Leading Leaders Podcast with J Loren Norris: Recent Episodes
J Loren Norris
"I grew up with out a father figure in my life but, I started studying leadership on my own when I was a soldier at 20. Today, I recognize there is a DROUGHT of LEADERSHIP globally. Young men have few ethical, morally strong men to model after. I will do everything in my power to share the lessons I learned the hard way and the lessons I have taught to my two sons and seven grandsons."
John Maxwell Certified Coach & Speaker, J Loren Norris, applies life and research to teach practical leadership lessons from government leaders to high school students. 5 minute lessons - 5 days a week
LEADERS APPROACH TRANSITION WITH CAREFUL EXCITEMENT
“Change is an inevitable part of life. Every living being, individual, organization or team must evolve to survive. Not all change is good, but change is to be expected. Some transitions are unavoidable but welcome, some are unpredictable but rewarding, some are dreaded from the first signs. Politics and policies might the origin of transition. New market conditions, changes in economies, evolution of culture can all bring transformation which a leader must navigate. Knowing which direction to pivot, when to make the move, how to land, these are the purview of the leader. Huge risks, high stakes, exhausting stress can bring the best team to the brink. The leader will be tested in this season. The vision will be tested. The team will be tested. Hold on to values, principles, priorities and purpose in the face of change and you will transition well .”

STORYPOWER TV INTERVIEW - NATALIE LAVELOCK WITH J LOREN NORRIS
Can you imagine the looks on their faces when I announced to my friends, family and colleagues that I was planning to walk away from every security I had ever known – a successful career, steady paycheck, health insurance, retirement benefits – everything, to strike out on my own because I felt it was what God was calling me to do!
After months of hard work and a failed first stab at business, I honestly considered going back. But the calling within me was so strong I knew that I had to keep going. I knew that other people needed what I had to share.
And so I pivoted and tweaked and just kept going…and now almost 7 years later I am blessed to run a successful consulting company that allows me to live a life I love, is fully aligned with my faith and my values, and allows me to serve at my highest level. And if that weren’t amazing enough, I get to walk beside other purpose-driven entrepreneurs who are on the same journey. I get the honor of showing them how they, too, can turn their expertise into income and build a business and life they love – whether they are just starting out or taking it to the next level.
I believe, the world is a better place when we are all serving at our highest level.
And the longer I am in business, the more I am convinced that people need a way to break out of the soul sucking mediocrity that threatens to keep them small and squelch the divine spark that resides within. I am convinced that together we can fan that spark into a flame!
I now have the peace and joy of knowing every day I’m walking in my purpose, on purpose, for a purpose!
And you can have that too because when you say “Yes” to what God is calling you to do – no matter how scary it may look, He will provide a way and nothing will be impossible for you!

LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO CHALLENGE THE WAY OTHERS THINK
“Leaders are critical thinkers. There is no idle mind in a leader. When the thoughts which dominate the mind of a leader are trapped in the head of the leader no one benefits. Whether held back because of convention or conviction those thoughts are missed critically. Take time as a leader share your thoughts, review your thoughts, challenge your thoughts and grow your thoughts. Make sure your thoughts are focused on your purpose and your priorities. Make sure your team is applying those thoughts to the purposes and priorities you have assigned to them.”

SPEAKING TRUTH IN A HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT IS A LEADERS OBLIGATION
“Finding the time, the space and the opportunity to share your ideas in a sympathetic crowd seems like the easy part as a leader or professional communicator. In reality, the more hostile the environment to your ideas, philosophies and convictions, the more likely the opportunity will appear. To be prepared for such an invitation, one must be skilled at the verbal tap dance of candor balanced with compassion, plus a delivery of grace tempered grit.”

A GREAT SPEECH OR SPEECH GIVER DOES NOT A GREAT LEADER MAKE
“The relationship between strong communication skills and strong leadership is a paradox. The direct line which states, great leaders must be great communicators is well evidenced. The assumption however, that a great communicator is also a great leader is not foundational in truth. Many slick talking, silver tongued devils have made millions through the art of persuasion, manipulation and ill intent. Skilled communication does not reveal the motives of the heart as readily as one might hope. Have you ever seen the interviews with the notorious Jeffrey Dahmer? Many have said he was attractive, pleasant, engaging to talk to and unsuspecting. His communication skills and his demeanor likely made way for his thirteen years of evil. Rising as a great leader demands mastering the skill of great communication. However, simply mastering the skill of great communication does not make one a leader or worth following.”

LEADERS REQUIRE RELATIONSHIPS EVEN WHEN ISOLATION IS SAFER
“The more a leader trusts people, the more risk they take and the more vulnerable they become. A leader with an enormous circle of friends is a leader at risk. Watch any suspenseful drama you wish from Avengers to Minions from Yellow Stone to Tulsa King and you will see leaders who are constantly testing the veracity of their inner circle. Who shot JR? Who betrayed Kennedy? Who killed Mufasa? It’s always those closest to leadership who can inflict the worst pain. We like to think they won’t. We’re likely to think having close friends and associates is risky business. Why build an inner circle? Why cultivate friendships and mentorships when there is so much to lose? Watch the video…”

LEADERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE ARE RELATED BUT NOT THE SAME
“As leaders we are responsible to many people. We are responsible to customers, the board, any leaders higher on the org chart, our significant others, our children and ultimately to those we lead. Ironically, we are simultaneously responsible FOR none of them. Perhaps in some very specific legal wrangling we can be held accountable for certain behaviors of those we influence. But by and large people have to face their own consequences for the choices they make and actions they pursue. As customers, there are industry standards for quality, performance and delivery. The board expects productivity and profit. The family demands presence and participation. Often, the team we lead begs for perfection. How do you please them all? ”

HEY LEADERS GUARD YOUR PRESSURE POINTS DILIGENTLY
“The vulnerability the masses desire and appreciate comes with transparency and risk. Exposing your weaknesses and humanity as a leader can lead to blind spots being exposed you are not aware of. A great team will know when you have blind spots and your inner circle will expose them only to you. A team member who is not sold out to the team but to self will see those blind spots and exploit them, perhaps even capitalize on them. This sort of betrayal happens at every level of leadership from scouts to the White House, from the sanitation workers to the Royal Guard, from pick up basketball to the NBA. Know your Achilles heal, your natural weaknesses as a human, your personal weaknesses as an individual and your organizational weaknesses as a team. The moment you risk being authentic, vulnerable and transparent, you risk it all. Do so wisely. ”

LEADERS MUST REGULARLY REARRANGE THE FURNITURE IN THEIR MIND or AI WILL
“The notions of AI becoming a major contributor to the body of work we consider intellectual prowess is concerning to me. I won’t call it a fear but a caution. When we consider how often a book or lecture can challenge, shape and redirect our thinking on a subject or relationship it is profound. When our ideas are changed by facts, by others opinions, by others’ emotional experiences because we empathize with a situation we have never lived through, we realize how easily our mind can be changed. We watch a movie, read a novel, study an ancient text and all of our existing biases are unraveled much to our dismay. When we later discover the premise of this life changing revelation was a lie, intentional deception, redirected ire or misguided concern, distrust and frustration are the fruit. For the sake for the future, if you must employ AI, let it be to perform the mundane tasks of dishwashing and sweeping the floor not rewriting the historical and relational texts we all depend on for influence and insights.”

SUCCESS ISN'T PERMANENT - FAILURE ISN'T FATAL - CRITICISM ISN'T CRITICAL
“After 30 years of marriage, I have learned some of the highest praise I can expect from my wife is “ya”. That’s it. Not deep in-depth evaluation and feedback causing deep reflection and life choice reevaluation. Not the kind of responsive, thoughtful, endearing and emotionally invigorating WOO HOO one might long for. Just YA. If I made the mistake of measuring the enthusiasm of her response against others, it could be fatal to my success. Simultaneously, if I accepted every exuberant and exhilarating praise of every commentary about my work, my ideas, my methods as the truth, I might find myself living in a false reality and self adulation. As a leader, as a communicator, please measure the feedback against the qualifications and persona of the critic as well as the validity of the critique. Don’t believe your own press releases or public relations as the most accurate evaluation either. Seek out people who care enough to tell you the truth and know enough to make you better.”

AVERAGE IS AN ATTITUDE LEADERS MUST AVOID
“Call it status quo. Call it getting by. Call it a leisurely pace. Call it what you like, when we approach life with an Eeor attitude, greatness will not hunt us done. Success by any measure you define will not be achieved by someone with an attitude of average. Doing just enough to get the job, keep the job, get the grade or keep the relationship is a recipe for failure. Work ethic is a pejorative these days, but no person whose wealth, accomplishment, societal impact or cultural transformation has been recorded historically could be considered average in either action or attitude. You’re gonna need an attitude of excellence and actions of diligence instead. If you desire to leave an indelible mark of contribution as your legacy any AVERAGE attitude must go.”

“LET’S GRAB LUNCH” IS A LEADERSHIP DECLARATION AND A FADING TRADITION
“The idea of comfort and its relationship to the familiar is so subtle it’s almost subconscious. The nostalgic feel of gathering around the family dinner table to share a meal and recap the day together is a lost art. As I see the list of restaurants closing their doors, some of them for good, I recognize a similar quality in most of them. ATMOSPHERE. The family dining model, which was made popular in places like Kentucky Fried Chicken Cracker Barrel, Red Lobster, Denny’s, and many more. This no small thing. Culture has shifted. Traditions have been abandoned. Expectations are vanishing. There is an economic impact for sure. Learning the art of good service, the value of a first job, and the opportunities to start an entrepreneurial venture with some sense of security; gone with the closures. These are both warning signs and reminders like the garage door entry from the alley, the vanishing of the front stoop or wrap around porch, the soda counter or malt shop all of these are a diminishing of the strength of community. Many locals don’t even gather for church anymore - we can just watch online. It takes the devastation of a storm or months of mandated ‘house arrest’ styled confinement for communities to come together face to face. Please, do not relegate leadership, community, communication to AI bots and virtual meetings. Remember what it means to gather around a campfire and share stories of freedom.”

WHEN THEY CAN’T SEEM TO FOLLOW BASIC INSTRUCTIONS - LEAD WITH CLEAR INTENT
“When I was younger, even before joining the military I would be regularly accused of ‘over thinking things’. I would be given an assignment and my brain would go to work instantly, not always correctly, but instantly on working out a solution. Simultaneously my brain would begin looking for alternatives to whatever prescribe method of completing the task had been proposed or in their mind, directed, instructed, commanded and expected. My brain was looking for challenges, problems and potential pitfalls. I was not instructed to do that. Many of my teachers, bosses, leaders, coaches wanted to know if I could or would simply ‘follow the instructions given’. In other words would I comply, or would I think freely? This was not just an issue when I was young, the compliance test is on going even now. Leaders must lead with integrity and clear intent not manipulation.”

OPINIONS ARE AS CONTAGIOUS AS ATTITUDES - WISDOM IS NOT
“If you ask enough random people the same question you will discover the vast diversity of human thought. If you ask a group of friends the same question you will more likely discover the power of group think. This reality is a leadership issue. Great leaders work diligently to inspire, motivate and educate the groups of people they lead. They also understand the challenge this phenomenon represents when another influencer drives the narrative in their group or team. Whether traditional media, social media or more localized personal influence the impact of a disruptive intent can be disastrous. If you lead, lead the narrative not just the people.”

6 WINDOWS EVERY LEADER NEEDS TO SEE THROUGH STORYPOWER
“It is way too easy to get stuck in one’s own story, problems, issues, pain and details. When a leader or communicator is overly focused on delivering their story with power and drama, they may lose the impact they desired to have on the crowd. Taking time to perceive your story through the eyes, heart and mind of the audience and those who made the opportunity possible will shift the perspective drastically. This video will create a framework of six windows to shift your perspective and refocus your view through the lens of storypower.”

4 FACES OF A GREAT STORY - HOW MANY WAYS A STORY COULD BE USED TO ENGAGE AND INFORM
“Many people struggle to use stories in a talk, a presentation or significant leadership conversation. They struggle because they are concerned that a story might seem too fluffy, soft or warm and not a demonstration of competence. A well selected story can fill in many gaps. A well crafted story can carry many themes, ideas, examples and instructions without becoming overly pushy or academic. A well selected, well crafted, well delivered story connects deeply and allows the information to settle and remain in the memory of an audience. In this video you will hear of and see demonstrated four basic story faces communicators should consider when choosing the story to tell.”

“After experiencing my own set of hardships, I know the power a photograph can have in showing us that no matter what we are going through, life is still beautiful, and everything really can be a grace. You being here already makes you special to me!
Whether you’re a sweatpants and messy bun or heels and lashes kinda person (maybe even both like me!), I want you to feel seen. Your story matters and I love capturing authentic images that stir the heart.”

HEY LEADER YOUR STORY IS ABOUT YOUR AUDIENCE - NOT YOU - HERE’S HOW
“For more than a decade I have been helping leaders and communicators from all walks of life deliver messages with lasting impact. The way communication varies in intent, purpose and delivery might seem indistinguishable to many, but when you’re in the audience a story is very clearly ‘for you’ our not. The speaker who makes THEIR STORY all about them might tell a great story about a great life lived or a tragic event overcome and that’s a powerful demonstration of skill. However, the speaker, leader, communicator who tells a story the audience can see, feel and experience themselves in will connect deeper with a greater probability of bringing transformation to the lives of those in the audience. In this video I will reveal six essential qualities every communicator must weave into their storytelling to be most effective.”

‘JUST GET OVER IT’ SHOULD NOT BE THE ATTITUDE OF ANY LEADER IN NTHE FACE OF INJUSTICE
“There is a war raging right under your nose and you might be unaware, you might be immune, you might be inoculated or you might be involved. It is not a new war. It is not a war without casualties, expenses or long term consequences. It is a war of attrition via loss of will and manipulation. It is a war of attitudes. It is a war fought in every plane of society from kindergarten through internal corporate politics and foreign relations. It is scandalous. It is horrendous. It is subtle. It must be called out. Watch and share this video. Add your own experience in the comments via text or video.”

6 STORIES EVERY LEADER NEEDS TO CRAFT TO GROW THEIR BUSINESS AND INFLUENCE

RESILIENCE IS AN ESSENTIAL ATTITUDE OF LEADERSHIP - THE PAYOFF IS SUCCESS
“A leader who stares down the barrel of failure and does not tremble is stalwart. A leader who remains determined in the face of delay will see the reward of completion in due time. A leader who takes the blows of criticism in stride along side lavish adulation with no notable change in demeanor exhibits the character required for greatness. A leader who is self controlled in their emotion when all the world seems against them possesses the attitude required to succeed. A leader who masters these and the sticktuitness to face every trial with courage to press on will be known by all for their resilience.”

AGILITY IS A KEY ASPECT OF LEADERSHIP DIRECTLY RELATED TO DEFERENCE
“The ability to bob and weave so to speak with the movement of markets, manpower and manufacturing is a required skill of leaders. A great business plan is a well crafted game plan for sales strategy, marketing tactics, and hiring goals. Even the best prepared business plan is still subject to the Mike Tyson philosophy, ‘Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.’ Agility is the ability to change ones mind, change ones plan and change ones course when new or better information is presented convincingly. The arrogant, narcissistic leader will struggle with this level of self awareness.”

THINKING AND ACTING SYSTEMICALLY IS LEADERSHIP NOT MANAGEMENT
“ What is the difference between systematically and systemically? In simplest terms, something described as systematic uses or follows a system, while something described as systemic is part of, or is embedded in, the system itself.(per Google) In other words, management is the application of systematic processes of thinking, controlling and conducting business. Leadership is influencing the system itself, specifically the system of people, their thoughts, behaviors, values and worldviews. Leadership must be systemic, effecting the entire system, culture and character of the organization itself. Like a virus’s, diseases or altered DNA, every portion of this system is impacted or infected by the presence of leadership for better or for worse. Be better.”

LEADERS WHO LACK SELF AWARENESS ARE LIKE RELATIONAL WRECKING BALLS
“No one wants to believe they are selfish, self centered, self focused. We all know that one leader who simply does not see the challenges and struggles they create for others in their sphere of influence. When a leader is unable to see or acknowledge their own flaws, they become problematic, yet look for everyone else to change to solve the problem. Self awareness is the key. Invite feedback from qualified people. Listen to the familiar criticisms and measure the value of their merit. Ask questions, consider the feelings of others and measure those against the bottom line. In short, being a better leader means first being a better human.”

COMMUNICATION IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF GREAT LEADERSHIP
George Bernard Shaw said: “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place”.
I find that all levels of leadership hinge on the ability to transfer ideas, transforms behaviors and transmute productivity and none of these happen without effective communication. Too many people have a false sense of security, success and competence in the area of communication. A bravado which believes talking is easy for me, therefore I must be good at it. An introvert may feel completely petrified causing them to be more selective with what they say, when they say it and how they say it. The result is often, not always, their cautious intent produces significantly more clear communication.”

INFLUENCE - BUILDING IT AND WIELDING IT
“It amazes me what passes for influence in this generation. Even the label influencer has been hijacked for use in a purely commercially measurable way. Looking back on my life, some of my greatest influencers were known by less than a couple dozen people. Some of the influencers in my life are of world acclaim, both historical and present. Yet it would seem that they were mostly determined to bring about social and personal transformation. Notoriety was the end result not the predetermined goal. Building commercially viable influence is formulaic. You can literally pay to become a ‘best selling author’ or top celebrity. This influence buying service is a cottage industry on its own. It is just as easy to gain 15 minutes of fame and notoriety through criminal behavior. Its is also very popular to peddle influence in halls of political power.

6 KEY SKILLS OF EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP IN 2024
“Leadership requires many facets of competency and skill. Much of the nature of a leader is personality, character and integrity meaning it’s the inner person, the who that you are. Much of the role of a leader requires skills which must be developed, honed and regularly sharpened. John C Maxwell’s #1 Bestselling Book of all time on Leadership, touts 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. His is not the only book on leadership, obviously. However, a truly competent and effective leader will have a mastery of at minimum these six skills.”

STRATEGY IN THE HAND OF A LEADER BECOMES PROVABLE PRODUCTIVE ACTION
“The chain of custody for WHY AND HOW WE DO WHAT WE DO looks like this: Vision > Mission > Strategy > Tactics > Goals > Objectives > Assignments > Tasks > Actions Taken > Performance Review. Managers consider and over see systems, processes and tools to ensure each level of this progression remains in tact and functioning smoothly. Leaders are responsible for the people, the motivations, intrinsic and extrinsic, the execution and the follow up. Leaders must align the quality of action taken with the expectation of goals established as measured by the movement toward defined vision. In the end, everyday decisions seem small and irrelevant until they prove counter productive to the stated mission. That’s when menial tasks are recognized for the futility they are and not the essential functions they were meant to accomplish.”

HOW DOES A LEADER BUILD COMMITMENT IN A TEAM?
“Loyalty in many circles is a thing of the past. There once was an expectation of working from apprentice to pension in one company or at least in one industry. The idea of living in the same house until it was paid off and the kids had gone off to college was also the norm. Having the same spouse, same friends, same social circle, that’s just the way things were. Then came the notion of upward mobility, gentrification, redistribution, redlining, and then social contagions altered the expectations of the masses through media manipulation and government policies both locally and nationally - now globally. In a nutshell, selfish ambition and personal immediate gratification have replaced longevity and loyalty. It seems gone are the days of COMMITMENT except to self. So leaders, let’s start there… watch the video and tell me your thoughts.”

HOW TO LEAD INCLUSIVELY - IS IT A TRICK QUESTION?
“It is an observation as a leader that humans are emotive creatures. Humans desire affirmation, appreciation and acknowledgment. Leaders who practice these things, inherently practice what would truly fit the definition of inclusivity. The idea that leaders must look for anomalies, uniqueness of characters, outliers in thought or behavior to offer specific, additional attention and affirmation strikes me as detour from the simplest of good character traits. Treat EVERYONE the way you want to be treated. If leaders do this, inclusivity is the natural result not a program which needs launched with millions of dollars and government policies.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST STEWARD CLARITY IN TIMES OF UNCERTAINTY
“Lack of clarity leads to a lack of motivation, lack of inspiration, lack of direction and a lack of team cohesion. When a leader is unclear on the vision of an organization (whether unclear as to what it is or simply unclear in expressing it) the established goals to achieve the vision will be equally unclear. Unclear goals, undefinable goals are unachievable goals. In times of ambiguity and uncertainty outside the organization, a team will be strongest when the leader gains and articulates clarity for the team. This includes vision, mission, goals, assignments, future direction, outcomes, values and operating principles. Take time to clear your thoughts, exercise your expressions and define terms everyone can understand.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MAINTAIN RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF COMPLEX PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY DO HARD THINGS
“Leaders who tackle complex issues in business, relationships and their own personal growth must learn to become and remain resilient. The most important skill one must master as a resilient leader is the willingness and discipline to DO HARD THINGS. Make hard choices, take hard risks, build hardened attitudes, reinforce and stand firm on core values… now that’s hard. True success is much like investing in this way. Short term gains tend to fade, long term gains require short term sacrifice.” J Loren Norris

HOW LEADERS CREATE GENUINE CONNECTIONS
“Building relationships requires commitment, intentionality and a great deal of compassion. Leaders who try to manage and manipulate the outcomes of every relationship for their own gain will find themselves very lonely at the top. Leaders who learn to nurture, encourage, promote and support those around them will become magnetic in their ever growing spheres of influence. Service leads to access - access to relationship - relationship to opportunity. If those get out of order of priority leadership can become a disaster.” J Loren Norris

HOW TO LEAD FROM THE MIDDLE
“The way to the top as a leader can be a veritable mine field. One wrong move, one unacceptable comment, one failed relationship and you’re cancelled. The ability to be promoted, advanced, recognized or even accepted could come to an abrupt halt. In many large companies and institutions the culture has become simply toxic. There are programs, departments, alphabet initiatives to level the playing field and yet navigating ‘the playing field’ is much more like roller blading on a tilt-a-whirl, unstable and unpredictable. Leading from the middle requires a new skill set along with massive amounts of effort and intentionality.”

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES - BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN YOUR TEAM
“IMHO - As well as my 35 plus years of leadership in varying capacities there is one tool for leadership development which goes largely under utilized. When deployed, this tool raises morale, inspires action, motivates teams and incentivizes productive attitudes leading to productive behaviors. If you want to know what this one tool is… watch the video.”

LEADERS MUST GUARD THEIR WORDS AS DILIGENTLY AS THEIR INNER CIRCLE
“The value of a re-quotable quote is exponential in the economy of marketing. Quotes, sound bites, memorable ideas are like social media memes, easy to recall, recount and regurgitate. The more a leader is quoted, the more social clout they may garner. The more social clout, the greater the influence (as measure by attention and volume). However, the crowd will have one of three reactions to your crafty quotes and sound bites. Hearers will quote them often, misquote them intentionally, or build their life around them as absolute truth - even when the leader’s intent was nothing more than a humorous quip. Leader, guard your quips like you guard your friends both will determine your future.”

LEADERSHIP, THE ECLIPSE AND OTHER TYRANNICAL DISTRACTIONS
“I don’t want for a single moment to underestimate the magnitude of the ‘once in a lifetime’ event known as a total solar eclipse. Nor do I want to make light of a personal tragedy, an economically life changing event, or a global crisis such as wars and famines. However, these are generally speaking everyday events which demand attention they do not warrant. Let me say it another way - a tyranny of the urgent, panic porn, a slow news cycle all have the ability to draw attention from what truly needs a leaders focused effort.”

A LEADERS VALUE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PROBLEMS THEY SOLVE
“Regardless the salary offered, the size of the team, the annual revenues, the value of an executive leader is found in their skill level at solving problems. From Lea Iacocca to Jack Welch, from JFK to Ronald Regan some of the greatest leaders in history have a reputation based on the challenges presented to them as they took the helm in contrast to their ability to solve them. The same is true of your leadership role, capacity and value. It is directly affixed to your problem solving skills.”

LEADERSHIP DEMANDS THE FACTS BE RESEARCHED, DETERMINED, CONSIDERED AND APPLIED
“Facts and issues are not the same. Facts and emotions are not the same. Facts and opinions are not the same. Facts are not friendly, biased or selective. Facts are often misused, disguised, hidden, misrepresented and even lied about. Facts are sometimes hard to discover and hard to come to terms. However, leaders are required to do diligent research and honest evaluation of the data and then apply the results even if they ruffle feathers. When the data is counter intuitive, counter productive, counter culture or simply not to our liking, leaders must devise strategies to change the cause of the data.”

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT BEGINS AND ENDS WITH WHO
“Build a better mousetrap used to be the core belief of capitalism and entrepreneurship. In more recent years, Speed to market became the mantra. Not just is it better, but will it be available sooner? Next came the digital age, marketing and promotion changed in nature, cost and efficiency. Then the Information Age, when knowledge became the hottest commodity. Now we find ourselves facing the virtual world of virtual real estate, digital currency and artificial intelligence. One thing has not changed yet. Leaders lead people. People produce your products, deliver your services, manage your staff, negotiate your sales, manage your business finances.”

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - SEASONS OF CHANGE CHALLENGE CHARACTER
“Few things pull on the fibers of a leaders character than change which lies outside their control. Economic change, global political change, personal changes we did not choose are all contending for energy, attention, focus and finances. Strong leaders will return to their core values in these times to find their grounding and consistency on solid ground. Weak leaders who mostly go with the flow will feel like a rubber dingy in high seas. Hold on and hope is the best advice they can give.”

BALANCE TEACHING WITH STORY WHEN DEPLOYING STORYPOWER AS A TEACHING TOOL
“The desire to convey information, shape ideas, transform the quality of another’s life and circumstance generally drive the compunction to take the mic, ascend the platform, write the book or stand in front of the camera. Simply said, speakers speaker, writers write to convey life changing ideas. Stories are the best carries of those ideas IMHO. There must be a balance between the teaching part of transferring knowledge and the story part of transferring ideas or imagination. Subtlety has significant value in the buy in of mature understanding. Experience which synthesizes deep understanding, delivered in a story carries water a long distance through both time and space.”

STORYPOWER COACHING - I CAN TELL YOUR STORY EXERCISE FROM WAY BACK WHEN
“The practice of StoryPower storytelling is formulaic. Once the principles are established the process is duplicatable. Telling someone else’s story back for them is possible because their formula is consistent and what changes are the elements of each persons history or experience. Watch this clip to see the StoryPower formula in action.”

STORYPOWER REQUIRES EFFECTIVE PRACTICE TO MASTER THE ART FORM
“Practice does not make perfect, but it will make permanent. If a speaker, leader, trainer picks up bad habits in their communication style the odds are these habits will stick with them for a while. Practicing the dexterity of vocabulary, enunciation and intonation are critical skills for effective communication. Adding pauses, emotional reflection, and proper pacing in a story bring it to life in a way that narrating the same story cannot. Take the time to rewatch the rehearsal. Listen back to the laugh lines. Reflect on the recollections recounted within your story and ask are they real, right and relevant. Repeating the story 100 times will help you memorize it, but if you are not looking to master these other details a memorized story could still land flat.”

PRACTICING STORIES YOU HAVE LIVED THROUGH SEEMS REDUNDANT - IT IS ESSENTIAL
“It might seem silly to rehearse telling a story you lived through. However, it is far too easy to ad lib when you feel confident no one knows the story like you do. I recently heard a speech where the speech giver quoted some very specific stats and then repeated them later in the speech differently, then said, ‘look it up.’ Even when the details are not publicly verifiable data, there is still a chance you will tell the story again and someone will hear something different. This is only one of many reason you should rehearse, record and replay your own personal stories before taking them to stage.”

TELL A STORY - MAKE A POINT - CALL THEM TO ACTION
“As a leader, communicator or influencer the expectation of the audience is for you to have a new idea, a new direction and a new strategy. Speakers who tell a story and make no point only confuse the audience regardless how entertaining the story is, unless they are comedians, even then a punchline is a point of sorts. The best leaders and communicators bring more than a point, they bring a new strategy. When the story delivers the message and the point is clear, the next step is to call them to act in order to experience the results, transformation, or change your story points to.”

STORYPOWER COACHING WITH KRISTINA KNOWLES (SPMC 2020)
“The heart of a story can get lost in the details. The ability for the communicator to get the point across, to connect emotionally, to identify the problem and present an effective solution in as free words as possible is a skill set which demands much discipline. There are techniques and tools for storytelling which make this possible. Making time and energy to study, practice and apply them is the work of the storyteller.”

STORY MINING: OH THE STORIES WE TELL WHICH SHOULD BE KEPT INSIDE
“So many lessons to learn in life. So many instances of laughter, sadness, revelation, discovery and contemplation with stories worthy of sharing. Many people I coach have a gift of gab, but not the gift of shut up, listen and converse, just gab. They are good with starting a story, filling it with useless details, occupying a load of emotional space and filling time with word salads, but having a genuine conversation seems over the top. I believe part of the problem is, they don’t know WHICH story is relevant in the moment, crucial to the topic at hand, impactful for the audience (1 0r 1,000) and invested in with proper preparation, so they tell them all… as one. The solution is creating an intentional strategy for story mining.”

THREE E’S OF CREDIBILITY WHEN SELECTING THE STORIES YOU TELL
“I am confident you have heard someone deliver a story, anecdote or joke you had heard previously. I am also confident you have heard the same story told better, delivered more passionately, conveyed with exquisite comedic timing or emotional dramatic effect. Those aspects are hard to compete with when so many people have told the same story. When you have the 3 E’s your story will not have to compete in these areas. When you have the 3 E’s no one questions your credibility. When you have the 3 E’s you will be well on you way to tell better stories better.”

STORYPOWER - A JOURNEY FROM CLIMAX TO CONCLUSION
“Many people who use stories in their keynote, webinar or teaching employ the story or deploy the story as a mechanism of time filler or solely for entertainment. There is nothing wrong with that strategy per se. However, a story which serves as a connecting tool will likely serve as an illustration, an anecdote, a metaphor or an allegory. When this is the case, the communicator must have an idea where they are leading the audience before the journey begins. Otherwise the mental customer journey will likely represent the flight of the moth and not the flight of the butterfly.”

WHERE TO BEGIN WHEN TELLING A STORY FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT
“The most frustrating aspect of listening to someone else’s story has to be trying to follow a timeline or course of events with which you are not familiar. Communicators who back up, start over or circle back too many times can be as confusing as those who start ‘too early’ in the story and fill time with irrelevant details. There is a ‘best place to begin’ and we will discuss it in this episode.”

STORYPOWER COACHING FROM SPMC 2021 SHAUNA BOYD - ITS ALL IN THE DETAILS
“We talked about word pictures and how they can become a trigger. We talked about painting an emotional scene. We talked about bringing the audience into a moment or incident they can see themselves in as well. There is a fine balance between too much and too little detail in a story. The amount of time allowed for telling or relating a story has a direct bearing on how much or how little detail to include. The impact of detail varies within the story but should never be overlooked.”

WORD CHOICE IN STORIES REVEAL YOUR ATTITUDE AND WORLDVIEW LIKE IT OR NOT
“You might have noticed the moment in a conversation which a the other person chose to use a word or phrase you were not familiar with. Perhaps you asked them to back up and explain or define the word, perhaps you ignored the word while trying to place it through remaining context, perhaps you simply pretended to know the meaning of the word. Often people will hear a word and immediately play a subconscious game of word association while trying to determine how they should feel about the word you just used. This subconscious chatter can be the undoing of the communicator if they are not intentional about their word choice.”

PRACTICE NEVER MAKES PERFECT - SOMETIMES IT MAKES PROGRESS - IT ALWAYS MAKES PERMANENT
“I am unaware of the origin of the axiom ‘practice make perfect’ however sufficient evidence has been considered to declare in my life it is simply not true. Repeated action does not improve performance if the repeated action is flawed to begin with and no correction is added. Progress can be made when correction is considered then applied but this requires discipline and coach-ability. What has proven true so far is this: you will become what you repeatedly do. Practice poorly or incorrectly and the results will be evident in every aspect of your life.”

TRUST IS DESTROYED WHEN YOUR WORD PICTURE BECOMES A TRIGGER
“It is truly amazing to observe a communicator who is convinced the power of their story will reach to the depths of the psyche of every listener in the exact same way. Some people receive and process information more rapidly. Others apply outside knowledge or information to comprehend a matter rather than their own experiences. Yet others still can only seem to process the world of new information through the lens of their own past tragedy, pain or joy. In the later case, any detailed word picture can become an emotional trigger breaking trust and building barriers not bridges of communication.”

THERE IS A SINGULAR PHRASE RATTLING AROUND IN YOUR IDEAL CUSTOMERS HEAD - IT MUST BE IN YOUR STORY TOO
“Often the experiences which try to break us are also the ones in which we share the most common ground with others. A similar journey leads to similar emotional experiences. These experiences create a common expressions, common phrases, common reactions. When this phrase is uttered, the emotional connection floods back to memory. A speaker, leader, or coach who shares this phrase and identifies with the pain or struggle it entails will resonate deeply with an audience. The same communicator who can also offer a solution to the struggle, an answer to the question, a remedy for the pain will become a hero. Embed that phrase in the content of your story, in the proper context and watch your influence rise like never before.”

A WELL TOLD STORY REQUIRES AN INVESTMENT FROM STORYTELLER AND LISTENER
“Whether in business, family relationship or social gathering, the telling of stories always seeks a result. Perhaps the ask is as simple a transaction a laugh, a dance, an agreement or as complicated as a complete redirection of life. Perhaps the ask is on the magnitude of a financial commitment, a political shift or world peace. Either way a well selected and well told story demands something of both sides. StoryPower insists on the clear intention in the construction of the story in order for the request to be both clear and justified or reasonable. In short, a great story will cost you something so tell better stories better.”

RETELLING NADIA’S STORY AT STORYPOWERMASTERCLASS 2022
“Every incident in life has the opportunity to teach us something. Every relationship in life will I bring highs and lows. Every decision in life has the potential to redirect the course of our destiny. Every one of these are moments worth revisiting, recounting, and retelling. The wisdom gleaned from our triumphs and tragedies can transform the lives of strangers and loved ones alike. The more we invest in the story, from a commitment to understand and deliver it, the more impact it will have. No one knows your story like your know your story, but with a little help and perspective we can all tell better stories better.”

LEARN HOW LEADERS USE STORYPOWER TO BECOME GREATER INFLUENCERS
“Stories are used in many ways and many forms of communication. The depth to which leaders lead is directly related to the magnitude of their influence. The magnitude of their influence is directly tied to the ability for their stories to be accepted, received, related to, recalled and retold. The better the story, the better chance these things hold true. If you want to grow your leadership, grow your influence. If you want to grow your influence, tell better stories better.”

WELL TOLD STORIES ARE THE GREATEST TOOLS FOR LASTING IMPACT
“There will always be details within a story which carry the emotional weight of long term memory. When a properly selected story is told well, that story has the power of stickiness. It becomes a story made to travel. Understanding some of the aspects of human relationships which carry the greatest triggers for memory and emotional anchoring, should be one of the most important side jobs of any communication expert.”

STORYPOWER IS BEST VIEWED THROUGH AN AVATAR WINDOW
“Telling stories for the point of connecting with an audience requires at minimum a concern and compassion for who is in the audience. Speakers, trainers, storytellers who come only with the story as they lived it, only through the lens of their own perspective do a disservice to the well being of the audience. Not to mention the risk of offending and thereby alienating the people with whom they to desire. Watch the video to understand what an avatar window is and how to use it so you can tell better stories better.”

SET THE SCENE OF THE STORY IN A WAY PEOPLE RECALL HAVING BEEN THERE
“Setting the scene is not the same a s painting a word picture but it is very, very close. Take the time to create a space people can recall either from their own past, or at least in their imagination for the length of your story. In theater they call it staging and blocking. Because body language, character positioning and interactions all say more than the words the characters are speaking it is an efficient use of your time. Setting the scene saves words, creates a lasting impression, anchors the story in the memory of your audience and gives your point the stickiness of a traveling seed.”

STORYPOWER COACHING DEMONSTRATION - FROM ROCK THE STAGE 2022
“Using a story which seems unrelated to connect buyers with sellers is an art form. It doesn’t always happen on the first try. Sometime the story must be reconsidered. Sometimes the redrafted story is powerful at connecting, but not true to the moment nor authentic to the storyteller. This coaching demonstration was live at an event with no previous knowledge or relationship between myself and the participant. The retold story has great aspects to it but there is much more that could be done given more time coaching.”

“The moment your story abandons the audience, the audience abandons your story. It is far too easy to tell a story which looks and sounds real but isn’t.

CHARACTERS IN YOUR ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTIC STORY MUST LOOK LIKE THE AUDIENCE YOU SERVE
“Your target audience, your ideal client, the people in the chairs you are speaking to must be able to relate and resonate with the people in the story you’re telling. If your story, the one you have selected to tell to make this point, does not include people who look like them, shares their world view, honors their values, you may have their attention, but not their buy in. This look alike expectation is a call for a demographic, psychographic and philosophical alignment. Only you can choose a story to tell which meets this expectation.”

IT’S YOUR STORY BUT ITS NOT ABOUT YOU IF YOU TELL IT RIGHT
“If you have ever been in the audience when a masterful communicator uses a well selected and well crafted story, you feel like they have been reading your mail. They seem to have been spying on the secret events and emotions of your life because the story sounds like they are recounting your personal experience. The human experience is not so unique as it turns out. The value buried in the experience is the lesson learned through the pain. A great communicator has learned and rehearsed helping people to recall their pain in search of a solution. Using a well told story they deliver the solution they discovered to overcome the pain of the problem. In the end, the story is not about you, I just includes you as the allegory.”

STORYPOWER IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO ACQUIRE THE EXPENSIVE COMMODITY IN BUSINESS
“This truth is undeniable, unavoidable and indispensable. If you are in business of any sort, ministry of any sort, government of any sort and no one knows who you are, you’re more likely to close up shop than to grow. The most expensive commodity in business is not raw materials and it is not Human Resources. The most valuable and most expensive commodity in business is attention. Without which there is no business growth and no survival. StoryPower deployed well is the most effective and most efficient means to gain and maintain attention by far.”

AUTHENTICITY IS A CHARACTER TRAIT NOT A PLOT LINE
“As a reader of stories, a watcher of stories, a hearer of stories you know for the most part what is made up and what is factual. You also know, if you have a shred of dignity, a whisper of integrity, a modicum of morality when you are practicing deceit in your own stories. Believe me when I say, our world is filled with more than enough manipulative storytelling, propagandizing, and misleading information. What we need more of is leaders who possess and demonstrate authenticity with integrity in their communication. This begins with the stories you choose to tell.”

THE PURPOSE AND POWER OF AN ORIGINAL STORY
“We have all witnessed the person living vicariously through another. Usually its a parent who’s athletic career ended too soon, they have out lived the glory days and need the attention again or they just never measured up to the talent and skill of their kids. Sometimes this vicarious nature comes in leadership by association. A person doesn’t really have the power, knowledge, skills, training but they are close friends with someone who does. Rather than speak of their own less than enthralling life experiences, they tell stories they have heard from others. Often, telling them so many times, they believe them to be their own stories. When discovered this damages credibility beyond repair.”

LEAD AFRAID - WHEN FEAR IS ALL YOU HAVE YOU STILL HAVE TO LEAD
“New seasons of life and leadership often bring with them great fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of missing out when allowed to dominate your thoughts will prevent you from pressing forward into a brilliant future. If your future can be stolen by fear, or even delayed by fear, you may never experience the most powerful opportunity of your life. When fear comes, take it as a sign you’re moving in the right direction. Gather your bravest team members, seek the wisdom of those who have been here before, grit your teeth and lead into the fear. When you conquer the fear, the future will be twice as bright.” J Loren Norris

THE BEST LEADERS LEAD IN THE DARK
“Before the sun is up, do the road work. Early risers get ahead start on the day so they can lead the day. When you can’t see what’s next, keep leading. When something is hidden from you like gifts before Christmas, keep leading. When the best ideas seem elusive to your best efforts, keep leading. What you learn in the light, take it into the dark with you. What you learn in the dark will change what you know in the light, keep leading.” J Loren Norris

PRACTICE THE POWER OF POIGNANT BREVITY
“Time is short and quickly evaporating. The hope of communication is to share your ideas in a way which carries them forward in the emotion and imagination of others. In order for a leader to influence, their ideas must be palatable, worthy of repeating and capable of producing transformation at an individual, societal and cultural level. If the message take too long to be delivered the attention span, the speed of life and the value of time are obstacles to receiving it. Communicators must learn the power of poignant brevity.” J Loren Norris

IF YOUR TEAM IS A MESS, TRY THANKING THEM
“Most leaders can find trouble where none exists. Leaders can predict and pre-ject the behavior of team mates with great regularity and horrible accuracy. Humans tend to find what they’re looking for in all circumstances, relationships and opportunities. The person who seeks a growth opportunity will find one. The person who seeks rejection by others will find it. The person who seeks a compliment will find one, it may not be genuine, but they know how to evoke a compliment if that’s what feeds their soul. A person who seeks to be lonely, left out and lost will find themselves on the outside looking in. A leader who seeks the best performance, attitude and outcome will also find it. Seek these things by saying thank you for them even before you see them happen and you will expedite the opportunity to find them.” J Loren Norris

STUNTS AND ACTIONS FOR SAKE OF ATTENTION ARE NOT LEADERSHIP EVEN IF THEY ARE INFLUENCE
“I am a consistent evangelist for the notion ‘Leadership is influence, nothing more nothing less.’ John Maxwell. I am also a firm supporter of the idea that attention getting is not always branding. Some balance must be struck between marketing and seeking attention for attention sake. Trevor Jacob is going to pay a heavy marketing price for attention seeking. WIIFM is a truth of human psychology, especially in sales. That does not mean it is healthy as an operating principle.“ J Loren Norris

GRATITUDE IS THE SECRET WEAPON OF LEADERSHIP
“It is uncommon to encounter people who are truly grateful for every event and circumstance in their life. Most humans have good days as well as bad days. Life tends to offer both reasons to celebrate and reasons to scream in frustration, anger, pain or remorse. To say otherwise is to lie. However, these events in life do not choose the attitude a leader lives with, the leader does. If one understands the emotional, energetic, magnetic and cosmic power of the attitude of gratitude, they also understand the weapon it is and how to wield it in times of trouble.” J Loren Norris

WHO GIVES YOU ADVICE LEADER? COACH, MENTOR OR TORMENTOR?
“The value of unsolicited advice is generally equal to the cost on the invoice. Solicited advice will often cost you more than the invoice indicates. The most expensive advice is never sought, never received, never accepted and never applied. The lack of advice creates pricey learning opportunities. These moments can be the end of your business, your career or your freedom. Seeking advice is wise. Wisdom is also required to determine from whom you seek advice.“ J Loren Norris

ONE LEADER’S FRUSTRATION IS ANOTHER’S GENIUS
“The ability to admit weakness is largely underestimated in the world of leadership. It is however a critical component of a leader’s success and therefore a team’s success. A leader who attempts to manage every area of a project, every task, every role, every assignment and get all the work done single handedly is a leader who will burn out quickly. They will get nothing done with excellence. A leader who recognizes their own genius and frustration will likely recognize it in their team as well and reassign takes accordingly to maximize effectiveness, competencies and proficiency. This is the true meaning of diversity.“ J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO REFUSE TO HEAR FEEDBACK ARE CALLED T*&^%TS
“If a leader insists on blind followers, undeniably loyal subjects and unquestioning submission it is a red flag and should be cause for alarm. Even parents who lead with an iron first and refuse to admit wrong are unhealthy. When leaders conspire together to influence, control and manipulate mass groups of people, entire segments of a given population or those they deem less worthy the world must take notice. This egomaniacal tomfoolery is not good leadership. It is instead the making of tin pot t*&^%ts and it must be called out for what it is. Their dark hearted motive has not changed in 5,000 years, just the tools they use to accomplish their goals.“ J Loren Norris

TIMING IS IS EVERYTHING AS A LEADER
“The one time not on your smart watch, not on the calendar, not on the nuclear clock at Grenhich is DUE TIME. No one can tell you when that is until it happens. In leadership there is a time for everything. Due time seems to rest right on the other side of hard work, persistence, doing it until you feel like quitting and doing it a little bit more than makes sense. DUE TIME is when opportunities arise from no where, when success sneaks up on life, when suddenly everything shifts for the better. But it takes patience, diligence and perseverance to get through hard times and into due time. “ J Loren Norris

LEADING IS AN ACT OF FAITH ESPECIALLY AS A TRAILBLAZER
“It is hard enough to lead when following in the footsteps of giants. Just getting a group of people of any size to seek a common vision, move in a common direction, strive for common goals is likened to herding feral cats. Leading this same group where there is not so much as a trail to follow is a whole different endeavor. Leading like this requires faith. Trust in the heart of the leader, the motives of the leader and the intuition of the leader are required for followers. If you are the leader, it will require faith in an unseen hand of providence to guide where few have been.“ J Loren Norris

THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT DAYS IN ANY LEADERS LIFE ARE…
“Every leader has a journey of their own. A journey of growth, maturity, discovery, adventure and purpose. Often the most challenging part of that journey is the pursuit of purpose. In fact Search For Significance is one of the best known books in modern psychology and personal development. John Maxwell says, ‘The two greatest days in anyone’s life are the day they’re born and the day they discover why.’ This discovery is purpose and it should be the passionate pursuit of every leader to help everyone they lead to discover their why, then grow into it.“ J Loren Norris

LEADERS DON’T WORRY THEY STRATEGIZE
“Undesirable moments in life are inevitable. There will always be a circumstance, an incident, a tragedy beyond our control which directly impacts the work we do and the people we lead or care about most. Spending ample time to understand the incident, to analyze its cause and to prevent if possible its reoccurrence is the responsibility of a leader. Obsessing over the potentiality of the same or similar event coming again is called worry and that is no one’s role or benefit.” J Loren Norris

CANDOR LEADS WHERE CARE EXISTS - WITHOUT CARE CANDOR CAN BE CRUEL
“It is far too easy to speak your mind when every thought is about your own benefit. Successful leaders have the loyalty of their team because the team knows they care about them. A leader who is quick to speak and slow to listen is a leader who unknowingly inflicts emotional pain by simply speaking their mind. A great leader cares more about the well being of their team members than they do about being in control, being heard or being right.” J Loren Norris

DREAMERS AND LEADERS ARE CLOSELY RELATED BUT WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP?
“Most of a child’s life is spent in the world of imagination. Children live in a world where anything is possible and the unimaginable does not exist. If they can dream it up in their hearts and minds, they can and will behave as if it’s true. Age and life experience seem to be the deterrent to cultivating such fantastic lives. Unless one lives in a comic book, the older we get the fewer dreams we allow ourselves to imagine and believe. Leaders must be the provokers of imagination and dreams, these are the place innovation is born and hope is kept alive.” J Loren Norris

GRATITUDE IS THE SECRET WEAPON OF LEADERSHIP
“It is uncommon to encounter people who are truly grateful for every event and circumstance in their life. Most humans have good days as well as bad days. Life tends to offer both reasons to celebrate and reasons to scream in frustration, anger, pain or remorse. To say otherwise is to lie. However, these events in life do not choose the attitude a leader lives with, the leader does. If one understands the emotional, energetic, magnetic and cosmic power of the attitude of gratitude, they also understand the weapon it is and how to wield it in times of trouble.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS NEED TO KNOW WHEN THEY ARE NOT THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM
“This is not a statement on gender but a statement on ego and audacity. Confidence and arrogance are strange bedfellows. It’s difficult for most leaders to discern when one is asleep and the other is awake. When ego is driving the bus, every leader needs a team of back seat drivers to watch the road and course correct. When confidence is in the driver’s seat, other leaders should be making notes. Knowing which is the driver is the hardest part of leading. Great skill with genuine humility is world changing. Great arrogance with limited skill motivates a desire to rule the world. Be humble. Seek advise. Focus forward. Get over yourself. Help others.” J Loren Norris

WHOSE VISION ARE YOU LEADING OTHERS TO AND THROUGH
“It would only make sense for a leader to move people they influence in the direction of a mutually agreed upon vision, goal or destination. However, perhaps you’ve heard the seemingly unrelated phrases such as ulterior motive, narcissistic tendencies, or vision creep. These notions are directly related and intricately involved in the actual practice of leading. A leader who is not intentional and clear about the compelling vision driving them will get derailed. Many other motivations will redirect the path and the people. Get clear on the vision as assigned, articulate it regularly, revisit it often, especially if it is not your vision you are tasked to carry out.” J Loren Norris

EVERY STORY A LEADER TELLS ESTABLISHES HISTORY, EXPLAINS THE PRESENT AND PREPARES PEOPLE FOR THE FUTURE
“Leaders who read history know how often and in what ways history repeats itself. Leaders who tell stories recall to validate, or recollect to correct history as it is remembered. Like multiple eye witnesses to an accident, every event or incident in history has myriad perceptions to offer. What happened and why? Who caused it? Who is to blame or receive credit? These answers will be as vast and varied as the number of people telling the story. These answers will give motivation for what we do now and directions for what we do next. The answers will redefine the potentialities of the future for generations. If your perception of the events is not told, then history and posterity will lack your perspective.” J Loren Norris

THREE TOP REASONS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO LEAVE THEM BEHIND AS THEIR LEADER
“Three reasons people who started the journey with you won’t finish it. They don’t want to know. They don’t want to grow. They don’t want to go. They might want the accolades, the appreciation, the notoriety. They perhaps even long for the riches and recognition. But the price to be paid for going forward into the risky unknown is not in their nature. They would rather be left behind than to go the hard way. Never let them talk you out of the journey toward your destiny. Say goodbye to the past and hello to the future.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP MUST BE APPROACHED LIKE RAILROAD TRACKS - STOP - LOOK - LISTEN
“Leaders who assume they know everything, well you know what happens when we assume. It is imperative for leaders to demonstrate the respect, human decency and compassion others deserve. It is also significantly critical for leaders to consider the circumstances, perspectives and predicaments of those they lead. A failure to follow orders or instructions can be a serious problem indeed. However, there is often a why worth hearing in the back of the noncompliance. Stop. Look. Listen.” J Loren Norris

THE INGREDIENTS OF GREAT LEADERSHIP ARE OFTEN UNAPPEALING SEPARATELY
“Many recipes include surprising ingredients. The little known elements which cause critical chemical reactions are by themselves unimaginable as a food item. Have you ever eaten baking powder or straight cocoa powder? Some ingredients cannot be skipped or substituted, In leadership, there are messy, even nasty ingredients which are crucial catalyst to personal growth, team cohesion and ultimately success. If we skip some of those undesirable mixtures, great leadership may not be final result. We will get something unrecognizable instead.” J Loren Norris

WHEN FRUSTRATING EVENTS BEFALL A LEADER REHEARSAL BEGINS, RECITAL REMINDS, RESENTMENT RISES UNLESS…
“Changed schedules, delayed flights, closed doors to opportunity, a loss of a sale or top employee and suddenly the world of an average leader is in a tail spin. To avoid the disaster of the nose dive and ensuing crash, the blame game is activated like a led parachute. No one comes out of the blame game unscathed. When the mind of the leader is not trained and disciplined to search for positive possibilities, the rehearsal of the past events will be the natural response. The recital of the same old stories of failure and unworthiness begin to replay in the mind. Resentment becomes the driving emotion and it drives to destruction or depression or both. Its time to tell a better story.” J Loren Norris ” J Loren Norris

LEADERS GET MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO FIGHT A BATTLE THEY SHOULD IGNORE
“This life is filled with chances to get it wrong. Leaders will be challenged on every side with arguments, disagreements and even agreements with nuance. Choosing When to speak up and when to remain silent can be as demanding as the actual skirmish itself. Preparing to avoid a battle is as tasking has preparing to fight one. Before you engage an opponent ask yourself sincerely: ‘What will be the spoils of war in this? If I win now what will I lose later?” J Loren Norris

WHAT MAKES A LEADER A 1% LEADER?
LTNTV INTERVIEW WITH RETIRED CMSGT SKIP OVERDIER
“It’s one thing to claim to be a leader. It’s another to have the type of influence people seek to follow. It’s important to follow the rules, get permission to lead, build the right relationships to keep the job. It’s another thing to stay in the game long enough to become named among the top 1% in your career field. IN this interview leaders will hear exactly how that was accomplished.

4 STEPS TO TELL BETTER STORIES BETTER -
J LOREN NORRIS AT TAGTALKS DALLAS SEPTEMBER 2023
“Leaders who desire to have better influence must begin with better communication. One reason leaders fail at communication is because they fail to use stories to make a point. Another reason they fail to communicate is they use stories which have no point. In this short video, I point out the reasons for using a story, how to find the right story, why LRADERS must practice before using a story and the end game behind using a story. Yes. This is a leadership lesson for all levels.” J Loren Norris

HEY LEADER! WHATS ON YOUR MIND?
“Every leader runs the risk of having too much on their mind. Too many projects started but not finished. Too many haters judging your every move. Too much time spent without focus on the assignment. Too many worries about not being enough, good enough, smart enough, successful enough. If you are not intentionally observant, diligently aware, astutely critical of every whisper into your soul, you will become an overwhelmed leader. To be an extremely effective leader, you must guard your mind. Pay particular attention to whom you listen to and why, Take advice from the qualified and silence your ear those have only their own interest in mind.” J Loren Norris

WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO BECOME AND REMAIN A LEADER?
“Everyone is driven by something a little bit different. Everyone’s past is a little bit different. Everyone makes decisions a little bit different. Between decision making and results there is a direct line of causation, not so with history, motivation and action. A leader’s actions often appear to be inextricably linked to their past successes and failures. Sadly, a leader may choose to act in ways driven by current motivations such as revenge, preemptive attack or even mutual destruction. Sometimes these decisions and actions are motivated by a moment of fear, anger or a passion for success. I challenge you as a leader to be motivated in your decision making by compassion and not selfishness or self promotion alone.” J Loren Norris

FAILURE IN A LEADERS LIFE WILL PROMOTE, PROPEL OR PUMMEL
“As a leader, you will fail. It is not a question of if but when. The real question is, what will you do when you fail? Will you see that failure as an excuse to quit? Will you ignore the failure and what caused it then brush off the symptoms and effects? Will you learn, heal, recover, adapt and insure the root cause is eradicated? One guarantee is certain, overcoming this challenge has a reward. The reward is the next challenge. Congratulations on your promotion.” J Loren Norris

VISION AND SIGHT ARE NOT THE SAME LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
“It’s difficult enough in this world of virtual and augmented reality to see what really is. A leader’s role is to see in a way that is not based on sight but a deeper understanding, A well constructed blend of what was, what is and what is to come. Vision is not sight. Vision is wisdom applied. Sight is found in the eyes. Vision is found in the heart and the soul.” J Loren Norris

“I am a product of my environment like everyone else. I am a user of tools of all sorts. I know well the aggravation of attempting to complete a task with the wrong tool. I also know there are times when laziness, apathy and contentment overwhelm inventiveness, motivation and ambition. Tools are created to save time, to maximize effort and to make us more productive not to make us less industrious or conscientious. Leaders must be users of the latest tools, without abandoning the process of learning and mastery.” J Loren Norris

GREAT LEADERS ARE NOT DRIVEN BY SELFISH GAIN BUT BY CREATING VALUE FOR OTHERS
“Today’s world is filled with would be leaders of industry, governments, nations, business and medicine who have their own legacy front and center. For leaders like this, the greatest accomplishments are financial security. The greatest goal is the legacy or reputation they hold for pushing further than the competition and winning at all costs. We also have a generation of financially astounding influencers who manufacture nothing but drama and attention for themselves. Their narcism is the primary goal, means and end to production. If they employ people, they are often temps or VAs and not really earning a respectable let alone livable wage. Great leaders understand the business or organization they lead is simply a vehicle for adding value to others.” J Loren Norris

AT SOME POINT GREAT LEADERSHIP OFFENDS SOMEONE
“It would be nice if we could all just get along. It would also be nice if no one said a harsh word, set difficult expectations, created a demand for excellence. If all those things were true, we would have no need for leadership. It is the role of leadership to motivate, inspire, and influence. It is the purpose of a vision to establish the destination and the goals along the path. It is the ‘dark side’ of leadership which must hold people accountable to the standards, expectations and accomplishments set out by the vision. When those we lead miss the standards or the objectives clear and candid words are often needed to correct the course. Those words are not always perceived to be nice.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST CONQUER POINTLESS DISTRACTIONS
“What is a pointless distraction? Personell drama could be a pointless distraction. The ploys of your competition could be a pointless distraction. Market volatility could be a pointless distraction. Most of the issues a leader must confront on a daily basis could be a pointless distraction. Knowing what is a pointless distraction and what is attending to the critical details of the mission is among the hardest roles of a leader. However, allowing the pointless distractions to occupy mental space, emotional energy and financial resources will eventually accelerate the damage or demise of any organization.” J Loren Norris

BAD STORIES CAN DO MORE DAMAGE THAN A LEADER CAN UNDO ON THEIR OWN
“BAD Stories might be Boring, Acrimonious and Divisive but these are only one stacked acrostic of a BAD story. Leaders who choose stories which fit this definition are leaders who destroy confidence, relationships and opportunities. If we fail to understand the magnitude of our stories, the 10 second, single line stories in our head or the months long stories of a campaign, we will do more damage than can be undone alone.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP DEMANDS THE COURAGEOUS PURSUIT OF THE UNKNOWN
“Life is filled with challenges, obstacles and distractions. Leadership amplifies, magnifies and seemingly attracts each of these exponentially. Seeking new opportunity, discovering the newest mouse trap, innovating new management techniques all demand courage to face the risk of the unknown and tenacity to charge forward regardless. Leadership will unlikely install this new download of fearlessness, you’ll have to write that code on your own.” J Loren Norris

LEADING AND MANAGING DIFFER IN BOTH STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
“Trying to lead a team of different and diverse people is a challenge. Knowing the difference between leading and managing is one key aspect of the challenge. One example would be the difference between equipping and developing your team. Strong management skills would include training team members to excel in the role by up-leveling their skills sets to mastery - this is equipping. Leadership on the other hand requires developing the person, even if that means they surpass you or out grow your team.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO LIVE IN AN ECHO CHAMBER OFTEN HAVE A FALSE SENSE OF SUCCESS
“If everything around you points to your greatness, you might be in greater danger than you know. If everyone you lead, everyone you report to, every one of your peers agrees with every word you say and every action you take, it’s time take stock. Being surrounded only by those who value your every idea and agree with every decision can lead to internal blindness. Take time as a leader to read books from people you know you don’t agree with off hand. Get to know people whose ideas are contrary to yours. Ask questions and truly to people who disagree with you. This will sharpen your skills, deepen your understanding and secure your ideas as valid or give you a new way to perceive.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WORDS HAVE A DIRECT IMPACT ON ROI, RISK REWARD AND EMPLOYEE RETENTION
“The words a leader selects to speak to their team, about their team and THROUGH their team will always bear an ROI. These words will have a direct impact on the strength, confidence and proficiency or productivity of the team. These words will have a direct correlation to the strength of your brand, your reputation in the market place, your ability to do business. These words will have a direct relationship to hiring and retaining great talent. Leaders, you must choose your words with more particularity, scrutiny and diligence than you choose your coffee.” J Loren Norris

MANAGING DRAMA, STRESS AND ANXIETY ARE UNSPOKEN EXPECTATIONS OF A GREAT LEADER
“If you have worked in an environment where someone on the team seems to live for drama, you know the discomfort that brings to a team. Drama driven teammates will say things like, ‘I get bored when it’s all smooth sailing.’ ‘I work better under pressure,’ ‘Give me the tough assignments because that’s where I shine.’ Usually, that means they will create drama where there is none, exacerbate stress and high pressure because they believe they thrive in it. Sadly, they will also manufacture stress and anxiety for everyone else. Great leaders recognize these tendencies and habits then work diligently to manage them or redirect the efforts.” J Loren Norris

“If we continue to listen to the negative, malicious, divisive stories we are fed from the news and the pews we will see self destruction continue to unfold.

