Leading people is the most important responsibility in the world, yet, alarmingly, 60% of first-time leaders fail.

With over 4 decades of experience in leader development and culture improvement, I created this podcast to help you solve 3 critical and costly people problems:

1. Endangered People Skills: The Communication Paradox

2. Peer to Leader, Now What?

3. Sunday Feelings About Monday Mornings

If you’re a first-time leader, someone who hires or promotes first-time leaders or a solopreneur building your first team, this is your podcast.

I’m Timothy Dean Smith, your host & coach.

Monthly, from January through July, I’ll offer you concise, practical solutions you can apply immediately and benefit from for a lifetime.

If you find my solutions valuable, share this podcast with your collages, wherever they listen to podcasts.

Leading people is the most important responsibility in the world and I’m here to ensure your leadership matters.

Thank you for listening to the

First-Time Leaders Accelerated℠ Podcast.

Take care.
