What You Must Do…
This weekend, Team KMMA and I are away on business training in Colorado.
We regularly train our martial arts, leadership, business and other essential skills for success.
That’s because this is how one gets and maintains it.
People are often confused in this area; they think you can learn something one and have it forever.
That’s not true, and why personal and professional development need to happen regularly and consistently for teams that what to be their very best.
The same is true with martial arts skill by the way, which is why the Blackbelt is only the beginning.
One of the things I really LOVE about our Blackbelt Leadership Academy is that we train our students in all of it.
It’s why we have so many professionals in our tribe; in addition to the great physical training, self defense skills and the power, energy and empowerment of the tribe, they love the leadership development skills and say it helps them at work as well.
Parents love seeing their kids learn leadership, communication, teamwork and public speaking skills, in addition to the physical training and other character development.
What do you do for your own personal and professional development?
I’d love to hear.
And if we can help you, please call Sensei Allie for the Lutz/Land O Lakes Academy or Sensei James for the Port Richey.
You can reach either of them at 813-948-4844 and they’ll be honored to help you get started.
Prepare To Live; Empower To Lead!