SOME LEADERS LEARN TO SERVE OTHERS BY SERVING THEMSELVES
“Meeting the need of others can be a genesis for serving. Inspiration or the request of others can be the genesis of serving others. However, never underestimate the power of serving others as a means of your own growth needs. Is there a chance your next area of challenge, personal development, or need for heightened awareness would benefit others? Do it. Do it because they need your help. Do it because you need to grow. Do it because you need to become a better someone.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS A LIFE TIME OF DECISIONS, NEGOTIATIONS AND RISK
“Leaders who believe life is fair will have a really hard life. Leaders who are averse to risk taking will miss out on many opportunities to grow and excel. Leaders who feel like every negotiation should end in compromise will find themselves on the losing end of too many deals. Decision making is emotional business. Business is emotional. Leaders must master the art of emotional risk taking and deal making to be successful.” J Loren Norris

REHEARSAL IS THE BIRTHPLACE OF EXCELLENCE FOR EVERY LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE
“Brandon Dawson says leaders must ‘Model. Mimic. Master. Multiply.’ This process is the rehearsal of leadership. Like an orchestra, an ensemble, a ballet or a movie set, every part must be perfected through practice. In the same way that one vocalist, instrumentalist or dancer can make or break the show, one member of the team might corrupt all the efforts of leadership as well. Rehearsing your leadership skills alone is essential. Rehearsing your skills in conjunction, coordination and collaboration is the formula for excellence.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST PRACTICE EFFECTIVE TROUBLE SHOOTING IN ALL AREAS
“Ancient teachers say there is wisdom in a multitude of advisers. The theory goes, if enough people agree on an idea as good or bad, how could they all be wrong? Sometimes, a bad idea is perpetuated because no one wants to disagree. Sometime an ok idea is regarded as stellar because so many people buy in. Trouble shooting the practice of the master technicians in any field. Looking first from the most likely problem to the most complicated possibility and solving only the what must be solved.” J Loren Norris

LEARNING IS BEST DONE THROUGH DISCOVERY AND AWARENESS THATS WHY GREAT LEADERS COACH RATHER THAN LECTURE
“The leader who feels it necessary to lecture, dictate and micromanage every decision will come across to team members as a tyrant or dictator. If you want your team to truly grow and own the information, practices and processes, give them room to discovery. All of us hold on to an idea we believe was our own. When we become aware of a new way of dealing with people, navigating obstacles or providing solutions we seem to treasure that discovery. A great leader leads people in a way to allow and encourage such discovery without forcing the lesson or lecturing the learning.” J Loren Norris

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR LEADERSHIP LID IS CONNECTION
“Every leader will tell you failure is imminent and unavoidable. Every leader will also tell you if you fail at the same thing several times, the real failure is you’re failing to learn the lesson. For many leaders, their first experience of failure is directly tied to communication. The inability to deliver the vision, explain the objectives, articulate the expectations will lead to failure. Ironically, most leaders communicate disproportionately to the task at hand, they are simply inefficient at getting others to understand and apply what was said. In short, they talk a lot and say very little. That is a leadership lid. Watch the video for tips to connect better and raise your lid to another level.” J Loren Norris

WARNING: SERVICE LEADS TO ACCESS - IF YOU WANT TO GROW IN LEADERSHIP THEN SERVE FIRST
“Serving others is the fastest and most consistently proven way to gain access to those you admire. If you want to be mentored, apprenticed, educated by people who you aspire to become, serve them. Word of warning, this part of the process is the gauntlet of leadership and coaching. If you believe serving leads directly to opportunity, you are mislead and that error in thinking will cost you dearly. Watch the video to understand the process better.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST DO THEIR HOMEWORK TO BECOME PURVEYORS OF HOPE
“Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, ‘Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.’ Perhaps you have even seen the reality of this idea prove itself out. Generational addictions, generational poverty, generational incarceration all seem to be hard cycles to defeat. Those same types of cycles are found in leadership, economics, geopolitics, local and regional governmental policy making as well. Leaders who feel confident to say, ‘I am not in politics, it doesn’t effect me and its none of my business’ are basically saying, ‘not my circus, not my monkeys.’ These are leaders who will effectively observe a public injustice and make a similar claim, not my fight and I know no one in the fight so it’s not my problem.’ Committed leaders will not settle here. They engage for change because they know it is their responsibility to lead.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS REALIZE FREEDOM IS NOT A NATURAL STATE OF HUMANS IT IS A LEARNED BEHAVIOR
“Whether you are bound by your own bad ideas, outmoded belief systems, or simple lies and deceptions, there is a strange comfort in knowing where you stand. Leaders who acknowledge this reality are alone empowered to raise awareness in the hearts and minds of those who are not able to see where they are bound. Aristotle said, “Tyrants want their subjects to be strangers.” WHY? Because those who see the invisible walls and glass ceilings often possess the influence to bring about change. That change usually begins in the stories whispered in the shade before it resounds in the light of day. Yeonmi Park declared, “In North Korea, our vocabulary has no word for the concept of freedom.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE EFFECTIVE WHEN THEY SOLVE THE PROBLEMS AT HAND RATHER THAN CREATING PROBLEMS TO SOLVE
“Leaders are most effective when they are efficient problem solvers. Whether tacking a problem head on, delegating or collaborating, they identify the problem at hand and spring into action. Leaders are futuristic when they identify a challenge which will imminently occur and preemptively propose a workable solution. Too many of today’s leaders are determined to prove themselves to be worthwhile, heroic and indispensable by solving a problem which isn’t yet a problem, won’t become a problem anytime soon and even if it was a problem it would be insignificant in the grand scheme of life.” J Loren Norris

HEY LEADER, DANCE WITH THE ONE WHO BRUNG YOU!
“Too many leaders believe they must emulate or model others who have become their ideal pinnacle of success. When they witness the meteoric rise of an unknown somebody to stardom, they suddenly lay aside everything they have been building so they can mimic the super star. The first reality is, most people who you see becoming an overnight success have been building in the dark for a long, long time. Second reality is, their success is the result of less luck and more persistent passionate pursuit. Finally reality is, your jumping on the bandwagon which appears to be their path to success will all too often require you to abandon every principle, characteristic and discipline you have applied to get to where you are now. If you fall for the ruse and trade horses mid race, you will fail and need to start over in many areas. Be you. Be loyal to your past success and hold firm to who you are. Your authenticity has great value. LEAD WITH THE CHARACTER WHICH GOT YOU TO LEADERSHIP.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO EXERCISE COMPASSION ARE NOT WEAK BUT PROFOUNDLY STRONG
“Looking beyond the circumstances to see the humanity in any situation requires something special. A special type of discipline to think beyond self, to ask how might I benefit someone else, what part of my emotion response to the moment is simply self serving. This exercise is more than empathy or pity. This conscious awareness of the dignity of other humans requires a strong and accurate assessment of self.” J Loren Norris

GREAT LEADERS PREPARE THOSE IN THEIR CHARGE FOR FUTURE LEADERSHIP
“There are many reasons a leader might be reticent to training and preparing the people they lead to one day lead themselves. First and I believe most common is a mild form of codependency. The leader needs to be needed. Second is the fear they will work themselves out of a job and accidentally replace themselves. Finally, among the most common reasons leaders do not invest in the future leadership roles of those in their charge is the fear that too many leaders and no producers will mean the overall production will suffer. All of these are possible but need not be if you are a great leader. Great leaders empower others.” J Loren Norris

COMMUNITY IS THE COMPLICATED PART OF LEADERSHIP
“Leadership is a mine field and a mind field. Leadership is demanding and exacting, ambiguous and ambivalent, rewarding and tumultuous all in one. Human relationships are some of the most convoluted systems in the universe. Thoughts and emotions are ever changing, expectations and demands meant to be fixed like goals but often are not. The more humans you add to the equation, the more all of these things are true. Oddly, this is the definition of community, and community, large or small is required of leadership. Otherwise the leader is not much more than a self awareness specialist.” J Loren Norris

FACE THE TRUTH LEADER FACES LIE
“It’s hard to admit, but we have all been fooled or deceived at one time or another. The brightest of smiles, the twinkling eyes, the familiar face, the soothing voice have lead us to believe what our spidey sense warned us was utter nonsense. As a leader, your wisdom comes through research combined with experience. Be wise. Do your homework. Develop your instincts. Grow your intuition. Don’t be fooled by the slick presenter, journalist, politician, or online date. Guard your mind and be wise.” J Loren Norris

GOOD LEADERS SOMETIMES TELL BAD STORIES
“What dos it mean to tell a bad story? How about a story that is boring, acrimonious and disturbing? Maybe they tell a story which is based on damaging beliefs, alarming and divisive. There are stories told by leaders which have no redeeming qualities. There are stories told to manipulate, manage and malign other people. Good leaders must learn to tell better stories better. Watch this episode for some insights to this concept.” J Loren Norris

STORYPOWER IS A LEADERSHIP ISSUE - THIS EPISODE WILL TELL YOU WHY AND HOW
“Every one you have ever hired, will ever hire, fire, train or retain has a story. It is the anchor of the human experience. Those stories collectively are the history and the future of human societies and cultures. Those stories independently are the record of traumas, tragedies and triumphs. Each person on your team has a story and their story is now intertwined with yours making you coauthors of the future chapters. write them well.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS NEVER STOP ANALYZING THEIR OWN FAILURE
“If you lead, you know everyone around you is watching. Some are looking for reasons to follow your example. Others are looking for a reason to mimic your successes in a their own way. Yet others are looking for your weaknesses, your missteps, your blind spots. As a leader, you must endeavor to be the first who recognizes a failure in your process, behavior, character or thoughts and pounces on it. If you take immediate, swift, decisive action to make change, the group looking for your weaknesses to take you out, will have nothing to work with.” J Loren Norris

WHO IS YOUR LEADERSHIP SECOND STRING?
“Are you ready for the inevitable injury, delay, distraction or disruption? Do you have confidence in your own consistency to prepare your back up? If you didn’t show up tomorrow what would happen in your absence? If you got a promotion, a chance to expand and explore, the opportunity of a lifetime would your current effort carry on or collapse? You have the responsibility as leader to insure someone is prepared to take your place.” J Loren Norris

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! LEADERSHIP DEMANDS ACTION BEYOND CONJECTURE
“There are plenty of issues in this world, problems which demand a solution. There are plenty of folks who are more than happy to whine and complain about these problems but have no inclination to take action. Leaders are action takers. Beyond hearing the problem and voicing an option, they engage, they raise funds, they rally people, they roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. There’s a time for talk and a time for action, a good leader knows the difference.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS CALL THEM BLIND SPOTS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM FROM WHERE YOU ARE
“The most detrimental part of leadership is the failure which sneaks up on the leader. The likelihood that others have seen the object in your blind spot is high. The odds it will destroy you if not addressed? Also high. The challenge for every leader is maintaining a willingness to hear from others what those blind spots look like, the impact they have on others and the possible remedies. It is a greater leadership failure to pretend there are no blind spots and press forward than to submit to changes required to address your blind spots.” J Loren Norris

CAN YOU NAME THE LEADER, CLIENT, BOSS FROM YOUR LIFE WHO IS NOT HUMAN?
“Trying to name a leader, boss, client, CEO, customer who is not human IS a trick question. It might not be a trick question in years to come, but for now, the common aspect of everyone a leader must build connection with is they are human. Humans have shared experiences, shared narratives, shared frustrations and even shared joys. This is why StoryPower is so effective as a leadership tool, a personal development tool and sales tool. The human story resonates with people. Your story more than your resume or list of accomplishments reveals if you are a credible source.” J Loren Norris

THE VALUE OF WHAT A LEADER HAS TO SAY IS ALWAYS TIED TO THE CREDIBILITY OF THE LEADER MORE THAN THE THING THEY ARE TELLING
”No matter how well you tell a story, if you don’t have trust and credibility with leadership, your story will fall on deaf ears not matter how true, important or relevant it is. The time required to build credibility is varying based on your character, your integrity, your experience and your reputation. Working with leadership which is not strong, cantankerous or contrary will require great discipline, patience and persistence from you. Leading those who might try to manipulate or usurp your leadership will require the same level of intentionally developed credibility.” J Loren Norris

CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE BY LEADING THE CONVERGENCE OF PAST AND PRESENT EXPERIENCES
“The power of awareness is impossible to overestimate. Leaders who are always in observation mode are ahead of the game. The ability to perceive and react before anyone else is the foundation to many multimillion dollar organizations. Cures for diseases, pathways to new societies, evolutions of education, clashes of culture, are all the result of leaders who read the past then predict or direct their future. They are trailblazers. They follow patterns and respond first. Now it’s your turn.” J Loren Norris

ITS HARD TO LEAD FROM YOUR LANE AND JOCKEY FOR POSITION AT THE SAME TIME
“When a leader decides they need to struggle, hustle, jockey for the next position of power, they have already decided they are too big for their lane. It is difficult and daunting to stick to your area of expertise, mind your discipline and respect those around you when you are convinced you could do their job better. The antidote to this often self destructive, career ending behavior is one of the most challenging attributes to master. Humility is tough. Besides, many leaders jockey, wrestle, tug and fight their way to the top where they are rewarded for their pride and confidence. Which way is right for you?” J Loren Norris

YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD IF YOU WILL COMMIT TO LEADING WITH THESE THREE INTENTIONS
“The world needs more leaders who will step out on a limb and address the proverbial elephant in the room. Lacking is the person or persons who are acutely aware of the issues at hand, especially those issues intentionally hidden. The subversive range of certain forms of communication blended with the technical ability to personalize and privatize the core message requires leaders to always be aware of efforts to dissuade. This video briefly touches on three practices every leader must employ to maintain their level of influence.” J Loren Norris

THE DANCE OF LEADERSHIP IS OFTEN MORE OF A MOSH PIT THAN A TANGO OR A WALTZ
“No matter how long you are involved in leadership, you will eventually come to the conclusion not everyone shares your passion for doing the right thing. The evidence may be slow coming to light, painful to acknowledge and devastating to your relationships but awareness beats blind trust any day of the week. Understanding your role in the long term cycles of life and civility will give you an upper hand. Determining your core values, long range goals, intended legacy will allow you to lead from a perspective larger than your ego, net worth and self importance. Those are all the elements of the mosh pit. If you want to waltz, you’ll have to change the sheet music, write a new song, move to a different rhythm and admit its about the bigger picture and not about you.” J Loren Norris

HEY LEADER SLOW YOUR ROLL AND KNOW YOUR ROLE
“One of the mist distracting and damaging behaviors of a young leader is the ambition to prove their power, their influence and their worth. Often this insecurity is expressed through taking on more roles than they can competently accomplish. Sometimes it manifests in attempting to do the job of others before they have had a chance to fail or succeed for themselves. This behavior does not prove the validity of the leader, instead it usually tests the patience of the entire team. From the newest member to the senior executives, there are questions about maturity, training, cohesive attitude and collaboration. As a growing leader, slow down, take your time to master your assignments until others find you mimic worthy. Then your demeanor and drive will influence deeper. Focus on being the best at your assignment and you will become a better leader.” J Loren Norris

WHEN CANCEL CULTURE CALLS WILL YOU LEAD OR CAPITULATE?
“Too often the path of least resistance has great appeal because it offers the illusion of going along to get along with others. When peer pressure, the cultural norm, the status quo threaten what’s right and what’s best in the long run, it is essential for leaders to know the difference. Are you prepared to stand your ground? Do you know where the proverbial line in the sand exists for you? There are too many philosophical hills to die on. A strong leader must decide where to draw the line, when to stand alone, whom to allow to walk away and what truly matters most. Fandom, stardom, making bank, they all have their place in measuring success, none of them will go to the grave with you or for you. Decide now who you want to be remembered as and stand strong in that shadow.” J Loren Norris

GREAT LEADERS KNOW WHEN A TEAM MEMBER IS AT RISK OF DROWNING
“When a team member is in over their head, overwhelmed with their assignments or the stress of the role they are filling it is the job of the leader to be aware and engaged. A leader who allows the onslaught of life to slip into the soul of their team unnoticed and unhindered is a leader too focused on their own issues. Be willing to step in and rescue, render aid or even assist in getting the job done. Before you consider replacing someone for not meeting your expectations, consider better preparing them for the highest level of excellence and competence in what you have expected them to do.” J Loren Norris

SQUEEZE PLAY IS A STRATEGY TO PUSH LEADERS FROM EFFECTIVE TO COMPLIANT
“”The pressure to fit in to societal expectations is increasing every generation. Leaders are daily under attack to conform to and confirm some of the silliest ideas ever expressed. Sadly, those who are notorious for manufacturing some of the notions we now call normal, are ruthless in gaining buy-in to their ludicrous ideas. From film making to music, from elementary school library’s to the most viewed award shows if every individual involved does not express the same level of enthusiasm for the new way of thinking and speaking, there will be a high price to pay. It is no longer simply the social pressure of reputation and risk of being castigated. If you remain effective as a contrarian influencer, the conspirators will go after your career, family, integrity, public image, means of income, and even your banking access. Stand strong! Your influence threatens them for good reason. Keep at it.” J Loren Norris

THE GOTCHA STYLED INTERVIEW IS THE ARMPIT OF LEADERSHIP
“The leader who is on the verbal offensive in every interaction , interview or encounter is the unwanted participant of any relationship. It is either the narcissist or nihilist nature in a leader which pushes them to play gotcha in every conversation. The attack on personhood, status, class, education, race, beliefs is seldom based on merit or demerit of the actual attribute. Most commonly the one sided verbal sparring is designed only to be a self aggrandizing tool for the insecure leader. This practice is all too common among immature leaders of any age. Their confidence is so bruised, every breathless pause of the other person in the conversation becomes an opening to throw a verbal jab. If you are a leader who has to have the first word into an engagement and the last word out, check your deodorant, you might be the armpit everyone is trying to avoid.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP GROWS THROUGH THREE CHANNELS HIDDEN IN THIS EPISODE
“Like driving a vehicle with a manual transmission, if you don’t do right in first gear the other gears won’t work well at all. Failure to build the appropriate amount of system pressure in gear one, means no momentum, no torque, no acceleration or speed in subsequent gears. The analogy in this lesson is strong. The three gears one must negotiate are indispensable for relationships, business, career, education and especially leadership roles. To find success in any of these, you must focus on the proper launch application of first gear. To know what that is, pay attention to this episode and discover your best launch mode.” J Loren Norris

ONCE A LEADER ALWAYS A LEADER - TRUE OR FALSE?
“The skills required to become an effective leader are not skills which evaporate over time. Unlike athleticism demonstrated at a young age, leadership mastery is lifelong learning more akin to the skills such as mastering the game of golf or tennis. If you have become skilled at leadership, leadership follows you into every environment, for better or worse. The best leaders learn to temper leadership skill set with patience, kindness, compassion and maturity. All of these are required when a leader observes an issue which is not theirs to solve or resolve. Capacity and competency to lead are still present, but accompanied by maturity they create the sound of silence.” J Loren Norris

WELDER OR PHILOSOPHER WHICH ONE IS A LEADER?
“Having experienced my share of manual labor, sore muscles, aching joints, sunburnt neck and scarred hands, I can tell you for a fact, a day of intense mind work is equally tasking and exhausting. To know for a fact, no one is as invested or interested in your success and safety as you, seems silly to say, but frivolous lawsuits abounding proves it is not common knowledge. If you want success in this life, you must pursue it. You must put in the hours of toil. You must choose the path most likely to get you to the result you desire and endure everything said path throws at you. Which then is the ‘real lead’, philosopher or welder? The one who diligent pursues their path until such time as other choose to follow.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP DONE WELL MAY WELL COST YOU EVERYTHING
“The sacrifices made by leaders who have gone before you demand the utmost of commitment from you. As a leader, you will be asked to give. Likely you will be asked to give more than you could have imagined. Your time, talent, treasure and attention will all be on the chopping block along side your physical, financial and emotional well being. When you have defended those things well, your peace of mind, your reputation, your good name will be targeted. Being a great leader may well cost you all of them. The leaders who have gone before paid the admission for you, the rest of the cost is yours to pay.” J Loren Norris

YOU INFLUENCE THEREFORE YOU LEAD HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE?
“When you have the floor, when you have the mic, when you have the worlds attention, what will you do with it? So many influencers strive and struggle to gain the traction of notoriety. So many influencers have the ambition of climbing the ladder of clicks, views, subscribes and shares. So many influencers will stoop to any level of moral deprivation, antics and self depreciation just for the attention and associated income. If you work that hard to get attention, like the guy who films the reactions of the crowd to his over the top flatulent demonstrations, what value is the effort to influence? Is it all about the love for money? Do such influencers take any stock in the behavior they glorify or inspire? If you influence, you lead. Where are you leading them?” J Loren Norris

IMHO GREAT LEADERS ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH SURFACE LEVEL THINKING
“I am by no means an academic snob, I am not qualified to be one. I am not superior to anyone, the average chimp likely has a higher IQ. However, I do appreciate and value a conversation of substance over fluff any day of the week. I prefer to think deeply and to consider tough subjects I do not agree with initially. It perhaps is a Machiavellian and self serving of me to project this same ideological position on ‘great leaders’. I receive such criticism as potentially valid. However, if the shallow talk of the day is all you have time and energy to invest in with me, I would rather do the laundry or mow the yard whilst eves dropping on someone else’s deeper conversation via podcast.” J Loren Norris

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED - LEADERSHIP DEMANDS READINESS TO ADAPT AND OVERCOME - BE PREPARED TO INNOVATE
“It seems oxymoronic to expect what cannot be expected, no? Truth is, being prepared in such a way as to be agile, responsive and resolute is the nature of good leadership. If we knew all the obstacles we would face and the perfect strategy to conquer them on the first, try we would never grow. When life changes, shifts and undulates around us, leaders move like a buoy at sea allowing the wind and waves of the storms to move them, but not to remove them. Like the smallest of trees with deep roots, the leaders’ flexibility to bend precedes the strength to stand strong and mighty in the face of radical transformation.” J Loren Norris

CRAFTING THE STORY WHICH SHAPES THE FUTURE IS A PRIMARY ROLE OF LEADERSHIP
“The pick up line, the brand slogan, the sales pitch, the battle cry they are all tools of the same origin. These are the stories we select to tell to win over a date, a business partner, a customer, a toddler, an investor to our way of thinking. These stories are carefully selected, diligently crafted, masterfully connected and expertly delivered. When all the puzzle pieces fall in place we win. When all the puzzle pieces fall in place, we connect with the hearts and minds of the listeners and persuade them to momentarily view the world through our eyes. When all the puzzle pieces fall in place we gain buy in, convert a new follower or fan and inspire immediate action. These stories have the power to transform our world. These stories are a primary role of great leaders.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS NEED SPACE TO FOCUS - GUARDED TIME TO THINK, PLAN AND PROCESS
“Busy is a double edged sword. The leader who does not commit to taking time for themselves to think, plan and process their experiences will burn out and possibly self destruct. It’s nice to think the longer one is a leader, the more they can handle. Truth is, the more people and things one has to lead, the more white space they need in their life. Take time to create margin or you will find yourself in the deep end barley able to tread water.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THAT APPRECIATION IS MORE DIFFICULT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING
“Appreciation and gratitude are related but not the same. It is possible and even practical to be grateful for an outcome without truly appreciating all the effort necessary to pull it off. To experience true appreciation, one must understand the process, understand the effort, understand the commitment required and invested. I love to listen to music of all types. I love to watch American football. I love to eat a great smoked, bbq brisket. Appreciation for all of these comes at a greater level the moment you try to match the results without the years of disciplined practice and effort invested. The same is true of leadership. To appreciate your team, take time to understand them, the effort exerted and the investment required for mastery.” J Loren norris

FEELINGS ARE NOT FACTS. GREAT LEADERS UNDERSTAND WHY THIS MATTERS IN DECISION MAKING AND LEADING
“Great leaders make decisions based on facts properly evaluated not fickle emotions. Emotions, feelings are fickle and can not be trusted. Please make note, your insights, your experience, your wisdom might cause your tail to wiggle in regard to a situation or relationship but that is not a feeling based decision, it is an emotion or feeling resulting from knowledge you have which others may not have access too. Great leaders consider the feelings of other, the consider the information gathered, the consider truth as they can best comprehend it, then they make decisions regardless their feelings on the matter.” J Loren Norris

FEAR WILL STOP A LEADER FROM PERFORMING EVEN THE MOST BASIC SKILLS AND FUNCTIONS THEY HAVE MASTERED
”Fear is a killer of dreams, a dead end for ideas, a silencer of hope. Even the most skilled operator in any discipline will fail if they allow fear to freeze them. The better skilled, the deeper the mastery, the more disciplined the leader, the more likely neither crisis nor chaos will disrupt excellent execution. As a fire fighter, we were trained time and time again to respond in proper habit and muscle memory rather than react in fear. Great leader know the difference between real fear and induced fear. They also know fear is a decision with few benefits.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE THE FIBERS IN THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY WHICH NEED STRENGTHENED
“When the fibers are weak, the fabric stands no chance in the friction and fray of life. The fibers in the fabric of society are those who exert influence in the lives of others. In other words, the fiber which makes up the fabric of societies around the world are leaders. Leaders of families, leaders of communities, leaders of companies large or small are the reason societies and cultures maintain their integrity. When leaders fail in integrity, the fabric is in jeopardy. You must maintain your integrity, your moral authority and your character if you are to be a strengthening fiber in the fabric of society.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW BREAKING THE THERMOMETER WILL NOT STOP A HEAT WAVE
“Changing or destroying the standard measuring device which alerts you to a problem is not a solution to your problem. Relabeling something, someone, some idea does not transform the essence or nature along with the new label. From a company’s annual sales quotas, to a nations moral compass, the tools used to measure achievement or accomplishment is as important as effort of the individuals. This notion is only more true when accountability and awareness are managed and measured internally. Plugging up the rain gauge won’t stop the rain. Recognize your short comings by measuring them with intensity and integrity.” J Loren Norris

What is the purpose and meaning behind LEAD THE NARRATIVE TV? by J Loren Norris
We all have heard the stories selectively chosen by major media, by politicians, by medical experts, by agenda driving school curriculum and by those with a specific slant.
We recognize the stories as part of a big picture plan and a larger narrative. We understand their worldviews as they are exposed by these stories. But when we disagree with the worldview, oppose the agenda, are disgusted by the disingenuous nature of the narrative, we often shrug off the frustration and walk away muttering under our breath or bite our tongue in silence.
I believe we the people are tired of the muttering, tired of the disagreeable rhetoric, tired of the bullying of the hecklers veto and we are ready to be heard.
The real question now is this: If we don’t agree with the worldview, support the narrative or appreciate the stories being told, WHAT STORIES SHOULD WE BE TELLING?
That is the purpose and process of Lead The Narrative TV. We endeavor to gather the stories of everyday people who have a distinctive worldview, their own opinions, and a reason to speak up. We want you to have a place to exercise your first amendment right, whether we agree with you or not.
Lead The Narrative TV will be a place for you to speak your piece with respect, dignity, determination and perhaps some healthy debate. Join us on LeadTheNarrative.com

LEADERS UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF THEIR STORY WHILE ACKNOWLEDGING NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEIR STORY
”The leaders most potent power rests in the masterful skill of communication. Communicating what? Instruction, wisdom, vision, expectations, goals? Yes. Aside from the lecture styled handbook, standardized operating procedures and employee manual a great leader communicates hope, encouragement, wisdom and wit through stories. A leader who has been through some stuff has the power to mentor those who are facing the same challenges. These team members will benefit most from hearing the course of action which lead to success after all the obstacles were overcome. Taking time to polish communication skills and craft stories worth discussing is time and expense well invested. To tell better stories better make sure your story offers a solution which will save time, save money or avoid painful lessons. No one cares about your story, they care about the solution it points to.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE HARDEST WORK IS THE MIND WORK AND LEADING THE NARRATIVE IS MIND WORK
“Manual labor is the back bone of nation building, cultural strength and societal character. Without manual labor there are no roads, bridges or homes. Without manual labor no farms, food or future. Without manual labor life as we know it comes to a screeching halt. Manual labor without thinking, planning and analysis is often wasted labor, wasted resources and wasted time. Manual labor, skilled labor requires ample amounts training and agility. Mental labor requires discipline of the mind and thought life as well as focused attention on matters of importance. Leaders must apply themselves to the hard work of mental labor. I am convinced, thought life is where the wars for the survival of the species will be won or lost.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STORY THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE LONG AFTER THEY ARE GONE
“If history belongs to the victor, we must become the victor! At minimum we must be persistent with the integrity and richness of the stories we tell. Both sides of any conflict have their own story. But the first hand experiences, the eye witness testimonies, the best documented events will be the ones to lead the narrative in victory or challenge the narrative in defeat. Be the leader who documents, records and recounts the truthful events from your perspective, these stories will out live your life, your wealth and your reputation. These stories, not your bank account will be your legacy. Preserve them and guard them well.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS GUARD, LIBERTY, FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE FOR GOOD REASON
“You are free from the restraint of British Law, is that the same as personal independence? You are free to speak your mind, share your opinions, air your grievances but do you have liberty to vocalize your ideas without consequences? Those who demand freedom to do as they please and yet still demand someone else pay for food, shelter, clothing and education do not comprehend independence. So long as someone else is paying the bill, financially or morally, then you are living in liberty, a freedom granted by another who has authority over you and not independence. Having freedom, liberty and independence all demand responsibility, first, to behave in a way which honors others and next to protect those liberties with vigilance and diligence from those who prefer to make decisions on your behalf.. control you.” J Loren Norris

UNICORNS AND SILENT LEADERS ARE FOUND IN THE SAME PLACE
“The darkest places, most miserable places, most lonely places are reserved for those who knew the right thing to say or do who instead chose the path of no resistance to remained silent and still. Theirs is the destiny of fools. They possessed the power, the opportunity and the influence to redirect the course of human history but not the will. Fear of the loss of monetary gain, personal liberties, and luxurious relationships was weighed in the balance against moral fortitude and the well being of strangers; fear won. As rare as the unicorn is the great leader who remains silent when a whisper could save millions yet cost them their life.” J Loren Norris

HARD TRUTH - EFFECTIVE LEADERS ARE NOT ALWAYS LIKABLE LEADERS
“The right thing is not always the popular thing. Because this is true, the effective leader is not always the most popular leader. Like a parent taking their toddler to the doctor for a shot - holding them still whilst they writhe in pain and fear, we presume to know what’s best for them and we bear the pain of their despising us long enough to administer their well being. An effective leader is not always the most likable leader. The parent who would forego needed medical attention for their child so as to remain the bestie of their child has in my opinion sacrificed effective parenting for popularity. Politicians and leaders of all walks often do the same. Commit to your vision, your core values and effective leadership. In the long run the popular may be remembered, the effective will be rewarded.” J Loren Norris

A LEADERS SUCCESS MAKES THEM A TARGET OF THE LAZY AND UNSCRUPULOUS
“If you’re competing with fools you will always lose. Its like arguing with idiots they will drag you into their world of debate and then beat with you with experience. To win, to find success, to enjoy constant improvement requires understanding the game of life well. Here is success in a nutshell. If you are doing all you can to be the best you every day, you are well on your way. If you are competing only with you, if you are applying your efforts and ambitions in the direction of your greatest natural gifts, if you are measuring yourself against your yesterday, YOU ARE WINNING! You will be attacked, you will be ridiculed, you will be targeted by those who I want one of two things. Your success to theirs or their misery to be yours.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW TO SOMEONE HAS TO START THE RIPPLE
“Without the first stone tossed, there would be no ripple effect in the water. As a leader, influence is your role. If you expect to see radiating influence to ever greater magnitude expanding in all directions from your influence, start with you. Being responsible for you is contagious. When you handle your own affairs, you inspire others to do the same. When you take care of what only you can take care of, the ripple effect encourages others to do the same. Soon the blame game is over and business which must be handled is being handled. If you want to change the world it starts with you!” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR VISION, MISSION AND PURPOSE WITHOUT THEM THERE IS CHAOS
“All the effort in the world, all the energy exerted, resources committed, talents applied will not overcome the chaos created by a lack of vision. A team without a clear purpose, mission and vision will flounder. Like bunnies in a pen with a hungry wolf, viciously active with zero productivity is a team with no clear vision. It is the leaders role and responsibility to ensure the vision is well constructed and clearly articulated. The vision defines the need of the customer, the pain they are facing, the problem your team is solving and they strategies deployed. Keep working on that vision to alleviate chaos.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO MENTOR LEADERS PROVIDE SECURITY FOR THOSE THEY LEAD
“The insecure leader will often fail to thrive like a new born with no nutrition. The most important nutrient to a leader’s success is self confidence. That confidence, that sense of security is built by the faith other leaders exhibit toward you. If you have grown in leadership to a high level of competence and confidence it is likely because someone mentored you and offered a secure environment for you to grow in, to take risks, make mistakes, find grace and try again. It’s time to return the favor by paying it forward. Develop the potential leaders around you by lending them some belief and encouraging the same risks and rewards.” J Loren Norris

WARNING TO LEADERS - AVOID APATHY
“Nothing is more powerful for shaping the society we live in than passion in the heart of devoted and fearless leaders. The antidote to that catalyst is apathy. The uninterrupted barrage of emotionally charged events, news reports or optical illusions foisted on the American population (and almost every other western society globally) is designed to emotionally overwhelm the sympathy, empathy and emotional well being of leaders at every level. Leaders in the home, leaders in the church, leaders in business, leaders in local government have all been so bombarded with issues of great concern it is near impossible to discern what to focus emotional energy on. Warning leaders! This is no accident. Avoid apathy!” J Loren Norris

LEADING WITH STRENGTH IS ABOUT CONVICTION RATHER THAN ARROGANCE
“It is not the boisterous, over bearing, demanding, self righteous leader who represents strong leadership. When a leader is well heeled in their convictions, well informed in their thought processes and well established in their influences they are strong leaders. It is the strength of their conviction which emboldens them against the risk of change, the outcries of opposition and the resolve of the status quo. It is the humility and conscious moral obligation which recognizes the most painful of transformation and charges on regardless. Be a leader of strong conviction by challenging your own convictions and diligently serving the convictions which serve the world the best.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LEARN TO USE STORY TO CONVEY AND COMMIT OTHERS TO THE DRIVING VISION
“IMHO A proper vision statement should not sound like a bullet point list, a recipe, a set of goals or menu. A story which compels others emotionally to become a part of the vision has much more lasting and expansive effect. A vision statement should be a story of a future not yet seen which paints a picture, inspires action, evokes emotion and causes others to want to repeat that story. It should draw others into your excitement and at the same time be so clear that others will recognize its arrival from a distance.” J Loren Norris

LEADING WITHOUT A CLEAR VISION IS NOT LEADING IT IS WANDERING AS A HERD
“You can go on a journey alone or with friends. You can adventure or trek or explore alone or with a team. You can choose to go one way or another and expect people to follow you. That’s wandering with a herd. However, if you want to truly lead, you will need a vision worth participating in, sacrificing for, and pursuing at all cost. You will need to be clear and articulate about your purpose, your end goal, the benefits of participating, and the expected outcome. Take time to create and articulate this vision.” J Loren Norris

ARE YOUR BIGGEST DECISIONS LEAD BY OPPORTUNITY, INCOME OR VALUES?
“As your influnce grows in magnitude and measure, it also grows in value. At some point there will be an offer to buy in to your influnce. Perhaps the offer will ask you to promote a product, service, philosophy or idea. Perhaps the offer will ask you to cease offering the same. There are many whose financial capacity and social leverage are enough to persuade almost anyone. Their agenda may be nefarious but the offer is legit. If you do as they ask, the promise will be kept to reward you acccordningly. Just know this, some things can never be bought back at any price. If you choose opportunity or income over character, you will have sold your soul with a no returns or exchanges policy.” J Loren Norris

THE LEADERSHIP VACUUM IS NOT MY PROBLEM ITS OUR PROBLEM AND WE MUST SOLVE IT
“The voices of reason, resonance and recalcitrant logic are perpetuating hope. The giants of tyranny are exercising the leverage of their power to silence them. From shadow bans to deplatforming, the powers that be can change the narrative with the flip of a switch. They can control your ability to speak out, to conduct business, to influence thoughts and behaviors, they have even the wherewithal to remove your access to financial instruments you already own. If you have an experience based opinion contrary to the main narrative, you are not allowed to share your experience. This creates a vacuum which society cannot long endure. Use the dinner table, the coffee table, the picnic table, the fishing pier, the golf course or seats in the stadium as your platform and strategically continue to influence everywhere you can.” J Loren Norris

HEY LEADER! IF YOU DON’T STAND IN THE GAP WHO WILL?
“If we all become a society of observe and reporters, who will actually stand in harms way to defend the defenseless? There are those who have the will to defend and not the capacity. There are those who have the capacity to defend and not the will. Then there are those who silently have the will and capacity and they only need the reason. The time is quickly approaching when those in the last group will need to stand up, speak up and act up. When that time comes, will you stand in harms way or stand in the shadows to observe and report hoping fame finds you in the silence? Perhaps you should revisit Dante and his commentary on the silent.” J Loren Norris

ASK YOURSELF THIS QUESTION: WHAT IS THE COUNTER NARRATIVE I SHOULD BE LEADING?
“Your story of success is not the story being told in the major media, the social media or the classroom. In fact, when you tell your story of success you most likely are skittish about telling the truth in public hearing. Why? Because chances are the five most basic steps, thought processes or core values which lead to your achievements are considered out dated, racist, hegemony and not welcomed on today’s college campuses. That makes your narrative of success a counter narrative of todays conversation and even more important to be told and retold.” J Loren Norris

ITS HARD TO ARGUE WITH A LEADER’S EXPERIENCE.
ONE CAN ARGUE WITH EDUCATION, PHILOSOPHY AND EVEN FACTS, BUT EXPERIENCE IS A BIT TOO PERSONAL TO OVERCOME
“The philosophy of the school room in this generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next. If you want to reshape the entire world, you need only change the content of what is taught in the class room. A kinetic war is not always required. Reshaping culture will happen as those with philosophical input and no experience become policy makers. Even the most educated will disagree. The deepest philosophical exercises untested are only theory. Every leader should value their experiences and the genuine experiences of others before reshaping policies, statutes and more.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS STRIVE TO BE A BRILLIANT CONVERSATIONALIST
EVERY ROOM A LEADER ENTERS PRESENTS FOUNDATION FOR A DIFFERENT CONVERSATION. STRIVE TO BE A BRILLIANT CONVERSATIONALIST
“Learning to speak in every conversation at a different level is a necessity for leadership. To assume one can converse with every person the same is obviously a delusion. Oddly, many leaders assume they can enter a new conversation with people from different walks of life, with differing histories, priorities and core values and speak with them all the same. Take your conversation beyond small talk and into the realm of sharing ideas as the result of your own critical thinking, plus genuine self awareness. If you want to honor the diverse peoples you serve, take time to master your conversation skills.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP MUST BE AS DIVERSE AS A PIZZA BUFFET SALAD BAR
“Leadership is not a hammer and not everyone you lead can me influenced like a nail. The willingness of a leader to assess, consider and apply the differences of one personality versus another is critical before determining the path of communication. A great leader cannot lead everyone the same way. Determining which one needs nurture and which one needs challenge to respond is the artful requirement of the leader.” J Loren Norris

GREAT LEADERS ARE DEALERS IN HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT
“Its has been said humans can live 40 days without food, seven days without water but only seconds without hope. Leaders must give time and attention to understanding the needs, and emotional language of those they lead. Speaking to them the way they hear will give great power for you to encourage them and offering hope. Great leaders deal in hope and encouragement to build their teams.” J Loren Norris

THE SIZE OF EVERY LEADERSHIP PROBLEM IS A FIRST PERSPECTIVE ISSUE THEN A FOCUS ISSUE
“The inability to see a problem from more than one perspective can be catastrophic in your leadership endeavor. The desire to focus on the minute details will often cloud the picture of reality in the blurry periphery. Take time to ask your core team, your inner circle and your coaches or mentors for their perspective on your problems. Zoom out to perceive the bigger picture. Your problems won’t likely disappear, but they will fall into a proper place in the solutions required to address them.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST REGAIN THE ART OF FACE TO FACE COMMUNICATION
“No amount of analysis can render the true meaning behind an AI generated, CGI produced, data driven model of leadership. The plethora meanings, conjectures and manipulations would be incalculable. For a human to offer a simple review of content versus intent would be the equivalent to a doctoral thesis. Humans must remain vigilant to remain relevant. Todays youth are conditioned to trust digital assets over human insight, to expect immediate search results over trusting the process and believe what feels good or sounds good in the moment over a truth which demands patience and potential sacrifice. Leaders must express, embody and embolden face to face person to person, human to human communication for these myriad reasons.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS HOLD THE LINE WHEN THE PATH AHEAD IS UNCLEAR
“It is inevitable as a leader to face times when the future is unclear, unknown and possibly unknowable. No one knew the result of the pandemic, not from a health standpoint, a geo political standpoint or an economic standpoint. Every leader faced the fog of the future like a fiery NASCAR crash at 220 mph. Without a great spotter, knowledge of the race course and nerves of steel, the odds of survival are zero percent. With a bonafide mentor, a solid coach and your own experience of the course as a leader, you should be equipped to hold the line and press into the mystery with hope for positive outcome and a sustainable future.” J Loren Norris

CONTROL AND INFLUENCE ARE NOT THE SAME. GOOD LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE “While influence can be used to control others, control and influence are not the same. Influence advises, admonishes, informs, perhaps cautions, and still allows the decision to be made by those influenced. Control might use influence as a means to an end, but the end is always the same, a surrender of will and rights. Persuasion, manipulation, threats are all mechanisms of control and often influence is used to operate these mechanizations. Good leaders exert influence with the best interest of those they lead in mind, Good leaders allow decisions and consequences to be those of the individual. Be a good leader, not a controlling tyrant,” J Loren NorrisWATCH THE VIDEO 4-24-23:Leading Leaders Podcast for Tell It Like It Is TVMiss something?

GREAT LEADERS MAKE SPACE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FORGOTTEN AND OVERLOOKED
“Loving the unlovable as a leader is harder than leading volunteers. The compassion, caring and concern demonstrated by those who make space for the forgotten and overlooked is a remarkable feature of their character and quality. John Maxwell says ‘Talent is never enough’. Taking time to look past the super stardom of performance and talent in into the heart of the person is a sign of a great leader. Such compassion is a keeping of an unspoken promise delivered without fanfare. Be that kind of leader.” J Loren Norris

BLINDSPOT MONITORS WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE AND YOUR LEADERSHIP
“Are you willing to admit you have blind spots? If not, they are likely to become a destructive factor in your life on the highway and your life in leadership. You need monitors in your car and in your inner circle to alert you to obstacles and obstructions in your path, in your blind spots. You do have blind spots, now you need to ask: What are they? How can I alleviate them? What happens if I do not deal with them? Who can see the blind spots I can not see?” J Loren Norris

TOO MANY OPTIONS CAN PARALYZE A LEADER INTO IN ACTION - FOCUS IS THE ANTIDOTE
A leader who does not have clarity of vision will not have clarity of assignments. This means every assignment from their short and long term goals to their daily to-do list will be mottled, unclear and likely unaccomplished. Simply reiterating the vision on a regular basis will reinforce the purpose, the mission, and the necessity of the daily work. This practice will limit distractions and obliterate the tyranny of the urgent while invigorating the activity and focus of the team.” J Loren Norris

THE MOST PROFOUND, IRREPLACEABLE, CRITICAL ROLE IN LEADERSHIP IS…
“If you love them, you will correct them, direct them, influence and inspire them. A parent’s role in leadership is critically irreplaceable. Too many parents abdicate their responsibility to social media companies, media, Hollywood, and a questionable education system. Be a firm leader, lead the narrative, speak life, give hope, empower them to their own greatness. Be that kind of leader, a responsible parent.” J Loren Norris

WHEN THE WELL RUNS DRY LEADERS KNOW ITS TIME TO REFRESH AND REPLENISH
“Your refill and mine are not likely the same. What charges you up, fills you with life, gives you meaning, pizzazz and energy might be boring as all get out to me and those you lead. It’s also possible that exertion, debate, exercise, a long walk are the thing to recharge your batteries where mine is reading, learning, and studying. Some see that as killing time, I know it is a refill and a refresh. Whatever refills you, golf, a bike ride, a silent beach, window shopping, people watching at the airport, take time to do it. You will only be at you best as a leader if you take time for you to refresh.” J Loren Norris

IGNORING THE DETAILS TO MANAGE THE NARRATIVE IS NOT THE ROLE OF GOOD LEADERS BUT OF MANIPULATORS
“Like leaving ingredients out of the cake recipe or telling less than the whole truth in the courts of law, skipping significant details because they do not suit your agenda is not a sign of good leadership. Managing the details and flow of information for the sake of crafting a narrative which has only one beneficiary is clearly manipulation at best and corruption at worst. These are not the acts of good leaders. Good leaders operate with authenticity, transparency and integrity. Act like that.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LOOK BEHIND THE OZ CURTAIN FOR THE MACHINATIONS OF TRUTH
“The level of trust needed to operate as a true influencer in todays society grows by leaps and bounds by the minute. The level of trust a leader must create, maintain and scrutinize in their role is exponentially greater than only a decade ago. Because there are so many nefarious actors with access to tools for distribution of information, the passion for fact based decision making is a must for real leaders. Understanding this: if you are a leader, an articulate, free thinking, influencer with ideas of your own and a affinity for social order, you are a target. The puppeteers are watching and listening and they will discredit, demean, demoralize, deplatform and if possible destroy you. Be informed. Be prepared. Be surrounded by those who have your six!” J Loren Norris

LEADERS OWN THINGS LIKE PRIVATE PROPERTY, BUSINESS, THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND THEIR MISTAKES
“When it’s really yours, you take care of it. You are worried about the condition of it, the well being and the future. It matters not if it is a toy, a pet, a business or a lawn tool. If it’s yours, you have more concern for the condition and sustainability. When governments abscond with private possessions, businesses and the means of production, they not only disincentivize those who have demonstrated the willingness to rise above and lead, they also do not care for or tend to the needs of whatever they expropriate because they know its not theirs and confiscation is not the same as investment. If you have built something, you are a leader. Guard it and the goodness it brings to society. We need you and more like you.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS DO NOT LIVE FOR AWARDS NOR AFFECTATION BUT FOR AUTHENTIC IMPACT
“If you live for awards or lead for accolades when you get your award, you are likely done with your achievement. If you realize awards are meant to be markers on the path to your greater goals, you are more likely to leave a lasting impact. Live and lead for the authentic impact not the awards or accolades. Enjoy the episode and learn what it means to be a grass bur leader.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF A HUMAN CONVERSATION WITH NO DEVICES IN BETWEEN
”Face to face, eye to eye, nose to nose, that is where the most genuine, life changing and influential conversations take place. The triple dots of the messaging app draw cowards from the hearts of the bravest warrior. They represent the same emotion as ‘we need to talk’. Deep fakes, AI conversation, trick editing, and nefarious manipulation all threaten the landscape of conversation. As a leader you must take the time whenever possible to speak to the humanity of those you lead. Speak to them human to human. Lead them with heart. They need to know you care.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS DON’T WASTE TIME GETTING OFFENDED
impossible to never be offended. Because this is true, we must prepare for the eventuality. Leaders must ask not IF but WHEN I am offended, how will I choose NOW to react when it happens? If leaders waste time being offended, they also waste emotional energy. There are resources which must be in full reserve or replenished regularly. Time, talent, treasure and attention will all be depleted if a leader allows offense and drama to rule their lives. Leaders don’t waste time being offended.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS TAKE A STAND FOR WHAT THEY BELIEVE WITHOUT GAINING CONSENSUS ON THE THE CULTURAL OPINION
“Most often ideas are pushed forward and gain momentum in popular culture by means of the most vocal constituents. Whether the majority or not, the loudest, most persistent, most demanding tend to bring about change. It is incredible that our society functions this way because the majority is not always right, just because they are the majority. Nor is the minority always right because they are the loudest. Leaders must be informed, articulate and bold enough to stand their ground for what they believe to be right, even if they stand like a lonely lighthouse in the storm.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE POWER OF WORDS AND USE THEM WISELY
“Responsible leaders understand the power of their words to wield harm or help in the lives of others. Words used carelessly, manipulatively or flippantly are like landmines left on the playground. There is ample evidence the damage they can cause is catastrophic. Take the time to measure your words, understand their true meanings, lasting effect, immediate application, lingering implication and resonance in the hearts and minds of culture. Mind your words then speak your mind.” J Loren Norris

CONTROL AND INFLUENCE ARE NOT THE SAME. GOOD LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
“While influence can be used to control others, control and influence are not the same. Influence advises, admonishes, informs, perhaps cautions, and still allows the decision to be made by those influenced. Control might use influence as a means to an end, but the end is always the same, a surrender of will and rights. Persuasion, manipulation, threats are all mechanisms of control and often influence is used to operate these mechanizations. Good leaders exert influence with the best interest of those they lead in mind, Good leaders allow decisions and consequences to be those of the individual. Be a good leader, not a controlling tyrant,” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW WHEN TO PAUSE OR PASS BASED ON THESE THREE QUESTIONS
“Is it the right time? Is it the right team? Is it the right idea? Even with the best product idea, incredible speed to market, and great team integration, failure is possible. We have known of viable electric cars in the USA for more than 100 years. Unfortunately, when they were first introduced the petroleum based companies did not embrace the new ideas. The consumer staying power and the political will of the people would not coalesce around such a major shift so early in the age of the automobile. Every opportunity leaders face may have similar obstacles. Having done everything else well, you must address these three questions and decide, should we pause, pass or press on?” J Loren Norris.

LEADERS MUST MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO GENUINELY CARE ABOUT OTHERS
“Life is hard enough to survive without the added pressure of road rage, sibling rivalry at work and a boss who couldn’t care less. Leaders who become myopic and fail to remember that the majority of their team are humans, will fail to care genuinely about the concerns their teammates wrestle with daily. Taking time to care, for real, not in words but empathetically and practicality requires an intentional and concerted effort. It is worth every second required to care about others. The return on investment is immeasurable.” J Loren Norris

WISE LEADERS MASTER THE ART OF LISTENING FAST BUT ANSWERING SLOW
“One of my biggest faults as a leader, father, husband and friend has been speaking too soon. Perhaps before I had all the detail, more often before those I was speaking too were ready to hear. The longer I live, the more valuable I realize listening is. If you lead with a quick response and often find you have to back track, rescind, retract or correct perhaps you are talking fast and listening slowly. All leaders add more value when they take time to listen, understand, evaluate and research the facts and feelings together before passing judgement or mandates. Your best ideas and policies need time to stew. Listen fast but answer slowly.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS GIVE HONOR WHERE HONOR IS DUE - HONOR IS AN ATTITUDE
“The attitude required to give honor to others is humility. Humility is the ability to think of ourselves less often and pay attention to the efforts and accomplishments of others. A leader whose ego will not allow them to give props to people on the team is a leader whose ego will allow them to flourish. Take the time to give honor, build character, set expectations, and raise the bar for everyone you influence. Take the time to honor those who have earned it and you will inspire those who haven’t yet.” J Loren Norris

WISE LEADERS MANAGE MICRO NARRATIVES
“The ability to impact, influence and even redirect someone’s attitude for the day through a simple phrase, comment, or gesture should never be underestimated. Leaders who are wise enough to realize this potential will also intentionally deploy comments, gestures, compliments to encourage those they lead. They will also be very diligent to avoid deleterious remarks out of hand. Be wise with your expressions and gestures. Be wise with your words, each one matters.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THINGS ABOUT THOSE THEY LEAD WHICH ONE MIGHT CALL SECRETS. IS THAT GOOD?
“It might seem like an invasion of privacy, a campaign to play gotcha, a game of leverage and consequences but it doesn’t have to be. A leader should be diligent about the business of reading people. Adding masterful skill to natural gifting is a critical responsibility of good leadership. Leaders perceive what was never spoken because they have trained themselves to spot the hidden things. Team members who feel like a leader is reading their mail so to speak, should simply be asking the question: ‘what is the intent of leadership?’ Leaders must be judicious and respectful in the application of knowledge gleaned not malicious and vengeful. Good leaders apply compassion and wisdom to insight for a win-win in the whole team.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW LEADERS GROW PERPETUALLY - WE NEVER STOP SHARPENING THE AXE
”There is no one alive who has it all figured out. Every leader of every level has something more to learn. Whether its communication skills, how to read people, how to negotiate in a crisis, new accounting practices, new tax laws, new ways of generating leads or serving customers, no one hass all the answers. Because this is true, every great leader is also a perpetual student. Diligence in mastery of your craft, mastery of new skills, and mastery of self is crucial for your next raise or job promotion. Focus on sharpening your axe and your opportunities will grow exponentially. You will become more valuable to your employer even if that’s you.” J Loren Norris

LEADING THE NARRATIVE REQUIRES MAPPING THE MESSAGE TO MAKE IT VIRAL THIS IS A LEADERS ROLE
“Every plan starts with a brainstorm session, followed by a plan test or ‘war game’ to test the validity, then by a test of messaging in the marketplace. Some call this a focus group or test market. Some call it floating the balloon or taking the dog for a walk. In any case it is a matter of tentatively putting your ideas in the public for others to respond to. This test is needed to modify the message to a place of palatability and acceptance. What messages have you tested, included and repeated for those you lead? Where do those messages lead? Is it a prediction or a plan? Do you know? That’s what it means to lead the narrative.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LEAD THE NARRATIVE ONE DINNER TABLE AT A TIME
It’s entirely too easy to abdicate the single most influential relationship any leader will ever have. The relationship with our children, our siblings, our parents is often overlooked when seeking positions of authority, power and impact. Leaders know the power of the dinner table to set the expectations, express the core values and address the elephant in the room. That dinner table space is the opportunity to lead the narrative by listening to and telling stories which identify and extol the core values of our families, communities and nation. Skipping the dinner table In lieu of the movies, the digital devices or the video games will ultimately lead to the demise of all we hold dear. Have dinner with those important to you, start a conversation, lead the narrative.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BEING CONDITIONED FOR FUTURE RESPONSE AND THEY MAKE MENTAL NOTES
recognizes when they are being manipulated, managed, or conditioned they should also know the place where they must stand their ground and declare ‘No More!’ Leaders who are silently accepting of the conditioning for themselves are not fit to lead those who rely on them. Leaders who do not know what core values are worth cherishing and defending are questionable as leaders. Take heart, take courage, speak boldly, recognize the coming challenges we face and know wehere you will draw the line. Those who look to you to lead them need that from you. You owe it to them and coming generations to know well and stand clearly for the matters which matter most.” J Loren Norris

IMMERSION PLUS MOMENTUM IS THE LEADER'S MAGIC FORMULA FOR SUCCESS
Distractions are multifaceted, multiplying in number and manageable when identified soon enough. Immersion on the other hand requires intense focus, intention and commitment. When a leader commits to being fully focused and engaged in the matters at hand, they model the necessary attention the rest of the team will need to operate with excellence. When a leader allows small details to go unnoticed and small issues to go unaddressed, the larger issues can spiral out of control quickly delaying, dismantling or even destroying, recent progress. When the focus of immersion is an organizational core value, momentum is a natural reaction. Take time to train your team in immersive learning and build momentum for your team.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS AVOID DANCES WITH WORDS BECAUSE INTENTION AND ACTION SPEAK LOUDER
“It has long been said, actions speak louder than words. Unfortunately, many leaders today charge into a project or assignment with an abundance of words without understanding and intentions not backed by action. It seems there is no shortage of people with excuses, explanations and justifications but a great shortage of people who actually get stuff done. From the local fast food restaurant to the halls of congress, we see people abdicate their responsibilities, throw shade and blame like a fertilizer spreader, and redefine the meaning of every word they utter in defense of inaction. What we seldom see is the ones quick to solve a problem even when the task is not in their job description. Every leader must become the latter and not the former of these two. Every leader must establish and clearly articulate definitive expectations for outcomes and the consequences as well as rewards attached to those outcomes.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW IS CONSISTENCY WHEN YOU THINK NO ONE IS LOOKING THAT MATTERS MOST
conscious mind does not simply disappear from our lives. The drama, trauma, tragedies of life seem to linger beneath the surface and rear their ugly heads at the most inopportune time. Like a duff fire or tsunami the disaster is looming and imminent but the evidence is only detectable by those highly trained to see it. A leader who focuses on consistency when no one is looking, is a leader who has learned to find peace in any circumstance and to genuinely cope with the harsh realities which plague them, both personally and professionally. A great leader, mentor, coach, pastor, or counselor will also possess the skills to serve as an early warning beacon for those they lead. The leader will recognize the signs of a storm coming and employ tested strategies for redirection, remedy and heart healing help. Taking time to reflect, reevaluate, redress the issues of the day is not an easy assignment, however, it is your assignment as a leader.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW AND USE THE POWER OF STORIES TO SAVE TIME, MONEY AND RELATIONSHIPS
“Communication is a leadership key for success. Failure to communicate is costly in lost time, wasted money and damaged relationships. The power of a story to shorten the time curve is an immediate and measurable return on investment. The money saved by explaining the process appropriately and thoroughly is often unimaginable until is is seen. The damage done to relationships through poor or no communication will often destroy teams, families and organizations. Becoming a better leader means becoming a better communicator. Becoming a better communicator means selecting and telling better stories. Make a conscious effort to use better stories.” J Loren Norris —- CLICK HERE for the FREE StoryPower Assessment - https://form.jotform.com/222696275293163

LEADERS LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND THE DEMANDS OF LEADING
“It’s difficult to lead when you face the challenges of people, production and profit. Its more difficult to lead when you realize or even feel like you’re doing so all alone. Leaders who are training up leaders should be astute enough to realize when someone they are mentoring is struggling. Whether the challenge is a self inflicted misstep, a true failure, a genuine mistake or it is the efforts of someone else who is working to sabotage their leadership impact, as their mentor they need your input asap. Advise them as much as they will allow, but make sure you are aware of the issue and not remaining silent.” J Loren Norris

THE BEST AND THE WORST OF HUMANITY IS SEEN IN THE FACE OF LEADERSHIP
“From the persuasive toddler to the world’s worst tyrant, those who alter, transform or influence your behavior, choices, conversation are leaders in your life whether you call them that or not. It is not the label, the title, the position or the paycheck which defines a leader, it is the magnitude of their influence. The more ability they possess to modify your decisions, the more they are a leader. Influence does not confer to them good intent, competence or character. Good and bad people are leaders. Good and bad people wield influence. Which are you?” J Loren Norris

LEADERS JUMP WHEN THEY HAVE NO WINGS!
“Understand three things about your role as a leader when it comes to moving forward. First, as leader you must be capable of seeing a vision for the future where everyone else sees a blank slate. Next, you musty be willing to take risks others are not willing to take. Finally, you must be able to see it is not all about you. Your future is not your past or present, it is more about how you will impact others today and for the future of your legacy.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WEATHER THE STORM WITH PREPAREDNESS, AWARENESS AND PERSEVERANCE & ALL LEADERSHIP IS LOCAL AND DOWNSTREAM OF CULTURE
“Leadership knows when the storm is coming. Strong leaders face the storm with preparedness, awareness and perseverance. These attributes are characteristics of a culture which begins and ends with the leader. Integrity, transparency and grit are core values which drive the personal culture of strong leaders because all leadership is local. When the political storms, financial storms, storms of civil unrest or literal storms ravage the landscape of society, leaders who are prepared, aware and committed will rise up with an unprecedented level of authority, influence and readiness.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS TRUST THOSE WHO EARN IT NOT THOSE WHO DEMAND IT
“Leaders know the art of projection is a result of the nature of flawed humanity. When we know ourselves to be untrustworthy, we have an issue with trusting others. When a leader feels the need to remind you often that you can, should, must trust them, it is often because they feel like they have something to hide. It can also be they don’t trust you at all and subconsciously they desire to build trust by expressing trustworthiness - almost a form of positive reinforcement as an affirmation. Either way, the consistent need to verbalize trustworthiness should be over shadowed by acts of true integrity. A leader who keeps their word, honors their promises, lives what they proclaim will build trust.” J Loren Norris

SERVICE LEADS TO ACCESS. ACCESS LEADS TO OPPORTUNITY.
“Nothing helps build credible relationships like the humility required to serve another. When a leader recognizes a connection which could bring future opportunities for personal growth, business exposure, or synergy in client bases the best way to test the waters is to offer something before asking for something. The most successful people in the world have been scouted, approached and taken advantage of many, many times before their achievement was renown. They are astute at recognizing a scam, a mooch or business collaboration worth following. Serving leads to access to people, business and opportunity. Serve first.” J Loren Norris

A CLEARLY DEFINED AND WELL ARTICULATED PROCESS LEADS TO REPEATABLE SUCCESS
“Leaders who are diligent about identifying, clarifying and articulating the process which lead to their success are in great position to repeat what worked. Anyone on their team stands to benefit from mistakes made, lessons learned and opportunities revealed in the process. Take the time to discover and make note of what works well and what does not. Share those discoveries with your team in a way they can replicate them, become expert in solutions which work and share them with those they train. This means you can multiply your efforts and repeat your success.” J Loren Norris

A LEADER'S VISION HAS 3 ROLES IN BUSINESS: DRIVES EXECUTION, OPERATION AND LID SETTING
“Without a vision, the people on your team might function but they will not function optimally. They will do the work prescribed for the day. They will have no inspiration, inclination, or innovation to do more than the scope of their job description. Any obstacle has the potential to derail any project. Every setback is a step back. Every new opportunity is a bridge too far. However, a well crafted and well articulated vision will drive execution at the highest level, insure operations catches every opportunity to grow, and set the lid as a high bar to be reached and raised regularly. Work on your vision as much as you work on your business plan and fundraising. A strong vision will make the others easier.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS AVOID THE FOUNDER'S SYNDROME ONLY BY AWARENESS AND HUMILITY
“Founders have a tendency to believe the world is a better place because of them, as they should. Unfortunately this often leads to believing the world could not function the same without them, and this is not true. The work they have done, the organizations they have launched, the people they have helped are all grateful for their dedicated efforts and accomplishments, but if the demand for what they have done is significant, someone would have done it without them as well. Founders are invaluable but not irreplaceable. Awareness of this truth should spark humility and collaboration at the highest levels.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WILL BECOME TARGETS - DEFENSE - OFFENSE - INTEGRITY
“When you rise up as a leader, you will be targeted. When you are targeted, you may or may not be given the opportunity to defend yourself. When you you rise up as a leader you will suddenly be on everyone’s radar. This is the benefit and curse of becoming a person of influence. Those who despise you will look to take you down by truth or travesty. Those who admire you will inadvertently maximize your exposure to risk by unintended affiliation or relationships. In any of these situations the best defense is a good offense and the best offense is integrity. When partnered with transparency, integrity means awareness, acknowledgment and admission to faults before they can be used as weakness. Build your skin to be thicker yet more transparent. Build your leadership to operate in integrity.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ALLOW OPPORTUNITIES TO FLOURISH AMID NEW AWARENESS WITHOUT DERAILING THIER VISION
“Craft a vision with diligence, intentionality and purpose. Know who you will help and why, the how will become more clear along the way. Once your target is in sight, know that the HOW will appear as a serious of potential projects, outtakes and possible distractions. Some of these must be completed for the vision to be achieved, others are irrelevant to the bigger picture and will suck up resources of time, talent, treasure and attention delaying the accomplishments of your original vision. It’s your job as leader to distinguish the difference then delegate or navigate the proper resources and resolve.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS AN ATTITUDE BUT CERTAIN ATTITUDES DESTROY LEADERSHIP QUALITY
“The thoughts you choose to think and how you feel about those thoughts, that’s the base definition of attitude. If your thoughts about money, people, profit and relationships are not accurate, then how you feel about them will not be either. The result is a bad attitude. A bad attitude is an antecedent to good leadership and even more so to running a successful business. If you want to lead a business well, get your attitude right and you will have a greater influence in more lives.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE BOTH THE DEFENDERS AND THE THREAT TO FREEDOMS WE ENJOY
“When leaders insist on changing the rules in the middle of the game it is an indicator they are concerned with losing as the rules are now. They want to create their own distinct advantage. Leaders, persons with influence, be it political, financial, relational represent the greatest threat to freedom as we know it. Honestly though, leaders with influence are also the greatest defenders of our freedoms. I challenge you to be the latter. If rules need to change, be insistent to make that transformation for the better of all not a selfish solution,” J Loren Norris

LEAD YOUR OWN THOUGHTS OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL AND THE IMPACT ON YOUR HEALTH WILL ASTOUND YOU
“Healthy thinking can produce a healthy body. Toxic thinking can produce a toxic body. This is true of the human organism and human organizations. The quality of one’s thinking determines the quality of one’s life. If others can benefit, profit or gain control from influencing your thinking in a bad way, the money motive alone might be enough to corrupt their intentions. Guarding your thoughts could well become a feature of basic survival. It is already a truth of optimal health and an optimized life.

