Dr. Stephen G. Payne

Outstanding Leaders Lead Themselves FIRST

The greatest opportunities for growth lie in the minds of leaders and their teams—this is the singular truth that Dr. Stephen Payne brings home to leaders, helping them achieve greater results.

Stephen helps leaders across entire organizations discover how to unblock their self-created limitations to growth. How? By bringing leaders face-to-face with their leadership demons and then, based on their individual strengths, finding practical solutions to slay those demons.

When leaders recognize their shortfalls and how to control them, compensate for them or cast them out, it ignites the flames of growth and confidence. These newly determined leaders go on to accomplish and inspire their teams through the best use of their strengths, clarity, and attitude.

Combining his experience as CEO with 10 years of leadership consulting, Dr. Payne challenges conventional views of leadership with many real world examples of outstanding growth taken from his clients and his own executive experience.

Dr. Payne provides leadership concepts that are crisp and strike completely at what leaders need in order to turn on to growth. He has created a comprehensive yet straightforward and readily doable approach to leadership embodied in his book First Rule of Leadership, and the accompanying audio CD, Total Leadership—The Essentials.

Seminar Topics

Lead Yourself FIRST
It all comes down to this: Leadership is a serious business and what matters first and foremost is how you lead yourself on your inner landscape. Your past, present and future achievements are no more or less than the outward expression of how your leader within operates. This seminar is for senior executives to discover how to:
  • Achieve greater results by discovering more of their own blockages to growth.
  • Use their determination, attitude and strengths to impact growth.
  • Let go of useless attachments to outdated methods and relationships.
  • Attract, recognize and build a team of leaders dedicated to growth.

Leaders leave this seminar with the certain knowledge that performance will improve not by frantically doing more but by discovering more of who they are through what they are doing.
