Four Core Values of a NEXTPERT

Over the course of the last three years I have been fortunate to have a pair of great mentors that strongly influenced the NEXTPERT Concept. Dr. Colby Jubenville and Coach Micheal Burt have opened many doors for me during this time and have emphasized that, "Everybody Needs a Coach in Life." 

We all need mentors that help push us past our ceilings of complexities that we could not break through on our own. These people help elevate us to higher levels in life. Along with mentors we need a set of core values to live by. I encourage you today to both establish mentors in your life and to give some hard thought about your personal philosophies. Discover, Develop & Decide to Live your core values daily. What do you hold true to your heart? Here are the four core values of the NEXTPERT concept that I try to live from.

Four Core Values of a NEXTPERT:

• Visioneering a Positive Mindset: A positive mindset coupled with a laser focus has resulted in me being on track to finish my Ph.D. and to continue growing the NEXTPERT message. Create your dominant focus and build in daily tracking methods to keep you on pace for your desired results. 
• Emotional Intelligence: Along the way I have taken risks, been met with resistance from others, and admittedly struggled to balance all the other tasks and responsibilities that are expected from me. But I have grown in one key area---emotional intelligence (EQ). EQ is the #1 indicator for success. NOT IQ! Do not be afraid to take risks, be confident & self-reliant. 
• Personal Branding: I figured out how to stand out from the many other young professionals and established my own authentic identity, while building and leveraging networks around me. We have resources like never before. Use them to build a personal brand and to deliver your unique story through consistency both personally and professionally.
• Leadership: I now take great pleasure sharing unique experiences with anyone that seeks to learn about them. I define leadership as, “Finding your authentic voice through unique experiences and positively influencing others to find theirs.” With personal success comes confidence to be able to effectively articulate a message with others. Continue to grow your own knowledge and skills and help others during the most challenging times ever for young professionals. 

I enjoy sharing these concepts and helping others advance confidently in the direction of their own dreams just as I am doing now through the NEXTPERT concept(s). By living these four core values daily I have helped others prepare for what experts call the "Leadership Succession Crisis." This is not a crisis for the NEXT Generation. In fact, it is tremendous opportunity. Over the next 3-5 years it is estimated that 50% of upper-level management positions will be replaced and over the next 10 years 33% of workers will be retired from the workplace. Get in the game today and are be prepared to take over as the "BEST of the NEXT."
