🔭 Former Corporate Exec | 🌱 Entrepreneur | 💡 Founder | 📚 Lifelong Learner

After 22 years of corporate life and reaching the pinnacle, I stepped off the high-wire to begin a new chapter.

Trading the executive suite of a $4B global powerhouse for the excitement of entrepreneurship, I'm now spreading knowledge, innovation, and transformation.

Through 5 major career transitions, I evolved from a VP of Marketing & Sales to Division President, and ultimately, CIO.

But behind every business transaction, there's a face. I firmly believe that people are the heart and soul of any endeavor. I owe my success to the great teams I've been a part of and the wise mentors who guided me. My advice for aspiring leaders:

Be bold.
Be curious.
Be authentic.
Be respectful.
Be transparent.
Be growth-minded.
And success will follow.

Today, as an entrepreneur, I've swapped corporate structure for startup passion, partnering with my wife as co-owners of a holding company, founding multiple business ventures, crafting 3 new brands, consulting growing companies, and extending my love of mentoring into coaching.

In between, you’ll find me nurturing my four personal passions: learning, writing, traveling, and gardening. They keep me rooted and help me grow. After all, isn't life one big, beautiful garden? Here’s to growing together! 🌱

Justin Wright

I've seen "leaders" throw their team under the bus.

In front of coworkers.
In front of clients.
Without hesitation.

It made me realize something powerful:

If you don't defend your people,
you don't belong in leadership.

Period.

True leaders know:

➟ Your team's success is your success
➟ Their growth and achievements are your legacy
➟ Their trust is what makes you a leader, not your title

What does it mean to defend your team?

It's not about making excuses
or lowering your standards.

It's about:

✅ Fighting for their growth
✅ Protecting them from burnout
✅ Shielding them from toxic politics
✅ Offering support without micromanaging
✅ Being their voice when they're not in the room

The best leader I ever had taught me this.

When our team made mistakes, she'd say:
"That's on me. We'll fix it."

When we succeeded?
"My team did all the work. I just cleared the path."

She held us to high standards.
Gave tough feedback when needed.
But always had our backs.

Know what happened?

We gave everything for that team.
Grew faster than ever.
Achieved things we never thought possible.

Because we knew she'd be there.
Supporting. Defending. Believing.

Remember:

Anyone can manage tasks.
Real leaders develop people.
And you can't develop what you don't defend.

So choose wisely.
Your team is watching.
And they'll never forget.

Most people think they’re great listeners.
But they’re stuck at level 2.

They nod.
They make eye contact.
They wait for their turn to speak.

But they’re not really hearing you.

The difference between good leaders and great ones?

They’ve mastered the art of real listening.

Because if you can’t listen, you can’t lead.

You miss what your team isn’t saying.
You miss what your clients really need.
You miss the chance to build trust (before you need it).

Great listening isn’t passive.
It’s not about being quiet.
It’s a skill.

And most people are at the bottom of the scale.

Here are the 5 levels of listening:

1/ Waiting to talk

You’re quiet, but only because you’re thinking about what to say next.

2/ Hearing the words

You catch some of it, but your attention drifts.

3/ Understanding the message

You’re focused. You listen to understand, not just to reply.

4/ Recognizing emotions

You show empathy. You sense how they feel, not just what they say.

5/ Hearing what’s unsaid

You're fully present. You pick up on tone, hesitation, and the hidden needs beneath the words.

Leaders who reach level 5?

They build trust faster.
They strengthen relationships.
They make people feel seen and safe.
They diffuse tension before it explodes.

You don’t need to talk more to lead better.

You need to listen deeper.

Which level are you leading from?

Even loyal people have breaking points.

They don't quit in a day.

They leave after being pushed too far, too often.

Loyalty isn't endless. It's earned daily.

Watch for warning signs like these:

The once-vocal team member who stops speaking up
The advocate who no longer defends the company
The eager volunteer who stops raising their hand
The team player who suddenly works alone

By the time they hand in their notice,
they checked out long ago.

