For this episode, Carol Sanford again joins David. She has played a significant role in transforming hundreds of individuals, organisations, companies, and society as a whole. She challenges the idea that most people need to be told precisely how to live and accomplish tasks. 

A  damaging belief that has led to a society that does not enable people to think for themselves. Carol explains how each of us can break that negative cycle, retake control, and lead ourselves and society to a better life and world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everyone has the hardware and software to think for themselves.
• Society is structured around the belief that people cannot think for themselves. As a result, most of us no longer believe that we can do so.
• Beating yourself up when you make a mistake wears you down and leads to you giving up and following the crowd.
• Companies that structure work so there is no hierarchy and build individual capabilities increase revenue by 35 to 65%.
• Anyone that has a vision has an attachment to doing things one way, which is not healthy.
• The key aim is to deliver something that is effective and does what the customer needs. Most organisations focus on efficiency instead.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We have been conditioned as a society to almost need expertise like a drug.’

‘Thinking is a gift that is so underdeveloped.’

‘When you standardise you don´t innovate.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen.

But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.

For this episode, David talks about leading with SPIRIT, a way of ensuring that you are preparing yourself to lead effectively and sustainably. The S in spirit stands for self-leadership, which David has covered in the last few CALM episodes. This time he talks about the P – Presence, how you show up and the energy that you bring and making sure that you are focusing and being present.

David shares several exercises and techniques you can use to do this.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Those who are present have far more impact and a stronger presence.
• The consequences of not being present are massive. 
• When you are present, you tune into how you are feeling, which guides you and points you in the right direction.
• If you are not fully present in your interactions with others, you miss the cues and opportunities.
• To have a strong relationship with people you need to connect with them, which requires you to be present.
• Don´t spend too much time in the past or looking to the future.
• You can learn how to be present.
• Focus on what you can see, smell, and feel. Learn how to engage all of your senses.
• If you´re not present in the moment, then you can´t expect others to be present and focus.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you are not present, what´s the impact on your ability to produce?’

‘Managing your state to be a better leader doesn´t mean disconnecting totally.’

‘Focus on your breath.’

‘Do one thing at a time.’

For this episode, David is joined by his longtime personal friend, educator and golf coach, Marc Radford. He was diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the 90s. 

Marc explains what it was like growing up with ASD, which at the time was not very well understood and shares the impact it has had during adulthood. Including what teaching in a modern UK school is like, why he left teaching for a period and what it has been like working in retail and for the Royal Mail. Marc also explains how he works to fit the social norms, while actually preferring his own company.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• ASD is better understood than it was, but there are still big gaps in most people´s knowledge.
• ASD affects each person differently.
• Not having the same social filters makes things problematic.
• People with ASD become laser-focused, a skill that is just waiting to be harnessed. That level of focus applied to society's challenges would provide answers.
• When you have ASD, you hook into what you are good at and just go and go.
• Speaking other languages turns you into a good listener and pushes you to think more about what you are saying.
• Kids know within minutes if you are a good teacher or not.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The thing that drives me is to help others.’

‘You cannot say anything anymore, that´s the big challenge in education.’

‘I´m so black and white… I´ve basically had to train myself to be more tolerant.’

‘I don´t have a social filter… I´m not inhibited.’

Today, David follows up on the episode about examining your thoughts, understanding them, and learning how to flip those that do not serve you. Today, he explains how doing this enables you to be able to trust your intuition. When you can do that, it becomes far easier to recognize the right path, follow it and lead others down it.

To be able to tap into the power of intuition, you need to understand the connection and differences between thoughts, emotions, imagination, creativity, ego and your fight or flight instinct. This is complex, but David breaks it down into an easy-to-follow process.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Intuition is the ability to understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious reasoning.
• Intuition is something all great leaders develop and use.
• Everyone has two inner voices. Understanding which is which and which one is talking to you is essential.
• Your spirit talks to you through intuition, imagination, and creativity. It´s your inner voice. The other guiding voice is your ego.
• Your fight or flight reaction is part of your ego. It talks to you through your thoughts and emotions.
• To hear your intuition, you need to quieten your ego.
• You need a vision and the intuition to overcome challenges to fulfil that vision.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You have two voices in your head that are helping you to navigate your way through life.’

‘Learn to quieten your ego to hear your intuition.’

‘75 to 80% of your success comes from the innovation, the ideas that pop into your head,’

In this episode, which is part 20 of David´s CALM leadership series, he talks about managing your thoughts, an incredibly important part of leading yourself successfully. If you cannot lead yourself, it will never be possible to lead others effectively.

David shares 4 simple steps you can take to control your thoughts, which create your feelings and emotions that play into the decisions you make, and the actions you take. Controlling your thoughts is the key to everything, so this is a particularly important episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everyone can control how they think and act.
• What you think about becomes what happens - what you do.
• At times you need to be a bit selfish to make sure you are strong enough to lead.
• Know who you are and who you want to be.
• You have to feed your mind. If you are filling it with dross and negativity, your thoughts will be rubbish too and in turn, so will how you act.
• Don’t become over-worried by what others think of you. Use the technique David shares to get the balance right.
• Take time out to observe how your thoughts are, then reframe things when you are thinking negatively or in an unbalanced way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Great leadership starts with self.’

‘Who are you really?’

‘This ain´t about what other people think about you. This is about what you think.’

‘Observe, Flip and Flourish.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
