Episode #697: Don’t blame the trauma for how you turned out to be. It is not the trauma that is causing you to be this awful person, but it is the LIE that you have chosen to believe in. You have the power and the choice to live a better life.

Do you experience traumas in the past and that embarrasses you to some degree? We’ve all been there, but guess what? You don’t have to LIE and build a different story over it just because you want to be accepted. Stop lying to yourself!

Wouldn’t it be better to be yourself from the very beginning and if people don’t like you for it, that’s fine. You will find the right people who will love and accept you for who you are and they will respect you more because they know you are not a fake.

Thu, 17 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #654: You CAN’T IGNORE your weaknesses! Ignoring weaknesses doesn’t banish them, and doing so often just makes them worse because they’ll continue to stand in the way of what you want to accomplish.

You have to acknowledge your weaknesses and figure out a way to work around them. Turn your weaknesses into your strengths and all it takes is for you to practice DELIBERATELY!

How To Practice DELIBERATELY: Three Practice Areas for NOW

Wed, 16 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #653: Most of us leaders can actually improve ourselves during work. Now let me ask you this, are you a very good ACTIVE listener or do you TALK too much? Hey friends! If you want to improve in this area, you need to be MORE INTERESTED than INTERESTING. What does that mean? Listen in because that’s what we are here to talk about.

Episode #652: How do you practice deliberately? Here’s a TIP! You will not engage in just any activity. Instead, you will engage in ONE designed specifically to improve your performance. You are not just going to show up and practice the same way as you always have. You just have to do ONE practice at a time.

This may look easy at first glance, but listen! People are more likely to tire from the mental strain than the physical strain. So it is important for you to toughen up your mind because even when your body says no but your mind knows you can till go on, trust me it will do wonders for your growth!

Weekly Dose of Growth: Getting Feedback

Fri, 11 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #650: Let’s be honest, nobody wants feedback. Hold on! Let me rephrase that, nobody wants HONEST Feedback. And the only people who love feedback are CHAMPIONS. That’s what we are here to talk about in this week’s edition of LeaderTribe, getting feedback.

Getting Feedback: Take this Small RISK

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #649: I want you to say this with me, “I NEED LOVING CRITICS”. Getting feedback is too risky. Let me tell you that. You need to open yourself up to new information and accept the RISK that is out there. This is critical because if you trust people and they love you enough to give you honest feedback, that will be meaningful and you will become a BETTER LEADER.

This is from the book titled Learning Leadership: The Five Fundamentals of Becoming an Exemplary Leader

Getting Feedback: Feedback's One Necessary Ingredient

Wed, 09 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #648: Do you know the ONE ingredient that is necessary when receiving feedback? It is TRUST. If you want to receive feedback from a person you will also need to build that trust, be vulnerable, and believe in them. Trust is something that helps the world go round. It makes networking and relationships work and it helps you to be your BEST self.

Getting Feedback: Feedback FORCES Vulnerability

Tue, 08 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #647: Are you willing to take responsibility for the feedback you receive? We know that we want to grow but we also want people to accept us just how we are. It is really difficult to become a better leader if we’re not making honest evaluations about ourselves. When you can receive feedback, embrace it, and be open to it, the chance of you actually getting better SKYROCKETS!

This is from the book titled Learning Leadership: The Five Fundamentals of Becoming an Exemplary Leader

Getting Feedback: You Are Self Deceived!

Mon, 07 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #646: How can we get the kind of feedback that really helps us? Asking for feedback is not something very many leaders are inclined to do. But let me tell you this, without feedback, you CAN’T GROW!

Time and time again people indicate that they are above average. Hey friends! You have to stop protecting your ego. You need to have more HUMILITY and accept objective feedback in order for you to properly grow as a leader.

Getting Connected: Quality Connections Matter!

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #642: I don’t care how many connections you have, because only a few of them know who you are. Quality connections matter! The HIGHER THE QUALITY of your connection is to people, the more those things are going to be true in your life. It doesn’t matter if you’re an introvert because if you care about the people that you’re going to connect with, the better it is for you and your life.

Listen to this, researchers have shown that high-quality connections contribute to individual flourishing and team and organizational effectiveness. People who have high-quality connections are healthier, they have higher cognitive functioning, they are broader thinkers, they are more resilient, they are more committed to the organization and they know better whom to trust and whom not to trust.

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #627: Everybody says they want feedback but when they get it, it is always scary. John Maxwell said, “Feedback is the breakfast of champions!” It takes courage to open yourself up to new information about yourself and learn. It certainly takes courage to become vulnerable and expose your weakness.

When you show vulnerability, especially in public. It takes courage to admit that you need help in some areas. Listen to this, people who say “I need help in this area,” or “Can I ask you a question?” get more respect than those who don’t have the guts to ask the right questions. Do you want to know why? Because leadership, for the most part, is a process of learning. Leaders learned how to become leaders and they are not afraid to ask for help and people will respect them for it.

Episode #624: We will end the week with a story. Hey Friends! Listen to this: PERSONAL COURAGE is CONTAGIOUS. If I see you becoming more courageous, all of a sudden I think I need to do that too. Anytime you have courage, other people around you will be courageous as well.

If you’re not choosing courage, you’re hurting yourself but even more, you’re hurting your family, the people around you, and you’re hurting your team. Because if you have enough guts to do this, they will join you in that. What is a small area that I can show courage and then others can be inspired by that?

Courageous Leadership: How to be More Courageous

Wed, 05 Aug 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #623: How do you become more courageous? Simple: take action! If you DO NOT take any risk, you won’t receive any GAIN. Action is the most potent antidote to fear. It breeds confidence and it nurtures courage in a way that nothing else can.

People’s brains are wired to OVERESTIMATE RISK. They exaggerate the consequences and they underestimate the ability to handle it. It’s almost like our brains are risk-averse, our brains want to play it safe. Fear will always drive you to play safe, so start taking action because that’s the only thing that will help you become more courageous.

Episode #622: Courage is mostly about ordinary encounters in life. Courage is personal. Because it is personal, you can get more of this in your life. So how exactly do you get more courage? It is as simple as making a choice to do something rather than to not do something. That’s it! Say YES to the CHALLENGE.

What’s a small decision that you could make today that’s a step in the right direction but it’s going to take a little bit of courage? Whatever it is, do it!

This is from the book titled Learning Leadership: The Five Fundamentals of Becoming an Exemplary Leader

Courageous Leadership: You Have Some Courage

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 04:00:00 +0000

Episode #621: Eleanor Roosevelt once said “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop, and you really stop, and you look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along. You must do the thing that you think you cannot do.”

Courage is actually much more prevalent than we think it is. It’s something that every person has. Courage may be precious but IT IS NOT RARE. So what can we do to bring that courage from the inside out? Courage is not all about being fearless, is all about being able to CONTROL YOUR FEAR.
