Leadership Quote

Don’t just be a role model. Be a real model.

This refers to being accessible to people, enabling other people’s self-belief, growth, and career development. As opposed to being a leader, put a pedestal, glossy, and glorified dazzling from afar and blinding others with your greatness.

Dr. Robert J. Moore III

Foot and Ankle Surgeon

Leading on Your Feet

Episode Summary

Great leaders, like graceful dancers, know how to think on their feet. That’s hard when your feet hurt! Feet issues can hamper how we show up as leaders. I interviewed Dr. Robert J. Moore III on Keep Leading LIVE!™ to discuss “Leading on Your Feet.”

Bio

About Doctor Moore, Born and raised in Northern California, I was active in year-round sports and played a year of college football at U.C. Davis while following my father’s legacy as an engineer. After taking a biology course a year later, I quickly realized that the ultimate machine was the human body and transferred to U.C. Berkeley to graduate with an Arts Bachelor in Physiology. My love for the Bay area, Mother’s nursing influence, and experience in a clinic watching foot surgery convinced me to attend medical school in San Francisco.

Upon completion of my degree, I was selected to attend a surgical training program in Houston, Texas, where I now reside. I am grateful for the experience, training, and excellent medical community here. My position on hospital committees and teaching surgical techniques at our residency program keeps me on the cutting edge and up to date in this ever-changing health care sector. Now in my fifties, my daughters, clinic, and pursuit in the wellness industry renew my enthusiasm for life daily.

Dr. Robert J. Moore, III, is one of the best foot and ankle doctors in Texas! He is a thought leader who is on the cutting edge of the ever-changing health care sector. He is also a healthcare educator who teaches surgical techniques in a Houston residency program and is the author of “Body of Knowledge—The complete weight management system for a lifetime of health.”

Roxanne Kaufman Elliott

Executive Coach | Speaker | Author

Ignite Your Leadership

Episode Summary

I had an interesting leadership discussion with Roxanne Kaufman Elliott. Roxanne does one thing – leadership development. She does it through her love of the art of performance blended with the science of transformation in business and life. 

Bio

From her first main stage performance of a Celtic Sword dance at the age of 5; throughout school and college years as an arts and communication major; during years of non-profit work in the performing arts and leading restoration projects of old theatres into performing arts centers; through a meteoric rise in a highly successful corporate career as the only woman in a male-dominated industry; to stepping into the entrepreneurial sphere of creating a transformational leadership development company devoted to helping others become the very best of themselves; Roxanne has learned, developed, honed and discovered a deep understanding and passion for the art and science of genuine and authentic leadership and the power of performance… and how both are intrinsically and inherently linked to achieving success in life and business.

This kind of leadership development results in three powerful success factors:

1.    It restores and inspires our passion,

2.    It renews and ignites our intellect,

3.    It transforms and impacts all that we do.

It’s Leadership to the power of 3
