Today's episode Features Dr. Stanley Ward. He is the founder and principal of Influence Coaching, LLC and is an esteemed leadership coach. We discuss burnout and learning to manage the drive that helps you be a great leader while not doing damage to yourself and those around you. View yourself and others as "engines." Some of us are diesel engines(heavy loads at low rpm), others are gasoline (same loads, higher RPM) but cannot go as far. Dr. Ward also mentions a book by Thomas Kilman and talks about how we can think of all conflicts as concern for self or a concern for others. In identifying these, try using the phrase, "Here's what I need from you, what do you need from me?" If work is not getting done and if good people are in place, assume it is processes. Burnout can come from being micromanaged. Also being withdrawn from people and being cynical.

Today's guest is Susan Sloan, the author of A Seat at the Table: Women, Diplomacy, and Lessons for the World. She's not only an author, but also a world travel-having been to all seven continents. Susan discusses how bringing people of different backgrounds, races and genders can give us strength in numbers. The thought that the people making the decisions to affect others should roughly reflect the demographics of the people they represent. In leadership, strength in numbers can be positive or negative. They can be used to make positive change or enable groupthink. Susan also speaks of gender equality and going into detail of some gender attributes and how utilizing them together in the workplace is the "secret sauce." Gender attributes are not all-encompassing, but being aware of them in addition to finding your team's strengths and weaknesses can take your team to the next level. Through Susan's studies, she's discovered the ideal percentage breakdown between genders in the workplace. I'm not going to give it away, listen to the episode!

To be successful in leadership, you need to have GRIT. What is grit? Well according to the article mentioned/linked below, GRIT is having the passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals. You can be smart and talented but without grit, all of your natural talents could quickly turn into wasted potential. You can become grittier by recognizing that things are difficult and make the conscious decision to keep pushing yourself. Persevere through the struggle knowing that you will come out on the other end, in the long term, better for it. The article mentioned in the episode.

This episode revolves around an episode of the Order of Man Podcast that I listened to. There's a lot of great stuff in the episode, and I encourage you to check it out-link below. The Privilege Mindset. Sure, some people are born with unique opportunities that others do not have at birth. Is the expectation that I NOT capitalize/leverage those gifts that I was given so that I can make others feel better? Absolutely not. If you have gifts or advantages (even if they are "unfair") USE THEM. Just because people have something, does not always mean that you cannot have something. You are not fat, just because someone else it ripped. You are not poor, because someone else is rich. It's a great way to think about life in general. If you show me someone who is ripped (in shape) I will show you someone who does more stuff than you. This doesn't just apply to working out. Think about it in general. For this example, people are in great shape still have the same feelings everyone else does. There's days they don't feel like working out because they are tired, sore, busy, etc. But the difference between that person and others is that they suck it up and still do it. They make the decision to execute and get to work when it is much easier to do nothing. Be obsessed with visions. Picture your goals and dreams coming to fruition. Visualize what will occur and how it looks and feels when you achieve that goal. Also, look at your goals and think about the type of person who is already there. The example is owning a $26 million home. Sure, it's easy to do the math of what it takes to get there (NOT easy to earn the money to get there) but imagine what the person who is already there does. How does he live his life? What does he do when he wakes up? How does he treat his spouse? How does he treat his kids? How does he run his business? How does he lead in his community? Why do people get triggered? It's because someone else has something, and the person who is triggered because he is not willing to do the work to get it. Plain and simple.

I don't like movements or people that tell you to settle where you are. You should never settle for mediocrity and should ALWAYS (yes, an absolute) try to be better. If you are paying for a coach and he is telling you that "you are enough," what are you paying that person for? Coaches should be pushing you and putting you in uncomfortable situations so that you grow and become better. Growth and long-term success does not come from being constantly comfortable. We do not have control over other peoples' opinions. We should not change ourselves with the intent of changing someone's opinion. Other peoples' opinions are outside of our control. So that means we could change ourselves (internal decision within our control) and we still may not change the opinion of another person (external decision, outside of our control). Don't waste your time and energy trying to change for others. If you want to change, be deliberate about it and do it for YOU! Being mediocre is addicting. The "you are enough" movement encourages that addiction to mediocrity. Be more than mediocre, be great! People who talk the most trash, are often doing the least. Agree?

