Leadership Lesson: It’s Fickle 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: It’s Fickle

Leadership is like fitness.

You can get fit.

But you can always get fitter.

You can learn to lead.

But can always become a better leader. 

Depending on how you view it, this can be exciting or depressing.

Exciting because there’s an endless opportunity to improve. 

Depressing because it’s overwhelming to know you need to to improve. 

That’s why leadership can be fickle.

My lesson today?

Realize that Leadership is a journey.

Sometimes you are ahead.

Sometimes you are behind.

The road is long.

The secret is to keep your head up and develop more skills every day.

“1 day at a time” as they say in my 12-step group.

This will help you navigate the fickle waters of this thing we call leadership.

[MM]: My Level 10 Problem + Your Solution

Happy Monday Mindset!

“OMG, babe, something is wrong, I cannot walk!”

That is what I shrieked in late August to my wife Tatiana as I hopped off the treadmill just finishing my 2-mile run in agonizing pain!

You see, I love to run as it unlocks mental clarity and creativity which is my therapy. I run a couple of miles a day.

However, while I am a fit guy, flexibility and mobility are the weakest part of the fitness game.

The problem?

It became apparent when my legs locked up in the pain due to the tightness. I was now facing a Level 10 problem due to my lack of focus on it.  

I realized in that moment, that unless I begin to take action toward increasing my flexibility, there’s a tough road that awaits me.

So the next day I swallowed my pride and researched stretching coaches in my area which led to David.

I walked in on September 10, terrified but knew I needed help. 

After the initial stretch, while difficult, I could see the value.

I then asked for a long-term discounted membership.

Why long-term?

Well, I know that 1-2 months of stretching is a good start. However, it’s not going to reverse the 41 years of lack of attention.

So that next week, I got to work with David. 

Initially, we met 1x per week and after a few months have now increased it to 2x per week with 1 yoga session on Sundays.

It hasn’t been fun or easy.

In fact, hard, really hard.

However, fast forward nearly 6 months and I just hit my 40th guided stretch.

Am I a rubber band man yet?

No.

However, I’m out of pain and can see significant progress!

Game changer!

My message?

In the words of my friend Craig Ballantyne:

Identify what your Level 10 problem is and then begin to take Level 10 action against it!

This is how you build a better life.

No, it won’t be easy, but if you stick with it, it will be worth it.

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: It’s hard 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: It’s hard

Working with people is hard.

Building a team is hard.

Leading is hard.  

This is the hard truth of life, leadership, and business.

However, here’s the 2nd truth.

While hard.

This is where the value lies.  

My lesson today is this: 

When things get hard.

When people’s issues stack up.

Reframe your frustration to gratitude.

After all, your ability to lead and problem-solve through people issues is where your value & opportunity lies.

So embrace the hard!

[MM]: A reminder from Daphe, Alabama 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: A reminder from Daphe, Alabama

Happy Monday Mindset!

This past weekend I spent in Daphne, Alabama.

I was there with my Fit Body Boot Camp Media team to capture some inspirational content showcasing some amazing transformations of our Fit Body clients.

While that was the business focus.

I was also there to acknowledge our amazing clients of Daphne Fit Body, and my dear friend Steven Hadley.

Steven and I met over 12+ years ago and he’s had a big impact on my life and career. We have learned and grown with each other over the years.

He has a big heart and passion to serve our mission of Inspiring Fitness and Changing Lives which he has done successfully for nearly 15 years.

He’s also a great leader and we have a mutual admiration for the great Nick Saban. 

To his big credit, he’s brought massive innovation to our brand so it was a neat opportunity to spend some time with him, his wife Lori, and the team for a win-win.

While there I had a BIG AH-HAH which made me think of you.

With all the hustle, bustle, and distractions in this thing called life.

The truth is that if you have 1) health and 2) relationships with good people who love you, you’re doing well in life.

If you’re anything like me who sometimes forgets this truth.

This weekend was a giant reminder of my blessings.

My hope is you take 2 minutes this Monday and reflect on yours.

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: Your Leadership Capacity 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Your Leadership Capacity

A couple of weeks ago, we had our coach facing Elite Training in Southern California. My brother Barrett led an incredible workshop and asked me to speak on Leadership.

In my talk, I laid out a framework for self-leadership called the 2 D’s which are founded on 1) Direction and 2) Discipline.

To lead yourself and others, you need both.

