Lead in 3D:
A Smarter Way to Lead
Leadership isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing the right things, in the right way, for the right reasons.
The Lead in 3D approach helps leaders align their efforts across three dimensions: ME (personal wellbeing), WE (team and organizational performance), and WORLD (broader impact). By integrating these dimensions, leaders unlock sustainable success—where high performance doesn’t come at the cost of health, relationships, or purpose. Instead, they gain clarity, efficiency, and the power to create lasting, meaningful change.
The win-win-wins of Leading in 3D free us from working harder. When we see leadership—and success—in three dimensions, we do more good, without doing more.
The 6 Spheres of Impact:
Leverage Your Leadership Investments
Every choice a leader makes has ripple effects. The way we invest our time, attention, and energy have an impact, whether we think about it or not. The 6 Spheres of Impact framework helps leaders recognize their full potential for impact, ensuring they make investments that serve both immediate needs and long-term goals.
These six spheres—Self, Family and Friends, Job, Workplace, Money, and Community—offer a roadmap for maximizing impact while staying aligned with values. When leaders take responsibility for their full sphere of influence, they unlock new levels of innovation, collaboration, and purpose-driven success.
Win-Win-Wins:
The Power of Leading in 3D
Too often, leadership is framed as a zero-sum game—where personal success competes with team wellbeing, or profit comes at the expense of purpose. Leading in 3D flips that script, creating win-win-wins:
✔ For YOU – More clarity, energy, and fulfillment
✔ For YOUR TEAM – Stronger collaboration, trust, and performance
✔ For THE WORLD – Greater impact, with integrity and sustainability
By aligning personal success with collective and global impact, 3D leaders make smarter choices—ones that don’t drain resources but create momentum, unlocking results that are sustainable, meaningful, and exponentially more powerful.
