Nothing significant ever happens alone. In other words: the #1 reason entrepreneurs stall is the failure to build a team who can lift the business to the next level. Today,\u00a0I am savoring the time spent with a collection of gifted colleagues we had gathered for a training retreat last week. We are building around us.<\/p>\n

A leap of faith<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, as daylight crept above the horizon of Gull Lake in northern Minnesota, I inhaled the promise of a new day. The “promise” was in the investment Melinda and I are making in building a team. The “new day” is about many\u00a0years to come.<\/p>\n

\"The
The promise of a new day rising over Gull Lake was a reminder for me to “let go, to let grow.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The mission of our enterprise<\/a> is to “spread goodness through leadership and business.” To make that mission come alive, it needs to be bigger than “Paul Batz.” So, we selected the six best and brightest coaches\/facilitators we’ve met since starting the business nearly six years ago. The purpose of the retreat was to train them to help us spread goodness\u00a0faster.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Staring at the steam rising from the lake I wondered: “where might the energy of this retreat go?” I know where I hope it will go…but that also means I have to “let go, to let grow!”<\/p>\n

What’s a goodness badge?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"The
The Good Leadership Training program helps good leaders learn to radiate goodness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The highest compliment for any good leader is when someone says: “You radiate goodness!”\u00a0Two of the coaches – Peter and Amy – are\u00a0helping\u00a0us launch the first-ever Good Leadership Training<\/a> program on September 18.<\/p>\n

It’s a program based on the powerful senior executive leadership\u00a0tools we use in one-on-one coaching. The magic in this program is a peer-coaching strategy which will help 24+ leaders lift each other to the next level of their leadership.<\/p>\n

Peter and Amy are terrific role models of the content around Blending the Seven Fs<\/a>: faith, family, finances, fitness, friends, fun and future into their leadership. And how to make good leadership\u00a0decisions based on the Cornerstones of Goodness: excellence, generosity, fairness and positivity.<\/p>\n

Where’s the team headed?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"We
We have a small team, but we are growing together! Here’s the picture of us taking the “selfie.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

An African proverb says:\u00a0If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.\u00a0<\/em>One of the facilitators flew in from Pennsylvania – another intends to take this program with her to California.\u00a0<\/em>As the goodness movement continues to grow, we expect to increase participation in Good Leadership Training<\/a> and other mission-oriented programs like the Good Leadership Breakfast Series<\/a>. We hope you are interested in learning how you can get involved.<\/p>\n

Good leaders invest in building a team of people around them who make everyone\u00a0better. And they let go, so they can let grow!<\/p>\n
