Today's episode Features Dr. Stanley Ward. He is the founder and principal of Influence Coaching, LLC and is an esteemed leadership coach. We discuss burnout and learning to manage the drive that helps you be a great leader while not doing damage to yourself and those around you. View yourself and others as "engines." Some of us are diesel engines(heavy loads at low rpm), others are gasoline (same loads, higher RPM) but cannot go as far. Dr. Ward also mentions a book by Thomas Kilman and talks about how we can think of all conflicts as concern for self or a concern for others. In identifying these, try using the phrase, "Here's what I need from you, what do you need from me?" If work is not getting done and if good people are in place, assume it is processes. Burnout can come from being micromanaged. Also being withdrawn from people and being cynical.

Today's guest is Susan Sloan, the author of A Seat at the Table: Women, Diplomacy, and Lessons for the World. She's not only an author, but also a world travel-having been to all seven continents. Susan discusses how bringing people of different backgrounds, races and genders can give us strength in numbers. The thought that the people making the decisions to affect others should roughly reflect the demographics of the people they represent. In leadership, strength in numbers can be positive or negative. They can be used to make positive change or enable groupthink. Susan also speaks of gender equality and going into detail of some gender attributes and how utilizing them together in the workplace is the "secret sauce." Gender attributes are not all-encompassing, but being aware of them in addition to finding your team's strengths and weaknesses can take your team to the next level. Through Susan's studies, she's discovered the ideal percentage breakdown between genders in the workplace. I'm not going to give it away, listen to the episode!

To be successful in leadership, you need to have GRIT. What is grit? Well according to the article mentioned/linked below, GRIT is having the passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals. You can be smart and talented but without grit, all of your natural talents could quickly turn into wasted potential. You can become grittier by recognizing that things are difficult and make the conscious decision to keep pushing yourself. Persevere through the struggle knowing that you will come out on the other end, in the long term, better for it. https://www.newharbinger.com/blog/what-grit-and-why-it-important (The article mentioned in the episode.)

This episode revolves around an episode of the Order of Man Podcast that I listened to. There's a lot of great stuff in the episode, and I encourage you to check it out-link below. The Privilege Mindset. Sure, some people are born with unique opportunities that others do not have at birth. Is the expectation that I NOT capitalize/leverage those gifts that I was given so that I can make others feel better? Absolutely not. If you have gifts or advantages (even if they are "unfair") USE THEM. Just because people have something, does not always mean that you cannot have something. You are not fat, just because someone else it ripped. You are not poor, because someone else is rich. It's a great way to think about life in general. If you show me someone who is ripped (in shape) I will show you someone who does more stuff than you. This doesn't just apply to working out. Think about it in general. For this example, people are in great shape still have the same feelings everyone else does. There's days they don't feel like working out because they are tired, sore, busy, etc. But the difference between that person and others is that they suck it up and still do it. They make the decision to execute and get to work when it is much easier to do nothing. Be obsessed with visions. Picture your goals and dreams coming to fruition. Visualize what will occur and how it looks and feels when you achieve that goal. Also, look at your goals and think about the type of person who is already there. The example is owning a $26 million home. Sure, it's easy to do the math of what it takes to get there (NOT easy to earn the money to get there) but imagine what the person who is already there does. How does he live his life? What does he do when he wakes up? How does he treat his spouse? How does he treat his kids? How does he run his business? How does he lead in his community? Why do people get triggered? It's because someone else has something, and the person who is triggered because he is not willing to do the work to get it. Plain and simple. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-uncomfortable-truths-sean-whalen/id979752171?i=1000475290504 (The Order of Man: The Power of Uncomfortable Truths | SEAN WHALEN) https://www.orderofman.com/ https://player.captivate.fm/episode/553a8cd2-0128-4b83-a541-b67ab60a9296 (The Three Rules to Success) If you find this content valuable and would like access to some cool perks, become a patron, here https://www.patreon.com/talkingllamamedia.

