Leadership Lessons And Quotes From Kingsman: The Golden Circle

A Reel Leadership Article

In 2014, Matthew Vaughan directed the hilarious movie Kingsman: The Secret Service. Kingsman told the story of a young, unrefined street kid who had the promise to join a secret society. This young man was Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton).

This weekend, Matthew Vaughan returned to direct the sequel to Kingsman, Kingsman: The Golden Circle.

You soon see things are changing in the world of young Eggsy. He’s in a long-term relationship, he has friends, and then his fellow Kingsmen are murdered. This starts Eggsy on a journey to discover what happened, who did it, and extract revenge on those responsible.

There’s this facade we all put up to protect ourselves from the outward gazes of those looking at us. The facade is hurting us.

I’m Not Confident, No Really… I’m Not

When I look at the daily changes I have to face in my career, in my home, with my friends, I begin to quake. I don’t know if I have what it takes to take care of my job, my home, my family, and my friends. But I put up a front.  Read more...

What The Book Writing Process Looks Like

It's not as easy as you might think

For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been in the process of writing my first physical book. The book, Reel Leadership: Tales of leadership from the movies, will share insights into the leadership lessons you will find in the movies (much like my Reel Leadership articles).

I’ve longed to publish my first book. And the reality of my first book is edging ever closer. But one thing I realized is that I haven’t shared much of my book writing process with you, my readers.

If you’ve ever wondered what the book writing process looks like, check out how mine has gone.  Read more...
