How to Get There From Here

Dear Colleague,

There’s little doubt that we are managing against some pretty stiff winds these days. Perhaps you've even considered throwing up your hands and giving in to all of these 'unmanageable' forces swirling about.

If so, you’ve come to the right place. My name is Bob Preziosi (‘Dr. Bob’) and for more than 25 years – during all types of economic cycles, I have personally helped thousands of leaders (both accomplished and aspiring ones) channel their ambition and energy into moving people toward positive actions that yield bottom line results. Imagine – you could literally change your employees' lives and your own prospects for years to come!

Let me explain.

I love to help people! As a teacher, I really can’t help myself . I draw genuine pleasure from helping others achieve success and fulfill their dreams...so much so that I have quite literally committed most of my life to helping others do just that. And I’ve been this way for as long as I can remember – which is why you’ll see vignettes from my childhood peppered throughout The Leadership Road.

Here’s another little secret: Although I happen to have one, you don’t need a post-graduate degree to become a great leader! But you knew that already. What you do need, however, is a basic understanding of yourself and of human behavior in general, as well as some properly-conceived, time-tested and proven techniques that you can choose from, develop and leverage to help you find your true leadership style. Why is that important? Well, your leadership style (and really, leadership in general) is not an esoteric, theoretic or academic concept. It permeates your day-to-day life, influences the hundreds of decisions you make and will continue to make in your life and can be a very powerful tool – for better or worse. Finding and living your ‘true’ leadership style will help you persuade, motivate, influence and otherwise move yourself and others toward what I trust will be positive action.

And now for my legal Disclaimer: I know that there are a whole lot of motivational and self-help gurus out there – on and off line – purporting to have some system or another to easily turn failures into overnight successes. Road references notwithstanding, I am not one of them! What I am is a life-long student and teacher, of life – and what you will find on my site and in my books or at one of my classes are invaluable tools (proven and tested by others and by me) and practical, no-nonsense advice on how to overcome resistance to achieve more and more effective results. And you’ll get all this sans the popular hyperbole, ‘psychobabble’ and ‘academic gobbledygook (that’s an industry term, by the way’ that typically peppers the coaching industry.

Having said all that – I’m also charming, charismatic and fun to work with. I could have you ask my wife Kitty ‘bout that, but I’d rather you determine it for yourself. So, within this site lie some of the ‘gems’ I’ve learned about how regular people like you and me become good leaders and how good leaders become great ones. (Hint: they all help other people around them become better people!)

By the way, all of this information is obviously available to you for FREE, with one catch (c’mon now, you knew there’d be at least one). I want you to be successful on your terms so if after you’ve listened to one of my webinars or read one of my articles or bought one of my books, you find that you want to get some personal advice and insight into your situation, call or email me, because I’d like to help you. What I most definitely don’t want is for you to read through my books or listen in on a webinar, nod your head in agreement with some of my ideas and then go about your life. All the knowledge in the world is useless if you don’t actually act on it. So, call or email me – I don’t bite - I’m part advocate, part drill sergeant (which my wife Kitty will confirm) and you can pick my brain. For free.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warmly,
Bob Preziosi