I don't like movements or people that tell you to settle where you are. You should never settle for mediocrity and should ALWAYS (yes, an absolute) try to be better. If you are paying for a coach and he is telling you that "you are enough," what are you paying that person for? Coaches should be pushing you and putting you in uncomfortable situations so that you grow and become better. Growth and long-term success does not come from being constantly comfortable. We do not have control over other peoples' opinions. We should not change ourselves with the intent of changing someone's opinion. Other peoples' opinions are outside of our control. So that means we could change ourselves (internal decision within our control) and we still may not change the opinion of another person (external decision, outside of our control). Don't waste your time and energy trying to change for others. If you want to change, be deliberate about it and do it for YOU! Being mediocre is addicting. The "you are enough" movement encourages that addiction to mediocrity. Be more than mediocre, be great! People who talk the most trash, are often doing the least. Agree? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-uncomfortable-truths-sean-whalen/id979752171?i=1000475290504 (The Order of Man: The Power of Uncomfortable Truths | SEAN WHALEN) https://www.orderofman.com/ Talkingllama.com If you find this content valuable and would like access to some cool perks, become a patron, here https://www.patreon.com/talkingllamamedia.

Joey Held is a fellow podcaster who hosts two podcasts Good People, Cool Things and Parks and Wrecked and is a pro on storytelling. Joey discusses storytelling and ways to effectively communicate to your listeners. Some easy ways are simply putting yourself in the shoes (or shoe) of your audience in order to build relatability and credibility. Think of a comedian who makes a living telling jokes about fatherhood and other adult related topics. That comedian then decides to take his act to college campuses. The story (or jokes, in this case) are not relatable to the audience, therefore there were not seen as "funny." In this example, the comedian was able to figure out the disparity and then tweaked his message to speak to his audience. If all you are trying to do is promote yourself, it will not turn out well!

Nick is the co-host and co-founder of the lead.exe podcast. On today's episode, Nick discusses different ways that introverts can focus on and become better communicators. Nick's experience stems from being in the information technology world, where many of his peers are by nature, introverts.

Today's episode features Max Warren, Co-founder and CRO of SpeakerFlow. His background is in Corporate sales with a focus on Voice, data and video applications and products and recently, he's been focusing on Business Development and Inside Sales in Professional Services. A brief outline of our conversation is below: Intentional Thoughts and Actions As leaders we have to have intentionality in thoughts AND action. Bring full presence to a situation, think about leading someone, biggest thing is having a clear idea of where you are leading them, front or behind. Be intentional about it because you have that responsibility on your shoulders and need to have an aim and outcome in mind. Without a clear intention, how do you get others to buy in and come together as a team? Communicate how actions now get to larger picture Restate person’s statement, “what I heard you say was…” shared intention, active listening, start with questions Get on call and have a meeting, at end, come back and ask, “do you feel like we covered everything?” Gives them buy in and makes them feel validated. Make a shared experience, not feeling hijacked, ASK QUESTIONS to ge clarity, repeat things back Can’t lead someone who is disengaged, no sense of cohesiveness or trust- MUST get their buy in Conflict and leadership Show people how what they’re doing moves the needle for everyone. Conflict, no definition of success, how can people figure out what is expected of them? Lack of communication or leaving vacuum of unknowns does not work. When someone's back is against the wall-the immediate response is to be defensive and to blame. Part of intention is being a student of those around you-emotional intelligence Have to care, be socially aware of what makes them tick, plays to their strengths SHARED INTENTION is an art Words have meaning and become more persuasive when there’s empathy behind them.

This episode features https://www.linkedin.com/in/nelsonetoriano/ (Nelson Toriano), the founder/CEO of Coach Nelly Toriano LLC. He has also written a book, the link at at the bottom of this page. Nelson has a passion for the fitness industry but noticed a trend. The trend was that many personal trainers and gym owners did not know basic business practices. Nelson noticed this trend and in addition to coaching people in fitness, began coaching personal trainers in entrepreneurship, sales, marketing and basic accounting practices. Part of his business includes frequent speaking engagements to organizations and college students. Nelson discusses some of the ways he prepares for these speaking engagements and things that he does during his speech to maximize audience engagement and receive quality feedback from his listeners. Unrelated to the theme of this podcast, the end of the episode features a few exercises to get shredded abs. I don't like it, but the first suggested exercise is the plank.