The real problem?

Too many bosses take loyalty for granted.

🚫 They push too hard
🚫 They ignore good work
🚫 They promote toxic "performers"

What they don't realize:

✅ Each ignored concern weakens relationships
✅ Each broken promise chips away at loyalty
✅ Each missed "thank you" damages trust

The most dangerous words in leadership:

"They'll never leave. They're too loyal."

Remember this truth:

Everyone has a tipping point where 
self-respect outweighs loyalty.

And once they stop caring, no money
or title will win them back.

Treat loyal people like the gems they are.

Before they decide you don't deserve them.

I used to think top performers had some secret talent.

Now I know it's the simple things.

Anyone can do these.
No degree or title required.
Just choices you make every day.

12 things that require 0 talent:

1. Getting shit done
2. Having integrity
3. Keeping your word
4. Showing up on time
5. Bringing solutions, not problems
6. Bringing good energy
7. Being coachable
8. Cheering for others' wins
9. Making others feel heard
10. Asking how you can help
11. Finishing what you start
12. Staying humble

No special skills needed.
No expensive training.
Just decisions.

The person who shows up on time every day?
They show respect and build trust.

The person who finishes what they start?
They're someone you know you can count on.

Success isn't complicated.

It's doing the simple things most people won't.

P.S. What would you add to the list?

♻️ Repost if this resonates with you. Thanks!

The quietest person on my team changed everything.

She never spoke first. Or second. Or third.

But when she did? The whole team listened.

Her words were few, but they cut through the noise.

She'd wait until the end of meetings, then say:

"Have we considered...?"

And suddenly, our "perfect" plan had holes.

Or she'd ask:

"What if we...?"

And our good idea became great.

She taught me a valuable lesson:

Leadership isn't about being the loudest.

It's about listening to every voice.
And making them count.

As leaders, we need to:

• Create pauses for reflection
• Invite the quiet ones to speak
• Value quality of words over quantity

Because sometimes, the most impactful voice
is the one you almost don't hear.

The next big idea might be hiding behind
a shy smile or a thoughtful silence.

Give it room to emerge.

True wisdom often whispers.

Are you creating space for it to be heard?

I'm thankful for the leaders who gave me
a chance when all I had to offer was a
positive attitude and hunger to learn.

No fancy degree. No impressive resume.

Just potential they chose to see.

They didn't ask me to prove myself first.

They believed in me before I believed in myself.

Those leaders:

• Shared knowledge without making me feel small
• Celebrated my small wins like they were huge
• Let me fail and framed it as learning
• Saw my growth, not just my gaps

They shaped who I am today.

Not because they were perfect.
But because they were present.

They gave me the one thing money can't buy:
A genuine opportunity to grow.

So here's my challenge to you:

Be that leader for someone else.

Give someone a chance who has more
hunger than credentials.

See potential, not just polish.

Open a door that once felt closed to you.

Because the best way to honor the leaders
who believed in you?

Is to become one for someone else.

That's how we all rise together.

P.S. What's one thing a great leader did
that you'll never forget?

It's so important to know when to leave.

The job.
The party.
The relationship.

Most people stay too long in situations that drain them.

They think leaving means giving up.

But sometimes, leaving is the bravest thing you can do.

I learned this the hard way.

I stayed at a toxic job for a year longer than I should have.
Why? Because I thought I could fix it.

I thought if I just...

Stayed later
Worked harder
Proved my worth

...things would change.

They didn't. But I did.

I became anxious. Exhausted. Resentful.

Until one day, I realized:

Staying wasn't loyalty. It was self-sabotage.

The strongest people I know have mastered 1 skill:
They know when to walk away.

It takes emotional intelligence to recognize:

When your values are being compromised
When your energy is being drained
When your growth has stopped
When respect has left the room

And it takes courage to act on that knowledge.

I wish someone had told me sooner:

You don't need a reason to choose yourself.
You don't need permission to protect your peace.
You don't need to stay anywhere that makes you small.