Joey Held is a fellow podcaster who hosts two podcasts Good People, Cool Things and Parks and Wrecked and is a pro on storytelling. Joey discusses storytelling and ways to effectively communicate to your listeners. Some easy ways are simply putting yourself in the shoes (or shoe) of your audience in order to build relatability and credibility. Think of a comedian who makes a living telling jokes about fatherhood and other adult related topics. That comedian then decides to take his act to college campuses. The story (or jokes, in this case) are not relatable to the audience, therefore there were not seen as "funny." In this example, the comedian was able to figure out the disparity and then tweaked his message to speak to his audience. If all you are trying to do is promote yourself, it will not turn out well!

Today's episode features Max Warren, Co-founder and CRO of SpeakerFlow. His background is in Corporate sales with a focus on Voice, data and video applications and products and recently, he's been focusing on Business Development and Inside Sales in Professional Services. A brief outline of our conversation is below: Intentional Thoughts and Actions As leaders we have to have intentionality in thoughts AND action. Bring full presence to a situation, think about leading someone, biggest thing is having a clear idea of where you are leading them, front or behind. Be intentional about it because you have that responsibility on your shoulders and need to have an aim and outcome in mind. Without a clear intention, how do you get others to buy in and come together as a team? Communicate how actions now get to larger picture Restate person’s statement, “what I heard you say was…” shared intention, active listening, start with questions Get on call and have a meeting, at end, come back and ask, “do you feel like we covered everything?” Gives them buy in and makes them feel validated. Make a shared experience, not feeling hijacked, ASK QUESTIONS to ge clarity, repeat things back Can’t lead someone who is disengaged, no sense of cohesiveness or trust- MUST get their buy in Conflict and leadership Show people how what they’re doing moves the needle for everyone. Conflict, no definition of success, how can people figure out what is expected of them? Lack of communication or leaving vacuum of unknowns does not work. When someone's back is against the wall-the immediate response is to be defensive and to blame. Part of intention is being a student of those around you-emotional intelligence Have to care, be socially aware of what makes them tick, plays to their strengths SHARED INTENTION is an art Words have meaning and become more persuasive when there’s empathy behind them.

This episode features  Nelson Toriano (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nelsonetoriano/) , the founder/CEO of Coach Nelly Toriano LLC. He has also written a book, the link at at the bottom of this page. Nelson has a passion for the fitness industry but noticed a trend. The trend was that many personal trainers and gym owners did not know basic business practices. Nelson noticed this trend and in addition to coaching people in fitness, began coaching personal trainers in entrepreneurship, sales, marketing and basic accounting practices. Part of his business includes frequent speaking engagements to organizations and college students. Nelson discusses some of the ways he prepares for these speaking engagements and things that he does during his speech to maximize audience engagement and receive quality feedback from his listeners.   Unrelated to the theme of this podcast, the end of the episode features a few exercises to get shredded abs. I don't like it, but the first suggested exercise is the plank. Listen to the episode for the other two!

This week's episode features  Divya Parekh (https://www.linkedin.com/in/divyaparekh/) , who is an author and business and leadership coach explains to us how we can provide feedback to our teams (even negative feedback) professionally and with empathy. As leaders, we must set ground rules, or expectations for our team members. During this time, we inform of our team of what we need/want them to do and what occurs if they do not live up to these expectations. Setting these guidelines up-front communicates a clear message of what will happen in the future if an employee does or does not do something. Much of the anxiety in the workplace results in coming from unknowns, so the clearer and more transparent that we can be in telling our team what they can expect to happen, we reduce that feeling of the unknown. Divya also discusses mindfulness and the importance of being present in the moment. It's so easy to want to always be thinking of the future or what we will say next. How can we be active listeners and mindful of what others are saying if we are brainstorming what we will say next? I had a lot of fun recording this and Divya dropped some major knowledge bombs and opened my eyes to new ways of seeing some important leadership topics.  Check out Divya's book,  Expert to Influencer: How To Position Yourself for Meaningful Impact.  (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TDN3BYX/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=highhopesinit-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B07TDN3BYX&linkId=14b2051a369f24b0dff35a00c0d8ae3f) If you find this content valuable and would like access to some cool perks, become a patron, here https://www.patreon.com/talkingllamamedia.

