The Mentor's Guide to Presidential Leadership Includes:
The Greatness of George Washington
Few helped shape the country like George Washington. In this lesson, John speaks to the qualities that made George Washington our first-pick for president and our first example of American democracy and leadership.
Leading Like Lincoln
Everyone has heard Abraham Lincoln referred to as “Honest Abe,” the man who brought harmony to the American people at a time of great dissonance. In this lesson, John will give you some behind-the-scenes insight into a man who was truly a winner of American hearts. You’ll learn some facts you probably did not know about our 16th president and why he was so successful as a leader.
Teddy Roosevelt's Leadership Ideals
Teddy Roosevelt’s ideals allowed him to lead the “Rough Riders” in Cuba during the Spanish-American War, revive the Panama Canal project, and broker peace in the Russo-Japanese War, for which he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. His track record for making difficult and widely-impactful decisions with confidence is what makes him a model for excellence in leadership. Backed with practical application from John, you’ll look back on the adventurous spirit of this great leader, and learn what he did that works, so you can apply it to your own big projects and challenges.
Ronald Reagan: The Great Communicator
Reagan’s aptitude for connecting with audiences garnered him the nickname “The Great Communicator.” He was inventive in his solutions throughout unforeseen difficulties as a radio announcer and during his presidency. As a leader, your challenge is not merely to disseminate information but to capture the imagination of your people. These are lessons you can learn with John as you explore the presidency of Ronald Reagan.
Founding Fathers: Part 1, Part 2, & Part 3
In this three part series, John explores Early-American heroes including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and Paul Revere as they lived out the daring leadership and teamwork to pave the way for our country’s independence. These risk-takers paid the price for freedom and we can learn from their qualities and through their strategy, creativity, catalytic leadership, and teamwork.