The right people will understand.
The wrong people will try to guilt you into staying.

That's how you know you're making the right choice.

Your EQ isn't just about understanding others.
It's about knowing yourself well enough to honor your needs.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply leave.

And create space for something better.

Promoting a toxic manager is a huge mistake.

(It starts with ignoring bad behavior.)

Toxic managers can ruin your team & culture
long before you see the damage in numbers.

Leaders, do this instead:

💡 Address toxic behavior,
no matter the performance.

Protect your best people and your culture.

This approach will keep your team strong,
and ensure long-term success.

Don't let short-term gains blind you.

Your company’s future depends on it.

P.S. Have you ever seen a toxic person
get promoted just because they
"made their numbers"?

8 phrases you hear in a kind workplace:

1. "How are you really doing?"
And they actually want to know.

2. "Take the time you need."
Life happens. They get it.

3. "I noticed your hard work."
Your effort matters, not just results.

4. "What do you think?"
Your opinion is valued.

5. "That must have been difficult."
They see your struggles.

6. "I've got your back."
And they mean it.

7. "Let me help you with that."
Without you having to ask.

8. "We'll figure it out together."
No blame. Just solutions.

These phrases build cultures where people:

Want to show up
Do their best work
Support each other
Feel safe to speak up

Kindness isn't soft.

It's what makes people stay
It's what makes teams strong
It's what makes work worth it

Words matter.

They either build people up
or tear them down.

Choose wisely.

Positions are temporary.
Ranks and titles are limited.
But how you treat people will
always be remembered.

Want to leave a lasting impact?

Lead with generosity.
Serve with humility.
Act with integrity.

And treat everyone with kindness.

These are the true measures of success.
Not cars, clothes, cash or clout.

Your degrees may impress for a moment.
But your character defines your legacy.

Make people feel:
➟ Valued, not used
➟ Respected, not judged
➟ Cared for, not dismissed
➟ Understood, not ignored 

That's how you'll be remembered.
Not for what you had, but who you were.
Not for what you took, but what you gave.

Leave people better than you found them.
And you'll build a legacy that lasts.

Maya Angelou said it best:

"People will forget what you said, 
they will forget what you did, 
but people will never forget 
how you made them feel."

The most powerful leadership tool costs $0.

(And you already have it.)

Kindness.

Most people think success comes from being tough.

From pushing harder.
From demanding more.

But here's what the research shows:

Teams led with kindness are...

➟ 70% more engaged
➟ 40% more resilient
➟ 21% more productive 
➟ 4x more likely to stay

Because kindness isn't weak. It's a strength multiplier.

It transforms average teams into exceptional ones.

Think about it:

When someone shows you kindness at work,
you feel seen.

Valued.

Ready to give your best.

That's why great leaders practice these daily:

• They ask real questions, not just "how are you?"
• They defend people who aren't in the room
• They celebrate others' wins like their own
• They respect boundaries and off-hours
• They lead with empathy, not authority
• They offer help before being asked
• They include the quiet voices
• They share knowledge freely
• They give credit generously

The truth?

Leadership isn't about power.
It's about impact.

And nothing impacts people more than genuine kindness.

Make kindness your competitive advantage.

Your team will thank you.
Your results will show it.
Your legacy will prove it.

Want to transform your workplace?

Start with kindness.
The rest will follow.

I made my worst leadership mistake on day 1.

I was so proud of that promotion.

Now I'm in the spotlight, I thought.

Until I eventually learned...

Leadership is all about shining a light on others.

When you become a leader, your impact is
no longer measured by what you produce.

It's now measured by how you help
others grow and reach their potential.

Your greatest achievement becomes
your team's success, not your own.

You see, leadership isn't about:
➟ Being the loudest voice in the room
➟ Taking credit for your team's work
➟ Having an answer for everything

Instead, it's about:

➟ Amplifying the quiet voices
➟ Celebrating your team's wins
➟ Creating space for their growth

Great leaders invest in their people daily.

