Leading IN and OUT of a Crisis

Today's episode is in response to a talk from Craig Groeschel about how we as leaders need to approach the reality that we are currently leading out of a very real crisis.

Here are some of the high points:

The toll that crisis takes on us can be a silent killer that makes us want to stop. It's not time to LET UP on leadership because people are looking for active leadership now more than ever. This fatigue can come from getting depleted.

In a crisis, the fake leaders disappear. The storms expose the true captains because they step up into the struggle.

How will you get refilled... and do you realize no one else is responsible to make sure you get filled back up? For you to pour into others, you have to make sure you actually have something to offer. You can't consistently give to others well without stewarding yourself well.

The four areas you need to be aware of in life as a leader:

- physical

- emotional

- relational

- spiritual

Outlast The Temporary

Today's episode is in response to a talk from Ed Mylett about how important it is that we as leaders begin to understand that everything in this life is temporary and we have the potential to CHANGE!

Here are some of the high points:

We all tend to believe that where we are is permanent... but you are not a tree. You can get up and MOVE to make changes.

Success requires no apologies and failure allows no alibis. But IF we do allow excuses for our failures rather than owning them, we will never become the person we were created to be!

You are where you are today based on how you handled the difficult seasons you've encountered up until now. AND the amazing thing is that we don't have to follow that same programming in the future IF it hasn't been effective.

We have to reframe our challenges to understand that they are not happening TO us... they are happening FOR us.

Keep replacing your plan until you find one that works when you WORK IT with everything you've got!

We Can Learn From ANYONE!

Today's episode is in response to a talk from Albert Tate at the Global Leadership Summit about how important it is that we as leaders realize that each of us regardless of our experience or position can learn from anyone!

Here are some of the high points:

Leadership is influence. Everyone has influence... which means that everyone is a leader. 

If you're a mother or father, you are a leader. In your workplace, you may have opportunities to be a leader. In the environments you are in, are you leaving people better or worse?

As leaders, we NEED to have an abundance of humility!

With humility, it brings the ability to learn... and often the best place to learn will be a location where you get to be around people who are DIFFERENT than you!

We ALL can learn from anyone. When we are with people, we have the opportunity to ask questions, listen, learn and understand!

The older we get, the more confident we get that there is MUCH that we don't know!

The Power of Regret

Today's episode is in response to a talk from Daniel Pink at the Global Leadership Summit about the power of regret and how it impacts our lives.

Here are some of the high points:

REGRET is our most transformative emotion next to LOVE. It's also the number one and most powerful negative emotion. It's a stomach churning feeling that the present would be better and the future would be brighter if we had lived and made decisions differently.

Regrets can powerfully tear us down... OR they can actually can serve to clarify what really matters to us and they can instruct us on how to do better!

There are four different types of regrets.

- Foundational Regrets

- Boldness Regrets

- Moral Regrets

- Connection Regrets

These categories will touch on almost every significant area of our lives.

Leading with Authenticity: Part 2

Today's episode is the second part of a discussion in response to a leadership conversation between Craig Groeschel and Jamie Kern Lima about Leading with Authenticity. 

Here are some of the high points:

Authenticity alone doesn't guarantee success... but inauthenticity DOES guarantee failure.

People can sense when you aren't being authentic.

When we change our relationship with rejection, we change our entire lives.

When you get comfortable with hearing "NO" ... it will reframe your willingness to take the next step. It won't be as hard and you will no longer take it personally. 

Be a brave one! Most people are so afraid of being rejected that they won't step out and just make an ASK.

Don't get to Heaven only having done 50% of what you were capable of.

Your journey will be filled with many rejections -- now that you know it will happen, this shouldn't affect you as much!

Today may be bad... but you never know what will happen by next Tuesday in your business if you don't GIVE UP!

Trust your KNOWING over hearing someone telling you "NO."

Build the muscle of intuition! 

More than ever, people need to know WHY they are doing what they are doing. This is part of what is feeding the great resignation across our nation and around the world! 

You were not born to compete with anyone - you were created to reach the highest potential for YOU!

