Learning to Trust Each Other Again Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

How in the world do we learn to trust each other again? That's a question that's been on my mind a lot lately, and I bet it's probably been on your mind. I've had high school teachers ask me this. I've had business owners ask me this. I've had community activists asking me this same question.

How do we trust each other again? There's been, so much damage to the fabric of our society over the last six months, that it's really hard to imagine how we're going to bring it back together, but we have to.

Join me by the fire pit as we work through how we, “Learn to Trust Each Other Again”.

I’ll see you on the Rooftop,

Scott

Leading Through Disengagement Sep 29, 2020

Show notes

Today we're talking about disengagement. How do you as a leader, whether you are a community leader, a stay at home dad, whether you work in the corporate realm, a small business owner, maybe you're in the military, but how do you overcome disengagement with your people?

We know that humans are meaning seeking creatures. We know that without purpose in our life, we perish. Whether you are an individual or part of an organization, we must have purpose in our life.

There's an overwhelming body of research that shows that humans are meaning seeking creatures. We crave purpose. We take action driven by purpose.

Join me by the fire-pit as we discuss, “Leading Through Disengagement”.

3 Steps to Overcoming Distraction Sep 22, 2020

Show notes

The three primary components that I believe make up “The Churn”‘ are Distraction, Disengagement and Distrust, and they’ve gotten worse over the years.

Today, I want to talk about distraction and more importantly, I want to talk about how distraction shows up in your life as a leader, and what you can do to overcome it.

Understand that distraction is a part of life and as humans, we’re easily distracted, but because we live in such an information age, distraction has gotten more and more prolific in our life.

Join me by the fire-pit and let’s talk about 3 Steps to Overcoming Distraction.

Action Leads to Passion Sep 15, 2020

Show notes

This notion that you have to go off somewhere and find yourself, and find your passion, I just don't buy it. I don't think that's the way it works.

I think the universe rewards our passion through the purpose that we can envision for ourselves, through the work that we do when no one's looking.

The universe rewards our passion through purpose by putting one foot in front of the other and iterating with fanatical focus on that purpose, and then executing the reps that go into it, quality reps, and then we endure the pain and the frustration that comes along with it, until that passion becomes rocket fuel.

Join me by the fire-pit and let’s learn together how, Action Leads to Passion.

Leading Through The Churn: Webinar Sep 08, 2020

Show notes

These last six months have been unprecedented, but the churn in the next six months is going to pose more challenges to us than at any other point in our history as human beings. Regardless of your discipline, regardless of your party, regardless of what you believe, we're going to face more challenges and more obstacles than ever.

The churn is a combination of distraction, disengagement, and distrust. When these three things combine, it creates caustic corrosion in the environments we need to lead.

In this Rooftop Leadership webinar, I'm going to give you insight into how to think about the human terrain, how to think about the churn, and show you how the churn shows up...whether it's in tribal Afghanistan or tribal America.

How we orient to our operational environment in the next six months will determine how we either lead through it or get sucked into the churn ourselves.

Knowing When to Pivot Sep 01, 2020

Show notes

I still remember the day that Wes and I made the decision to pivot. It was right after the pandemic had begun. The first speaking event that I was supposed to do was canceled, and Wes and I were already talking about what was coming. Wow.

We didn't waste any time. We looked at the arena, we retuned ourselves, and we said, you know what? The in-person engagements are probably going the way of the dinosaur, at least in 2020, we've got to pivot.

Join me by the fire pit and let’s talk about what we did and how to, “Know When to Pivot”.

Connecting With Prospects in the New Normal Aug 25, 2020

Show notes

How in the world are we going to maintain a face-to-face interaction and rapport with prospects and then bring them over to our side to inspire them to buy from us, when there's all this social distancing and we're wearing PPE.

We've normally never done remote sales. We didn't really do any remote sales in the beginning of the pandemic because we kept waiting for everything to open up.

Well now it looks like, at least between now and Labor Day or the fall, at a minimum, we're still going to be in this weird socially distanced environment. We may have to rely on remote, so how do we connect in a one-dimensional environment on WebEx or Zoom, and how do we sell like that?

Join me by the fire-pit and let’s discuss, “Connecting With Prospects in the New Normal”.

Keeping Clients on Board Aug 11, 2020

Show notes

One of the things that I believe in, is the mindset that the relationship is the asset. I teach this to the Green Beret students at Fort Bragg when I teach in the school-house, and I teach it at Fortune 100 Commercial Banks, that “relationships are the asset”.

Relationships are your greatest off-book asset, according to David Nour in his book, Relationship Economics. I learned at a very early age as a young Green Beret, that relationships are a precious resource, that allows you to pursue other transactions and outcomes over time.

The relationship has to be at the epicenter of what you do, and for “Keeping Clients on Board”, that's a critical mindset. We have to realize that the relationship is the asset, and relationship building as well as relationship maintenance, is a team sport.

Join me by the fire pit and let’s continue to navigate these difficult times together and learn to work at, “Keeping Clients on Board”.

Dr Kendall Haven Author of Story Smart and Story Proof Aug 05, 2020

Show notes

Have you noticed how hard it is to connect with other people during these uncertain times? Sometimes, it feels like the gaps are as wide as the Grand Canyon doesn’t it?

The most relevant leaders in these times of social challenge are the ones who can bridge gaps when times are hard. Green Berets learned how to do this since the early 1950’s using old-school interpersonal skills like narrative and active listening to build rapport.

Today, Rooftop Leadership is taking those skills to a whole new level. Your ability to use story during high-stakes engagements will allow you to own almost every room you go into. There’s no one better to help us understand this than my guest Dr. Kendall Haven. He is a master storyteller who put the science into the art of storytelling. This podcast is jam packed with information on helping you become a better story teller all around. Don’t miss it.
