Get Heard with Ian Roth

Nick is the co-host and co-founder of the lead.exe podcast. On today's episode, Nick discusses different ways that introverts can focus on and become better communicators.

Nick's experience stems from being in the information technology world, where many of his peers are by nature, introverts.

We also discuss the importance of emotional intelligence and how effective storytelling can keep people engaged and actively listening to what you are saying.

Today's episode features Max Warren, Co-founder and CRO of SpeakerFlow. His background is in Corporate sales with a focus on Voice, data and video applications and products and recently, he's been focusing on Business Development and Inside Sales in Professional Services. A brief outline of our conversation is below:

Intentional Thoughts and Actions

As leaders we have to have intentionality in thoughts AND action.

Bring full presence to a situation, think about leading someone, biggest thing is having a clear idea of where you are leading them, front or behind.

Be intentional about it because you have that responsibility on your shoulders and need to have an aim and outcome in mind.

Without a clear intention, how do you get others to buy in and come together as a team?

Communicate how actions now get to larger picture

Restate person’s statement, “what I heard you say was…” shared intention, active listening, start with questions

Get on call and have a meeting, at end, come back and ask, “do you feel like we covered everything?”

Gives them buy in and makes them feel validated.

Make a shared experience, not feeling hijacked, ASK QUESTIONS to ge clarity, repeat things back

Can’t lead someone who is disengaged, no sense of cohesiveness or trust- MUST get their buy in

Conflict and leadership

Show people how what they’re doing moves the needle for everyone.

Conflict, no definition of success, how can people figure out what is expected of them?

Lack of communication or leaving vacuum of unknowns does not work.

When someone's back is against the wall-the immediate response is to be defensive and to blame.

Part of intention is being a student of those around you-emotional intelligence

Have to care, be socially aware of what makes them tick, plays to their strengths

SHARED INTENTION is an art

Words have meaning and become more persuasive when there’s empathy behind them.

This episode features https://www.linkedin.com/in/nelsonetoriano/ (Nelson Toriano), the founder/CEO of Coach Nelly Toriano LLC. He has also written a book, the link at at the bottom of this page. Nelson has a passion for the fitness industry but noticed a trend. The trend was that many personal trainers and gym owners did not know basic business practices.

Nelson noticed this trend and in addition to coaching people in fitness, began coaching personal trainers in entrepreneurship, sales, marketing and basic accounting practices. Part of his business includes frequent speaking engagements to organizations and college students.

Nelson discusses some of the ways he prepares for these speaking engagements and things that he does during his speech to maximize audience engagement and receive quality feedback from his listeners.

Unrelated to the theme of this podcast, the end of the episode features a few exercises to get shredded abs. I don't like it, but the first suggested exercise is the plank. Listen to the episode for the other two!

This week's episode features https://www.linkedin.com/in/divyaparekh/ (Divya Parekh), who is an author and business and leadership coach explains to us how we can provide feedback to our teams (even negative feedback) professionally and with empathy.

As leaders, we must set ground rules, or expectations for our team members. During this time, we inform of our team of what we need/want them to do and what occurs if they do not live up to these expectations. Setting these guidelines up-front communicates a clear message of what will happen in the future if an employee does or does not do something.

Much of the anxiety in the workplace results in coming from unknowns, so the clearer and more transparent that we can be in telling our team what they can expect to happen, we reduce that feeling of the unknown.

Divya also discusses mindfulness and the importance of being present in the moment. It's so easy to want to always be thinking of the future or what we will say next. How can we be active listeners and mindful of what others are saying if we are brainstorming what we will say next?

I had a lot of fun recording this and Divya dropped some major knowledge bombs and opened my eyes to new ways of seeing some important leadership topics.

Check out Divya's book, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDN3BYX/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8andtag=highhopesinit-20andcreative=9325andlinkCode=as2andcreativeASIN=B07TDN3BYXandlinkId=14b2051a369f24b0dff35a00c0d8ae3f (Expert to Influencer: How To Position Yourself for Meaningful Impact. )

This week marks a very first for the Get Heard Podcast. https://www.linkedin.com/in/dina-brenci-97ab02172/ (Dina Brenci) is a dating coach. How does a dating coach relate to leadership or communication? I'm so glad you asked!

Leadership is similar to dating in that to be successful, we must first believe in ourselves. Self limiting beliefs are detrimental to our success in both of these fields. To overcome this, we need to understand that we are unique individuals and not try to be someone else.

Be present in the moment! How much of life has passed you by because you were too engaged in social media or not aware of what was going on around you?

Dina mentions that when we are communicating with others through text messages, it's so easy to forget that there's a person at the other end who has real, human feelings. How many times do you find yourself communicating with the phone instead of the person on the other end?

We also discuss Dating with Scrum. What is it? I won't spoil the surprise, listen to this episode!

He's the founder of Syatt Fitness and has the mission of giving you the knowledge and confidence to give you the health and fitness knowledge to gain strength and build the body you've always wanted.

Jordan talks about what confidence means to him and shares some stories about how he has built self-confidence from middle school until the present day. Often times, confidence comes from putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and facing your fears. Once you've tried something, it's no longer foreign to you and you grow and become more confident from it.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinmbarba/ (Kevin Barba) is the founder of The Unwavering, a company who specializes in providing various services and educating active duty service members, their spouses and veterans in transitioning to civilian life.

Kevin mentions that when applying for a job, it is often times less about what is written on your resume and more about you being a fit to the company's culture. He also states the importance of being proud of your military background (for those of us veterans out there) but understanding that post transition, you are now part of a different culture with different rules.

Kevin strongly believes that he would not be where he is today without mentors. He discusses several instances of people believing in him and investing their time into developing him throughout his career.

Learn from your mistakes and don't copy what others do-follow your own path.

This week's episode with https://www.linkedin.com/in/meiphing/ (Mei Phing) covers a ton of topics! Mei discusses emotional intelligence (EQ) and how mastering it enables us to better understand our emotions and how they affect others.

We also discuss the importance of active listening and the difference between confidence and arrogance. We then go into detail about some of the challenges related to being a young leader in charge of a team with people who are older or more senior to you. One of the ways to overcome this as a young leader is to know your job and be open to feedback.

While you may not yet have the most experience, you should know the ins and outs of your job from a technical level so that you can clearly understand what your employees are doing. Asking for feedback is not a sign of weakness! It shows that you are self-aware and approachable.

I hope you enjoy this episode and would love if you could leave this podcast a review!