This week marks a very first for the Get Heard Podcast.   Dina Brenci (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dina-brenci-97ab02172/)  is a dating coach. How does a dating coach relate to leadership or communication? I'm so glad you asked! Leadership is similar to dating in that to be successful, we must first believe in ourselves. Self limiting beliefs are detrimental to our success in both of these fields. To overcome this, we need to understand that we are unique individuals and not try to be someone else. Be present in the moment! How much of life has passed you by because you were too engaged in social media or not aware of what was going on around you? Dina mentions that when we are communicating with others through text messages, it's so easy to forget that there's a person at the other end who has real, human feelings. How many times do you find yourself communicating with the phone instead of the person on the other end? We also discuss Dating with Scrum. What is it? I won't spoil the surprise, listen to this episode!

While you may not yet have the most experience, you should know the ins and outs of your job from a technical level so that you can clearly understand what your employees are doing. Asking for feedback is not a sign of weakness! It shows that you are self-aware and approachable.  I hope you enjoy this episode and would love if you could leave this podcast a review!

This week, I speak with one of my mentors, Peter Hornberger. Peter and I met while I was attending graduate school at Kutztown University from 2011-2012 and I had the privilege of working for him as a graduate assistant. In this episode, Peter discusses culture and creating one where communication is allowed to live and prosper.  Peter states that the foundation to building a solid culture is understanding the "WHY" of the organization and for it to really stick and be effective, it must be understood by all employees. As leaders, we are often able to transfer the "WHAT" to our team. Like, "I need you to do X and here's how you can do it" but getting your team to see the "WHY" is much more difficult.  Peter and I also discuss that during the hiring process, we should not only be looking for hard skills, but also look for those who fit the culture. We can often teach people how to do day to day tasks once they are hired, but often cannot teach someone to understand the "WHY" and be a natural fit into the organizational culture.

We often receive feedback and don't really LISTEN to what it is telling us or we take it personally instead of using it to grow as a leader. Today, Matt Kuchera and I discuss the gift of feedback. It is a gift, in that people do not owe it to you. It takes time and energy for someone to give it to you and with that being said, you should at least listen to what the person has to say. Sure, there are people out there who give terrible feedback, but as leaders, we must be direct and show some tact and candor when delivering it. It's not personal, it's just business! ( See High Hopes Initiative Episode 15 (https://www.buzzsprout.com/377215/1866991-hhi-e15-it-s-not-personal-it-s-business.mp3?blob_id=6753365&download=true) ) Matt also discusses that a leaders, we do not have to be the smartest in the room. We must have the big picture mindset and be able to orchestrate all the people and other moving pieces effectively to obtain results.   To be up to date on all of my latest happenings, follow me on: LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/ianroth1/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ianroth1/) Twitter (https://twitter.com/GetHeardPodcast) Find out more at  (https://www.getheardpodcast.com/)  and shoot me an email at ian@getheardpodcast.com Support this podcast

This week's episode is with the president of Green Up Solutions and TEDx speaker, Andy Weins. Andy discuss leadership lessons that he's learned over his years as an entrepreneur and believes in leading from the front. When it comes to leading, it's Andy's mindset that he's not going to send his employees into the fire until he makes sure it's hot. We also discuss selfless service and how in pretty much any situation, you can never be wrong for doing it-it's very hard to be wrong always putting others first.  Andy then talks about seizing opportunities as they present themselves. How often does someone who's struggling see an opportunity and walk away? One this that Andy said that really stuck with me is, "Own your pain, transform it into your passion to define your purpose." When it comes to getting better at something, trying something new, or taking a risk, JUST DO THE THING. Try it and if it doesn't work, adjust fire and keep trying!