“Passion will carry an idea through many obstacles, but passion unbridled is like a gunny sack of hot coals. The energy passion provides is a great tool when managed well. However, in an environment where cooler heads prevail, passion is a disruption and a distraction.

EVERY LEADER FACES A PARASITE THREAT - WHAT DO YOU DO?
“A parasite in your body and a parasite in your company have the same strategy as well as the same effect. They suck the energy, resources and life from you while depositing their own excrement and toxicity in its place. In every way a bodily infestation can devastate, debilitate and disable an organizational parasite will do the same. If you are suffering from leaks of customer data, marketing power, leadership authority and failure to thrive, you might have a parasite. If you are experiencing unexplained sources of emotional and relational toxicity, you might have a parasite. If your greatest efforts to get things back on target are met with more of the same troubles, you might have a parasite. Lead well by getting a detox underway immediately.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP REQUIRES MORALITY VALUES AND CORE TRUTH IN EXPRESSION AND DEED
Suppression of the truth is sadly nothing new. For all of human existence, history belongs to the victor. Meaning whomever is winning the battle or has won the war claims the right to tell the story as they see it. Truth becomes the opinion of the victor. In many instances the truth as we know it is the result of a carefully crafted and subversively delivered narrative. The absence of certain evidence, the manipulation of certain facts, the silence of certain ideas replaces actual history with something else. Leadership demands a grounded and honest approach to truth in both expression and action even when it’s uncomfortable.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THIS - BEING MANAGED AND BEING LEAD ARE NOT THE SAME THING
“I know not one person who has ever experienced the true freedom of being lead properly who prefers to be managed, manipulated and controlled. I know many who have traded their freedom for the supposed security of management. I also have sat across the table from, dined with, prayed with and spoken at length with those who lived most of their life in a system of utter control who long for the freedom and opportunity which has made the USA legendary for more than a century. Those who long to be managed, have never tasted or even imagined the freedom of being lead.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LOOK BENEATH THE SURFACE NARRATIVE AND INTO THE DEEPER MEANING
“Most people are unaware how much they reveal in the words they do not say. The little white lies, omissions, altered meanings and misrepresentation are equal parts subconscious and subversive. Some communicators are crafty and intentional in what they say and don’t say. Other communicators are simply trained to echo what they have heard before and the presence or absence of certain terms is outside the scope of their awareness or intent. They are dutifully following the narrative. Either way, leaders must listen for the agenda in the blank spots so they can proactively encounter the dangers and lead the narrative on their own.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS VALUE WYSIWYG AND KNOW EVERYTHING ELSE IS SUS
“No one likes to be deceived, lied to or misled. It would be nice if the people we interact with would simply tell the truth. Better yet, what if there was a WYSIWYG button, like the easy button, you just smack it and all the misleading filters and facades fall away? My challenge to you as leaders is simple: be honest, operate in integrity, take the lumps which come with telling the truth and let the chips fall where they may. Some people will hate you for it. Some people will love you for it. Some people will be repelled and others endeared for life. Your integrity is more of an asset than your 401k. Honest transparency is a friend worthy of the risk.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS EXPERIENCE THE GREATEST TRANSFORMATION WHERE DISCIPLINE MEETS ENVIRONMENT
“Every leader must choose to surround themselves in the right environment and that choice alone requires drastic amounts of discipline. Is success based on nature or nurture? It is an age old debate, I believe the evidence is ample to state BOTH are significant if not equal in their influence and impact. As a leader you must seek the mentors who have been where you’re going and you must also be the anchor of an environment which allows others space, encouragement and empowerment to grow.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS A MIND GAME
“A leader whose mind isn’t right is a leader who won’t lead long. The ability to maintain control of your own attitude in all circumstances is a requirement of leadership. It is a tough assignment. It demands the greatest of tenacity and dogged determination but a positive mental attitude is the single most valuable asset of a great leader. Regardless the tragic, dramatic, emotional nature of your team and surroundings, managing yourself and your attitude will provide employment security and financial opportunity for a leader at any level.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW EXACTLY HOW THE LAW OF THE PICTURE AND GEESE ARE RELATED
“The idea of shared and equal results, also known as equity in many circles, defies the logic of true success. Meritorious accomplishments are indicative of a different way of viewing and serving the world. The philosophical worldview which drives work ethic, reward and effort sees the individual as an entity serving the greater good. The reward for such conscientious sacrifice is returned not only in good will but also financially. Wealth is therefore a result of service and sacrifice, not just presumed privilege. Equity is the return on the investments of hard work, diligence and action not the redistribution of the fruits of another’s labor. What’s good for the goose is ample reward for ample effort.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW WE ARE ALL BETTER TOGETHER -WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY TOGETHER
“Collocation and unity are not the same. Sharing the same space and not sharing common goals or purpose are akin to sitting in the same row boat and paddling in opposite directions. There may be a flurry of activity, but no progress will be made. When a family or team share common goals and predefined purpose they also have something to work toward. This will also help to assign roles, set specific targets, measure progress and celebrate achievements together. It is the leader’s responsibility to identify and establish the vision which defines common goals. Be more than together, be unified.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW NO ONE IS UNTOUCHABLE
“The only thing worse than being taken advantage of, cheated, manipulated or abused, is becoming a perpetual victim of the abuser. The hope for revenge or justice is a trap of abuse all its own. The body and brain will react in the same manner three weeks, three months, three decades after the incident so long as the victim dwells on it mentally. Allowing yourself to live in the memory hoping to get even will destroy your health and holds no guarantee you will see the day of justice. It’s time to set your vision on things to come. Set your focus and attention on a hopeful future and your health will thank you. Trust me, those who hurt you with supposed impunity will face their day of justice.” J Loren Norris

“If you are not willing to do what it takes to succeed rest assured, success will NOT hunt you down. Three things required to find success are priorities, focus and action.

LEADERS KNOW A STRONG NARRATIVE WILL CORRUPT GOOD VALUES & STRONGLY HELD BELIEFS
”The narrative is a powerful tool of leadership and influence. The magnitude of social experiments which test the narrative, the level of influence and the resulting behavior of the general public is near frightening. The ability to persuade folks to violate their own conscience, moral values and strongly held beliefs by way of a well crafted narrative and implied positions of authority seems evident. As a leader, your influence, your narrative, your ability to persuade come at a great price and with significant responsibility. Wield them well.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE KEEPERS OF THE FOUNDATIONAL NARRATIVES OF SOCIETY
“From the dawn of civilization, elites have made decisions for everyone else to live by. There have been equitable and egalitarian societies but they are not long tolerated by those who fancy themselves the ruling class. Feudalism it seems is the preferred form of structure for those who consolidate power and exert control. History tends to repeat itself in cycles. Those cycles need not be as lengthy or devastating if we learn from past mistakes by taking copious notes and applying what we learn. Leaders must be the keepers of the foundational narratives when those with less than noble motives begin to reshape the narrative for their own ends.” J Loren Norris

”The problem is the problem has been misleading. For a generation or more, those who lead the narratives of societies and cultures have manipulated the public into consumerism and compliance through a litany of untrue but well told and oft repeated stories.

“Its great when a leader makes a point which reveals a deep and lasting truth. Its better when people who hear it can actually recall that profound truth after lunch. Great wisdom delivered in the form of stories, buried in the context of a memorable moment, conveyed with wit, wisdom and emotion will be remembered for decades. Take the time to mine the stories of your life which demonstrate lessons worth recalling and applying. Rehearse telling these stories to become an entertaining expert at delivering them.

“Reading statistics, memorizing data points, transferring information are all forms of communication required to be a leader. While this is true, it is also true none of these elements of communication represent human connection. Any of the aforementioned communications could be done by AI with no modicum of empathy or human emotion.

“As long as humans have conversed they have argued, disagreed, debated, rationalized and protected their own philosophies. The collection of stories assembled to promote their notions are collectively known as a narrative. The prevailing narrative shapes cultures, reasoning, theological positions, political statements and parenting. From peer pressure to political posturing narrative is a driving force and stories drive every narrative. It is the responsibility of the leaders in any social structure to select the stories and lead the narrative.

”Being a great communicator requires more than an audience to speak to and a single story to tell.

WHY LEADERS REHEARSE THEIR OWN STORY HUNDREDS OF TIMES BEFORE GOING PUBLIC
“There is a limited percentage of natural communicators who are gifted at impromptu speaking. The majority of communicators benefit from rehearsing the words they plan to say. The more often a story is rehearsed, the more comfortable or polished the delivery becomes. The more the speaker experiences the nuances of the story and considers the impact to themselves and variations of listeners, the more likely the story will hit home or resonate without being an emotional burden for the storyteller. A well rehearsed, well crafted story serves a leader on many levels and for many reasons. Diligently select, craft and rehearse any story you might consider telling to build your audience, client base or brand.” J Loren Norris

THE NARRATIVE EXPRESSES THE PRIORITY THROUGH THE STORIES TOLD - LEADERS CHOOSE THE STORIES
“Every story you hear on a daily basis comes to you through a gatekeeper. These gatekeepers select, craft and deliver stories to match the narrative they wish for you to believe, follow and participate in. This narrative expresses the priorities of the gatekeepers and by implication shapes the priorities they expect you to value as well. By virtue of the influence these story selectors garner and maintain, they are leaders of societies, culture, national politics and even global governance. These leaders hold titles such as politicians, media managers, tv producers, editors, program directors, ministry leaders, rap artist, music producers and marketers. What if YOU selected the stories worthy of being told, carried the narrative being believed, shaped the priorities driving culture? You could, you should, you must LEAD THE NARRATIVE.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE NARRATIVE CONTROLS JUSTICE LIKE THE RECEPTIONIST CONTROLS THE SCHEDULE
“The narrative, the script in the leader’s head, the world view which drives their opinions and strategies will always predict policies, procedures and precedence. The team they lead will learn to conform to that world view or participate elsewhere. In this way, the narrative of the leader will determine the parameters of fairness and justice. Who gets promoted, how the promotion decision is made, who gets rewarded and how the system of reward is designed will all be driven ultimately by the narrative of those in charge. This is precisely why the battle for the narrative is as old as humanity’s interactions with each other. The pen truly is mightier than the sword.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW SHORT CUTS, COST SAVINGS AND WORK AROUNDS USUALLY TAKE LONGER AND COST MORE
“A mentor of mine, Dr. Randy Weiss has reminded me many times: ‘No matter what the project, plan or production it will always take longer than you thought and cost more than you thought.’ This is no where more true than in the realm of leadership. Hiring people without due diligence might seem to be a work around to onboard training. Delaying the upgrades to tools, systems and procedures might seem to be a cost saving strategy. Skipping the paperwork, approval process or research might seem to be a short cut to the next level. Great leaders learn from the mistakes of others. Short cuts take longer to get there. Work arounds require twice as much work. Not every cost saving saves money over the long haul.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS RECOGNIZE WHEN ITS TIME TO GET PRIORITIES STRAIGHT
“Leadership carries a great deal of responsibility. One of those primary responsibilities is to identify, clarify and focus on true priorities. Every team needs an anchor leader who is grounded to the absolutes. Sure we all need visionaries, goal setters, those who stretch our efforts to the max and challenge every driving core belief. But more importantly we need those who hold our feet to the fire of the basics upon which we succeed. It has been my experience that when goals change and visions change year over year, we tend to lose sight of reality: life is both fragile and temporary. We will all die and face judgement. Every human will live forever. The question is not if, but where will you live forever. The answer rests in who you align your soul with. Beyond the sales goals, revenue targets, and other markers of success, this decision must be made a short and long term priority. No one knows if they have decades, days or minutes to live. Make that eternal alignment decision a priority.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST ACCEPT THE GRAVITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR OWN INFLUENCE
”The level of responsibility which comes with the influence of leadership and the leadership of influence must be taken seriously. Leaders who clamber and compete for growing numbers of followers and greater realms of influence must also be well aware they are very likely altering the trajectory of lives they speak into. If one seeks to be famous, they are assuming the position of role model. They don’t call them INFLUENCERS for nothing! Remember, the law of the picture says ‘people do what people see’. To make concerted effort to influence others and assume no responsibility for the outcome of their altered behavior is fool hearty at best. At worst it is a nefarious and wicked deception.” J Loren Norris

“It’s not enough to win the ideological, intellectual or moral skirmish if you lose the war to overconfidence. If you play to win by a slim margin at the buzzer, you may as well be playing to lose. Leaders who play every game as though there is not cost to losing, Weill not only lose in the short run, but they will lose in the long run, lose in their legacy and lose ground that cannot be regained in posterity.

LEADERS LEARN THE HARD WAY: ONE CAN ONLY EFFECTIVELY SPEAK THE TRUTH BY LETTING GO THE OUTCOME
“The truth will set you free. It might also set you free of your job, your connections, your reputation, your political clout, your social standing and your livelihood. In an era where loyalty and surrender are driven more by financial gain than morality. In an era where integrity is for sale to the highest bidder. In an era where truth, lies and manipulation seem to be interchangeable based on position and profit, the best interest of customers and constituents is the last consideration for right and wrong. If you are a leader committed to truth, absolute truth, and the notion that right and wrong are not fair weather friends, then you are a leader who will pay dearly in terms of power, prestige and profit for speaking the truth. You can choose to pay now and play later or play along now and pay dearly later. Either way you’re going to pay. You must choose when and who you will pay.” J Loren Norris

The battle to keep composure, maintain your reputation, communicate your intention clearly, lead your team well and provide for your family will be fought mostly in your own soul. Your mind, will and emotions represent the most formidable foe anyone will ever face. Leaders determined to win this battle must fight differently. The stories rattling around in the heart and head can be the greatest nemesis of a leader. StoryPowerMasterclass will empower leaders to lead the narrative and master the battle of internal stories.” J Loren Norris

TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERS UNDERSTAND AND DEFEND AGAINST DECEPTIVE COMMUNICATION
“The skill set needed to manipulate, coerce, or direct the behavior of an audience requires time, diligence and significant investment to acquire. Those who commit themselves to this process of learning and mastery can become the equivalent of a SuperBowl MVP in the area of communication and leadership. Sadly, the mastery of this skill does not imply strength of moral character, presence of integrity or commitment to enduring truth. Transformative leaders know the power of these communication skills and are astute to both deploy and defend against them when needed.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS AND SPEAKERS SHARE A COMMON AND SIGNIFICANT TRAIT WITH PINEAPPLES. WHAT IS IT?
“Leaders who get put under the extreme pressures of leadership will discover their true inner self quickly. Speakers, parents, teachers, influencers are all like pineapples in the same way. No one can manufacture a speech or presentation which defies their nature for very long. Ancient wisdom says ‘from the depths of man’s heart he speaks.’ When the pressure forces a leader’s hand before the brain mouth filter is activated, we see the real nature, authenticity and integrity of the leader. Each leader must take stock and increase their own awareness of their preparedness for public pressure and the risk of exposure it carries.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS RESIST CERTAIN FLOW ENVIRONMENTS BECAUSE STRUGGLE HAS ITS REWARD
“It is possible to avoid almost all struggle in life. It is possible to live a life of ease with no push back, resistance and pain… for a season. In the end, hard lessons befall everyone. Short cuts, going along to get along, moving in the path of least resistance will come to an abrupt end in a collision with awareness of reality. Leaders know the rewards of struggle are often hard to define, harder to achieve, wait on the other side of massive risk and can result in the loss of everything which matters, even your life. Leaders also know this: a society of flow followers only is a recipe for domination and submission on a massive societal scale.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS DO THEIR OWN PUSH UPS AND THOSE WHO DO NOT ARE A DANGER TO OTHERS
“The number of times a leader fails to lead because they have taken too many short cuts to get to the top is both mind boggling and tragic. The worst part is the aftermath and damage they can do to the projects and people they have been responsible for due to their own lack of preparation and diligence. Good leaders do their own push ups. They take their role, their influence and their decisions seriously. They own the accomplishments and failures of their effort and do not delegate the hard stuff unless they are using it as a teaching moment.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW HOW TO STOCK THE CABINET WITH PROPER TOOLS
“Team building and team acquiring are learned leadership disciplines. The ability to write a thorough and accurate job description then match it to an honest resume has become an art form of the most skilled. It’s not enough to check and trust the degree plan, diploma or even referrals. The skills acquired and the education accumulated will not outpace bad character. Hiring for what they know will still result in firing for who they are if leadership is not diligent in the pursuit of persons over papers. Leaders are not managers. Leaders know the critical importance of alignment before assignment.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT
“There will always be something you don’t know. Even the most brilliant, most educated, most inquisitive person cannot know everything. The secret rests in the humility to say I don’t know partnered with the wisdom to say I will find out and get back to you. Good leaders are also aware when the knowledge, data, information requested is not in their realm of competence or responsibility and should be delegated to an expert whose lane it is. As a leader, you must know when you don’t know and what to do next: defer, delegate or decline.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE SEEDERS NOT CEDERS OR CEDARS
“The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is today. Otherwise there will be no hope for trees tomorrow. Leaders who surrender power, authority, responsibility or control also surrender influence. Leaders who are ceders abdicate their opportunities to establish today what will shape tomorrow and have failed as leaders in my opinion. Leaders who are cedars, seek stardom, notoriety, celebrity and recognition for themselves, they may as well cede their influence. They are influencing in the pursuit of acknowledgement not accomplishment. Leaders who are seeders leave a lasting and worthwhile legacy. Seeders are leaders who plant, nurture, protect and cultivate seeds worthy of reproduction. Seeds of good ideas, discipline, loyalty, commitment, hard work, persistence and grit are seeds which bear fruit worth harvesting.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LEARN TO READ AND INTERPRET TELLS BOTH SUBCONSCIOUS AND INTENTIONAL
“Some tells are hidden, subconscious and even the person with the tell is unaware the secrets they are revealing. Others tells are planned, contrived and manipulative. They seem to be subtle oversights, but they are planted in a scene, image or conversation to lead one to specific conclusions for a reason. Leaders learn to read and interpret tells in order to avoid being mislead, embezzled or deceived. As a leader you should be student of negotiation skills, reading body language, NLP and other techniques for discerning the truth from those you lead and those you serve. Don’t be fooled by the tell, subconscious or overt.” J Loren Norris

Know this: the information you are consuming is managed and curated as it is delivered to you. All information is categorized, assembled, measured, and served to you as a leader in order to lead you to believe certain things. I call this the narrative. The narrative is an overall message, theme or agenda which is promoted by a collection of stories carefully arranged to lead to a predetermined conclusion.

WHY LEADERS MUST LEAD THE NARRATIVE Watch the video!
“It’s important to know the truth. More than the ideas accepted as truth, more than the repeated narrative, more than the most commonly shared opinion, stories impact the way we live our lives, build social structure and craft policy both domestic and international. Leaders who master their craft as communicators learn to select the stories they should tell, craft the stories they tell well and win the hearts of the people with whom they wish to connect. These are the required steps to lead the narrative in a leader’s sphere of influence and we need more leaders who are supremely confident, competent and courageous to get busy in this effort.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS EXPERIENCE AND EXPRESS GRATITUDE ESPECIALLY IN FAILURE
“Nothing builds motivation, momentum and manageable energy in the failures of life like gratitude. In times of failure, the lack of hope, along with the sense of despair and defeat can destroy the ambitions of even the greatest leaders. The humility to admit wrong, the selflessness to accept responsibility and the courage to accept the consequences will greatly serve the potential for a comeback to success. However, to regain momentum and rebuild motivation the key is the ability to experience and express gratitude even in the midst of the worst consequences.” J Loren Norris

“They say it takes years to build trust and only seconds to destroy it. The commitment and loyalty required for strong relationships is often underestimated in effort to maintain and hard to explain in magnitude of importance.

“It is true that cell phones represent an under acknowledged threat to the minds, psychological health and social skills of young people. It is also true that cell phones can be significantly disruptive in many environments including the classroom. It is also true the last two political or election cycles have been greatly influenced by parents who became aware of goings on in the classrooms across America during the lockdowns of the pandemic. Now parents are being told by their kids, the teacher has advised them what happens in class is not the business of the parent.

This is a lively discussion around education and this system of schooling in the USA over the last few generations. How can parents be more engaged? What should parents pay closer attention to? Wha is the real agenda of professional educators? How does faith, democracy, word play and stress impact the learning ability of children and the future strength of families?

LEADERS CANNOT FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN NOR CAN THEY LEAD THE INTENTIONAL VAGABOND
“You cannot fix what is not broken seems like such a ridiculous thought. One might wonder why such a phrase exists. The truth is, expectations for how a system functions, the results gap which comes from those expectations when compared to actual results and the frustration of dealing with such a system can be overwhelming. The expectations are similar when trying to lead someone to the next level of success who is content in the level of failure they are experiencing now. Even the best leader will struggle to positively influence the intentional vagabond.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW GETTING PEOPLE TO THE TABLE TRANSFORMS CULTURE
“A seat at the table is an invitation to bring radical transformation. This does not imply agreement, unification of thought or even compromise. A seat at the table is a chance to understand, appreciate, accept and harmonize with people of different cultures, societies, worldviews and basic ideologies. Through conversation and compassion we can transform the world and lead the narrative toward peace. We can also strip the profitability from the works of division and angst created by those who seek disharmony for the sake of power and control. If you lead, lead people to the table, lead people to a compassionate conversation, lead the narrative to peace.” J Loren Norris

“Sometimes the hardest path to recognize is the easiest path to follow. It has been said so many times that anything worth having is worth working for and success is always preceded by hard work. The mentality and mindset which drives this is often based on scarcity. To realize that natural law is often in your favor and conspiring for you to win is counter cultural but actually natural.

“The beautiful lie isn’t always the same lie. However, beautiful lies have this in common: they play hard on the vanity and ego of the recipient of the deceit. If you are being offered a grand gesture, an opportunity which sounds too good to be true, a offer you can’t refuse, do your homework first. Also take time to do an internal gut check for just how much of the offerings, services or products serve only the purpose of making you feel good about yourself but in the end do not impact the bottom line.

“If you have ever heard a team member state the phrase ‘the ends justifies the means’ that should cause a leader’s ears to perk up.

A person who operates with the above philosophy will often feign alignment because their ‘end’ is different than yours. Leader beware.” J Loren Norris

Alignment on the issues of values, mission and vision is an absolute must for leaders at any level.

LEADERS PLAN WHEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR A PLAN... YET
“The plan is the plan until the plan doesn’t work. But planning for a contingency when such an event has never happened before is an art form of sorts. For years I have carried tools which most people shake their heads upon seeing. Its one thing to plan for coping with an emergency which has been faced before. A good leader takes time to think about what could happen but hasn’t yet and still creates a plan to survive and thrive in the unknown future.” J Loren Norris

PERFECTION IS AN ILLUSION EXCELLENCE IS AN EXPECTATION - LEADERS KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
“It is not realistic to hold out for perfection. Not for your team, your spouse, your clients or yourself. The best you can do is the best you can do. That should be, must be your expectation for yourself and for all those you lead. When the best one can do is genuine and yet still falls short of the highest ideals or expectations there is a gap. That may be a performance gap, an aptitude gap, an attitude gap or a training gap. Before acting as a leader to close the gap, make sure it is well identified and clearly articulated. A good leader knows it is GRACE which covers the gap before correction is applied. Next, close the gap. Train them up to reach the standards or help them find a job which is a better fit for their attitude and aptitude.” J Loren Norris

LEADING THE NARRATIVE DEMANDS A GRIP ON CULTURE
“Awareness of the differences in culture are a critical aspect of leading. A leader who is culturally blind or isolated will fail to lead in multiple environments. The arrogant presumption of acclimation is a dangerous blind spot for many leaders. When people migrate, are forced to relocate or find themselves the unwitting participants of common gentrification, they often carry with them the culture from their origin. A leader’s expectations should be tempered by this reality. This means the leader must be familiar with the many influencing cultures they lead. Failure to do so means communication which will not relate, resonate or become relevant to those you lead.” J Loren Norris

LEAD THE NARRATIVE BECAUSE YOUR STORY IS YOUR EXPERIENCE NOT A MYTH
“Your story will become someone else’s narrative the moment they discover how to generate revenue from it. Is your life a movie waiting to be cast? Is your story of pain and tragedy someone else’s best selling novel begging to be written? Will your hard earned success become the fodder of politicians, pundits, publishers and movie producers? It will if you do not invest in learning to select, craft, and deploy the incidences of your life which are the narrative you live. Someone has already spotted the parts of your story worth capitalizing on. They also know what parts they will minimize because it doesn’t suit their predetermined narrative. You must truthfully lead the narrative of your own life. StoryPower MasterClass will teach you how.” J Loren Norris

“Anything you say can and will be used against you. It does not say, will be used to benefit or exonerate you. Nope, every word you utter will be measured in its value to coerce, manipulate, silence, or restrain you. Leaders must exercise extreme caution and wisdom when speaking in public. Job interviews, media interviews, and even casual conversations are places where the wrong turn of phrase or slip of the tongue could lead to big trouble. Be wise enough to lead the narrative!

LEADERS CONNECT BEYOND THE STEREOTYPES AND LABELS COMMON SOCIETIES ACCEPT
“Whether you are taking about political divisions, religious differences, racial or cultural heritage, none of these classifications or stereotypes are valid for selecting or validating a relationship. The relationship leaders build and encourage must be connections built on the uniqueness of the individual. Core values will always impact mindset and worldview. Those are often directly reflective of environmental conditions. However, deep personal relationships and leadership connections should be as personalized as the person one is leading. Take the time to connect at this level. Don’t let the narrative select or determine how you engage with your team.” J Loren Norris

It also represents commonality, shared core values, common interest or concerns as well as easy to get along with. In other words, ‘know, like and trust’ as Bob Burg would say. It would also represent the ability to represent the cause with integrity and courage. Their willingness to make sacrifices for the good of the cause falls under this umbrella. However, in the end, the legacy and longevity of the cause which chose you as it’s leader is exponentially more important than your own ego, reputation or accomplishments.” J Loren Norris

HEY LEADERS! LETS TALK MORE NARRATIVE
“Definitions are as important a part of narrative as is understanding the big picture, the end game, the WHY, the vision which drives the narrative. When leaders play ‘fast and loose” with the meanings of words and phrases they are either lazy and reckless, thoughtless and careless or intentionally manipulative. When communicators include big words they do not know the true meaning of just to impress, they are pedantic. Be a strong communicative leader who is secure in their core values and precisely consistent in the meaning and message of their narrative.” J Loren Norris

WHY AND HOW DO LEADERS LEAD THE NARRATIVE?
“My primary approach to leadership communication is a methodology called StoryPower. The stories we select to tell, craft to tell and rehearse both internally and externally will impact the quality and direction of our own lives as well as the lives of those we lead. A truly empowered leader who cares deeply for those they lead will also help them to reflect on the stories they tell themselves and others. Leaders must apply StoryPower to lead the narrative.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST PERCEIVE AND ENGAGE THE NARRATIVE IN AND OF THEIR COMMUNITY
“People talk. Duh! Right? We know they talk about us, about what we believe, how we think, how we talk, how we dress, how we eat or even what we eat. The narrative about any given community could be envious, derisive or outright disparaging. The real question is this: How will you as a leader in the community perceive then address the imposed narrative? Will you ignore it? Will you accept it? Will you buy in to the narrative and repeat it? Will you engage and actively counter disparaging narratives? Leadership requires an effective narrative. Your community needs you to compose, articulate and employ that narrative.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS BENEFIT AND BENEFIT FROM AN ENVIRONMENT STRONG IN FAITH, FAMILY AND FREEDOM
“Leadership works best in a conducive environment. Where there are limitations, falsehoods, interlopers, intruders and nefarious interference, genuine leadership is thwarted. When the pillars of a strong community are established, the power and value of leadership are magnified. Rebuilding these pillars is the work of valid leadership and will both benefit the community and the leader for future growth. Guard the pillars of faith, family and freedom at all costs.” J Loren Norris

FEAR: THE NARRATIVE - LEADERS KNOW WHAT I MEAN
“The stories you tell and repeat become the stories you believe. The stories you believe drive your behavior. If the stories you choose to tell remind you of fearful past experiences or create a fear of success in you, then your primary narrative is fear. If you listen to the stories of the wrong outside sources, you will be driven by a narrative of fear. Its time you choose the stories which inspire hope and success and repeat those stories. Not fictional, fantasy, made up stories but stories of your small successes which indicate your future potential. StoryPower is the art of selecting, crafting, and rehearsing stories which lead a narrative worth following.” J Loren Norris

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LEAD THE NARRATIVE?
“The narrative is the agenda, the agreed upon goal or destination, the utopia, the desired outcome. What feeds the narrative, leads the narrative. The collection of stories a leader curates, delivers, recalls will define who buys in to the narrative and eventually becomes a part of the community. If you lead an organization, a company, a family you must have a vision for the next phase as well as the big picture.
The narrative helps others to find the path, provides directions for getting there and empowers their synergy in the journey. The narrative clarifies the vision, articulates the check points and encourages the perseverance to carry on. Tell the stories which do all of these things, or someone else will hijack your vision, your team and your narrative. The stories they tell will be misleading, distracting and destructive.” J Loren Norris

ARE YOU LEADING FOR A CAUSE OR JUST BECAUSE?
“This is not a distinction without a difference. Leaders who are cause oriented and cause driven must be able to articulate their passion for, involvement in and connection to a cause in order to rally people to the cause. A leader who leads ‘just because’ is generally more interested career or job security than the actual cause they serve in the moment.
This is most evident when a qualified leader changes organizations on a regular basis with little to no consistency between issues they address and people they serve. Leaders in both scenarios must be able to express their expertise and qualifications well. So yes, in some cases you must be able to humbly speak of your knowledge, skills and abilities if you want to win the job or win people to the cause.” J Loren Norris

SCARY QUESTION: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROOMING AND LEADING?
“Influencers influence. The real question is with regard to intent, agenda, and end game. Discerning the narrative is imperative. Parents, teachers, managers, physicians must all be on the same page to insure the future outcomes are a mutually agreed upon future. Young minds, in theta state, are as suggestible as someone under hypnosis. Ideas planted in this condition bypass the barriers of moral judgement. Obviously this reality can be good or bad, fruitful or destructive, hurtful or beneficial only the outcome will reveal the impact prof the narrative and the intent of the influencer.” J Loren Norris

ACCOUNTABILITY IS A GOOD THING FOR LEADERS AND THOSE THEY LEAD
“In your home, too much power demand in one place carries the threat of a house fire. Once all the fuses, breakers, load warnings are bypassed or disabled, the devices designed to limit too much power will fail to serve you. The same is true in your own life of leadership. If you ignore the warning signs, reroute the controls which restrict abuse of power, and continue to distribute power unrestrained, a problem is looming. Once the fire of hubris is out of control, damage is certain and leadership accountability will become a matter of public punishment rather than a matter of personal integrity.” J Loren Norris

“All influencers use stories. They don’t all use them well. The number of people willing to manipulate, manufacture, conjure or straight up lie to achieve the desired result they seek is mind boggling to me. There is a massive difference between a great storyteller and someone who tells great stories. Great stories are selected with great trepidation, craft with delicate precision then delivered with cautious passion and unwavering integrity. Every day simple but truthful stories are used to gain favor, build influence and transform culture. If you lead like this, select, craft and deliver great stories. Don’t be about the business of telling lies well. StoryPower Masterclass will teach you the difference.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS REFUSE TO USE STEREOTYPES TO REPLACE GENUINE DIALOGUE
“Leaders are expected, even required to be astutely aware of the differences between people they encounter daily. Perceiving the learning styles, communication habits, personality traits of others should be second nature for a seasoned leader. The caution which accompanies this level of evaluation is critical. Never let your presumed insights or observations substitute for genuine curiosity. Dialogue, open ended questions and active listening are often more reliable than the most skilled assumptions.

LEADERS KNOW GENUINE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM FROM JEALOUS COMPARISONS OR COMPETITION
“It is easy to criticize, condemn and complaint. This is why almost every good leadership coach will tell you it is a practice to abandon. At the same time, it is the role of a good leader to provide feedback which will contribute to making those they lead better. Improvement in performance, productivity, attitude, relationships and accomplishments will almost always follow genuine constructive criticism.
When a leader or peer is immature, that criticism will not be constructive but rather petty, competitive, comparison. The feedback type does not drive toward improvement but rather is designed to destroy self confidence and effectiveness. Leaders should not participate in petty, competitive comparisons, they should offer genuine constructive criticism which drives improvement.” J Loren Norris

“One of the great thing about the USA is the fact that the people retain the option, the right and the responsibility to decide who governs them… until they don’t! The only thing which prevents a tyranny is the action of the people to retain and exercise the right to vote. It is the right to vote which defends and guards every other right from being trampled, subverted, ignored or removed.
We may disagree on many other issues and matters of state, local or even national politics, but the truth remains, when we fail to lead by voting we do the greatest disservice, we will one day lose the right to vote. I am not asking you to agree with me on any other political issue but this: Exercising the option, the right and the responsibility to decide who governs us by voting is our highest calling as leaders.” J Loren Norris

A leader must select their inner circle by commonality in their core values. Principle driven relationships have higher demands as well as expectations however they also produce stronger bonds.

HOLDING A VICTIM MINDSET AND BEING A STRONG LEADER ARE IMPOSSIBLE TENSIONS
“Your mindset is your weakness or your strength. Nothing in your life is as powerful in determining your future. The tension created in most peoples lives between their goals, dreams or visions and the mindest through which they view the world is dramatic and painful. In many cases hopelessness follows the victim mindset. The will to succeed is suppressed. Dependance is the only alternative. That is to the benefit only of the hustlers who sell the victim narrative and make bank on the backs of the broken. NO, it is not every wealthy person who has made their wealth by victimizing others, but is certainly a thriving industry and a political machine humming along at full speed.

There is an infinite ripple effect from historic events which cannot be discounted by those who would influence others. Polices, procedures, laws, rules are all predicated on precedents and those come from history. Take time to research, recount and recall history.

“The narrative is itself a tool of control, manipulation and misinformation. This can be powerful in creating an augmented reality. When used nefariously the narrative is a dark form of leadership.

“Leaders need to not only understand the life they live is often privileged by comparison to those they lead, but the way they articulate their lifestyle can be hurtful. Insult to injury looks and sounds like, ‘I have this tremendous opportunity to enjoy life because I have taken advantage of people like you.’ Here’s the rub. Many leaders did not start off with privilege, wealth, power, influence and affluence. Many leaders started at the bottom and worked hard to find and experience the benefits of success and significance. The challenge for leaders like this rests in the ability to remember where they came from and maintain the relatability to express genuine concern for those who are still there. Truthful, authentic stories of your own personal struggles and victories will connect better with those you lead than flaunting the successes you now enjoy.” J Loren Norris

Leaders who fail to acknowledge and take care to lead well, find themselves providing care for those who will not do what they are capable of because they are lead to be dependent rather than autonomous. Some leaders do this to maintain control, other do so out of a lack of awareness.” J Loren Norris

LEAD THE NARRATIVE BECAUSE THE NARRATIVE LEADS EVERYTHING AT EVERY LEVEL
“The story you tell you is as impactful as anything ever said to you. If you feel suppressed or oppressed, one of the biggest contributors to the ongoing narrative is YOU. Take time to ask, how many of the stories I tell myself are influencing the decisions I make, the risks I take and the relationships I engage in? The ask how many of the details of those stories are true? The stories which influence your choices which are based on things not true, need to be rewritten. It’s your life, your story. Its time you lead the narrative.” J Loren Norris

“The only thing more destructive than knowing what you’re not supposed to know is to know it and not do what you know.

LEADERS KNOW THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE OF SOME FOLLOWERS
“Telling lies will eventually catch up to you. Living lies will eventually destroy everything you have worked for. That might lead you to believe that living by and telling only the truth would be a better option. Well, truth is, telling and living the truth will cost you too. The biggest difference is the timing and the emotional physical toll. Truth will cost you more externally but bring with it internal peace, while deception seems to have an immediate reward but leaves you with stress, anxiety, depression and self loathing. Even if you get the job, the position, the title, the relationships you twisted truth to gain, you may find it hard to live with yourself.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE VISIONARIES WHO SEE THE END BEFORE IT BEGINS AND LEAD TO IT
“Leaders, especially visionaries cannot operate in a vacuum. The need to test and apply ideas others have not yet had is crucial to the success of new ideas. The birth of new ideas requires risk and brings reward. However, a vision is more than a dream, it is a dream followed up by massive action. A vision includes the momentum of emotions and the vivid picture of the future impact on others. To see and feel an idea, an innovation, an invention is what drives a leader and it should also motivate those they lead.” J Loren Norris

GROUNDED LEADERS LISTEN ONLY TO QUALIFIED CRITICS
”Yes, people have opinions. They also have socks and most of them stink. The number of those opinions which should alter the way you lead is zero, zippo, zilch, nada. This does not mean to isolate and insulate yourself from wise counsel. This does not mean you can avoid a good mentor or coach. This is not a license to become a narcissistic tyrant of a leader. Grounded leaders are surrounded by those who have scars from the same battle or a similar battle previously fought. These opinions are qualified to be your critic.

LEADERS REFLECT ON "IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME"
”If you can honestly say about any decision you have made at any point in your life ‘It seemed like a good idea at the time,’ you need to take time to review every major decision you have made. From hiring decisions, to marketing decisions, from relationships to education leaders tend to make decisions based on the evidence most readily available and most reliable at the moment the decision is made. A great leader also takes into account the past consequences of similar decisions, the future ramifications of unintended consequences and the implications of future discoveries. Take time to reflect before you execute on major decisions.” J Loren Norris

IF POLITICS IS DOWNSTREAM OF CULTURE - LEAD CULTURE
“You do not have to get involved in politics to make changes to the political climate which immediately impacts the daily quality of life you experience. Culture is the primary indication as to the future direction of political bent and political will. If the shenanigans of politics intimidate, frustrate and infuriate you, skip ahead of the process and focus on culture. Relationships, policies, positions within an organization are all cultural territory of the leader. Lead there first and the political environment will change as well.” J Loren Norris

“Leading is a tough job. Leading should be a selfless job with a priority focused on the betterment of the organization and the individuals we lead.

As we apply the idea of begin with the end in mind, we realize the power of directing and encouraging fruitful future personal relationships.

“When status quo is shifting faster than the direction of the wind it is hard to set sail and stay afloat. When leaders fear making decisions due to the threat of not fitting in with the norms of society it is hard to for leaders to direct the course of the future. Phobia is an illogical fear. Fear is a driving force of thought and emotion, an attitude if you will which paralyzes often crippling acting on common sense.

LEADERS ARE FOCUSED THEY ARE NOT OSTRICHES
“When a good leader focuses diligently on a solution, success is eminent. When a leader is hyper focused on a problem, the results are different. When a leader is focused selfishly on their own results, returns or rewards, they become blinded to the plight of others and unfruitful to the true cause of leadership. I do not recommend a leader be overwhelmed by distraction like a lion with a four legged stool. I do recommend they be aware enough to know their life, business and well being are often deeply impacted or forever altered by policies they could have stopped if they were aware enough to resist them.” J Loren Norris

Demographics, sociology, political view, religious beliefs and family history all play a role in the development and formation of every person we know.

“More flies with honey… Speak in the terms of the other persons interest… two ears one mouth… All of these idioms point in the same general direction. Listening is both powerful and essential as a tool for leading. Leaders tend to have ideas, notions, plans, strategies and tactics which need to be shared with the team.

If you feel like the best thing you can do for your team is to make sure they feel good about working for you, you are mislead. It is significantly more beneficial for a leader to be honest with the gritty ability to both admonish and admire in measured balance.” J Loren Norris

THE POWER OF LEADERSHIP RESIDES IN THE TRUE HUMANITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL
“Intelligence and cleverness are not markers of humanity on their own. However, treating a human with dignity deserved of a human should be reserved for humans. Also a leader who treats a human like a machine, robot or animal, must redefine their processes and systems to acknowledge the soul of their team members. This is not a moral judgement of lifestyles, it is a recognition of the emotional needs unique to humanity.” J Loren Norris

LEGACY MUST BE THE LEADERSHIP GOAL OF A GREAT DADS - BOTH IN MODELING AND JOURNALING
“The lessons we learn in life are not just for our learning. We are meant to pass them on and save the pain for future generations. We should be trusted to leave the map through the toughest times and to the promised land of success. First good dads model behavior worth emulating. Second they keep record of thoughts, successes, failures, mistakes and relationship journeys in the form of a journal. This is a simple yet effective way to leave a lasting legacy.” J Loren Norris

GOOD DADS LEAD WITH GOOD MORALS BY IMPARTING THEM AND DEMONSTRATING THEM
“The law of the picture: people do what people see is no more evident than in the role of Dad! Children who see a dad who is courteous, selfless, kind and filled with gratitude learn to emulate those values. A father who chooses to be absent, aloof, or oblivious is not fulfilling the role of DAD. Living the core values you wish for your children to benefit from demands awareness, attention and action. Be present. Be invested. Be intentional. That’s a good dad.” J Loren Norris.

NO GOOD DAD LEADS THEIR CHILDREN TO BE A LIAR - THEY DONT HAVE TO BECAUSE ITS NATURAL - THE REAL WORK IS TO TEACH THEM TO DECIDEDLY PURSUE TRUTH
”Children seem to have a natural knack for telling lies when they believe it will benefit them. Selfishness, emotional responses, and sometime outright meanness actually are natural in humans. Its human nature. A good dad knows this and leads their children in the direction of choosing to tell the truth even when there are consequences. The discipline and determination will bring about friction in your in parental relationships but the payoff will be worth all the struggles. Go the hard work of training them in truth Dad.” J Loren Norris

CHILDREN ARE ALL UNIQUE IN GIFTS, TALENTS AND CHARACTER - A GOOD DAD LEARNS TO LEAD THE INDIVIDUAL NOT THE COLLECTIVE
Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 6-13-22: “A dad who is a good leader will sacrifice time, energy and resources to become better adept at understanding his children. Knowing their individual personalities, quirks, gifts, talents and interests will go a long way in helping them to become successful at life. Two rules to apply: number one start early, number two give them definitive boundaries padded with love.” J Loren Norris

Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 6-10-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/dads-lead-their-children-through-trying-times-with-all-the-stability-they-can-muster
“In the context of time and maturity, the last thing a parent wants to see is their children following in the foolish decisions they made themselves. The only mistake a dad can make to worsen such a circumstance is to respond harshly enough to damage their relationship. The stability a dad leads his family with contains the strength to face bad decisions and the consequences they bring with grace, wisdom and a firm stand on dependable core values. Dads must stand their ground without standing in hypocritical judgement.” J Loren Norris

DADS LEAD THEIR CHILDREN TO VALUE LEARNING, KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM AS MUCH AS THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 6-9-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/dads-lead-their-children-to-value-learning-knowledge-and-wisdom-as-much-as-the-educational-process
’Why Dad? Is the lead in to many life fulfilling moments. It is also a sad reality that many dads check out right here and defer to a school system, YouTube video, classroom wise guy or even; ‘Don’t ask me. Go ask your mother.’ IMHO, Dads have a responsibility to provoke curiosity and inspire life long learning. Learn to ask questions which encourage research. Point them to subjects you can discover together. Source them in every way you can with new ideas and practical applications in daily life. This is a leadership role which is a must for dads! ” J Loren Norris

“Responsibility does not imply ownership. There are people in our life we are responsible to and those we are responsible for. As a leader, dad will one day learn stewardship as an obligation with limited rights and privileges which diminish over time. Being a good steward means easing expectations, expressing gratitude and sharing the vision with permission to participate rather than demand.” J Loren Norris

“Failure is not final and neither is success. Dad knows how and when to observe their children learning to walk and still encourage rather than judge. Dads who lead well never allow the sense of failure to become devastating overwhelm. Dads build up the steps to success through failure and persistence. Dads love not because of tremendous success but in spite of tremendous failure.” J Loren Norris

“If you’re a dad, you’re a leader like it or not. As a leader there are roles, duties, tasks and actions which no one can perform like you. To provide insights, education, wisdom and sustenance is part of your assignment. To provide protection from harm, injury, bad decisions and bad information are also your job. The pillars of society rest on your willingness and ability to complete these assignments.” J Loren Norris

“Dads carry a heavy burden of leadership and that is the demonstration of respect for others, especially those in authority. When the moral bearings of right and wrong are lost the core values are not passed from generation to generation, a lack of accountability, a lack of respect and selfish self destruction begin to creep in. Society eventually pays the price when dads drop the ball of demonstrating proper respect and discipline.” J Loren Norris

“I was raised as the only son of a single mom. The male role models in my life were a scarce resource limited both in availability and quality. I learned to be a more of a dad than a father through many years of research combined with trial and error. Dad is not an easy task. It should not be done alone. Yet it is one of the least supported roles of leadership around the world. In cultures where being a dad have been diminished, plethora of societal ills are on the rise. I double dog dare you to be a dad who leads well, not just a father or sire of children.” J Loren Norris

When you bathe your ideas in the thoughts and opinions of others you take a great risk. However, allowing others to apply friction to your ideas is like putting a gem stone in a tumbler. The rough edges are rubbed off and what comes out is a whole different quality of stone. That’s what a genuine mastermind accomplishes.” J Loren Norris

“Mutually assured destruction is sometimes the only deterrent to tyranny. However, a leader willing to metaphorically apply the death star approach should be cautioned about the natural reaction of the poison pill, sabotage and revolt. Some team members will feel betrayed by authority and will inflict as much damage as possible before moving on. Good leaders are aware of this tension and the team members most likely to act.” J Loren Norris

”Contributing to society in a meaningful way delivers a sense of purpose to every human alive. The need to be a part of something bigger, grander, more significant than ourselves is a natural part of our existence. IMHO The cultural shift away from meaningful work, hard work and self sufficiency has marred the fabric of our American ethos. The confused silence which marks the responses of too many college students where asked ‘In what ways do you contribute to society’ speaks volumes. Leaders should not only be busy contributing but also empowering those they influence to identify and activate their greatest opportunities to contribute as well.” J Loren Norris

“Blind spots, obstacles and blinders may have similar effect, but in the life of a leader they are significantly different. Blinders help us to focus by directing attention and minimizing distractions. Blind spots are generally issues a leader is unaware of and come in many forms I.e the emperor has no clothes. Obstacles on the other hand are generally obvious to everyone, including the leader, they just have not been dealt with for myriad reasons up to and including a desire to maintain the obstacles out of misplaced affection. Leaders must remove obstacles especially when there is an attachment which hinders the vision and peripheral vision of the organization.” J Loren Norris

”The immeasurable worth of deeply held and strongly rooted values is undeniable. Unfortunately such values and those who hold to them are becoming more rare every day. Leaders know their values are essential to leading with legacy. They also know their values are priced out of the market. They are worth more than any pay raise, vacation, career promotion, other social incentives or political pressure. In short, leaders who know their values cannot be bought.” J Loren Norris

“If your ego as a leader is too fragile to encourage the dreamers you lead, then its time to reevaluate your ego and self worth. If you are concerned about promoting a dreamer into their own dreams of entrepreneurship and not being able to replace them, consider this: your leadership thus far has empowered them to become who they are. You can repeat the process to cultivate another superstar and you must. The world needs all of the confident dreamers we can muster. If your leader is squelching your dreams, holding you back and not allowing you to imagine, to soar, to succeed, they have disqualified themselves from leading you.” J loren Norris

LEADERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VERACITY OF CURRENCY DO NOT STUDY FAKES
Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 5-9-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-responsible-for-the-veracity-of-currency-do-not-study-fakes
“Study the genuine article and not the litany of fakes if you want to get past the deception and get closer to the truth. Leaders who live and thrive on the glitz and glamor of the spotlight and not the transformation of their people, those are the counterfeit. Leaders who do the right thing when no one is looking and nothing is to be gained, those are the genuine article, study them, follow them.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LOVE LANGUAGE LIKE LIZARDS LOVE LAYING IN THE SUN
Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 5-6-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-love-language-like-lizards-love-laying-in-the-sun
“To be confused by language is nothing new. To misunderstand, misinterpret, misconstrue are all human reactions to complicated or emotionally charged conversations. Those who artfully misuse language are doing so with ill intent to confuse and manipulate. Leaders love language and the artful application of it to produce connection, clarity and consensus.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO THRIVE ON POWER ALONE ARE TYRANTS NOT LEADERS.
Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 5-5-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-who-thrive-on-power-alone-are-tyrants-not-leaders
“Sometimes the action you see is not what you should be cautious about. It’s not the struggle getting the most attention, the fight turning all the heads, the chaos stopping traffic which is reshaping society. Like a good ‘fight promoter’ the real game is happening in the back room between the power players and power brokers and they really don’t care who survives the scuffle… as long as they remain in power by provoking the scuffle. If you only deal in power, you are a tyrant and not a leader.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP DEMANDS AN AMPLE REPLY.
Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 5-4-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leadership-demands-an-ample-reply
“Most bullies are bullied themselves. Most people who are bullied live in fear, intimidation, frustration and often humiliation. Bullying behavior doesn’t stop in middle school or high school. The attitude of bullying is pervasive in big business, politics, world leaders and the modern versions of town square as carried out by mob rule. The antidote to bullying at every level is the same. Humility. Humility is generally discovered behind ample reply. Leadership demands that ample reply.” J Loren Norris

“Too many people waste time, talent, treasure and attention when they truly believe they are investing. If your investment turns on you and begins to decay in every area you thought it would return increase - it’s time to stop investing. If every $10 you spent with a specific organization gave $5 to someone preparing to do you harm how long would you keep giving them $10?” J Loren Norris

“Living what you say you believe versus living what you actually believe might appear to be a distinction without a difference. It is not. Most people live by deeply held beliefs which are not consistent with their spoken beliefs. They act in ways which defy their expressed values. Because their subconscious beliefs drive their actions, who they demonstrate they are is not who they say they are.” J Loren Norris

“If you find that people only want to hear your ideas when you scream them or force people to listen by ‘pulling rank’ as a leader, you need to reconsider both your ideas and your approach. Conversation should be a two way street of idea sharing and sharpening. One good test for good ideas would be to ask someone else to present them in your place. If the ideas are better accepted it’s not your ideas that are rejected it’s your communication style. Now you know what you need to fix.” J Loren Norris

SUCCESS AS A LEADER DEMANDS SACRIFICE ON MANY LEVELS.
Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 4-27-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/success-as-a-leader-demands-sacrifice-on-many-levels
“My mentor John Maxwell says often ‘You’ve got to give up to go up!’ There is no level of leadership which does not demand sacrifice on the part of the leader. If you want more income, you’ll have to sacrifice time. If you want new strategic relationships, you must sacrifice long term unfruitful relationships. If you want to leave a legacy worthy of your successors you may well sacrifice your own happiness. A great leader must know the limits and be strong enough to resist the temptation to sacrifice core values for wealth and fame.” J Loren Norris

“Work ethic, professionalism, customer service, individual responsibility are all core values the American society was built upon. Sadly, these are not the driving values of today’s work force. These values are not just about earning a living, building a strong culture and the fabric of society. They are also the foundations of a healthy family and the freedom needed to sustain it. We need diligent leaders who are determined to pass these values like a baton to the next generation.” J Loren Norris

Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 4-05-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-know-confusion-comes-before-chaos
“Confusion can cancel a good sale, destroy a relationship, end a career and destroy a culture. I know that seems like a bold statement, but confusion is a tool used by many who know that chaos follows confusion and then anarchy follows chaos which almost always results in a form of tyranny. Leaders should be aware and astute enough to recognize third party attempts to ask confusing questions and be ready to maintain the narrative of core values and foundational ideologies.” J Loren Norris

Watch the video or catch the episode Leading Leaders Podcast 3-29-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-know-dis-is-a-root
“Disrespect, dishonor, disregard, disruption all begin with DIS and all end in a lower value for life and property. As a fire fighter I was trained from day one that my purpose was to defend life and property. The willingness of some to destroy the fabric of society for the sake of their own convenience or nefarious goals is downright infuriating. I know this as a matter of reality: every action has a reaction. That goes for attitudes as well. If leaders do not draw the line and clearly monitor it, consequences will be drastic. Draw the line. Announce the consequences. Enforce the penalties. That’s one aspect of leadership many have shied away from.” J Loren Norris.

“If you desire to make radical, transformative change in a large group of people you must start with early adopters. Those are generally found among the youngest and most impressionable people because they are most open to new ideas, not yet set in their ways and willing to try almost anything when it feels right to them. The more seasoned among societies tend to trust their expertise and past experiences to validate what will work over their emotions or cultural pressures. Old dogs and new tricks?

“Leaders and team members alike are HUMANS. This means relationships can be complicated and complex. Some people are ‘with you’ for life. These people believe in you, your vision, your mission, and your way of doing business. Others want to gather from you all the insight and opportunity they can then move along. A leader who cannot determine the difference will not know who to launch, who to promote and who to hold on to.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS EMPLOY THE COURAGE TO DECIDE WHO JOINS THEIR TEAM Watch the video Leading Leaders Podcast 3-18-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-employ-the-courage-to-decide-who-joins-their-team “The word discrimination gets a bad wrap. I am willing to bet you discriminate pancakes over broccoli for breakfast, driving versus walking when visiting relatives in another state, buying rather renting your dinner. The ability, willingness and responsibility of leaders is the power of discrimination when it comes to who belongs on your team and who does not. Considering culture, cohesion and competence is only the beginning.” J Loren Norris LOOK FOR LEADING LEADERS ON LIFTABLE.TV ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

LEADERS KNOW THE VICTIM VICTIMIZER GAME IS ULTIMATELY A NO WINNER STALEMATE
Watch the video Leading Leaders Podcast 3-17-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-know-the-victim-victimizer-game-is-ultimately-a-no-winner-stalemate
“The number of people who suffer with victim mentality seems to be growing daily. The challenges of culture, society, politics, education and economics reveal the observable disparity and damage of inequality. The real issue rests in the sad truth that many people find victimhood both comfortable and profitable. Leaders need to help those they influence to identify their uniqueness and to maximize their potential. Equity of outcome may be a myth but equity of opportunity rests in living your fullness in your greatest gifts!” J Loren Norris

LEADERS WHO DON'T STAND THEIR GROUND WILL FIND THEMSELVES ON SINKING GROUND OR SHRINKING GROUND.
Watch the video Leading Leaders Podcast 3-15-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-who-dont-stand-their-ground-will-find-themselves-on-sinking-ground-or-shrinking-ground
“The stories we tell, tell the world all they need to know about us. We can only deflect the false narratives, bad ideas, misinformation and masked agendas when we are firmly grounded in our own values. Values and passion are not the same. One can be passionately wrong and yet determined to express their passion in a persuasive manner until they succeed at leading others astray. Good leaders stand their ground in the face of confusion and adversity rather than ceding the ground to fleeting and whimsical notions. ” J Loren Norris.

“If you’re human you have a dark side. If you’re a leader you have faults, short comings, room for improvement and blind spots. You must spend the emotional energy and focused time to identify and rectify those areas. If you do not address those issues, you will never shine as bright as you could from every facet of your personality. There will also be important people you will remain unable to connect with until you become aware and take action.” J Loren Norris

“Good vs bad or good vs evil is hard enough to discern on a regular daily basis. When we add the art of deception or agendas hidden behind questionable intentions, it takes well honed skills of people reading to mete out the truth of good or bad. Leaders must pursue the ability to interpret, clarify and strategize the mine field of disguised intentions.” J Loren Norris

”It is one thing to speak an inaccuracy for lack of knowledge, to be more accurate, to speak inaccuracies out of ignorance. It is an entirely different thing to speak non truth for the purpose of deceit and misdirection. The darkest form of misinformation is that which challenges long established, credible, provable fact simply because it does not comply with common causes and modern social expectations. Social and cultural expectations are as erratic and unpredictable as Texas weather. As such, they cannot be trusted for the establishment of core truth. If you lead, keep your eyes open and watch the reality surrounding you. Truth will reveal himself.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW TRUE TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES A REWRITE FROM THE BELIEF SYSTEM TO THE COMMON LANGUAGE. ACTION CAN BE MOCKED BUT ATTITUDE IS THE FINAL EXHIBIT.

“Employees who need a period of probation for correcting destructive behavior will often comply with expectations to save their job. The actions look right, the productivity is on par, the rhetoric sounds like they are on the mend. Unfortunately, this is often just for show. Good leaders know if the belief system changes, then the attitude and action both will change and will become evident in common conversations as well.” J Loren Norris LOOK FOR LEADING LEADERS ON LIFTABLE.TV ______________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

”When the feelings of the overly sensitive rule the direction of public conversation more than the opinions of the experienced, the values of the learned and the principles of the tested and true, our society truly hangs in the balance. Leaders should neither look for the opportunity to bully others through their opinion, neither should they silence their wisdom at threat of retaliation by way of whimsical and inconsistent feelings alone.” J Loren Norris

“There is not greater ground to guard than the trifecta territory of faith, family and freedom. Regardless your definition of them, when these areas are ceded, cultures shift, societies devolve and nations are crumbed. Leaders and storytellers are the linch pin of this space and must do the hard work of preservation through conversation.” J Loren Norris.

“Very few things frustrate the average ’Joe Q Citizen’ like a poorly constructed customer service process. However, from the playground to the political elites, the failure to ask why this is the process, to research the origin of the problem, review the real world impact of the policy as practiced and responding judicially to issues arising from the policy and procedure is the reason for such angst and distrust. If you are a leader who oversees people in the world of customer service, law enforcement, community service or interaction, you are responsible for doing your homework.” J Loren Norris

”Leaders with integrity maintain the truth in all of its nuances. Leaders who are willing to decieve, mislead, embellish to the point of lies. A leader willing don a mini skirt and call it blue jeans, to lie in order to gain or maintain control, to manipulate people through delusion and deception is a leader who should never be trusted. Listen closely to the podcast and ask yourself, ‘Do I embellish enough that the truth is tainted?’ Details are helpful, deception is not.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION DEMANDS RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
”It is altogether possible to speak your mind, share your heart, and clear the air with good intention and still hurt someone’s feelings or wound a friend. Why? Because it is impossible to know all the issues from the past which lead to triggers and emotional pain. A leader must be willing communicate in a way where they are consciously aware of the potential of misunderstandings and be willing to apologize or make an effort to repair the relationship after words are spoken without the intent to offend.” J Loren Norris

If you want transformation to be retained by your team, you need #StoryPower in your arsenal.

