Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lessons 150 150 Bryce Henson

Success Leaves Clues: Nick Saban’s Leadership Lessons

Success leaves clues. Like within our franchise system, most times there’s not a need to reinvent the wheel.

Instead, look for success at the highest levels and model it.

That’s the formula I have used for any success I have achieved to date. And one that I encourage you to do the same.

Recently, Steven Hadley sent me the recently published “The Leadership Secrets of Nick Saban.”

If you are not familiar, Saban is the undisputed best college football coach in history. 

It’s an incredible read with some big takeaways from one of the best leaders in history. In the book, there are 11 leadership lessons Saban runs his program by.

We will explore them over the next 11 weeks starting with Lesson number 1 today.

Lesson 1. There is no “I” in the team. But there is an “I” in win.

Coach Saban preaches individual responsibility.  His teams perform their best when individuals put the group first and do what is best for the team.

[MM] Rest at the end, not in the middle….

This past weekend was special as my brother Barrett and I took the opportunity and spent Saturday afternoon with some brother bonding time.

We had a good deep chat about business and life.

We also watched some sports. 

In fact, it was a crazy weekend for football with some fun games and big upsets! I still cannot believe Tennessee overtook the Crimson Tide from Alabama.

And while the mid-season weekend was fun, I was also reminded of the late Kobe Bryant.

I was a huge fan and loved his famous quote “Rest at the end, not in the middle”.

Why is this significant?

That’s where we are my friend, in the middle!!

The middle of the Fall Challenge, the middle of the football season, the middle of life, the middle of greatness.

Yes, I know you are busy and sometimes life can feel overwhelming.

It definitely does for me at times too.

But just as Kobe said, “keep going as you can rest at the end, but not in the middle!”

Let’s make it a great week!

Leadership is influence. Nothing more or less. 150 150 Bryce Henson

Leadership is influence. Nothing more or less.

Last week I had one of my followers on the Gram tell me I was an idiot on a post I made about citing Adolf Hitler’s strong leadership skills. 

He went on to tell me how Hitler was a horrible person so couldn’t be a good leader. Stating that he didn’t get any electoral votes citing government beauracity and positional authority.

While I agree with his facts on the lack of democracy. I also agree that clearly, Hiter was a HORRIBLE person.

But he missed the point on what leadership actually is. 

Yes, Hitler was a HORRIBLE person but a great leader.

Leadership is influence. 

Nothing more or less.

If you have influence, you have leadership.

And clearly he had it.

Taking it a step deeper into the rabbit hole..

Leadership is actually neutral. 

It is just a tool that can be used for the good and bad.

So my message today is to arm yourself with leadership skills. 

And then use them for good to HELP and NOT hurt others!

Fit Body Attempts Guinness Book of World Record for a Cause 1024 811 Bryce Henson

Fit Body Attempts Guinness Book of World Record for a Cause

Yes, you read that right. 👍

This past Saturday I was in Grand Rapids Michigan supporting one of my best friends and Franchise Partners Matt Wilber.

He and a team of 7 West Michigan Fit Body locations organized a group Jumping Jack Work Out which was an official attempt at the Guinness Book of World Records.🔥

There were over 1,500 people in attendance. 

The energy was electric!!⚡️

Sadly we came up short by roughly 750 participants.

While bummed we didn’t break the record.

There was a GIANT silver lining..

Our Fit Body clients donated nearly 100K for the Big Give Non-profit. Which means over 1,000 underprivileged kids in West Michigan will have a Christmas.🎄

This, my friend, was the fundamental reason for the event.

So ultimately it was a historic win!!🙌

There was so much love and support from Matt, our Fit Body team, clients, and the community in the Midwest.

We did a lot of good in the process.

I hope this inspires you to take part in our incredible brand whose mission is to Inspire Fitness & Change Lives here in Mission Viejo AND in our local communities across North America!

The best part?

Next year when we officially break the record.. 

It will be that much sweeter.

The 5 C’s of the leadership framework is Consistency. 150 150 Bryce Henson

The 5 C’s of the leadership framework is Consistency.

The 5 C’s of the leadership framework is Consistency. 

As its essence, Consistency is trust. 

And without trust, a leader is ineffective and the team & mission break down.

The cold hard truth. So if you want to separate yourself, begin cleaning up your consistency.

  • Email on a schedule.
  • Meet on a schedule
  • Work out on a schedule.

