November 22, 2019LEAD YOUR BRAND BY CHARACTER NOT COLOR SCHEMES.
NAME IS A MANIFESTATION OF CHARACTER, DOES YOUR BRAND NAME LINE UP?
DO YOU WISH TO BE A TRUSTED AUTHORITY?

ARE YOU SEEKING TO BUILD A STRONG BRAND?

HAVE YOU ESTABLISHED A GOOD NAME?

DO YOU HAVE STRONG NAME RECOGNITION?

NAME - AUTHORITY - BRAND - MANIFESTATION OF CHARACTER - these are by definition interchangeable.

Color schemes, logos, tag lines, these are PR which should express and enhance your brand but they are NOT YOUR BRAND!

If you are not as focused in the actions of your business brand, your name could be Nike or your name could be mud. Look at the “smear campaign” launched against the brand names of Chick-fil-A and The Salvation Army.

They have been accused of bigotry, hatred, bias, discrimination and more. Thus far, there have been no reports of action taken by Chick-fil-A or anyone associated with the company to justify such name calling, but the name callers don’t need facts, just accusations. The power of a damaged name impacts brand reputation and eventually bottom line.

Your brand name should be associated with good citizenship, good service, good quality, good products, and good will in the community. It should not be determined by the opinions of haters who love your product and service but hate your world view.

There may never be “justice” for haters who destroy the life work of someone who has devoted their life to build a brand, do good in their community, provide jobs, provide opportunity and grow the economy.

If you want to have a good brand, a good name, a good reputation, if you want to be a trusted authority in your industry:
Align yourself with name brands who represent the excellence you strive for.

Manifest the character worthy of the name you seek to establish.

Know that your brand will have haters, but they don’t define you - the call out your areas for growth.

Train your team to speak well of themselves, your customers and your brand in everything they do and say in every interaction with the customer and the public.

November 21, 2019IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY DENIED BY CONSPIRACY?
IS IT A CONSPIRACY IF THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE BELIEVE IT?
IS IT A CONSPIRACY EVEN IF THERE IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE?

There are so many “hidden agendas” in society today it is becoming very difficult to truly identify “original intent” or “genuine intent.”

Many services and products today, dare I say most... OK ALL products and services are produced and provided at a cost to the producer and provider. It is an expense they are willing to absorb for one reason alone - ROI. If the providers and producers could not see and articulate a clear path to profit, THEY WOULD NOT PRODUCE OR PROVIDE!!

So.
Does that make the concept of seeking profit a bad thing?

Does it make earning a profit a bad thing?

Does it make living well on the proceeds of the profit which came from the services and products provided a bad thing?
NO.

IF THERE WAS NO PROFIT, THERE WOULD BE NO PROVIDERS OR PRODUCERS.
So is it a conspiracy for the providers and producers to continue to provide and producers at the “expense of the users and takers?”

Is it a conspiracy for those who have produced to hire and train and employ and offer opportunity to others who are NOT YET providers and producers?
As leaders we are facing a rapid changing of mindset and world view all across the globe. The conspiracy theory of the haves vs the have nots is being pushed and promoted at every level of society.

YES! There are a serious problems with greed and wage gaps and human trafficking which need to be addressed. These are demonstrations of pure evil and evil intent.

However, this cancerous mindset which says anyone who succeeds must be targeted for revenge and their wealth redistributed is a dangerous, age old form of bondage and class warfare. I am sad to say, it is a mindset which some people even use religious text to reinforce.

As leaders, we must help people to see genuine opportunities and pathways to wealth.

November 20, 2019 A dream or vision you can accomplish alone is likely selfish.
IF YOU CAN DO IT ALL BY YOURSELF, YOUR DREAM IS LIKELY SELFISH, SELF CENTERED, SELF SEEKING.

When the dream is about impacting the lives of others in a significant way, the work required to pull it off is generally more than one person can handle.

Think back to all the great accomplishments of human achievement. Whether the first jet powered aircraft, the first rocket to reach the moon, the first in vitro heart surgery or brain surgery, NONE of those accomplishments were achieved by a single person.

Many leaders, especially entrepreneurs like me, we have a chip on our shoulder. We want to accomplish something significant so we can “prove our worth” after all the hard work and sleepless nights. We want to have something to point to for which we can say “I MADE THIS!”

However, if we are going to have a significant and lasting impact, we need to be humble enough to admit we need help. We need to recognize the needs of others and how our contribution will impact them. Then we need to align ourselves with others to “make it happen.”

November 19, 2019 ARE YOUR LEADERSHIP INSTRUCTIONS FOLLOWABLE?
CAN YOU LEAD WELL? IF SOMEONE WERE FOLLOWING CLOSELY WOULD THEY “GET THERE?”

It’s amazing how often leaders, myself included believe they have given clear, concise and applicable instructions for a given assignment.

Recent I was chatting with another coach after a weekend training. We both marveled at the depth of some of the questions asked by those in attendance. What I realized was how many times I “skip over the basics” to try to offer the deeper meanings and more profound teachings.