“There is no end to the benefits of genuine collaboration, vision driven effort, cohesive comraderie which comes from team work. However, a good leader will identify and cultivate a goal oriented maverick to serve as a scout for opportunity, risk and innovation. The great leaders don’t fear the one who operates outside the box. They don’t tame them, they train them. Even as a soloist, they serve the team vision well.” J Loren Norris

“Not every leader you encounter is a leader who is taking charge of their own life. Some are so wrapped up in the culture and societal norms that they cannot lead. They look for cues, decisions, directions by sticking a finger to the air and looking to see the direction of the wind at this very moment. They make no decisions on principle, core values, foundational ideas of right and wrong. They simply follow the crowd and do what is expedient, the most popular or the most profitable action at the time. Strong leaders are not ‘non-playable characters’ in their own life relegated to following the script of the programmers. Be a strong leader!” J Loren Norris

If you want to know what’s harder than that, try having and influential relationship with people you don’t like and as such they don’t like you either. Its not complicated.

WHY FAITH, FAMILY AND FREEDOM ARE IMPORTANT LEADERSHIP PILLARS
“What you believe, who you associate with and the right to make your own decisions are all foundational pillars of leadership. If leadership is influence, nothing more and nothing less, then telling others what to believe, who to spend time with and what decisions to make is not leadership but tyranny.

“A strategy is required for leaders who do not want to live in the malaise of the drama so common in life. Circumstances are not always what we wish they were. We cannot control every situation, choose every relationship, direct every consequence… or can we?

”The idea of handing decision making power to someone whose greatest accomplishment thus far in life is the highest score on Minecraft seems downright laughable. Sadly, we are grooming a generation of young new leaders who have spent their time in virtual reality, making virtual decisions, coping with virtual consequences. Many simply are not prepared to deal with the permanence and pain of real consequences in a real world. There is no reset, refresh or restart button in this game we call life. Worse, I have my own suspicions some of those handing leadership power to those yet unprepared are doing so intentionally and with full understanding of the potential ramifications because the outcome of such decisions, is part of their agenda. Despicable.” J Loren Norris

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GENUINE, COMPASSIONATE LEADERSHIP - AKA TOUGH LOVE
“Taking from one group of people to give to another group of people is called redistribution of wealth. Giving to people who are in need of assistance in a time of crisis is called compassion. Using the redistributed wealth of others to incentivize unproductive and societally destructive behavior is maleficent manipulation at best and outright corruption at worst. If you are a genuine compassionate leader, give of your own wealth, to people in need or in crisis, who show both ambition to succeed and willingness to do the work needed to succeed. That’s called tough love.” J Loren Norris WATCH THE VIDEO #leadingleaderspodcast 1-19-22: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/there-is-no-substitute-for-genuine-compassionate-leadership

“At various levels of success in leadership, adversity is inevitable. There is no level of achievement which absolves one of trouble or challenges.

CHANGE REQUIRES THREE AREAS OF FOCUS BY THE LEADER - VISION COURAGE AND ACTION
”Vision, courage and action are three pillars of change every leader must have. Missing any one of these elements will mean change, true change, lasting change will be delayed or nonexistent. Without a vision for what better looks like, there is no motivation and no direction. Without courage, the vision is little more than art, a pretty picture to observe from time to time and fantasize about experiencing. With vision and courage together you have a potent opportunity but it Weill remain only potential until you take action, massive action, consistent action, determined action.” J Loren Norris

“People who wrestle for power and control know that a divided enemy is much easier to overcome. The tactic of inspiring and creating divisions is not hard work but it is crucial work for conquering. Anytime a leader sees disagreement among team members they should be asking the questions: ‘Is this division caused by irreconcilable differences, misunderstandings or core values? Is this conflict a result of personality alone? Can common ground be achieved? WILL RESOLUTION MAKE THE TEAM BETTER OR BITTER?’ Then decide if they should find a new circle or fight to keep the one they have.” J Loren Norris

PERSONAL GROWTH OF YOUR TEAM DEMANDS PERSONAL GROWTH OF THE LEADER FIRST - STEP UP
“Any good leader will acknowledge, its hard to lead people where you are not willing to go. Its hard to inspire, motivate, coerce people to do what you are not willing to do. One of the hardest things a leader must do is PERSONAL GROWTH. Its hard to raise your level of awareness to your own faults, the ways you fail the team, the miscommunications and the unrealistic expectations or demands. However, if personal growth is important to your team (HINT: IT IS) then it must be important to you. Its time for you to step up and do the hard work of fixing you first.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW POWER TEMPORARILY SURRENDERED IS POWER PERMANENTLY LOST “The ideas surrounding transfer of power usually sound like revolt, revolution or conflict. That is not necessarily the case. Leaders know power is often transferred through complacency, apathy and ignorance. No matter the method, once power is transferred, control is lost and the reigns of decision making are surrendered autonomy almost never returns without struggle. If you wish to maintain the liberty of individuality and influence you may have to raise your voice and put your foot down at some point.” J Loren Norris

“Whoever controls the framing of the image, the issue or the argument controls the perspective. Right, wrong or otherwise, proper framing can convince the observer of a truth which is not true. A sound bite, edited video clip, manipulated focus or zoom can all be tools for controlling the narrative or meaning of an incident. Leaders are aware of all the context, all the circumstances and the big picture. Leaders know context matters.” J Loren Norris

THIS NEXT YEAR WILL SEE A RISE IN LEADERSHIP SKIRMISHES.THE BATTLES WILL RADIATE AROUND IDEAS, EXPRESSED IN WORDS, MEMES AND TWEETS. ARE YOU READY TO STAND YOUR GROUND?
“Trust me when I say the battle for leadership is well under way. The conflict of conversation, the manipulation of meaning, the rattling of rhetoric has been escalating at a fevered pitch. I believe the only thing evolving faster than the impact technology has on daily life is the vicious vitriol of vocal attacks. The ground is being prepared with verbal land mines to lay bare the ideological positions like a flare fired into a cloudless sky at night. Every leader must be trained and skilled in communication at the level a Ninja might train for combat.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE PLETHORA OF CHOICES DOES NOT IMPLY CHOICE IS YOURS. ASK YOURSELF, WHO DETERMINED THE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM? “Have you heard the modified golden rule? ‘He who has the gold makes the rules.’ Well, when it comes to choices, those who control the options available really control the choices you make. If you can really only choose from the options presented, do you really have freedom of choice? If you’re the leader, remember to offer legitimate options and clear choices. Also be willing to be flexible with the choices amongst the options offered.” J Loren Norris

AWARENESS IS CRUCIAL FOR LEADERS HOWEVER MYOPATHY AND FOCUS ARE SEPARATED BY A VERY THIN LINE
“Leaders must be willing to do the hard work of self leadership, self awareness and personal introspection. Leaders must also understand the line between focus and myopathy. It’s entirely too easy to become so wrapped up in personal issues and lose sight of the bigger picture and its global impact. Its great to focus on self improvement and self empowerment just don’t lose the perspective of larger reality and the role you play in it.” J Loren Norris

VISION IS THE TOOL LEADERS USE TO BUILD HOPE WHICH MOTIVATES SUCCESS IN THE DEEPEST STRUGGLE AND LONGEST ARID SEASONS
“Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. Even when life is good, we want more. But until we can see the image in our mind's eye and touch it with our heart, it will be nothing more than longing." ~ J Loren Norris ~

LEADERS APPLY GRACE TO THE MOST DIFFICULT SITUATIONS WITHOUT COMPROMISING CORE VALUES
“Especially around the holidays, family gatherings can become the crucible of relationships. People who are passionate about what they observe, believe and cling to will often become loud and abusive as they encounter people they disagree with, even if they are people they love dearly. It is the call of the leader to engage in these critical conversations and to do so with great grace patience. It is also very important to do so without abandoning core values.” J Loren Norris

“It’s hard enough to win the game when your opponent knows the rules better than you. Its impossible when they alone have the ability to change the rules or make up new ones along the way.
When the game is rigged for a particular side to always win, we all feel the indignation and emotion of injustice. When we realize the game was rigged, the system was rigged from the inception we all realize we have been played. What’s worse is when so called leaders use the persuasion techniques of the best sales people to manipulate the game in their favor. Leaders who cheat the system should not be leading. Replace them!” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE POWER OF DECISION MAKING TOOLS AND HOW TO USE THEM WITH DISCRETION NOT DISCRIMINATION.
“People are fickle, silly and unrealistic - especially when it comes to their data/ private information. They post comments, photos, philosophies galore on social media and yet expect no one to notice what they set out in public. Leaders need data to make good decisions like who to hire, who to contract business with, what products and services they should offer or delete and to whom should they sell those products. Data mining is neither new nor unethical. It is a tool for good decision making. Consider a doctor making a recommendation without an exam first. Bad idea right.” J Loren Norris

SILENCE AND COMPLIANCE ARE NOT TRAITS OF GREAT LEADERSHIP - THATS NOT PROPER SUBMISSION TO AUTHORITY.
“Great leaders are free thinkers. Often free thinking causes them to live in a bubble. When your ideas, thoughts, choices are not in the realm of normal or controllable you will be challenged to remain silent, to calm down, to fit in. DON’T DO IT! If you have thoughts and opinions which are different than the majority, you have something special to offer to society. Don’t keep your treasures to yourself and rob society of their benefit. Do it with class, dignity and poise, but speak up!” J Loren Norris

IF LEADERS DON'T KNOW THE RULES OF THE GAME - DO THEY STAND A CHANCE AT WINNING?
“It is challenging enough to be in constant competition for attention, promotion, opportunity and success. However, winning any competition is even more complicated when the rules are ambiguous and consistently changing. Leaders who do not stay up to date on rules changes, or how to apply them judiciously for success will find themselves a step behind and predominately on the losing side. Leaders who are closely involved in the crafting and keeping of the rules will hold a distinct advantage.

WEAK LEADERS ARE WEAK IN THREE SPECIFIC AREAS. WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?
“The best connections, the most open doors, the strongest reputation, and the greatest opportunity can all be cancelled by weaknesses left unaddressed. A leader who is not actively aware of weakness will not bother to address weakness. Three specific areas of weakness will cripple everything you have worked for in short order. These three areas of weakness are isolated to the individual and while they may be impacted by others, they can only be addressed and corrected by you. Yes, you have to watch the video to discover what they are.” J Loren Norris

When a distraction offers itself without disclosing any agenda, we should assume a diabolical intent. Nothing in this life happens without intent.

LEADERSHIP AND AUTHORITY AND FOLLOWING ORDERS ARE THEY ALL THE SAME?
“Leaders are leaders because they know the power of authority and the value of submission to authority. But not everyone who is promoted to management is a leader who should be trusted with authority. Power hungry people tend to wrestle their way to the top, then abuse the authority they are given.

LEADERS SHOULD UNDERSTAND AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE THINGS THEY SAY AS WELL AS THE RESIDUAL EFFECT THEIR WORDS MAY CAUSE.
“Too many influencers feel confident they can say or do whatever they wish and face no consequences. These are not good leaders, but they are leaders nonetheless. Good leaders need to be aware of this tendency and be willing to speak up about it. The damage done can be catastrophic and permanent. People have committed suicide because an influencer trashed them, demeaned them and maligned them in front of others. Careers have been ended, relationships damaged, futures all but destroyed over careless words and deeds. Influencers who hurt others for their own gain, promotion, politics or profit will have a huge price to pay. If you don’t believe in the court systems and criminal/civil justice, do you believe in KARMA? I hear she’s not very nice.” J Loren Norris Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 12-06-21: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-should-understand-and-be-held-accountable-for-the-things-they-say-as-well

GRATITUDE IS A KEY ELEMENT OF LEADERSHIP SUCCESS BECAUSE OF THE LAW OF THE PICTURE.
”The one thing which is a greater cause for employees to depart from a company or organization faster than a paycheck too small is lack of appreciation. If leaders cannot learn to say and demonstrate their gratitude for their team they will not have a team to lead for very long. The law of the picture says team members who are shown appreciation will also show appreciation to the rest of the team and to customers as well. Try GRATITUDE as a Christmas bonus for your team this year.” J Loren Norris

THINKING IS THE ABYSS OF FAILED LEADERSHIP. COMMIT TIME TO THINK. THINK IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. THINK ALONE AND THINK WITH TRUSTED PEOPLE.
“What were you thinking? Or sometimes we should ask ‘Were you thinking?’ Leaders often find themselves in an infinite feedback loop where the ideas, actions and attitudes of the past are the driving factors for tomorrow. The only way to break this cycle is fresh, new thinking. Thinking which challenges the status quo is crucial. Thinking which invites input but resists opinionated criticism is key. Thinking which inspires dreams, motivates team members and mitigates risk is the job of leaders.” J Loren Norris

JOHN MAXWELL CALLS IT THE LAW OF THE PICTURE. HOW DOES IT APPLY TO YOUR LEADERSHIP?
“The many faces of leadership don’t all look the same. Influence can be tricky, lopsided, uncontrollable and unpredictable. Outside influence can derail the best organizations, disrupt the most solid family, destroy the strongest nations. From the silly old man making faces at a toddler causing misbehavior in the restaurant, to industrial espionage or even sabotage to international election interference, outside influences can be devastating… and contagious. Because people do what people see, even destructive and dystopian actions will often be imitated and repeated. Watch every word you say and every action you take, because someone else is watching too.” J Loren Norris

COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY TO YOUR LEADERSHIP - GATHER AND DISPERSE INFORMATION WITH DUE DILIGENCE “Communication is a prime directive of great leadership. Communication in itself is not the power, what’s communicated is. Whether informing with truth worthy of making major decisions or misleading and manipulating people, both are forms of communication. The real power rests in a leader who stays and conveys truthfully informed data on a regular, open and honest basis. Don’t use your platform to drive an agenda. Communicate truth so people can take wise and informed action. That is leadership influence.” J Loren Norris.

“Leadership demands clarity and consistency otherwise those following live in confusion. Regardless the size of the group you lead, if you cannot or will not express clearly and then live by your own convictions, you cannot expect anyone else to.

“It is near impossible, but without a doubt impractical to personally LEAD a large group of people. Great leaders lead strong in small groups of influencers who expand that influence in the same manner.

LEADERS KNOW JUSTICE HAS A SPECIFIC MEANING AND LEADERS SACRIFICE THEIR COMFORT FOR COMPASSION “One of the biggest challenges for leaders who are human is to live with a strict rule for justice. Why?? Because humans build relationships, create bonds, share likenesses and affinities with specific people. This makes leading with equal treatment a matter of significant discipline, awareness and integrity. Justice also demands compassion when circumstances would give rise to an exception to treatment different from historically applied.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP IS NO PLACE FOR “BONELESS WONDERS” - IT DEMANDS A BACKBONE IN TIMES OF TRIAL - ESPECIALLY WHEN RIGHT DECISIONS ARE UNPOPULAR
“Leaders who change direction with the whims of social pressure reminds me of a plastic bag on the wind - random, unpredictable and uncommitted. Leadership requires grit, backbone and determination especially when the right decision is unpopular. If you don’t have the guts to stand against the tide of foolishness driven by popular opinions of the day.” J Loren Norris Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 11-4-21: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leadership-is-no-place-for-boneless-wonders-it-demands-a-backbone

LEADERS DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, THEN DIG DEEPER.
CHANCES ARE THE TRUTH IS JUST BELOW THE SURFACE AND DECEPTION COVERS IT LIKE BUTTER CREAM ICING ON A BALOON CAKE
“If you believe the headlines, the sound bites, the Twitter news feed or TikTok as a solid source of information all on its own, YOU ARE NOT FIT TO LEAD! Do some more research. Read the entire article and then read all the citations (if there are any). Many times you will find the headline was misleading at best, deceptive and corrupt at worst. If you are a person of influence you are responsible to be better informed.” J Loren Norris

WHAT IF LEADERS LEAD WITH THE GOLDEN RULE? LEAD ME THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE LEAD.
“No one wants to be lead by manipulation, coercion, or corruption. No one wants to be lead in a way that violates their conscience, offends their sensibilities or contradicts their core values. No one wants to be lead to mimic someone else’s greatest accomplishments at the expense of their own identity or success. If you lead, keep this in mind and lead others the way you wish to be lead.” J Loren Norris

SHUT UP. SILENCE. STOP TALKING. WOKE WORDS MEAN NOTHING IF YOU DO NOTHING - THAT’S NOT LEADERSHIP IT’S FRAUD!
“Many would be leaders, even those with great influence already, feel the need to speak to the world in words of racism, climate, sustainability, future globalist participation in terms of compliance. These leaders often speak the ‘proper’ words but abandon their course in actions and deeds. If you are not sincere about your commitment to transformation, SHUT UP! If you are sincere about your commitment to transformation, then speak with integrity and reveal your true colors with transparency so others can determine your actual worth as a leader not a propagandist.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST LEAD WITH VISION, ACTION & MOTIVATION TO GET STUFF DONE.
“A leader without a vision is like a bicycle with out a pedal, it might move randomly or coast downhill but taking action will be extremely challenging and gaining momentum to tackle the hills will be near impossible. Motivating a team with that sort of restriction is also near impossible. A good leader knows what moves each member, knows what actions they need to take and what success looks like individually and collectively.” J Loren Norris

LEADER SHARE INVALUABLE INSIGHTS LIKE MOST PEOPLE BREATHE - REGULARLY AND EVERYWHERE.
“If you have spent the majority of your adult life studying one field of interest, chances are you have forgotten more than most people will ever know about that topic. Leadership is one of those fields. Deep, dynamic, human relationship interest, basic psychology, organizational application of values and processes are the fodder of leadership studies. These are elements easy to spot when they are missing and a natural response is to encourage others by pointing to a blind spot. If someone drops a nugget of observation on you, remember they have likely studied and practiced it for years and their intent is to save you some headaches.” J Loren Norris

“The darkness we operate in may be the lack of awareness, by choosing to ignore and remain blind OR it may be the environment where too many things are done in secret and intentionally hidden.

“It is sad but true that even the most diligent observer of facts, data and science can be misled by those with ill intent.

LEADERS KNOW TRUTH WILL ONLY PREVAIL WHEN IT IS PERSISTENT, CONSISTENT AND NOT SUPPRESSED.
“The first to speak is often believed, even when everything they declare is UNTRUE. Sadly, even when it is later PROVEN UNTRUE, the first declaration has the power of hangers on who want the declaration to be true. Truth itself has the trifecta expectation, it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Truth also has the magnitude of gravity, gravitas, that something internally which says your can defy truth all you wish, but one day it will reveal itself and expose your foolishness.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW THE TIDE OF TRUTH EBBS AND FLOWS WITH THE TIMES BUT SAND CASTLE THEORIES CANT STAND.
“There is much to be said about the ebb and flow of influence, culture, politics, societal shifts and even the core ideas we teach to the next generation. There is also much to be said about flimsy theories which WILL NOT STAND the test of time. I call them sand castle theories. They may look good for the moment, but the persistence of the waves of truth will wash them away. As soon as the landscape is cleared of the rabble, the new sunrise brings new beach goers and a new generation of young hopefuls to rebuild the castles of sand.

LEADERS KNOW THAT YOUNG MINDS ARE EASIEST TO SHAPE AND THEY TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.
“It seems like an affront or even an accusation because it is. When leaders, teachers, influencers have a counter agenda to that of parents, there will always be a conflict. Who has the right to decide what young people learn? Who has the authority to impart values, ideals, principles, foundational beliefs in the minds of youth? Don’t allow the answer to be determined by apathy and abstinence. Speak up. Lead well. Own your values and pass them on. Those with opposing ideas are not stupid, ignorant or morons. They simply have a different vision for the future and are determined to share that vision until it comes to pass.” J Loren Norris

“The right and opportunity for all Americans to be heard, to express their opinions, to question their leaders MUST BE PROTECTED. That right can certainly be abused by those who would use it to drive an agenda, promote propaganda, or even just express their frustration in a less than helpful way.

LEADERS KNOW THIS: YOUR DESTINY WAITS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF COURAGE
“There was a time when I might have considered myself fearless. Taking on any challenge, dare or obstacle as if I had nothing to lose. Jumping off the roof of the house onto hard ground, racing a motorcycle down the highway without a helmet, replying with sarcasm to someone I should not. Today, I am much more cautious. Some of that caution is directly related to maturity, some is related to a risk reward assessment. Leaders know when to dive into the risk because if they don’t, the reward opportunity evaporates. Leaders know, your very destiny is waiting for you to have the courage to pursue it. Take courage. Take your destiny.” J Loren Norris

It’s another thing altogether to take a firm stand for your decisions when you know there will be fall out because a tough decision you made is so unpopular, even if it’s the right decision. Owning your experience is more than quoting platitudes. Ownership leads to solid decisions which most people have opinions on, but they are not qualified to make themselves.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS KNOW A ROPE A DOPE FROM A RUN OF THE MILL DISTRACTION.
“If you’re a leader and you cannot discern a distraction that is nothing more than an unplanned challenge and a rope a dope - a planned and intentional distraction designed to redirect attention from where it’s needed - you’re already in trouble. If you are a leader unwilling to acknowledge there are people with maleficent intent who vie for you attention only to destroy you, you are simply naive.” J Loren Norris.

LEADERSHIP IS A TOUGH POSITION. IT IS A CALLING, AN OPPORTUNITY, A CHALLENGE SOMETIMES A BURDEN ALWAYS A GIFT.

LEADERS LIKE A GOOD ATHLETE LEARN TO BOB AND WEAVE AS A MEANS OF SURVIVAL.
“A leader who is constantly having to survive the blows of life is a leader who has not identified the blind spots and weakness which give opportunity to the opponent to strike. Good leaders learn to bob and weave to avoid the blows, but the also look for team members who have strength and skills to cover their blindside and guard their weaknesses.” J Loren Norris

“Those who are determined to reshape world cultures, governments and societies do so by starting early in the life of those they wish to reshape. From K-12 to post graduate work, the student learns what is taught - and normally nothing more - the teachers’ philosophy, world view, value systems and personal preference or pet peeves become the primary shape of the young people of today.

INFLUENCE IS A COMMODITY. IT IS THE GREATEST TOOL FOR POWER, CONTROL, INCOME PRODUCTION, MANIPULATION, TO HELP HEAL AND OFFER AID OR TO DESTROY.
“No product or service has garnered as much profit as the commodity of influence. Leaders beware! When your influence grows, so will the potential for corruption. The more people notice the power you possess to sway the decisions of others, the more likely they will pursue you to do their bidding. Yes, much money can be made as an influencer. The question a leading influencer must ask is, at what cost?” J Loren Norris

“If you lead, you are responsible for teaching. If you teach, you cannot help but lead because you influence people, and that is leadership.

LEADERS READ THE LANDSCAPE OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS BEFORE THEY LIGHT A FIRE.
‘Leaders who are not aware of the mix of people, talents, gifts, and personality quirks run the risk of destroying everything they have built. Certainly, diversity is important and opportunities should be equally available to all. However, the wrong person, in the wrong seat on the bus, is a tinder box for a raging fire. Its about more than education, history, and EOE standards. Its about the personalities involved and how they are best positioned for peace and productivity.” J Loren Norris

WHAT ATTITUDE IS PREVAILING IN OUR NATIONS TODAY? NOT JUST THE USA, BUT OTHER NATIONS AS WELL. AND WHAT MUST LEADERS DO ABOUT IT?
”The favorite tool of tyrants is fear. Fear creates unpredictability, insecurity, confusion and eventually submission. When people live in fear, they are easier to control, especially if you can convince them you have the only solution to defeat what they fear. This tactic has been used in families, religion and politics since the dawn of time. The real win exists when leaders employ stories of hope and victory as evidence of another solution.” J Loren Norris

IF YOU WANT THE SAFTEY OF NEVER BEING ATTACKED TAKE OUT THE BIGGEST, MEANEST, MOST THREATENING OPPONENT FIRST. THAT’S A LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLE AS WELL AS A POLITICAL ONE...
“A bully comes in many shapes and sizes. A bully will take your things, your rights, your freedoms, you will power, your joy and your pomace. A bully will often ‘gaslight you’ into believing you are the cause of the bullying, you deserve it, you made them do it. The only hope you have is that a bigger, meaner someone with goodness in them step in to defend you.

“It’s more than just a win of the contest, the competition, the moment. Its a WIN for the discipline, the dedication, the devotion, the hard work, the sacrifice required to earn the win.

“We all love to see the triumph of those who refuse to quit. The moment the ‘Golden Buzzer’ sounds for the singer who was scoffed at from the beginning brings a tear of laughter and victory for almost all who are watching. Sometimes a WIN for one person is not a WIN for someone else. As a leader, you must determine what a ‘golden buzzer’ would be for you. Is it simply getting on the stage by getting the job of your dreams? Is it finishing the book you’ve been writing for years, or is it only when that book is a best seller? You must decide, then intentionally focus your time and effort to get that buzzer!” J Loren Norris

“There is much more value in the diversity of thought than diversity of looks alone. Certainly, we need to see diverse expressions of culture, race, nationality and religious beliefs.

“Leaders are involved in many significant conversations which can become vitriolic arguments. Great leaders avoid being sucked into the emotion of the argument and consistently seek to discuss the facts, the details and specifically the cause of the argument.

WORLDVIEW DRIVES A LEADERS IDEAS, OPINIONS, ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR.
“In sales we called it ‘selling from your own pocket’ but the issue in leadership would be ‘leading from your own worldview’. This is a double edged sword of problems and potential. If you, as a leader, possess a strong, diverse, well informed, core values based, tested and true worldview, then you bring much hope to those you influence. If you possess a tainted, victimhood, poor poor pitiful me worldview you will bring drama and baggage to those who depend on you.

STORYPOWER IS THE LEVER BIG ENOUGH TO MOVE THE WORLD OF ATTITUDE.
“We have heard stories all of our lives which inform the way we think and feel about ourselves and others. ‘Big girls don’t cry.’ ‘Real men don’t cry.’ ‘Look how you made me feel.’ All of these comments and sentiments likely harken back to a moment in your life. The incident, the relationship, the emotional drama which surrounded the very moment are as fresh as if it happened yesterday. Leaders must be aware not only of their own stories, but of the stories of anyone on their team which influence the attitude of daily behavior.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS ARE AWARE OF THE DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF JEALOUSY IN AN ORGANIZATION.
“There are team mates who have an agenda other than the success of the team. These people often has strong skills, great talent, admirable results and an ego larger than life. These peoples also have one potential devastating reaction to their jealousy of playing a supporting role to your success: they would rather sink the ship than serve in any role other than ‘Captain’.” J Loren Norris

WHATS IMPORTANT IN PHOTOGRAPHY IS ALSO IMPORTANT IN LEADERSHIP.
“Focus, proper light on the subject, good perspective are issues of practice and action equally important to photographers and leaders.

LEADERS SHOULD CONSIDER THE COMMONALITIES WHICH DRAW THEM TOGETHER.
“Every leader who influences others must understand the limit to their influence. Sometimes its based on character flaws of the leader. Sometimes its the limited knowledge of the leader. Sometimes its the existing influences of longer held and valued relationships. What causes those you lead to gather together? Is it just work? Is it family? Is it another common interest? Don’t speak out of turn just because you are the ‘leader’ of certain circles, it could end your right to influence.” J Loren Norris

FACT VS OPINION IS A TOUGH DISTINCTION LEADERS MUST UNDERSTAND AND DILIGENTLY GUARD.
“The line has been blurred by nefarious means between fact and opinion. Many people who have studied the arts of conversation and persuasion have taken up the mantel of convincing those they influence to accept their opinions as facts. This is a dangerous form of control which has been employed for centuries of humans history and continues today. The difference today is the magnified effect through mass communication devices and technology. Note: we argue facts with evidence, we argue opinion with dissent.” J Loren Norris

LEADING AND LYING ARE NOT A GOOD MIX.
“Leaders should be prompt to admit their errors and wrong answers. Leaders should be committed to the truth.

LEADERS MUST BE PURVEYORS OF HOPE ESPECIALLY IN DARK DAYS.
“Whether a leader is the first voice to speak or the last voice of hope, it should be in the compassionate heart of the leader to listen up and speak up. Too many people are looking to self harm or even self destructive behavior because of stress, anxiety and self image who could have been helped if a leader (any person of influence in their life) had spoken a kind word.

“Being in charge is not equivalent to being right. Having the power, position and titles do not change the facts, the truth or history.

Leaders know the power and value of insider information. What’s your source?
“Leaders are very aware of the value of information. Business leaders, military leaders, government leaders, elected officials and even candidates for office all invest large sums of money for the most current information. They buy data bases, pay for data mining, hire people to parse consumer buying habits and more. Leaders also know how to listen for what someone is not really saying because that information is often the most valuable.
The FBI has even been known to create “secure apps” which are actually mining criminal data such as Annum and operation ‘Trojan Shield.’ What is your source of information? Who are you paying attention too?” J Loren Norris

LEADERS STRUGGLE TO HOLD THE GROUND ON THEIR IDEAS WHEN THEY CANNOT ARTICULATE THEM WELL.
“The greatest idea a leader can propose can be overwhelmed, defeated, dismissed by a narrative of the existing ‘status-quo’. Anytime the way things are has a better story than the change proposed, the reluctance to change remains. Any time the pain to change is more than the pain to stay the same - things will not change. If you want buy-in and participation in a new idea, start with a strong narrative of the benefits of what the better future will be.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST BE INTENTIONALLY AWARE TO REMAIN RELEVANT. RELEVANT IS THE CURRENCY OF THE INFORMATION AGE.
”Like being in the dark or being out of focus, is a leader who is not relevant to the crowd they are leading or addressing. Too often, leaders feel like what they desire to convey is important to everyone just because they said it. Not true. The digital age makes communication simple to access for billions of people. Many have a growing audience, known as influence, but they have little relevance in the lives of other.

The damage left in the wake of an immature and careless leader can be costly in terms of financial devastation as well as damaged relationships, career opportunities, brand reputation, and legacy.

“Fear is a factor in leadership. Some use it to control others, but some leaders are stopped in their tracks by fear they try to ignore. Decisions like hiring, firing, buying, selling, merging and more are crippled by fear of the unknown. It’s time to challenge the fear by challenging the framework of the fear.

“Leaders who seek only authority and power and yet ignore responsibility could be called corrupt leaders. Leaders who use power and authority to benefit themselves and those they favor, and also treat others with disregard, also corrupt leaders. Supervisor, boss, company owner, shift manager, elected official, if you are a leader with one of these titles and you choose to execute your authority to the detriment of others, you need to take time to ask yourself, ‘Am I corrupt?’” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST KNOW, UNDERSTAND AND EXHIBIT GRACE TO GROW IN LEADERSHIP AUTHORITY.
“A lack of grace is a devastating quality for leadership development. Leaders who know the meaning of grace, understand the need for grace and exhibit grace with team mates and strangers generously will find their level of influence and authority growing consistently. Leaders without grace, or who operate disgracefully won’t lead for long.” J Loren Norris

SOMETIMES THE GREATEST TOOL FOR LEADERSHIP INFLUENCE IS SIMPLY LISTENING. I CAN TELL YOU WHY.
“We all have those conversations where we feel like it was a competitive event rather than just a conversation. Its so common in some circles, it seems like the way things are meant to be and leaders fall into the habit as well. If you want to increase your leadership influence, practice simply listening. Not just because you can learn more, but because often people will learn more from their own thinking out loud than from all the wisdom you might speak to them.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS LEAVE A LEGACY. IS YOURS BY DESIGN?
“Especially when it comes to legacy, there is a fine line but broad distinction between intention and awareness. It is possible to be an intentionally good person who is compassionate, considerate and consistent yet be unaware of the impact this life will have on those you leave behind. It is also possible to be intentional about leaving a legacy through investments, inheritances and a larger than life reputation while being unaware of the people who are hurt along the way. Are you both aware and intentional?” J Loren Norris

“Guilt by association takes on a whole new meaning when you find yourself caught up in an activity you would have NEVER participated in if you knew in advance. In fact, if you knew what ‘they’ were up to, you would have actively resisted their efforts. As you consider this episode of Leading Leaders Podcast ask yourself: ‘Have I ever been sucked into something I would have never done?’” J Loren Norris

5 LEADERS WAY TO FIGHT THE SYSTEM. I BELIEVE YOU WONT BELIEVE HOW EFFECTIVE THIS STRATEGY CAN BE
“The motivation which comes from a competition can lead to great things. The instigation which comes from jealousy, greed and contention can lead to senseless wars. Marketers know you must inspire a want in people in order to sell your products that’s what good advertising is for. But the idea of creating strife in one community versus another based on who possesses more, accomplishes more, achieves more is an insidious manipulation of human nature. Gratitude is the weapons #5, the secret weapon to fight back against this propagandist practice.” J Loren Norris

“The most complicated thing to manage is the most simple way to make profound change.

“Its easier to wait for a leader to arrive who will take the risks and share the rewards before you charge into a new venture, idea or battle.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOUR FORK AND YOUR ATTITUDE WERE DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO EACHOTHER AND YOUR HEALTH??
”Anything from food addiction to a driving need to control others has the power to compromise or even destroy your ability and opportunity to lead others well. If it controls you, it will hinder your leadership. Becoming aware of how food affects your mood and how your mood affects your food is a critical level of personal leadership growth which many leaders (myself included) have ignored or minimized for a long time.
Diet is not just about health for a longer life, better physiology, or better physique. Food quality, food amount, and food cravings have a direct connection to mental health, brain speed, memory function and learning. All of these are a direct impact on the quality and ability to lead others well.” J Loren Norris

“It’s hard enough to maintain harmony in a work environment or organization under normal circumstances. Add the challenges brought on by a global pandemic, international political unrest, globalized businesses and the pressure of political elites who have strong influence and stronger opinions and you have a recipe for hostility.

LEADERS MUST TAKE THE INITIATIVE WHEN ACTION IS REQUIRED BUT NONE EXISTS.
”Sometimes, all the work you do to maintain your own space is never ending and near pointless because your environment is out of control. When leaders take action, that action often bleeds over into the surrounding mindsets, attitudes and expectations. We call it intentional influence. If the neighbors ‘weeds’ are invading your space, do them and yourself a favor and fertilize their ‘weeds’ to death.” J Loren Norris

HOW DO LEADERS RESPOND WHEN A NEW IDEA IS A BAD IDEA??
“We have all experienced that momentary flash of genius. An idea comes to mind and we think ‘WOW! I could be a millionaire off of that singular idea!’ So of course we share it with a friend who shows us the same idea is already for sale and bursts our bubble.
The number of leaders who promote a new idea, innovation, invention, process, procedure, or policy who will never be expected to live under the conditions created by their idea is mind numbing. Often the results will not be measurable or obvious for decades, but the fame associated with the new idea is a really all certain people are concerned with. Don’t be that leader.” J Loren Norris

If you are uncomfortable telling your story, get a coach because the chances are you’re doing it wrong.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS - CHOOSE YOUR BATTLE FRONT!
“The battles leaders face on a daily basis are so multi faceted and multi directional the first real battle is choosing which issue to fight. Sure, not every challenge of leading is meant to be a fight, but they still demand time, attention, resources and effort. To win the day, week, month, season a leader most choose which front to apply those resources to very strategically. I have chosen to commit my resources, attention and talent to giving voice to those who feel like they are not being heard. StoryPower.tv will be the platform we deploy to offer a place for people to speak up. Will you consider sponsoring, hosting or co-promoting a stop on the StoryPower 1st Amendment Tour?” J Loren Norris

HOW MIGHT A LEADER MANIPULATE THE TRUTH IN ORDER TO DECEIVE OR MISLEAD?
“Statements such as ‘there is no evidence’ reek of arrogance when used by leaders who know the information exists which may or may not support the claims they are contradicting. When used by members of the media, professional journalists and politicians the bias of opinion seems clear. Leaders must establish themselves in facts, data, core values and unchanging truths in such a way that the evidence becomes obvious and ‘self evident’.” J Loren Norris

THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN A LEADER WHO LIES IS A LEADER WHO MANIPULATES TRUTH IN AN UNTRUTHFUL WAY.
“The amount of devastation experienced in the last 12 months as a result of a worldwide reset opportunity created by an illness with a 98% plus survival rate is almost unbelievable. The only thing worse in my opinion is the series of revelations now coming to light which expose misleading information, manipulation of facts, ambiguity of sciences and the now irreversible damage they have caused. Of course this is not the only example of lies held as truth which have devastating effect, but it is the largest. It is also heart wrenching to know that much of the devastation could have been avoided, but cannot be reversed.” J Loren Norris

”Your story has the power to shape your brand, build your audience, enrage your competition, increase customer loyalty, raise your blood pressure, and lead to massive health issues.

ITS NOT JUST WHAT YOU LEARN BUT WHO YOU LEARN FROM - LIKE PROPAGANDISTS DISGUISED AS ENTERTAINERS
“Propaganda is one of the oldest tools for control in the history of the world. Some religious texts a would suggest the very first two humans in existence were the targets of a successful propaganda campaign which lead to their ultimate demise. Today, propagandists are still busy at work, they have simply taken on different forms and disguises. It is the role of the leader to identify and disarm propaganda which could effectively disable their team. Do your homework, please.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS MUST PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE OTHER PERSONS RESPONSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CANNOT CONTROL IT.
“When the media, the interrogators, the public begin asking questions of your team, it can be a nerve racking moment for any leader. Unscripted answers can be unpredictable, potentially devastating, and likely based on uninformed opinion. Without being a tyrant and demanding everyone answer with canned rhetoric, controlling those answers is near impossible. It is also very important to allow team members to hold and express their open perceptions, to have their own voice. The best way to navigate these blind spots is... aahhh watch the video.” J Loren Norris

THE HARDEST THING FOR A LEADER TO BUILD IS ALSO THE MOST CRUCIAL.
”As a leader begins to experience success: growth in influence, income and impact, there will be no shortage of people seeking to call themselves ‘friend.’ In fact, friends will come out of the woodwork on every side. People who have been in the shadows through all the pain, heartache and struggle will sidle up next to a leader who is fresh in the spotlight. Building an inner circle of friends who will tell you hard truth is emotionally grueling work. It is also one of the most important assignments a leader will ever tackle.” J Loren Norris

PEOPLE IGNORE ABUSES THEY BECOME DESENSITIZED TO... ITS A PROCESS CALLED GROOMING. THE USE OF TRIGGERS IS INTENTIONAL!
“The need for control is an addiction that every leader and politician must resist. Leadership is about influence not control. Control is a form of abuse which requires manipulation and coercion. In order for total control to exist, the process of grooming must precede the request for surrender because no one will naturally give up their liberty without it. The instilling of triggers, dog whistles and subconscious linguistics takes time, patience, a long range plan and forethought of evil intent.
To assume the decades long assault on the American way of life, the structure and nomenclature of family, the intent of the Founding Fathers, the cause and motivation of liberty and independence was incidental and unrelated to some longer range plan, is to live unaware of the abuse to which you have been subjected and the infinite game you are participating in.” J Loren Norris Facebook won’t like this video - please SHARE and Re-SHARE as much as you can before it goes dark.

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS OF THE MYOPIC LEADER CAN LEAD TO THE BROKENNESS OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE FOR THOSE THEY LEAD.
“Leaders become leaders because they have vision, influence, competence and confidence. Leaders must have the ability to make decisions under pressure, examine potential outcomes and consider the benefit versus risks of every choice. Leaders also must realize they don’t always have all the information required to avert every resulting consequence. Step back, ask for other perspectives, gain insight, decide when you must, but don’t rush to decide and don’t decide only to benefit you.” J Loren Norris

WHAT DOES YOUR PERSONAL RESET LOOK LIKE?
What are you missing in your “camera angles” of life and leadership? Until you change the perspective, focus and lighting, there will be things you simply cannot see. Just because you cannot see the issues in the background doesn’t mean no one sees them. It’s altogether possible the entire world is looking and asking: “Why doesn’t he or she deal with that issue?” When you zoom in close, or look at a wider angle, things will be in focus that you are currently not aware of. When you’re ready for a real challenge, turn the camera around and see the world through the lens and filters you apply to yourself.” J Loren Norris

WHEN DO YOU ATTACH YOUR NAME OR BRAND TO A PROJECT OR IDEA?
“Many coaches, teachers, trainers and consultants will sell you a course or program, deliver their content and mosey on down the road. Their commitment is oriented to the sale more than the transformation of the buyer. I know this is a grossed generalization, unless you are the buyer.
How well can you trust a brand or service provider with a track record of enormous sales volume? Do loads of sales mean the product or service is incredible or just the presence of an aggressive and successful sales team? If you are the coach, consultant or content provider, do you brand solid solutions and radical transformation or do you brand a great sales process?” J Loren Norris

HAVE YOU EVER EXPERIENCED THE FRUSTRATION OF YELLING “THATS NOT WHAT HAPPENED!” ?
“Few things are as frustrating for a leader, a parent or anyone as defending yourself against false accusations. However, the cancel culture and other narrative based agendas leave a very similar sense of emotional dissonance when attacking, editing or altering history, or even current events with a narrative which does not resonate with the eyewitness accounts. For this reason we need to be very diligent at taking copious notes and documenting them in many forms such as audible and video recordings, digital data storage and especially handwritten journals.” J Loren Norris

IF BRAIN WASHING IS A MYTH WHY DO LEADERS & LAW ENFORCEMENT USE ?
PERSUASIVE SALES TECHNIQUES. MOTOVATIONAL SPEAKERS. POLITICAL RHETORIC. NLP. IF BRAIN WASHING IS A MYTH WHY DO LEADERS IN THESE INDUSTRIES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT USE THE SAME METHODS?
“The ability to persuade, coerce or manipulate is not the same as the right to do so. Neither is it an indication as to the level of responsibility, accountability and intent of the person or persons employing such tactics. From gaslighting to dog whistles, rhetoric has been deployed through narrative for as long as humans have had language. The art from, steps, stages, practices of psychological warfare have been studied, developed and deployed mostly in the last 60-75 years.
As technological advancements, discoveries in human neuroscience and the hunger for power over others continues to accelerate, so does the application of brainwashing. The core concern is INTENT. What is the end goal of the influence one wishes to exercise? Will the subtleties be for the benefit of the influenced or for the benefit of the leadership? (Hypnosis for depression or smoking cessation vs tyrannical behavior modification for loyalty and compliance.) In this lens, we must understand, influence, persuasion, coercion are all tools - neutral in their existence and only the intent of the user can be judged as either good of bad.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP - LIKE GENIUS DOESN’T GROW IN A VACUUM
“Leaders are expected to have all the answers. Many leaders expect their answers to be solid, trust worthy, applicable, and ready to execute. What many leaders miss is a diverse perspective. The rush to make leadership decisions from one set of eyes limits the effectiveness of the ideas and the decisions. No one, no matter how smart has all the answers. Diversity demands we all bounce ideas off of others who live outside of our world purview, who can offer a new perspective to consider and who can apply the ‘poke, stretch, smash, pull and twist test’ to the leader’s ideas.” J Loren Norris

The risk of trusting without verifying information provided by others is not unlike trusting the layer of ice on your swimming pool or the invisible ice on the patio.

“Trust requires more than simply knowing what to expect. It requires sharing what scares us to reveal with those who work most closely with us. I don’t mean airing your dirty laundry, telling all your secrets, reading your diary out loud.

LEADERS WHO DON’T LEARN TO CONTROL THEIR ATTITUDE WILL FIND THEIR FUTURE CONTROLLED BY THEIR ATTITUDE.
“Too many times a moment of emotional response which seems out of character, off the cuff, incongruent with the person exhibiting an outburst, has been the determining factor of the future. From new hire candidates to Presidential candidates, a slip of the tongue, an unexpected facial expression, a questionable body gesture have been the undoing of great hope-filled opportunities. Leaders must learn what drives these responses, how attitude impacts their presentation and how to gain mastery of these artifacts before they lose control of their future.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS NEED TO BE AWARE WHEN ATTITUDE IS A DESTRUCTIVE FORCE ON THEIR TEAM.
“When a destructive attitude is damaging your bottom line, you often won’t know it until the annual numbers are reviewed. By then, its only numbers and might be blamed on sales, processes, systems, market conditions or customer trends. Take the time to hire a secret shopper, conduct an attitude assessment of your own or hire J Loren Norris for an Attitude Hack Live Training. Whatever you choose to do, DO NOT ignore or minimize the impact an attitude will have on sales, team morale, employee retention and the bottom line.” J Loren Norris

DID YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A LEADERSHIP ASSIGNMENT TO SHARE THE STORIES OF THE LESSONS YOU’VE LEARNED?
”Leadership is built on lessons learned through education and experience. In my understanding that is the definition of wisdom. If you want wisdom, you need to ask. If you want to share wisdom, a story is always significantly more effective than a lecture. Especially if that story is something you have actually lived through. That’s what I call Storypower.” J Loren Norris

HAVE YOU ALREADY FORGOTTEN THAT YOU ALREADY KNEW AND DON’T HAVE TO LEARN... JUST DO?
”Understand the difference between a coach and a mentor. A mentor is someone who has ‘been there and done that’ before while a coach is someone SPECIFICALLY TRAINED to bring you a new level of awareness. The truth is you have likely learned all the details, instruction and skills needed to reach your goals in life. What you are missing is the process and practice of unlearning the things which are sabotaging your progress. That’s what a COACH is for.” J Loren Norris

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST ROLE IN YOUR OWN SUCCESS??
“NO AMOUNT OF ACTION is equal to adequate time spent thinking, planning and considering the action before you embark. Taking action for the sake of taking action, being busy for the sake of being busy, these are the behavior of a hamster on a wheel. Get off the action treadmill for a moment and spend sometime in strategic thinking.” J Loren Norris

WHY IS RELEVANCY THE CURRENCY OF THE INFORMATION AGE?
“In a day when every offer, every sell, every relationship seems to be based on bribes otherwise known as ‘freemiums’, its uncommon for people to join, follow, buy or participate without first being satisfied with the answer to one specific question: WHATS IN IT FOR ME? Leaders who do not address this question or who have an insufficient answer to it demonstrate diminished market value. In a head to head contest, they will lose every time.” J Loren Norris

”The farm team is the ideal place for practice that perfects the maturation process of growth. Its where natural talent is honed through improved skills application.

ARE YOU MANIPULATABLE? OR ARE YOU IMPERVIOUS?
“There are few manipulators more effective, more pervasive, more persistent than a toddler. We, as parents have all experienced the ‘water works’ and temper tantrums of a toddler who does not get their way. We can all clearly identify that form of manipulation.
Do we also see the manipulation of leadership? Do we see manipulation when it affects us with the same level of diligence we watch for manipulation perpetrated by us?
As a leader you must know the distinguishing mark between influence and manipulation is measured by intent. Who will be better for this choice or change of course? Whose life benefits most? If its the leader and the leader alone, that is manipulation not just influence.” J Loren Norris

DO YOU MEASURE RESULTS OR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDES?
Leadership is more like a jigsaw puzzle than legos. The pieces won’t fit just anywhere and if you know the desired outcome or image you are trying to create assembly is much easier. Having said that, many organizations have a sketch of the desired outcome, but when it comes to assembly they are more likely to erase and redraw the sketch than they are to remove and replace certain puzzle pieces. Leaders must be willing to ask why they have achieved the results they have. The same thinking that got you HERE...
Simply measuring the results to determine the gap between desired and achieved results will lead to ‘minding the gap’ philosophy and management style. This results not in true change or transformation but in the proverbial carrot and stick way of leading.

WHAT IS THE MOST ADMIRABLE LEADERSHIP TRAIT?
”Leaders are expected to be super human in some aspects. Incredible skills, wisdom, insight and compassion are the minimum bar of a leader. But among all the traits a leader must possess I believe the most important is fairness. Life is not generally fair, but the people you lead should be able to say you trait them with the same respect, appreciation and dignity regardless their background, belief systems or skin color.” J Loren Norris

TODAY’S MESSAGE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. YOU HAVE BEEN TRIGGER WARNED... - Bible references included.
Now is a time like few in history. Sure we have seen political and social upheaval before. We have seen unrest, riots, danger and calamity before. We have been through wars and rumors of wars. We have endured lies, propaganda, selfish agendas, and out right evil words and deeds. Now is a time when the call of the peace maker must ring louder than every other voice.
If you are a person of faith, what you must be fighting for is peace. Not necessarily in the hallowed halls of congress or the streets of your community but in the prayer closet on your knees. If you have ever asked God for a promise, a change, a gift, a life of a loved one, a financial blessing or an open door, now is the time to carry water for Him in return. We will overcome the evil, by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of our testimony!
DO NOT let your voice be silenced. Use your #STORYPOWER! Let the truth be heard.

BRIDLE YOUR PASSION TO PREVENT FRUSTRATION AND CONTROL ANGER IN LEADERSHIP
“Regardless your level of leadership, your ability to ascertain awareness of and manage your emotions is a crucial key to your success. Sadly, much of society today has equated passion with toxic masculinity and done everything plausible to root it out. Whether one to one or one to many, if your inexpressible passion morphs into frustration, it will likely manifest itself as anger both verbally and behaviorally. There is no good to come of that. Leaders must learn to bridle, or harness their deepest passions and direct them successfully.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIPx IDEAS SHOULD BE TRIED AND TESTED - LEAD YOURSELF FIRST STYLE - BEFORE EXPORTING THEM TO FAMILIES, TEAMS, ORGANIZATIONS OR NATIONS
”Its not enough to declare an idea valid or effective based on academic theory alone. Sufficient effort should be made to try and test any leadership idea in small samples for systems, processes and duplicatable results. Failure to do so is an abdication of a leader’s responsibility to those they lead. If the idea doesn’t work on you, don’t expose your family, team, organization, nation or world to it.” J Loren Norris

IS DIVISION A DISTRACTION? OR IS DISTRACTION A FORM OF DIVISION?
“Whether your passion is to make it to the pros from a D1 college or to run a global sales company or to rule the free world, if you find yourself distracted, the dividing of your attention will reduce or eliminate the power of your focus to accomplish your goals.” J Loren Norris
Watch the #leadingleaderspodcast video 1-11-21: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/is-division-a-distraction-or-is-distraction-a-form-of-division
Ask any top level athlete what happens when they enter a new romantic relationship. Distraction. Divided attention. Diminished focus. Lagging results. The same will be true of an organization of any size. When divisions occur among team mates, distraction ensues. When distractions about pay gaps, time cards, experience vs opportunity or any external affairs draw the attention of your team, your organizational vision is at danger of peril.
If you, as a leader, want to grow yourself and your organization, you must be deliberate, intentional and unwavering in your focus, both up close in the minute to minute granular details and the long range vision years down the road. You must also be willing and able to competently articulate that vision to the team until they find themselves uttering it in their sleep.

ALL TRIANGLES ARE SHAPES. NOT ALL SHAPES ARE TRIANGLES. ALL LEADERS ARE INFLUENCERS. NOT ALL INFLUENCERS ARE LEADERS.
Influence is the most powerful tool of leadership. In fact, one cannot lead without the ability to influence. One can manage, manipulate or even demand certain behavior and outcomes, but that is not good leadership.
However, just because people pay attention to you, watch you as you buy your way to fame or make a fool of yourself for pure attention’s sake, you may gain the appearance of influence, the affects of influence and the reputation of ‘influencer’ but that does not equate to quality leadership.
As followers, we all must endeavor to discern the motives and intent of influencers before trusting them to lead us. Are they amassing ‘likes’ and ‘followers’ for the fame and fortune it produces? Are they people who will add value, insight, empowerment and encouragement to our lives? Do they truly care about the people that follow them?
As leaders, we must constantly evaluate our own motives and intentions to ensure we are leading from a good place. If you need people to like you and validate you as a leader, you have insecurity issues you need to address before leading. If you lose all your courage and leadership moxie the first time someone is critical of your style or content, you may have a position of leadership and yet more room to grow your leadership skills.
“Just because an influencer has millions of followers and millions of downloads does not imply they are an effective and genuine leader. Committing yourself to lead with influence not to seek the fame of being an influencer is hard work with a more desirable payoff than fame alone.” J Loren Norris

COLLECTIVISM VS TEAMWORK: AS A LEADER DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE OR WHYT IT MATTERS?
”A society, team, organization or family must recognize and respect the needs of each of its members equally in order to function with many sense of justice or modicum of fairness. To down play, diminish or ignore anyone’s needs compared to another is inequity.
To value the individual equally however is not the same as valuing their contribution or competence equally. The value of a human as a human is equal among all humans. The value ie price tag of a skill set, talent, education and the correlated contribution to a productive society is not equal to the value of a life.
As a team leader, the variance of social, mental, financial investment made in various team members is not related to their inherent value as humans, but to the value of their contribution to a desired outcome.” J Loren Norris

YOU CANNOT MANAGE WHAT YOU DO NOT MEASURE. JOURNALING IS OF LITTLE VALUE IF YOU DO NOT USE IT TO REVIEW AND COURSE CORRECT.
“If you are only tracking your progress without tracking your process, you are managing only the results and not the attitudes, actions and behaviors which brought the results. If you are researching, learning, studying, practicing progressing, but keeping no record of it, HOW DO YOU KNOW you’re progressing? If I you are focused on personal growth, a journal is a critical tool. Reviewing that journal regularly is a critical step in your growth. Course correcting from what you discover is only true measure of personal growth.” J Loren Norris

LEADERS NEED A MACRO VISION FOR UNDERSTANDING AND A MICRO VISION FOR GRANULAR APPLICATION.
“A great idea is often a fleeting thing. The moment a brilliant idea comes to mind is not always convenient. Nevertheless, leaders will find a way to record that brilliance in the instant because the notion will evaporate as quickly as it came. You must be micro minded enough to catch all the details and activities of brilliant ideas in process and macro minded enough to see how they all fit together.” J Loren Norris

SOME PEOPLE HAVE USED THIS 2 WORD PHRASE AS INSULT AGAINST ME. I CONSIDER IT EQUALLY VILE TO A RACIAL SLUR. DEROGATORY REMARKS ABOUT SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION.
WATCH THE VIDEO TO UNDERSTAND WHY... #leadingleaderspodcast 12-22-20: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/some-people-have-used-this-2-word-phrase-as-insult-against-me
If the best counter you have to a thought I share is to ridicule and call names, then your limited inability to converse honestly and intelligently exposes itself. I am not questioning the intellect of the people who disagree with me. I am not trying to insult people who think differently than I do. But I am vehemently opposed to the notion that disagreement is a mental disorder. It is not!
Disagreement is often the birthplace of innovation, collaborative learning and discovery. Forced agreement, forced compliance is often the birthplace of abuse, tyrannical control, and prolonged manipulation. Consensus and scientific fact are not interchangeable. Mass adoption of an idea does not make it a good idea. (DDT? CFC? Halon? Monsanto?)
A healthy debate will lead to deeper understanding. On open mind, supported by core values and sufficient research will lead to qualified new ideas, opinions and opportunities. A society that pathologizes dissent is a society on its way to a complete loss of freedom. Know this, any group of people who fight to gain total control, gain any ground in that direction, they will fight equally hard to maintain what control they already have. A freedom lost is twice as hard to get back as it would have been to protect it to begin with. Ask the people of Hong Kong circa 1997-2020.

DO YOU LEAD WITH “PARENTAL DELUSION” OR ROSE COLORED GLASSES?
“Too many leaders view their employee through the same lenses parents use to see no flaws in their own children. If it seems like everything is going well and you can spot no issues, perhaps its time for a 360 evaluation with people who will tell the leaders the truth.” J Loren Norris

“THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE QUALITY OF THE QUESTIONS YOU’RE WILLING TO ASK YOURSELF.” Christian Simpson
HERE ARE 5 QUESTIONS TO JUMPSTART 2021. If money were no issue, what job would I WANT to have? If travel restrictions and cost were not prohibitive, where would I want to go? Who am I allowing in my life who challenges me, what I think, what I say and what I do? Who am I intentionally adding value to? What could I do better if I eliminated distractions and procrastination?

ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL TOOLS OF A LEADER AND THEIR LEGACY IS A HAND WRITTEN JOURNAL! “I type faster with my thumbs than with my keyboard and I get hand cramps when I write too much.

“There a too many people in this world who are too lazy or too conniving to earn success on their own merit. They will do all they can to get close enough to you to live and ‘succeed’ in your shadow. They will contribute little and take all they can. Be cautious and alert about who you allow into your inner circle.

IF YOU PIVOTED IN 2020, IS IT TIME TO DRIBBLE, PASS, OR FIND A NEW GAME PLAN LEADING IN 2021?
“It’s real easy to sling around the phrase ‘pivot’ to describe how leaders might address change. The real issue is having a vision so well defined that a change in game plan, tactics and strategies doesn’t mean a crushing of the vision or a dismantling of the organization. Nor does it mean spinning in circles making no progress. “ J Loren Norris Watch the #leadingleaderspodcast video 12-11-20: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/if-you-pivoted-in-2020-is-it-time-to-dribble-pass-or-find-a-new-game-plan-leading-in-2021

WHAT IS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN TRUTH AND FACT? WHO DECIDES? WHAT DOES IT MATTER?
“Confusion, disorientation, misdirection, illusion, these are all strategies leaders, politicians, giant companies, media and global organizations learn to master. as a means of. One of the most powerful tools of psychological warfare is a simple question: A question which offers no real answer, but carries in it an accusation and challenging of all that you hold to be truth. This tactic is employed to tip you off balance, to move you from the center of your foundation, where your ideas and even morality will become more pliable.” J Loren Norris Watch the #leadingleaderspodcast video 12-10-20: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/what-is-the-distinction-between-truth-and-fact-who-decides-what-does-it-matter

“Look it’s easy to entertain, to distract and to strive to gain the attention of the masses.

SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS WATCHING. WHAT YOU’RE DOING MAY NOT BE WRONG TODAY BUT MIGHT BE LATER AND NOW ITS RECORDED.
“If integrity is doing what’s right when no one is watching, we must reconsider when we realize someone is always watching. What you consider right, moral, responsible as a leader today, might become wrong in the near future.
What you say, what you think, what you intend, all of these are being monitored, recorded and tabulated. Every post on social media is recorded and psychoanalytic of your relationships and ideologies. Every gps record, stopping point, visit location and driving habit is being tracked by your car and your mobile device. Ring doorbells, atm machines, company security comes are all able to be logged, cross referenced and analyzed.
The idea of this time of ‘overwatch’ has been in mind for decades or more. Today it is no longer a notion, it is our reality. Now is the time every leader must reevaluate their core values, their communication, their connections, their relationships. If you dare to hold to core values counter to those who are in power or gaining power, you must also be willing to pay the price.
If your values are able to be shifted based on the convenience and conventions of shifting power, they were not core values to begin with.” J Loren Norris Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 12-4-20: http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/somebody-is-always-watching-what-youre-doing _________________________________ Leading Leaders Podcast is a short but impactful leadership video, blog and podcast distributed 5 days a week by J Loren Norris to promote faith, family and freedom in the face of a global leadership drought.

IS YOUR REALITY AUGMENTED? IS IT THE ONLY TRUTH YOU KNOW?
“The pressure to believe only what you’re told is growing more intense daily. The truth you know is the truth you are allowed to know. The information you use to make decisions from business, to family to finance is controlled, fed, manipulated by a collective of ‘smarter minds’. When you lead people, you owe it to them to give them all the information for them to make decisions. Trusting them to be responsible, to make decisions accountably and to execute their assigned tasks with diligence requires an informed team.” J Loren Norris

THE GAMES WE PLAY OFTEN TRAIN US IN COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
“In the infinite game, the rules can change as often as the players. Because the game has no official end, those who control the rules determine those who excel and those who do not. The way we view the world, what we accept as truth, how we treat one another or even perceived ourselves, all of these things are under assault from those who see a long range agenda others don’t see. Whoever controls the language, controls the battle. Whoever controls the battle, controls the war. Often, leaders lose the battle because they don’t recognize the game they are actually playing or the rules of that game.” J Loren Norris

THE HARDEST ARGUMENT TO WIN IS THE DISINGENUOUS ONE BECAUSE YOU’RE LIKELY ARGUING WITH FEELINGS RATHER THAN FACTS.
“Feelings are hard to beat. Facts don’t matter to someone driven by their emotions. The point of the argument will be lost and the hurt feelings never will.

THE BIGGER THE LIE IS THE EASIER IT IS TO SELL. A LIE TOLD LONG ENOUGH AND OFTEN ENOUGH BECOMES THE TRUTH.
It’s really amazing but absolutely true that first person to lie is believed most of the time. It’s also amazing that the more outlandish a lie is, the more extravagant the exaggeration is, the more likely it will be accepted. Sadly, this means manipulation is easier on a grander scale than on subtleties.
Leaders MUST be vigilant, diligent, focused and attentive to the schemers and trickery used to manipulate and deceive. Leaders must be accountable to a higher standard and guarded to uphold it.

