Earlier this month I posted about having the wrong players on the court. Your starting lineup is built for basketball, and you’re standing in a baseball game. This is the other half of that conversation. A leader I was working with saw it for the first time. Which parts of them this arena was actually…

A leader asked me recently how I help people escape the Golden Path Fallacy. The people I’m thinking of are successful. They’ve hit every wicket, taken the next job and the next promotion, most of it on good advice from people who meant well. And then one day they look up and something feels a…

Did the Navy mess up when they selected me to be a commanding officer? That was a real question for me before I took command. I’m hearing a version of it from leaders I work with stepping into bigger roles. They earned the promotion, and they know it. Then they’re in meetings with new peers…

Effective leadership isn’t about managing every step of the process: it’s about setting clear expectations and trusting your team to execute. When leaders establish clear boundaries, provide the necessary guidance, training, and mentorship, and then step back, it creates space for real ownership and growth. Step-by-step hand-holding limits your team’s capability and quickly becomes an…

I keep coming back to this idea. That if my purpose is only the next win, then I’m basically signing myself up to need another one as soon as this one is done. Another deal. Another project. Another client. Another thing to chase. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to win. I just think it gets…

How a leader handles things not going to plan is mostly set before anything goes wrong. It’s the mindset they walked in with. “𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵” is one mindset. When it goes off-plan, that’s a tough blow to recover from. Here’s a different mindset. “𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦…

As long as things are working, it is easy to stay in “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it” mode. And sometimes that makes sense. What happens when the environment changes faster than your current way of operating can keep up? AI is an obvious example right now. A lot has changed in the last…

One of the hard parts of stepping into something new is how quickly it can start to feel like it all rests on you. Like you’re supposed to have all the answers. Like you’re supposed to get it right the first time. Like needing help somehow means you’re not ready. I don’t think that’s true….

“Brandon (Jenkins) is awesome! His knowledge is thorough, he patiently explained the detailed workings of the product we were interested in buying, and he's shown himself to be trustworthy and attentive, with excellent follow-through and follow-up. I've already recommended him to several friends, and will continue to do so. ”

“Brandon Jenkins is a fantastic guy to have on our team! I always have 800 questions every time I talk with him, but he patiently answers. We've worked with Brandon on a couple of different policies. He's not only knowledgable, sets us up with exactly what we need, but he's also a great resource... he's shared his network and other related knowledge. Our lives are definitely better for knowing and working with Brandon.”

“I'm a life insurance agent myself and have been for several years, but when it comes to working with the specialized policies and the Infinite Banking Concept I couldn't have found a more knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly advisor than Brandon at Tier One. Not only that but he is also extremely organized and on the ball. He gets back to you with well crafted and thoughtful answers to all questions and concerns. Truly a top notch professional in this industry. I look forward to working with him for years to come.”

“Brandon Jenkins is exactly the kind of person you'd want to help you with important life decisions. Brandon listened to my goals, and over the course of several in-depth conversations, helped me determine the best solution to help me achieve those goals. He didn't try to sell me or convince me of anything; Brandon operated solely based on my equities, and then guided me toward a range of solutions. I made my choices based on Brandon's informed and expert guidance, and couldn't be more satisfied. Bandon was the guy who enabled me to achieve peace of mind concerning how my family would be taken care of. ”

“My overall experience with Brandon Jenkins has been nothing short of amazing. Brandon has been consistently pleasant to interact with and extremely knowledgeable. Anytime I've ever asked him a question, he quickly gets back to me with a response. He also takes his time to respond to all my questions and is extremely detailed. The best decision that me and my wife made was to select Brandon as our advisor. Through our interactions with his services, we feel so much more secure financially. Really happy to have you on our team Brandon, we really appreciate it!”
