How do you respond to transformational tension?
Those moments that form the space in between what we were and what we’re becoming. The information we had access to and what we know now.
That deeply uncomfortable place where we can feel change coming, but don’t yet know what the new horizon is going to look like.
Most of us choose from a few responses. We freeze – remain still so the threat won’t find us. We fight – start kicking and thrashing. Or we bolt - isolating ourselves from the herd until the threat has passed.
In that sense, in many ways. We’re no different to any other creature in nature.
Apart from one important aspect. We have the capacity to first get curious and then decide HOW we respond in those moments.
In today’s episode, we’re going to be talking – amongst many things – about learning to sit with transformational tension.
To do that, I get to welcome back one of my favorite guests, Koelle Simpson.
Koelle Simpson is one of the most highly regarded horse whispers on the planet.
A world-renowned coach and leader of the Equus Coaching Movement. Her work has been featured in O Magazine, BBC Business Report, The National Journal, The OWN Network. She is also a TEDx speaker as well as appearing on many other stages around the world.
Since 2006 The Koelle Institute has worked with individuals and Fortune 500 organisations all over the world to create transformational leadership experiences – all by using the lens of her journey as a horse whisperer to decode the silent language of authority.
Why silent? Well when it comes to building trust with a wild horse, all the best sales or leadership language in the world isn’t going to help.
Horses are listening to one thing - Your presence. Your ability to show up fully and yet with calm intent.
Get it wrong – panic or overcompensate and you may well meet the wrong end of 1000 pounds of muscle, of instant feedback.
Which is why when I first came across Koelle and the world of horse whispering and the lessons it has to teach about leadership presence. I had to know more.
One of the pleasures of having people on the podcast a second time, is that I can let the conversation go organically where it needs to go.
“Like all transitions we have to be ready to sit in transformational tension.”
“The thing that is really needed is for each of us to cultivate our empathy … and curiosity.”

How do you change the entire way people view a problem?
The answer. One story at a time.
Every once in awhile, a handful of times a year, I’m lucky enough to get to talk to someone on my original ‘wish list’ for the podcast. Today is one of those lucky days.
In the latest episode of Inside Influence I speak with Jessica Jackley, Co-Founder of KIVA, the worlds first person-to-person micro-lending platform. Since 2005 KIVA has facilitated over $1 billion dollars in micro-loans across the world.
KIVA essentially enables people like you and me to lend small amounts of money to low-income entrepreneurs. The intention being to help them create or grow a sustainable business that can support them, their families and their community for life.
The average loan contribution is $100. The repayment rate? 98.5%.
However this isn’t a conversation about money. It’s not even about the role of micro-finance or micro-donations to completely reimagine how we approach subjects like poverty and charity.
It’s a conversation about the power of storytelling.
In Jessica’s words: “The stories we tell each other, matter very much. The way that we participate in each other’s stories - matters even more.”

Here’s today’s question – are you an expert or a visionary?
Seems like a random question? It’s not.
When I was growing up – a while ago now - influence belonged to those who could amass the most information. I don’t know if many of you can remember the EB – basically a set of books that were said to contain all the information on the planet.
Everything there was to know about pretty much anything in the universe. All in 32 books and 32,640 pages.
Seems like a big call now. But my parents spent more than they could probably afford at the time buying those books. Why? Because before the internet, it was the best chance they had at giving my brother and I access to the most powerful resource on the planet at the time – information.
Now – how many of us feel like we have a lack of information? Anyone sat there thinking, if only I had access to more information?
I’m guessing the answer is no.
And that brings me right back where we started, which is the key difference between an expert and a visionary.
Michael Port is a NY Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, TED speaker and Co-Founder & CEO of Heroic Public Speaking.
Over the last two decades, Michael has written eight books that have made it onto the bestseller lists – including Steal the Show, Book Yourself Solid and the Referable Speaker.
Not too bad for someone who was told by his fourth grade teacher that he had the worst spelling she’d seen in 25 years of teaching.
Over that time, and together with his wife and co-founder, Amy Port he has also built Heroic Public Speaking Worldwide. Offering the most complete (and effective) speaker training in the world. All centred around teaching speakers what actors have always known – how to craft an authentic performance during presentations, pitches and lifes high stakes moments.