LEADERS! GUARD YOUR WORDS LEST THEY BE USED AGAINST YOU! “We have all experienced that ‘THAT’S NOT WHAT I SAID’ moment at some point in our life. A moment when we were punished for someone else’s behavior, accused of something we did not do or say, or simply misquoted whether maliciously or incidentally. As technologies make digital fakes more realistic and easier for anyone to create, leaders must be constantly on their guard for the words they say AS WELL AS to whom they entrust their words. ‘Anything you say, can and will be used against you...’” J Loren Norris

FROM SONG LYRICS TO MEANINGFUL QUERY. ARE YOU PROUD OR ASHAMED TO BE AN AMERICAN?
“The depth of passion with which I am proud to be an American does not negate my awareness that my beloved nation is guilty of disturbing and hurtful ideologies, practices, and rhetoric. However, I also believe among all other nations on Earth we have a far more positive history of good deeds done for all races, sexes, religious beliefs than negative. I am saddened by the wrong that has been done. I am heart broken for the lives diminished and destroyed. I am hopeful for a brighter future for people all over the world, if America prevails and continues to improve.” J Loren Norris

WHAT ARE DHRBS AND WHY ARE THEY SO THREATENING TO ELITES?
“There is a fresh kind of personal power found in DHRB’s. Something which can never be stolen, confiscated, taxed or destroyed is of extreme value. You have to know what is real and true. You also have to know how and why you came to that conclusion. If you don’t know, your life and your convictions will be manipulated and controlled by others with a nefarious agenda. Freedom and independence are DHRB’s and are also guarded by DHRB’s.” J Loren Norris

WHEN THE ACCUSATION IS WORSE THAN THE TRUTH, HOW SHOULD A LEADER RESPOND?
“No one appreciates a false accusation except the accuser. Yet, false accusations and allegations are often more damaging than the truth. How leaders respond or react to accusations could determine the outcome for an individual’s career, a company’s market strength and the longevity of success. We need to engage in a thoughtful conversation about this phenomenon and how to address it as the volume of baseless accusations go unchecked.” J Loren Norris

INTENTION. VISION. OPTICS. PLANS. PERCEPTIONS. WHY SHOULD LEADERS CARE?
“The best laid plans of mice and men... Every battle plan is good until fifteen minutes after conflict with the enemy, Every leader faces the challenge of presenting a plan, strategy or new direction and dealing with the opposition which is inevitable. Good leaders consider the optics, perceptions, intentions and biases of the end user as well as the implementers of the plan before presenting it for final application.” J Loren Norris

“Leaders don’t get to be leaders because they are clueless.

LEADERS MUST DECIDE WHAT KIND OF LIFE THEY WANT TO LIVE AND THEN TAKE ACTION TO INSURE IT HAPPENS.
“If you could choose your way of life, would that make you vote? If you could choose the country or type of country you. live in, would that make you vote? If you could simply believe what the different political parties tell you about the future they have in mind for YOUR LIFE, would that make you vote?” All of these are BETTER REASONS to vote than the agreement with or approval of a particular personality.” J Loren Norris

“Imitation may be the greatest form of flattery, but the mockery and the manipulation of an idea contrary to the intent of the originator is a social form of hijacking.

STORYPOWER IS A WORLDVIEW SHAPING TOOL
”High school and college are a great season of life to discuss, articulate and consider an individual’s worldview, but it is significantly too late to shape or create it. Worldview is tied to belief system and character which are originated between 2-7 years old based on experiences, relationships and environment. The stories you tell your toddlers will be the greatest shapers of their life long worldview.” J Loren Norris
Worldview impacts several significant life choices such as career, education level and course, personal relationships, voting habits and charitable giving.

HUBRIS ALONE ALLOWS ONE TO REVEAL THE PLAN NO ONE THOUGHT EVEN REASONABLY POSSIBLE AND DO IT ANYWAY.
“Constantly modifying behavior based on social acceptance is a good start, but moral character based on core values must go deeper than popular opinion and socially acceptable behavior. What level of arrogance is required to persist in doing what you know is wrong, damaging or destructive? Is it hubris alone, narcissism, or something more clandestine?

LETS TALK ABOUT CORE VALUES - CONFIDENCE
“Confidence is simultaneously invaluable and fragile. Confidence is also the first target of haters and doubters who wish to stop or prevent your success. Core values help to make decisions before the moment of choice arrives. Confidence is the internal knowledge of competence which keeps you pressing forward against the odds simply because you firmly believe you can. Choose now to believe in yourself and make confidence a core value.” J Loren Norris

LETS TALK CORE VALUES - RESPECT
“Respect is a core value paramount to successful unity in a space of diversity. When respect is foundational and based on the value of humanity alone, no differences come between us because all differences have intrinsic value.” J Loren Norris Leaders who operate without core values run the risk of being lead off course of their organizational goals and targets by the whims of ever changing social influence.
Leaders who establish their core values early, discuss them often and demonstrate them in the culture of their organization will see that clarity converted to focus On function and productivity.
Leaders who make RESPECT an organizational core value, proactively avert the damage of hostility and friction brought into the work place by bullies of any type.
Leaders who understand that respect by definition is an attitude (attitude = feeling + thought) strategically employ AttitudeHack as a leadership training program.

WHAT EXCUSES ARE YOU EMPLOYING TO AVOID RISK?
“You can make excuses or you can make progress, it is near impossible to make both. If you find yourself and your success waiting for someone to pitch in, to help out or to join your cause, you would be better served to get busy making the effort to cross the finish line alone. You are likely to find others begging to join your passion and enthusiasm,” J Loren Norris
Mea culpa. I recorded this today in response to comments made in a Facebook Group yesterday. Please receive it as a challenge and encouragement.
I truly believe people tend to join a so-so movement with momentum faster than a stalled project with awesome potential.
Get busy. Give it all YOU HAVE and see if I am right. I believe others will be drawn to your activated passion.

WHAT IS IT YOU ONLY SHARE IN CERTAIN CIRCLES? WHAT IS IT YOU ARE AFRAID TO SPEAK UP ABOUT? by J Loren Norris
"Your driving thoughts, ideas, emotions and conversations are often restricted due to your present environment. When your ideas are scattered, whimsical, and change with the day, they should be challenged. When you are not sure why you believe what you believe, you should be challenged. But regardless your ideas you should never be silenced." J Loren Norris

LEGAL. RIGHT. OR GOOD. DOES IT MATTER?
“‘It’s only wrong if you get caught.’ Right? NO. I am a firm, believer that good and right are knowable. I believe there are absolute laws of the universe which are not for the purpose of judgment or financial gain and that violating those laws comes with greater penalty than prosecution, jail time and fines.” J Loren Norris
LEGAL Just because law makers have not made a decision or ruling to outlaw something does not mean its a good idea. I am old enough to remember the legal debates about “physician assisted suicide.” I was a teenager then. My mind struggled so hard with that. Suicide is not punishable by law because if you succeed... well its hard to jail or punish a dead person. But if someone else ends a life, that is called murder or some variation of homicide. How then can there be a law to protect the doctor who “helps someone else to die”? Laws regarding same sex marriage, abortion, marijuana, age of consent, driving while texting are extremely contentious and likely always will be. Whether you and I agree with the law or not, we must obey it or face stiff penalties.
What happens when the law as it is written is in itself morally wrong - like slavery laws?
RIGHT If there is no trust worthy “right and wrong” then why have laws or law enforcement at all? If there is not a definable line of demarcation then all laws are simply in existence to manipulate human behavior to the advantage of those who write/ propose the laws. To the best of my understanding, the Constitution, The Bill of Rights, the Amendments to the Constitution in the USA, were all written with a similar mindset. Right and wrong are both knowable and absolute. The basics of laudable human interaction are outlined in all of the oldest religions, and most of them agree. These tenets are consistent, noteworthy and doable across all major religions at their founding core.
I encourage you to do some research on the founding religion of your choice and ask yourself, do these seem RIGHT to me and would these tenets be legal, permissible and beneficial?
GOOD Finally, I want to mention what I believe to be the most basic litmus test of all for human behaviors and interaction. Will this thing I am about to do or say hurt someone, offend someone, injure someone? If so, then perhaps there is no good to come from it and therefore it should be avoided. Good seems like a simple concept. But good is a judgment call in every sense of the word. If you do what is good for your fellow human, it might cause you pain, suffering or inconvenience. You might find that what benefits others is a pain in the nose for you. You might also find that human selfishness makes all us struggle with doing good for others. The result is, others might choose to do what suits them best and not you. This is why we have laws, to protect the goodness of behavior for those who are by nature less assertive from those who have a tendency to be more aggressive.
If you know what good is and you choose not to do good, there is a universal price to pay whether the “law” has caught up to you or not.

MUCH DESTRUCTION HAPPENS FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
“Cancers, fungus, disease, blood disorders, viruses and bacteria all destroy from within. Every organism and every organization fight internal destruction and damage to these type of internal forces. The key for leaders is understanding the source of the damage and how to destroy it.” J Loren Norris
INTERNAL PROBLEMS GO UNNOTICED Generally its a trip to the emergency room which reveals the heart disease, the diabetes, the cancer, the fungus that is slowly killing the patient. When the blood pressure is on the rise, the symptoms are often mysterious and unnerving. When the arteries are clogged, the time is short. If action isn’t taken, a life could be. However, the factors or symptoms which result in the doctor’s visit, the ambulance ride or the trip to HR are secondary. The real problem began quietly and likely long ago.
THEY ALL START WITH AN IMBALANCE An improper diet, bad information, lack of exercise, GMO intake, failed communication all of these contributions are the source of corruption which begins the silent destruction of organisms and organizations alike. An imbalanced approach to life sustaining processes, execution of goals, the intention of leadership will always lead to a growth of undesirable cells. Too much acid in the body will create fungus and candida. Too much tyranny in leadership will create rebellion and dissent. Too much dismissal of bad behavior, disregard for rules, disrespect for authority will create anarchy. Imbalance is damaging to the body, the team, the organization and the nation.
UNCHECKED THE FINAL EXPRESSION COULD BE FATAL All of these imbalances will end in irreversible damage or destruction if they remain unchecked and therefor unchanged. Change is not easy. Change requires discipline. Change demands a serious look at the roots of a problem not a reexamination of the symptoms. No amount of yelling, proclaiming or declaring in agreement or disagreement with the symptom will provide a solution any more than painting over a termite infested home or fungus infected toe nail Will make the problem disappear.
It’s time to take a deeper look at the daily habits, choices, decisions and activities which lead us to this place of imbalance, or start making funeral plans. __________________________________ Help us take this message to young leaders around the world.

WHAT DOES EQUAL OPPORTUNITY MEAN TO YOU?
- EQUAL OPPORTUNITY MEAN FAIRNESS Fairness is when the same rules apply to everyone. Fairness is when no one has an advantage based on arbitrary and uncontrollable circumstances. Fairness is not a guarantee in life. In fact, nature itself does not demonstrate fairness as the homeostasis in the universe. The weakest water buffalo gets eaten. The least heat resistant plants die in the sun. The fish searching for an easy meal gets hooked. The micro organisms which adapt most quickly, survive the longest. Those born with exceptional height and great agility thrive at basketball, shorter, slower less coordinated people like myself choose something else to do.
In the course of human engagement, fairness requires concerted effort. Fairness in society, fairness in business, fairness in sports always demands the attention of the rule makers, the game crafters and the boundaries when they are established.

SUBTLETY IS AN ARTFORM. LACK OF IT IS LIKE CRACKING EGGS WITH A SLEDGE HAMMER 7/17/2020
"It is often in our everyday relationships and common conversations that the subtlety of our own selfishness rears its head, reveals our intention and diverts our attention. Subtlety is the cause of wars, the kiss of betrayal and the wink of admiration all at once." J Loren Norris
Subtlety is often an internal nudge as well. An emotional spur, a reminder of pain from before, the frustration of unmet needs or desires, these can infiltrate otherwise normal conversations and create unplanned angry retorts. Like the horn in every picture the rhino paints, the confirmation bias of our own unmet wants and needs can skew the way we read the intentions or behavior of others. When they do not perform or treat us with the respect we feel we deserve, when they fail to recognize our efforts or best intentions and when they say or do something not to our pleasure, we must certainly LET THEM KNOW... right?

COGNITIVE DISSONANCE - STORYPOWER - MIND CONTROL & LEADERSHIP
"Cognitive dissonance is a noticeable imbalance between what you observe and what you already believe to be true. The ability to separate reality from belief is hard for most people. The ability to manipulate how others think with this tool is a common practice. Understanding and properly applying ethical communication practices is a leadership responsibility." J Loren Norris
COGNITIVE DISSONANCE
"Most people hold more firmly to lies they believe already than to the truth later revealed." J Loren Norris

WHO DO YOU RESONATE OR IDENTIFY WITH? WHO DO YOU RELATE TO? OR SEE YOURSELF AS?
DO YOU RESONATE/ IDENTIFY WITH THE HERO OR THE ANTAGONIST?
ARE YOU TEAM “WE NEED RADICAL TRANSFORMATION?” There are hundreds of thousands of people who have a view of the current state of the world that sees everything as corrupt, driven by greed and a power lust which destroys everything in it’s path. This view expresses itself in may ways, but one of those is a view of government and financial systems which supports dismantling all systems as they are now and converting them to a totally different system. This view generally has a specific system of governance in mind and a particular way of achieving their goals. The irony is, at the utopian pinnacle of the final manifestation of this system, those who have done the heavy lifting of the radical transformation usually find themselves the victims of an even more corrupt system with an even greater power lust and little to no regard for the rights of the masses who made it possible.
ARE YOU TEAM “LEAVE THINGS ALONE WE HONOR OUR HISTORY?”
ARE YOU TEAM “WE NEED TO MAKE CHANGES NOT DESTROY WHAT WE HAVE?” If you were to ask me where I fall, this would most likely be my team. I have traveled to many different places around the globe and experienced first hand many different types of cultures, societies, ideologies, political systems, religious systems and people. I can see failures, flaws and fallacies in most of them. I also ...
Yes, we need to transform thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors at every level to insure liberty and justice for all. We need to remain the destination of hope for those who have been outcasts of their own home lands. We also must realize and act in accordance with the truth, no system or society on earth has ever offered greater individual opportunity for success, greater individual freedoms, greater regard for human life than the United Stated of America.

DOES A “DO WHATEVER IT TAKES” MENTALITY DRIVE YOU?
“At every level of our lives OPPORTUNITY distractions derail us. Sometimes that’s a GREAT thing because distractions allow us to reduce stress, refocus and refresh. Sometimes though, distractions alter the course of our future, destroy hope and prevent us from fulfilling our destiny.” J Loren Norris
THREE RULES TO WIN IN THE FACE OF OPPORTUNITY DISTRACTIONS
- KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IMPORTANT AND URGENT The biggest challenge we face today is the pace of change. The ever moving global economy, the “never closed” digital market place, the constant news cycles are all reminders, those who sleep lose ground. In order to “get ahead” or even keep up with the competition, we all must have the newest technology, newest apps, newest sales methods or mechanism and we must apply these with a firm grasp on the winds of today’s social issues to avoid potential self destruction at the hands of “cancel culture”.
Mixed together, these factors become the tyranny of the urgent. “ACT NOW!” “LIMITED TIME OFFER!” “CLOSING IN X HOURS!” “SILENCE IS VIOLENCE!” Each one seems to demand redress immediately and the pressure to take action is part of the “sale” to get you engaged and activated. URGENCY is the emotion du jour. But that is not the same as IMPORTANT. Priorities should be determined long ahead of the news cycle. Driven by your vision and activated by a TO DO list which was crafted in acc... https://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/does-a-do-whatever-it-takes-mentality-drive-you

The emotional journey of the vision which drives your life purpose, calling and commitment should experience three major phases.
MOVED WITH COMPASSION There will be a moment in every leader’s life that someone will catch their eye, captivate their heart, provoke their imagination and move them to extreme action. That moment is called “moved with compassion.” Its that moment when the leader’s heart is broken for the plight of an individual, a group of individuals or a proverbial “tribe of people.’ When their pain, their struggle, their burden is too much to bear, too much to observe and something must be done.
COMPELLED TO ENGAGE When emotion drives action leaders are compelled to engage. No more time for watching, hoping for change. No more time for wishing someone else would step up, step in or step out. No more turning a blind eye. The sleepless nights, tear filled conversations, the sense of loss for an absolute stranger demands MORE... NOW. This is when the imagination begins to do its greatest work.

FREEDOM IS OFTEN PURCHASED BY OTHERS, BUT THE PRICE FOR INDEPENDENCE IS OURS TO PAY
“Freedom is what we all long for but seldom are we free to choose it for ourselves. After its purchased for us, the next choice is to use that freedom in search of independence. That requires our own struggles, strains and choices. Being independent is as costly as freedom.” J Loren Norris
FREEDOM IS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE Before one has freedom, the restrictions, limitations and opportunities of life are kept at bay. Decisions we would like to make simply are not ours to make. Freedom is the license handed to us after someone else has fought for it, paid for it, purchased it on our behalf. Freedom is a powerful license. Choices abound and consequences follow when there is freedom. Freedom to choose does not free us of consequences. We have the right to think freely, but not all thought is beneficial. We have the right to act freely, to come and go freely, to speak freely, to choose our friends and associates freely, but the consequences of those rights can be profound in their outcomes.
Just because you are FREE to do something, does not make doing it a good idea.
INDEPENDENCE IS THE RESPONSIBLE APPLICATION OF FREEDOM If you have been given freedom of any sort, on any level, you have been given a great deal more than you may realize. Every level of freedom

DO YOU SPEAK IN THE TERMS OF THE OTHER PERSONS INTEREST?
”Speaking both from extensive observation and personal experience, an idea no matter how profound, in-depth, or radical, is seldom a worthwhile idea when postulated and promoted in the vacuum of a single human mind. Not until the idea meets and endures the rigors of many minds will it be trustworthy. Conversation requires consideration. Consideration requires concern. Speaking in the terms of the other persons interest is the most sure way for your ideas to be considered in conversation often enough to become trustworthy.” J Loren Norris
BROW BEATING AND OTHER MANIPULATION To espouse an idea worthy of consideration is an honorable thing. To share that idea with others for the betterment of self, society and especially the idea is also an honorable thing. To propose and promote an idea which is unproven, untested, or known to be untrue with the force of certainty and the persistent, unrelenting pressure of persuasion is cruel manipulation. To repeat something as fact which you question to be true is a flaw in character, a lack of integrity. To repeat something you know to be untrue, fabricated, malicious or salacious is corrupt at best, evil at worst.
LET OTHERS EXPOSE THEIR RICH THINKING OR LACK THERE OF Most people who share ideas they have heard from unreliable sources do so because they have none of their own. Their own ideas are sparse and flimsy. Their limited exposure, limited research, minuscule understanding and selfish leanings drive their ideas to be myopic in scope and purpose. BY LISTENING, a fool becomes wise. BY LISTENING... https://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/do-you-speak-in-the-terms-of-the-other-persons-interest

WHAT WILL REMAIN WHEN THE WINDS OF CHANGE HAVE STOPPED HOWLING?
“When the tsunami is imminent the ocean retracts as if warning of the devastation to come. In that retraction, lies revelation. All that has been hidden just off the edge of the sandy party beach in the deep dark waters will be exposed. In that moment, there is shock and dismay and the sense of impending doom and peril. Yet the waves to come are often worse than the imagination can conceive. So it is with the social tsunamis which bring lasting transformation, the exposure is followed by a thrashing, is followed by cleansing and rebuilding.” J Loren Norris
TRUTH SUPERSEDES AND OUTLASTS One issue with social transformation is the manipulation of history by the victor. History belongs to the triumphant. Unfortunately, the history as told by the victor is a stolen history, misused history, a propagandist history. The history which must be told, is the hardest one to discover, to uncover and to reveal. I know, truth is hard to find after generations of intentional deceit.

FALLING FOWARD IS MOST LIKELY IF YOU FALL WITH GREAT MOMENTUM.
“Falling forward, failing forward demands the extra effort of momentum in the direction of your goals, LONG BEFORE the finish line is in sight. Like the runner who leans forward stretching their chest to break the tape, even if it means tumbling on the track seconds later. The effort which carries you to the finish line is often just short of carrying you THROUGH the finish line.” J Loren Norris
“BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND” This quote from Stephen Covey has been applied to everything from vision casting and goal setting to describing a cooking recipe. The concept is solid. The desired outcome should be clear enough to you that a sketch artist could create a photo quality rendering simply from your description.

HOW DO YOU WIN ON A BATTLEFIELD OF IDEAS?
“In many wars, there is no winner. There’s simply those left standing when the shooting is done. In a war of ideas, the battlefield of ideas is seldom littered with broken bodies, but often littered with bruised egos, damaged pride and broken wills. Sadly, attrition is seldom accomplished by common sense, truth, facts or reality but rather is driven back by emotional bullies and illogical rhetoric. So how do you win a battle for ideas?” J Loren Norris
HERE'S THE HIGHLIGHTS - FOR THE WHOLE ARTICLE CLICK HERE: https://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/...
FOUR STEPS TO WIN ON THE BATTLEFIELD OF IDEAS
-
KEEP YOUR PEACE AND WITS - STAY CALM Stay calm so you can think and use your logical brain not your emotions to make choices.
-
KNOW YOUR FACTS, YOUR DATA, THE MOST COMMONLY ACCEPTED TRUTH Build rapport by connecting with shared emotions, but speak logically with the most reliable facts.
-
BE PATIENT Buoys float. Anchors hold the ship. Neither control the storm, they simply hold on until it has passed.
-
BE PERSISTENT - CONSISTENT - RELIABLE
If you followed all three steps above, you have likely found the peace of knowing the truth has been revealed after all the lies were exposed and the emotional hype has waned. If on the other hand, you skipped one of those steps, or all of them and allowed your opinion to be swayed in the heat of the moment, there will be a day of reckoning, whether personal and private or publicly pronounced. Truth is in no hurry. People are the ones who rush to make judgements.
This battle was here before you came along and will remain long after you’re gone. The best you can hope for is to own fully and hold firmly the slivers of truth you choose to live by and stand your ground in the storms of life.
Remain confident in this: the truth always wins eventually and this battle of ideas is an infinite game.

LEADERS: DO YOU INSPIRE FANS OR FOLLOWERS? DO YOU INVITE ADMIRERS OR INVESTORS?
“It’s easy to gather a gaggle of people who are entertained by your self destruction. People will whip out a cell phone in seconds if you set yourself on fire in the street. You will create an instant fan base and tons of notoriety. But ask them to set themselves on fire with you and watch them run away. Those are fans not followers. You have become a spectacle not a leader.” J Loren Norris
THERE’S ALWAYS A PRICE TO PAY Very few leaders accomplish the level of influence they desire. Not because they don’t try hard enough, not because they don’t have the expertise to lead, not because they do not reach the crowds with sufficient marketing or awareness. No they fail to reach the level of influence they are seeking because... READ MORE http://www.jlorennorris.com/podcast/leaders-do-you-inspire-fans-or-followers-do-you-invite-admirers-or-investors

WHAT WOULD YOU DO MORE OF, IF YOU GOT PAID FOR IT?
Let’s put this question in the frame of your current job. You have likely heard or even said the words, “That’s not in my job description” or “They don’t pay me enough to do that.” These statements reflect an attitude which is powerful, palpable and highly contagious.
This attitude permeates the work place, the family, the education system and the society at large. It is a prime example of the psychology behind the title of this article. People will do more of what they are rewarded for doing. They will often REFUSE to do what they are not handsomely rewarded for doing.

REIMAGINE YOUR STORY AS AUDIENCE-CENTRIC
“Because StoryPower is a read/ write tool, your story selection and story crafting must become audience-centric. If every story you tell to make a point only focuses on your past tragedies, you will not empower your audience to enjoy the same victories you did. You must select and craft stories which invite them to invest in a better future.” J Loren Norris
STORYPOWER AS A “READ TOOL”
Stories are a powerful way to recall, recount and reveal historic events. The more the story fits to real life, the more believable, the more it involves emotional attachment the more the memories come alive. If you have ever listened to someone recount the events of their life and seen them tear up, or laugh out loud along the way, chances are they are reliving the event as they tell it. There is nothing more powerful for transferring the emotions and creating a memorable event than being present in the story as you tell it. The power to resonate and connect with your audience is deep and wide when they get to experience the event with you through the emotional journey.
Now that you have them connected with you, take them somewhere worth going.
STORYPOWER AS A “WRITE TOOL”
It’s a powerful thing to “latch on” to an audience and have them shadowing you on a journey through your recalled and recounted emotions. Its a whole new level of influence and respons...

IN LEADERSHIP JUST LIKE IN HISTORY, TIMING IS EVERYTHING!
“If those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it, then those who lead without understanding the times they lead in are doomed to the scrap heap of leadership legacies.. You can neither live nor lead in vacuum sealed echo chamber.” J Loren Norris
No one could have planned or predicted the social, cultural, political and economic paradigm shifts of the first two quarters of 2020. The best prognosticators in the universe would have gotten it wrong to some degree. One term that has been thrown around is :unprecedented. In my opinion, that is the most accurate description. What does this mean for leadership? How can you plan to lead WHERE NO ONE HAS BEEN BEFORE? How do you avoid the faux-pas of the past?
LEADERS CANNOT BE CULTURALLY DEAF
AS a father of four and a grandfather of eight, I have learned to distinguish cries of pain, injury or discomfort from the cries of “I want it my way and I want it NOW!” With millions of voices clambering to be heard in the streets, in the voting booths and in social media, you must know, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME! A two year old crying because they fell sounds much like a two year old crying because they need a new diaper. But they sound entirely different than a two year old who wants their toy back because they refuse to share or worse, the cry of a two year who is bullying some one else to GET THEIR TOYS.
Leaders must be able to distinguish the voices of the unheard from the voices of the entitlement tyrants. To do this, leaders need to listen for the purpose of hearing and understanding.
LEADERS CANNOT BE CULTURALLY BLIND

HATERS GONNA HATE. PLAYERS GONNA PLAY. DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU’VE BEEN PLAYED?
“Few emotions are worse than the feeling of overwhelming frustration, loss, embarrassment and anger which follows the revelation that you have been lied to, cheated, manipulated and used. Haters are generally pretty straight forward about hate. A player will lie to your face and laugh about it later.” J Loren Norris GIVE ME AN HONEST HATER
Personally, I prefer an honest hater over a lying player any day. At least a hater with integrity is clear on where you stand with them. You know you can’t win them over. You know they won’t support your success and they will do all they can to derail you. You know their motives and intentions upfront. It still sucks to have haters, especially if you are a natural born people pleaser. Having haters is a special kind of personal and internal torture.
There is no way to please a hater, no way to make them happy, no way to get them on your side. But hey, at least you know that and you can choose to simply move on with your life. After all, chances are, the reason they hate you has nothing to do with something you have the ability to change. Chances are also high, that the reason they hate you is based on something you are unwilling to change. It might be your firmly held core values, it might be your gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Being hated for things you cannot or will not change is unpleasant ground to stand on, but at least you know where you stand.
PLAYERS CHANGE THE GAME
Players know when you are a natural born people pleaser. Chances are, that’s why they chose you. They know you live for making people happy and you will sacrifice much of your own contentedness, peace and CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST AND WATCH THE VIDEO

EVEN IN PRINT THERE IS A CONTROLLED BIAS
Consider the twin truths just expressed:
Getting Published is Hard There Is Always More To The Story These two realities imply an underlying potentially for insidious behavior. It is one of the implications of “institutional racism”. Whoever holds the key to the publishing world, ie music world, media world, education world, controls the stories which are told. This does not always mean bias or discrimination is present, but it sure makes it possible and even highly likely.
THE TRAP OF GOOD NEWS
The good news is this. Today, anyone with an idea, opinion or story to tell has access to share their stories. The internet and social media are accessible even in controlled areas such as Cuba, Russia, and Venezuela. The most depressed places on earth like the Congo have cell phone stores and millions of users on social media. If you have an idea, you have a voice.
An opinion shared on social media, a video which goes viral can often amass MORE VIEWS IN 24 HOURS than the best selling 100 books have in their lifetime since first print. If you shout loud enough and gain enough attention, it doesn’t matter if your facts are wrong or your opinion is dangerous and unfounded. You have access the publishing world might have denied you.

STORYPOWER MASTER CLASS IS ABOUT EMPOWERMENT TO CHANGE THE WORLD STORYPOWER MASTER CLASS IS ABOUT EMPOWERMENT TO CHANGE THE WORLD
“When you have been trained not only to tell your story but to hear someone else’s story and help them to instantly reframe it, you have been empowered to transform lives. That’s the point of StoryPower Masterclass.” J Loren Norris WHO NEEDS STORYPOWER IN THEIR TOOL BELT?
Anyone who leads, teaches, manages, communicates, by speaking from the stage or in any other way influences others needs to master the tools of StoryPower! The ability to tell a story well may seem like a tool for those who take the mic and take the stage as a professional speaker or motivational speaker. I say NO! This power to inspire, motivate, redirect, encourage and empower is the work of parents and neighbors as well. In many ways, the ability to tell a story is a lost art.
HOW WILL STORYPOWER BECOME A RADICAL SOLUTION?
The passion to tell someone a story in a way that builds others up, honors them, and encourages them is a fading as well. But the skill which really has the power to change the world is the ability to hear someone’s story, identify both the brokenness and the opportunity then reframe their story into a more hope filled and productive story. StoryPower is the craft of hearing a story told from the heart, replacing a few words, thoughts, ideas and even deep seated beliefs which don’t serve us well with a story which looks into the future with a brighter picture. When this re-crafted story becomes the story others tell of themselves, their life will begin to radically change.
WHY SHOULD YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE STORYPOWER MASTERCLASS?
If you have a heart for hurting people, if you have a story of succeeding, a story of overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds, a desire to share your experiences for the purpose of offering direction, motivation, hope and encouragement then StoryPower is a tool you must have in your arsenal. If that describes you, look around you at the number of people who are more likely to simply repeat the narrative they have already been beaten down with and you will quickly realize, we purveyors of hope are significantly outnumbered. The Storypower movement needs you and more people like you, from every walk of life. Learn more at: jlorennorris.com/storypower

THE SOLUTION IS NOT EASY BUT NECESSARY Until we can reverse the process and begin to impact and influence the young minds of boys with a model worthy of following, we will continue to witness an extenuation and exacerbation of this devastation in our homes, in our families, in our cultures and in our streets. If we begin to teach and model civility, social responsibility, human compassion, personal accountability and true leadership when boys are old enough to communicate and emotionally comprehend, we can turn the tide. If we tenaciously demonstrate the reality that being a real man requires loving kindness to all of our neighbors, all of our fellow humans, all of our earth bound sojourners, we can transform all of society in one or two generations.
I am convinced, loving kindness is the one thing which will ultimately stamp out family violence, child abuse, sex trafficking, drug abuse, police brutality, gang wars, and the criminality each of these societal ills produce and reproduce. StoryPower is all about the narrative we need to create, teach and repeat until LOVE is the LANGUAGE of MANHOOD!

What should I do with my life? The first question of leadership.
“I believe this question is likely as old as human consciousness. It drives us to ponder the very purpose, passion and plan for our lives. If we do not consider these things, we are little different than the plants of the field, the animals of the forest, birds of the air and fish of the sea. Our very ability to ponder our purpose sets us apart as a species.” J Loren Norris
There are three questions which I believe support this FIRST question. The more diligently you answer these other three questions, the more clear the answer becomes to the first question.
WHAT AM I GIFTED AT DOING? If I look across the spectrum of things I am capable of, which ones really stand out? What have been awarded for, won trophies for, received accolades or scholarships for? These responses from what those around you have observed in you are strong indicators of your giftedness. Neuroscientist Dr. Caroline Leaf says, “If you do can something which causes others to look at you with awe and wonder how you did it, and you think to yourself, ‘That was simple, I thought everyone could do that.’ That is your gift!” Now master that gift. Become more than naturally gifted in it. Become the BEST IN THE WORLD at that gift.
WHAT DO I LOVE DOING? Not everyone, but almost everyone actually finds both joy and fulfillment in performing the function of their gift. Perhaps because it comes with great levels of attention and amazement. Perhaps because it comes so easily and naturally. Perhaps because they possess a natural bent to do this thing, its like second nature and super simple. If you LOVE TO DO SOMETHING and others like to watch you do it OR would want to have for themselves the results of your having done it, such as a one of a kind piece of art or a souvenir, you should pay close attention to that.
WOULD PEOPLE PAY ME TO DO THAT? If you find, people are willing to pay you to do what you do, or pay to WATCH YOU do what you do or pay you for the final results of WHAT YOU PRODUCE when you do what you do, then you are well on your way to an entrepreneurial career. To become a true professional, make sure you have mastered the craft, offer as much value as you possibly can, offer your services at a fair but competitive price and over deliver on the expectations of the paying audience.
The fastest way to accomplish all three of these is to find someone who is successfully doing what you are gifted at, love to do and can make money at and then follow in their footsteps. Perhaps you can ask them to mentor you. You may have to invest financially in such mentorship or coaching but it’s worth it if they can save you all the time and heartache they experienced on the way to success. In days past we called it apprenticeship, but few people do it the same way today.
If you are not sure where to start, you can make a small investment in the VISION DEVELOPEMENT audio download course from this site and get started planning your future success today.
Enjoy the journey!

WHAT BOOKS SHOULD I READ? MY TOP 3 RECOMMENDATIONS
“I believe it is a forgone conclusion, leaders are readers. If you wish to lead others, lead yourself first and that begins with learning, developing and holding yourself accountable to knew ideas and new ways of doing things.” J Loren Norris WHY PHYSICAL BOOKS?
I have mentioned before the reasons I believe books are a good thing. If you have a good source, you also want it to be a consistent source. In today’s world of digital information, it is far too common to read an article or report only to find it was the first one published as since has been altered, debunked, removed or replaced. Books require such a long preparation cycle and require such significant investment, it is much less likely someone would waste the resources to produce something without proper research and vetting. It does happen, but by the time its available in stores, reviews will usually expose the lies.
WHY THESE THREE?
I have been a diligent student of leadership more than three decades. I have read literally hundreds, maybe thousands of books in that time. 90% of what I read is non fiction, focused on leadership, communication, faith and family. When I consider the books which have reshaped my thinking the most, outside of the Bible, these three are at or near the top. If I had time, and had your attention long enough I would recommend more books, more specifically to your needs. These three are radically transforming, easy to get, well vetted and safe for anyone regardless of education level, age, race, or even religion. GET THEM!!
GET AND READ THESE BOOKS

MILITARY? TRADE SCHOOL OR COLLEGE? WHICH IS BETTER?
I obviously cannot tell you what to do with your life. Nor would I ever, even if I had the “right to do so” because the ability and responsibility to choose is precisely the point of this lesson.
MILITARY I experienced things on active duty, during the first gulf war, which changed the person I am today. Military service was my first real encounter with structure, leadership, authority, and critical decision making. I was just over 20 when I was handed an m-16 and entrusted with the life of thousands of other soldiers as a Fire Crash Rescue Specialist. I was trained and trusted with fire fighting apparatus valued in the millions. The amount of growing up which was expected and the amount of trust extended impacted my personhood and decision making for a lifetime.
TRADE SCHOOL Trade school was where I started after high school. Robotics at ITT Technical Institute was going to be my path and plan. The school was close to home. The training was brief and the jobs after school paid really well. Then a break up with my high school sweetheart crushed my will and redirected my attention and intention to escape. Soon I was off to basic training, then on to travel the world. For many people who know what they want to do for a career and who want to get busy earning sooner, trade schools are a great, affordable solution. Trade schools significantly increase earning power, limit student loan debt and shorten the timeline to starting a job in the field of your greatest interest.
COLLEGE Let’s be honest, many people who go to college immediately after high school, search first for the party school, next for the career track they wish to pursue and finally for the educational or academic excellence they hope to experience. The idea of a college degree is of tremendous value. In certain circles you cannot even be considered for a position without one. When I came out of the military with more than four years of training and service as an active duty fire fighter, many cities still expected a four year college degree. They didn't care if my degree was in baking pastries or banking or politics, but my experience as a fire fighter was not enough without the degree. This is mind boggling to me

WHAT DOES STORYPOWER HAVE IN COMMON WITH MAJOR MEDIA, PUBLIC EDUCATION, POLITICS AND LEADERSHIP IN CORPORATE CULTURE?? WHAT DOES STORYPOWER HAVE IN COMMON WITH MAJOR MEDIA, PUBLIC EDUCATION, POLITICS AND LEADERSHIP IN CORPORATE CULTURE??
“From text books to digital bots, from campaign ads to company policy, our behavior is shaped by our thinking, our thinking is shaped by the narrative and the narrative is shaped by attitudes. Attitudes are what we think about how we feel and how we feel about what we think. If you do not MASTER #storypower in your own life, you will become a slave to someone else’s mastery of it.” J Loren Norris
PUBLIC SCHOOLS (Primary to Graduate School) If you are curious about the veracity of my idea, just find a text book from when you were learning to read in second or third grade. Compare that text to what is being used today and what was being used when your parents or grand parents were being taught to read. You will discover in a few paragraphs how drastic is the change and transformation of society as depicted in those readings. Shaping the ideas, expectations, thoughts and opinions of young people is as old as the human race. The younger they are when exposed to ideas, the more likely they are to accept them as foundational truth, even if the “facts” are not supported by evidence, just theory and opinion. #STORYPOWER - IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NARRATIVE!
MEDIA - MAJOR AND SOCIAL There once was a day when journalism as an industry was a trustworthy watch dog of all things. They were once, in the United States of America considered the 4th State or the 4th branch of government. They were the overseers who would call out wrong, sharing facts and evidence which was well researched and thoroughly vetted to be accurate. They were the heroes of the public and the Achilles heal of corruption. But that was more than a century ago. In my lifetime alone, the work of journalism has been co-opted and commandeered by various nefarious organizations who through financial pressure or threat of harm manipulate and control what is filmed, written, said and reported. Even stories “reported live” are being edited, cut short, manipulated by camera angle and made to tell a story which isn’t true. Spend 20 minutes on Twitter and you will see proof. #STORYPOWER - IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NARRATIVE!

How do I train people in leadership?
“While there are dozens of methodologies for training and teaching along with hundreds of curriculum for getting information across, leadership is always taught one of two ways: intentionally or unintentionally.” J Loren Norris
As world renown leadership guru Dr. John C Maxwell says, “People do what people see. Its the Law Of The Picture.”
LEADERSHIP UNINTENTIONALLY Sometimes our most profound leadership lessons were the ones which were caught by observation not the ones taught intentionally. When we are vulnerable to the circumstances around us, when we let our guard down, when we react hastily, we are teaching and training leadership just like we would be in a classroom!
LEADERSHIP UNLEARNING Looking at the social implications, actions and reactions to the events of the first quarter of 2020, we have some lessons to learn, some lessons to UNLEARN and some lessons which need to be remodeled. I mean that literally, we need to deconstruct many of our leadership lessons in civility, social expectations and accountability. We need to talk about power, authority, respect, humanity, compassion, influence and impact in a way like we never have before. We need to expand the table and include voices which have hitherto been set aside, ignored or intentionally silenced.
LEADERSHIP INVESTS IN THE PAIN OF CHANGE This world is changing. Some people will be uncomfortable with this change. Others have been waiting too long for this change. Either way, nothing changes until the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change. Leaders must be willing to brace for the change, address the change, see a way through the change and embrace the results of change. Even when, especially when, the change DOES NOT SUIT THEM or serve their own personal interest but serves the BEST INTEREST of the common good of the community and ultimately of all mankind.
So, how do I train people in leadership you ask? Intentionally or unintentionally. Its your choice, but it’s unavoidable and you will be held accountable. Choose wisely!

ZUMBO JUST DESSERTS PROVES IT. STORYPOWER IS AN INSIDE JOB!
”It’s nothing new under the sun. We have heard it all our lives. “If you can’t say something nice, then say nothing at all.” For the most part, decent people try to hold their tongues when the urge to say something hurtful, cruel, demeaning and destructive wells up inside them... EXCEPT WHEN THEY ARE TALKING TO THEMSELVES! That’s why StoryPower is an inside job.” J Loren Norris
STORYPOWER IS AN INSIDE JOB The encouragement we tend to offer others seems to be missing many times in our internal conversations. I know this for certain, I am my own five decade case study. For as long as I have been able to think, reason and talk, I have vacillated back and forth between verbose pride and self destructive self-talk. I have been halted in relationships by arrogance and an overblown ego and I have struggled with self hatred and low self esteem. I am sure no one else has experienced this journey... RIGHT??
STORYPOWER IS A LEADERSHIP TOOL The number of times I have encountered people in leadership roles, parenting roles and other positions of management or influence who are careless about how they speak to and about those they lead is truly mind boggling. I have witnessed parents, teachers, managers, even ministry and government leaders belittle those who are counting on them. From name calling to public humiliation it seems as if they believe the more they can crush the will of those they lead, the more power they have to exert. Nothing could be further from the truth! If leadership is about influence, then the positive influence which builds trust and safety goes a long way in the direction of loyalty, service and sacrifice. Words, stories, illustrations and examples which encourage, empower and embolden your team members will expand your influence and strengthen your team. In fact, IF THE STORY YOU TELL to make a point involves your team, IT BETTER BE POSITIVE!
STORYPOWER IS A COMMUNICATION TOOL The most common request I receive as a Public Speaking Coach is “help me write the speech that sells!” Ironically, this is an alarm bell in my mind. Immediately our relationship has shifted. Because I know the previous two points to be profoundly true and profoundly critical in the survival of the species, I am hesitant and proceed with caution. I also know that training someone to utilize the power of story selection, story crafting and storytelling when they are still dealing with unbridled ego and emotional wounds is tantamount to handing a sharpened broad sword to an angry five year old and expecting no negative consequences.
Public speaking, leadership and influence all go hand in hand. The marketer who promises to “make you famous”, “get you on stages”, or “create your celebrity brand” without concern for the condition, maturity, responsibility and mental well being of the speaker they are selling a program to simply doesn’t grasp the gravity of the situation. In my opinion, they are sales mercenaries. They will TAKE ANYONE’S MONEY. Many are fine with a “money back guarantee” because by the time the person realizes
A. It didn’t work for them or B. It has done irreversible damage to their reputation - the guarantee

RACISM VS ANTI-RACISM? ARE THESE THE ONLY OPTIONS?
“Rallying around the concept of antiracism is more about doing than it is about being, Kendi says. “No one becomes racist or antiracist,” he adds. “It’s not who you are; it’s what you’re doing at the moment. That’s why so many refuse to accept being called racist—because they think it’s a fixed conception. But it’s not fixed: humans are deeply complex and contradictory. We have the capacity to change—and to be antiracist.” Quote Credit
STORYPOWER AND RACISM I am not a Dubois Scholar as is Dr. Kendi. Nor am I as educated as Dr. Brene’ Brown in the study of human psychology. I am simple a student of humans, leadership, communication and the stories people tell.
I am fascinated by the reality of human expression which allows five people to witness the same event, at the same time, from similar visual angles and yet describe the event entirely different in the retelling of the story. In recent years a buzz word phrase has arisen and has become well known as “confirmation bias.”
CONFIRMATION BIAS IN ACTION This phenomenon of the human brain means we tend to SEE IN AN EVENT what we believed to be true already. We HEAR IN A STORY what we thought before we heard the story told. We IGNORE FACTS AND OPINIONS which do not align with our deeply held beliefs, even when what we PREVIOUSLY BELIEVED CAN BE PROVED FALSE, wrong, detrimental or destructive.
What we believe about racism falls deeply into this rut of thinking and emotionally reacting. The level of understanding versus the deep indoctrination we have experienced is so contradicting and controversially positioned, the truth so emotionally charged, the expression of confusion so shrouded, the conversation becomes near impossible.
SLEDGE HAMMER OF ABUSE The result, like religion, politics and which direction the toilet paper should be placed on the roll, racism becomes the fodder of yelling matches, hatred, vitriol and combative discourse. Racism becomes the ammunition of political propaganda, the sledge hammer of systemic abuse, the crowbar of revenge and the stain of a society struggling to fight of the injustices of centuries of human history.
AN AMERICA ONLY ISSUE? To consider racism an American problem is an appallingly painful reality which cannot be denied. To consider racism of American origin, American exclusivity, or solely as a white versus all others is simply ignorance of the facts. Perhaps Influenced by a tinge of confirmation bias or the vitriolic rhetoric of those who need people to be at odds in order to promote their own agenda.
“Leadership is influence, nothing more and nothing less.” John C Maxwell

AM I SPECIAL? UNIQUE? WORTHWHILE?
“Most people have asked this question in one form or another. Maybe it was about their branding, maybe it was about being a sibling, a twin or an entrepreneur in a very crowded space. The real question is less about BRANDING and more about IDENTITY, less about your UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION, more about your UNIQUE HUMAN CONNECTIONS.” J Loren Norris
AM I SPECIAL? This first element of the question has really fought a tough battle in the past generation or two. Modern, especially western culture has worked SO VERY HARD to make sure that everyone feels special, they have nearly removed the lines of being special. Everyone gets a trophy, a ribbon and the accolades of being winners, even if they made no effort whatsoever. But more dangerously IMHO, the work of division, separation and false distinctions in an effort to make sure everyone FEELS SPECIAL has done great damage to the concept of true identity. There is an odd dichotomy which constantly cries out, “I am special and unique just like THIS GROUP of also self declared unique and special people.” We want to be special, but not to the extent of being the only one who is that kind of special, then we are alone, a freak, an outcast. We want to be special, just not THAT special.
AM I UNIQUE? The next part of this question is often expressed as individuals really push the envelope in modern culture. From hair colors, to tattoos, body piercings, flamboyant clothing styles, audacious automobiles and over the top party til you drop lifestyles all captured for the world to see on Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and TikTok - the social media place to yell LOOK AT ME. The effort exerted by some people to stand out, become and maintain their place at the center of attention, to always cause the lights and the cameras to be intently focused on them, knows no limit. In case you will not answer the question for them, they will certainly, narcissistically, answer for you “LOOK HOW UNIQUE I AM!”
AM I WORTHWHILE? Let me throw on the emotional and relational EMERGENCY BRAKE at this point. When this question reaches the level of intensity where it takes on this formation of thought, self injury becomes a concern. Its one thing, an important thing, a growing up and finding my place in this world thing to ask AM I SPECIAL? and if so how? And what does that mean for the direction of my life? Am I worthwhile seems to be the same, but I feel it is a turning point into a very dark space. Questioning my unique attributes as an offering to the world is a powerful journey of discovery. Questioning whether or not I matter, whether I have value, whether I am worthwhile, that’s the beginning of a crisis unfolding. In my way distant past I contemplated suicide and I remember with chills the thoughts such as “no one will miss me”, “no one will even notice I am gone.”
Leaders, parents, teachers, if you are mentoring, coaching or training someone in their personal growth and development and you encounter the first two elements of this series of questions, celebrate with them, they are on a path to awareness which will revolutionize their life and legacy. If however, they devolve into the questions of worthwhile, worthy of living, value as a human, unless you are trained in suicidal intervention, it is time to seek a hand off. DO NOT ABANDON them, love them and call for back up. EVERY LIFE MATTERS.

HOW DO I INCREASE MY NUMBER OF FRIENDS, FOLLOWERS, TRIBE, INFLUENCE?
The more we mature, the more we would expect our questions and concerns to follow suit. Unfortunately, we find the questions are the same. Today they were in the elementary cafeteria, they are simply vocalized differently.
What we asked then was, how do get more friends, better friends, truer friends, more reliable friends. Today that question takes on the tone of social media and digital marketing. How can I increase my number of friends (followers), get more likes (increase the level of engagement), get them to stay my friend (grow brand loyalty), to become BFF’s (build reliable customer retention)?
EXPAND YOUR UNIVERSE
If you want to have more friends, BECOME A FRIEND to more people! That means you will need to reach out, meet new people, offer yourself to serve strangers, take a risk that they won’t like you. Be a friend To as many people as you can anyway. Not just a “social media friend” but become a real friend with all the qualities you seek.
ENGAGE LIKE A REAL FRIEND
If you want people to buy from you, buy from them. If you want people to tell others about your business along with the products and services you offer, tell the world about theirs FIRST. If you want people to choose you over other people who offer the same or similar products and services, CHOOSE THEM FIRST. This is how friendships work.
BUILD ON A GOOD THING
Only a fool is loyal to someone who mistreats them or takes advantage of them repeatedly. BRAND LOYALTY and BFFs are cut from the same cloth. The KIND OF PERSON you are, if consistent with the quality of product or service you offer, will gain you much grace and patience when (not if) you make a mistake. If you have been rude, curt, impatient with a friend or customer, the likelihood they will tolerate mistakes is slim. Their tolerance for carelessness has already been spread thin by you.
BECOME THE PERSON PEOPLE WANT AS A FRIEND
If you are always going above and beyond what is expected or required and doing so with kindness and good intent, you will have much equity to bank on in your exchange. Loyalty to you as a person will always precede loyalty to you product or brand. If you are love able, more likely you will be beloved. If you are hard to handle, people will move along.
“Leaders will only grow in influence when they learn to be an engaging, loyal, reliable friend who promotes the interest of others over themself.“ J Loren Norris LEADING LEADERS PODCAST with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons promoting faith, family and freedom for Tell It Like It Is TV .

WHAT IF I REALLY SCREW UP? WILL YOU STILL...
“Loyalty, patience, grace, understanding these are all human connections in limited supply. The fear of lost relationships, lost careers, lost opportunities and lost reputation have always been a deterrent to abhorant behavior, but even more today than ever before the threat of lost love has taken hold and drives men and women alike into an anxious state of panic and depression. “ J Loren Norris

DOES ANYONE CARE IF THIS EPISODE IS LIVE ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
“What is the saturation point of attention? When is too much LIVE, too much to care about? Will social media reach the point of “din” rather than a prominant voice? Will there become a time that so many voices clambering to be heard will become irrelevant background noise? What is the tipping point of online marketing? When everyone is standing on the same “stump” and yelling for attention, will they all be “crying wolf” in unison?” J Loren Norris
For right at five years I have presented a LIVE Leadership Lesson EVERY MORNING at 6:30 am. Some times called Tell It Like It Is TV, sometimes called #LeadingLeadersPodcast, but always live and always focused on leadership. Some episodes were 30-45 minutes each and part of a 4, 5, 9 or even 13 part series of lessons with a specific topic. Many of those lessons are available if you scroll through 700 plus videos on my YouTube Channel or the Tell It Like It Is TV Face Book Fan Page. Or you can visit the RESOURCES tab on this page to find them and access them as a member.
My real question for you is this: How long will it remain relevant to YOU whether it not this lesson comes to you LIVE and FREE everyday versus accessible only via a paid membership?
For the foreseeable future, I will continue to offer the 5 Minute Lessons, 5 Days a Week FREE of charge (Maybe or maybe not as LIVE on social media so SUBSCRIBE HERE or on your favorite platform) - the longer, more in depth trainings will be available via paid membership.
I would also love to have your feedback on what’s important to YOU about the lessons provided here.
Should I keep doing a daily LIVE on SOCIAL MEDIA presentation? What’s missing? What could be better? Do you appreciate the shorter lessons? Would you prefer more in-depth presentations on a particular topic?

HOW DO I GET A REAL JOB?
In the shadow of Y2K and the dot com bust many people were left jobless and near hopeless. In his block buster and economy rattling book Brand You 50, Tom Peters said - “Don’t worry about job security, its a myth. Instead focus on employment security.”
I have to say, two decades later, his words are still resonating with incredible truth and resilience.
If you have spent all your time and educational investment to become a valuable and needed employee, you may still find yourself in the same place as those who have not. Loyalty from company to employee may not be extinct but it is certainly rare. The number, caliber and class of people who are truly indispensable in dwindling fast. While entrepreneurs and soloprenuers are on the rise in every sector. Work at home and work for self are not yet synonymous but may soon be.
Companies like 123Employee.com have made the need for housing a large staff for administrative tasks unnecessary. The speed of the internet and near global access to market places and potential clients has reshaped the world of sales and distribution. Amazon competes with almost every type, size and genre of business in every country. The result is a great divide. For a new company to thrive and be poised to hire they must be either massive and agile in global scale or hyper local.
If you want to GET A REAL JOB, you may want to focus on W-2 styled employment, meaning hired by someone else to build their dream, line their pockets, fill their bank account, And enhance their vacations in exchange for the perceived security of a regular paycheck. If that is the case, I recommend you take some assessments to determine your greatest skill sets, talents, abilities, acumen and best educational direction. Mike McCormack can help you with that. You can connect with Mike here: https://peoplerightcareers.com/
If you instead choose to BE YOUR OWN BOSS, start your own thing, build your own 21st century lemonade stand, the best $97 you could invest in your education will be RIGHT HERE. I have been to and through hundreds if not thousands of hours of seminars, classes, trainings, webinars and mentoring relationships, but this particular course CHALLENGES ME like nothing else. Every time I go through the course, I am a different level. Every time I sit through the strategy calls, I hear something I missed last time. Every time I accept the challenge to DO SOMETHING I HAVEN'T TRIED, I discover a secret I have been stepping over.
If you want to learn the process to CONVERT YOUR LIFE JOURNEY into a MENTORship course that will become a tool for helping others and earning a respectable income along the way GO HERE.?

AM I A FAILUE IF I FAIL?
“Failure is an event or an incident, not an identity! Too often we allow our mistakes, bad choices, short comings and unpleasant experiences to become our motivating factors and driving forces. When we do this, we allow them to shape not just what we’ve done, but who we are. Success is not defined by what we gain, but by who we become along the way. We must never allow these short comings to become our identity.” J Loren Norris We need to address our failures in order to take corrective action and prevent them in the future, then move on from them secure in our own ability and confidence.
ADDRESS FAILURE
If failure repeats itself, there is a lesson we have not yet learned. We must be willing to be honest about our failure. We must be willing to accept fault rather than casting blame. Even if the majority of the failure was outside our control, we must ask, “Is there anything I could have done differently which would have produced a different outcome?”
TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION
If there is any part of the problem, incident, event, for which we can take responsibility, then we also have authority to change that part. We need to be proactive in finding a new way to deal with the part of the problem we initiated. We need to consider all the alternative actions which could have been taken and we need to make note of all options should a similar circumstance arise again.
PREVENT THE SAME FAILURE IN THE FUTURE
If we have taken the time to diligently reflect and review the moment of failure, we should have all we need to recognize when a similar issue is on the horizon. When failure seems to be coming into view, it is a good time to take preemptive measures by asking ourselves, “What role did I play in the issue last time? How could I alter my approach and actions before this starts? What do I need to do differently even if no one else changes their approach?”
MOVE ON WITH CONFIDENCE
Having addressed the reality of the failure or loss by reflecting on all the details within your control and taken action to prevent recreating the same circumstance, you have done everything in your power to prevent failure from reoccurring. You can move forward with the confidence that you are NOT THE SOURCE of the failure and failure is not your identity. Rather, you are part of the solution and because you are becoming a better you in the process, SUCCESS IS ON ITS WAY TO YOU.

IS CHIVALRY DEAD? WHY SHOULD I USE IT? by J Loren Norris
If chivalry means manipulation, dominating, abusing, taking advantage of others, then it should be “dead”. If the meaning of chivalry is exercising curtesy and politeness and friendliness with nothing to gain but becoming a better human - LONG LIVE CHIVALRY!
Many people were victimized by “old world ideas” of the dark ages such as the inquisition, human torture, barbarism, Attila the Hun, the burning of people at the stake and so on. As a result, many people look back on the era “before enlightenment” with grimacing horror. Certainly NOTHING GOOD can come from those days.
Consider the number of children who have been put to death before their first breath, the number of women and children who have been objectified and filmed in compromising positions for the entertainment of others, the insanely vast numbers of humans sold into sex slavery and trafficked the world around, the depth and magnitude of division based on sexism, racism and religious differences. ‘Enlightenment“ hasn't proved much kinder to humans in history than the dark ages.
WHY?
Because humans are selfish. Because humans want what’s best for themselves (even if it means giving as a manipulative tool to get it). Because humans are mean to each other, its in our nature.
HOWEVER, we can choose to be creative, compassionate, caring and kind. We can CHOOSE to live by a code which focuses on honor, the value of a human life, the depth of the soul and the equal appreciation of all things which LIVE in our universe. So, if not a morality based code of honor, sacrifice and service such as chivalry, what would you recommend?
Seriously, I want to hear your suggestions...

What is a real friend?
“Followers, frenemies and fake friends abound, but a real friend is the one who will tell you when you screw up royally, and still be your friend.” J Loren Norris If you want to have friends, be a friend. That saying is as old and reliably true as the proverbial “golden rule.” No amount of manipulation, arm twisting or bribery will garner your real friends. Sure, you can pay Fiverr to grow your Twitter followers, you can buy ads in Facebook, Google, Instagram and TikTok to increase the level of exposure and get more people to “like you” or at least to like what you share with the public. But if you want REAL FRIENDS, you will need a new strategy!
FIRST - Be sincere, authentic and trustworthy
If you want people around you who you can trust to tell you the truth about yourself and still love you in all your strange ways, you have to first become that kind of person. Are you safe to share secrets with? Do you hold people’s deepest darkest fears as a tool to use against them, or do you guard them like a precious jewel? Are you honest, open and humble about your own inner struggles, or do you just milk everyone else so you’ll have more ammo to seek revenge with later?
SECOND - Choose wisely who you trust in your inner circle
Not everyone you meet can be trusted with your hurts, fears, anxieties and past. There will be POSERS who act and speak as though they care about you. They will make an obvious effort to “get close to you.” They might even start talking trash about others, to have you all to themselves. They will lie, manipulate and start trouble between your other friends and then pretend to be the only one you can trust. A very painful lesson I learned as a teenager about relationships: “If they will lie to you about someone else, they are lying to someone else about you.” A scorpion stings. Its what they do. Its in their nature.
THIRD (but not final) - All friendships are seasonal, know the seasons,
Like the changing of seasons as the Earth travels around the sun, every friendship is seasonal. Some seasons are longer than others. Some seasons bring storms, some bring flowers. Every season has positive and negative attributes. Every season is different not only from the other seasons, but from the last season just like this one. Summer is generally hot in Texas, some summers are egg on the sidewalk hot and some are my skin is melting hot. But it has NEVER SNOWED IN TEXAS IN THE SUMMER - seasons vary, but they are very predictable. Friendships are the same. They will ebb and flow as time goes on. Some will vanish like the snow, some will linger like the cloudy days in London or Seattle. Some will be predictable as the summer sun, spring rain, leaves of fall. Some will be like an unexpected tornado. Knowing the warning signs of change will prevent lots of pain and loss. Knowing what is predictable and being prepared for it will pay huge dividends. I never pack a Parka when i travel to the Congo or Brazil or Cuba... I always take a jacket when I travel to Colorado, at anytime of the year.
BE A FRIEND CHOOSE WISELY EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

How important is work ethic? There are really three schools of thought on the question of work ethic.
School #1 Work Ethic is KING or QUEEN This school of thought basically extols work ethic, grind, hustle, persistence, hard work or even grit as the primary driver and indicator of success. The majority of people who hold this view are hard working, blue color (and some white color), “self made” Superstars. Many are soldiers, entrepreneurs and self employed. They may not own or operate a huge corporate structure, but what they have, they built from the ground up through blood, sweat, tears, and significant personal sacrifice.
School #2 Work Ethic is a thing of the past Many people who have grown up in the mostly digital age, have seen “overnight successes”, YouTube millionaires, Instagram Celebrities, Social Media influencers and Professional Gamers who are global sensations and incredibly wealthy at an early age with limited education or life experience. Several are still young enough to live at home, they bear no expenses for living and spend their earnings extravagantly. The other end of this same school of thought are the millions who believe “everything should be free.” Free healthcare for all, free college for all, advanced degrees, rent, student loans and more, someone else should be responsible to pay for that, after all, “I didn’t ask to be born.”
School #3 Work Ethic Doesn’t Always look like work Manual labor versus executive leadership has always been a noticeable divide. While some in the management realm are leaders because they were handed the reigns due to bloodline alone, it is not always the case. Many who now sit at the helm started off at the bottom. They applied work ethic, grind, hustle, persistence, hard work and grit as the primary driver to their success. They also reached a point where they understood their greater contribution was in the THINKING areas of strategy, tactics, negotiations, idea generation and leadership. They are not opposed to hard work or manual labor, they simply understand the need for both hard labor and laborious thinking. They likely realize certain among them are better suited for one style of hard work over the other.
“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.” Henry Ford
Wherever you land on the spectrum of these various schools of thought, know this for certain, the greater your willingness to work hard, to invest in yourself and others, to dig in with grit and personal sacrifice, the greater are your chances for success, liberty, freedom and independence. THAT IS A GLOBAL AND UNIVERSAL TRUTH and any government structure which prevents, discourages, deters or disincentivizes such choice of behavior is corrupt at best and committed to enslaving people for political power at worst.

