Crush Your Career in 2021: Planning a strong recovery

Season 1

Episode #122 // As much as I think any day is a good day to rethink what we’re doing in our lives and careers, a milestone like the new year typically prompts us to reflect a bit more deeply.


2020 was a pretty tough year for many of us. This time last year, when we released the Crush Your Career challenge, we had no idea what twists and turns the world was about to take!


Having said that, if you did manage to complete the challenge last year, I’m sure it massively helped you to navigate through all the difficulties that were thrown up at you.


So, just as we did last year, we’re re-releasing the Crush Your Career challenge to help you set up for whatever 2021 may bring… enjoy!

  • 335. Is the MBA Dead? Listen to this before dropping $100k

    25:39||Season 1, Ep. 335
    Episode #335 // If you’re considering the possibility of studying an MBA – or even if you have an MBA and want to work out how to maximize its value – this episode is your ultimate guide. We’ve developed a structured framework to guide your decision-making process, and determine whether it’s worth investing the time, money, and energy into pursuing an MBA.For many decades, the MBA has been the business leader’s qualification of choice. Things may be changing, though. These days, the knowledge that an MBA would impart is readily available in the public domain, and it has the added advantage that you can consume it when you need to apply it…  If your objective is to maximize the ROI of your career development efforts (as it should be for any sound business decision), you’ll find this framework invaluable.DOWNLOAD THE FREE 7-POINT ROI ASSESSMENT FOR AN MBA HERE----------------🚨 Leadership Beyond the Theory is open - but not for long! 🚨Get the leadership skills that drive real results.Enrol before doors close mid-February! 👉 Learn more here.----------------You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

  • 334. The Perfect Ending for a 1:1 Meeting (Clarity is everything)

    19:07||Season 1, Ep. 334
    Episode #334 // Performance management gets a bad rap these days. There’s a school of thought that formal performance management processes do more harm than good. And in the hands of an inept leader working in a poor culture, that’s probably true. But I’m a huge believer in the power of 1:1 meetings and, even though formal performance meetings are just one example, some leaders use the trend against performance management as an excuse for not conducting 1:1 meetings at all. There’s a host of compelling reasons for stepping up your game on 1:1 meetings, and today I look at some of these in detail. In this episode, I help you to sharpen your focus by defining the primary objective of a performance discussion. And, the big bonus: I give you a practical technique for closing your 1:1 meetings that will radically improve your chances of the individual delivering on their commitments.————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally. 
  • Moment #104: Team Morale Is Elusive

    04:39|
    Moment #104 // Conventional wisdom tells us that “happy workers are productive workers”... but short-term, sugar-hits of happiness don’t lead to high performance!Team morale is elusive, and you don’t build it by being overly protective, or by mollycoddling your people. You build it by giving them an environment where they’re expected to stretch, grow, and achieve.This builds individual self esteem, and genuine long-term satisfaction… it’s also the foundation of high team morale and superior performance.If you want to go deeper on how to really lift your team culture, have a listen to Ep.281 Building Team Morale.————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

    Episode #333 // For the last four years, we’ve run the Crush Your Career Challenge with thousands of ambitious leaders, who’ve not only set bold career goals but actually achieved them. The challenge isn’t just about planning, it’s about results.This year, we’re taking it to a whole new level. You’ll be joining over 1,000 other No Bullsh!t Leaders, all working towards their goals alongside me and Em, inside The No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub. Imagine the energy, the momentum, and the massive accountability boost from being part of a group like this!Now, let me ask you this: How are those New Year’s resolutions you set a few weeks ago going? Be honest, are they still on track, or have they started to lose steam?Here’s what I know to be true: resolutions fail because they’re usually reactive. They focus on fixing what’s broken instead of building something extraordinary. That’s where the Crush Your Career Challenge comes in.This isn’t about vague promises or fleeting motivation. This is about setting clear, actionable goals and doing the work to make them happen, all while being surrounded by a global community of like-minded leaders who are doing the same.Join the challenge now at www.yourceomentor.com/cyc and let’s do this together! ————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

  • 332. The 5-Step Formula for Regaining Control of Your Week

    16:10||Season 1, Ep. 332
    Episode #332 // Many leaders struggle every day with oppressive workloads and long hours. We all have busy periods – it comes with the territory – but if this pattern persists for more than a few months, that’s not just a busy period… that’s the way you live!To regain control of your time, you need to fundamentally shift the way you think about your leadership role. Over the course of many years, I was able to develop what eventually became my No Bullsh!t Leader’s Time Mastery System. Long before it had the catchy name, I used these principles to make sure I was being as effective as I could possibly be… to lead my team to achieve the best possible results… and still make it home every night in time to eat dinner with my family!In this episode, I lay out the principles behind this powerful system. In only 15 minutes, you’ll know everything you need to in order to get control of your calendar, and reclaim at least three hours in your week.DOWNLOAD THE FREE NO BULLSH!T LEADER'S TIME MASTERY SYSTEM HERE ————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

    Moment #102 // You may think that the most certain way to build job security is to make yourself indispensable – but you would probably be wrong!Indispensability isn’t good if it’s based on hoarding specialist knowledge – that will just make you a key risk to your team.Your value comes from building team capability, not from holding your team back by using your knowledge as a weapon.If you want to go deeper on how to balance your existing knowledge with your willingness to grow, have a listen to Ep.297 Making Yourself Indispensable.————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

    Episode #331 // Today’s episode is a bit of fun! As I like to do each year, I take a look at what’s likely to be ahead for economies, businesses, and leaders in 2025. I’ve done the research so that you don’t have to!To put this episode together, I’ve drawn on highly reputable information sources – The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, The McKinsey Quarterly, The Atlantic, Harvard Business Review and of course, the most reliable website in the world, Wikipedia 😂Taking a composite of information from these publications, and coloring it with ideas from the many podcasts I listen to each week, I’ve put together some predictions for 2025. They may not all come true, but they’re all interesting scenarios that are worth contemplating! ————————Get the insider edge with the No Bullsh!t Leadership Hub on Skool - completely FREE!Join like-minded leaders who love the podcast and dive into exclusive resources, real conversations, and weekly challenges designed to sharpen your leadership game.Don’t miss out, join now!————————You can connect with me at:Website: https://www.yourceomentor.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourceomentorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/yourceomentorLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-moore-075b001/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@YourCEOMentor————————Our mission here at Your CEO Mentor is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.