Consistency is both predictability & trust which is a great thing when you lead!

So my message today is to clean up your consistency and level up your leadership.

[MM] Fit Body on FOX – the countries biggest health crisis 1024 768 Bryce Henson

[MM] Fit Body on FOX – the countries biggest health crisis

Happy Monday! 🙌

I am excited to go back home after a 10-day trip to the midwest!

There were many highlights including being featured on FOX 2 News Detroit with my brother Barrett. Barrett is a Fit Body owner in Michigan and Executive Director of Coaching for the brand.

It was really fun following his lead and seeing the great relationship he has built with the station which gives a platform to discuss health and wellness.💥

Specifically, FOX 2 recently reached out to him and brought us on to cover the Obesity Epidemic. As statistically it has been and continues to be the most severe health crisis our country faces. 

In fact, it was the root cause of 80% of COVID’s hospitalizations and fatalities. And sadly, the problem has become even worse in the last few years. 💯

Below are some stats from the CDC.

The scariest part? 😱

These are pre-COVID. They are now much worse. 

  • 42.4% of Adults in the US are defined as Obese 
  • 32% of adults in the US are defined as Overweight 
  • 20% of children in the US are defined as Obese 

And the most challenging part of being a Fitness Coach is when I get the response, “Bryce, I cannot afford to get fit.” 

My response?

You cannot afford not to be fit. ✅

As the CDC’s data shows it costs the average Obese American $1,500/year more in health care costs and nearly $200 BILLION dollars collectively as a country. 

Both scary and mind-boggling. 

The takeaway?

You either pay for your fitness or sickness. The choice is yours.👊

The best part?

My team and I are here to help which is my message for today!🙏

Lean on us and do it often! We are PASSIONATE about beating this and here for you! So please reach out!👍

Communication is the 4th C in effective leadership 150 150 Bryce Henson

Communication is the 4th C in effective leadership

Communication is the 4th C in effective leadership. 

From Kennedy to Hitler (yes he was a horrible person but great leader), to Martin Luther King Jr., great leadership requires strong communication. In fact, you cannot show me a strong leader without this ability. 

This is especially true in today’s technological age. As there are many modalities to master.

From 1-1 meetings, weekly L10’s, boardroom presentations, broadcast emails, live videos on social media, Zoom presentations, and speaking on stage to hundreds, or thousands of people…

There are many ways to communicate.  

Which also means there are many opportunities to improve this critical skill which will add to your leadership ability.

Connection is the next C in the 5 step framework of leadership. 150 150 Bryce Henson

Connection is the next C in the 5 step framework of leadership.

Connection is the next C in the 5 step framework of leadership.

Why?

Leadership is about being able to build deep connections with others. Otherwise known as relationships.

In fact, in order to acquire leadership capital with your following, you have to build strong relationships. 

There’s no other way.

As without deep connection, it’s an uphill battle to lead.

The secret?

You must inherently like people.

Such a basic concept, but mission critical in your leadership.

If you do, you have an incredible advantage as building connections becomes much easier.

As when you do create connections, you increase your influence and can lead at a higher level.

[MM] A White Belt Mentality 768 1024 Bryce Henson

[MM] A White Belt Mentality

BOOM!💥

That was the loud sound of my friend James slamming me on the mat at my first Brazilian Jitsu session on Saturday.

The experience was extremely, extremely, extremely humbling to say the least.

While I pride myself on my fitness and athleticism, I was thrown around like a rag doll.👎

Candidly, I was no match for James who has been training for the better part of a decade. 

In fact, Saturday reminded me of my very first personal training session in January 2007. I felt awkward, scared, uncomfortable, and so out of place.

And I would imagine the exact same feeling as many of our newbies who enrolled in our brand-wide Fall Challenge which kicks off today.

Excited and nervous all at the same time. 

There is something special and needed, in taking a bit of humble pie, putting on your proverbial white belt on and pushing through your comfort zone.

As your comfort zone is where all the growth, the breakthroughs, the happier and better version of you remains.

But the secret is being willing to put that while belt on and start. 🔥

To start is always the hardest and scariest part. 

But when you do, and while incredibly challenging in the moment..

Eventually, the world opens up to you and your life gets better. Just as long as you stay strong and don’t quit. 👊

That’s been my experience with fitness and life. 💪

And I want that for you. 💯

Make it a great week!

-Coach Bryce
