Vanguard Venue

We share reflections on discovering your deeper “because” through passion, purpose, and precision, and how Practicing Excellence fuels vision, strategy, and execution. January and February highlights include our 2026 strategy offsite grounded in the Hedgehog Concept and Flywheel, a keynote and coaching culture sessions at Allegion’s National Sales Conference, and executive leadership development work with Residex.AI as we continue serving high-performing teams throughout 2026.

We reflect on the summer rhythm of transformational leadership—balancing family, service, and strategic focus—while launching and concluding the season with world-class leadership and ICF coaching courses in partnership with the Pat Tillman Foundation, 1st Army Division West, and Apex Analytics. Highlights include coaching culture development at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a DownRange Leadership off-site in North Carolina, the launch of AnthonyRandall.org, and meaningful service initiatives at home and abroad. As we head into the second half of 2025, we look forward to partnering with leaders and teams committed to practicing excellence and building high-character, high-performance cultures.

This month’s message challenges leaders to pursue joy over fleeting happiness, especially in today’s NIL-driven culture, reminding us that high-character, high-culture teams still win when excellence—not ease—is the standard. We share practical leadership principles for building championship cultures rooted in virtue, accountability, and coaching the person, not just the problem. Highlights include our 80-Hour ICF Level 1 Coaching Course at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, partnership with the Pat Tillman Foundation, keynote engagements with the American Hockey Coaches Association and Work Rehumanized Speaker Series, and meaningful moments honoring service at the National Infantry Museum and the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps.

This month’s message draws from Miyamoto Musashi’s Book of Five Rings, challenging leaders to practice adaptability, disciplined fundamentals, and spiritual clarity amid economic volatility and industry disruption. We celebrate a VPCC graduate’s first coaching contract, highlight our ICF Level 1 and Level 2 certification pathways, and share recent leadership engagements with Samaritan’s Purse and national speaking events. As we continue mastering the fundamentals—stance, timing, and rhythm—we remain committed to developing leaders and teams who practice excellence in every arena.

This month’s message challenges leaders to “Build the Team” by creating their own leadership Mt. Rushmore—surrounding themselves with high-character individuals who raise the bar and pursue excellence together. We highlight the impact of our 80-hour VPCC ICF Level 1 Coaching Certification, the launch of our new ICF Level 2 pathway to the PCC credential, and transformational leadership work with RTX leaders. As organizations plan for 2025, we remain committed to helping teams select in, scale with purpose, and build high-character, high-culture organizations that win.

This month’s message explores the Flywheel Principle from Good to Great, emphasizing how consistent, disciplined action builds long-term momentum and sustainable growth. We reflect on Vanguard XXI’s rapid expansion since 2021, measurable client impact—including reduced turnover and increased engagement in Fortune 100 divisions—and the growing demand for certified internal coaching cultures. As organizations plan for 2025, we remain focused on transforming leaders, forging excellence, and accelerating talent development through world-class leadership training and ICF coaching certification.
