The FRONT: A Leadership Podcast

It's important that when someone is wanting or needing to connect that we make the time. This can be for management or leadership, listening to their people. Vice-versa this is important from an employee perspective when you need to connect with someone else.

One of the keys is not just to listen, but to truly hear what it is that the other party is trying to communicate.

Tune in today and let's talk about having meaningful conversations.

With me, this week on The FRONT is a multi-talented businessman, speaker, and author... David Villa!

David Villa is the founder and CEO of iPD, a marketing, media and training firm that works with companies of all sizes and industries across the United States. He has over 20 years of national sales and executive management experience that he brings to his company.

David is a highly sought-after motivational speaker that brings innovation, excitement, and fire to any stage he is on!

1. Motivation. These are the things we see outwardly, such as on social media or other outlets, maybe if you don't know them. 
2. Inspiration. This happens when we can actually engage with other people and be impactful.
3. Influence. This is a high area of leadership when you can really affect other peoples lives.

I asked David what are three characteristics of great leaders, or leaders he is looking for in his organization. I thought he had a really great answer. He said he doesn't often hire leadership from the outside. First off, he said they do a lot of growing people and promoting from within. This by itself is a great statement and forward-thinking leadership example.

He said that he looks for servitude, that servant leadership. Because of the fact that "leader's lead." People that are passionate, because passion is contagious. Someone who has passion doesn't just light their own fire, they light others that are around them! Third, is persistence. How do they handle themselves when they fail? Do they learn and move on, or do they dwell on the failure? Those characteristics in people are ones that propel leaders forward.

Fantastic. You must tune in and watch this whole show!

It was really great to connect with David and have an awesome conversation and get his insight and wisdom on leadership. Make sure and check out this great addition to the “Live Leadership Lesson Series”

You may not be likely to achieve perfection. So many people that are successful are chasing perfection.

https://youtu.be/Eb9UrlyyeUk

Pursuing perfection isn’t about being a perfectionist, or even ever catching it. It’s about checking your work though, and then double checking your work.

I think that everything that you are chasing should be a pursuit to make the physical world as good as the amazing things that we have in our heads. It’s hard for many people to ever achieve and match the visions that are in their head, to what is real life. Part of the advantage of chasing that imagination and that perfection is it creates an unbelievable journey.

Me right now with video - I get a lot of compliments on the productions I create. I had someone comment the other night about how every time I get new equipment that those shows always have a ton of engagement and views. The thing is, I am just pushing a little bit more each time to get the type of message and production out in the video so that it matches the excellence in my head.

When you pursue perfection in anything, even if you don’t ever get it “perfect,” you never catch perfection, you will achieve such a high level of excellence in the process - you will have achieved something that others only dream of.

So in that pursuit, here are seven things that I would recommend you do in your pursuit of perfection.

1. Get clarity in your mind.
2. Work on yourself, every single day.
3. Check your work. (Double check it).
4. Try two more times.
5. Be ok with change.
6. Acknowledge that perfection is unattainable.
7. Accept the excellence that comes in the process of mastery.

So keep getting up early, keep fueling passion, keep chasing sunsets. There is power in the pursuit.

Have a great day!

He embodies the attitude of servitude and really wants his people to succeed. He even made the comment that he would love to see them go on to a level of success so that they could be in his position!

When I asked him about his favorite three characteristics of a good leader, he had a simple and to the point response. First, Matt said, "Let me tell you more than a good leader, this is what GREAT leaders possess:

1. They must have a servant's heart. Do the things that they expect of others.
2. Lead by example.
3. Operate with integrity.

This was overall a really great interview! We even talked about unicorns... and the unicorn perspective on leadership... seriously!

One of my favorite quotes that Matt shared is this:

We talked about so many other great aspects of leadership. Being a coach, a mentor, a leader and SO many more! Tune in and check it out!

You know I have either been involved in, or watched some unkind things happening around me lately. So I thought I would just share this reminder today.

How does it fit in with the FRONT - It’s hard sometimes to stay kind to people or situations that we disagree with.

https://youtu.be/CZROs4Dc1qI

Nice is pleasant; agreeable; satisfactory, fine or subtle

Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.  Kindness takes grace.

They are not the same.

And there are benefits to being kind.

Everyone is affected by an act of kindness. Kindness is contagious and you never know just how big of an impact a small gesture of kindness can have.

Kindness improves our quality of life and It brings people together.

One of the unique things I have been thinking to myself about kindness is this: contrary to popular belief, kindness is not weakness. It is the ability to stay nice and considerate even when difficulty arises. It’s not sacrificing your values for another person, or the situation at hand. That is how you maintain your grace and stay kind at the same time.

It does not mean that you agree with, or condone someone else's position. Simply that you will not trash them for having that position.

Be kind, share a smile.

This is not my normal type of show for “The FRONT” however since I am often doing a lot of Live Streaming, I thought I would share some tips that I use to have successful shows.

What better way to have this discussion than through a live stream! If you have questions pop them in the sidebar or the YouTube comments. So here we go.

https://youtu.be/jXigAuJlAHY

1. Test your equipment. Includes whatever it is that you are using. Camera’s, lights, phone, mic, etc
2. Be prepared. You don’t need a script, but you do need a plan.
3. Be consistent. Just like uploads, people need days or times that you plan to post so they can participate.

• Bonus - Don’t worry about labels. Just be yourself and carry your message.

My message is always training, motivation, and leadership.

What are your suggestions for a great live stream session?

These are business principles that I have learned throughout my time in business, as a youth sports coach, and in leadership. So tune in and check them out!

https://youtu.be/64z2mLZ4U0A

1. Success will not depend on your education, but on your attitude and the actions you take.
2. You are either rich or you are poor. It’s a mentality. There is no in between.
3. True freedom comes from more than a 40-hour work-week. Entrepreneurs understand this. Real success is that you work while you are awake.
4. No one else truly cares if you succeed or fail. Your view of success and someone else’s view of failure may be much closer together than you think.
5. You must learn how to sell, whether you like it or not, you will always be selling, yourself, your product, your company.
6. You will never get paid what you deserve unless you sell. You must negotiate it. Be confident in yourself and what you have to offer.
7. You'll get paid the most to do what others refuse to do. Be an expert in simplicity. Nike has built their whole company on this slogan. “JUST DO IT.”