They see potential before others do.

They push you when you need pushing.
And support you when you need supporting.

Try asking your team:

"What's one obstacle I can remove
for you this week?"

"What skill do you want to develop next?"

When someone doubts themselves,
remind them of their past wins.

Their hidden strengths.

A single "I believe in you" can change everything.

Because at its heart, leadership is simple:

Your job isn't to be the best person on the team.

It's to bring out the best in everyone else.

Your title doesn't make you a leader.
Your behavior does.

Let that sit for a second.

Leadership isn’t a role.
It’s not a LinkedIn headline.
And it’s definitely not something you're promoted into.

It’s what you do.

Before the promotion.
Before the recognition.
Before the raise.

Leadership is:

➟ How you think
➟ How you show up
➟ How you treat people
➟ How you respond under pressure

No one taps you on the shoulder and says:
“Okay, now you’re allowed to lead.”

You decide.
Then you act.

And funny enough?

That’s exactly when the titles start catching up.

Here’s how real leaders get noticed:

— They take initiative
— They speak up when it’s uncomfortable
— They give credit and take responsibility
— They elevate others, not just themselves
— They lead before they’re given authority

You don’t need a big title to lead.
You need a bigger mindset.

Start with how you behave today.

In meetings.
On projects.
With your peers.
When nobody’s watching.

Because if you’re waiting for permission to lead?
You’re already behind.

Lead now.
The rest will follow.

I made a BIG mistake in my first leadership role.

I treated every team member
exactly the same way.

What worked for my more senior employees
completely frustrated the younger ones.

And what motivated my Millennial teammates
made the Boomers uncomfortable.

Here's what I learned:

Great leaders don't use a one-size-fits-all approach.

Some team members appreciate daily feedback.
Others prefer monthly check-ins.

Some want detailed instructions.
Others need creative freedom.

Some love collaborative brainstorming.
Others do their best thinking alone.

The secret?

Get to know each person as an individual.

Ask them:
• When do you do your best work?
• How do you prefer to communicate?
• What support do you need to succeed?
• What kind of feedback helps you grow?

Because leadership isn't about → your ← style.

It's about adapting to help each person thrive.

Instead of treating everyone equally.

Treat them individually.

I used to think leadership was all about your title.
Now I know it's about how you make people feel.

11 signs you're a leader others (actually) want to follow:

01/ You defend them when they're not in the room.
02/ You give credit in public and coach in private.
03/ You fight battles they don't even know about.
04/ You shut down toxicity before it spreads.
05/ You see their potential before they do.
06/ You make their success your priority.
07/ You stay kind when times get tough.
08/ You apologize when you mess up.
09/ You show up when it matters.
10/ You let them outgrow you.
11/ You keep your promises.

I've known "leaders" with fancy titles
who made me feel invisible.

And others who led by influence 
and changed entire careers.

The difference?

One only cared about their position.
The other cared about their people.

Here's what real leaders know:

Your team's success is your success.
Their growth is your legacy.
Their trust is what makes you a leader.

Not your title.

Be the leader who makes people believe
in themselves.

I managed teams for 10 years before I learned
this important truth:

Empathy isn't a "soft skill."

It's your most powerful leadership tool.

I once had a top performer who was
missing deadlines.

Instead of asking "Why isn't this done?"

I asked "How can I support you?"

Turns out, she was dealing with family
health issues but was afraid to speak up.

That one conversation changed everything.

8 ways I learned to show empathy at work:

— Listen without jumping to fix things
— Be flexible when life throws curveballs
— Make time for non-work conversations
— Give praise in public, feedback in private
— Create space where no question feels stupid
— Support mental health days, not just sick days
— Ask how you can help, not why things aren't done
— Treat your team like people first, employees second

When you lead with empathy,
productivity and loyalty naturally follow.

You don't have to choose between being human
and being successful.

The most effective leaders are both.

Because at the end of the day,
people don't leave bad jobs.

They leave environments where they don't feel
understood or appreciated.