Specific to discipline, here is what I know to be true and shared in the training around your leadership capacity. 

“Your leadership capacity is only as strong as your level of discipline.”

Let this sync in and your leadership will grow.

[MM]: Your #1 Wealth. 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Your #1 Wealth.

Happy Monday Mindset!

Your Health is Your #1 Wealth.

I was humbly reminded of this famous adage last week.

“A healthy man has a million dreams, a sick man has one.”

Why?

I picked up the flu with a 102 fever for 4 days.

It broke a 2-year no-sick streak.

I was seeing stars, in a world of pain, and it wiped out my week.

It wasn’t fun but was a good reminder of today’s mindset message:

Your Health is Your #1 Wealth.

Invest in it.

Without it, nothing else matters.

Make it a GREAT week!

Leadership Lesson: Your Health is Your #1 Wealth 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Your Health is Your #1 Wealth

I was humbly reminded of this famous adage last week.

“A healthy man has a million dreams, a sick man has one.”

That’s right: Your Health is Your #1 Wealth!

Why do I share this today?

Last week I broke a 2-year no-sick streak but grabbed the flu on Tuesday accompanied by a 102 fever through Thursday. 

I was seeing stars, in a world of pain, and wiped out my week.

Today’s leadership lesson?

Your health is your biggest life and leadership asset.

Invest in it.

Without it, nothing else matters.

Leadership Lesson: It’s not as bad or good as you think 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: It’s not as bad or good as you think

Today’s lesson is one of acquiring emotional intelligence. 

This is mission-critical to be a strong leader.

Maybe even one of the top skill sets needed for the job.

Yes, much easier said than done which is why leadership is hard and requires self-mastery.

Why do I share this today?

I had a thought back to an embarrassing situation in my youth. I was 20 years old when my girlfriend broke up with me.

I overreacted, overdrank, and made a scene.

I thought the “world was over”.

It was ugly.

The truth?

I look back and laugh as I am 21 years removed from the situation.

There are many lessons I learned from this experience.

One of them is in perspective.

What I learned is that most things in life are not as good or bad as they seem at the moment.

When things are going well.

Guess what?

This too shall pass.

When you’re down on your luck.

Guess what?

This too shall pass.

Today’s leadership lesson?

Keep in control of your emotions, not the other way around.

What I’ve learned in life and leadership is that most times it’s not as good or bad as you think.

So take a deep breath and keep leading!

[MM]: Live Events Change Lives 150 150 Bryce Henson

[MM]: Live Events Change Lives

Happy Monday Mindset!

I spent the weekend in Costa Mesa, California with over 100+ Fit Body Boot Camp coaches from across North America.

My HQ team hosted this Fit Body Elite Coaches Training and the first of 2 main live events of the year.

During the 3 day event, we poured into our coaches to level their knowledge up so they can level up their client’s experience and results.

This creates more impact and income for their location.

Win-win-win!

Looking internally, I was there to teach but I learned.

I learned that there are alot of good people in the world.

I learned that our youth is hungry to learn and grow.

I learned that they want impact and have a work ethic.

Many were 1/2 my age.

However, my biggest takeaway was this reminder:

Live Events Change Lives.

Why?

There’s something magical when humans get together working towards a common mission.

We are tribal and this unlocks a creative and inspiring part of our nature.

As the saying goes: 

 “Iron Sharpens Iron”.

Today’s mindset message is this:

Take the shot you’ve been longing to take.

Put yourself out there even though there’s fear.

Attend that event you desire but are nervous to attend.

You will learn, grow, and be inspired to take more action toward a life of income, impact,t, and legacy.

After all: 

Live Events Change Lives.

Leadership Lesson: Feeling Heard 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership Lesson: Feeling Heard

A leadership truth I’ve learned and was reminded of in 2024 that can be counterintuitive is this:

Your following can and will get behind an idea that isn’t theirs. 

However, there’s 1 important caveat.

Their ideas and feedback need to be heard before they will get on board. 

The opposite is true.

If you don’t create the space to ensure your team’s ideas are shared and they feel heard. 

Human nature shuts down, your influence declines and you will feel noticeable resistance. 

The lesson?

Create space for your team’s ideas to be shared and ask for feedback to ensure they feel heard.

Then decide with conviction, and your team will go with you even if it wasn’t their ideal choice.

Just ensure they feel heard!

Onward.