Why should I journal? What’s the point?
More than thirty years ago I began to journal. Some of the things written down are personal thoughts I needed to process and Have zero value to be revealed. Most of the things written down were ideas, notions or concepts which stretched my mind. Inventions and perspectives which challenged me and the people around me at the time.
Some of those ideas were laughable when I wrote them down, today they are real, in action and commercially viable. Some of the captured notions were warnings to my heart about people and relationships which were risky or ill advised. Some of the scribblings and ramblings were highlights from great conversations, truthful revelations and personal discoveries. Some of these ideas expressed themselves as poetry, short stories and prose. Some were simply fragments of awareness, a glimpse into something which would take years or decades to truly comprehend.
Looking back on all of these writings now brings up some deeper reflection. The maturity in some areas and blindness in others motivates me to crave more awareness, understanding and application.
None of these mental exercises are unique to me. All of these thoughtful encounters are the course of human nature. The real difference lies in the keeping record of these notions and considering them from time to time asking, “Where do they fit NOW?”
Many scientists will tell you the human mind never really forgets anything. The ability to recall the details, emotions and value of an idea or event requires keeping detailed notes and intentional reflection. That’s why everyone should journal.

WATCH HOW A YOUNG MAN TREATS HIS MOTHER...
In a matter of minutes you will have a pretty good grip on his ability to honor others even if he disagrees, his patience with being given directions, his grace and respect for the opposite sex and his empathetic compassion for people in general.
Of course, he could be acting just to curry favor. He could be putting on a show just to impress an observer, but of all the people to fool, TRY FOOLING your mom!!
If you see a young man, 5-30 years of age, who is kind, polite, respectful and protective of his mother, chances are he is a man with a great heart. AND IF HE IS FAKING IT just for the moment, MOM will call him on it. It will usually sound like, “Who are you trying to impress?” Or “What do you want now? You’re not normally this nice.”
Those are red flags! If mom calls him out for “pretending to be a good heart person” chances are YOU’RE GETTING PLAYED. Run!
A fellow leadership coach, who is also a mentor to me, told me when he was a C-Suite Executive, he would take potential new hires for a game of golf... even though he doesn’t play well. This time on the course would reveal unintentional weak spots in graciousness, patience, integrity, taking responsibility and many other attributes. It is a place where people tend to let their guard down and feel comfortable.
If you could get a few hours with a young man and his mother, you would learn a DECADES worth of social insights worth millions of dollars in background investigations. If you’re considering dating or marrying him rather than hiring him, this time invested in meeting and getting to know them together could save you years of heartache and thousands of dollars or more or it could reveal the heart of gold you are looking for.
YOUNG MEN - you have been outed. Everyone is now watching how you treat your mother - so WATCH HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER if you are still privileged to have her in your life.

Who needs a mentor? What is the Value Of A Mentor? Who Needs A Mentor?
Only a fool believes they know all there is to know. Everyone else realizes there are gaps in some area of their knowledge, wisdom, education, or experience in life. Because this is true, on the fool says, “I need no mentor!”
Here are three things you should consider where seeking a mentor, IMHO.
- Do they have the knowledge or experience you lack?
This could be a teenager with a great grasp of newer technologies or a grandparent with a deep understanding of running a successful business. This could be a parent or neighbor with great insights to navigating complicated relationships. This could be a coach who is focused on a specific skill set mastery with you.
- Are they willing to share what they know with you?
This can be a trickier question than it seems on the surface. Many cunning and coy leaders will pretend to mentor you because they enjoy the attention and “following” all the while, they are secretly pumping you for information in areas they are blind or weak. This is especially true in industries where tightly guarded secrets have given one family or one business a significant advantage over a long period of time. They really want to know what you already know more than they want to let a secret slip.
- Do they truly have your best interest at heart?
Similar to the last question, there are many “so called mentors” who really have not mastered the lessons needed to pass on to the next wave of warriors. They really desire to mentor because the of the ego boost it offers them. They are NOT deeply concerned with your success, well being or promotion. They want the opportunity to say “LOOK WHO I MENTORED.”
At some point you will need to contend with their claim to your success. IF THEY HAVE been a great mentor and contributor to your growth, GIVE THEM THE HONOR AND CREDIT for that. If they have not, be prepared to be gracious and let them have the tiny sparkles they steal from you.
In the end, NO ONE wants to mentor the ungrateful. Don’t be that mentee.
If you are looking for a mentor now, I would be honored to be considered. Visit the coaching page and see if we might be a fit.

WHY SHOULD I READ BOOKS? WHY SHOULD I READ? SHORT ANSWER: ‘ Cause you don’t wanna be a DUMMY! LONG ANSWER: Reading enlightens, informs, prepares, educates and empowers people. NOT JUST WHITE PEOPLE, but all people, BROWN PEOPLE, BLACK PEOPLE, ASIAN PEOPLE, ANY PEOPLE. If you are capable of reading and desire to be no ones fool READ BOOKS! As many as you can! If you are not capable of reading, lay down your pride and ask someone to teach you. If you have some other reason beside illiteracy, ask some to READ TO YOU - then two people get smarter. Ignorance and limited access to knowledge have both been tools of control for centuries of human history. The more you know, the less likely you are to be misled, manipulated or enslaved. WHY BOOKS: Digital data is faster to market than a book, accessed my billions globally and available cheaply. Digital data is also SIGNIFICANTLY MORE susceptible to manipulation, inaccuracies and propaganda. Books take too much time and money to reprint - replacing them is time consuming and doesn’t go unnoticed. Changing the textbooks in schools requires significant oversight, manipulation of a video can be done my a student hacker or a nefarious force with no one knowing it happened. Have you seen the video where the parents voice concerns about ads they show up on their TABLET while their elementary aged daughter is playing video games? The “spy ad” is targeting her specifically using the camera on the tablet - different ads appear for anyone else playing the same game on the same tablet. BOOKS DON’T DO THAT!! BE INFORMED OR BE ENSLAVED - its your choice. — OH and a good novel can be very entertaining, enjoyable and relaxing too.

DRAGGING THE PAST FORWARD WILL NOT SPEED YOU TO THE FUTURE by J Loren Norris
THERE IS AN ALBATROSS TO SUCCESS WHICH MOST UNSUCCESSFUL PEOPLE PERCEIVE AS THEIR KEY TO OPPORTUNITY.
Like that extension cord caught on everything in the shed, there are elements of your past which will follow you destructively into your future if you do not consciously decide to disentangle them. J Loren Norris Many people have been convinced that their best opportunity for a future filled with wealth is revenge on someone from their past. Whether it be a lawsuit, an inheritance, a payback or some other form of recompense.
The truth is, seeking either mental/ emotional or financial revenge carries a much stiffer penalty than reward. What it costs in terms of stress, emotional burden, lost hope, perpetual anxiety, internal attacks on self worth and self confidence will often take a greater toll on the ability to earn than the revenge would pay out. (REMEMBER TRUE SUCCESS IS ABOUT WHO YOU BECOME NOT WHAT YOU GAIN)
Most people who WORK HARD for their money, operate with sense of justice as they should. They believe, “If I do right, right will be done TO me.” And it should be that way. But it is not always true.
Sometimes bad guys do win. Some times cheaters do get ahead. Some times injustice prevails. Sometimes corruption is not easily overcome.
But if we’re going to succeed, we need to understand human nature is imperfect and we cannot force change on other people. SO - to move FORWARD TO SUCCESS we must be willing to forgive and forget.
Forgiveness a choice. Its a hard choice. Its an unpopular choice. Its an inconvenient choice. But dragging your past will slow or prevent your ARRIVING IN YOUR FUTURE. To accelerate your success, you must forgive, especially if the offender is YOU!

SUCCESS IS NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU GAIN BUT ABOUT WHO YOU BECOME ALONG THE WAY.
Most of my life I have struggled with the word SUCCESS. I have fought through seasons of living on food stamps and potato soup. I have also held jobs with near six figure salaries and unlimited income potential.
I grew up hearing “the rich get richer and the poor go broke and its the rich peoples fault.” I have longed for and even purchased a “new car” so new it was before the new year began (more than once).
I have witnessed people with no money to speak of, who are loving, faithful and loyal to their friends, their family and even their job. I have witnessed people who are overcome by a poverty mentality who hate everyone and blame everyone else for their bank balance without taking responsibility for their own laziness.
I have dear friends with great accomplishments, massive wealth and huge notoriety who are gracious, giving and charitable. I have been close to people who have more wealth than can be spent in a lifetime, but their marriages have ended in disaster, sometimes more than once. Their children love them for what they give them and their happiness is as fleeting as the morning mist.
Some say money won’t make you happy. Some say the things money will buy and the things you can do with money, will make you happy. Some say money is the root of all evil. Some say it is the LOVE of money which is the root of all evil. Some people use people because they love money. Some people use money to love on people. In the end, when we all leave this planet for good, MONEY WILL NOT travel with us. The character, the legacy, the reputation of our BEING will be all that travels and what stays behind. Be a person worth remembering. LEAVE GREAT MEMORIES! That is the true measure of success.

DON’T BE FOOLED - MATURITY DOES NOT COME WITH AGE by J Loren Norris
THIS MORNING MY ADULT SON ASKED ME: “WHY DO SOME PEOPLE IN THEIR 30s STILL LIVE IN ‘TEENAGED DRAMA’?”
What is it about DRAMA at any age that attracts people? Why do some people seem so inclined to DRAMA, they will create it when there is none? Why do some people seem to thrive in DRAMA laced situations, circumstances and even relationships? In the video I mention the ideas my son expressed as possible reasons. There my be some truth in them. Additionally, however, let me add a few thoughts of my own experience and research.
Many people, leaders and otherwise are still struggling with their own identity, meaning and purpose in life and the innate desire to be and feel significant.
When your life intersects with someone else and you cannot observe any impact on them whatsoever created by your presence, the emotional sense of inadequacy and obscurity will begin to eat away at your internal confidence level like termites in your hope chest. (I know, I spent a decade or more of my life living there.)
The effect of DRAMA, such as emotionally charged conversations, narcissistically laden behavior and psychological manipulation brings some sense of control and meaning back to the manufacturer of the drama.
How do we know? Because a two or three year old who throws themself on the floor in the grocery isle or screams “you don’t even love me” in order to get their way, is EXERCISING THE SAME TACTICS.
When someone has reached the age of maturity yet continues to exhibit the same emotionally manipulative activity to gain or maintain “relevance “ and control over someone else, they demonstrate a lack of maturity and self awareness.
This is sadly COMMON among leaders, or at least those who SEEK to be leaders. Those who crave power, title, control, influence and yet remain immature in their own issues are a danger to any organization.
They will often seek to acquire titles, accolades, acclaim, even infamy to demonstrate their significance. They will often pursue this recognition OUTSIDE OF THE ORGANIZATION with the hopes that their influence within the organization will be the beneficiary.
If you find yourself prone to drama, stop and ask yourself WHY? Why am I comfortable with this level of emotion and anxiety? Do I seek out relationships which perpetuate this state of being? Do I manufacture drama where there is none? Do I prefer chaos over peace? If you answer any of these questions in the affirmative GET A COACH OR COUNSELLOR NOW before you do irreparable damage to your career, your reputation, yourself or someone you truly care about.

LEADERS MUST DISAGREE AGREEABLY TO GROW INFLUENCE by J Loren Norris CAN YOU DISAGREE AGREEABLE? CAN YOU MAKE A CONSTRUCTIVE COUNTER POINT WITHOUT NAME CALLING? IF NOT, LEADING WILL BE DIFFICULT. “Never argue with an idiot. They’ll simply drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.” Mark Twain There are many ways to get your point across. There are many platforms, mediums and media tools today which did not exist when I began studying and teaching leadership and communication. No one had yet imagined TikTok, Facebook, SnapChat, LinkedIn, et al. In fact, the “Internet” as we know it did not exist when I got out of the military and began my journey. I wrote the first 500 pages of ideas by hand, i still have the journals. The next 500 on a type writer. The next 500 on a computer with no internal memory - then along came word processing and 10TB back up hard drives. I know, its like “walking in the snow to school, uphill, both ways.” However, the ease with which people can communicate, express themselves, vent, discuss, debate and out right argue, GLOBALLY has changed the fervor of dialogue and the magnitude of disagreement. As a leader, at any level, the words we use and choose are significant. The actions, attitude and behavior behind those words are equally impactful. With cameras everywhere, search histories and the “way back machine” accessible to any would be rival, its not just what you think and say TODAY which matters, but everything you have ever thought and then said aloud. If you cannot consider the dignity, value and worth of another HUMAN WITH WHOM YOU DISAGREE, you will find yourself quickly in a shouting match of egos. Someone will record it, broadcast it and put it on repeat. Haters will DOX you and your reputation score along with your INFLUENCE will be toast in a matter of hours. EVEN IF THEY BAITED YOU into the argument... and they will. If you want to LEAD in this world of global access media handled equally by pro’s and wannabes - guard your heart, your words and your actions at all times. OH and BE AUTHENTIC at the same time.

WHAT IT IS VS WHAT YOU CALL IT - DECEIT OR IGNORANCE by J Loren Norris
PERHAPS ITS CODE. PERHAPS IS MANIPULATION. PERHAPS ITS DECEIT. PERHAPS ITS IGNORANCE. So many issues, challenges, disagreements, arguments, divisions and debates are driven by differences in understanding. We call it a communication gap. What if that gap is intentionally being created by the misappropriation of meaning?
Its one thing to “misuse” a word. I have done it. To speak a word in a conversation with a specific meaning in mind only to find out later, that is not what it means. It’s embarrassing!
Its a whole different thing to alter the meaning of a word or phrase for the purpose of changing and transforming world views based on an intentional reshaping of the argument.
If I cannot agree that propaganda is real, then how will you ever convince me the use of it is harmful?
The redefining of THINGS, their labels, their purposes and their meanings is a tactic as old as humanity. The pervasiveness of this tactic has grown exponentially in recent decades due to the popular permeation of tools such as the media employs to communicate. From broadcasting to smart devices, the ability to speak “one to one” with people who are isolated from those who might argue the point has become much simpler. A whispered lie is hard to refute.
As a leadership and communications coach, it is baffling when I sit in on a team meeting or conversation and listen to people discuss, debate or argue a point. Often, both sides are closer to agreement than they realize. The real challenge is semantics or misplaced meanings.
“I heard you say... which tells me...” then emotions and attitudes come into play. The other persons often responds, “How did you get THAT out of what I said? I am offended that you think... by the way you responded.”
As an observer, I see and hear both sides of the conversation. I often understand the communication problem is less about personalities and disagreements and more often about the application level of linguistics (MISAPPROPRIATED MEANINGS).
PERSON ONE used the word... which means... and PERSON TWO took it to mean... and now they’re BOTH mad because they took a meaning from what PERSON ONE DID NOT SAY and that is the root of the argument.
Dr. John Maxwell says something to the effect, Academics take something simple and make it complicated to prove they’re smarter. Communicators take something complicated and explain it in simple ways so everyone is a bit smarter.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. Or practice silence.

YOUR BEST IDEA, YOUR GREATEST THOUGHT, YOUR WILDEST DREAM, YOUR MOST VIVD VISION ARE NOTHING - UNTIL ACTION IS TAKEN!
ARE YOU READY TO ACT?
Its terribly easy to make excuses for allowing your dreams to slip away into the vapor of the morning fog. Its awfully cruel for a simpleton who has no dreams, to dash yours upon the rocks or to mock them into oblivion. Its heart wrenchingly common to experience the dread of inadequacy when a dream is entrusted to you until it is dismissed as an apparition.
If you want to see your dreams become the grand revelation they were meant to be, you must act. If you want your ideas to be heard, elaborated upon, considered by others, you must act. If you want others to see, feel and experience the vividness of your visions as you have, you must act. Dreams not acted on will never live past sunrise.
Thoughts not focused on will die in 37 seconds.
Visions not captured and stretched like taffy will fade at the first distraction.
ACT NOW
Step One CAPTURE
Capture every little detail. Write down or record a video of everything you can remember. Make note of new ideas as you focus your recall on the imagery AND THE EMOTION that came with it.
Step Two COLLABORATION
Share the idea, dream, thought, vision with people you trust. These must be people you would hand a new born baby to, because you are. Ask them questions such as, what else do you see? How do you FEEL about the idea? Would you do anything differently? What would you see as flaws in my idea?
Step Three COMMENCE
There will be both reasons and excuses as to why you cannot begin RIGHT NOW. Sort them out and label them. When you know the difference ask yourself this: If the timing was right, the finances were there, the obstacles erased and there was no way I could possibly fail, HOW WOULD I FEEL and WHAT WOULD I DO NEXT?
THEN DO EXACTLY THAT!
The longer you wait, the dimmer the vision. The more you delay and procrastinate , the more the law of diminishing intent will gobble up your aspirations. ACT NOW!

IF YOU HAD TO CONVINCE ME OF A LIE, HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?
IF YOU NEEDED TO CONVINCE ME THAT BROCCOLI WAS THE BOUNTIFUL, NUTRITIOUS GREEN LEAFY PLANT READILY AVAILABLE IN EVERY LAWN, HOW WOULD YOU DO IT?
There are some ideas which benefit one crowd over another. There are certain ideologies which bear no truth whatsoever, but the fact that people believe them and are willing to invest their time, talent, reputation and wealth to see the world come to accept these ideologies gives them weight and merit - not substance but merit. Not truth, but merit. Not hope or help or benefit for all, but merit. Meaning, as wrong as they are, as false as they are, they must still be acknowledged and countered or confronted.
Perhaps your parents, like mine, would ask the ridiculously rhetorical question: “If EVERYONE or all of your friends jumped off the cliff, would you jump too?”
The problem was simple. Parents, with the benefit of age, wisdom and supposed maturity, PRESUMED that logic would prevail in the answering of the question. These parents SEVERELY underestimated the power of peer pressure or the MOB MENTALITY.
Truth and logic have no merit in mob mentality or peer pressure. The entire concept of thinking is overridden by feeling. If I can make you emotional enough, your reaction won’t allow clear, logical thinking. This psychological FACT is the reason we have laws on the books which define heinous crimes under a special circumstances category of “crimes of passion.”
If you must convince people to act in a certain way, believe a certain thing, carry on a certain idea, the ends will always justify the means. If you have to lie to them, trick them, deceive them, mislead them, seed the crowd with true believers who would risk life and limb for the promulgation of the lie - well, alls fair in love and war. ((Like the journalist who latter admitted his entire story about a particular candidate was 100% made up but said “So what if I have lost my career, at least that %$%#@ isn’t our president.”)))
“If the attitude is right, the facts don’t matter.” “People buy emotionally and rationalize later. (Or justly the logic later)” “Look how you made me feel!” Whip the crowd into a frenzy emotionally, then turn them on your enemy! Its is a manipulation of emotion, a form of hypnotism, the media are masters at this form of persuasion.
Never underestimate the driving force of a long range agenda. Leaders who cannot recognize the short lived lies which are used to direct and redirect long term goals will fall victim to both.

Is it time for an educational revolution?
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO STUDY? WHAT DO YOU ENJOY LEARNING?
When you consider the process of learning, the purpose of education and the structure of teaching, you will realize it has been purposed for the last century with a specific goal. The out put is the focus, not the development of the learner or the expression of the child/ student.
If you were to ask your self or your children WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LEARN? Or WHAT DO YOU ENJOY STUDYING? What sort of education would you craft your curriculum around? How would you teach that content? What delivery would you use to confer that information?
In this season of transition and transformation, how should we reconsider the process, purpose and paths of education? (Educo [latin] - to draw from within). Do we draw from within the talents and gifts of individuals? Do we expose young children to opportunities to become the WHO they were crafted to be? Do we shove them all into the same sausage grinder and expect to measure performance based on outcome only?
Take this time to LEAD THEM THE WAY THEY WERE MADE - don’t make them into something they were not intended to be and called it education.

STORYPOWER IS HOW CHILDHOOD STORIES SHAPE OR SABOTAGE TODAY’S SUCCESS by J Loren Norris
Most people have a slightly different view of their “growing up life” than their parents or even their siblings have of the same time period. This is because we all want to believe the very best about ourselves. We will naturally preserve “self” in the most threatening circumstances, even if that’s in the story of a memorable event.
NEXT LEVEL:
The next level of #storypower truth is this: we carry OUR VIEW of that story forward into life. It becomes a BELIEF SYSTEM around which we make decisions. We decide if someone else is good or bad. We decide if an idea, a culture, a class or race of people, a social structure, an economic policy is GOOD OR BAD based on our own perceptions. These perceptions are often shaped by learning, by lecture, by leaders or by personal experiences. These personal experiences are FILTERED through our beliefs, which started with our CHILDHOOD STORIES. Are you with me so far?
TAINTED CORRUPTED STORIES:
If you “grew up” in an era when racism was common, when bigotry dominated Main Street, when sexism was “how business was done” then the stories you heard about negotiating a deal, closing a sale, getting the big win, WERE ALL TAINTED, skewed and corrupt!!!
LYING STORIES:
]If you “grew up” in a time, place and environment where you were never right, never trusted, never accepted because of your sex, sexual orientation or skin color, your own internal stories are likely corrupt as well. You have been lied to so long you will start to believe the lies, internalize the lies, repeat the lies, tell stories about your childhood which reinforce the lies. IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL, you will live today as if those lies are true.
CHOICE TO CHANGE:
Childhood stories will either SHAPE or SABOTAGE your success! It is time to apply #storypower to those childhood memories and REWRITE each incident to realign the past with the truth, until they reconcile and resonate with your ideal future!

HOW TO SELL AN IDEA IN ONE SIMPLE STEP by J Loren Norris
You can work harder. You can work smarter. Or you can work RIGHT. When it comes to new and grand ideas, helping them spread, take hold and gain traction is NOT A MATTER OF WORKING HARDER.
WORK HARDER:
Many people want to “hold their cards close to the vest” and keep their idea protected. I get it. Intellectual property has a name and a value for a reason. Some of that has to do with the potential harm or good created by the idea when fully developed and activated. Some has to do with the lifetime dollar value of the idea in full fruition. Some of that reasoning is based purely on the vanity of the idea generator. They don’t want to share secrets because they don’t want to share glory so they work VERY HARD on their own until they succeed in spite of themselves or die trying.
WORK SMARTER:
Many people come across a brilliant idea and instantly realize and are willing to admit it is more than they can handle. Perhaps this idea demands more time or resource than they have themselves. Perhaps the idea isn’t yet fully expressed in the first rendition. Perhaps, the power of synergy and likeminded brainstorming will make the idea better. So they recruit help and share bits and pieces of the idea with a few different assorted people. Now they have a team right? Not really. They have a gaggle of people with a stash of puzzle pieces and none of them have the box lid with a picture of the finished puzzle. They all have something to WORK WITH ( a tool means you’re working smarter) but they have no idea what they’re working on or toward. The result is a team of people working hard on a project with little likelihood of full success.
WORK RIGHT:
A few people realize the idea which came to them is NOT ABOUT THEM. It is about the significant impact that idea could have on the world. They see the benefit to humanity, world peace, saving the planet, empowering the underprivileged, creating genuine opportunity and they don’t care who gets the credit, so they leap to action. The burden of need and the fiery passion of the idea collide igniting a wildfire of collaboration, synergy, shared talent, merged resources, exponential growth, rapid expansion and impact far beyond the imagination of the idea generator. THEY ARE WORKING RIGHT - you can’t do it alone. Even if you could WHY WOULD YOU??!!
How do you SELL YOUR IDEA in one SIMPLE STEP? GIVE IT AWAY!!

Apply the ROAR filter if you want to be a voice worth hearing THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VOICES CLAMORING TO BE HEARD. HOW DO YOU INSURE YOURS IS A VOICE WORTH LISTENING TO?
ROAR IS A FILTER WHICH MUST BE APPLIED BY SERIOUS COMMUNICATORS
There are so many people these days who have a phone, a lamp, a microphone, and access to Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram and more... which means they now have A GLOBAL MEDIA PLATFORM.
Like it or not, anyone over the age of 3 who can turn on a cell phone and hit the LIVE button has equal access to share their ideas around the world. This is extremely liberating in one sense and borderline frightening in another. Anyone can SPEAK UP - not everyone should.
We now give the same access to attention and broadcast to a would be uni-bomber as to university professors... To waffle makers as to law makers... to judges as to judgmental loud mouths with ill intent.
Now more than ever before it is harder to verify and source truth. It is harder everyday to separate truth from opinion or covert lies. It becomes paramount for those who take up that position in front of a podcast mic or a LIVE camera to HOLD THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE to the highest standards.
It is also imperative that we be responsible FRIENDS of those who might intentionally or unintentionally spread salacious and inflammatory rhetoric. It is too easy with all the global access to our stream of information to see or hear something which directly fits our own confirmation biases and PROMOTE an idea that is for a malicious source. No matter how badly we want it to be true, perhaps it simply isn’t.
SO HERE’S YOUR FILTER
If you plan to share a post, article, news story or OPINION, before you hit SHARE or before you GO LIVE, ask yourself these four questions:
- Is it RELEVANT?
Will the content I am about to spread be relevant to the people who pay attention to my thoughts and ideas? (Or am I saying it because it makes me feel better?)
- Can I claim OWNERSHIP?
Is the story, the report, the experience something I have lived through myself, witnessed first hand or thoroughly researched? If not, its second hand lions at best. (That was a good movie)
- Do I have AUTHORITY in this area?
Almost everyone has an opinion on almost everything, every thought, every decision. But do you have authority? Are you a quantifiable expert in the field? Will you stake your NAME, your BRAND, your REPUTATION on the accuracy of the information?
- Am I willing to be RESPONSIBLE for how people feel about what I have to say?
In recent years, celebrities especially have voiced loudly their opinions and yet not been willing to stand behind the resulting chaos or fall out. Idle threats made at the top of their voice, accusations which held no merit at all and downright lies meant to get a rise out of a crowd. Sure anyone can RUFFLE FEATHERS - but if you were to be held to answer for how people respond to your words, would you still say it?
RESPONSIBLE also goes to INTENT.
How do you EXPECT, DESIRE or WISH for people to feel when you’re done? Hopeful? Empowered? Enlightened? Or enraged, aggravated and anxious?
Before you GO LIVE ask those questions and follow the advice of THUMPER’S MOTHER - “If you can’t say something nice...

Navigating a crisis will teach you tons about people you lead. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED SO FAR IN THIS CRASH COURSE ON CRISIS NAVIGATION?
Here are a few things I have learned just by observing people through conversations, social media and other interactions:
Personal preconceived biases are real and drive behavior subconsciously. Political affiliations and loyalties drive more decisions than most admit. Whoever signs your check buys your loyalty. Covronavirus does not check your race card, gender identity, sexual preference, age, political party affiliation, bank balance or genealogy at the door - if effects who ever it pleases. Some people turn to deepen their faith in times of crisis. Some lose their faith. Some relocate their faith. Some seek out new ideas, new ways to generate income - a new side hustle. Some demand the government meet their bills for them. Some people are inclined to change their opinions in a crisis. Some people change their loyalties in a crisis. Some people reveal their hidden loyalties in a crisis. Some people hide to wait out the crisis hoping normal returns. Some people “take advantage” of the crisis as an opportunity to gain ground they have not been able to gain previously. WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED???

WHAT IF THE OUTSIDER IS THE ONE TO REINVENTS YOUR INDUSTRY?
AMAZON, iTunes, Netflix NONE OF THESE WERE LEADERS OF THE INDUSTRY THEY NOW DOMINATE.
If you are a leader in your industry look around and ask yourself the question: What industry outsider has proposed ideas which seem to make sense with a few tweaks? Now, look for opportunities to partner with them!
It has been true of almost every major innovation, from Henry Ford and the automobile assembly line, to Ray Crock and the franchise model which shifted the fast food market.
Certain elements will always dominate innovation in any business or industry:
Speed to market. Mastered processes. Refined customer need alignment. Raw goods to final product systemization. Competitive pricing. Market positioning. Ruthless but respectful promotion. However, thinking outside the box and roaming the box altogether offers greater opportunity to growth than simply stretching the existing model.
Try something new. Ask someone who is a thinker and knows nothing of your business. The less they know, the more challenging their questions will be. Chances are, there is some process, system, “way of doing things” which hasn’t been questioned in decades, maybe even generations.
An outsider, like a good coach, can ask you those irritating questions such as “WHY do you still do it that way?”
If you will take the time to consider the answer and look for other ways to do the same thing, you might stumble on the next 2 cent million dollar idea,.

IF THE CRISIS WERE OVER IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS, WILL YOU HAVE INVESTED THE TIME? PASSED THE TIME? OR WASTED THE TIME? Most Americans admire or are envious of the European Holiday. Not just the destinations but the 30 days of respite. 30 days to rest, relax, recoup and rejuvenate. 30 days to do what ever you wish. 30 days to unplug from the daily grind. What an incredible opportunity to step out of the rat race and catch your breath. BUT IF you had that time, what would you do with it? Would you go fishing? Take the family on a camping trip? Visit exotic places you have never been? Volunteer to help someone else? Take care of a loved one who is ill? Encourage those who are struggling? Take a class? Read some good books? Watch several educational videos to deepen your understanding? Stare at the television and fill you mind with mush? Watch the never ending news cycle and feast on fear? Escape into video games? Binge watch reruns by the season? SO MANY OPTIONS!! Only so much time. Like life, this season will be over faster than you expect. For some, not soon enough. For others, long before they are prepared. Trust me when I say, the world as it was January 1, 2020 is no longer ours to be enjoyed or endured. Some relationships, industries, business operations, employment opportunities are gone the way of the horse and buggy. Some new ways of coping are on the horizon. Would be heroes are decimated and new ones will take their place. Take heed now!! Invest the time you have now!! Time is not waiting for anyone and if you are not investing this time to prepare for next, you will find yourself in the shadows of a day gone by wondering where it has gone.

WEEDS GROW STRONGER WHILE THE GRASS IS DORMANT. HOW DO YOU APPLY THIS METAPHOR TO THE PANDEMIC?
Every fall the beautifully manicured lawns of St Augustine grass begin the process of “shutting down for winter.” The grass goes dormant, turns brown, stalls its growth and spreading process in wait for the spring. Meanwhile, all the weeds in the universe seem to migrate to the well watered, healthy soil of the lawn.
Surely, weeds can and will grow anywhere!! They grow in the cracks in the sidewalk, the arid desserts, the middle of the road given half a chance. As you apply this truth to the metaphorical areas of your life, ask yourself questions like this:
“Did anyone teach me to lie and deceive my parents when I was a toddler?” “Do I have to pursue distractions and random useless thoughts, or do they simply appear against my will?” “Are all of my activities and efforts focused with intention on the goals and dreams I have decided on?” “Do I allow boredom to conquer my desire to live a healthy life?” “Do I cultivate, nourish, irrigate, defend and guard my thoughts and activities like I would a lush but delicate lawn?” “Do I allow ‘weed like’ notions, activities and distractions to rule my time, talent, treasure and attention?” While the world of business activity is dormant due to this global pandemic, don’t allow the weeds to take over. Business will resume. Work will be available. Relationships will be reignited. However, JUST LIKE THE DORMANT LAWN they will all be suffering from an infestation of weeds!
Don’t allow the presence of weeds to starve everything you have worked for up to now. Don’t set the grass afire to destroy the weeds. Be prepared to pull the weeds by hand if you must. Get a firm grip and pull them up by the roots!!

STORYPOWER AND PAPER TIGERS:
-
WHY WOULD A STORY TELLER INVOLVE PAPER TIGERS?
-
WHAT IS THE BENEFIT OF A PAPER TIGER?
-
CAN YOU GIVE ME AN ILLUSTRATION OF HOW A COMMUNICATOR MIGHT USE A PAPER TIGER? (Listen to the audio)
Paper tigers are tools for rhetoric, tools for persuasion, tools for control. A good leader or communicator will have more effective, IMHO more ethical tools.
A weak or intentionally misleading communicator or leader relies on the use of paper tigers to “puff up” the veracity and validity of their argument. Action they want or need you to take, behavior they need you to conform to, ideas they need to you carry forward, movements they need you to buy into, all of these are reinforced with a solidly constructed paper tiger.
Like any other ruse, camouflage, misdirection or boogeyman, the more convincing the threat, the greater the harm, the bigger the lie, the more likely the masses will believe it and buy in.
It is a strange psychological phenomenon! That’s what makes a well constructed paper tiger so dangerous. From a distance, it looks real! The light is just right. The sounds are perfectly in tune. The expectations of the threat so well articulated, even if the tiger never moves... WE ALL JUMP with just the right nudge.
THAT’S THE REAL DANGER! ——- OVER REACTION.
When people are so tense with emotion that a sneeze will set them off into an anxiety attack or a panicked mob like response, those triggers are no different than yelling FIRE in a crowded theater. High strung, gullible, misled humans are a dangerous lot. (Add a touch of frequency disruption and you can turn a cluster of chai tea sipping soccer moms into a herd of raging wildebeests.)
STORYPOWER will teach about the paper tiger effect and other tools of rhetorical communication like it. Just remember, as a Leadership and communications coach, I focus on preparing the speaker to be worthy of being heard, long before we prepare a speech worth hearing.

WHAT IS A PAPER TIGER?! WHAT MAKES THEM SO DANGEROUS?!
Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 4-9-20
The danger of the paper tiger is the loss of perspective, the conjured emotions, the manufactured fear, the intentional manipulation and the nefarious activity going just out of view.
The real risk is the danger lurking behind the tiger. Remember the inflatable tanks used during WW2? If not, do some homework! They changed the course of a WORLD WAR!! The ability to mislead, deceive, distract and redirect is a powerful tool for pushing an agenda, waging war and furthering a campaign of any magnitude.
Narcissists use paper tigers better than anyone! But governments and large, uncontrollable entities such as drug cartels, the mafia, big tobacco, big pharma and so on have used the same tactics to bend the will of the people for decades. The difference is, there is a certain level of trust embedded in the media at large which makes the tool of communication a paper tiger on its own - whether knowing co-conspirators of useful idiots, you be the judge.
When politics, money, power, control and long range plans are at stake, we humans are merely pawns in the game. Be vigilant. Be observant. Ask probing questions. Get uncomfortable with the incredible efforts to make you “comfortable.” Don’t be gullible. Be informed. Don’t be fearful. Be bold. Do not trade liberty for security. When you do, you lose both.
And for Heaven’s sake don’t use flame throwers to defeat paper tigers!!!

ARE YOU AWARE? AWARENESS IS THE KEY TO TRANSFORMATION!
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!!” This is a redneck philosophy which carries a ton of basic common sense. The balance against this philosophy is the idea of incremental improvement other wise known as consistent personal growth.
The challenge for the “don’t fix it crowd” is the threat of never improving, growing or addressing the issues which don’t appear broke.
The challenge for the”constant improvement crowd” is the threat of perpetual tweaking and the shiny object syndrome. These practices often lead to constant change but not allowing a process to play itself out and prove or disprove the success of the modification.
There really are cures which are worse than the illness they address. The are paper tiger slayers who are significantly more dangers than the paper tiger!! AWARENESS IS THE KEY to transformation - sometimes awareness is required to PREVENT a transformation which is ultimately undesirable.

STORYPOWER and the RAS - HOW “TIME TRAVEL” IS ACCOMPLISHED EFFECTIVELY. Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 4-7-20
Simply speaking, the RAS is like a filter responsible for what thoughts, memories, and stimulus input your conscious mind actual receives and processes. There are certain events in your life which may choose not to recall because they are too painful. There are other memories you wish you could recall, but the details are too fuzzy or vague. There are other memories which commonly come to mind based on someone’s voice, a sound in traffic, or a specific sight.
When a good storyteller uses properly placed emotive application of sights, and sounds they can invite you into a moment you haven’t considered in decades. They can also allow you to imagine a moment you have not yet experienced with such intense emotion you will have the sense it is a moment relived.
CAUTION: Storytellers who use this approach must be responsible and respectful in this practice because the assumption of reaction can be hurtful.

_______
noun: reticular activating system
a diffuse network of nerve pathways in the brainstem connecting the spinal cord, cerebrum, and cerebellum, and mediating the overall level of consciousness.
What is the main function of the reticular activating system?
The reticular activating system is a short, pencil-sized piece of the brain located just above where the spinal cord is attached to the brain. It acts as the gatekeeper of information between most sensory systems and the conscious mind.

IS #STORYPOWER A TOOL FOR INCEPTION by J Loren Norris
“Your story is not just your story, because life doesn't happen in a vacuum. What you felt is not what everyone felt. Beware the impact your story carries.” J Loren Norris
Use of word pictures presumes and relies on the idea that every hearer of your word picture shares the same emotional engagement with the scene as teller of the story.
Remember, the deer and the hunter lived the same story. They certainly experienced it differently and carried away different emotions... if any at all. The victim and the perpetrator do not tell the same story, from the same encounter.
To presume you are “recreating a moment” where every hearer will experience the same emotions you did when you lived it, is to assume you know the past and present emotional state of everyone who is hearing you.
Beware when telling stories, the emotions you can conjure, evoke or invoke are a powerful tool. They can be used for great good, or great evil. They can be used this way outside the scope of intent, if they are outside the scope o awareness.
Before you take that risk, GET A STORY CRAFTING COACH! You have no idea the damage you can cause to your hearers well being, your effectiveness or your long term reputation.

ECHO CHAMBER? SOUNDING BOARD? BRAIN STORM? MASTERMIND?
It’s pretty amazing how many people express loud, brash, passionate even vehement opinions which they have never really pondered to the full extent.
They have never asked the simple questions like, “How did I come to that conclusion?” “Do I believe this because I have evidence or experience to verify this notion?” “Do I believe and repeat this because someone I admire or respect says it frequently?” “If this idea or opinion is valid and true, what else must also be true?” “If all those things are true, what changes are needed or are imminent in my life?
If you have not taken time to ask yourself these questions, you may have strong opinions, but you don’t know why. You are at risk of living in an echo chamber. It is neither a safe place to be nor a wise place to be.
You need to get a mentor, join a mastermind, brainstorm with people you disagree with, or at minimum seek out a sounding board who is bold enough and intellectual enough to challenge your ideas. Make sure any of the people pass the minimum requirements of: 1. They GENUINELY care about you and your best interest. 2. They are committed to your growth MORE than winning you over or winning an argument,
CAUTION: Some people “offer themselves” in these capacities ONLY TO PROVE you wrong and how smart they are.
Depending on the purpose of your conversation, the nature of your ideas, and the affinity to relationship, some of these mentors could be engaged at NO COST TO YOU . Others will be trained, certified professionals and perhaps industry specific mentors who charge for their time and insights.
— HERE’S HOW YOU CAN KNOW -- — IF EVERY VOICE, OPINION & IDEA YOU HEAR SOUNDS LIKE YOURS - ITS AN ECHO CHAMBER — IF YOU ARE GETTING YOUR VOICE HEARD AND SOME PEOPLE SHARE YOUR IDEAS AND SOME REJECT THEM - ITS A SOUNDING BOARD — IF YOU HAVE IDEAS WHICH ARE STILL BEING DEVELOPED AND NEED TO BE GROWN AND STRETCHED AND CHALLENGED - ITS A BRAIN STORM — IF YOU ARE SHARING YOUR IDEAS, HEARING IDEAS OF OTHERS, DEVELOPING NOTIONS YOU HAVE NEVER CONSIDERED, LEARNING NEW WAYS TO THINK - ITS A MASTERMIND

PERSPECTIVE. PERSPECTIVE CHANGES. PERSPECTIVE CHANGES EVERYTHING
When we change how we look at things, the things we look at seem to change as well.
Dr. Caroline Leaf calls it the Multiple Perspective Advantage. So far as we are able to understand, it is a phenomenon of human psychological make up, meaningfully no other animals are capable of this exercise.
Simply put, we have the unique ability to mentally remove ourselves from a situation or circumstance to observe and consider the same event from another perspective, EVEN AS IT IS HAPPENING TO US. This distinctly human advantage is a powerful way for us to cope with trauma, with atrocities, with devastation and remain calm and analytical.
This MPA is as natural as breathing. It is available to every human soul on Earth. It is also skill which can be taught, practiced and mastered by those disciplined enough to do so. Just like a high performing athlete, a Navy Seal, an Olympic Swimmer or a Tibetan Monk who learns to master their breathing for performance, health and clarity, anyone can learn to master their MPA.
If you find yourself suffering with anxiety, depression, anger, frustration, defeat, a victim mindset, what you want is a NEW SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES. What you need is a NEW PERSPECTIVE!
Yes, a relief from current circumstances would be refreshing and enlightening. But if hope is fading, it is not likely CIRCUMSTANCES ALONE. If Viktor Frankl can survive the death camps of the Holocaust with hope for a future, your circumstances and mine can be overcome as well.
Its time to put your life into a new light. Apply the skills of the MPA and create the PERSPECTIVE you desire!!

HOW MUCH TIME HAVE YOU SPENT THINKING ABOUT YOUR COME BACK AFTER THE GLOBAL SHIFT OF COVID 19?
The question should not be “Will I mount a come back when all this isolation is over?”, but rather, “How will I mount a comeback when this is all over?” Some are focused only on how to make money in lean times. Some are focused on the fear of contracting the disease. Some are focused on the loss of life, finances, status, opportunity. Some are focused on the suspected “bigger agenda.”
I believe the wisest are those who are focused on becoming a better version of themself in this season.
Like my friend Cheri Garcia in this video she shared on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/cherigarcia_stayinghome-ugcPost-6650840991563595777-kvBx)
We all have opportunity to grow, to learn, to improve in this season. We have all been given an incredible opportunity to slow down and smell the roses. We have all been challenged, pushed, pressed and restrained to GUARD OUR OWN LIVES!
What if we applied this opportunity to BECOMING BETTER, a better friend, a better spouse, a better leader, a better employee, A BETTER HUMAN in this season?
John Maxwell says, “Its not experience which makes us wise, it experience we take time to reflect on that makes us wise.”
WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT in this time of isolation?

GULLIBLE IS ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING “YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW.”
If you are a leader who knows what others don’t, who takes advantage of their ignorance YOU ARE A SHAMEFUL FOOL!
Yes, if you are one of the following: - Political leaders who make rules regarding stock trading in order to participate in “insider trading” which is illegal to anyone else. - Political leaders who manipulate laws to deceive and control the population with rules they don’t have to follow. - Sales people who finagle a deal based on the “newest product to market” before the research is revealed to all. - The physician who prescribed a drug based on kick backs rather than “best results for the patient”. - The teacher who manipulates the “reading material” to promote a political, social, cultural agenda disguised as a reading lesson. - The mechanic who charges for work they didn’t do, but no one can prove it. - A journalist who focuses on “gotcha styled questions” designed only to trap and embarrass the interviewee rather than finding the truth.
This description defines you, A SHAMEFUL FOOL.
Yes, I deceived my sister in the story in the video. I was a shameful fool in many ways as teenager.
If you are a professional, a legislator, a trusted advisor, a leader and you are still taking advantage of others based on what you know and they don’t, SHAME ON YOU!!

STRESS AND PRESSURE LEAD TO BAD DECISIONS. Values will offset the stress!!
Decisions made under pressure are often decisions made with little evaluation of the long term consequences. Most humans will succumb to the “fight or flight” emotions, hormones and biochemicals in the brain and body. These instincts generally push us to make decisions which solve ONLY what seems to be the immediate threat or danger.
First responders, pilots, athletes, professional fighters and medical professionals all train to respond in such intense situations so that their reflexive response will be based more on training than reacting in a crisis.
Relationally speaking, we should all establish our own core values and practice/ rehearse/ train ourselves to respond with those value based decisions under any circumstances. This exercise will allow us to face the stress of this season of life with the confidence our decisions were made long before we got into such dire circumstances.

WHO GETS YOUR STUFF WHEN YOU DIE? BETTER QUESTION WHO TAKES CARE OF THOSE YOU CARE ABOUT WHEN YOU CAN’T? “If your child has physical, emotional or mental challenges, careful estate planning is crucial. One of the most important reasons to create a proper estate plan is to preserve the child’s eligibility for government benefits and other programs. There are many things that could go wrong and jeopardize eligibility for those benefits. One of those includes beneficiary designations in retirement plans and other accounts. If these funds are left to children with special needs, it can have a dramatic unintended financial impact on those receiving needs-based government benefits. For instance, if the child qualifies for Medicaid and receives aid to help with his daily living and medical needs. If your retirement funds or other accounts pass directly to your child, then receiving those assets may disqualify him or her for Medicaid benefits. In layman’s terms, since only a home, a car used as transportation for medical care, and $2,000 in cash are exempt from Medicaid calculations, inheriting a large sum of money could disqualify your child for Medicaid and disability benefits.” https://dentonestateplanninglawyer.com/planning-for-children-with-special-needs/ Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 3-27-20 LEADING LEADERS PODCAST with J Loren Norris providing daily leadership video lessons promoting faith, family and freedom for Tell It Like It Is TV .

Whose to blame? Who’s fault is it? Who do we hold accountable for all the loss of life, the loss of jobs, companies, stock market? Is there one person to blame? I think the answer is NO.
I believe we all have some part to play. I also believe we all have to be willing to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for the elements we can control. We need to acknowledge that the reality of doing our part is about US. Social distancing. Hyper vigilance in sterilization and sanitizing everything we touch. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of risk. Taking care of each other in society by laying down our own selfish needs and desires long enough to benefit others. These are the responsibilities of EVERY HUMAN ALIVE in these times.
If we each do our part, we can stop the spread, save lives and restore a sense of normalcy. IF WE DON’T, then we are the ones to blame.
Lead by doing your part. Take responsibility. Act responsibly.

THIS SECRET #1 STRATEGY HELPS YOU WIN, WHEN LIFE SUCKS!
LIFE IS ABOUT ATTITUDE. YOU SHOULD GET ONE!! “THAT SUCKS. WHAT NOW?”
Here’s an excerpt from Attitude Hack - also part of the audio training available linked below.
“If those thoughts become beliefs, become attitudes, become actions, become behaviors, it's just what you do again and again and again without thinking. Those habits, when they're all added together become a behavioral pattern. This behavioral pattern will become your lifestyle and your mindset.
Someone might say, "He's really a negative guy. Everything coming out of his mouth is negative. He's mean to other people. He doesn't consider other people's feelings. He never has a positive thing to say about the business or about the industry, or even about himself or the people he works with. He's just a bad seed." Now your group of behaviors has become a label.
Then what happens? Well, you are the guy who always talks about how you’re never gonna close the sale. You believe it, so you say it and so you show up and do it. You do what? You don't close the sale! Ever!
When the time comes up for a promotion or a new job or a new opportunity, you are the last one considered. Because of the negative attitude, because of the negative language, because of the negative behavior, opportunity passes you by.”

WHAT IF WE HAD A “RUN” ON SELF AWARENESS EQUAL TO THE “RUN” ON TP?
Desperation to have something is driven with passion and zeal when the something is considered “mission critical” or “life necessity”. Where is the desperate search for awareness?
No amount of stock piled toilet tissue will not stop the spread of the corona virus #COVID19. However, awareness to follow precautions will. Awareness of how it spreads will. Awareness of dangers, hazards, risks and symptoms WILL SLOW AND EVENTUALLY HALT the spread of the virus.
Let me also say, AWARENESS could slow or halt the spread of all sorts of other viral threats to society such as hatred, anger, racism, sexism and other displays of ignorance.
Please, lets seek AWARENESS with the same zeal and passion some demonstrate in their search for toilet tissue.

WHATS THE SECOND MOST IMPORTANT DAY IN YOUR LIFE? WHAT PRICE WOULD YOU PAY TO FIND OUT? Are you a blank slate and the sum of your life is the result of the mud everyone else has slung at you? Are you preprogrammed for a certain level of accomplishment and success with no say in the matter of your career, education and income? Are you destined to become only what society and culture determine for you to be? What if you’re more like the kids described at the end of the video? What if your beauty and power are just below the surface of some delicate but painful “mud slugging recovery efforts?” Would you pay the price to find the truth and become aware of the second most important day in your life?

WHEN FEAR AND PAIN COLLIDE THE RESULT IS A RELATIONSHIP TIME BOMB WAITING TO GO OFF...
Speculations are, more people will suffer financial loss in this season of COVID19, than will suffer the loss of their health or the loss of a loved one. When we consider the ripple effect and the long term impact of income loss, job loss and opportunity loss, the fear and pain of these losses can look like repossessions, foreclosures, divorce and even homelessness.
Most counselors and coaches can tell you anger is a dangerous thing to add to the mix of an already heart rending and frustrating season. They can also tell you ANGER IS THE RESULT OF FEAR MIXED WITH PAIN.
The fear of loss and the pain of loss can become seething anger and uncontrollable rage silently resting beneath the surface. Just watch the videos of women assaulting each other in the store over toilet tissue. Situations will arise driving people to respond in unusual ways.
As leaders in your family, your work place and your community, I encourage you to be on your guard against these moments. Watch for the anger in your own reactions. Be prepared to de-escalate and defuse situations in the home, the work place and if needed in the community at large.
If you are aware of anger rising in you, stop and ask, “What am I afraid of and what’s hurting me about this situation?”
BE A CONTRIBUTOR TO THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM.

Heart disease, hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, immunity deficiencies, emotional instability, hormone imbalances, swelling of the joints, deterioration of bones and joints all of these are a direct biophysical result of ONE VIRAL CONTRIBUTING PROBLEM!
Yes, these are medical problems! Yes, these are physical problems! Yes, these can become life threatening! At minimum, they all directly impact ones quality of life. All of these problems are driven by TOXIC THINKING. Harmful thoughts, harmful emotions, equal a harmful attitude. These are toxic thoughts, which release hormones into the body.
THOUGHT + EMOTION = ATTITUDE
Every human has an attitude because we are all carriers. Attitude is more contagious than any virus. Getting control of the attitudes you carry is the only way to break the viral cycle! GOOD NEWS - ATTITUDE IS A CHOICE!

ACTION WITH PERSISTENCE BEATS ALMOST EVERY OTHER QUALITY, TALENT OR TRAIT.
More than anything in your life, the greatest contributing factor to success may rest in persistence alone. Its not those who have the greatest education, the greatest connections, the greatest wit, the best talent or even those with the greatest “new ideas”.
Success belongs to those who absolutely will not quit! No matter what comes at them, they persist and pursue their dreams. They have a vision for their future. They have seen and accepted their purpose. They know what they want to become. They refuse to be derailed or deterred.
Distractions. Haters. Those who have another opinion. Those who are jealous of your potential. These are the people who can tell you 1001 reasons why you are not qualified to succeed. Ask them to politely shut up! If you listen to them, they are right. They will eventually convince you that you are not worthy, you are not talented, you are not competent and you cannot succeed. SILENCE FOOLS! SILENCE!
Persistence eventually says to the NAY SAYERS, either you’re with me or you’re against me. I have no space in my life for a peanut gallery of cackling observers. Contribute to my success or find someone else to harass.
Pick your path. Pick your plan. Persist. Persist. Persist. When you feel like quitting, persist some more. Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast.

WHAT PART OF YOUR STORY MATTERS? TO YOUR CUSTOMERS? TO YOUR TEAM? TO YOU? Only the part you tell? Only the part others tell? Only the part that makes them act? Ie: to buy, to buy in or to comply?
Many people have a specific part of their story they dwell upon. They want to hide certain aspects of their story and highlight other aspects. They want to tell the part of the story which makes them seem like the the hero while withholding all the parts which reveal their flaws, their mistakes, their weaknesses - their humanity.
Surely, there are parts of your story which hold no positive “marketing impact.” Their are parts of your story which would make you vulnerable to adverse actions or opinions legally, politically or socially. Their are parts of your story which bring internal shame, humiliation and frustration. So what good are they? Should you ever use them?
Your story is informing you what you think about you second by second. Those stories you fight so hard to conceal from public scrutiny are informing your mood, your relationships, your attitude every single day.
Concealing the details of your story from the prying eyes of social media is critical, but handling the emotional impact of the same story is a BIG BIG DEAL and you need someone you can trust to process through those stories. #storypower
Brady Daniel, Sonny Gann, Michelle Bengtson and Wendy Torres are four of the best people I know for this processing. Trust me when I say, EVERY PART OF YOUR STORY MATTERS - it is the script for who you were, who you are and who you will become. But you are the editor and chief. Master your story - you can master your life! #storypower

FEAR WILL OWN YOU IF YOU LET IT. IT’S A CHOICE. DON’T LET IT!
Have you ever heard or used the phrase “SCARED TO DEATH?!?”
Did you know it can actually happen? Especially if you already have a heart condition. Stress does horrible things to the human body. Inflammation, cancer cells, high blood pressure and other negative impacts are common effects of stress - which can be induced by, magnified or even initiated by fear.
If you are susceptible to FEAR MONGERING beware the damage it will do you your life. FEAR WILL EAT YOU UP. FEAR WILL RAT YOU OUT. FEAR WILL ROB YOU BLIND. FEAR WILL LEAVE YOU LONELY.
KNOW THIS - FEAR IS A CHOICE AND YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SURRENDER TO IT. You were wired from your maker with LOVE! Which casts out fear. POWER to live a life free from fear and a SOUND MIND to chose anything other than Fear.

WHAT STORY DO YOU TELL ABOUT THOSE CLOSEST TO YOU?
In everyday conversation we find reasons to talk about people who occupy our mental real estate. People who come to mind on a regular basis make an impact in who we are. Our chatting with others will reveal much about those closest to us in the same way it reveals much about us.
It is through this reasoning we can learn about people and their friends and enemies most by listening. But the real questions for you to consider have more to do with how you treat your friends and loved ones when they’re not around.
Is it honoring? Is it hurtful? Is it truthful? Does your story about them match who they really are? Does your story reveal a secret they entrusted to you? Does your story expose them in an unfair way? Watch the video for some examples of how people will unfairly and possibly even unintentionally dishonor and even betray one another in “casual conversation.”

“TRUST TAKES YEARS TO ESTABLISH AND SECONDS TO DESTROY” HOW LONG DOES DISTRUST LAST? From companies who have been embezzled, spouses who have been betrayed, children who have been abused to citizens who have been misled destroying trust only takes moments.
Years of employment, years of marriage, years of peace, would all seem like indicators everything is OK. But the moment a lie comes to light everything changes.
The first time the news breaks of corruption in a political campaign, of the misuse of funds by a school administration or the abusive tactics of law enforcement there becomes a sense of distrust. Now every choice, every decision, every announcement is questioned for cause, intent, suspicious outcomes and the questions linger.
It’s not like the scenes change allows each decision to stand alone either, it happens that each choice is measured now against the known violation of trust and considered only through that lense. How then do we rebuild that trust? What measures need to be taken to demonstrate trust worthiness? How do we learn to trust again?
These questions are the subject of many books and Ted Talks so I will encourage you to invest some time in researching them if you find yourself on the outside of the proverbial circle of trust or the trust tree.
I do want to caution as a leader of any level, trust is a currency you cannot afford to squander. It is harder to amass than bitcoin and easier to lose than bets on a roulette wheel.
Guard your trust!! Integrity is a hard thing to regain!!

DO YOU PROJECT YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS ON THE PEOPLE YOU LEAD?
We all have beliefs systems. All of us. Every human being has a belief system or perhaps more than one.
We have developed them through the course of our life and either proven them to be “true based on experience” or at least repeated them so often we believe them to be true even if we have never actually experienced them.
Most of these beliefs were formed in us by observation of the environment we grew up in. Most of these beliefs - wrong or right - were cemented in our memories and inner judgments before age 10. Most of these beliefs drive our behavior well into adulthood impacting relationships, career and education. Most of these beliefs will impact the way we lead, who we choose as friends, who we choose as business associates and who we trust. Most of these beliefs are based on a decision we made when we were so young we could not possibly have had all the facts. Most of these beliefs are expressed in the conversations we have with friends and strangers. Most of these beliefs create the stories we tell.
In the #StoryPower Master Class we address some of the more glaring sabotaging beliefs as they are expressed and offer alternative language to reframe these beliefs as well as tell a better story - internally and externally.

WORD CHOICE IS A POWERFUL PROGRAMMING TOOL FOR STORY TELLERS AND WORLD LEADERS.
From racial slurs to politically motivated character assassinations, some words have been given meaning for the sole purpose of manipulation.
I once had a man ask “What right do you have to criminalize an article of clothing?”
Alone, the question is an interesting choice of words. The idea on the other hand would conjure some odd imagery. Think fast. What clothing have you known to be outlawed or criminalized?
While your imagination is churning on things like the swastika, the hooded sheets of the kkk, the nearly nothing of some beach goers - does the hooded sweatshirt come to mind? How about the sleeveless undershirt unaffectionately known as a “wife beater”?
When society allows hitherto unknown meanings and interpretations to be applied to words as generations change, the meaning of history is rewritten as well. Another more blatant example is the use of words like “holocaust”, “concentration camp” and “death camp”.
All of these have a definitive historical meaning. The use of these terms for political persuasion is not only journalistic malpractice, intellectual dishonesty and potential hate speech it is the worst form of manipulation backed by a wicked intent to rewrite or reframe history.
Gender fluidity? Poly amorous? Right wing hate groups? Muslim Terrorist? Islamaphobia? These phrases did not exist one generation ago. But they have been etched in the minds of young people with specific meaning and attached significant emotion through repeated uses in the media.
These words now carry a specific vibrational resonance. They are an energized frequency which impacts hearts and minds whenever they are spoken.
StoryPower Master Class specifically and intentionally teaches story crafting exercises which examine word choice from the perspective of responsibility as a communicator not merely the effect resulting in desired persuasion.

TWO MYTHS ABOUT STORY TELLING FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE.
There are millions of people who talk about the power of story telling to “close the deal”, as an elevator pitch, or even as a primary form of teaching. There are also millions who see their own life’s story as a premise for a book, movie or screen play.
While there is great validity in using story telling as an art form or even as a primary means of communication I believe there are at least two myths about story telling which most people ignore at their peril.
By peril I mean, they may spend hours or even years crafting a story to deliver from stage or other means only to face the first of these two myths and realize their time has been in vain.
Or they may tell their story in such a way as to “reveal all,” expose certain wrongs, gain an upper hand and run headlong into the second of these two myths.
StoryPower intentionally teaches story selection and story crafting as a very targeted form of communication. This process focuses on who is hearing and receiving the story and the long term impact such stories may have on them.
Well selected, well crafted, well told stories can be life changing. They may have immediate transactional influence, but they will also have long term positive impact.

BABIES AND LEADERS SHARE THE SAME FEAR!! AT SOME POINT THEY MIGHT SHARE A GREATER DANGER THAN WHAT THEY FEAR! Babies have a fear of falling. It’s why they gasp for breath when a parent is Holding them and moves too suddenly. The fear of falling they say is the only natural born fear in human beings.
Leaders also have a healthy fear of falling. They fear losing their status, their influence, their position, career or title. It makes sense. No one wants to work so hard for so long and see it all slip away.
HOWEVER - The one danger babies and leaders both must face is the hubris which masks the fear of falling! When a toddler loses that sense of fear they take unlikely risks. When they carry that fearlessness forward into adolescence or young adulthood they do crazy things like street racing, challenging peers to life threatening tasks and they truly believe “IT WON’T HAPPEN TO ME!”
When leaders approach their leadership role with the same level of hubris possessed by teen boys or young men, the same danger arises. They become convinced “IT CAN’T HAPPEN TO ME!”
Toddlers in discovery mode and leaders who are proving themselves both need someone close at hand who is objective enough to see the risks clearly, recognize the potential threats and potential harm which could be done and have to trusted position to SPEAK UP!
When young adventurous children do not heed the admonishment of their parents SCARS ABOUND!
When young leaders with the same hubris based courage do not heed the admonishment of their advisors HEARTBREAK ABOUNDS! Along with lost opportunity, lost money, lost time and possibly lost freedom.
Listen closely to those who are your mentors.
“Not every great risk is followed by great reward!” J Loren Norris

ATTITUDE MAY WELL BE THE DEMISE OF OUR CULTURE - HERE’S WHY... The story YOU tell YOURSELF informs the way you think and feel about YOURSELF and EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING around you. If you remind yourself daily that you are a thug, a failure, a loser and you have to take care of your own interests at all costs because no one else will - you can see how deep the struggle gets - QUICKLY! If the story you tell yourself daily reminds you that no one is in your side, if you want something you have to fight for it, take it or do with out it AND you believe everyone else is thinking the same thing - your life will be filled with strife, risk, pain, broken relationships and perhaps even jail time. The attitude that got you to where you are today (ATTITUDE = THOUGHT + EMOTIONS) will NOT get you into your future UNLESS you choose for you past and your future to be the same!!
Bottom line: IF YOU WANT A BETTER FUTURE YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE.

“Self discipline makes consistency possible. Consistency compounds. Consistency is the prerequisite to excellence. Consistency establishes your reputation. Consistency provides security for other people.” John C Maxwell
This “reputation” is the beginning of respect. When your doing and being match, respect is a bi-product of the excellence of consistency.
Many people believe the “lack of respect” they experience has to do with the people around them. Others believe it depends solely on the level of maturity, insight, wisdom and education they possess. Others still believe respect is to be demanded and commanded. I believe respect is earned. It’s rewarded as a result of consistent and persistent effort. It is the bonus on the bright side of self discipline. CONSISTENCY ESTABLISHES YOUR REPUTATION! Self discipline is what one must couple with AUTHORITY to build a bridge to RESPECT!
When you have authority and respect in full measure you will also have INFLUENCE. more about that another time.

