Empathy isn’t about being nice. It’s knowing your teammate well enough to understand what they might be feeling in the moment, not how you’d feel in their place. That insight doesn’t replace candor. It sharpens it. It helps you deliver the feedback they need in a way they can actually use. That’s the kind of…

Alignment doesn’t come from telling people what to care about. It comes from helping them connect what they already care about to the mission. Here’s something we do with each ready room in LRR: (🎥 Check out the clip: https://lnkd.in/eiMC8CwR) Ask your team to reflect: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘸𝘦…

Leaders talk a lot about giving feedback. But how often are you getting it? The higher you climb, the harder it becomes to receive honest input. People hesitate. They soften the truth. That’s why, as Tom Murray shared during our recent Leadership Ready Room Chats, sometimes you have to fight for feedback. He literally scheduled…

There’s a moment when achievement stops being enough. Years ago, my commanding officer asked me a simple question: “Why do you want to be a commanding officer?” I paused for a bit then said, “Because it’s the next step.” That’s when he said something that stuck with me, not word for word, but the message…

You don’t always have to be in “go mode” to make progress. Took a mid-afternoon walk down to the beach to recharge a bit yesterday. No agenda. No headphones. Just fresh air, sunshine, and space to breathe. I call this “receive mode.” It’s the opposite of “go mode.” It’s when I stop thinking about the…

Tough times reveal your default mode. Do you get anxious? Withdraw? Overreact? I learned that without self-awareness, those automatic reactions run the show. Working with a coach helped me understand my values, strengths, and tendencies, and just as importantly, where I might get in my own way. That awareness enabled me to pause before reacting….

Boundaries aren’t simply walls. They’re protection. They protect you. They protect the other person. They protect what’s most important. And, you can’t set boundaries well if you don’t know what you’re protecting in the first place. That takes clarity. • What do you need to protect? • Why does it matter? • What do you…

How much of your week is spent on things that actually energize you? Not the things someone else told you should care about. The things you know you’re meant to be doing. If you’re a leader and you’re not spending time on these energy-giving activities, you’re running the risk of burnout. And you’re likely not…

Grateful to do this work. Seeing empowered leaders step into confidence and alignment, and watching their teams thrive too. • Clarity. • Growth. • Aligned decisions. That’s what happens when leaders uncover their Blueprint and lean into it. One client put it this way: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺… 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘐…

     “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.”

Marc Wheeler

“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!”
