Carly Fiorina: Find Your Way! Sep 21, 2019

Show notes

As leaders, we all know that we must constantly "up our game" But how can you genuinely Find Your Way and step into your full potential?

There is a very prescribed way to the top of success mountain, but the question is; how do you know that you climbing the right mountain? How do you Find Your Way, and unleash your highest potential, particularly when all the odds seem stacked against you?

Well, let’s find out together because our guest on this episode is: Carly Fiorina.

Carly Fiorina, is an American business executive who, as CEO (1999–2005) of Hewlett-Packard Company, was the first woman to head a company listed on the Dow Jones Industrial Average. You may remember her from 2016 when she sought the Republican Party nomination for president and was viciously attacked (about her looks) by fellow contender, Donald Trump. That being said, there's likely a lot you don't know about her. How she ended up running, her background in politics and her health. Carly Fiorina is the founder and Chairman of Carly Fiorina Enterprises, and of Unlocking Potential, a non-profit organization. In 2016 she was the first declared female candidate to seek the Republican Party's nomination as Presidential Candidate. She is a multi-bestselling author and her latest book is: FIND YOUR WAY!

Over the years, I've interviewed thousands of people with an extremely wide range of backgrounds. What I can tell you about interviewing Carly Fiorina is she may not be running for office but she certainly is a Politician!

On this episode we go FullMonty on:

Problem Solving
The Power of Collaboration
What Communities can do in the face of poor political support
The 5 year old who exemplifies community responsibility
Dealing with the attacks from Donald Trump
Her biggest lesson learned from her time at law school

Being different

Andre Van Hall: Curiosity Instigator Sep 13, 2019

Show notes

Where have you blinded your curiosity?

What are you looking at that’s causing you to not see everything else?

Often times change can be pretty terrifying. As a result we can get reactive and in turn shut down our own curiosity. In fact what if some seemingly tragic change took place and as a result instead of shutting down you opened up to a higher level of curiosity?

Do you know the difference between accessing a situation rather than judging it?

The answer is simple (but not always easy)!

Our guest on this episode is Andre Van Hall

A native of Argentina, André has worked at some of the most prestigious hotels in the world, to include the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg (once recognized as a tope ten hotel in the world), the Ritz in Paris and the St. Regis in New York.

Additionally he has managed some of the largest hotels, including the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta and the Adam’s Mark in Denver. Before retiring, he was the CEO of the historic Denver Athletic Club.

A graduate of the school of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, André Van Hall has held such positions as Director of Quality, Executive Assistant Manager, Rooms Executive, General Manager, Professor of HR and CEO. His volunteer activity have afforded him the opportunity to serve on boards of Chamber of Commerce, United Way, Convention & Visitors Bureaus, Rotary clubs, Urban League and many others.

After suddenly losing his eyesight in late 2011, he started a new career as a Professional Speaker, with an emphasis on Motivation, Change Management and Staff Development.

On this episode we go FullMonty on:

How to bring Curiosity back to every aspect of your life
His commitment to raising money for the homeless
How gaining the understanding that "you get what you inspect, instead of what you expect" transformed his leadership
How curiosity can be the catalyst for making change easier
Learning how to assess rather than judge
How to bring humility to our position of leadership
How to cope with constant and often dramatic change
What's the difference between those who grow in change verses those who get stifled by it?
His battle with not only blindness but also cancer
His commitment to raising money for the homeless

Show notes

What’s your process for making the best decisions possible… Can you do it while keeping your ego in check? And can you do so while choosing and Taking The Higher Road?

At some point on the climb to the top we are going to have to deal with someone whose ego is so big that we may want to quit.

In fact we know that according to Gallup research people don’t leave jobs they leave bosses!

But here’s the uncomfortable question…brace yourself: If behaviour is modelled: Have you (without realizing it) become the what Gallup called a boss from hell? And if you have; what can you do about it?

Well let’s find out together…

My guest on this episode is Leslie Austin

Dr. Leslie Austin is affectionately known to her clients as "The Lion Tamer." She has over twenty-five years’ experience helping successful senior executives and leaders create a positive change in behaviour patterns for themselves and for their colleagues and teams.

These positive behaviour changes result in significantly improved performance and effectiveness at work, at leisure, and at home.

She helps her clients learn how to systematically become more effective decision-makers by practicing Taking The Higher Road, a process which results in her clients making the best decision possible every time.

Dealing with Narcissistic Leaders
How you are likely missing out on a crucial element of communications
The most important principles involved in taking the higher road
What are the results gained from taking the higher road
How emotions are so misunderstood and misused
Working with your emotions in a systematic way
Tapping the best, most effective version of yourself.

Thinking The Unthinkable: Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon Aug 30, 2019

Show notes

DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!!

Executive leadership faces new vulnerabilities. Many leaders privately concede them, but few are willing to talk publicly about them. 'Unthinkable' events since 2014 have revealed a new leadership fragility at the highest levels. The pace of change shows that the uncertainties are greater than ever.

Is this the 'new normal?' Thinking The Unthinkable is an investigation into why leaders have appeared more unable or unwilling than ever to anticipate the biggest issues of our time. In an era of 'wicked problems' why are current leadership behaviours and culture apparently not fit for purpose?

What are the causes of so many failures in policy and strategic forecasting?

Are they human frailties? Or are they systemic failures to embrace smartly new realities?

Through hundreds of interviews and conversations, Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon have analysed the deep new challenges to the human capacity of leaders at the highest keels to accept, understand, embrace then handle the extraordinary processes of change and disruption. This essential book draws on the candid responses. The findings will be disconcerting to leaders at all levels.

We live in what might be the most disrupted time in history, hundred year old industries are disappearing over night.

Things that we considered normal have nothing to do with what’s going on. In fact much of what’s going on today we would have considered “Unthinkable” not very long ago.

The question is how can we as leaders thrive in a time where the unthinkable is the norm?

Well let’s find out together…

This has one of my most intriguing interviews. What my guests brought to light is fascinating, awakening and a clear call to action!

My guests on this episode are Nik Gowing and Chris Langdon

The resumes of both are outstanding…

Here’s a quick overview:

Nik Gowing was a main news presenter for the BBC’s international 24-hour news channel… BBC World News from 1996-2014.

He presented The Hub with Nik Gowing, BBC World Debates,

Dateline London, plus location coverage of major global stories.

He spent 18 years at ITN in senior roles including Diplomatic Editor, Channel 4 News. He received a BAFTA award in 1982 for his coverage of martial law in Poland.

Chris Langdon: Founder-Director of Reconciliation Through Film, a charity being established to develop new ways of using communications to help conflict resolution. Chris is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) He has worked extensively on facilitating political reform in SE Europe. Through 2008-2010. he directed the Communicating Europe Programme for the European Stability Initiative, Chris was a TV producer for BBC News, ITN and APTN.

Together they have spent the last 4 1/2 years asking leaders how they are coping with disruption - the answer is scary.

Leaders cannot cope!

However, Nik & Chris have some good news…

They found some leaders who thrive on change.

This is a fascinating episode that steps outside of leadership as we know it and confronts questions about leadership that few have had the courage to face.

On this episode we go FullMonty on:

Why leaders are struggling to keep up?
The best way thrive in an age of massive disruption
The cost of Conformity
How Nik predicted what is now labelled ‘Fake News’ back in 2009.
Purpose…what purpose, and why?
Talking to scared C Suiters
Political insurgents ‘shatter the mould’