JUST REMEMBER - RESISTANCE MIGHT USE ENERGY BUT MIGHT ALSO PRODUCE NEW POWER.
Many people face resistance, push back, struggle at different stages of their life and success journey.
This resistance may look like an attack on character, assault on relationships, aggravation from past mistakes, accusations against accomplishments, argument assailing education. Whatever form resistance takes, the objective of resistance is not always clear.
The agenda of the person or persons bringing the resistance may seem obvious, but outside forces, the universe, God, however you choose to say it - always has a better plan.
What you are experiencing in the way of resistance RIGHT NOW can become energy converted to power not just energies lost. Shift your focus! Stop allowing the resistance to drain you. Allow it to make you stronger. Don’t allow resistance to dampen your passion. Allow it to set you on fire in a new way. Don’t let resistance tell you you are not good enough! Convert the resistance you are facing into a new level of power! Like the new Mercedes EQC.

WHAT IS A REAL MAN?
It is truly sad to say but we could ask that question of 1000 different people over the last three generations and not get one solidified or unified and consistent answer. I am not sure there has been an answer to that question which pleases everyone for centuries or more. Some would say a professional athlete is the model of a “real man”.
Someone who works hard and plays hard. Someone driven by on the field success and outward expressions of testosterone. Someone who is Intense, extroverted, in control and powerful. Others would say a “real man” is financially successful and who provides for his family better than the previous generation provided for him.
Someone who is educated and street smart. Someone who knows the ways of the world so to speak and knows how to win at all costs. Others would say a “real man” knows how to stand his ground. Someone who knows what he believes and never backs down from it. Someone always running to the defense and aid of others at all cost even the peril of his own life. Someone tough, gruff, filled with grit and vigor. A soldier, a firefighter or a cop might fall in this category of man. So would a gang leader, a drug lord or a pimp.
Some would say a “real man” is a sexy lover. A man who has women falling at his feet over his chiseled features and smooth way. Seduction is his game and he always wins.
Finally, some would say a “real man” is a gentlemen. Quiet, humble, emotionally sensitive mark his nature and his demeanor. He never offends anyone. He never stirs up trouble or controversy. He is always humble and kind. Gentle as a butterfly. Now you can see why young boys are struggling to become men.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT ONE IS!!
With all the talk of TOXIC MASCULINITY - it would do society well to first properly define MASCULINITY. If we don’t know what a real man is, how can we identify the counterfeit?
COME ON. CHIME IN. I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU!!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DECIDE SOMETHING ISN’T WORKING AND MOVE ON?
One of the marks of a solid leader is the ability to make decisions. - Rapidly - Decisively - Risk Aware
RAPIDLY There was an old phrase which came up frequently when I played billiards competitively. “Think long. Think wrong.” Basically it was a reminder that at this level, you have enough insight, wisdom, experience and intuition to make a decision. It is not always the case that more data will change your decision. If you have been here before you should be confident enough to trust your gut.
DECISIVELY “A double minded man is like a wave of the sea - tossed about by every other idea.” Leaders need to know that a decision is a decision. Next should follow action, commitment and results. There should be no need to re-decide, second guess or ask for further opinion after the decision is made.
RISK AWARE “There is safety in numbers. There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.” Making a big decision with large implications and ramifications should not be taken lightly. Ask for guidance, seek counsel, weigh the cost vs benefits and know the projected outcome before you decide. The longer you have been in the role you are making a decision about, the more of those deciding factors are already second nature. So count the cost, then decide and act.
More opportunities slip by without a decision to act on them than are lost any other way. Sure, you may get it wrong from time to time. You may need to course correct and redouble your efforts. But it is still more likely that you will lose the opportunity altogether by doing nothing, by waiting to decide and failing to act.
LEADERS DECIDE - RAPIDLY, DECISIVELY & RISK AWARE.

KINDNESS. COMPASSION. EMPATHY. Are these the make up of the new work force? Or THE BUZZ WORDS of an unachievable dream? Kindness is something we learned in kindergarten. Kindness is something we learned from Thumper’s mother in the Bambi movie. Kindness is the bedrock of most human relationships. Kindness demands selflessness, focus on others and attention to emotional needs of others. Kindness sometimes requires hard work on the part of those giving it.
The work force demands focus on your job and the task at hand. The work force demands work ethic - show up early or on time, stay late, work hard, keep your nose to the grind stone. The work force demands high standards, hard expectations and severe consequences for missing them. The work force can be a dog eat dog world. How then do we propose a focus on others which will be kind, compassionate and beyond ourselves? How do we DO KINDNESS in a rough scrabble world of competition and struggle to get ahead? How do we exhibit kindness as leaders when the intensely focused and driven people seem be the greatest achievers? Of course I have some ideas on that which I will share tomorrow BUT I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!! Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 1-29-20

SELF CARE MATTERS. Do you have a mental maintenance agreement?
Most people buy a warranty when they buy a new car. An after market maintenance agreement will cover repairs to save you the out of pocket costs of certain repairs. The same with expensive electronics, appliances and even jewelry. If it’s a big investment, you need to make the additional investment to make sure it is cover in order to keep it working in TOP CONDITION.
Clint Fuqua offers a similar “maintenance plan” for your body/ your physical health. What do you do for your mental well being? Do you have a plan? Do you have a coach, a mentor or someone to who you can vent and reflect? In a healthy marriage, that person may be your spouse. If your marriage is a “victim” of your daily stresses you need someone else. In fact, depending on your lifestyle, your profession, your underlying medical conditions you may need more than one person.
In my life, I have different pastors, fellow coaches, personal mentors, and a few professional counselors. All of these people have been given authority by me to speak directly into my life to tell me when the see something or hear something which might need more attention and intentional focus. They also have the right to call me out in the way of accountability. All of them listen closely when I have concerns, fears, stressors in my life to help identify not only the symptoms of the issue but to help ferret out the cause. (Reach out to Brady Daniel, Wendy Torres or Michelle Bengtson and mention my name.)
I don’t care who you are, what your profession is, what your level of education is, YOU NEED DEDICATED OUTSIDE EYES on your situation, your well being and your relationships. You cannot see everything yourself.
Get a coach. Get a mentor. Get a therapist. Get a clergy. But get help. Someone whose only agenda is your well being will be the best after market warranty you could ask for in the ongoing care and maintenance of your SELF!

If you really believe what you do makes a difference, why keep it secret?
Freelancers, solopreneurs, contractors and others who work for them self’s in this gig based economy often spend much of their time and money “honing their craft” as they should. Unfortunately, the process often prevents them from growing their business.
They spend all their time, energy and attention not to mentions money gaining more wisdom, education, certifications, and presumed authority until they have nothing left for marketing.
There is a great truth “if you want to grow your business offer a phenomenal quality product or service.” This is a powerful truth because the most effective and cost efficient means of marketing is “word of mouth.” Nothing brings in more business then a good referral based on a good recommendation.
HOWEVER, if the referral speaks of a top notch business operation and then points them to a second rate website, or a business owner who has no website, no quality business cards, no marketing collateral to help support the idea - then the referral falls flat. Not because the quality of your product or service is diminished, but because the IMPRESSION IS. Make sure your marketing materials, efforts and direction strategically match the quality of what you offer! Make sure you don’t break the “referral chain of custody” when someone recommends you by sending them something that doesn’t represent you well. Don’t keep yourself a secret. Market yourself,”. Sell your services. If you believe what you do helps to make lives better don’t keep it a secret.

JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU’RE WASTING YOUR TIME. BOOM!
Yes! We all need a DON’T QUIT NOW reminder from time to time.
Oddly, it does not always come as intentional encouragement. People don’t always sense your desperation and frustration and come riding in on a white horse to save you from yourself. Sometimes the courage to go on, the reminder you have purpose the inspiration to try another day comes from a humble request or a bold demand.
The courage to carry on needs to come from with in for sure. But it can be boosted and reinvigorated by anyone. Here are two which came for me this week. I share them only because the come in disguise and I think there is a chance they have snuck past your place to encourage you as well.
HOWEVER, I wonder if you recognized them...
You’ll have to watch the video to get the nuggets. Honestly if you don’t care to watch the video or don’t have time ... well I guess you don’t need secret encouragement and that’s good.

MY POINT OF VIEW MIGHT OFFEND YOU. CAN YOU HANDLE IT?
“It’s your point of view which makes you unique. Otherwise you’re generic like the millions of other people who do what you do.” Seth Godin
“The truth by its nature is offensive because humans by their nature are not truthful.” J Loren Norris
There are beliefs I hold which are not completely true and I wrestle with them because I have believed them so long they have become comfortable like a well worn pair of shoes. There are truths I know which I wrestle with because I know that conforming to them demands confrontation inside of me.
There are opinions I hold which I keep to myself because I know they are NOT shared by millions of people. The truth is, those same opinions are most likely shared by millions of others. Daily I express my thoughts, share some experiences, ponder the effect and outcomes and expose my ideas through this exercise called Leading Leaders Podcast. Daily I wonder just how far I can go in this world of political correctness and spontaneous offense in sharing my true point of view. Daily I wonder of the the social media monitors, the social justice warriors, and those who wear their opinions and emotions on their sleeve like a badge will call me out, shut me down or silence me in some way. Daily, the limited number of people who see this video and read my words encounter a sliver of who I am and what I think.
But then there are a select few who engage...
These are people from all walks of life. All races, all education levels, all levels of business, all levels of income and influence. They are people who challenge the way I think and who are open to being challenged in the way they think. They are people from opposite ends of the political spectrum and the religious spectrum.
They are people from opposite ends of the political spectrum and the religious spectrum. People like Kasonga Kasonga and Babo Kabasu Babu Katulondi , like Loralee - and Sion Alford, like Robert Parkerson and Mike Arnold, like Edris Ahmady and Nelson Amadigwe, like Jacob R Miles III and Jason Rapert, like Laurel Rolls and Thelma Wells. We discuss politics, religion and relationships, sometimes in a heated exchange. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we cannot. But in the end one foundational truth remains. We are humans, with passionate ideas and a deep regard for other humans.
In my observation, in my opinion, that’s what it means to be a thinking American!

HYPE VS REALITY - which one do you actually buy-in to?
After decades in advertising and marketing I realize the simple way to get the attention you want for your product or service is to “tell the end user exactly what the want to hear.” If they want to join your fitness club so they can look good by summer, it’s easier to sell a “beach body” than hours of grueling, painful, sweat inducing labor.
If they want a deck in the back yard to chill with friends and enjoy the weather - you sell the luxury upgrade to quality of life - not the labor of weather treating the wood and replacing broken boards. If they want the life style of the “rich and famous” you sell the sports cars, yachts and fine dining not the endless hours of study, dedication, perseverance and singleminded focus - because those things are hard and demanding.
It’s much easier to sell the sizzle when someone else is harvesting the wild meat. $89 for 40 seconds - or $8,000 an hour. That’s the income for selling hype. The cost for earning $200,000 in the same 40 seconds - a broken nose, a knockout while the whole world was watching and countless hours of training leading up to it.
As a leader do you have team members focused on and driven by the glamour of the end results with no expectation of the effort required to achieve it?
Do you sell the sizzle or the real deal and all it will take to get it?

WHO POOPED YOUR PANTS?
This questions seems odd I know. The idea is foreign unless you have some really cruel and uncouth pranksters in your life.
Surely no one else has access or even desire to perform such a dastardly deed. Such a foul act would require the darkest of hearts!!!
Yet everyday we look at the circumstances and situations in our lives and we realize something could has happened in our lives. Perhaps something so bad it has derailed our dreams and goals, tainted or vision or even soil our hopes of greatness.
While the likelihood someone else truly is to blame is quite slim, we must take complete ownership and control of the situation as it stands NOW!
We cannot change the past, but we can change our shorts!!
If you lead people who spend a great deal of time blaming others and failing to take responsibility and control for as much as they can, you need to help them see the authority they have in their own life.

GRIT WITH INTEGRITY OR PRETENTIOUS PIETY??
Have you ever spent time with someone so self righteous you feel like at any moment they will just BURST, EXPLODE or come unwound?
I have. And when I got home, I looked in the mirror and said “Hey, why do you act like that?!”
For many years in my youth I was so concerned with keeping up impressions and modifying my behavior to suit the likings of those I wished to dazzle. I was once asked, “Do you have anything to say that comes from your own heart and mind or do you only spit Bible verses?”
At another time, “You’re intense! Like a main spring on a watch wound too tight! I have no idea when you’re gonna snap or who you might hurt when you do!”
It took me a while to grow up and understand what they meant and how I needed to change.
Perhaps you know someone who is now like I was then. Perhaps it’s you. There is hope for positive change. There is a better way to be.
If you have read this far and you are still engaged - please take the time to watch this five minute video.

SOME USE SECRETS TO TEST INTEGRITY!! WHAT??
The rumors of secret societies and secret groups, shadow governments and deep states, cults and little known religious factions all have one thing in common. SECRETS! They all have something to hide it seems. Something sinister? Who knows. But something secret to be sure. Why?
It seems a secret has many forms like a coaches gauntlet. The ability to control information, access to information, the amount of information, the accuracy of information and targeted misinformation would all be managed by secrets. It’s easy to test a new person on the team by telling them something “no one else’s is supposed to know” and then see how long before someone else knows.
I was in the US military for a while. I had a specific level of clearance and I understand the need for guarding certain levels of information which is highly valuable or makes you highly vulnerable. I also understand that certain secrets only have value BECAUSE THEY ARE SECRETS.
An example might be the “pop and stretch” secret of dye sublimation T-shirt printing. Or the “script and punchline” of a comedian or the “secret recipe” of the Colonels crispy chicken or the Bush’s baked beans formula. These secrets hold a true monetary value, it’s called proprietary or intellectual property.
But to manipulate the masses, to guide the outcomes of millions of lives for your own profit of person posterity through secrets - that might be sinister.
Next time someone asks you to “keep this hush hush” or “keep it on the downlow” you might ask yourself: “What is the motivation behind guarding this information?” “Are they just testing my loyalty?” “Who is benefited by this secret?”

WHATEVER YOU’RE HIDING WILL REVEAL ITSELF.
Truth has a sneaky way of showing up sometimes.
Sometimes it just blurts out in the middle of a conversation or an important meeting. Sometimes the lies which hide it begin to fail and falter. Sometimes the one person you never thought would share your secret becomes overwhelmed with the burden of carrying and spills the beans. Sometimes the truth just burns within you like a duff fire until it breaks free and consumes everything around it.
From local pastors sentenced to life in prison for trafficking teen girls to international media celebrities who lose their stature, their influence and income overnight. From corrupt law enforcement officers and politicians who get found out to the the business men and women who cut corners to make a fast buck.
Whatever it is in your life or relationships you have been working so hard hide or cover up GET READY GET READY GET READY to be exposed!! TRUTH HAS A WAY OF REVEALING ITSELF!
Don’t lead in darkness. Come clean. Get a head if it. Face the truth and handle it. It’s not too late to do the right thing.

MANAGE THE DISTRACTIONS OR THEY WILL MANAGE YOUR TIME. WHAT IS A DISTRACTION?
I know I am the only person who ever went into a room looking for something and found something I lost before and shifted my focus for the next few minutes. Right? Not!
I know I am also the only person who gets derailed while doing daily tasks by some other task which must be completed first - like clearing old files to create more memory space only to find the “delaying task” is consuming more time, energy and attention than the original task I Sept out to accomplish. Just me, right? Not likely.
Finally I know for certain I am the only person who gets invited to donate my time, talent and treasure to a worthy cause not my own. Seriously worthy causes especially will get my attention/ distraction. I am alone in this? Probably not.
Good causes can be very time consuming. They drain your emotional energy, your physical energy and your time (sometimes even your finances). Focus will be a significant key to your success as a leader. It’s best to take the time to THINK of all you need to accomplish and create a timeline for what needs to be done to make it happen. The better detailed your roadmap, the more likely you will know what YOU DON’T HAVE TIME FOR!
Being ready, prepared and capable of saying NO might just be your greatest leadership asset in 2020. Use it.

DO YOU FOLLOW THE INPUT OF A MENTOR? Many people underestimate the value of a mentor. Most because they have never had an effective mentor or coach. Many because the discount the advice of a mentor or coach as just “someone else’s opinion.” Some because they simply are not teachable. Mentors and coaches will often test the waters of a would be client by using an application, an assessment or simply asking some tough questions in the initial meeting. How one responds to these probes will be generally indicative of their future response to challenging instruction. If you have a mentor or a coach, the best sure fired way to free yourself of their burdensome requests is to ignore their insights and fail to follow their advice or instruction. Two things you should know about a serious coach or mentor in this process. 1. The instruction or advice they use to test your veracity may seem silly or simplistic ad an absolute waste of time. Do it any way. 2. If you have already invested in a scheduled amount of coaching or mentoring when you opt to cease following instruction, you are very unlikely to recoup your investment. Don’t waste your money or their time and effort. If you are unreachable, don’t blame anyone else for your lack of results. Follow the instructions and advice of your mentor or coach. If you do and the instructions don’t work... well that’s another lesson for another day. Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 1-8-20

LEADERS KNOW THEIR LANE AND THEY FOCUS THEIR EFFORTS THERE.
It’s easy to think “a pro at something” is a pro at everything. That is seldom the case. A great sales person does not always make a great sales rep. A great ball player does not always make a great coach. A great student does not always make a great teacher.
Please understand, the marks of greatness are often exhibited on many levels. Any high achiever who is willing to put in the hard work, demonstrates the toughness needed to see a project though and shows up for the long arduous practices will be a high achiever in more than one area.
A disciplined athlete may be great at more than one sport. An incredible scientist may be good at math as well as physics and other academic disciplines. A great orator my also be an incredible thinker and writer. A persuasive attorney may be great at politics or teaching as well. But the bridge of greatness does not always mean crossing from a great athlete to a great politician. Nor does it mean every great scientist will have communication and relational skills to be a teacher, Sheldon??
But leaders must understand their strength zones as well. Elite as they may be, most often leaders have one or two areas where the really shine. They should focus their efforts in those areas and delegate the areas the don’t. Humility to know the difference is an absolute must.

MYOPATHY IS BOTH A MEDICAL CONDITION AND A LEADERSHIP FAILURE. DON’T BE MYOPIC IF YOU CAN HELP IT.
Fires in Australia, the threat of war looming in the Middle East, a Tsunami off the coast of Indonesia, major corrections in the market... add to that payroll, overhead, monthly expenses, P&L statements and tax reports and soon your head is swimming. Then along comes the executive committee or your coach who says “you have to focus”.
FOCUS ON WHAT!?!?
In reality we all suffer from the distractions of life. Not everyone loses minutes or hours everyday to cat videos or trolling social media but everyone gets caught up in the affairs of life in their periphery. Those are the tiny details which can detail the greatest of intentions. We need to focus on the matters at hand for sure.
HOWEVER... I also believe their is a risk for leaders which disguised itself as FOCUS and it is not. It’s called myopathy. The ability to see (literally or figuratively) only a very small portion of what’s right in front of us. When we lose sight of the world around us we can become selfish, ruthless, and detrimental to the long range goals of the organization.
Successful leaders know how to both “keep their eye on the ball” and “look at the big picture”. They know when to shift their focus and when to delegate. Guard your attention and your focus to guard against myopic thinking.

Leaders Must Speak Up Against Injustice “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” Said many men, on many occasions.
TO WHOM DO YOU LEND YOUR VOICE UNTIL THEY FIND THEIRS?
Silence is often the greater evil. The act of knowing what to do or say and “staying out of it” is often more injurious than the act of evil itself. If you know to do right or to say right and your do or say nothing, are you any different than the perpetrator of wrong doing?
If you see someone kidnapping a child, stealing a purse, robbing a bank, trafficking a mother and child, selling drugs, stealing from the boss, harming an innocent in any way - is their not something natural inside of you which screams out against the injustice? How then could you remain still and silent?
We live in a generation when the mob mentality has silenced the majority of good people. A few threatening gestures or political posturing and the majority cowers in the corner. As leaders you have a responsibility to right.
We must speak up. We must show up and vote. We must speak the truth even when in popular. We must speak the truth at great risk. We must tell it like it is even when it costs us friends or instagram followers. Now is the time to be real with your own core values. To speak on behalf of those who cannot, those who would not, those who have not yet found their voice.
Leaders lead. So lead.

3 THINGS THAT WILL DESTROY YOUR NEW YEAR. 1. Too much focus on current circumstances and comparison. 2. Too much focus on the mistakes or misses of the past. (Failure mindset) 3. Too little focus on the truth of your destiny and the story you tell yourself. Instead let me encourage you to take some time over the next 36 hours to make a list of all the things you had considered, imagined, planned, wished or tried to accomplish in 2019. Using this complete list, isolate those things which were accomplished from those which were not. Looking first at the list of things which were accomplished take a moment to be filled with gratitude. Out beside each accomplishment on the list make note of all the other accomplishments which happened because of or in conjunction with this success. Now write a list of all the people who helped you to reach this accomplished success. Next, looking at the list of uncompleted accomplishments, ask your which ones still matter? Was it an idea whose time has passed? Do I still care to see this happen? How much emotional energy will I need to invest to achieve this? Is it worth it? If you cannot see investing any more time, money or emotion in this idea - SCRATCH IT OFF THE LIST! What remains will be the accomplishments set before you for 2020. Now look at your great successes of the last year or the last decade. Match them up with the accomplishments in your sights 2020. Chances are, the same energy, effort and connection which brought success before will bring success again. Be clear on your emotional attachment to these accomplishments. Be clear on your reasons behind them. CHANGE YOUR STORY It’s time to stop repeating the current circumstances. The primary reason you are is because you are letting the circumstances tell your story. They may be you story for now, but they need not be your story for next. It’s time to stop repeating in your head the list of misses, mistakes and failures. Again, these inform your reality and your emotions and they will detail any future accomplishments. Finally, begin to remind yourself EVERYDAY of the successful accomplishments of the past which match the ones which lie ahead. Use the energy and relationships of your previous triumphs to create momentum and write the story of a better future. Still need help? Send me a message and we will schedule a brief session to get you started!! WATCH THE VIDEO #leadingleaderspodcast 12-30-19.

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED SOMETHING SO BADLY IT CONSUMES YOU?
Perhaps is is a true addiction. Perhaps it is a desire you have sacrificed time, money and relationships in the pursuit of. Perhaps it is a desire which keeps you up at night and causes you to ponder and wonder and imagine great ways to achieve it.
BUT WHAT IF??? What if that desire was a stirring deep in your soul? What if that insatiable craving had no name? No label? What if you felt like you we missing something but could say what was missing? What if you had that homesick feeling only it was homesick for a place you’ve never been?
Imagine living a huge chunk of your live with a burning hunger and no way to fill it because you don’t know what you’re hungering for.
I believe there is a large percentage of the population of the world who awake and go to sleep experiencing this longing everyday. Some people placate the feelings with job hopping, becoming a career student, or changing relationships as often as they change socks. Some turn adrenaline rushing activities by living on the edge of their seats, at the extreme it becomes a life of addictions to illicit substances and risky behavior or even crime. There is an emptiness with no foreseeable satisfaction.
Is this you? You want more control of your own life and choices. You want more people to recognize and honor you your contributions to this world. You want to be a significant part of someone’s life. BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS LET ALONE HOW TO GET A HOLD OF IT.

WHAT HAS FEAR COST YOU?
How many opportunities for career, education, relationship, sales, joint venture have slipped through your fingers due to fear?
How many dreams, goals or visions have you abandoned because of fear?
What is it about fear in its many forms which freezes us into inaction or terrifies us into the wrong action?
Better question, what is it we’re afraid of? Public speaking? Asking someone out? Asking for the sell? Asking for help?
In most instances the worst possible outcome is a “NO!” In most cases that is not life threatening or even harmful to our health. In most cases the worst possible outcome is a bruised ego.
Leaders are risk takers, not foolishly, but boldly. Whatever it is you are seeking in life, most likely lies on the other side of fear. Go get it.

WHAT YOU WANT MUST DRIVE YOU BECAUSE YOU’RE HUNGRY TO HELP OTHERS. MAKE 2020 about others.
Positive energetic action in the wrong direction makes you tired. Massive action with no direction is futility. Massive, passionate action with persistence in the right direction that will get results.
Great. HOW DO I KNOW if it’s the right direction? How do I know if I am taking the right action? How do I know if my passion is enough?
BETTER QUESTION: Do you know your desired outcome?
NEXT: Do you have a burning desire to see THAT OUTCOME in reality? Are you willing to sacrifice everything and try anything to achieve that outcome?
When we are focused on self to the exclusion of others, we tend to lose the momentum needed to face the obstacles life throws at us.
Ask yourself honestly, are there risks I would take for my spouse, my kids, my friends which I would not take for myself?
Leaders are risk takers. Leaders are action takers. Leaders are purpose driven to specific outcomes. Leaders are focused on adding value to others.

“WALK SLOWLY THROUGH THE CROWD!” John Maxwell.
Put your phone away. Smear an inviting smile across your face. Leave you baggage and luggage in the trunk. Muster up some hope and joy and excitement about what is coming NEXT!
‘Tis the season for holiday parties and New Years Parties. ‘Tis the season for meeting, greeting, discovering and engaging. You’ll do it much better without the digital devices and the excessive libations.
Leaders lead. Speakers speak. Coaches coach. But NOW IS A TIME to hear, to truly listen, to care, to share and to discover.
You have a golden opportunity to honor the host of every party you have been invited to. You have a chance to mingle with people you seldom see. You have a chance to make a connection where you haven’t before. Take the time to do it.
PRACTICE THIS.
Don’t walk into the room with the attitude “I AM HERE!!” But rather walk into the room with the attitude of “THERE YOU ARE!”
Enjoy this time and make the most of HUMAN CONNECTIONS.

WHAT IS THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS IN 2020?
((Long message 13 minutes))
Yesterday I listened to several hours of interviews with men like Bill Gates, Jack Ma and the wealthiest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote. They all had very similar things to say about wealth, success, impact, world view and innovation.
So let me ask this profound question:
ARE SUCCESSFUL WEALTHY PEOPLE SUCCESSFUL & WEALTHY BECAUSE OF THEIR MINDSET OR DID THEIR WEALTH CHANGE THEIR MINDSET?
Let me offer this for consideration as you plan for 2020. THE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS THAT GOT YOU HERE MAY NOT GET YOU TO NEXT!
Watch the video #leadingleaderspodcast 12-10-19.
*Aliko Dangote
Nigeria's Dangote, Africa's Richest Person, Became Rich at Home. For the seventh year in a row, Forbes has calculated that Aliko Dangote* is Africa's richest man, worth around $12.2 billion.

Some of these people will steal the idea and rush to market with it. Some will mock it until they crush all hopes of launching just because they are jealous of your potential success. Some will wait silently until the dream is launched so they can point out every learning point along the journey. Some will watch every phase of the birth of your vision, then snatch it from your hands to destroy it.
Be careful who you surround yourself with when your launching new ideas. Make sure you know who needs a NDA and who needs loving silence. Make sure you are getting your advice from mentors who have done this before who can help you avoid the pitfalls. Make sure you haven’t surrounded yourself with those who only wish to glean from you and run.
Your vision deserves the best. Launch it in a safe, caring, loving environment and nurture it to a life of vibrant, thriving success.

No responsible and loving parent delivers a baby and then leaves it in the middle of a busy freeway.
But day after day entrepreneurs do a similar thing when they share their hopes, dreams, visions and plans with people who do not care to see them happen.

“IMPACT IS INFLUENCE IN ACTION” WHAT IS SOURCE OF YOUR IMPACT?
From parents to school teachers, from social media to peers, from marketing campaigns to comments of random strangers young people grow up with various levels of influencers in their life. We all do, we all have and we all are influencers on some level.
No one escapes this life without have been influenced. No one manages to slide through in total isolation. When we think back to the people who held influence in our lives, we often make statements such as “Your kindness truly impacted my life.”
We also know people who have been bullies, or they have been bullied and just the hurtful words alone have left scars, like emotional bruises, on the hearts of victims. Impact.
In many ways, the unseeable energy in relationships is a powerful form of influence which leads to great impact.
INFLUENCE has a risk factor. As an influencer, you risk creating and exacerbating relationships you are not seeking. (This is how powerful and charismatic people end up in adulterous affairs.) This risk goes the other way as well, the risk of being influenced can lead to abuse, manipulation and coercion.
Trust me when I say, if you DO THE THINGS NEED TO GROW YOUR INFLUENCE you cannot help but make an impact in peoples lives. The question is this: will you be a good manager and leader of that influence and impact or will you use that influence strictly for your own gain?
Establish your INTENTION to do good, to add value, to influence well before you grow your influence to the level of impact.

INFLUENCE - LIKE YOUR BRAIN DOESN’T GROW IN A VACUUM.
The way people grow and expand their thinking is through accumulation. Thinking requires a new idea, plus a committed process, plus testing of the idea, plus brainstorming with others who challenge and improve the idea.
That is EXACTLY the process for influence. To grow your influence, your ideas need to be “road worthy”. If you are brilliant, but none of your ideas are tested you could potentially bring harm to lots of people. If your ideas are fresh and exciting but no one is willing to follow them, they are still not “road worthy”.
To grow your mind and your influence you need to consider ideas from other sources, consider ideas which may be entirely new, “walk the dog” with those ideas and see if you gain buy in.
Finally, you must know the difference between “sheeple” influence and leading leaders. Remember the illustration from yesterday, cliff diving. Several of us went over the cliff, not because we planned to, not because we had a fearless trust in the influence who lead us there, not because it was a good idea we all agreed with, but because we followed like “sheeple” and no one questioned the wisdom or outcome of potential risk. Enron anyone?
Just because people have liked your content and followed your page or profile or podcast is not in itself evidence of the validity or strength of your influence. Bieber has tens of thousands, perhaps millions more followers than I do - so does Ms Cyrus.

**WHAT IS INFLUENCE?
HOW DO YOU MEASURE IT?
HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE SOME?**
Do you remember the days when the words peer pressure dominated almost every conversation between parents and teens?
Many conversations started like “why can’t I _______? I mean everyone I know is...” and ended with the most rhetorical questions ever posed. “Well if all your friends jumped off a cliff...”
Wait. I did do that. It was the precursor to my first back injury and I still deal with the effects of it decades later. But I digress.
The idea that teens or anyone for that matter would be inspired to participate in risky, life threatening behavior just because other people they know did, is unthinkable. Right?
Let me remind you the impact of social media and how it has reached the masses. We don’t see peer pressure simply among teens. All walks of life, all geographies and all age ranges are under similar pressures to be accepted, to be appreciated to be recognized.
There is even a name for those who encourage others to behave a certain way, but a certain product or brand and to believe a certain set of assumptions. They call them influencers.
So how do you know if you are one?
I challenge you to do the same as the respect exercise - ask yourself WHO INFLUENCES ME AND WHY? Make a list of the top five influencers in your life and their top traits and look for the common denominators.
Influencers may or may not be people you respect. Is Donald J. Trump someone who influences your behavior, or attitudes? Is he someone you respect?

DID YOU DO THE RESPECT EXERCISE? WHICH TRAITS WERE COMMON AMONG THOSE YOU RESPECT?
I understand most of you are busy and taking time to THINK is not a “productive use of time.” BTW did you see the video of the roofers who decided to remove the chimney they were replacing by pushing it over and allowing it to tumble off the roof?
Now they get to replace 10 feet of decking too. The chimney made a nice hole as it fell through. Thinking time might have been MORE PRODUCTIVE for them.
So how’s your list? Your thinking time to consider the traits you respect about others and the common denominators of those traits should have been well invested. If you finished the list you should have 3-5 new character goals for your own personal growth journey as a leader in 2020.
In case you cannot find time to think, here are my three favorite things to consider when deciding if I respect someone enough that I want to be like them:
-
How do they treat others? Especially those many would consider if lesser stature.
-
Are they respected equally by those who know them deeply as they are by those who know their brand or reputation alone?
-
Do they give respect first even in a new or unknown relationship?
If these traits are present in your life, you will be respectful and respected as a leader. If they are not, there is no better time to start than now.

DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO COMMANDS RESPECT?
**Is that why you give it?
**
Do we most often respect people who demand respect or people who have earned it?
How do people earn YOUR respect? What are some of the attitudes, actions, behaviors which cause you to see them as someone worthy of your respect?
Here’s a reality check for you. Most people would not be able to answer those questions without at least a few minutes to stop and think them through. The reason this is such a challenge is simple. If we cannot quickly identify the reason we respect other people, we also cannot choose those actions attitude and behaviors as our own.
Yes, we all want to be respected. We all long to have the respect of those in our immediate circle of family and friends. We wish to be remembered with respect and have a reputation of respect. Yet all of these hopes will be fantasy if we cannot IDENTIFY and then EXEMPLIFY the models behavior which earn respect!!
Make a list today of all the traits of someone else which cause you to respect them. Then make the same list of two or three more people you respect. Finally circle the common traits between them and make them your own.

DOUBLE MINDED? - LIKE WAVES OF THE SEA?? WHAT????
The tide scrubs the shoreline. Washing certain things onto the shore and other things off the shore.
The under the current can sweep you off your feet and out to sea with such subtle force you’re unable to resist or respond until it’s too late.
Your thoughts, your mental energy are the same!!
If one minute you have a dream to build, to create, to do, to become incredibly fantastic and you follow that very moment with fear, anxiety and doubt, you will find the subtlety of doubt as powerful as the under toe.
You will also find the energy you spend fighting against doubt, against what you are trying to avoid requires more from you than the energy to seek better, to create, to build and to move forward.
Fighting that thing you don’t want to do will wear you out, leave you defeated and be the embodiment of “hope deferred” which makes the heart sick.
If you want to be free of what you don’t want to do, STOP THINKING ABOUT IT - even hating it gives it power over you. RATHER choose something you LOVE MORE THAN YOU HATE THE VICE and focus a doubles down energy there instead.
If you wrestle with that practice. GET A COACH. That’s what we’re here for. The John Maxwell Team alone has 30,000+ coaches to choose from. If I am not your guy just say so, I will point you in a better direction.
But to get started, choose something to love more than you hate what you’re trying to resist.

WHY DON’T WE DO WHAT WE KNOW TO DO?
YOU KNOW THE RIGHT THING BUT DO NOTHING OR THE WRONG THING. WHY?
What is the cause of wrong doing? It must be something common to all humankind because I don’t know a single human who does every right thing. I don’t know a single human who never, ever does a wrong thing. I do know many humans who would clearly and quickly agree - I know what I SHOULD DO - but doing otherwise is easier, more convenient, more politically correct or socially acceptable.
How is it so?
Truth is, sometimes we have “wants” or desires which drive our behavior. These desires are ours alone and can easily cause tunnel vision. We become so focused on attaining the object of our desires we overlook the unintended consequences of our immediate and present choices or behavior.
As an example.
A craving for chocolate cake suddenly comes over me when I walk into a restaurant. It doesn’t matter what the doctor has said about my blood sugar. I can ignore what my wife says about my waste line. I can ignore my inner self screaming “Do you know how many miles that equals strolling through the neighborhood?” Now I have a conflict and dilemma. When the dessert trays comes around, I will see and smell the OBJECT OF MY DESIRE! What in the world would keep me from saying yes and indulging???
Perhaps for you it’s a new gadget, new dress, new pair of shoes, new relationship (or revisiting and old one). RETAIL THERAPY can be as bad an addiction as chocolate cake and crack cocaine.
I have some ideas on how to resist in this struggle but I want to know your thoughts before I share mine, so share this post with your thoughts on HOW TO DO THE RIGHT THING EVERY TIME and look back for my ideas tomorrow.

NAME IS A MANIFESTATION OF CHARACTER, DOES YOUR BRAND NAME LINE UP?
- DO YOU WISH TO BE A TRUSTED AUTHORITY?
- ARE YOU SEEKING TO BUILD A STRONG BRAND?
- HAVE YOU ESTABLISHED A GOOD NAME?
- DO YOU HAVE STRONG NAME RECOGNITION?
NAME - AUTHORITY - BRAND - MANIFESTATION OF CHARACTER - these are by definition interchangeable.
Color schemes, logos, tag lines, these are PR which should express and enhance your brand but they are NOT YOUR BRAND!
If you are not as focused in the actions of your business brand, your name could be Nike or your name could be mud. Look at the “smear campaign” launched against the brand names of Chick-fil-A and The Salvation Army.
They have been accused of bigotry, hatred, bias, discrimination and more. Thus far, there have been no reports of action taken by Chick-fil-A or anyone associated with the company to justify such name calling, but the name callers don’t need facts, just accusations. The power of a damaged name impacts brand reputation and eventually bottom line.
Your brand name should be associated with good citizenship, good service, good quality, good products, and good will in the community. It should not be determined by the opinions of haters who love your product and service but hate your world view.
There may never be “justice” for haters who destroy the life work of someone who has devoted their life to build a brand, do good in their community, provide jobs, provide opportunity and grow the economy.
If you want to have a good brand, a good name, a good reputation, if you want to be a trusted authority in your industry:
- Align yourself with name brands who represent the excellence you strive for.
- Manifest the character worthy of the name you seek to establish.
- Know that your brand will have haters, but they don’t define you - the call out your areas for growth.
- Train your team to speak well of themselves, your customers and your brand in everything they do and say in every interaction with the customer and the public.

IS IT A CONSPIRACY IF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE BELIEVE IT?
IS IT A CONSPIRACY EVEN IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE?
There are so many “hidden agendas” in society today it is becoming very difficult to truly identify “original intent” or “genuine intent.”
Many services and products today, dare I say most... OK ALL products and services are produced and provided at a cost to the producer and provider. It is an expense they are willing to absorb for one reason alone - ROI. If the providers and producers could not see and articulate a clear path to profit, THEY WOULD NOT PRODUCE OR PROVIDE!!
So.
- Does that make the concept of seeking profit a bad thing?
- Does it make earning a profit a bad thing?
- Does it make living well on the proceeds of the profit which came from the services and products provided a bad thing?
NO.
IF THERE WAS NO PROFIT, THERE WOULD BE NO PROVIDERS OR PRODUCERS.
- So is it a conspiracy for the providers and producers to continue to provide and producers at the “expense of the users and takers?”
- Is it a conspiracy for those who have produced to hire and train and employ and offer opportunity to others who are NOT YET providers and producers?
As leaders we are facing a rapid changing of mindset and world view all across the globe. The conspiracy theory of the haves vs the have nots is being pushed and promoted at every level of society.
YES! There are a serious problems with greed and wage gaps and human trafficking which need to be addressed. These are demonstrations of pure evil and evil intent.
However, this cancerous mindset which says anyone who succeeds must be targeted for revenge and their wealth redistributed is a dangerous, age old form of bondage and class warfare. I am sad to say, it is a mindset which some people even use religious text to reinforce.
As leaders, we must help people to see genuine opportunities and pathways to wealth.

IF YOU CAN DO IT ALL BY YOURSELF, YOUR DREAM IS LIKELY SELFISH, SELF CENTERED, SELF SEEKING.
When the dream is about impacting the lives of others in a significant way, the work required to pull it off is generally more than one person can handle.
Think back to all the great accomplishments of human achievement. Whether the first jet powered aircraft, the first rocket to reach the moon, the first in vitro heart surgery or brain surgery, NONE of those accomplishments were achieved by a single person.
Many leaders, especially entrepreneurs like me, we have a chip on our shoulder. We want to accomplish something significant so we can “prove our worth” after all the hard work and sleepless nights. We want to have something to point to for which we can say “I MADE THIS!”
However, if we are going to have a significant and lasting impact, we need to be humble enough to admit we need help. We need to recognize the needs of others and how our contribution will impact them. Then we need to align ourselves with others to “make it happen.”

CAN YOU LEAD WELL? IF SOMEONE WERE FOLLOWING CLOSELY WOULD THEY “GET THERE?”
It’s amazing how often leaders, myself included believe they have given clear, concise and applicable instructions for a given assignment.
Recent I was chatting with another coach after a weekend training. We both marveled at the depth of some of the questions asked by those in attendance. What I realized was how many times I “skip over the basics” to try to offer the deeper meanings and more profound teachings.
On the way home, my wife asked me about something she had heard in the training. She said “do you do that too?” I said yes, “but I have been doing it so long, I mostly do it in my head.”
It had never dawned on me that I should be teaching that step to my StoryPower clients because it seemed so “elementary.”
Today I watched a video of a dad, following the instructions written by his children on making a PB&J Sandwich. It was hilarious but made me take pause as well.

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN BIGOTRY WAS A GOOD THING? Ya. Me neither.
I found and shared a personal recording from the crowd at a recent appearance of a rapper. This video was not polished, produced, edited for the best sound bites, cleaned up to make just the right impression. It was (or at least it appears to be) amateur footage recorded live and shared on YouTube.
The footage includes some VERY DIRECT talk, some “trigger words”, some explanations some people would rather you not hear, some allegations and a challenge for those in attendance to search out the truth behind them.
There is also an enormous elephant in the room in the video, the “soft bigotry” of political correctness. The idea of submitting to the pressures of what is popular and acceptable among the mainstream and the “bullying” and manipulation which follow and counter flowing idea.
Bigotry is in all of its forms a graceless way to lead. Intimidation based on differences is not leadership it is manipulation and tyranny.

WHAT YOU DO FOR OTHERS WILL LAST!
If you asked yourself honestly “What am I the best in the world at?” How clear is the answer to you?
Is there any one thing in your life where you often hear others say how incredible you are at doing that thing?
Is there any one thing in your life which lights you up when you do it?
Is there any one thing in your life which comes so easily to you, you can’t understand why no one else does it the same way?
That is your gift. Now, add skill, practice, diligence, training and more practice to that gift and you have a chance to be the best in the world at that one thing.
BUT DON’T STOP THERE!!!
As incredible as it is to have a WORLD CLASS GIFT OR TALENT what you do with it really matters. What you do for others with it will be your legacy!!

CAN YOU REALLY HANDLE THE SUCCESS YOU ARE SEEKING?
Like Amazon, Toys R Us, Circuit City and many professional athletes a rising star faces many obstacles which will test your metal!
It’s important the set you goals high. It’s important to reach beyond yourself and strive for growth, improvement and opportunity. It is also important to begin that journey with a significant set of core values and foundational principles.
Often people gain wealth, power and influence who have never had wealth, power and influence. Without strong core values at the start, the result is almost always corruption.
If you are seeking significant fun a vial success, financial gain and market power or market share, be certain you have sure odds yourself with people you respect, who share your same values and who have experiences in this level of growth.
Don’t let the first taste of success be your undoing. DON'T LET SUCCESS BE YOUR DOWNFALL

WHAT VALUE HAS A FAKE CRY WHEN YOU’RE PRESENTING?
If you’re in the audience and the speaker or teacher cries over a story that has no real emotion, how do your respond?
Here are a few realities of leadership communication which many people face because they have been given bad advice.
THE BAD ADVICE OFTEN SOUNDS LIKE THIS:
-
EMOTION IS POWERFUL WHEN SPEAKING
-
EMOTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN SPEAKING
-
BE EMOTIONAL WHEN SPEAKING EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO FAKE IT
Here’s the real challenge with the above advise. Statements one and two ARE TRUE and they create the illusion that statement three must be true as well. In reality, fake emotion in a speech is the same level of inauthentic and incongruity as any other form of manipulation.
Leaders who emotionally manipulate others to gain or maintain control are seldom of ever seen in a good light. Speakers who use conjured or fake emotions run the same risk when the people they speak to find out.
The old adage, “How you do anything is how you do everything” should be considered. If you fake it from the stage, if you must manipulate through illusion to “win the crowd”, HOW REAL is what you have to offer in the end?

THANK A VETERAN!
I know the truth. Not every veteran of the US Armed Forces over the last century served voluntarily. I also know not all served honorably. I also know not all served with the same level of risk, danger and effectiveness. Yet all served.
Women and men who sacrifice a season of life to protect and defend our great nation do so because they believe in and honor something greater than themselves. They have committed time away from their own lives, families and careers to fight for you.
Yes, some wars are unnecessary. Many deaths are unnecessary as well. But the cause of freedom, the right to be free, the right to pursue life, liberty happiness are clearly worth fighting for even when the battle is not clear.
If you have served as I have served THANK YOU. Thank you for your willingness to serve, your heart to serve and your sacrifice to serve.

Your Ideas Are Seeds, You Are The Soil!
WHERE IS ALL THE POTENTIAL STORED?
The acorn is a seed. It is not a giraffe seed, not an elephant seed, not an airplane seed it is an oak tree seed. Do you know what comes from an acorn? An oak tree. Nothing else can come from an oak tree. You know what comes from a pine cone? Not an oak tree! Only a pine tree!
Did you know that an acorn or a pine cone left on the road side will become nothing? Seriously it will decay, rot or be eaten by a squirrel but left on a hard surface without water it will wither up and blow away into nothing.
The seed, the acorn, the pine cone, the pumpkin seed all of them are the same thing - a blueprint. They are not the entire substance of the tree. All on their own, they cannot produce a tree. They need something else. A seed needs nutrient rich, moisture filled, deep and solid soil.
Here’s a leadership rule for you. IDEAS ARE SEEDS!! You may have a million of them in your head. They are seeds, blueprints of greatness which like any other seed need a place to germinate, gather nutrients, take on mass and become something of significant substance. Of you want the dreams, goals and visions in your life to become strong enough to hold onto in a storm, build a place in you for them to grow.
BTW, in certain religious ideologies the declaration “ashes to ashes, dust to dust, from the dirt you were made, to the dirt you return” is part of the farewell message to the dearly departed. YOU ARE THE SOIL - the best place for a seed to grow from blueprint to full grown tree... ITS IN YOU! Watch the video for #leadingleaderspodcast 11-5-19 at Tell It Like It Is TV with J Loren Norris

**LEADERS MUST BE REALISTIC ABOUT THEIR PAST.
WHAT SOME SEE AS QUALIFICATION OTHERS SEE AS DISQUALIFICATION.**
It seems odd how many people challenge the rights, wisdom and authority of a leaders.
- Some will challenges the leader because they believe it should be them.
- Some will challenge the leader because they have a differing opinion on how things should be done.
- Some will question the leader because they have their own issues with authority and refuse to be lead.
- Some feel like it is their calling to question everyone and everything.
For whatever reason they question their leaders, the number one tool is THE LEADER’S PAST.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE YOUNG AND HUNGRY ENTREPRENEURS GONE? WHAT IMPACT IS THAT HAVING ON SOCIETY?
When you hear talks and presentations from the last generation or two it is not uncommon for them to mention their first “job”. In fact many of them talk about how they earned money on their own before they were teenagers. That entrepreneurial spirit seems to be fading. What goes with it?
Here are three things I believe inspire and are motivated by entrepreneurialism which are hard to teach or train any other way.
1. SELF DISCIPLINE The desire to have your own money and the options of how to spend it motivate kids and adults alike. From the old stories of house wives who would sew a few dollars at a time into the hem of a dress so they could run away of the must to the kids who hid money in their shoes so of the school yard bully accosted them for milk money, the still had a stash - a few extra bucks hidden away is always a good thing. People who recognize this reality will go to great lengths to make sure they attain those bucks. Babysitters, newspaper delivery boys, lawn mowers, laundry folders have been a staple of American childhood for decades. All of those require discipline simply show up for the work.
2. CUSTOMER SERVICE FOCUSEarly on the junior self employed realize that sloppy work and rude behavior means less opportunity. Doing what the customer wants done, they way they want it done is critical. Those of us who started very young (I was seven when I started mowing lawns) learned that arguing with the person who holds the purse makes you sweaty and yet still broke.
3. TRUE INDEPENDENCE Freedom is nice. The freedom to come and go as you plead. The freedom to play whenever you want. The freedom to do nothing if you choose. Nice. But it’s hard to enjoy any of those freedoms if you don’t have money or parents willing to give you money to spend frivolously.
I believe leaders need to teach entrepreneurs to be go getters, customer centric and truly independent again. Not just how to complete a resume and W-4 form along with their I-9.

WHAT IF THE TOXIC PERSON IN YOUR WORKPLACE WAS YOU?
WOULD YOU KNOW IT?
WOULD YOU OWN IT?
I want to describe three basic toxic people which can be found in many if not most work environments. You decide if any of these describe you and whether or not you are willing to change.
1. GARBAGE TRUCKS
I get this one from Dr John C Maxwell. These are the people who show up in your work space and dump all their problems, challenges and issues on your desk. Often they are not expecting you to solve them or even offer ideas or solutions to cope. They are just misery in need of company.
2. NEGATIVE NELLIES
No matter what happens they have a negative, pessimistic world view and a loud vocal opinion to accompany it. They feel bad about even the most hopeful of circumstances and are not content until they convince other to feel poorly as well.
3. PICKED ON PEOPLE
Nothing which goes wrong in their life is their fault. Everything was caused by someone else. Likely because they “hate me” or “they are jealous of me”. This particular kind of toxicity is less obvious because it is camouflaged behind a false sense of pride and confidence. However, when a “big win” is expected by this person and it doesn’t happen, they blame everyone but themselves for the failure or missed opportunity.
If you find any of these tendencies in yourself you need to address them immediately. They will have a direct impact on your ability to get along well with others and eventually a direct impact on your promotability and hire ability.
Leaders especially must be SELF AWARE enough to know if they have slipped into these habits and correct them immediately.

YOUR MONEY HAS A CHAIN OF CUSTODY! DO YOU KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM? Does it matter to you as a leader?
In Congo and other similar places around the world, exports are highly scrutinized. In some cases it is illegal to export certain things like illicit drugs or banned substances. In other cases there is nothing illegal or illicit about the commodity, like diamonds, cobalt, avocados or cocoa but the process of harvesting them.
As leaders we must understand the difference because we can unwittingly be supporters of very bad, criminal behavior. Violent or even murderous acts have been carried out to harvest and export certain commodities. There are international laws and process rules in place to curtail this behavior but it continues none the less.
How about in your organization? Are there processes and systems in your team which are not as clean, pure and above board as they could be? Are there “grey areas” where the ambiguity of the rules play to the favor of the most successful seller or the most popular employee? Are there different rules for different ranking employees? Do these systems of ambiguity allow for mild forms of abuse of the system and potentially of others?
It’s one thing to guard your brand by protecting the quality standards of the product or service you offer the public (your commodity) its another level of leadership to guard the integrity of the system and the process. They “chain of custody” is equally important.

Who knew food could be a leadership tool for manipulation?
From the makers of “human food” who copyright and trademark the process to the impact of giant food mills on the quality of the food we have a global consumerism problem with food.
In many places on earth they are called “subsistence farmers”. Generally meaning, the grow food because they must in order to survive. Put another way, they live off of the land they live on. They are close to nature and close to the earth. They grow food for life rather than food for economic engine.
From the ways in which we grow, harvest, manage, manipulate food supply to the ways we consume it, we have created an unhealthy ecosystem. Fast food, loud noises, bright lights, fast pace and little human interaction all feed into the problem and the profit.
As leaders, we should be more intentional about the hurried relationships our team culture creates around food and nutrition. If you desire for your team to be mentally sharp, with life longevity and true prosperity, they must have time to rest and relax as they eat. A 20 minute lunch break is not only unproductive or it is truly counter productive.

DIGITAL NATION BUILDING. A NEW NORM IN LEADERSHIP?
WHICH PEOPLE GROUP REPRESENTS 2.5 BILLION PEOPLE, HAS ITS OWN GOVERNANCE WITHOUT ELECTIONS AND ITS OWN GLOBAL CURRENCY?
What is the impact on leadership thinking when the models of oversight, administration, nation building and national alliances are all turned on their ear?
How do we model going forward when every political system of the past 100 years is being silently sidelined in the shadow of consumerism?
Regardless the world view and political leanings, wanna be kings of small nations, rising dictators, drug lords and benefactors with great intent all share one practice.
They GIVE TO THE COMMUNITY to buy favor, security and the will of the people. Then they build large secure compounds and lock themselves inside so they don’t have to live by the same rules.
Leaders must understand the power of influence is not the same as the manipulation of the people. The ability to build trust, gain relationships and create buy in is not about heavy handed practices it’s about genuinely caring for people.
LEAD LIKE THAT!

THE WORDS YOU USE ARE THE WORDS YOU CHOOSE ARE THE THOUGHTS YOU THINK - TOGETHER THEY DESCRIBE AND DEFINE YOUR LIFE. It’s a loop my friends. A loop.
I suggest you get a serious grip on the conversations going on around your dinner table, with your friends over coffee or at work. Those conversations do two very important things.
-
They inform your mind on what is truth (whether it is or not). If you hear it often enough you believe it. Every time you repeat it, you deepen that belief. As you speak it and believe it it seems more and more true.
-
What your mind believes it acts in and causes it to become true in your life. EXAMPLE - an addict truly believes they will die without another “hit” of their addiction. Result is their body reacts by shutting down and operating incorrectly until the hit or fix arrives. TRUTH - fighting through this bodily deception is called withdrawal or DT. When the body has been made to submit, the perceived need subsided and eventually the craving too.
Your leadership conversations have incredible power to release strength in others or paralyze then for life. The conversation is in your control. The impact is significant.
Leaders must choose their words, their beliefs and their conversations carefully.

WHAT IS SOCIAL JUSTICE?
- What if the answer is so ambiguous only a select few can actual tell you what it is?
- What if that is by design because the artful vagary form of hypnotism is being applied in the process of using the words?
- What if both of those questions must be answered in the affirmative?
Social Justice has a definition and a purpose. It has an agenda, a plan and a political will of its own. The idea has been around since 1920 in Italy. Then it resurfaced again in German, then Russia, now it is making another run at dominance in the USA and is driven mostly by the UN.
Add in a few million confused people who truly believe they are doing good for their fellow man and soon you have a modern day movement which no one can define or defeat.
Like stabbing fog, every attempt to get a hold of social justice seems an act of futility.
Leaders must be clear on their core values, their definition and application of justice and possess a proper understanding of absolute truth.

TO WHOM DO YOU LEND YOUR VOICE?
If you have worked hard to build a reputation as a credible and integrity driven leader, one wrong alliance or friendship can sink your efforts.
Think of all the TV dramas where the confidential informant turns out to be feeding bad information to the police because they fear the bad guys more. Or think of all the times the undercover law enforcement actor is being watched suspiciously by the “bad guys.”
Most leaders don’t intentionally associate with such nefarious actors, but sometimes we forget the reputation of our friends can reflect on us. Guilt by association anyone?
In elementary school all the people with “coodies” would be avoided. This invisible plague could ruin your life if you got too close to someone who was ?infected?
In today’s social media world, that contagion can be as simple as a friends list. Perhaps someone you worked with years ago or someone you went to school with back in the dark ages but have seen in decades.
You accept a simple friend request because you remember the name and face from drama class and the next thing you know you a witness before Congress for a trial that didn’t happen four decades ago.
Guilt by association.
Now you must decide: To whom do I lend my voice? Whose side am I really on? Do I take this opportunity to support my long lost friend and rise all the reputation I have worked so hard to earn? Do I remain silent and simply but truthfully say, I DON’T KNOW.
Leaders need to have made that Core Values decision before the moment arises. If there ever is a moment like this five years from now, NOW is the time to decide how you will handle it. Not then.
To whom will you lend your voice?

LEADERS MUST BALANCE DISCRETION WITH AUTHENTIC TRANSPARENCY.
When you realize the magnitude of what you know you suddenly tremble with fear at the thought of what someone else, anyone else can know about you.
Last night I heard a poignant phrase on a TV drama I am found of called “Seal Team”. I know the show is made up and most of what happens is over aggrandized but this statement rings so true it must be considered by leaders of all levels.
“You cannot connect the dots you don’t have.”
In this particular scenario the team was in a hot spot because of significant piece of missing information. Their intel officer took the blame on herself and her commander offered her solace with the previous comment.
Ask yourself this: if a 15 year old can hack the digital life of another teen and cause SWAT to be called to their home, how vulnerable are you?
Do you create enough DOTS for your own undoing? Do you leave business and mission critical information in a place where unscrupulous people might gain access? Do you serve your clients in a way to make them vulnerable?
In this day of digital information way too many bits of information are at risk of “hijack” and discretion is a must.
Yet, even still, being elusive and coy with your team could cost you the trust of those closest to you.
BALANCE is key. As a leader you must know, who needs to know. You must also know what no one needs to know and you must MIND THE DOTS!!

ONE OF THE TOUGHEST ASSIGNMENTS AS A LEADER IS READING PEOPLE.
Some people are hard to read because they are introverts and don’t really want to be “known” anyway.
Some people wear their emotions on their sleeve making them somewhat volatile, unpredictable and hard to lead.
Some people pretend to be transparent, open, honest and direct but really they are manipulation everyone around them with deception.
Some people really are exactly who they say they are. No pretense. No manipulation. No deception. No agenda. No ulterior motive. They are rare and should be treasured highly. Their integrity makes them invaluable to a team or organization.
Leaders must learn to read the difference, know how to separate them from each other and deploy the right people skills to lead them well.
Sometimes, the best leadership of a deceptive and manipulative person is to lead them to another team.

#1- How we connect has changed.
This change requires serious intentionality to remain connected and relevant.This change requires serious intentionality to remain connected and relevant.
#2 - Controversy Sells
Viral podcasts can be created with controversy which increase ears and eye balls. This is a win for numbers, ie. views, downloads and sponsors. “Soap Boxing” can destroy a brand like any misused social media tool.
#3 - What You Need TO Get Started
Equipment needed for the podcast world is as varied as style, budget and audience.
You could spend as little as $30 for a cheap setup, or $30,000 for Michael Hyatt’s setup.
On average you should be good to go under $3,000.
#4 - Podcasting is Powerful For Platform
Regardless your industry, being recognized as a “go to person” is good for business.
The end goal is the double sided sword of access and expertise.
#5 - The Podcasting Trifecta
Impact. Influence. Income.
Whether you’re speaking about your expertise, driving customers to your website, selling a product, service or yourself, or selling sponsorships there is money to be made from podcasting.

Do you do too much for others?
Perhaps the better question is: HOW do you do too much for others? Is it possible to do more for others than you should?
I know employees and employers are constantly asking this question without using the same words.
Employees may sound more like:
- When can I get a raise?
- When can I get more time off?
- When can I get a promotion?
The employer may sound more like:
- When can I count on you to show up to work on time?
- When will you give me a full day with full focus?
- When will you keep with standards of excellence and expectations of performance?
The challenge for both sides is the idea of "getting what they deserve." Both parties come expecting a little more from the other. How often have you felt like you've done more than you were paid for? How often have you paid for a service or product and felt like you paid way too much for it or got less than you paid for?
We all face the same thing. Let me drop a secret of success on you. WHEN you give more than you are asked for or paid for, your current boss or client may NEVER MENTION IT! They may offer no raise, no promotion and no opportunity. Trust me, I have been there. HOWEVER, never assume that means NO ONE notices. Someone did, someone will and the result will be greater opportunity in the future.
Truly, the greatest benefit for you as a leader who does more than they are expected is the benefit of the person you will become along the way. A better person, a better leader, a greater success, is the one who seeks to do more than is expected of them.

WHAT MAKES YOU A LEADER?
How many people actually answer to you? How can you call yourself a leader if you don’t have a bunch of people who have to do what you tell them?
It’s easy to hear questions like this and begin to question yourself. I did. When I was asked about #LeadingLeadersPoadcast and how I could claim the title so to speak when I wasn’t on the top of a heap of people who were under my control it was depressing.
For a moment I thought, perhaps I should go apply at a fast food restaurant and work my up to shift supervisor so I can truly call myself a leader.
Then I recalled my first trip to the DRCongo ... enter dreamy music .... (you’ll have to watch the video for the rest of the story😬).

LEADERS LEARN FROM UNEXPECTED TEACHERS
Everyday we learn something, or at least we should. Only when we are ready and willing to admit, we do not know everything, are we willing to submit ourselves to learn something new.
There is an old phrase of ancient wisdom which states, "When the student is ready, the teacher will come." There is truth in this statement. Often times, the teacher has been around all along, but the student wouldn't heed the advice, learn the lesson or pay any attention.
Leaders are expected to be wise, mentors, teachers and guides. Leaders can often think more highly of their own smarts than they should. Humility becomes very important at this point.
Look for the blind spots. Look for the gaps. Become aware of what you don't know. Seek out the teachers who have that knowledge, regardless where they come from.
Watch the video to discover a recent revelation about podcasts which came from an unlikely source into my life.
HINT: Thank you Michael Hyatt and Amy Porterfield for connecting me with Boss-Moms®

What is #storypower and how does it apply to leadership, to business, to life?
StoryPower is the ability to transfer ideas, emotions and activation from one person to another through the use of stories.
Stories which carry real emotions and authentic elements of life have an incredible power to transform, to challenge, to inspire.
When I train Superheroes to utilize StoryPower it is all about capturing an incident which contains all the parts mentioned above and arranging them into a logical and persuasive order.
Most people hear “story” and launch into their life long saga. They want to convey a chronological recounting from birth to now. Such “storytellers” skip back and forth to include elements they forgot seconds ago, they explain in great detail aspects of history and relationships which are irrelevant to the point, they add or delete aspects of the story based on the time they are allotted.
All of these create an incoherent timeline, often a boring story and although some are emotionally dramatic stories they do little to inspire lasting or transformative action beyond the emotional reaction of the moment.
StoryPower as I train it includes some basic elements of brain science, quantum physics, psychology, and sales persuasion. We focus on energy, relevance, the power to engage without manipulating, brevity, and elaborate conciseness creating real opportunity to bring about lasting change.
StoryPower like that, is a tool for sales people, leaders, business owners and even parents. Visit the website to learn more about a “Superhero Lunch N Learn” for your team.

