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 arenโ€™t simply walls. Theyโ€™re protection. They protect you. They protect the other person. They protect whatโ€™s most important. And, you canโ€™t set boundaries well if you donโ€™t know what youโ€™re protecting in the first place. That takes clarity. โ€ข What do you need to protect? โ€ข Why does it matter? โ€ข 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 youโ€™re meant to be doing. If youโ€™re a leader and youโ€™re not spending time on these energy-giving activities, youโ€™re running the risk of burnout. And youโ€™re likely not…

Grateful to do this work. Seeing empowered leaders step into confidence and alignment, and watching their teams thrive too. โ€ข Clarity. โ€ข Growth. โ€ข Aligned decisions. Thatโ€™s what happens when leaders uncover their Blueprint and lean into it.

16 years ago, Coldplay canceled a show in Tampa. I and some friends had the tickets and hotel booked. Didn’t happen. I told myself one day Iโ€™d see them live in London. Last week, that vision became reality at Wembley Stadium with my family by my side. It may sound like a small thing. But…

Leaders, we all have triggers. A teammate walks into the room. Your chest tightens. Your vision narrows. And before you know it, youโ€™re reacting. Those automatic responses exist for a reason. But if youโ€™re not aware of them, they can derail you. Thatโ€™s where self-awareness changes everything. Noticing the trigger. Pausing before the reaction. Choosing…

Ever find yourself saying: โ€œI know the plan says do this, but itโ€™s just not working for me.โ€ That inconsistency is usually a signal. The problem isnโ€™t discipline. Itโ€™s alignment. Maybe the plan goes against one of your core values. Maybe it was built for a previous version of you. Maybe it simply doesnโ€™t fit…

Self-clarity in leadership isnโ€™t just a nice-to-have. Itโ€™s what allows leaders to respond with emotional intelligence, especially when the pressureโ€™s on.

At some point, youโ€™ll feel it: The desire to escape the golden path fallacy. The path thatโ€™s calling you isnโ€™t the one everyone else is taking. And it takes courage to listen to that calling. Not to impress. Not to conform. But to follow the work youโ€™re meant to do. The life you’re meant to…

ย  ย  ย โ€œBrandon (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. โ€

โ€œBrandon 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.โ€

โ€œI'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.โ€

โ€œBrandon 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. โ€

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!โ€