This week's episode features https://www.linkedin.com/in/divyaparekh/ (Divya Parekh), who is an author and business and leadership coach explains to us how we can provide feedback to our teams (even negative feedback) professionally and with empathy. As leaders, we must set ground rules, or expectations for our team members. During this time, we inform of our team of what we need/want them to do and what occurs if they do not live up to these expectations. Setting these guidelines up-front communicates a clear message of what will happen in the future if an employee does or does not do something. Much of the anxiety in the workplace results in coming from unknowns, so the clearer and more transparent that we can be in telling our team what they can expect to happen, we reduce that feeling of the unknown. Divya also discusses mindfulness and the importance of being present in the moment. It's so easy to want to always be thinking of the future or what we will say next. How can we be active listeners and mindful of what others are saying if we are brainstorming what we will say next? I had a lot of fun recording this and Divya dropped some major knowledge bombs and opened my eyes to new ways of seeing some important leadership topics. Check out Divya's book, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDN3BYX/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8andtag=highhopesinit-20andcreative=9325andlinkCode=as2andcreativeASIN=B07TDN3BYXandlinkId=14b2051a369f24b0dff35a00c0d8ae3f (Expert to Influencer: How To Position Yourself for Meaningful Impact. ) If you find this content valuable and would like access to some cool perks, become a patron, here https://www.patreon.com/talkingllamamedia.

This week marks a very first for the Get Heard Podcast. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dina-brenci-97ab02172/ (Dina Brenci) is a dating coach. How does a dating coach relate to leadership or communication? I'm so glad you asked! Leadership is similar to dating in that to be successful, we must first believe in ourselves. Self limiting beliefs are detrimental to our success in both of these fields. To overcome this, we need to understand that we are unique individuals and not try to be someone else. Be present in the moment! How much of life has passed you by because you were too engaged in social media or not aware of what was going on around you? Dina mentions that when we are communicating with others through text messages, it's so easy to forget that there's a person at the other end who has real, human feelings. How many times do you find yourself communicating with the phone instead of the person on the other end? We also discuss Dating with Scrum. What is it?

https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinmbarba/ (Kevin Barba) is the founder of The Unwavering, a company who specializes in providing various services and educating active duty service members, their spouses and veterans in transitioning to civilian life. Kevin mentions that when applying for a job, it is often times less about what is written on your resume and more about you being a fit to the company's culture. He also states the importance of being proud of your military background (for those of us veterans out there) but understanding that post transition, you are now part of a different culture with different rules. Kevin strongly believes that he would not be where he is today without mentors. He discusses several instances of people believing in him and investing their time into developing him throughout his career.

This week's episode with https://www.linkedin.com/in/meiphing/ (Mei Phing) covers a ton of topics! Mei discusses emotional intelligence (EQ) and how mastering it enables us to better understand our emotions and how they affect others. We also discuss the importance of active listening and the difference between confidence and arrogance. We then go into detail about some of the challenges related to being a young leader in charge of a team with people who are older or more senior to you. One of the ways to overcome this as a young leader is to know your job and be open to feedback. While you may not yet have the most experience, you should know the ins and outs of your job from a technical level so that you can clearly understand what your employees are doing. Asking for feedback is not a sign of weakness! It shows that you are self-aware and approachable. I hope you enjoy this episode and would love if you could leave this podcast a review!

This week, my guest Travis Arnold talks about his experience in public speaking, primarily as a DARE spokesperson in the law enforcement community. Being in front of an auditorium full of adults can be intimidating, but it sounds a lot less stressful than being in front of a crowd full of nine year olds! Travis discusses the public speaking training that was involved when becoming a DARE instructor and gives tips on how to effectively communicate to this unforgiving demographic.