On the way home, my wife asked me about something she had heard in the training. She said “do you do that too?” I said yes, “but I have been doing it so long, I mostly do it in my head.”

It had never dawned on me that I should be teaching that step to my StoryPower clients because it seemed so “elementary.”

Today I watched a video of a dad, following the instructions written by his children on making a PB&J Sandwich. It was hilarious but made me take pause as well.

November 18, 2019 DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN BIGOTRY WAS A GOOD THING? Ya. Me neither.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN BIGOTRY WAS A GOOD THING? Ya. Me neither.

I found and shared a personal recording from the crowd at a recent appearance of a rapper. This video was not polished, produced, edited for the best sound bites, cleaned up to make just the right impression. It was (or at least it appears to be) amateur footage recorded live and shared on YouTube.

The footage includes some VERY DIRECT talk, some “trigger words”, some explanations some people would rather you not hear, some allegations and a challenge for those in attendance to search out the truth behind them.

There is also an enormous elephant in the room in the video, the “soft bigotry” of political correctness. The idea of submitting to the pressures of what is popular and acceptable among the mainstream and the “bullying” and manipulation which follow and counter flowing idea.

Bigotry is in all of its forms a graceless way to lead. Intimidation based on differences is not leadership it is manipulation and tyranny.

Watch the video for more...

If you can find the additional video I am referring to just comment and I will add the link.

November 15, 2019 DISCOVER YOUR GREATEST GIFT THEN GIVE IT AWAY
WHAT YOU DO FOR OTHERS WILL LAST!

If you asked yourself honestly “What am I the best in the world at?” How clear is the answer to you?

Is there any one thing in your life where you often hear others say how incredible you are at doing that thing?

Is there any one thing in your life which lights you up when you do it?

Is there any one thing in your life which comes so easily to you, you can’t understand why no one else does it the same way?

That is your gift. Now, add skill, practice, diligence, training and more practice to that gift and you have a chance to be the best in the world at that one thing.

BUT DON’T STOP THERE!!!

As incredible as it is to have a WORLD CLASS GIFT OR TALENT what you do with it really matters. What you do for others with it will be your legacy!!

November 14, 2019 CAN YOU REALLY HANDLE THE SUCCESS YOU ARE SEEKING?
CAN YOU REALLY HANDLE THE SUCCESS YOU ARE SEEKING?
Like Amazon, Toys R Us, Circuit City and many professional athletes a rising star faces many obstacles which will test your metal!
It’s important the set you goals high. It’s important to reach beyond yourself and strive for growth, improvement and opportunity. It is also important to begin that journey with a significant set of core values and foundational principles.
Often people gain wealth, power and influence who have never had wealth, power and influence. Without strong core values at the start, the result is almost always corruption.
If you are seeking significant fun a vial success, financial gain and market power or market share, be certain you have sure odds yourself with people you respect, who share your same values and who have experiences in this level of growth.
Don’t let the first taste of success be your undoing. DON'T LET SUCCESS BE YOUR DOWNFALL

November 13, 2019 Good Leaders and Communicators DON'T Fake It To Manipulate
WHAT VALUE HAS A FAKE CRY WHEN YOU’RE PRESENTING?
If you’re in the audience and the speaker or teacher cries over a story that has no real emotion, how do your respond?
Here are a few realities of leadership communication which many people face because they have been given bad advice.

THE BAD ADVICE OFTEN SOUNDS LIKE THIS:
1. EMOTION IS POWERFUL WHEN SPEAKING
2. EMOTION SHOULD BE USED WHEN SPEAKING
3. BE EMOTIONAL WHEN SPEAKING EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO FAKE IT

Here’s the real challenge with the above advise. Statements one and two ARE TRUE and they create the illusion that statement three must be true as well. In reality, fake emotion in a speech is the same level of inauthentic and incongruity as any other form of manipulation.
Leaders who emotionally manipulate others to gain or maintain control are seldom of ever seen in a good light. Speakers who use conjured or fake emotions run the same risk when the people they speak to find out.

The old adage, “How you do anything is how you do everything” should be considered. If you fake it from the stage, if you must manipulate through illusion to “win the crowd”, HOW REAL is what you have to offer in the end?

November 11, 2019 Say "THANKS" to a veteran!!
THANK A VETERAN!
I know the truth. Not every veteran of the US Armed Forces over the last century served voluntarily. I also know not all served honorably. I also know not all served with the same level of risk, danger and effectiveness. Yet all served.

Women and men who sacrifice a season of life to protect and defend our great nation do so because they believe in and honor something greater than themselves. They have committed time away from their own lives, families and careers to fight for you.

Yes, some wars are unnecessary. Many deaths are unnecessary as well. But the cause of freedom, the right to be free, the right to pursue life, liberty happiness are clearly worth fighting for even when the battle is not clear.

If you have served as I have served THANK YOU. Thank you for your willingness to serve, your heart to serve and your sacrifice to serve.
