We live in a time where the need for the skills required for transformational leadership are at an all-time high. As many of the bedrock institutions of western society (family, education, government, religion, etc) have lost some luster from previous generations, and blindly saluting the hierarchical structures has gone by the wayside, the question "Why?" has become preeminent. Why should I listen to you? Why should I follow you? Why should I respect or trust you? Why are YOU the leader? Why and how does it impact and benefit me to buy-in and follow? Why should we hire YOU to lead? Why and how are you going to be different than your predecessor? The value & ultimate success of leaders is in direct correlation to their ability to successfully convince those they lead and answer to that they are the person for the job in any environment or problem they may be posed with.

Make no mistake, leaders are in the reality creation business, and we will talk about and explore the 4 Main tools of transformational leaders (through both a historical lens & personal anecdote):

• Enactment
• Empowerment
• Paradigm Reframing
• Problem Displacement
