The Art & Science of Performance
In this week’s episode, Todd sits down with Donnie Tuttle—founder of the School of Professional Design, international keynote speaker, and author of Sell Anywhere: Live Your Adventure While Crushing Sales. Known as the “coach of coaches,” Donnie has empowered leaders and teams across the globe to unlock their unique strengths and reach peak performance.
🔑 Bringing Out the Best in Your Team
1. Redefine Performance
- Performance isn’t pretending—it’s about bringing things to completion.
- 👉 Ask yourself: What unfinished work can I bring to completion this week?
2. Lead with Love & Generosity
- True leadership isn’t about getting—it’s about giving first.
- 👉 Identify one team member and look for a way to add unexpected value today.
3. Help People Discover Their Gifts & Desires
- Great leaders call out the unique design and dreams in others.
- 👉 Schedule a one-on-one and ask: What do you want to achieve in the next 5 years? How can I help you get there?
4. Beat Procrastination with Purpose & Action
- Procrastination fades when people have a clear purpose and the skills to act.
- 👉 Break one avoided task into 3 small steps—then take the first step today.
5. Empowerment Unlocks Performance
- Disempowered people feel “less than.” Empowerment creates ownership and growth.
- 👉 Instead of giving answers, ask: What do you think? How would you handle this?
6. Align Mission & Co-Mission
- Performance accelerates when personal mission aligns with the company’s mission.
- 👉 Invite your team to write a short mission statement and explore where it overlaps with the company’s vision.