If your website or online profile was a big red button, what would it say? Weird question I know. But let’s look at it for a second.
In those moments when we’re most trying to make an impact, it’s easy not to stop and think about what action we actually want people to take. We often get caught in our own bubble, how good does it look, how good does it sound, how likely are people to pay attention – and we totally forget about the one thing that counts.
As a result of paying attention, what ONE action do we want people to take?
On today’s Inside Influence Podcast episode we talk to one of our most popular guests ever, hit TV Director and CEO whisperer Marion Farrelly. More listeners speak to me about my last podcast with Marion on “How to be interesting” than any other of my podcasts. In our second conversation together, we talk about how she has learnt to connect to audiences and to get them to take action.
To give you an idea about how experienced she is in the arena of human attention EVERY show she has ever created has gone to No 1. - apart from those that went to No. 2 – and that was only because she had another show at No. 1!
Marion Farrelly created, built and produced some of the most influential reality TV shows on the planet. Shows such as The X Factor, Big Brother, Celebrity Apprentice, Dancing with the Stars and Farmer Wants a Wife. Her content has been watched more than eight billion times worldwide and she’s put more than ten thousand people on stage, who were then watched by hundreds of millions.
She’s worked with everyone from Hollywood A listers to Astronauts, Politicians to Popstars, Cyber Security Specialists and CEOs.

How does a black musician who’s jammed with the likes of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, BB King and even Bill Clinton - become friends with an Imperial Wizard from the Ku Klux Klan?
In this polarised world, breaking down entrenched positions may be the most important skill needed by us all. If two passionate sides can agree to disagree, long enough to find what they have in common - could we overcome climate change, poverty and even racism?
My guest on this episode of Inside Influence podcast would say a resounding yes.
On today’s Inside Influence Podcast episode I talk to R&B musician and Race Reconciliator Daryl Davis about talking to the “other”.
Growing up overseas as the son of diplomats, he returned to the US as a 10-year-old and was shocked to discover that people could hate him because of the colour of his skin. Later that year he saw MLK assassinated.
This formed a question that went on to define the course of his life: “‘How can you hate me if you don’t even know me?”
Through music he discovered a beautiful universal language and had a wonderful career playing the piano for some of the greats such as Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis.
One night while playing in a bar in Frederick Maryland, he met a Ku Klux Klan member and decided the best way to find an answer to his question was to attend their rallies.
Rather than a debate, he was looking to have a conversation. Rather than trying to convince or convert, he decided to approach people with curiosity and respect.
Over the past 30 years, Daryl Davis has inspired 200+ people to quit the Ku Klux Klan. Through dialogue and (as you’ll come to hear) a thirst to first understand before being understood.
Daryl Davis is an award-winning R&B piano player, actor, author, and race relations expert.
He has worked with Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley's Jordanaires, The Legendary Blues Band and many others. He currently tours with The Daryl Davis Band. He is also an actor and appeared on HBO’s critically acclaimed series The Wire.
As a Race Reconciliator, he has been sent around the world by the State Department to talk about conflict reconciliation and race relations. He has won numerous awards and has appeared on CNN, MSNBC, NPR and other media outlets to talk about race relations.
He hosts a podcast called Changing Minds and has written a book on his relationships with Klu Klux Klan members called “Klan-destine Relationships”

Does long-term thinking even matter in a world where the rules constantly change?
For many of us (myself included) the pandemic has been a tough opportunity to look at the long-term future of our careers and business models.
An invitation to step away from the next fire that’s burning. The next shiny object that everyone else seems to have. To ask 'What do I need to start work today, in order to have the influence or life I want ten years from now?'
That’s what today’s episode of #insideinfluencepodcast is all about.
On today’s episode I talk to Dorie Clark about her latest book “'The Long Game: How to be a long-term thinker in a short-term world'. Dorie is a Thinkers Top 50, a best-selling author and described by the New York Times as an “expert at self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives.”
This is also her third time on the podcast - the only guest I have ever invited back three times - which should tell you a lot about how highly I regard her insights!
Dorie grew up in a small town in North Carolina but her ambitions quickly took her to new places. She graduated college at 18 and by 20 had received her Masters from Harvard Divinity School. From there she worked as a political reporter and won a New England Press Association award for journalism. She then became a presidential campaign spokesperson, nonprofit executive director, best-selling author, guest speaker, documentary filmmaker, Broadway musical writer, and a music producer for a multi Grammy winning jazz album.
Dorie is a sought after strategic thinker who has made her life an example of how to think long-term and hit your personal milestones.
She has been named one of the Top 50 business thinkers in the world by Thinkers50 and the number one ‘Communication Coach’ in the world by the Marshall Goldsmith Leading Global Coaches awards. Her 2015 book “Stand Out” was named the number one leadership book of the year by Inc. magazine and was in Forbes top ten business books of the year. She also publishes regularly in the Harvard Business Review, has several Ted Talks, and teaches at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and the Columbia Business School.

