    Life in Leadership

    My name is Jon Maples. I am a Police Chief for a medium sized agency. I love my job in leadership, but it wasn’t easy to get there. I want to spread the word of my journey-of how I got there and the lessons I have learned in making a better me for my family and my organization. I wish to provide life lessons to help fathers be better fathers, husbands be better husbands, and leaders be better leaders. We as a society need to get by to our God given American values-class, honor, respect, integrity, discipline, and hard work. We need to focus on our health and wellness to be the best version of ourselves we can be. Through my journey I have improved my quality of life for myself and the ones around me.I want to help better the lives of others through my journey and what failures and successes I have had along the way. I grew up in a divorced family, always was the underdog, but knew I had to make good choices to make a better future for myself and my family.I met a young lady in middle school that has always made me a better person. She is now my wife and provided me with two fun and energeticl sons.I began my career as a young person and knew it was my calling. I worked hard and am career oriented. I worked my way through the ranks even through some failures and persevered to where I am today. I will talk a lot about this throughout these podcasts. I was appointed to my dream job as Police Chief of my hometown. While holding my dream job and being the boss, I got lost in my career and lost focus of my family and my health. One day I realized how terrible of a person I was and the error of some of my ways. I decided to change my mindset in life. I heard a saying that changed my game… “You are what you do, not what you’ll say you’ll do! Get to work!” I am a leader of a police organization and was only “leading” people at work. I had the tools, but was only using them while at work. I needed to refocus on my life, my family, and my health. For this to happen I had to refocus on positive change and fall in love with an sustainable journey. I still work daily to build the right habits to be their best husband, father, and leader I can be. Join me in this podcast if you want to learn from my failures so you can be successful. I am looking for people that want to follow and participate to get the most out of Life in Leadership to provide a better life for you and your family. Your life’s strategy matters most in your approach to circumstances and situations for you to be a champion or winner always. Stay in the Lion’s mood!