Want to transform your team?

Start with empathy.

It's the investment that pays the highest returns.

I spent 7 years studying what separates
great leaders from everyone else.
(The answer shocked me.)

It wasn't charisma or intelligence.
It wasn't experience or credentials.

It was mastering a specific set of competencies
that anyone can learn.

You see, no one's a born leader.

You have to build it. One skill at a time.

The best leaders aren't naturals.
They're practitioners.

They know that self-awareness beats ego.
That emotional intelligence beats IQ.
That authenticity beats authority.

And it starts with leading yourself.

↳ Before you can inspire others
↳ Before you can drive change
↳ Before you can build culture

You must master the mirror.

Most people get this backwards.

They try to lead teams without building trust first.
They attempt to inspire without a clear vision.
They push for results without recognition.

And they wonder why it feels so hard.

Here's what actually works:

Start with one skill.
Practice for 30 days.
Then add another.

Small actions compound into transformation:

➟ Ask for feedback (even when it stings)
➟ Celebrate failures that taught you something
➟ Replace "You should..." with "What do you think?"

The best leaders aren't the loudest.
Or even the smartest.

They're the ones who do the work.

Your future team is waiting for
the leader you're becoming.

And they deserve the best version of you.

Emotional Intelligence is a superpower at work.

Why does it matter so much?

95% of top performers have a high EQ.

First, let's clarify what it's not:

• It's not avoiding difficult conversations
• It's not brushing off what others say
• It's not thinking you're always right
• It's not wearing a "mask" to work
• It's not reacting without thinking
• It's not caring just about profits
• It's not jumping to conclusions
• It's not ignoring how you feel

Here's what it really is about:

• Knowing yourself well
• Being a calming presence
• Having empathy for others
• Building a culture of respect
• Keeping your emotions in check
• Handling disagreements smoothly
• Making it easy for everyone to speak up
• Being happy for others when they do well

If you want to be a top performer at work,
work on your Emotional Intelligence.

➟ It makes work more satisfying.
➟ It helps you lead better.
➟ It makes your team stronger.

Your career will thank you for it.

Shot from a high angle with bright and airy soft, diffused studio lighting, gently illuminating the face and creating a subtle catchlight in the eyes, conveying a sense of clarity. Captured on an 85mm f/1.8 lens with a shallow depth of field, exquisite focus on the eyes, and beautiful, soft bokeh. Observe crisp detail on the fabric texture of the blazer, individual strands of hair, and natural, realistic skin texture. The atmosphere exudes confidence, professionalism, and approachability. Clean and bright cinematic color grading with subtle warmth and balanced tones, ensuring a polished and contemporary feel."

tl;dr:
✦ Get your angle right. 
✦ Lighting is everything. 
✦ Dress for the job you want. 
✦ Use a solid, neutral studio background.

This AI is the "ChatGPT to find people".

And I can't believe what just happened:

It's a public dataset from Bright Data.

1. It's free. You create an account in like 1 min.
2. You prompt it like ChatGPT, "Find all [x people]".
3. You wait 5-15 min, and you have a complete list. 
4. Export your entire list to an Excel, with URLs.

ChatGPT can't. Not even Linkedin?

I have every AI consultant in NYC, SF & London.

This should take weeks, and $$$$ of dollars.

3. Hard-ban expression patterns — with approved rewrites

For each pattern below, detect exact or loose matches and rewrite using one of the “Use instead” options.

A) The “IN A WORLD WHERE” DRAMA
Formula: “In a world where [scary/overwhelming change], [virtue/edge] becomes [currency/advantage].”
Use instead (pick one):

* Today, [specific change]. So [practical implication for the reader].
* Because [concrete change], do [specific action] to get [specific result].

B) The “MOST PEOPLE VS FEW WHO” SPLIT
Formula: “Most people [lazy thing]. The few who win [disciplined thing].”
Use instead:

* Among [group], [specific stat/observation]. What works: [one tactic].
* Personal stance: I do [specific practice] to avoid [specific downside].

