Show notes

Get ready to be inspired and enlightened as we delve into an exclusive interview with a true leadership icon, Mo Anderson! Earlier this year, we had the absolute honor of bringing Mo into our space for the Her Leadership Life masterclass, and today, we're sharing this treasure trove of wisdom with you. Grab a pen and paper or open a new note on your phone, because you don't want to miss a moment of this insightful conversation.

Can we just pause for a moment to appreciate Mo's monumental contribution to leadership? Back in 1995, when female CEOs were a rarity, with none on the Fortune 500 list, Gary Keller saw the potential in Mo and promoted her as the CEO of Keller Williams International. Shattering glass ceilings with grace and determination, Mo has blazed a trail for female leaders worldwide. And today, we get to learn from her!

But that's not all. Mo is also the chairman of the board of KW Cares, a remarkable initiative that gives back to agents across the globe. And, showcasing her commitment to community and excellence, she holds a place in the Oklahoma Hall of Fame. We are beyond proud and excited to have her share her insights and experiences with us.

In this episode, we’re not just focusing on intellectual knowledge, but diving deep into heart-level wisdom. Mo's unique approach to leadership is both refreshing and transformative, something that every aspiring leader can learn from. So, eliminate distractions, get comfortable, and prepare yourself for a journey into the mind and heart of a legend in leadership.

181. 7 Things You Need to Know When You Screw Up Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

Building an empire is exhilarating, but let's be real—it's far from flawless. If you're anything like me, you've had your fair share of moments over the years where you just wish you could hit a rewind button. I've been reflecting on my 17-year journey, from the highs to the very lows. And honestly? I can be my harshest critic. Aspiring for excellence means inevitably stumbling upon mistakes. Yet, in the midst of empire building, it's those genuine, deep-rooted relationships that matter the most. And let's face it, in any relationship, we're bound to slip, trip, and sometimes nosedive. But here's the silver lining: for those relationships that truly matter, there's a path to redemption. We're diving deep into that. Let's uncover the seven essential steps to bounce back when you falter as an empire builder.

Relationships matter
Listen and ask to understand the other person’s perspective
Own your part in the problem
Say you are sorry - and mean it
Take a step back & Look at what you can do better next time
Ask what you want to come out of this relationship or problem
Pick yourself up off the floor and be better next time

180. Good Leaders Ask Great Questions Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

Ready to transform the way you lead? Today's episode is all about the art and power of asking questions, inspired by the wisdom of leadership guru, John Maxwell. We often find ourselves in a world where quick solutions and directives take center stage. However, today we're diving deep into why as leaders, we must prioritize asking over telling. It's not just about having all the answers; it's about teaching others to think critically, to reflect, and to grow. "Bosses have the answers, leaders ask the questions." Join us in exploring how this simple yet transformative shift from giving orders to posing questions can empower your team, foster growth, and unlock new potentials.

Probing Questions:

Can you elaborate on that?
How do you think this decision will impact the team?
What other options have you considered? What if we did this differently?
How does this connect to our overall goals?
What lessons can we learn from this experience?
What are the potential consequences or risks?
What assumptions are you making in this situation?
How does this align with our values as a team?
What is the root cause of this issue?

Strategic Questions:

What metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) should we track to measure the success and impact of our strategies?
What are our long-term goals, and how do our current actions align with them?
What emerging trends or disruptions in the market should we be aware of, and how can we adapt our strategies accordingly?
How can we differentiate ourselves from competitors and create a unique value proposition for our customers?
What are the biggest obstacles or challenges we currently face, and what strategies can we implement to overcome them?
How can we optimize our operational processes to increase efficiency and reduce costs?
What new markets or customer segments should we target, and what strategies can we employ to reach them effectively?
How can we enhance our customer experience and build strong relationships to drive customer loyalty and retention?
What talent acquisition and development strategies should we adopt to build a high-performing and diverse workforce?
How can we leverage technology and digital transformation to innovate and stay ahead in our industry?

Coaching Questions (Curiosity, Compassion, Courage):

What do you hope to achieve in this situation?
What are your strengths that can help you overcome this challenge?
What part did you play in the situation you are currently experiencing?
What strategies have you tried before, and what were the results?
How would you approach this situation if you had all the resources and support you needed?
What alternative perspectives or options can you consider?
What is the ONE thing that such by doing, everything becomes easier or unnecessary?
When was the last time you had great success at something and what was the cost?
Who can support you in reaching this goal? Are you asking for their help?
What are you not admitting to yourself right now about this situation?
In response to “I don’t know” – If you did know, what would it be?