“If we want to be happy long-term, we have to be proactive about it. COVID has put everybody back on their heels for 18 months and largely we’ve been forced to be reactive, I think long-term thinking is a way of fighting back”.
“Long-term thinking is about understanding and appreciating that the things that are the most worthwhile usually do take longer than we want them to.”
“When you have a ten year horizon you don’t know how you are going to do it - all you need to know is the next step”
“If you have a long enough runway, you can accomplish almost anything.”
“It takes bravery to start out bad at something you really want.”

According to my guest on today’s episode, the largest crisis we currently face has nothing to do with the economy or politics - it’s a crisis at the very heart of how we define leadership.
Today a huge 88% of people do not feel like their work is valued by their employers. As a result, 75% of people would take another job if it came along, a level of disengagement estimated to cost companies over half a trillion dollars every year. This number does not include the impact it has on people’s personal lives: from addictions to broken relationships.
My guest on today’s podcast asks the question. How can we lead like everybody matters?
We give so much of ourselves and our lives to our jobs, so it’s strange that success is defined only in dollars and not in its impact on human lives.
Sitting with his morning coffee in the cafeteria of a company he had just acquired, Bob Chapman saw the joy of the workers slowly disappear as the work day started.
This moment became the seed that eventually shifted his entire organisation from a ‘me-centric’ approach to leadership to ‘we-centric’. A decision that eventually enabled them to not only survive, but thrive through some of the largest economic downturns of our time.
This episode is about his incredible journey into the power and potentially world changing impact of truly human leadership.
Bob Chapman is the CEO of Barry-Wehmiller - a $3 billion global capital equipment business with more than 12,000 team members. He was also recently named the #3 CEO in the world by Inc. magazine and Top 10 Social Capital CEO by International Business.
Bob became the senior executive of this private company in 1975 at the age of 30, after his father unexpectedly passed away. As an 80-year-old business with $20 million in revenue, outdated technology and a very weak financial position, it wasn’t long before the banks literally flew in to call in debts.
Despite the obstacles, and there have been many since, Bob applied a unique blend of strategy and culture over the next 40 years to lead Barry-Wehmiller through more than 100 successful acquisitions. As well as successfully navigating the GFC and, more recently, COVID-19.
Over the past two decades, a series of realizations led Bob away from what he describes as the traditional management practices he learnt at university, to what he calls Truly Human Leadership. Where his employees feel valued, cared for and an integral part of the company’s purpose. At Barry-Wehmiller, they have a unique measure of success: by the way they touch the lives of people.
The transformational impact of this approach also became the inspiration behind his recent Wallstreet Journal bestseller ‘Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family’. Co-authored by Raj Sisodia, founder of Conscious Capitalism.
“Business can be the most powerful force of good in the world, if we simply taught our leaders to care for the people they have the privilege of leading.”
“You cannot ask people to care as leaders, you have to teach them how to care.”
“We measure success by the way we touch the lives of people.”

Skills are not enough. 90% of Navy SEAL recruits fail to pass the basic training. And 50% of Navy Seals fail training for specialised command.
Today’s guest, former Navy SEAL Commander and officer in charge of training for specialised command Rich Diviney asked why?
Beneath skills there are hidden drivers of elite performance. These drivers are attributes like resilience, grit, and adaptability. But how do you develop attributes?
I am a big believer that if you want to develop mastery in any area you need to learn it from those that perform that skill in the arena’s where the stakes are the highest. And if you want to learn resilience, grit, adaptability, and leadership then it is hard to go past Rich Diviney.
Rich Diviney served in the US Navy for 20 years. He served in 13 overseas deployments including Iraq and Afghanistan.
As a Navy SEAL, Rich served as the officer in charge of training for specialised command. In this role he went on to create the “Mind Gym”, a program of physical, mental, and emotional training designed to train Navy SEAL’s brains to perform better in all environments, but particularly stressful environments.
Since retiring from the Navy in 2017, Rich has worked as a consultant and speaker with Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute, Simon Sinek Inc, and Dumanis Enterprises.
He has spoken to over five thousand leaders from the worlds of business, sport, and the military. He has spoken to leaders from organisations such as American Airlines, Deloitte, Zoom, and the San Francisco 49ers.
On January 26, 2021, he released his first book “The Attributes: 25 Hidden Drivers of Optimal Performance”.
“What skills don’t tell us is how people are going to show up in stress, challenges and uncertainty. In those environments we lean on attributes.”
“The secret to success is not necessarily to never quit, I’m going to quit as many times as I have to until I find the right way to do it.”
“People decide whether or not they want to follow us. You cannot self-designate as a leader.
Someone else decides whether you are someone to follow and that is always based on your behaviour.”
“The quality of our lives is directly proportional to the quality of questions we ask ourselves on a consistent basis.”

