Leadership and Life

Sandy Geroux, M.S.
Leadership is not confined to the workplace. It crosses industries and permeates every aspect of our lives. That is why this show is called Leadership and Life. My guests and I will talk about what makes great leaders great. We will share tips, tools, mindsets and behaviors that demonstrate the human side of our best leaders and reveal how they inspire exceptional levels of excellence and loyalty in their teams. Our guests know that a great way to engage others is to create a bridge that relates to their lives. So, during part of each show, we will dive into one of those universal bridges, and one of my favorite parts of life, food! Business and personal gatherings center around it. It crosses all boundaries. Each week we will share our favorite recipes. I invite you to share yours. Join me as we feed our minds and bodies with recipes for success that will develop our skills and guide us to be the best we can be, in and out of the workplace.

In this episode, Jim Johnson, Founder and President of Bike Tours Direct (and one of the most innovative and creative people I know) shares his experiences of re-inventing himself, creating a highly successful online travel business and finding new ways to engage and WOW both his clients and his employees. He is also one of the most funny and FUN individuals you'll ever meet. His quick wit and sense of humor come through in his daily life and it's no wonder that his employees look for ways to stay with him and his company, even when they plan to move out of the area where his office is located. And Jim wants to retain them, looking for innovative ways to keep the team engaged and the culture intact, while being flexible enough to let them live the lifestyle they choose. You will not want to miss this enlightening, informative and engaging interview!

WOWplace Rule Number 3: A WOWplace is HUMAN... not HUMANOID
In this episode, Sandy takes a look at how human leaders who focus on their associates, coach them and pay attention to them as people first and employees second experience much more success than those who subscribe to the outdated notion that there is no room for emotion in the workplace. She also discusses the fact that although we certainly have specific Job Duties for each position, we also have Human Duties that accompany every job we do. Join Sandy and find out how humanity, compassion, coaching and caring can turn any workplace into a WOWplace!
