At iPriority we are developing leaders from the inside out. And we are doing so by cultivating a different kind of leadership, personal leadership. In the most basic terms, we provide resources and tools to help you successfully balance your time, relationships, and work by developing an integrated life and worldview. We’re a professional community actively working on integrating our professional, personal and spiritual lives. At iPriority we believe true success is a process of integration. Personal leadership develops from the inside out. At the core of all we do is our value system, what some call our “center” or “true north”. And we know it takes courage to dig for answers and really get to know ourselves. That’s what seeing with a new “i” is all about. Looking yourself right in the “i” without flinching. It’s about searching for the truth beyond the hype. Getting a new perspective. Finding your “true north”. We’re asking top leaders and friends to reveal what they see about themselves. They share their journey, with all its joy and passion and warts and stress and the risks that they have faced. They talk candidly about what honesty, integrity and character mean to them. About what makes them tick, what it is like to live with a strong value system, how they found their “true north”, and how they integrate these values into their whole lives.

Too few people do it very well and there’s nothing worse than being in conversation with someone that listens in a superficial manner. It was just […]

by Carl Watson What truly defines leadership? Is it the mundane organization of people and resources to reach some goal? Or is it the ability to elicit zeal and dedicated passion to some envisioned future? Both are probably important to the reality and myth of leadership.

I mean, have you ever met a happy pessimist? Of course not. In short, our optimism or pessimism is this: The way we interpret the past The way we […]

by Lou Stoops Big things often begin small. People often ask me how to become a writer, or how to become a speaker, or how to become an actor. My answer is always the same: write, speak, act. When I give these answers, they often just stare at me with eyes that betray their disappointment. […]
