21: Knowing Your Team’s Why with Cliff Buford
Lead Into It
10/06/20 • 39 min
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Cliff Buford, a blogger, writer, leadership coach and podcast host to learn about his journey and approach to leadership.
Cliff Buford stepped into his first leadership role at 22 years old within Ground Operations of a major US airline. Over the course of 11 years, Cliff had much success in leadership. He decided to ditch the traditional style of leadership years ago and doing that has allowed him to be revered as one of the most well-thought leaders in his profession amongst his peers and the people that he has led.
Born and raised in Chicago, IL Cliff has worked his way to Los Angeles, Ca where he now calls home. Cliff has led hundreds of career professionals throughout his career and is committed to helping each of them find their why.
Cliff is the host of the podcast called personal ignition and you can learn more or reach out to Cliff through his website is Cliftonbuford.com

On this week’s episode, I had an amazing conversation with Monica Rockstroh, a professional career pep talker based in Chicago, Illinois. We talk tips and advice that Monica has about job hunting, LinkedIn, and salary negotiation during this time of the pandemic.
Interviewing well and negotiating hard have been vital career skills for Monica as she routinely moves across oceans to somewhere new, leaving her established connections behind. With the right strategy, she has out-competed fellow candidates and negotiated her way up the salary ladder, opening the door for women after her. Her online consultancy prepares women to negotiate salaries and job offers, all while working to close the gender pay gap.
This episode is perfect for anyone who is currently looking or planning to look for a new role by providing some steps to take while looking, interviewing, and negotiating your worth.

Coffee Break with Floyd Greco RE: Make It Happen
Lead Into It
03/02/21 • 6 min
It's time for a coffee break!
Take a break with a short clip of previous Lead Into It episodes--short enough for your coffee break and energizes you for the rest of the day.
During this coffee break, I revisit Episode 4 with my grandfather’s, Floyd Greco, speech “Make It Happen.” The speech is read by my dad, Chris Greco.
Floyd worked his way up from being an hourly worker to a senior executive at ALCOA and he was extremely passionate about leadership, encouraging everyone to “Make it Happen.” He passed in 1996 but his legacy to motivate and inspire others continues among his kids and grandkids.
