Reality-Based Leadership

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.

Sometimes you don’t know what you just pulled off, until you have time to sit down and take it all in.

The last 2 days of recording the How We Could audiobook has reinforced that we’re on to something special for leaders everywhere.

This book will shape the future of leadership and what it means to truly care about people reaching their full potential - not only at work, but ultimately at home and in their communities.

Reading back through over the last 2 days and revisiting the case studies from so many of my clients doing incredibly hard work and seeing how the tools and framework in the book helped unlock teams who were stuck in some of the toughest drama to achieve breakthrough results has created feelings during this audiobook recording process that I can’t quite describe yet.

Reliving those examples through the book has sparked so many flashbacks to incredible workshops and memories and now knowing these breakthroughs and insights are going to be shared with all of you to help your teams get past the same barriers, feels indescribable.

I have one more day left of recording, and I’m sitting with this feeling. I couldn’t be more proud and more excited and honestly beyond grateful for all of you who have preordered and trusted in the vision of this book, in scheduling up workshops and keynotes around it during launch time, and bringing this new work to your teams.

I look forward to whoever else jumps in to pre-order and participate in the awesome book club discussion guides that come with ordering as we enter our last month before the launch date on Sept 22nd!

This book gives you all you need to lead without drama for good. I just can’t wait for everyone to have this resource and the tools in it.

There’s a lot of work to do out there to keep building drama-free workplaces, and I look forward to leading the charge to help do so.

Let’s have some fun with it. Let’s keep loving people up and most importantly, let’s keep calling people up to greatness.
