We've known Charles Henricks for quite a few but have recently had the opportunity to build our professional and personal relationship with him. In addition to serving as CEO, Principal Architect, and Managing Partner of The Gaines Group, PLC, Charles recently earned a fellowship with the Construction Specifications Institute National Conference based on his work advocating for sustainability in the construction industry and mentoring peers and the next generation.

In this episode, we'll talk about the clear purpose that drives him and The Gaines Group, the core values that serve as the foundation for that purpose, and how all that ties to the time he invests into mentoring others.

We recently had the opportunity to provide three separate sessions as part of a large client's "Professional Development Days" curriculum. Two were based on keynote presentations we've shared with thousands of people over the years but the final session was a variation of a lesson from our "Leading At The Next Level" program, likely back in 2021 or 2022, that we've only shared publicly a time or two. To our surprise, that session was packed... While I can't share it all here, this will hopefully serve as a solid starting point you can use for "Setting Priorities" that help you create systems that yield great results.
