft of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe after his friends heard some chapters. They considered it “so bad that I destroyed it,” he said. It’s impossible to discount the influence of our friends.

4 Surefire Ways to Get the Most from the Next Conference You Attend
One thing leaders need to lead well are new and fresh insights, and one of the best ways to find them is by attending conferences. But eureka moments are not automatic. It takes intentionality to get the most of out of your experience.
In my experience, people go to conferences for a lot of reasons other than the stated purpose. It’s a chance to get away from the office, to reconnect with colleagues and friends, or maybe just hide out in a hotel room and catch up on an important project.
Those might be fair reasons to go, but what if you’re actually there for the content? How do you get the most from your experience?

Here are three small changes that have been huge for my growth.
