"Carlos never disappoints. This was our second workshop with Carlos. He is simply a generous, approachable, professional master at his craft. Building upon a prior workshop, our attendees were engaged, motivated to examine and ultimately gained further tools on what it means to fully embrace and implement "ownership" as a leader. Carlos knows his core, knows how to convey that core and we certainly look forward to working with him again, corporate wide. Many thanks for mission accomplished!"

"I give Carlos the highest possible rating because he is phenomenal. This is the second time I have seen him speak and I still could not believe that the day went by that fast. He left the individuals who were skeptical prior to the event wanting more time with him."

"On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being tops in every way, Carlos scored an 11 with our attendees. He was so well-prepared, effective, inspiring and also relatable. We're so grateful for his service and for delivering the Extreme Ownership message to our group in a memorable way."

    BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS | Carlos Mendez

    Relationships are paramount. Leadership at any level requires good relationships with people above you, below you, and beside you in the chain of command so we can understand the needs of the people and teams we work with. When we understand their needs, we can support them and move closer to accomplishing the broader mission. Through relationships, we find out how to support each other and work as a true team. To be able to support each other, we need to build relationships. What are some good ways to build relationships between teams?
