Introducing the Zeal Engagement Framework (ZEF)
A Revolutionary Approach to Digital Marketing and Leadership Development
In the pursuit of peak performance, particularly for those managing ADHD, consistency and structure are vital. As a leader, I've learned the importance of transforming change into an opportunity for team unity. This principle has been a cornerstone of my approach, influenced significantly by Donald Miller's marketing insights in "Building a StoryBrand."
More specifically, by applying Miller's "villain philosophy" in leadership, I've found powerful marketing opportunities. Framing change as the villain enables leaders to create a narrative that brings clarity, empowers teams, drives innovation, resonates with customers, and builds trust. This approach has helped me turn the challenges of change into sources of strength and competitive advantage, not just in my current endeavors but throughout my diverse career.
Throughout my career, from the military and federal government to Big Corporations, and now in my own business, these principles have been the bedrock of my approach. In the military, this framework helped me to effectively lead and execute missions. In the federal government, it guided me in navigating complex bureaucracies. Within Fortune 500 companies, these strategies provided a roadmap for managing large-scale projects and teams. And now, with Zeal Consulting, I am applying these same principles to help other businesses achieve their goals, through the Zeal Engagement Model.
The Zeal Engagement Framework (ZEF), developed by Zeal Consulting LLC, is an embodiment of these principles. ZEF is a unique blend of digital marketing and leadership development strategies, designed to empower, engage, and elevate business leaders.
