Walt Hampton, CEO of Summit Success International and author of The Power Principles of Time Mastery: Do Less, Make More, Have Fun, joins us to share his insights on reclaiming time, energy, and focus for leaders. In a world where many fall into the habit of saying "yes" too often, Walt highlights how this can lead to burnout and inefficiency. He stresses the importance of intentional time management, blocking time for deep work, and confidently saying "no" to protect our most valuable resources. By doing so, we avoid opportunity costs and maintain our personal energy for what truly matters.
Walt offers practical strategies for time mastery, such as aligning our daily schedules with our core values and understanding our most productive rhythms. He encourages us to make time for self-care, creativity, and strategic thinking by working smarter, not harder. His approach empowers leaders to prioritize what’s most important and create lasting success through more focused, intentional effort.
Key Takeaways:
The Power of Saying No: Learning to say "no" is essential for leaders to avoid burnout and focus on high-value tasks. Block Time for Deep Work: Use uninterrupted blocks of time to work on important projects and maximize productivity. Align Time with Values: Ensure your schedule reflects your top priorities and values for a more fulfilling and efficient work-life balance. Understand Productive Rhythms: Work in 60-90 minute blocks during your most productive times and take breaks to maintain energy. Limit Interruptions: Minimize distractions and interruptions to improve focus and reduce time lost to task switching.Resources Mentioned:

Meet Daphna Horowitz, a CEO coach, leadership expert, and author known for her bold approach to leadership and personal growth. Daphna believes that courage is essential in navigating the complexities and uncertainties leaders face today. She introduces the idea that true leadership starts from within, requiring self-awareness and the willingness to make bold moves, even in the face of fear. Daphna explains that leaders must embrace discomfort and push beyond their comfort zones to achieve growth for themselves and their organizations.
In our conversation, we explore her "ABC" leadership model, which highlights three key areas: Awareness, Bold moves, and Communication, and explores each at two levels. Daphna emphasizes that understanding ourselves is the foundation of courageous leadership. Leaders must also make bold decisions, even in uncertain circumstances, and communicate effectively to create strong connections with their teams. Through practical advice and personal insights, Daphna encourages leaders to embrace vulnerability, build deeper relationships, and continually grow by staying curious and open to learning.
Key Takeaways:
1. Self-Awareness is Key: Leadership starts from within. Knowing your strengths, weaknesses, and motivations allows you to lead more effectively.
2. Courage in Uncertainty: Leaders face constant ambiguity. Bold decisions are essential, even when you don't have all the answers.
3. Effective Communication: Clear, consistent communication builds trust and connection with your team, even in uncertain times.
4. Bold Moves Drive Growth: Taking risks, despite fear, is necessary for personal and organizational growth.
5. Continuous Learning: Great leaders stay curious, continually learning about themselves, their teams, and new ways to improve.

Our guest today is Therese Longo, an expert in Human Performance Technology (HPT), who has dedicated her career to enhancing how organizations develop their people. Therese’s approach shifts the focus from traditional competency and behavior-based models to accomplishment-focused strategies that drive real results. She realized that while training is often seen as the go-to solution for performance issues, it doesn’t always address the root of the problem. Her journey into HPT began when she connected with mentors and industry leaders, leading her to adopt innovative techniques that emphasize measurable outcomes and sustainable growth.
In our conversation, we explore how accomplishment-focused methods can transform performance management systems and talent development processes. Therese emphasizes the importance of understanding the full scope of human performance rather than just relying on training. By leveraging HPT principles, she guides us on how to identify what truly drives success in our teams and organizations.
This episode is a deep dive into rethinking performance management, offering practical insights on how we can shift from generic training to strategies that foster meaningful accomplishments and lasting impact.
Key Takeaways:
1. Accomplishment-Focused Approach: Shifting focus from traditional competency models to accomplishment-driven strategies can lead to better performance outcomes.
2. Training Isn’t Always the Solution: While training can help, it often doesn’t address the full scope of performance issues; understanding the root causes is crucial.
3. Human Performance Technology (HPT): HPT provides a framework to analyze and improve human performance by focusing on measurable accomplishments.
4. Identifying Performance Gaps: Therese emphasizes the importance of pinpointing specific areas that impact performance rather than applying generic training solutions.
5. Sustainable Growth: By leveraging HPT principles, organizations can create more effective, long-term improvements in their talent development and management processes.

Why do we drift away from our values and our integrity? Is it inevitable? Does it happen to everyone? And what can we do when it happens?
John Blumberg joins me to answer these questions. John is a national speaker and author and his thought leadership on integrity deepens and broadens our understanding and experience the concept of integrity.
This conversation will make you think!
About the Guest:
John G. Blumberg is a national speaker and author. His thought leadership on integrity may very well deepen and broaden how you personally experience the concept of integrity.
In 1996, John left behind an 18-year career he loved … one that had taken him from CPA to worldwide recruiting responsibilities at Arthur Andersen.
Over the two decades that followed, John has evolved his general focus on leadership and culture … to a laser focus on precisely what fuels them.
John is the author of four books. His most recent two books are both titled Return On Integrity. One of them was written specifically for the leader-at-the-top of any organization and is subtitled The New Definition of ROI and Why Every Leader Needs to Know It. The other was written for everyone … regardless of title, role or stage of life. It is subtitled, The Individual’s Journey to the One Essential Thing.
Leading business author Patrick Lencioni describes Return On Integrity as “the most comprehensive compelling guide to core values I’ve ever seen. It’s a treasure for leaders who understand the importance of culture.”
