Leadership is about love and caring

• Great leaders radiate empathy
• Which leads to a sense of responsibility
• Ennobling ideals and enduring values mean more than what many businesses stand for
• We should benchmark leaders based on how many lives they’ve changed, not dollars they’ve made
• Let’s stand for something bigger than success
• We need role models who stand the test of time
• A leader’s job is to make something happen that wasn’t supposed to happen

Writing books

• Painful process
• Takes much longer than you ever thought it would
• Life is more than “making the doughnuts”
• Every day is an act of creation
• It’s something that can have an impact
• “Masterful Coaching” was written in 1995

Guiding principles for a leader

• Find your hero
• Take a stand for something greater than yourself
• Lead with the power of your words
• The power of teams is greater than individuals
• Results now
• Coach rather than cop
• Growth through adversity

Growth through adversity

• Leaders grow through crucible experiences
• Great adversity can lead to transformation
• Harry Truman called his troops back after they ran away
• Character is destiny - Truman studied leaders and battles

Masterful Coaching

• Become the leader your business needs by realizing the impossible future
• Be daring to create a legendary company
• Did you make a difference?
• Great leaders have integrity, empathy, responsibility, drive, humility and self-reflectiveness

Stress

• Stress = (What we seek to control) MINUS (What we can actually control)
• Notice where we focus our attention: is it on things that we control or not?
• Drama comes from focusing on what others do that upset us, rather than looking inward

Conflict

• Stress and conflict can create a vicious cycle
• Interpersonal conflict and intrapersonal still both stem from self
• Other people are indeed problematic, but we don’t have as much control or influence

Influence

• We have most influence over ourselves
• You’re most likely to influence others with lion energy rather than squirrel energy

Change Your Behavior

• Awareness: identify what’s triggering you
• Acceptance: this is where you are because of your decisions, change could involve loss
• Assessment: what will change encompass, what’s necessary?
• Action: put pen to paper and make the change
• Adjustment: assess and change course as needed

Curiosity may be more powerful than certainty

When does storytelling matter?

• Presentations
• Public speaking
• Meetings
• Inspiring others through engagement and connection

Your audience

• Prepare for them
• Who is your audience, specifically?
• What’s your goal?
• What are their questions/concerns?
• What do you want to make them feel?
• Where do you want to lead them?

Grab the audience’s attention by hooking them early

• Do something unexpected
• Engage their curiosity
• Have them do something

Trying something new takes courage

• Watch Ted Talks and strong presenters
• Set your own goals for storytelling
• Be willing to try something and take quick feedback
• Practice on someone in your circle

Non-linear storytelling

• Just because something happened chronologically doesn’t mean that’s the only way to present it
• Lead with an unexpected result
• Tease up front with the most interesting thing
• Have a structure, use transitions, or guideposts
• You don't have to tell every detail!

Imagery in storytelling

• Often we’re too formal
• Use action verbs instead of passive voice
• Think about words that evoke emotion so the audience can relate
• Use analogies that people can envision
