Finally, Mary advises us on what we can do in our roles to lead more effectively.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 44, Bob Mosher’s storytelling helps us deliver the truth to executives, hiring smart professionals, and encourages us to remove barriers that limit capabilities.

00:00 Prologue

From public school teaching to consulting with McDonald’s, Bank of America, Herman Miller, Hitachi, Disney University, and Progressive Insurance (to name only a few), Bob has helped executives rethink how they develop talent and provided a countless number of training solutions. Not only does Bob help clients, but he also gives back to the talent-development profession through his stewardship.

01:40 Part 1: Delivering the Truth

As professionals advance to a senior role in an organization, they become more removed from customer-facing interactions. They often rely on other employees to understand what is happening within the organization. Bob shares a story about an executive who makes it safe to deliver messages, even when messages aren’t positive.

During a business meeting in Europe, Bob describes how a subordinate expressed a controversial opinion and what didn’t happen afterward.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 31, Matt Crump shares a story about how a U.S. Army soldier influenced him to radically change his life – without ever asking him to change. Matt also talks about how he was affected when someone believed in him. Matt then advises us to FLIP, which is an acronym of four guiding principles.

00:00 Prologue

Matt is an extraordinary professional who lives a full life! In the links below, I highly recommend watching his video, “I choose life, not cancer!” Not only has Matt served in the U.S. Army, owned a record store, and served as a Christian pastor, he is an author, Founder & CEO of MCM Inc, a podcast host, owner of S&W Design Studios, and owner of Sandhills Music Center. He is a business coach and consultant who helps executives, entrepreneurs, and individuals to align their beliefs and actions.

01:15 Part 1: The Influence that Led Matt to a Mountaintop

We can influence in lifechanging ways. Matt shares a story about how a brother U.S. Army soldier influenced him to give up alcohol and drugs but without trying to change Matt.

Because of his battle with stage four cancer, Matt gave up his music store and being a full-time pastor. Matt shares how a publishing house and one of their writers believed in him and his story about cancer.

15:45 Part 3: If You FLIP, You Become More than a Role

Too often, we link our identity to our business role. With most of our time dedicated to a role, I can understand why a role becomes your purpose. Matt challenges us to FLIP, which is an acronym that can lead you to overcome life obstacles and change how you perceive your work and your roles.
