In addition to BOS Performance, his coaching & consultancy, Brian OliverSmith is the founder and creator of the CEO Performance Network, a network of early stage, high performing CEOs, by invitation only. CEO Performance Network follows the philosophy that consistently upskilling CEO skillsets drives company growth and performance. We do this by upskilling the CEO skills of Executive Function, (Decision Making, Delegating, planning and more), the Performance Skills (between the ears of attitude, Emotional Intelligence, focus, etc.,) and the Network skills of communication, vision, alignment, pitching, video presentation, and more. All CEO's have a dominant skill set area and one that is more challenged. Brian is also the author of the new, fast growing Self-Leadership book, Finding Your V.O.I.C.E. Self Leadership for the New World of Work. The book explores how, in today's environment we have more technology, tools, and opportunities for freedom than ever before but that freedom comes with the need for intense and immense self-leadership. Gone are the days when you can count on your company to provide the right leadership development at the right time and Finding Your V.O.I.C.E. lays the foundation for a lifetime of leadership and fast growth in development. The book was influenced by Brian's work with Stephen Covey (7 Habits), Daniel Goleman (EQ), his training with CTI an over 23 years coaching top CEOs as well as building numerous companies that scaled globally and teams that won numerous awards. V.O.I.C.E. is an acronym for Values, (know thyself), Opportunities, Inspiration, Chiaroscuro (balance) and Engagement. Together we use them all and, thus, cause our companies and ourselves to grow!
