George Broostin posed with me at the Good Leadership Training graduation ceremonies. What a handsome guy!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The theme for my summer blogs this year is growth: I love watching people grow. At Good Leadership Enterprises our business is to accelerate growth in good leaders. Over the next ten weeks you will meet people who are radiating goodness every day.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s spotlight is on George Broostin<\/a>, Director of Development at Guild Incorporated<\/a>, and recent graduate of Good Leadership Training<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I consider George a friend, because he is exceptionally thoughtful – and we sing together in the Rotary Rooters glee club every Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

George has been a senior leader for many years\u00a0and has heard volumes of management advice\u2026so he was surprised and delighted when Good Leadership Training not only connected him with other good leaders, but also gave him meaningful motivation to improve personally and professionally.<\/p>\n

Better Listening<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the skills George wanted to develop was listening. \u201cIt\u2019s easy for me to talk too much, so in Training I intentionally stepped back.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 Throughout Good Leadership Training, he challenged himself to ask more insightful questions and let a conversation unfold; rather than drive it. \u201cI knew I would learn more by listening and soaking it in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Peer Coaching<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Coaching
“Coaching Buddies” was an important element in accelerating George Broostin’s growth as a leader.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Good Leadership Training features \u201cCoaching Buddies\u201d as an important catalyst for\u00a0growth. Hearing diverse perspectives and immediate feedback holds each participant accountable to the Cornerstones of Goodness: excellence, generosity, fairness and positivity. George was paired with two other good leaders, and the three Buddies clicked instantly. \u201cWe all had distinct leadership styles, and I got to observe how they answered questions and told stories. That\u2019s how I learn best.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>His focus on listening helped him create deeper connections.<\/p>\n

In those conversations, George knew important areas of his life were weak before Training. The Seven Fs reflection tool<\/a> that measures faith, family, finance, fitness, friends, fun, and future, inspired\u00a0George to re-focus on what he values the most.<\/p>\n

Radiating Goodness<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"George
George (center) and his husband Jake are State Champion Dahlia growers. This year they won 18 blue ribbons.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As a result, George learned simple lessons about the power of reflection on his own life routines. \u201cThe Seven Fs had a serious impact on my life. I took vacations that I had been dreaming about, and I dedicated myself to staying closer to friends. And seeing how I scored my Fitness was the motivation I needed to lose 35 pounds.\u201d<\/em> Developing his listening made him a better fundraiser, and George attributes that success to the Training\u2019s leadership tune-up. \u201cI feel myself radiating the positive energy that Paul calls goodness!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Good leaders\u00a0invest in peer group experiences to reflect and refocus. And they surround themselves with good leaders who help them grow.<\/p>\n

Please share with me:\u00a0who is helping you grow?<\/p>\n

The next Good Leadership Training<\/a> peer group begins in September of this year. Send us a note if you\u00a0want to learn more.<\/p>\n