We all have amazing ideas. Some are hard earned while others just come to us while we are walking down the hall on one unexpected day. But to make those ideas a reality, we need to get past the “I can’t moment” that invariably follows.
On today’s Inside Influence Podcast episode I talk to Jeremy Cowart, celebrity photographer, artist, and entrepreneur, about how fear lies on the other side of great ideas and how he has learned to get past those fears.
Jeremy Cowart has been named the “Most Influential Photographer on the Internet” by Huffington Post, Forbes and Yahoo. He has presented at TEDx and the United Nations.
His photos have appeared in well-known publications such as Time Magazine, The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and Sports Illustrated.
He has taken portraits of stars such as Taylor Swift, Sting, Britney Spears, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Heidi Klum, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
He is also well-known for his “Purpose Hotel” Kickstarter campaign. The aim of the project is to create a hotel chain where all the goods, services, and decor used generates a financial benefit for the marginalised around the world. A luxury hotel designed to connect people around the world to the stories of others - and enable them to support.
Jeremy grew up in Hendersonville Tennessee.
He was a struggling student who seemed to fail at everything from piano to maths. “I can’t do it” was his motto. But his supportive parents were insistent that he could do anything: “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me”.
Then he discovered a love of drawing and started to believe in himself.
After high school, his parents suggested that he study graphic design. But he did not feel smart enough to use computers. But he tried it and ended up becoming a designer and then a digital photographer right as digital photography was taking off.
Fast forward over 20 years, and he is an influential photographer to the stars and renowned social entrepreneur.
In addition to his photographic work, he helped start the global movement Help Portrait, founded an online learning platform See University, formed an idea development community called LIMINAL Society, invented a new digital photographic technique called Lightograph, and is founder and CIO of Purpose Hotel.
He has also written four books and is a sought after presenter.

“I think a lot of people want to help but a lot of times they just don’t know how … but when you can align helping with people’s natural passions and interests, magic can happen.”
“I have pursued over 75 different ideas and probably more than half of them have been total utter failures, or I have abandoned them altogether. However a few of them have been very successful and those are the ones I end up talking to people on podcasts about”

Whether you call it “being in the zone”, “flow”, “hyperfocus”, “feeling invincible”, or in the words of my guest today “consonance” - we have all experienced those moments where we feel our abilities and passions are absorbed into the task in front of us. Time melts away and we produce some of our best work. What if you could have that every day?
On today’s Inside Influence Podcast episode best-selling author and entrepreneur Laura Gassner Otting describes how we can take the limits off our lives and live in a “limitless” state. A state describing when “what we do matches who we are (or want to be)” and the limitless possibilities that result. She calls this “consonance” - the opposite of dissonance.
Laura started her limitless journey at the opposite end of the spectrum. She had worked hard to achieve a successful career, but then realised she was working hard for someone else’s definition of success. Working in executive search, she also began to notice that those who appeared limitless had four decisions in common. Those four decisions enabled them to tap into their limitless potential. You can too.
Laura has over 25 years experience in service, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Today she is a best-selling author and an in-demand motivational speaker.
Dropping out of law school, Laura started her career as a campaign staffer for the Clinton and Gore 1994 Presidential campaign. She then worked in the Clinton Whitehouse helping to establish AmeriCorps (a domestic version of the Peace Corps). She then became an AmeriCorps program director and got her Master’s in Political Management from George Washington University.
She then entered the world of executive search and rose to the position of Senior Vice President of executive search startup ExecSearches.com.
After leaving the world of executive search, she founded the Nonprofit Professional Advisory Group (NPAG) where she held the position of President for over 12 years.
In 2015, she sold NPAG and after presenting at a TedTalk she was inspired to write her first book, “Mission-Driven: Moving from Profit to Purpose”. She then followed this up with the 2019 Washington Post Best Seller “Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve Your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life”.

“Letting go of the controls of trying to go back to the way things were allows us to open up our lens to the way things can be.”
“If you are comparing your bloopers to someone else’s highlight reel of course you are going to feel terrible about yourself.”
“You can’t do it if you let other people limit you to what they think you are capable of because nobody knows what you can really do”.
“We cannot be insatiably hungry for someone else’s goals.”