Hello my Get Heard Herd! This is the first ever episode that I recorded "live." Live in that I recorded it unedited and with an accompanying video (link below). We often hear about blogging and journaling as a form or therapy-a way to get things off our chest and vent. Getting things out of your head and onto some sort of medium is extremely helpful and stress-relieving. If we can do this with writing, why not podcasting? That's exactly what this episode is about! Not only do I love creating quality audio content for you all, but it is so nice to be able to speak my mind and share it with other like-minded individuals. I feel so much better and calmer after a few hours of recording and editing podcasts. I can feel myself unwind there stress just leaves my body.

Today's guest, Amanda Huffman from Women of the Military Podcast, and I discuss the importance of two things that are often overlooked in many organizations: mentorship and servant leadership. Have you ever had effective mentors? I have been blessed to have several over my life and can honestly say, that I would not be where I am today without them. Amanda shares some stories of how mentors played a role in her life and how she is now able to give back by mentoring other young women. Servant leadership, is much more than simply putting the needs of others before your own. Amanda explains what servant leadership means to her and how it has helped her as an Air Force officer and mentor throughout her life.

Do you find yourself apologizing for things you didn't do?  Do you find yourself asking your employees to do things for you, even when it is your job to tell them what to do? If you answered yes to either of these questions or even have a difficult time tasking your employees with things to do, you've landed on the right episode! In today's episode, I discuss an amazing article that an amazing LinkedIn connection, Gary Steensgard (https://www.linkedin.com/in/garysteensgard/) , shared that reviews 7 things you may not even realize you are doing that tell others that you are not a confident leader.  The link to the article can be found HERE (https://www.inc.com/marla-tabaka/7-phrases-that-scream-lack-of-confidence-and-make-you-look-weak.html) .  To be up to date on all of my latest happenings, follow me on: LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/ianroth1/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ianroth1/) RSS (https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/377215.rss) Find out more at (https://www.getheardpodcast.com) and shoot me an email at ian@getheardpodcast.com Hey everybody, this is Ian from the Get Heard with Ian Roth podcast.

Follow me on LinkedIn, Instagram. If you like what you're hearing, haven't subscribed yet, please do so on Spotify, Apple podcasts, and I think most of all on Stitcher. So, getting to the point today. The podcast is about an article that I read on inc.com that was shared by one of the awesome LinkedIn connections that I have. So, Gary, if you're listening to this, shout out to you but the article from Inc is entitled: Seven phrases that scream lack of confidence and make you look weak.  As a leader or as leaders, we do not want to look weak in front of our team, in front of our organization, whoever. So, when communicating, we need to make sure that we come across and that our team's perception of us is one of confidence so that they can trust us. They can trust in their leader to get things done and fight the good fight for them on their behalf when you need to do so. These are seven phrases that scream lack of confidence, and I'll go through them with you. Some of them I really agree on. Some of them I really agree with. Some of them, man, not so much but here's the first one jumping right into it. I hate to bother you, but is number one. So, the Inc article says you don't really hate to bother someone when something is important enough that it can wait. What you hate is your discomfort about voicing whatever it is that you have to say and the response that you'll receive. So, this phrase puts the person in complete control and gives away all of your power. So it's like you're asking a favor of someone and I can tell you, if you're a leader and you need someone on your team to do something, you don't hate to bother that person, you need to as the leader, tell that person to do something and you're not inconveniencing that person at all. It's your job as a leader to direct and manage and lead what that person is doing so you're not bothering that person. You're just doing your job. So, don't feel sorry for what you're doing when you're doing your job. Not saying; I hate to bother you, but, shows that your confidence, just say, "Hey, john, I need you to do this." Too easy, right? But by being you wouldn't be polite about how you get someone or ask someone to do something, but you don't want to put yourself in a weak or vulnerable perspective when doing so.  Number two is I'm sorry.

When preparing or practicing a speech, have you ever heard the concept of looking around the room and associating different items, sounds or smells with certain parts of your speech?  This is one of the many topics relating to the psychology of communication and public speaking that Eric and I discuss on today's episode.  To read the article that Eric mentions, follow the link: Get Excited: Reappraising Pre-Performance Anxiety as Excitement (https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/xge-a0035325.pdf) .

