Plant Your Flag

I finally sit down with Greg and we talk about our favorite topics like mentorship, helping others and making an impact where you are with what you have. How you are able to interact with people is the most important skill of anyone today whatever profession we chose to help others and solve problems with. So we talk a little about the dynamics and, well, just hang out. 

FocalPoint Coach, professional speaker, and total rockstar Laura Leaton and I discuss what leadership looks like and how to practice it. We have to agree to drop the books and start learning from the people around us and perhaps we find who we are as a leader along the way. We take this big word "leader" out of its mystic and supernatural pretense and try to talk about it in the way that makes sense to us and the people we impact. 

I think, therefore I am. Remember when we used to think more of ourselves? Also, remember when we used to grow up on a farm? I talk about the importance of our thoughts, our environment and how that is all in your control.

Today I talk a little about why creating metrics for your life helps you measure, calibrate, and catalyst the things that you are trying to do. The goals that you want to achieve and I talk loosely on industrial egg farming.

Jon and Jake try their best to introduce themselves and preview a little of what is to come of these podcasts. They share some of their passion for going into the field of training and development and introduce people that played a key role along the way.
