Reality-Based Leadership

Call Directions Website

Reality-Based Leadership We are the voice that interrupts thinking, reveals the truth and settles the mind. We eliminate drama and restore sanity to the workplace and worldplace.

We translate the best research into Reality-Based Philosophies, tools, and training. Reality-Based Leadership is a revolutionary philosophy developed by Cy Wakeman, an international keynote speaker, business consultant, and New York Times bestselling author. Grounded in reality, Wakeman’s philosophy teaches leaders how to turn excuses into results and transform unhappy employees into accountable, successful members of the workforce. With her 20 years of success working with thousands of organizations, Wakeman has designed multiple sustainability options to help hardwire Reality-Based principles into your workforce and support the message of personal accountability long into the future. So, Cy experimented with a revolutionary new approach to leadership. Instead of working to perfect the circumstances of her employees, she instead helped them learn a reality-based mindset. Through this new mindset, her employees became seemingly immune to anything that might happen to them. They begin to succeed and deliver results in spite of their circumstances.

47 speaking engagements in the next 67 days.

Even cooler than that - we are officially 5 days from the book launch! 5 days! I can’t believe I’m actually saying that.

Had to do a gratitude post as I take all of it in right now. I’m feeling gratitude for all of the leaders that have supported my journey and work over the last 12 years. To my incredible team who has coordinated all these events to make them the most drama-free and impactful they can be.

To my publisher, their team, those supporting the momentum behind the launch - it blows my mind.

Within this dream of the book finally coming out I was able to play out another dream of mind today with an incredible group at Disney. It was a bucket list client and the team couldn’t have been more fun to work with.

As I am looking ahead it all seems so daunting, but I keep reminding myself of a combination of advice I’ve heard from many leaders in my life or somewhere online - “remember once, you dreamed of what you had now.” I always thought that was cheesy, but I’m really feeling that this week as we approach the launch.

Thank you for everyone who has jumped in to pre-order the book for you and your teams and for these amazing events coming up where we get to celebrate and dive into the book.

A workplace beyond drama is possible and I’m dedicated to help you experience how.

Put in the work, put in the time.

(Drama-free of course…)
