244. Experience Vs. Expertise with Eduardo Briceño (Part 1) Nov 02, 2023

Show notes

Over the years one of the things I have learned is that if we only focus on performing, our performance suffers. That idea is not new to me, but that precise language is from Eduardo Briceño. He's our guest today in part one of a two part interview. Before Eduardo became an author, a TED speaker, a thought leader in his own rights, his life was totally changed, as was mine by the research of Carol Dweck. Carol Dweck is currently a professor at Stanford and formerly of Columbia, who is best known for the Growth Mindset, that idea that intelligence itself is not fixed, that it can grow, that we can become more intelligent after years of helping to take those ideas out into the world, out into organizations. Eduardo is on his own journey and it's a journey that he's inviting us to go on. By the end of today's episode, you will be able to grow your skill level and your output simultaneously and for the long term.

Show notes

Have you ever wanted to make a higher contribution in your life to be able to get better results, even 10X results, but at the same time you already feel like you're running out of space, stretched too thin, a little exhausted, or more than a little exhausted? Well, that's what this series is. This is part two in a series about how to use leverage to achieve 10X results without burning out. In the solo episode last week, I introduced this theme and I asked you to be able to pay attention to all the forms of leverage that you see, physical and metaphorical, across all of your life. By the end of today's episode, we'll dig deeply into one form of leverage so that you can use this lever to be able to take modest input but produce residual results that is results that come back to you again and again.

Show notes

In this part two of my interview with Rich Horwath, we dig into how Rich spent years providing strategic planning, coaching, advising, running sessions with corporations and executive teams. But as he was providing executive coaching to one of his clients, they said, "Well, listen, my bosses said I need to be more strategic, but what does it mean?" And that was the beginning of a whole new phase of Rich's life and his career as he started to think, well, really, what does it mean and how can we apply some of these tools and frameworks that have become so useful in the enterprise space and the business environment to help people in their lives? By the end of this episode, you'll have a better insight in not only how to be successful in the life of business, but also in the business of life.

241. The Lever You Need to Break Through (10X Series: Part 1) Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

Have you ever been trapped by reactively doing things that just get results one time today? That just get you through the immediate, urgent needs of your life and don't seem to be able to get you ahead? I know I have, and for a lot of people, they really feel that this is the best that they can do, but we have learned by experience that there's a much, much better way than this: to shift between linear thinking and residual thinking, between linear results and residual results. This is part one of a five part series focused specifically on how you can achieve 10X results, however you want to measure that, but without burning out. This is loosely based on the last five chapters of Effortless, so if you have your copy, you can use that to be able to do further reading, and if you haven't got your copy yet, now is the time to begin. By the end of this episode, you will have learned the first lever that you can use to be able to break through to that next level, but without burning out.

Show notes

This is part four in a multi-part series about the relentless elimination of noise. Have you noticed that the noise is increasing everywhere? Have you felt that ridiculous increase of volume, the number of voices telling you what to do, what to worry about, what your life should be, could be, has to be, shouldn't have been? Have you noticed that the more you listen to all of those incessant, loud, persuasive voices out there, the less able you are to listen to the voices of the people closest to you, the people who in fact matter most to you, including listening to the voice within you. By the end of this episode, you'll have a concrete rule and tools for how to increase the volume of that voice within and decrease or eliminate those voices, all that noise, that is without.

Show notes

This episode is part two of my conversation with Dr. Mauro Guillén, a Spanish-American sociologist, political economist, and management educator. I know him because he is the former dean of the Cambridge Business School. He's also a fellow at Queens College, so we share that in common too. He has built a series of research helping us look at those great trends, how they'll collide, and how they'll reshape the future of everything so that we can zoom out to get that perspective in order to zoom in and make tradeoffs that allow us to design a life that really matters.

Show notes

This is part three in a multi-part series about the relentless elimination of noise. Have you noticed the change in the level of noise in your life? Do you feel that you might be drowning in it because it's everywhere around you? Is it possible that it has affected, and perhaps quite a serious way, the quality of the most important relationships in your life, both personally and professionally? For years we've been aware and we've been talking about and writing about the impact of these distractions, of this noise on our productivity, but this is not its most important impact. Its most important impact is not to what we get done, but what this has done to our relationships. By the end of this episode, you'll be armed with additional tactics and strategies you can use right now to eliminate the noise so that you can have more meaningful conversations and connections with the people who matter most.