There are few things that make me more frustrated than when people speak in absolutes.  How often have you heard, "you ALWAYS", or "he NEVER" or how about "there's NOBODY?"  Speaking in absolutes means you are making a statement that is encompassing an entire group of people, with no exceptions. Speaking this way not only, most of the time, makes you look like a buffoon, but it is just a terrible way to communicate and is usually statistically incorrect.  When you say something like "I never," I'm sure that there's been a time, maybe only once, where you actually did what you said you've never done. As leaders, we need to speak effectively while being reliable and trustworthy.  Consistently speaking is absolutes is a quick way for people to not take you seriously and to stop following you.  A great way to avoid speaking in absolutes is to use words like "most" or "many."  Do not account for a whole group if you are not absolutely sure that what you are saying applies to 100% of the group.  If you are going to speak in absolutes, make sure you do your research!  To be up to date on all of my latest happenings, follow me on: LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/ianroth1/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ianroth1/) RSS (https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/377215.rss) Find out more at (https://www.getheardpodcast.com) and shoot me an email at ian@getheardpodcast.com Support the show (http://patreon.com/getheardpodcast) (http://patreon.com/getheardpodcast) Support this podcast

I explain three words (all beginning with the letter P, obviously) that can make you a more effective and impactful public speaker.  They are: Posture- Having your chin up and standing up straight-not only makes you appear more confident, but it allows you to more easily... Projection- Speak at a volume and in a tone that is not only easy to hear (in the front and back of the room) but easy to listen to (speak in a clear, medium paced voice) Pausing- instead of using filler words (ummm...like...), allow silence.  This not only provides time for you to collect your thoughts, but it grabs the audience's attention and makes them anxious and excited for what you will say next. If you are able to implement these three things, you will become a more effective public speaker and communicator.  To be up to date on all of my latest happenings, follow me on: LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/ianroth1/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/ianroth1/) RSS (https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/377215.rss) Find out more at (https://www.getheardpodcast.com) and shoot me an email at ian@getheardpodcast.com Support the show (http://patreon.com/getheardpodcast) (http://patreon.com/getheardpodcast) Support this podcast

I had the privilege to interview Dr. Naphtali Hoff, author of the book Becoming the New Boss.  We discussed delegation and the fact that in order to be effective leaders, we must delegate some of our tasks and know how to delegate effectively.  As leaders, it is crucial for us to be emotionally intelligent.  Much like IQ (intelligence quotient), EQ (emotional quotient) measures our interpersonal and communication skills.  Naphtali also discusses some of the challenges that he's seen when one goes from becoming an employee with no oversight of other people to a manager.

Today, I discuss three pet peeves that drive me crazy when communicating with people, they LITERALLY make me sick.  (That is one of the things). Do you know when to use "lesser" vs "fewer?"  When reading emails, do you see people who have no idea when to use the word "then" vs "than?" While these things may seem trivial and insignificant, using these words and phrases incorrectly makes you sound like you don't know what you're talking about and therefore decreases your credibility.  As a leader, you MUST be credible and you MUST be trustworthy.  Learn how to avoid making these 3 common mistakes so that you can communicate more effectively as a leader.

Sometimes in business and leadership, we have to make difficult decisions.  We need to make decisions that are not in the best interests of an individual, but in the best interests of the business/organization. Personally, these have been some of the most difficult, trying times in my career.  How can I put the betterment of an organization, an impersonal entity over the needs of a flesh and blood human being? It's not easy.  As leaders, we are entrusted to see that the business thrives and is around year after year.  Think about it this way.  Would you rather keep one person around and have the company struggle?  Or would you rather have to potentially let someone go so that the company, and the other employees of the company, thrive and are able to carry on.

Do you ever hear people at your work say, "Well that's not my problem?"  It's a phrase commonly used to remove personal responsibility from a situation.  Well guess what. As a leader, there is no such thing as "not my problem." If you are a leader in your organization, problems are there for you to solve.  As a leader, people bring you their problems and you assist in solving them.  While something may not be "your" problem, the fact that someone is bringing you his problem shows that he has trust in you and respects your experience and you as a person. The time people stop coming to you with their problems is the time where you are no longer a leader...
