Reality-Based Leadership

Reality-Based Leadership

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 people how to:

  • Turn excuses into results
  • Transform unhappy employees into accountable, successful members of the workforce

With over 20 years of working with thousands of companies, Reality-Based Leadership has multiple sustainability options to help hardwire Reality-Based principles into your workforce and support the message of personal accountability long into the future. Reality-Based Leadership is a revolutionary new approach to leadership.

Instead of working to perfect the circumstances of employees, you’ll discover practical tools and techniques to reveal a reality-based mindset. Through this new mindset, you’ll gain simple ways to call your teams to greatness, keeping them ready for business challenges now and into the future. They begin to succeed and deliver results in spite of their circumstances.