Can you lead your own brain? Can leaders truly bring transformation to the lives of those they lead?
Moran Cerf is a new name in my personal awareness while I am certain some of you already know of him. I rank his understanding and application right up there with Dr Caroline Leaf, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Daniel Amen and others who study and teach true brain science.
One question leaders have asked for generations is this: “How do you lead change among a team of people who are resistant to change?”
There is a process to be sure. In some cases it is a long and arduous process. In some cases it seems to happen as a natural albeit inexplicable course on its own. HOW CAN THAT BE? What is the difference between a seemingly painless change occurring and a change which costs time, money and team members?
I will not claim to solve that in a single session, but some of the learning I have gathered in the past week has lead me to an interesting conclusion worth pursuing. If you’re still reading and you’re intrigued. Watch the video for the actual revelation.

Good Leaders Incentivize Good Wins by J Loren Norris
Good leaders gather wins!
Good leaders look for opportunities to celebrate with their team. They mark the big wins and the little wins. As long as they are true wins.
Here’s how you can know a “win” worth celebrating.
- Bad for the individual, bad for the team 0/0
- Good for the individual, bad for the team - 1/2 win.
- Bad for the individual, good for the team 1/2 win
- Good for the individual, good for the team WIN/ WIN.
This seams really simple, but how often have you served a company, team or organization which had 0 concern for how the team wins affected you?
How many times have you worked for a team where one individual would strive to win even internal competitions at the expense of everyone including the team?
Good leaders look for the WIN WIN!! The create an environment where they can occur. They push their people to grow within the scope of the WIN!

DOWN TIME AND UPDATES. LEADERS NEED BOTH.
Leaders who don't take the time to unplug from the world and plug into their own resources will burn out!
Overwhelm, depressions, anxiety, stress related medical issues are all imminent when leaders try to burn the candle at both ends. At best you will be running on empty, not giving 100% because you are so depleted to begin with. At worst, your work, your relationships, your health will suffer and the end result could be an end to your career, your marriage or your life.
This is serious business! It is easy to see and ignore the signs. Like a digital device with a low battery or outdated software, glitches become common place. Exhaustion leads to frustration. Depression leads to isolation. Slow responses lead to no responses. Perhaps you have experienced that frustration with your device? You get so angry to begin to press the buttons harder, then poke then with strong intent, eventually you're basically STABBING THE SCREEN, as if the device will catch on to your anger and act differently. NOPE! Not gonna happen.
Your leadership will suffer similar behavior. Your team will experience the frustration and anger when you're not operating optimally. Your productivity and progress will slow and the quality of your output will suffer dramatically.
Take a TIME OUT NOW. Get a day away. Go fishing, golfing, glamping, bird watching, surfing, cruising, whatever you need to do. Unwind, refocus, reconnect with your vision, your purpose and your goals. You cannot do this life alone, but a burned out leader will have limited resources and burned out relationships. Protect them now.

How do you create RAVING FANS? Who are your RAVING FANS? Who should they be?
These are fairly simple questions to consider and answer if you are in retail, whether brick and mortar or online. If you “sell a service” or sell a product, every transaction is a new sale and likely a new or repeat customer.
Even drug dealers have established standards of quality and expectations of results. They know that certain customers will seek them out of they have a report of an OD on their specific brand - the assumption is it must be good stuff, the other person just wasn’t smart about how they used it.
The same is true with almost all other goods and services sold. Good products + Good results = Raving Fans. What is the equation for leaders?
___ + _____= RAVING FANS
I believe the equations for Leaders would include measurements such as the future success track of those being lead, the satisfaction in the role they serve in now, the amount of trust exhibited and exchanged between the leader and the team.
EARNED TRUST + GENUINE CONCERN = RAVING FANS
WHAT DO YOU THINK? What makes you a fan of those who lead you? As a leader do you even care if your team is filled with raving fans?

LEADERS NEED TO LEARN CPR FOR DREAMS!
How often have you met someone whose dream has died? Or maybe it’s not dead yet but seems to be on life support gasping for a breath of hope.
Too many people in life are struggling to make ends meet and at the same time shelving the dream, the passion, the summation of their gifts, to make it happen.
Leaders must be bold enough to dream on their own terms. Setting aside the fears of judgement, budget, embarrassment, and even success, leaders must pursue their dreams as a means of expanding their influence and impact.
Leaders must also recognize and revive the dreams of those they lead. “Motivation is like bathing,” says Zig Ziglar, “that’s why we recommend it daily.” If leaders don’t allow room for dreams to grow, an environment for them to flourish in and the realistic expectation that they one day will, then dreams are destined to die a slow and unnoticed death.
LEADERS' CPR FOR DREAMS
- CARE - Care about the fact that your people have dreams, goals and visions and you may not be a key part in it.
- PASSION - reigniting passion might eventually lead to your best people working on their own project but until they do they will work 10x harder for you.
- REACH - help people around you see a realistic path to reaching their dreams - your belief in them will go a long way.

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE?
I will share my own “working definitions” of freedom and independence.
In a recent conversation I was told by a national influence and leader they they felt their nation had fought to gain independence but didn’t know what to do with it and as a result have paid the price of political, social and economic instability for close to 60 years.
Some of the challenges have been geopolitical, some have been local and regional corruption, some have been outsiders taking advantage of all three.
What if you don’t perceive a difference between freedom and independence? How will that affect your leadership?

WHY IS IT HARDER TO LEAD 1 THAN 100?
Leading ONE might be harder than leading 100. Why is that true?
When leaders are responsible for a small team Of three to five people, there is a group mentality which kicks in. If the leader is a kind and caring person, the team will become like them in many ways and the culture of kindness will begin to flourish. If the leader tends to be rude and tyrannical, the team will also tend to follow suit.
When leaders are responsible for several teams and several levels of teams, there are multiple personalities at play in creating the culture. In other words, it is less a direct reflection of the nature of the leader and more an amalgamation of all of the most dynamic people in leadership.
The larger the organization, the more “tempered” the culture will be - most of the time. The exception would be when the top leader uses policies and operational documentation to manage or manipulate behavior. Rules which don’t serve the vision of the organization more than to satisfy the ego of the leader can be seen as extreme control or even narcissistic tendencies.
When leading ONE PERSON (besides self - SELF IS THE HARDEST) the dynamics change completely. Two people have more discussions, share direct opinions and feelings more readily and confront injustices quickly. Emotions are higher and conflict is deeper when there is no one to balance or break a tie vote.
This is why many partnerships and marriages fail. Co- leadership takes self sacrifice, patience, perseverance, resilience and thick skin.
If you have lead large teams and now are asked to lead a small team or you are venturing out on your own, things like delegation, shared work load, assignments - they are all on you! The spotlight and the curb are both equally yours. You will have to focus more on being the kind of leaders, the kind of person others want to be around.
“Law of magnetism. A leader tends to attract like people to themself.” John Maxwell

4 Leadership Lessons I Should Have Learned Sooner. by J Loren Norris @ Ziglar HQ 9/23/2019
0 Comments
J Loren Norris and Laurie Magers with the famous Ziglar pump.
**TRIGGER WARNING:
This video/ leadership lesson includes a conservative, Biblical world view, actual Bible reading and words such as Chick-Fil-A, Home Depot, work ethic and "shut up." Watch or listen at your own risk.**
WHAT HAVE YOU FAILED TO LEARN?
How many lessons have you heard or read and not absorbed? How many times have you been told the importance of leadership, relationship and excellence? How often have you not applied what you learned to your life immediately?
In this leadership lesson taught for the Zig Ziglar Monday Morning Devotional, J Loren Norris discusses 4 Leadership Lessons we have all heard, likely more than once, but not yet applied. He also uses a correlation between Marvel Comics and Bible verses to demonstrate and illustrate how valuable those leadership lessons can be.
Bottom line is this, all the leadership lessons, faith lessons and superheroes in the universe are without value, if the character of the leader is not developed in maturity and moral fiber.
TRIGGER WARNING: This leadership lesson includes a conservative, Biblical world view, actual Bible reading and words such as Chick-Fil-A, Home Depot, work ethic and "shut up." Watch or listen at your own risk.

What are three unavoidable CAN’TS every human must face and learn to manage to thrive in the life of a leader?
1. You CAN’T get out of this alive
The best you can do is do the best you can do, operate with excellence and leave a strong legacy for your team and offspring to follow. No one is counting toys at the end to declare a winner.
2. You CAN’T do it alone
Too many people want “all the glory” for themselves or they want all the control. They never share the reigns or the responsibility for wins and fails.
3. You CAN’T blame anyone else for your moral failure
People who fail to take responsibility for their own moral failure will ultimately fail altogether and usually very publicly. Whatever an individual will not deal with on their own does not become a forgotten secret, it becomes a leading news story.
SO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
SHARE THE LOAD AND SHARE THE GLORY.
PASS ON GREAT INSIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITY WHEN YOU GO.

“WALK WITH ME.” IS IT A “BLOW OFF” OR A PRIVILEGED INVITATION?
The first time you find yourself trying to ask a question or have a conversation with a leader in your life and they begin to move away be ready.
You might hear these words. “I really gotta go...” or “Walk with me.” Can you tell the difference? Do you know what to do? Do you know, as a leader when to use one tactic versus the other?
Sure, the nature of your specific relationship, the maturity of your relationship and the quality of your relationship will make a HUGE difference in your expectation as well as theirs but how they address this moment and how you react me also be a test!!
If you are not sure, watch the video, join the discussion and engage!

ITS AN HONOR TO BE INVITED - but I have no illusions, just big shadows to stand in.
There are experts, gurus, celebrities, household names, well known names, up & coming names and even “wanna be’s” in my space.
By space I mean those who speak professionally especially in the areas of leadership and personal development. Everyday another person raises their hand and says “I want to be a public speaker!” In fact Steve Sieboldsays new public speakers emerge at a rate of 50,000 per year.
When I joined the John Maxwell Team as a Founding Partner in 2011, I had no idea the caliber of people I would meet and become friends with. People who have spoken all over the world to millions of people, acted in major blocked buster motion pictures like Glenn Morshower and people who have literally changed the world with their wit and wisdom like Zig Ziglar and Bryan Flanagan.
I am humbled by the magnitude of the opportunity to stand in the front of a small and intimate group of people who gather to honor each other and a tradition started when I was still in diapers. This event Monday is free and open to the public and you are welcome to join us if you are in the DFW area. Laurie Magers and Tom Ziglar would welcome you with open and loving arms.
Forest Ward has all the details.

WHO DO YOU ATTRACT INTO YOUR LIFE? What about you draws them?
Many people complain about “their friends” without realizing its their friends they are complaining about.
Let me explain. If you have ever felt the strain in a relationship because of a new idea, opportunity or risky decision which popped into your head but couldn’t get anyone you know to agree it’s a great idea - you problem may not be your idea, but your friends.
It’s the old crabs in a barrel notion. Some folks just cannot sit idly by and watch others succeed. Not that they are jealous enough to take action and grab that success for themselves, they just live their life in a bucket of misery and well “misery loves company!!”
I realize this seems a bit negative. But it really depends on the magnitude of YOUR forward thinking influence. It has been my experience that human relationships are like an invisible game of emotional Tetris. We tend to fit into each others lives at any given moment based on the GAPS in our own lives OR THE GAPS IN THEIRS.
If you find a particular group of people always tend to migrate toward you, ask yourself: “What do I have to offer them which would be hard or impossible for them to find elsewhere?”
Also ask yourself: “What do I need to do to turn the bucket over so all these strange crabs can experience freedom and a fast of success for themselves?”
Leaders. Influence. Lead.

BUILD THE KIND OF PERSON OTHERS WANT TO BE AROUND by J Loren Norris
While you’re busy building a business, a 401k, a retirement plan and “future”, who is building your family and close relationships?
It is far too easy to become distracted with building a better life while forgetting the needs of the people you are building a better life for.
A few truths you must remember:
-
No one is getting out of this life alive. We all die.
-
When it comes to material wealth it stays behind.
-
80% of adult children would have preferred a closer relationship to their parents over a fat bank account. (totally made up stat)
If you lead, lead as a person whose examples in relationship, experience and authenticity are worth following.
Just watch a few of those “Soldiers returning home” videos and ask yourself, Am I the kind of person, who makes that kind of impact after a brief or extended absence?
If not, why not?

WHAT’S STOPPING YOU? Is it you?
Are you the biggest roadblock to your own success?
Have you lost sight of or given up on your own dreams?
Did you lose belief on your ability to achieve your dreams?
Has someone told you you’ll never amount to anything?
Did you buy into the lie that your best days are behind you and there is no hope for success ahead?
Honestly, every human struggles with one or more of these roadblocks.
What you believe about others and what you believe about you are the two biggest indicators of success becoming a reality in your life.
If you believe you are a victim and the whole world is about to get you and plotting against you, the likelihood you will even try is really slim.
If you believe you can do anything you set your mind too and not matter what there will be at least one other person cheering you on your potential for success will be 1000x better.
Here’s the BONUS FACT: only you control what you think of you and what you think of others.
Define your success.
Discover your purpose.
Create a plan.
Apply incredible passion.
TAKE MASSIVE ACTION.
Then know this: “You cannot pull on a seedling plant and cause it to produce fruit sooner - everything happens in time and at the proper time.” #MarieTv #everythingisfigureoutable #leadingleaderspodcast

SOCIAL MEDIA VS SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS. Can we truly define the meaning of either of them?
As we remember 9/11, I am shocked to current reality by a story of a young fan denied an autograph and all the “media attention” such a story evokes.
In the shadow of a day which literally changed the way we live in America the most talked about post in my “social media feed” with thousands of engagements is about a Jersey and an autograph.
Like “swatting” and licking ice cream and fighting for the camera - literally - we have seen the very nature of human behavior slide in an interesting direction.
Just ask Judge Cavanaugh how quickly social justice warrior can turn the tables with social media.
As leaders we MUST be clear and firm on our core values. Understand when you’re being “played” or “gamed” from someone else’s notoriety and refuse to participate. Know who you are and don’t allow people to use a MOMENTARY INCIDENT to redefine your life.

WHAT’S THE DANGER OF AN ECHO CHAMBER?
Watch the video to understand the damage it can present to your leadership.
No one likes to be “wrong”. No one feels better about themselves when EVERYONE DISAGREES. No one wants to stand out because they think and speak differently from everyone around them.
Whether it’s your accent or your ideology, life is just more comfortable when everyone around you seems to agree. When you’re in a leadership role, you have more power to cause this to happen, even unintentionally and even to your own demise.
Because no one wants to be singled out for thinking differently, we all “mirror” someone in our life. Children mirror parents. Pets in the same household mirror each other. Gang members mirror each other. Politicians, large companies and even solopreneurs can run into this phenomenon.
If you are a leader, you influence people around you, as you should. However, since they tend to mirror you and they want to please you, you are in danger of being surrounded by yourself. If you are not cautious, you will find yourself in an echo chamber.
Watch the video to understand why that is dangerous at any level of leadership.

WHAT DO TEENAGED DRUG DEALERS AND THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE IN COMMON?
- Is it power?
- Is it control?
- Is it love or hatred? Is it lots of money? Is it the number of people they are loved by or hated by?
- It’s influence. Nothing more and nothing less.
This is a HUGE reality in the shaping of cultural norms, societal behavior, consumer markets and criminality. Let me say something about the masses. Criminals don’t care about which laws are on the books. Write all the laws you wish to control the behavior of the masses. The one group who will not modify their behavior are those who can financially justify the “RISK VS REWARD” of breaking the law. In most instances, the reward follows the risk. The greater the risk, the fewer the competitors. The harsher the penalty the more the payoff.
Then there are those who are “masterminds” of criminality who look for every loop hole. They find ways to avoid arrest, keep their hands clean, let someone else take the fall and still reap the rewards for themselves.
In 2001 certain “over the counter” medications were moved to the “controlled substance” category. Thousands of meth labs were shut down and out of business over the next few years. Did the meth problem go away? NO - in Portland as one small example there are dozens of rehab clinics run by the local city and state government. They house mostly heroine and meth addicts in their 20s. There are also 60,000 college students of whom the dealers make prime market targets. The statistic at one time was close to 50% of people addicted to heroin in Portland are college age young people.
So if they shut down the labs how is the problem still around? CRIMINALS don’t care about the law. Greater risk. Greater reward. The Mexican Cartels saw a huge market opportunity. They started their own labs and now run the I-5 corridor all the way up the coast to a market of 30,000+ users and sell all they can.
Here’s my MAIN point. Laws which are manipulated under the guise of changing societal behavior only modify the behavior of civil minded NON CRIMINAL people to begin with. Creating greater risk for normal folks and higher reward for those who disregard the law to begin with.
This is a leadership lesson because “Leadership is influence. Nothing more. Nothing less.” Criminals have equal influence to the behavior of society as law makers. The question you better be asking yourself is who has a long term agenda you can tolerate the most.
Heads up people. It’s not what you think!

"I HATE VIDEO EDITING!" A leadership lesson by J Loren Norris
I HATE VIDEO EDITING!!
WHY DO I DO IT?
Maybe the better question to ask is why do I hate it?
After spending more than 20 hours this week “editing video” I have spent some serious time reflecting. I began to ask myself some deeper than surface questions and the answers intrigued me. I am confident the process will benefit you as well.
As I sat staring at the spinning lollipop on the screen I was just hoping for two minor miracles.
-
The first miracle was that the system didn’t crash, time out or give me yet another memory warning.
-
The second miracle was that I would not experience any of those things either. I find it easy to “lose my place”, lose focus, lose attention when I am deeply engaged and concentrating then - boom the “system has to catch up”.
It happens in MANY MANY areas of life. Leadership, relationships, communication, writing and even traffic. We become so focused on what we are doing, thinking or saying that we forget we have limited resources around us. Other people have focused concerns as well. Other people have needs which demand attention. Other people need us to pause for a moment while they mentally or emotionally catch up.
See the truth I have to admit is this. I actually enjoy video editing. I like the creative aspects. I find myself noticing and paying attention to other creator’s filters and colors and camera angles and sound applications.
What I don’t like is the demand of a process which requires a consistent methodology and large amounts of patience. Yes. I need to invest in faster and more robust editing equipment if I want to take my game to the next level. Yes. I need to spend more time elevating my skill level through diligent study and practice. Yes. I need to be mindful of all of the system and people demands around me as I am so laser focused on one task.
The same is true for you. If there is something you must do but you find frustrating ask yourself this: “Do I really hate this task or assignment or just the process? Do I need to be more disciplined and patient until the reward reveals itself?”

READ TO BECOME AN EXPERT NOT PROPAGANDIZED by J Loren Norris
IF LEADERS ARE READERS WHAT ARE YOU READING?
GIGO remember?
If the best insights, ideas and thoughts of your day come through social media, television, or magazines, your future will be significantly limited.
Your brain requires stimulation and challenge to grow. Your mind is not your brain and it is not “simply something the brain does.” Your mind demands constant attention to avoid attrition.
The books you choose to read, the videos you choose to watch, the conversations you choose to entertain will determine the quality of your future. Read along the lines of your interest, read along the lines of your career, your goals, your ambitions and even your hobbies BUT READ!
There are social issues today which boggle the mind. Indoctrination into ideas which were criminal to discuss in public less than a decade ago is now sold as necessary curriculum in elementary schools. Simultaneously the basics of civic and business and economic structures are absent.
If you are a leader, by that I mean influencer at any level, you have an obligation to be informed. By reading 5 books a year ON ANY TOPIC (as long as it’s the same topic) you will be ahead of 90% of the population.
Leaders who are readers EXCEL!!

Three Keys Leaders Apply To Lasting Relationships
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD LASTING LONG TERM RELATIONSHIPS?
Do you have what it takes?
Some of the longest running relationships seem to be filled with struggles. Struggles against life, struggles against each other and sometimes struggles against hope will rise up to challenge the veracity of your togetherness.
Relationships are HARD WORK. They require patience, tenacity, perseverance, resilience, determination, patience, forgiveness, hope, tolerance, patience and kindness! Oh, did I mention patience?
Whether you’re thinking of family, siblings, parents, cousins twice removed or employees, vendors or customers, EVERY RELATIONSHIP requires all of the above. Ironically, many people jump into marriage with the false belief that “love alone” will get you through.
Today, Karin and I celebrate 25 years of marriage. It has not always been easy. We have struggled together, struggled against life, struggled against each other. We have fought through addiction, homelessness, losing everything, starting over, raising kids, loving grandkids, and the instability of moving homes and jobs frequently. Love was a huge part of how we made it this far. But if we had not applied all those other elements, especially PATIENCE, we would have given up long ago.
Whether you are considering a life partner, significant other, marriage, business partnership or close employer/ employee relationship, here are three things I believe you will require for longevity especially in the face of adversity.
-
Common Vision (for the long term)
-
Common Goals (for the short term)
-
Patience (for every moment of humanity)
If you focus on being the best, most lovable, most likeable, most patient you, chances are your partner will follow suit. If you have common goals, common vision and patience - in the end you will have a winning team.

WHAT IS PROPAGANDA AND HOW DOES SOCIAL MEDIA APPLY?
The following two excerpts are copied without alteration from LinkedIn “daily run down”.
Pinterest users searching for terms related to vaccines will be directed to results from public health bodies. The social media platform says that to “tackle health misinformation,” searches for terms like “measles” and “vaccine safety” will now lead users to the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and the Vaccine Safety Net. The WHO announced recently that four nations have lost their measles eradication status: Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the U.K. are no longer considered measles-free.
Think twice about putting that round of cocktails on Instagram — your bank could be watching. That's according to researchers at the University of Melbourne, who say we can increasingly expect our social media usage — and what it says about our spending habits — to be factored into decisions made by financial institutions. The researchers argue this monitoring is just "one example of the increased privacy invasion taking place in the finance industry."
If you ever wondered who has the most control in the out come of elections, buying decisions, education, misinformation, public manipulation trust me when I say, “the Russians” have hardly scratched the surface.
In the military the phrase is “NEED TO KNOW BASIS” and apparently the American people don’t need to know the truth.
Leaders. Do your homework. Do not simply trust the “information” which was easiest to find. It might have been “fed to you” for the goal of misleading you or directing a certain outcome.
Soon the same “directed search results” will include your reputation (associations and hangouts?), employment history (social media check ins?), medical history (23 and me?), driving history (insurance discounts?)
The data is being gathered. It can and will he used against you in a court of law (or public trial by social media (doxing?).
You have the right to remain silent and you should consider it.

ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO CRITICIZE?
Have you ever been told how to do something by someone who obviously did not know how to do what they were correcting you about?
It happens to parents ALL THE TIME!! It happens to DJs, Drivers, mechanics, politicians, musicians and pretty much every professional in the world.
The NFL has “air chair quarterbacks”. The Church has “Monday morning preachers”. Parents have “expert children” who never had any of their own. The pediatrician has “family physician via Dr. Google”. Politicians have “media pundits”. Everyone wants and hopes and pretends their opinion matters. Most opinions are like socks.
However, there is a proper place for mentors, coaches, advisers and trainers. The true experts who have paid the price either in the form of advanced education committed with both time and money or by the pain of real life experiences. You can learn in the class room or the trenches but one way or another you will learn.
Here’s what you will learn. Leaders discover early on to sort opinion from fact, theory from practice and experience from conjecture. Leaders also learn that listening to the “would be experts” rather than the real ones could could you everything. It is more valuable to be corrected by the real experts than to be accepted by those with the most VOCAL OPINION.

Are you a BIG ENOUGH SPACE for your own vision to take root, grow and flourish?
Is your mind too small for what you’re made for?
Is your environment sufficient to GROW everything you are capable of?
Too many would be world changers are surrounded tightly by small minded people. Their ideas cannot flourish. Their dreams will not grow. Their hopes will be destroyed by jealousy, envy, comparison and competition! If you have big dreams, BHAGs and world changing ideas, you must be surrounded by people who have global sized thinking. Cosmic sized thinking would be better.
People who fear paper airplanes will never board a rocket!! You cannot launch surrounded by people afraid to fly. Grow you! Get free. “Comfort is a cage!” You’ll have to PM me if you want to know who said it! Leaders don’t tolerate small minded tribal thinking.
Leaders don’t focus on the minuscule. Leaders expand themselves and the environment around them. Give your dreams room to grow and make room for the dreams of others to grow as well.

“Wealth Redistribution” In A Capitalist Society
What happens when we “subsidize” personal responsibility?
What would “redistribution of wealth” look like? Are they related?
Who gets “paid” when big corporations get huge fines levied against them?
Who wins when entire industries are targeted for shutdown by the government?
I know this seems like a real stretch for a leadership lesson but remember my assignment is NOT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO THINK. I am only here to cause you to think, to provoke you to think, to inspire you to THINK! Oh. And to ask questions!
Leaders, real leaders instigate change which is directed at improving the lives and quality of lives for as many people as possible. LEADERS ADD VALUE TO OTHERS. Their focus is people not their own bank account.
Here is a strange and oft repeated reality. WHEN YOU ADD VALUE TO OTHERS MONEY TENDS TO FOLLOW. Generally speaking that is the purpose and power of capitalism and a free market. But it does rely on free will to choose who you do business with and how much. It also requires taking personal responsibility for the choices and actions which impact your own life.

DO YOU EXPERIENCE FEELINGS OF GUILT WHEN YOU SEEK TO IMPROVE YOUR POSITION IN LIFE?
It really is amazing how manipulative some people can be. From passive aggressive statements and veiled accusations to flat out deceptive emotional manipulations.
It happens in families where children are grown. It happens between teens. It happens in the office. It happens with weak and insecure leaders. When we feel like the last tool we have to “get our own way” or to control/ predict our outcomes rests is using a GUILT TRIP, we really need to check ourselves.
I am guessing most of us recognize such behavior in others long before we recognize it in ourselves. The power of a good leadership assessment tool like the 360 review will uncover some of the blind spots we can’t see, or won’t see.
If you have ever heard whispers, rumors or direct accusations of yourself using manipulative behavior, it’s time to get real. Not only is such behavior destructive to your team, it will scar your professional reputation and the level of your influence for years to come.
Leaders need to be focused on the needs of others and one way to do that is to focus on being better leaders and not using emotionally abusive pry bars to get results.

IS YOUR CAREER A “BARN FIND” or a “RESTOMOD?”
I know. This message seems to lean way to the side of the male audience but ladies if you will stick with me for the 5 minute duration of this video you will understand much more about yourself than you can imagine.
Many leaders live a life of deep regrets. As we age, we can see back further to all the “would’ve beens,” the “could’ve beens,” and the “shoulda beens” which have pick marked our lives.
That road map of failure and missed opportunity often becomes the scrap heap of a career. We long for retirement and hasten our way to sneak off the playing field without much fanfare or even notice. Heaven forbid they see us exit stage right and try to recount our inglorious past!!
I present you with a different option. Consider this new perspective.
WHAT IF YOU rather than becoming the scrape heap, rust bucket, set out to pasture applied the “barn find frame off restoration” idea and became a Restomod.
If you are intrigued enough - WATCH THE VIDEO and join the discussion. Then share it with another would be rust bucket to give them some hope and encouragement.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU DISCOVER A NARCISSIST IN YOUR MIDST?
Before to take action or counter measures do a little bit of research. Know the difference between true narcissistic personality disorder and those who employ narcissistic behavior because they have seen it work for others’ success.
Many people copy or imitate behavior patterns because they see no harm in the goal achievement and are oblivious to the other harm caused. How they react to the following responses will tell you all you need to know.
1. Boundaries!
Set them. Keep them. Be ready to fight for them because you will have to.
2. GET OUT. GET AWAY.
If the narcissist will not acknowledge and respect your boundaries you have only one option to protect yourself and your self worth GET OUT! And stay out. They will try to suck you back in and all the mind games will start over. Don’t fall for it. Don’t wait for it to blow over or get better. Just go.
3. Focus on a healthy YOU!
Get yourself into a new mental and emotional realm as quickly as you can. This does not mean isolation where you rehash all that was said and done. Nor does this mean commiserating with other victims of the same narcissist. You will not find much help or healing there. Set your sights, your mind and your time on what the ideal YOU would be and don’t stop that pursuit.
There is much evidence to suggest limited recovery or change in the heart and actions of someone who has NPD.
These three actions will be honored and respected by a normal person with narcissist tendencies as learned or contrived behavior. Know the difference for your own well being.

LEADERS MUST EXPOSE LIARS
Lies can destroy an organization. Lies can weaken trust, darken hope, damage relationships and forever damage professional and personal reputations.
Lies in an organization, just like in politics need have no bearing or relationship to truth. Simply presenting the lie first will make it seem more believable than a truth told later.
A classic narcissistic behavior would make up stories about other team members which have the effect of making others look bad and the narcissist look better. Accusations, declarations and simple slanders will do fine. Once the lies are told, anything which follows seems retribution or retaliation even if the latter set of facts are the only truth.
Leaders must be aware of such behavior and look for the advance warning signs. Most often a person with these tendencies will come highly recommended from people they have “fooled” in the past. They will be perceived as superstar high achievers and potential top performers. They have sold themselves well - especially in contrast to those they are willing to demean.
Remember the decades of wisdom in the words of world renown leadership guru Dr John C Maxwell: “We tens to hire people for what they know, then we FIRE THEM FOR WHO THEY ARE!”
Leaders be aware and thwart this behavior swiftly with extreme fortitude at the very start!

Practice 3 R's To Overcome Unplugged Communication
What happens when communication is “unplugged?”
Communication is a significant tool in the life and work of leadership. According to the “Law of the Lid” your leadership will never rise above the level of your own limitations. If your communication is a 4 out of 10, your leadership will not rise above a 4.
So what is the biggest challenge facing communication? CONNECTION!!
Let me give you three quick “R’s” to keep top of mind for communicating.
J Loren Norris
RELEVANCE
READINESS
RESONANCE
And of course all of these require relationship and responsibility!
Relevance answers the question: _______________
Readiness addresses the issue of: ______________
Resonance ensures the presence of: ___________
(Yup! You have to watch the video to fill in the blanks)
Practice these and keep your communication strong, and your leadership will continue to grow.

AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THAT!!
Seems like we are all too busy. To busy to work more? To busy to play more? To busy to learn more, be more, do more?
Ironically, we always seem to find time for the unproductive or counterproductive things in life. We can watch a sporting event for 3-4 hours. We can stare into space (watch television) or play video games for extended periods as well. But when it comes to “bettering ourselves” suddenly time slips away mysteriously and we cannot determine where it went. Baffling really.
Here is what I find true in my own failed disciplines. Time cannot be managed. How we use it must be managed. The key words for managing how we allocate time are PRIORITIES AND VALUES.
The truth is, we all MAKE time for what really matters to us. As Zig Ziglar noted in “Over The Top” we seem to get more work, chores and errands done the day before vacation than at any other time in our lives.” That is because vacation is a priority and we want to enjoy it to the fullest without the stress of things left undone. We value the time we will spend on vacation with friends and family as we hope to unwind so we pull out all the stops to insure it is not interfered with.
If you are a leader, and you have experienced this phenomenon you will notice how powerful it is as a motivator. You will also notice highly successful and influential leaders live as if EVERYDAY is the day before vacation.
Sure, we all get rushed and pressed and stressed. We all find interruption upon interruption and then even those get interrupted. We also experience delays, details and decisions which alter the course to success.
I challenge you to make it a point of determining your priorities and values so you can wisely manage how you use your time. You will never get it back.

Have you ever noticed the most expensive lessons in life were the ones you DID NOT invest in up front?
We all love to get a good deal. The BOGO or even BOGO 1/2 Off is worth the trouble to “hunt down” the deal or bargain shop. But everyone is leery of the “something for nothing deal” or the “too good to be true” deal.
For the 15+ years I have been in entertainment it has been the same. Everyone wants to budget wisely for their event and most consider the MC an afterthought. After all, everyone has access to Spotify - right? And my cousin went to Toastmasters once, she can make all the announcements. Sure. That will save you some money up front, but what is the cost of a WEDDING DAY DO-OVER? When the playlist bombs and the announcer says something completely unprofessional you cannot undo that.
Yes. This is just an example. We do a similar thing in hiring, in personal development, in leadership development for our teams. We buy used tires and get mad when we’re stranded on the side of the freeway - in August - in Texas - in Rush hour because of a blow out.
Listen. A worth while investment up front could save you TENS OF THOUSANDS down the road.
Leaders Invest In Themselves Because The Cost Of NOT Investing Is Too High!
Take a chance and invest in yourself and in your team while the cost is small. You will find the PRICE is not nearly as high as the value.

Leadership is IMPOSSIBLE without authentic, accurate and clear communication. What happens when others work hard to muddy your communication and intent?
From politics and media to parents and kids, from teachers and students to friends and family, there are thousands of voices clambering to be heard. Each voice is constantly shouting louder into the fray stirring up confusion over clarity.
Many of these voices are well intentioned but lost in the crowd become nothing more than background noise.
Some of these voices are misguided but firmly convinced they are serving a greater good.
Some of these voices labor feverishly with malice of forethought to create further confusion, contention and to complicate issues.
Mass media, social media and “peer media” all compete for attention and action. Everyday there is a new “tactic to gain customers or followers” and most of them require a new strategic use of social media platforms. Persuasive skills, communication tools and linguistic manipulation have become the norm in business, politics and education.
Leaders must learn and master the power of consistent, accurate communication. Repetition, repetition and more repetition will be necessary to combat the voluminous amounts of misinformation and useless information.
Leaders will only win this war with a persistent preponderance of truth.

What if equality is a myth?!
“Socialism is a great idea. It has never been a great reality.” Thomas Sowell
I grew up with the idea “the rich get richer and the poor go broke and it’s the Rich’s fault.” I did not know until recently (studying Thomas Sowell) the idea originated in Marxism.
Sowell goes on to talk about the conditions of the poorest of the poor and whether or not the natural occurrences of poverty can be compared with institutional causes of poverty. Fascinating discussion.
He also makes a very important point around the notion of equality/ a return to equal standing. In noting the economic strength of former slaves grew at a rate greater than two times faster after slavery was ended and before “governmental policies intervened.” Asking a profound question: was liberty better than welfare?
Dr. Jordan Peterson makes a strong point in this area of discussion when he asks “Can you tell me, before we debate the economic and political policies which could shape the world as we know it, is your room cleanly and neatly organized?”
He goes in to draw the illustration which many of today’s youth seem to gloss over. You have equal power, rights and authority to clean up after yourself, manage your own belongings be they many or few, and to be ultimately responsible for your corner of the universe. If you fail or refuse to do so, why would the remaining portions of the universe want to follow your lead?
Thomas Sowell says clearly, “I was a Marxist because it made sense... until I did my own thorough research.”
Leaders need to understand: nature is not balanced, fair and equitable. Nature is harsh and unrelenting. Life is natural and expecting institutions to override nature to create equal outcomes will likely end in disappointment at best - catastrophe at worst.

Don't Be A Bully - Lead With Love!
ARE YOU A BULLY?
I was recently talking with a client about their work environment. It is amazing how drastically the work place has changed in the last few decades.
In similar fashion to the #meetoo movement what was once widely acceptable and expected in the way of conversation is no longer tolerated. You simply cannot talk to people like that any more!
In short, if you have not changed your communication style and word choices since your first job out of high school in 1975, you should be updating your resume and your sensitivity training at once.
Ironically, geography may be the determining factor in some language and terminology decisions. As an example, in the south (Bible Belt) the use of profanity is considered offense except under extreme conditions. Referring to people or addressing them with profanity might we be fighting words and land you in serious hot water for disrespect or even insubordination.
However, you could be fired or worse for using the wrong pronoun if you work in Seattle, San Francisco or similar minded locals. You should know this if your job requires travel. You might be a bully and not even know it. Seriously.
Bottom line is this: Bullying is ABOUT HOW OTHERS FEEL when the encounter is done. LOVE is accepting, forgiving and appreciated by ALMOST everyone. Leaders should approach everyone with love, respect and dignity whether you agree with their lifestyle, their logic or their lingo or not.
Lead with love.

Leaders Handle Rejection Wisely
What if rejection could alter your future from your past? Would you want to crush rejection now?
Many leaders, myself included have struggled with rejection in the past. We have felt the sting of betrayal. We have know the emptiness of abandonment. We have lived with the bitter taste of mockery and comparison after a relationship ended wrong.
The results of rejection are as multiplied and varied as are the causes. Anger. Hostility. Resentment. These emotions often lurk just beneath the surface for those familiar with rejection. Sadly, one major result of rejection is the attachment to self worth which cause the question: “Am I really any good for anything anyway.”
Worse yet is when this question of self worth causes ya to go on the offense and reject others before they can reject us. What a vicious cycle of destruction that can be.
If you have been rejected, whether as a leader or before, you need to learn to view yourself differently. You need to adopt a healthy and balanced view of yourself and to focus on the good you bring to others. Finally, practice a more open acceptance of others in order to break the cycle.

Patrick Lencioni #GLS19 said “there are only two types of leaders: SERVANT LEADERS and those who want something REWARD SEEKING LEADERS.”
Which one are you? Do you offer yourself for the betterment of others? Do you give beyond your title, your role and your Nolen benefit? Do you do the work which seems “beneath you?” If so, you are likely a servant leader.
If you want leadership roles in your life because of the “fun”’of the notoriety, the power and authority you wish to exercise over others and the fat paycheck... you might be a reward seeking leader.
I encourage you to get Patrick’s book and do more homework on the issue. But let me suffice it to say this: Leadership requires a right heart, right motives and right thinking about others. There are loads of selfish people in this world with selfish motives. There are also loads of people with a right heart who want to help others. The latter will rise to the top in influence with our without the title of LEADER on their name plate or resume.
Be that kind of person.

What do you demonstrate? Is it intentional? Is it dynamic?
I have been working with a client who is developing a new training program around advanced communication skills.
When she has rolled it out to the public for the first time, I will make sure you have access. It’s going to be really powerful. One of the aspects we are sharpening together is the power of proper demonstration and it strikes me today that many of us demonstrate without intent.
Let me say that in the John MAXWELL way “People do what people see.”
Many leaders and communicators demonstrate through unspoken emotions what they would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS say out loud especially on purpose.
Just remember how often your presence enters the room before your body does, before your words do. Be intentional about HOW you enter.
That’s all I have to say about that - watch the video and be ready to seek out 4D Connections with Laurel Rolls after September 15th when the public has first access.

Is there such a thing as an outdated idea? Where do rules and laws originate? Are they always just? Do we ever outlive bad ideas?
This is a serious question which I believe requires serious thought. I also believe there is a movement in human evolution which drives against any rule or law for perceived freedom, liberty and independence which is actually a different form of bondage and slavery. Trading one slave master for another is not freedom.
Have you ever asked “Why was this rule or law created to begin with?” “Who was behind the creation of the rule?” “What purpose did enforcement of the rule serve?”
I know this is a heavy topic which demands much thinking and discussion and 5-8 minutes is simply not enough time. But if we cannot begin this discussion among leaders, who will discuss it? If we don’t apply some time to addressing the rules we live by, one day well have no rules and we will live by anarchy.

Who does the President serve? Who does the Soldier serve? Who do all elected officials serve?
“The Oath of Office: I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States”
As Americans of the United States, live under a form of government nearly 250 years strong. Not a democracy in the truest sense, not a totalitarian government, not an oligarchy or anarchy but we live in and serve a representative republic.
The soldier, the law enforcement officer, most elected officials take the very same if not extremely close to the same oath of office as the President of the United States. Notice the last line...
That’s right, the Constitution. WHY?!?
Because in the wisdom of our Founding Fathers, MEN (and women) ARE CORRUPTIBLE. They can be “bought”. They can be persuaded, manipulated and mislead. They can be bribed, threatened and held hostage until their minds are changed. The constitution does not suffer the same fate. It is beyond threat - except by those who refuse to trust it and abide by its policies.
Great leaders require a common value system which supervises their own decisions. A value system and set of ideals which supersedes their own opinions. For a corporation those are bylaws and charters. For non profit organizations they will be similar. For religious institutions there are Holy Books and ancient texts.
When humans abandon ideals which have been tried and true, anarchy ensues. Anarchy is the worst form of democracy - mob rule, no one wins!
Leaders need to commit to values, principles and ideas and stick to them at all costs. The time tested ones have stood the test of time for a reason.

What is corruption?
What should Leaders do about it?
Especially in the world of politics corruption is a serious resource problem. Corruption is a mismanagement of resources; Human Resources, natural resources, financial resources and relational resources. When these things are mismanaged or manipulated for personal goals or personal gain, corruption can destroy entire national economies.
Sadly, such corruption does not stop with high level government officials. Corruption effects businesses of all sizes, churches, families and communities. Even high school football teams and peewee t-ball teams can be crushed by corruption.
Leaders need to operate with an extreme level of integrity to avoid corruption. Leaders must also be willing to challenge and “call out” those who are practicing corruption.

GREAT LEADERS DO THE RIGHT THING.
Poor leaders not only DON’T do the right thing, the teach and reinforce doing the wrong thing.
Customer service is a critical skill, especially in retail where every day is a new handful of customers. Generally speaking this includes honesty, integrity and character. Fair pricing, consistent treatment and a willingness to admit wrong.
Recently I had what I can describe as a less than pleasant and surprisingly poor representation of these qualities. Not only from the first line clerk but from the entire “chain of command” did I receive lies, threats, dishonest negotiation and an utter lack of concern for DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Sadly, I am convinced, all of the tactics they tried to used would have worked on 70% or greater of their normal client base. Playing on the ignorance or unawareness of your customers IS NOT GOOD LEADERSHIP to train your staff and it’s pitiful customer service.

Pay attention to Field of Focus. Depth of Field & Perspective.
We already know “you will get more of what you focus on.” That’s why we teach young drivers not to stare at the oncoming head lights - you will unintentionally drift into them.
We also know perspective matters. How you look at things changes the magnitude of the thing - position, angle and light play huge roles.
Finally, we also know the distance we place between ourselves and the subject makes a huge difference in the detail we can detect.
All of these ideas are true visually, but have you ever considered the mental, psychological and emotion ability to do the same?
Leaders must manage focus, perspective and detail in their communication and relationships. How you are perceived and what others focus on will be largely determined by the details you reveal to those closest to you.

REJECTION IS AN ATTITUDE!
Don’t let rejection or the fear of rejection derail your destiny.
By definition attitude = thoughts + feelings.
Rejection is how you feel when the thoughts of others influence your thoughts of yourself.
Parents feel rejection when their kids rebel.
Teachers feel rejection when students don’t progress.
Coaches feel rejection when teams don’t thrive and win.
Bosses feel rejection when their employees mock, deride and undermine them.
Leaders feel rejection when their ideas are not adopted and activated toward success.
Everyone feels rejection when they compare themselves to others... usually we compare our worst to their best - or their illusion of best - and we see ourselves coming up short.
It is the FEAR OF REJECTION which becomes an attitude in the way of our destiny. It influences our decision making, relationship building, risk taking and day to day confidence or resolve.
Your destiny could be stolen from you by the fear of rejection whether the actual rejection is real or imagined.
The same is true of those you love and those you lead. They crave and need your acceptance. They need to know that even if they fail miserably you still support their effort and encourage the best intent in them. Your words of positivity and your loaned belief could be the very asset they need to push past the fear and find their greatest dreams realized.
Don’t let rejection derail your dreams, your destiny or the destiny of those you lead.

“I am not your friend, I am your boss.”
This Attitude has gone the way of the dinosaur. Friendliness is a top trait to exercise for leaders.
To be absolutely clear: friendliness and friendship are not the same. But tyrannical dictatorship and leadership are not either. There remains a need for proper protocol and protection of information while maintaining respectful and respectable relationships.
As AI continues to grow at a break neck pace and threatens to replace every human interaction from ordering a Big Mac to hiring an Uber, how you get along with other humans will be critical.
Friendliness with absolute strangers and camaraderie with coworkers will be essential to success as the day of machines dawns around us. Who you can trust as real and authentic will become more and more challenging.
Begin now to entertain and express interest in other humans. They are without a doubt the most valuable capital investment you can make as a leader. Make friends. Be transparent. Be vulnerable (but wise). Build trust. Lead strong.

When LinkedIn tells you, as they did in today’s updates, it seems people who “Play the job Swotheroo” seem to earn more. WHAT?!?
“”In the latest sign of a strong job market, employees who jump from job to job are getting bigger paychecks than their counterparts who stay put, per a recent report. And companies in the technology and construction sectors are giving the largest pay raises. On average, workers who switched jobs saw wage growth of 5.3% in June from the previous year, according to an ADP Research Institute report. “The tight labor market is pushing companies to pay more,” per ADP.”””
How do you lead with impact when you are constantly changing jobs or swapping out appointments?

Privilege? Or perseverance, priority and persistence?
Yes, some people have an easier start to life than others. Some find themselves in better circumstances from birth due to decisions made by their parents and grand parents. Sometimes those circumstances were imposed upon them by culture, societal norms, and demographics.
Sometimes those circumstances were based on educational limitations, access to education or even a limited ability to learn, retain and apply education. But for every single person where this is the case, there is another for whom the circumstances started off very similar and the outcome was drastically different. WHY!?!?!?
Determination. Persistence. Commitment. Priorities. Patience. Humility. Work ethic.
In short D E C E S I O N S.
CHOICES.
Leaders must make choices, influence choices and expose opportunities for what the truly are, decisions.

Are you disillusioned? What illusion were you under to begin with?
How many ways have you been deceived? How many times have you been deceived? Are your eyes playing tricks on you? Or has the trickery been intentional on someone else’s part?
Truth is we all have a loose relationship with what we “know to be reality!” Whether by trickery, deception or just wishful thinking, what IS TRUE is often different from what we hold to be true. Often the difference is a simple as ignorance and by that I mean limited knowledge or awareness.
Spending some time in self discovery and reflection is very helpful. Spending time observing others and asking them genuine, curiosity based questions is another way to remove perceptions, deceptions and masks.
If you are a leader, the truth is well worth pursuing. Know the truth. It is the fastest path to freedom!

If you have ever missed an appointment, you know the anxiety which follows.
LEADERS PREPARE FOR COSMIC APPOINTMENTS
How long before I can reschedule? Will this person still trust me to show up after this? How can I prove my trustworthiness in this relationship? Will they hire me now?
If you miss the port call when the cruise ship leaves, you have a long swim home. The captain is very concerned about your well being when you are on board, but if you decided to stop at one last shop at your shore excursion, all the excuses in the world won’t get you back on the boat once they have set sail.
You might have missed an appointment with a prospective employer, employee or client. You might have missed an appointment in time which only the cosmos was aware was a possibility or potentiality at that very moment, in that very place.
Keeping your commitments goes way beyond punctuality. Keeping your appointment commitment is a rendezvous with destiny hanging in a serendipitous balance of opportunity.
Leaders must keep their appointments.

What is your most valuable asset? Education? Experience? Bank Account? Friends?
Leaders need to be willing to look deep inside if they are “treasure hunting” to discover the value of themselves.
It’s not your education but how you apply it. It’s not your experience but how well you can convey the lessons learned for someone else to employ. It’s not the bank balance but the ways in which you give and invest in others with the resources. It’s not your friends nor their celebrity but the value you bring to them which makes connections an asset.
Beliefs drive more action than anything else. What you believe to be your assets will get time and attention. What you don’t believe to be your assets will get little attention and little action.
Deep introspection is required for leaders to discern what we truly believe to better align our actions and assets. Without a deep dive, we risk not delivering to the world all we have to offer to meet the immediate needs and demands.

What makes you angry? Or what is anger? Leaders need to know both answers.
The nature and climate of our current culture is a fascinating part of human evolution. The rate at which society is changing and the factors which are causing it might blow your mind.
Anger. Frustration. Finger pointing. Outbursts of rage. Violence (in the streets and in the work place). Distrust. Jealousy. All of these are expressions of emotions out of control. And dare I say they are intentionally provoked by some for financial gain and others for political gain.
This is a problem. Fellow JMT leadership coach and crisis intervention specialists Veronica Sites knows better than I do the impact unresolved conflict has on the work environment. But I can tell you this: much of the problem we face in culture wars today stems from a lack of personal accountability, an inability to control our emotions, unfettered license to misbehave without consequences and the common thread of such behavior all around us.
As leaders, we need to get a grip. First on our own emotions, second on an understanding of what is provoking those we lead and how to counter it.
My friend and licensed Counselor Brady Daniel will tell you Anger = fear + pain.
If you can discover what causes your team fear and pain you can abate the anger before it causes damage.
Leading with compassion is required now even more than ever before.

What are the strengths and talents of the people you lead? If you don’t know, how can you hope to lead them well?
It might seem when you encounter a great leader that you have met a mind reader. Chances are you have met someone who is intuitive toward and compassionate about the people they lead. They have “done their homework” about the people around them. They understand the motivations, curiosities, concerns and meaning which drives them.
If you lead others, take time to utilize tools which analyze and provide a snap shot look at the hearts and mind of the people you lead. #CliftonStrengths is a great tool for understanding your people. It is one of my favorites. #DISC is also a great insight into the way people think and respond to various engagements. If you are not sure where you are as a leader, John Maxwell Team has created a powerful assessment tool to get a barometer of your own strengths and weaknesses. The Leadership Game is another tool which make learning fun. If you are interested, ask me, I can connect you to people who are Certified to employ each of these tools.
I recommend you employ these tools as soon as possible. Know your people. Know yourself. Know your paths to successful leadership.

WHAT LEADERS DO: An analogy.
While we all enjoy the feeling of eating a good robust meal, we don’t all have to time prepare one.
If you consider the time, effort and expense of harvesting the meats or proteins, the veggies, the fruits, the grains necessary to complete your nutritional food pyramid for one meal, your mind would already be exhausted.
But you still must cut and slice and dice and season and cook or chill this harvest to create a “dish”.
Seriously, it is the reason fast food or restaurants stay in business. WHO HAS TIME FOR ALL THAT?!?
Someone must gather, prepare and deliver what keeps us alive if we are going to be productive in so many other areas of life.
A leader must be able to gather, harvest, process, prepare and deliver insight, information, education, expectation and more. If your team is busy “getting the real work done” you should be busy preparing the “meal of personal growth” for them.
Gather the data, harvest the best ideas, season then with synthesized understanding, marinate them in useful application and deliver them in delectable bite sized morsels to be devoured on the fly. Lead like a mental, emotional chef.
That is the role of a leader.

Passion without process is poison. Let that sink in to your business plan for a minute.
How many people have you encountered who have a great passion for their business or hobby but attack their passion with no systematic approach and no help? Like a kitten in a paper bag violently running one side to the other, struggling against imaginary barriers, becoming exhausted with all the effort yet success eludes them.
Perhaps you have experienced the same battle. Working feverishly to “do it yourself” as though proving you can succeed alone is more import than the magnitude of your success.
I believe it happens for one of three reasons.
-
We refuse to share the glory of success with anyone else. We would rather have 100% of nothing than 20% or millions.
-
We don’t have the trust or tolerance needed to partner with others in the work we must do.
-
We have no actual plan or system to get the work done so we run ourselves crazy with overwhelm trying to prove our worth to everyone else. Often to realize the people we were trying to impress weren’t even paying any attention.
Take some time to develop partnerships where you can develop a plan and divide the load or you will soon find yourself in burnout.

Training your own RAS is the beginning of neuroplasticity. Effective Leaders do it well and often.
Your memory and recall are not the same. Scientists now tell us we technically never forget something we experience. The question is, can we intentionally and selectively recall the information when we need it? Can we CHOOSE NOT TO RECALL the information which does not serve us well?
The connection between the MIND and the BRAIN is one thing. The connections between the BRAIN and the rest of the BODY is something entirely different. Stress hormones, emotional energy, inflammation, sweaty palms, nervous stomach, these are all biofeedback markers which often warn us of highly stressful or intense situations. Sometimes however we find our body responding with these markers, when the situation does not warrant them. WHY?
Because something in our subconscious past has been triggered by the other senses in our body and released the emotional sequence inside without regard for what we are consciously thinking about.
A old friend calls and a flood of emotions rise up in you. A feeling of euphoria or nostalgia my overwhelm you. Likewise a boss or a bully from years back could cause a negative sequence of emotion and hormones such as rage or frustration.
By training the RAS in advance, you can better predict the emotional responses to suit your day.

Leaders beware! Apathy leads to atrophy!
If you get careless as a leader, soon enough you couldn’t care less.
It’s easy to get wrapped up you your own drama. What’s going on at home, in family relationships, in personal finances and forget about the deadlines and challenges at work. The opposite is true as well sometimes we are so focused on work we seem uncaring about all those other relationships outside of the bottom line.
Remember this, the rest of your team is made up of humans too.
When we get cloudy in our focus on others, we forget they also have lives and needs and families and personal drama. A myopic leader doesn’t have the capacity to care about those problems in someone else’s life.
If you allow yourself to compartmentalize issues in order to steer around them you may seem uncaring. If you allow that perceived apathy to stay, others will eventually become convinced you you care about them at all. Soon, you will not be kept in the loop. You won’t know when a team members os truly hurting or in trouble in some way.
Don’t lose focus on goals and objectives, but remember to care for and about the people you lead while you still have the right and opportunity to do so.

Leaders do what must be done. Not what their title decrees.
How often have you seen a real leader look down on a job or task?
How often have you seen a power hungry manager with a title do the same?
Generally a real leader knows they MUST DO what MUST BE DONE because the team goals and team success matter far more than the prestige of the title leader.
If you are a leader. Lead. Don’t wait. Don’t watch. Don’t wonder. Don’t wander. Lead.
Get busy doing the right thing. Others will follow your lead before they will follow your commands.

Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who DON’T LEARN HISTORY have little choice.
As we celebrate America’s Birthday and Independence I want every leader of every level to reflect for a moment and ask yourself “have I actually searched beyond what I was intentionally taught to discover the truth?”
Now I am not necessarily claiming a conspiracy theory, but as an American Veteran, I know I am still discovering things about my country’s history which I did not learn in school and did not stumble across in daily life.
As I have spoken with friends who are naturalized citizens, I realize how few people born in America could have passed the citizenship test.
I travel with a team to teach leadership and democracy to leaders in other nations. There are a few people on the team who are former political leaders of enormous stature. There are historians, professors and religious leaders. I learn from them EVERY TIME!!
It is true, leaders are readers. If you don’t learn history, how could you ever learn from history?
Celebrate July 4th with gusto! Have a family picnic, go fishing, camping, imbibing or how ever you choose to celebrate, just remember those who sacrificed EVERYTHING for you to have the privilege and get to know the WHY behind their sacrifice.

The best coach in the NFL cannot win the Super Bowl without a team of players who follow the game plan, do their homework, and execute the play calls with excellence.
No executive coach, life coach, leadership coach or communication coach can bring you or your organization to a greater level of success all alone either.
Many of the better coaches and mentors I have worked with as peers or as mentors and coaches I have hired to improve me, now have “responsibility clauses” in their agreements. The purpose of the clause is to point out this simple fact, EVEN THE BEST IMPROVEMENT PLAN ONLY WORKS IF YOU DO!!
If you don’t have a coach, mentor or advisor in your life you might need to consider the investment. The value of a third party objective opinion is priceless.
To find someone who is committed to your growth and success, willing and qualified to invest in you, and able to draw the best out of you is a goal to be achieved.
You deserve to remove the blind spots, improve your relationship skills, develop your vision, understand your own deep seated beliefs and be free of the baggage other wounded people have left at your doorstep.
But even with the best coach, you will still have work to do. Develop a plan. Work the plan.

Connections require conscientious commitment. Selfishness and self awareness are not compatible.
Many people in business for themselves attend networking events to meet new people in an attempt to grow their business.
One challenge I see for many people, myself included is keeping the focus on BEING RELEVANT FOR OTHERS! When we attend such functions with a focus on what we can get, we lose sight of the bigger picture. When we focus on whose life we could impact positively we find huge opportunities to grow and expand our network even further.
I can tell you for certain, the business connections and friendships which have expanded my circle of influence from my own neighborhood to international speaking opportunities have all come from GIVING of myself freely rather than trying to eek some new business.

Leadership demands a feedback loop.
Managers and employees alike need to know where they stand.
Expectations like communication are all too often left at the door. Meaning everyone assumes they have been expressed, received and understood when they have not.
It is hard to live up to unknown expectations. As a result, there is an impression of failure on the part of the employee, student or team mate who did not accomplish the task to meet the standards never understood. This perceived failure often leads to a harsh and less than flattering review. This less than flattering review leads extended poor performance, employees disgruntled with management and eventually to employee turnover.
This same frustration is directly impacting the bottom line. WHY? Because the expectations were not clear. The feedback loop included a pronouncement and possible punishment of missing a misunderstood goal or expectation.
If you are a leader, expectation is your role! Be clear about what your expectations are. Be fair about what your expectations are. Celebrate every small accomplishment toward those expectations.

Niche marketing is a daunting task. What is my niche? How do I reach them? How do I build know, like and trust with them?
Who do you like to do business with? My guess is your reflexive answer is “people who have money to pay me for what I do!!”
That is likely true, but wouldn’t you also agree, there are certain types of people you so enjoy working with you would almost be willing to serve them for 1/2 the price?
Would you also agree you have had customers you would like to charge 500x the regular price just so they won’t call you again? No payment is worth the headache some customers bring you. Right?
One other truth about finding “good clients” is the plethora of marketing and advertising mediums and modalities we are confronted with today. How do you stand out as one among billions? It is for this reason Susan Hamilton founded Offbeat Business Media and Offbeat Business Alliance. Watch the video to understand better.

Sharpening requires FRICTION. No axe, knife, razor can have a refined edged without friction so it is as a leader. Friction comes in community and culture. When we surround ourselves with people who rub us the wrong way we have an opportunity to be sharpened. Leaders must be willing to ask the tough questions, not of their team, but of themselves. Am I leading well? Am I caring for others in my charge? Am I compassionate? Am I willing to learn? Am I correctable? In community you can be sharpened ONLY if you give people permission to answer those questions for you, with honesty. Who do you allow to correct you?

Are you playing peek-a-boo with your own success?
We all hide from what scares us most.
Sometimes we hide from what we love too. We cover our eyes then close them right and almost in disbelief open them again is astonishment.
Leaders are often held at bay of their own success because they feel undeserving. Oh they want the success. They crave the end of the struggling. They long for a day when finance is not the biggest worry. They hunger for the one chance to say “I MADE IT.”
At the same time, they hide behind today’s minuscule challenges and make excuses for fake failure.
How do I know? Because I’ve done it. I do it.
Why don’t we run full force with all we have toward the dreams and goals which light up our heart?
Why don’t we listen to those around us when the encourage us?
Why don’t we leave fear in the dust and proclaim with gusto and determination HERE I AM?
Oh yeah - THERE SHE IS - THERE YOU ARE!

What if it doesn’t belong there? What if you introduce a “foreign body” into your culture or environment?
The same thing which happens in the human body. The violent reaction of infection, illness, rejection which is designed within the astounding physiological machine we abide in is just like the reaction a culture experiences to something which doesn’t belong.
As leaders at any level, you must be on guard to protect and curate ideas, phrases, practices or habits which are contrary to the stated vision and practices of your team.
Furthermore, you must guard your own mind, emotions and choices with the same level of violent reaction to what does not belong.
Finally, you must guard your team against team members who desire to wield influence not consistent with the team culture, vision and purpose. Otherwise, there will become an internal revolt. The system will malfunction, rest will be sapped away, functionality will be significantly reduce and productivity will grind to a halt.
Like the food you eat, the words you hear, the thoughts you entertain and the people you allow to influence you will all have a profound impact on your balance and wellbeing.

Leaders must clearly express a strategic plan for others to follow.
Do you have a vision for yourself, for your team, for your goals?? It’s needed that a leader have a vision. It is required that a leader have goals. But while a powerfully compelling vision and a set of SMART goals will get a leader moving in the direction of result, a solid strategic plan is required for others to participate. How clearly have you laid out the plan to achieve the goals? How well do team members and those contributors outside your team understand their role? Have you articulated the role, activities and expectations for each individual who will bring this vision to life? This may not yet be a white board planning session or video conference with every participant - IT MUST BE FIRST A CONVERSATION IN YOUR MIND. If you have not thought it through and meditated on the execution of the dream or vision - it is still not more than a wish. GET BUSY THINKING LEADER!

What happens when you skip a step? “How bad could it be?” Right?
There is power and purpose in the process. Sometimes the process is the purpose more than the completed project.
Short cuts and hacks abound in today’s instant millionaire world of social media gurus. Everyone has an easier way, a path to riches, a faster way to get the thing done - whatever the thing is.
Trust me when I say, skipping a step could prove fatal. Take time to evaluate the process and review every step. It is often the smallest piece or part which carries the highest price when over looked.

This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free!
Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead.