Leading with Authenticity: Part 1

Today's episode is a discussion in response to a leadership conversation between Craig Groeschel and Jamie Kern Lima about Leading with Authenticity. It is the first part of a two part series we will do digging into this content!

Here are some of the high points:

Part of being authentic is opening up to people and allowing them to see behind the scenes. No matter what role you have right now, God is using that to move you toward your calling. The job you have may be simple and it may not look big, but that doesn't mean these moments don't have the potential to prepare you for the next step.

Every business or movement of significance must start from a deeply held conviction about your WHY if it is to endure the hardships. Many leaders fail because they have their priorities wrong. They focus on the what and the how but miss putting energy into clarifying their WHY.

Don't put flash over cash - especially early on. Take the money you are making and reinvest it into your business to create a sustainable income.

It's the things that no one sees that you are doing that produce the results that everyone wants.

Sometimes you just HAVE to make it happen... period.

The Path of Success with John Maxwell

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a leadership talk from John Maxwell about how to walk the path of success via The Power of FIVE!

Here are some of the high points:

As leaders, it is mission critical that we have a growth mindset... that we never STOP learning and growing. Most people turn off their growth mindset by the time they are TWELVE!!

Only growing leaders have the ability to grow their teams -- if you're having a problem with your team growing, look inwardly first.

Beware of the danger of "finish lines" ... there isn't a time to STOP, there are just key mile markers along the way.

The number one thing John Maxwell would talk with people about is their MINDSET. He says that how you view things is how you DO things!

Here is a link to pick up the incredible book called The Power of Five that this content flows from - it's incredible!! 👇

Breaking BAD Leadership Habits

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a leadership talk from Craig Groeschel about HOW to break bad leadership habits.

Here are some of the high points:

The first step is to identify WHAT habits you have currently that aren't serving you well. Take the time to look at your bank account, your health and your family to help answer this question. Are you wasting time, are you procrastinating, are you avoiding confrontation... are you overcommitting yourself and burning the candle at both ends?

Good habits are hard to start because the results don't come to fruition until the future.

We will either pay the price NOW or we'll pay it LATER with interest and penalties...

You are the SUM of the 5 people you spend the most time with... some relationships need to be re-negotiated and others need to be terminated.

The more you rise in leadership, the more difficult it will be to identify and define the weaknesses in your leadership.

3 Keys to Starting New Habits That Stick!

Today's episode is a discussion in response to a leadership talk from Craig Groeschel about the three keys to starting new habits that stick.

Here are some of the high points:

You don't have to be great to start... but you need to start to become great.

Most people are trying to do BIG things that seem insurmountable.

Start with something small - 40% of the actions that you do daily are the results of your HABITS... not your decisions.

The fastest way to do big things is to consistently do small things RIGHT.

If you're doing something with your business, look at people who are having success and find small things they are doing that you can begin to implement.

What is the ONE habit you want to start this year that you can stick to?

Don't try to start TEN new habits at the same time.

If you haven't figured out your I AM statement yet, that is a fantastic first step.

It is better if your new habit is small!

Newton's first law is that an object at rest tends to stay at rest... but an object in motion tends to stay in motion!

If you want to be a disciplined leader, STOP hitting the snooze button! Make that decision and stick to it!

High Impact Habits For Successful Leaders

Today's episode is a discussion between Chad Kneller and I in response to a talk from Craig Groeschel about the high impact habits that YOU can start putting into place today to work toward becoming a successful leader!

Here are some of the high points:

Successful people do consistently what unsuccessful people do occasionally.

Being successful and being unsuccessful are easy to do or easy not to do. The simple disciplines made consistently over time will produce something significant over time!

It takes about 63 days to create a new habit if you want it to stick and actually install it! The problem is that if you STOP at any point on the journey, you'll lose momentum and have to start over.

It's not about hitting the finish line, it's about seeing how FAR you can go!

Goals don't determine success - systems are what determine success.

You don't maintain anything in life - you're either getting more healthy or you're getting less healthy! Nothing drifts UPHILL!