C) The “STOP DOING X. START DOING Y.” SWITCH
Formula: “Stop [old habit]. Start [new habit].”
Use instead:

* If you’re doing [X], switch to [Y] when [condition], because [reason].
* Replace [X] with [Y]: [1–3 concrete steps the reader can take].

The One Prompt For ChatGPT-5.1 

(to copy & paste, save for later)

Full GPT-5.1 guide: https://lnkd.in/dvP8QD_i
___

Act like the {ROLE best suited to this task}.

Goal: {OUTCOME}

Inputs:
- Context (audience, use-case, channel):
- Preferences (tone, length, language, formatting):
- Constraints (time/budget/policy/risk):
- Data / links:

Missing info & assumptions:
- If something truly blocks a good answer, ask 3 focused questions in one batch.
- If details are fuzzy but not blocking, state your assumptions explicitly and continue without waiting.

Solution persistence:
- Act as a senior autonomous collaborator.
- Once the goal is clear, gather context, plan, and carry the work to a complete, usable result in this reply.
- Do not stop at analysis or generic advice; produce concrete outputs (drafts, plans, code, examples) where relevant.
- If the user asks “should we do X?” and “yes” is reasonable, also show or draft how to do X instead of leaving them to follow up.

Working style:
- Be direct, practical, and truth-seeking.
- Avoid filler, repeated acknowledgments, or process narration unless explicitly requested.
- Think carefully before answering; check for obvious gaps or contradictions, then respond once using the structure above.

The Anatomy of a GPT-5.1 Prompt:

1. Role
Assign a clear identity for the model. Define who it should “be” while solving the task.

(to read the full guide on GPT-5.1: https://lnkd.in/dmcdTuY6)
 
2. Primary Objective
State the core outcome you expect. Keep it direct and actionable so the model knows what success looks like.

3. Scope
Outline what the model should focus on — and what it should avoid. Give boundaries that keep answers relevant.

4. Tone and Style
Specify the voice, phrasing, and level of formality you want. This ensures responses feel consistent and on-brand.

5. Structure
Explain how the answer should be organized. Use short paragraphs by default, and rely on bullets only when needed for clarity.

6. Autonomy and Reasoning
Tell GPT-5.1 to think through the task. Ask for structured reasoning, and allow it to make sensible assumptions instead of bouncing decisions back.

7. Tool Usage (Optional)
If tools or external steps are available, define how and when they should be used to ground suggestions.

8. Verbosity and Limits
Set expectations for depth and length. Keep responses concise unless the task requires more detail.

9. Interaction & Closing
Guide how the model should wrap up: no repetition, no apologies, and always end with a clear next step.

Personally, I love "Efficient" and this prompt:

---- 

PROMPT: 

Write like a direct, skeptical expert helping a smart but busy founder.

Style:
* Be concise and practical first. Cut filler and small talk.
* Use clear, straightforward English at ~8th-grade level.
* Prefer short sentences and short paragraphs.
* Avoid emojis, exclamation marks, buzzwords, metaphors, and motivational fluff.
* Do not use em dashes (“—”) but replace them with starting a new sentence or using a comma instead.

Stance:
* Assume I’m ENTJ (the MBTI personality): I value straight answers, strong opinions, and clear trade-offs.
* Get to the point quickly; lead with the answer or recommendation.
* Take a forward-thinking, innovative view, but stay grounded in reality and constraints.
* Push back if my assumptions look wrong. Avoid simply agreeing.

Reasoning & accuracy:
* You are an expert who double-checks important claims and is openly skeptical.
* When facts may be outdated or uncertain, say what you know, what you don’t, and what you’re inferring.
* When appropriate, use the web to verify time-sensitive or niche information and cite key sources briefly.

Working style:
* If crucial information is missing, ask up to 3 focused questions in one batch; otherwise state your assumptions explicitly and proceed.
* Prioritise decision-useful answers over theory. Always show what to do next.
