Notable Leaders' Radio

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach and I share the last of 4 episodes of our Next Level Leader Series today. In this episode we speak to the power and impact of being a courageous leader, and revisit key points of the series.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• Being decisive and courageous is imperative to good leadership.

• Take the time to draw clear lines for your business and your team. Creating these boundaries ahead of moments under pressure will give security in the firm lines created.

• Show empathy and demonstrate compassion. This allows others to see you not as better, but as different. Being true to who you are takes courage.

• Revisiting Episode 1: Practice self awareness. The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness.

• Revisiting Episode 2: Understand the roles you played as a child. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's performance.

• Revisiting Episode 3: To be a standout, highly respected leader today you must be both compassionate AND strong, NOT compassionate OR strong.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Charlotte Castillo, Managing Director for Poderistas®. She is open, raw, and real as she shares how she has taken the life lessons that came her way and built a global career and dynamic personal life.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• Being the Chief Translator for her family at age 7 taught her she had a deep reservoir of courage, the ability to figure things out even though they were beyond her years and that fear wasn't an option.

• When it comes to new opportunities Charlotte tells us to; be open, trust the forks in the road, and review them through the lens of "Why not"

• Don't lose yourself in society's or anyone else's definition of success, create priorities that maintain balance & focus, and align with who you are & what you want to achieve.

• Life is short. Look beyond the money, assess what you really want, what brings you joy, and build your life and career from that place.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Dr. Fergus Connolly, an elite performance coach. We return to our series today with the intent of helping you to realize your leadership potential. We highlight the very real correlation between self-reflection and success, and the impact that addressing your limiting beliefs has on reaching your full potential.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• There is great power in creating space for self-reflection. Self-reflection is crucial to understanding and improving one's behavior.

• Intentionally setting roadblocks is imperative in leadership. Rather than relying on external factors for success, it forces one to be more mindful and self accountable.

• The transformation that takes place when you practice self-awareness. Creating space for self-awareness and reflection will help one to better understand how we react and respond in every interaction.

• Any and all success begins within. Fergus tells us that this is one of the most critical pieces in reaching your full potential.

• What's the role you played as a child? If you don't make peace with your natural inclinations when tensions arise, you miss the opportunity to learn, adjust, and grow.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Dan Rockwell, Leadership Freak and co-author of The Vagrant. He highlights the value of structured self reflection and tells us, "Somewhere along the way, you learn to trust the things in your heart - the frustrations, the joys, the aspirations - and somehow give them away in a way that makes sense to other people."

In today's episode, we discuss:

• Leaders who show up with openness, a curiosity to listen, and learn, have the ability to bring out the best in people. If you're not listening well, you're not serving yourself or others very well.

• Be yourself, and bring value. Don't worry that you're not the perfect solution to every situation, just give what you have.

• Self-reflection in isolation leads to self deception. Dan tells us, "I'm encouraging leaders to invite others into the process."

• There is great power in understanding the value and importance of others on your journey. There are a lot of other people in the world who want to help when you invite them.

• The transformation that takes place when you engage in structured self-reflection daily, as a constant re-evaluation of who you are.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, Dr. Fergus Connolly, (one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance) and I launch a new series titled "Next Level Leader," where we focus on, elevating your leadership in a meaningful, impactful, and sustainable way. All to assist you in advancing to the next level on your leadership journey. Highlighting the very real correlation between self awareness and success, and the impact that your personal leadership style offers.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• The level of success you achieve is directly connected to your level of self-awareness. (mic drop) Making increased self-awareness the foundation that all future success stands on.

• The transformation takes place when you dropkick judgment to the curb and replace it with curiosity. Judgment holds you back, curiosity opens doors to your brilliance and expands opportunities!

• There's not just one way to lead. Fergus tells us, "So many different leaders lead wonderfully in so many different ways."

• What you do naturally is of great value. Rather than discounting what comes easiest to you, understand the importance and impact it offers. There is more value in what you do naturally than you think!

• Ongoing development is imperative in leadership. When you further develop areas and improve, you become a more resilient leader over time.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with with one of the world's leading experts in optimizing team and human performance, Fergus Connolly, Elite Performance Coach.

He shares his story, how he helps top CEO's, Elite athletes, and Coaches (think, NBA, MLB, NFL…) around leadership, authenticity, and high performance.

In today's episode, we discuss:

• To achieve elite levels of success you have to drop kick the advice of "Stay in Your Lane" to the curb.

• There is great power in asking questions and encouraging curiosity in regard to feeding your drive and finding solutions outside of your comfort zone..

• Ask why, why, why in an attempt to understand the deeper meaning in every interaction.

• What we can do to be an elite performer in our own rite, and to refine what we do exceptionally well as we grow.

• The transformation that takes place when you have the courage to ask yourself who you want to be and where you want to go.

Listen in to uncover the keys to self-motivation and achieving the highest level of performance!
