As a driven professional, manager, or aspiring executive, you know deep down that true leadership isn't about titles or tactics—it's about authenticity, courage, and real-world impact. You've got the ambition to inspire teams, turn around challenges, and make decisions that matter. But in the daily grind, it's easy to feel stuck: overwhelmed by self-doubt, unclear on how to build genuine connections, or frustrated by leadership advice that feels generic and out of touch.
You're not alone. Many leaders—from blue-collar roots to boardrooms—face the same hurdles: How do you lead without losing yourself? How do you foster trust in high-stakes environments? How do you turn personal stories into powerful tools for growth?
That's where I come in. I'm Jim Lord, a leadership expert with over 30 years of hands-on experience transforming underperforming teams at global giants, and Fortune 100 Companies. From my humble beginnings in a working-class family to becoming President of ADP Canada, I've lived the journey of authentic leadership. My book, "Don't Wait, Lead Now," shares raw, relatable stories and practical insights that have helped thousands—from executives to parents and coaches—step up and lead now. (my posts are my own and not necessarily the views of any employer, past or current)
I've mentored leaders through volunteer work with organizations like the Fresh Air Fund and ACP AdvisorNet, and my advice has earned 5-star reviews on Amazon for its honesty and applicability. I'm not just another guru—I'm your empathetic guide who's been in the trenches and come out stronger.
