If you're anything like the leaders I work with, you're likely dedicated to serving others and investing all your efforts in your organization. However, amidst your commitment, it's possible that there's not enough focus on your personal development and the enhancement of your capabilities. It's certainly true that you face unique challenges, and you'd benefit from external assistance, experience, and perspective.
I believe the lack of focus on your growth as a leader poses one of the greatest threats to your people and organization. Why? Because the state of leadership ripples through everything, and everyone else. Leadership creates a ripple effect; when you, as a leader, enhance your skills, everyone reaps the rewards. On the flip side, if you hit a plateau, the entire company feels the impact.
When leaders are ready for transformative change and catalytic
growth, I'm here to support and build into them!
This resource highlights 7 skills leaders can't afford to lack. Designed to be digested in minutes- you'll find actionable steps of growth you can apply right now. Why wait- start growing your leadership today!
Hi, I’m Connor Baxter. My need to continually grow as a leader is most evident to me as I strive to serve my wife, Ally, and our four kiddos every day. Thankfully, they are patient with me and love me unconditionally!
My passion for leadership emerged early in life. I grew up with two amazing parents, who also happened to be exceptional entrepreneurs and leaders themselves. In fact, my dad has had his own leadership coaching company for 20 years (check out more at leadselfleadothers.com). My brother and I were his guinea pigs for his leadership coaching, so I like to take at least some credit for his incredible success in the leadership industry.
During college, I gained valuable insights into leadership through just one year of wrestling at Oklahoma State. I was exposed to athletes and coaches who were literally the best in the world at what they did and learned how to transfer that success to others. Additionally, I had the joy of starting and leading a college organization where we witnessed hundreds of college students make radical changes in their lives.
I later pursued full-time ministry and continue to do so to this day. For me, leadership has always been about helping others succeed. I still find that to be the most enjoyable part of leadership- watching others WIN and knowing I played a small part in it.
I know first hand the burdens of leadership because I'm not just a professor of leadership; I'm a practitioner. I currently serve as the lead pastor at Onward Community Church in Frisco, Texas. This day-in and day-out leadership allows me to experience both the joys and pains of leadership and empathize with other leaders. All of this strengthens my resolve to champion and coach leaders!
