The Rooftop Podcast

Hey, Rooftop leaders! Let me ask you a question as I welcome you to 2021, how are you saying goodbye to 2020?

When we say things like, “I just can't wait for the year to be in my rear-view mirror”, or “I just want to put it behind me”, or even “I never want to think about it again”. It means that we came out on the losing side of that issue or challenge. It means that the environment owned us, instead of us owning the environment.

The problem that I have with that, is that the times that we live in right now, they really speak to surviving versus thriving. Even when we get kicked in the teeth, even when things happen to us that knock us down, we have to find a way to thrive in these, and all the grubby times. 

This was a lesson that a lot of wise and experienced Green Beret sergeants taught me on some very dark days when things went very, very badly. Find a way, to learn to thrive.

Join me by the fire-pit and let’s ask the question, “How Are You Saying Goodbye to 2020?”.

I’ll see you on the Rooftop….

Hey, Rooftop leaders. How are you doing? I know we are in some very turbulent times right now going through the election and on the other side of the election.

I can tell you in my time as a Green Beret working in trust depleted environments all over the world, I've seen these places before. So, I'm speaking to you right now as a veteran, I'm speaking to you as a citizen, I'm speaking to you as a Rooftop leader.

My ask is that we take a look at what's happening around us in our operational environment and really take stock of it and ask ourselves, "How can we bridge through this election?"

Join me and let’s talk about talk about, “Bridging Through Election”.

How in the world do we learn to trust each other again? That's a question that's been on my mind a lot lately, and I bet it's probably been on your mind. I've had high school teachers ask me this. I've had business owners ask me this. I've had community activists asking me this same question.

How do we trust each other again? There's been, so much damage to the fabric of our society over the last six months, that it's really hard to imagine how we're going to bring it back together, but we have to.

Join me by the fire pit as we work through how we, “Learn to Trust Each Other Again”.

I’ll see you on the Rooftop,

Today we're talking about disengagement. How do you as a leader, whether you are a community leader, a stay at home dad, whether you work in the corporate realm, a small business owner, maybe you're in the military, but how do you overcome disengagement with your people?

We know that humans are meaning seeking creatures. We know that without purpose in our life, we perish. Whether you are an individual or part of an organization, we must have purpose in our life.

There's an overwhelming body of research that shows that humans are meaning seeking creatures. We crave purpose. We take action driven by purpose.

Join me by the fire-pit as we discuss, “Leading Through Disengagement”.

The three primary components that I believe make up “The Churn”‘ are Distraction, Disengagement and Distrust, and they’ve gotten worse over the years.

Today, I want to talk about distraction and more importantly, I want to talk about how distraction shows up in your life as a leader, and what you can do to overcome it.

Understand that distraction is a part of life and as humans, we’re easily distracted, but because we live in such an information age, distraction has gotten more and more prolific in our life.

Join me by the fire-pit and let’s talk about 3 Steps to Overcoming Distraction.

This notion that you have to go off somewhere and find yourself, and find your passion, I just don't buy it. I don't think that's the way it works.

I think the universe rewards our passion through the purpose that we can envision for ourselves, through the work that we do when no one's looking.

The universe rewards our passion through purpose by putting one foot in front of the other and iterating with fanatical focus on that purpose, and then executing the reps that go into it, quality reps, and then we endure the pain and the frustration that comes along with it, until that passion becomes rocket fuel.

Join me by the fire-pit and let’s learn together how, Action Leads to Passion.

These last six months have been unprecedented, but the churn in the next six months is going to pose more challenges to us than at any other point in our history as human beings. Regardless of your discipline, regardless of your party, regardless of what you believe, we're going to face more challenges and more obstacles than ever.

The churn is a combination of distraction, disengagement, and distrust. When these three things combine, it creates caustic corrosion in the environments we need to lead. 

In this Rooftop Leadership webinar, I'm going to give you insight into how to think about the human terrain, how to think about the churn, and show you how the churn shows up...whether it's in tribal Afghanistan or tribal America. 

How we orient to our operational environment in the next six months will determine how we either lead through it or get sucked into the churn ourselves.

I still remember the day that Wes and I made the decision to pivot. It was right after the pandemic had begun. The first speaking event that I was supposed to do was canceled, and Wes and I were already talking about what was coming. Wow.

We didn't waste any time. We looked at the arena, we retuned ourselves, and we said, you know what? The in-person engagements are probably going the way of the dinosaur, at least in 2020, we've got to pivot.

Join me by the fire pit and let’s talk about what we did and how to, “Know When to Pivot”.

How in the world are we going to maintain a face-to-face interaction and rapport with prospects and then bring them over to our side to inspire them to buy from us, when there's all this social distancing and we're wearing PPE.

We've normally never done remote sales. We didn't really do any remote sales in the beginning of the pandemic because we kept waiting for everything to open up.

Well now it looks like, at least between now and Labor Day or the fall, at a minimum, we're still going to be in this weird socially distanced environment. We may have to rely on remote, so how do we connect in a one-dimensional environment on WebEx or Zoom, and how do we sell like that?

Join me by the fire-pit and let’s discuss, “Connecting With Prospects in the New Normal”.
