We hear about the importance of leadership and being a good leader all the time… but what does that really mean in today’s challanging and economically tough times?
Are you a good or even great leader?
Or could you improve your leadership skills?
What leadership skill do you need as a fitness professional?
Can you acquire those kills or do you need to be born with them? If you’re anything like me and several million other people you’ve been glued to the TV this week watching in amazement the spectacular levels of athleticism our fellow human beings are capable of.
If so, you are watching a form of leadership that models what’s possible and inspires action. Witnessing a young women of only 16 push her body to the limit while displaying owe inspiring levels of courage in the face of disappointment touches a part of us that goes well beyond the emotional stimuli of Monday Night Football.
Having the opportunity to watch history in the making as Michael Phelps swims his way to more gold then Mr. T would ever dare to dream of has challenged me do more and be more– to manifest my leadership role in a way that inspires others to get up off the couch and move. Not because they have to but because they want to.
Someone who has captured the gold in the area of personal training, inspiring others and leadership is IDEA and ACE personal Trainer of the Year Todd Durkin.
