The Dale & Kyle Show

Dressed in scrubs and a gown, Dale and his wife eagerly awaited the arrival of their first child. This moment was 9 months in the making and the day was finally here.

Pregnancy complications meant the baby would be arriving via a scheduled C-Section. After arriving at the hospital for a morning surgery they had now been waiting for 8 hours as other surgeries pushed back the C-Section.

At the last moment the surgeon arrived to tell them that they had run out of time and that they needed to come back in two days.

Two more days of waiting. Soul. Crushed.

This was Dale's experience the very day before we recorded this podcast. Coming off the back of a year of incredible uncertainty and change, we thought it would make a great topic to dive into for our second last podcast of the year.

We answer some common questions around uncertainty like:

What can I do to guarantee success with my new project or idea?
How can I change someone’s mind?
What do I do when the situation is out of my control?

Also Dale shares with us a framework he uses with organisation to help them with uncertainty:

1. Choose to be positive
2. Eat - Move - Sleep
3. Socialise
4. Be grateful
5. Play to your strengths
6. Be kind
7. Get organised
8. Work sensible hours
9. Be your own best mate
10. Talk - reach out and ask for help

We're back with a guest today on Lead Your Tribe, Kristoffer "KC" Carter of This Epic Life.

In this heart-felt conversation we talk about  the hecticness of parenting, meeting people at summer camps, risking get fired by starting a work newsletters, leading people in meditation, organising challenges and the different ways of being a coach.

We also talk about the difference between being connection and doing connection, waging campaigns for everyone to love us, being authentic online, taking on feedback and criticism and staying in it when it’s hard.

If any of that jumps out at you, then this is the episode for you!

Apologies for missing a week. We felt we'd rather share something great than just share something for the sake of it.

And great is the perfect word for this episode.

Here's what we cover:

Why you should measure your online success by engagement, not followers. How many and how often are people asking questions, contributing and getting involved in other ways? This might be through comments, emails or messages.

Find out what we recommend for different platforms and why your strategy for inspiring engagement on social media and private groups should be different from each other.

Did you know the way you engage your community depends on your personality? We're big believers on finding ways to do things where the energy you put in comes back to you. Engaging your community is no different. Some ways of engaging will drain some people, but light up others.

Good social media habits. Speaking of draining activities, how soul sucking can endless scrolling be? We share some ways to build good habits so you can spend less time scrolling and more time engaging.

Growing up for Anthony Bartolo meant saying goodbye to the support and community of the team sports he played as a child.

He couldn't quite find anything to replace it as an adult, so when he opened his gym ACTV Strength Co. he knew he wanted to create that same feeling of common ground and commitment for himself and his members.

Dale caught up with Anthony recently and the two of them talk about creating a great culture in your tribe. They cover:

• Going all-in on your business.
• Serving the wider community as a way of marketing and giving back.
• How to find new members.
• Pivoting to online when gyms were shut down.
• Keeping your community strong while they are apart.

Language warning: There is an F-bomb dropped in the last 5 minutes of the conversation so please be wary of that if your kids are listening in the background.

This incredibly timely episode is all about how we can keep showing up despite all of the setbacks this year.

Many thanks to Laura Varey who prompted this episode by asking us:

“Hi, Kyle and Dale, first of all I want to say thank you. I really do enjoy your podcasts and I listen to them each week. Thank you for inspiring us and being great leaders.

So I have a question that I’d love to hear more from you on, and that’s about how to measure your success. I think often we look to the numbers as our measure of success and this year for me, that’s been disappointing. So I need to measure my success with other values and probably less easy to measure.

And so I’d love to just hear your thoughts on that and how do you stay motivated when the numbers don’t make you feel successful? Thanks.”

We share:

• Our own setbacks this year and what we did to reframe them.
• What habits and activities help us stay motivated.
• How we define success for ourselves.
• Some practical tools for you to follow in defining your own success.

Putting yourself out there can be incredibly daunting, especially when you compare what you have to say with what other leaders and influencers out there are already doing.

We end up feeling ‘Imposter Syndrome’ and we end up just writing and sharing content that we think people want to hear. We water down what we have to say and that results in us feeling crummy because we aren’t sharing what makes us awesome and little to no engagement because the soul has been taken out of our content.

In this episode Dale and Kyle share some simple ways to help you find your voice when sharing things online.
