Episode 91 – Mentoring 101 Mentorship might seem like a buzzword, but it is not. Mentorship is about people. Mentorship is about sharing knowledge, getting to know others, guiding in the direction of success. The even better part is it is not about the mentor but instead the mentee. Brian & Ed explore the realm of mentorship and how you can accomplish it for greatness.   Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hPMh9JHHn7w   You can see more about the Instinctive Influencers at: Our website Link – instinctiveinfluencers.com Our Facebook Link - https://www.facebook.com/101influence/ Our Instagram Link - https://www.instagram.com/instinctiveinfluencers/ Our Twitter Link - https://twitter.com/101Influence   Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, and Review our show on the Facebook Page and Apple Podcast.

Episode 88 – Leadership Styles There are multiple leadership styles you can utilize. Knowing these different styles can help you become a force multiplier and an effective leader.

Episode 86 – Leadership Challenges As a leader of any organization, family, community, or group, you will constantly be challenged. Those challenges will come in so many forms.

The other part is being somewhat prepared. In this episode, Brian will walk you through 6 common leadership challenges and elaborate on them through his own experiences.

Episode 85 – Something to think about… How we interact with others can be a massive part of our influence. In this episode, Brian & Ed go through a list of some possible social rules you might live by or could start using. These rules are not all-inclusive and can be enhanced to assist you in your personal life. So here they are: Do not call someone more than twice continuously. If they do not pick up your call, resume they have something important to attend to. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person you borrowed it from asks you for it. It shows your integrity and character. The same goes for umbrellas, pens, and lunch boxes. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is paying. Do not ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren't married yet?' or ‘Don't you have kids?' or ‘Why didn't you buy a house?' or ‘Why don't you buy a car?' Remember, It isn't your problem. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It does not matter if it is a guy or gal, senior or junior. You do not grow small by treating someone well in public. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what is 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, a second opinion is good for an alternative. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all. If you tease someone, and they do not seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you are. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you. Praise publicly and criticize privately. There is almost never a reason to comment on someone's weight. Just say, “You look fantastic”. If they want to talk about losing weight, they will. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, do not swipe left or right. You never know what is next. If a colleague tells you, they have a doctor's appointment, do not ask what it is for, just say “I hope you're okay”. Do not put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they will do so without your inquisitiveness. Treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude. Never give advice until you are asked for it. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, do not ask them their age and salary. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly – just stay out of it. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. More so, eye contact is as important as your speech. Never talk about your riches amid the poor. Similarly, do not talk about your children among the barren. After reading a good message try to say “Thanks for the message”. Appreciation remains the easiest way of getting what you don't have…   Watch this episode on YouTube:   You can see more about the Instinctive Influencers at: Our website Link – instinctiveinfluencers.com Our Facebook Link - https://www.facebook.com/101influence/ Our Instagram Link - https://www.instagram.com/instinctiveinfluencers/ Our Twitter Link - https://twitter.com/101Influence   Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, and Review our show on the Facebook Page and Apple Podcast.

Episode 73 – Leadership during Crisis – Part 1 Leadership during a crisis can define you as a leader and everything Brian & Ed have discussed over the previous 72 episodes are what you need to be successful. A crisis is that defining moment that will show you your strengths and weaknesses. Brian & Ed answer a self-assessment you should look at yourself. I can make decisions and recommendations although under extreme time pressures. I stay composed when I have to deal with an urgent problem that is suddenly facing me. I almost never choke under pressure. When the pressure is heavy, I can give clear direction to other people. When someone else is facing a very difficult situation, I am reassuring and helpful. When faced with an emergency, I can make a good decision even without all the facts I need. When facing a major problem, I quickly get input from people who might have useful suggestions for dealing with the problem. If I am faced with a real mess that is mostly or partly my responsibility, I tell the truth about what happened. Brian & Ed then cover 6 of the twelve points of leadership during crisis management. Be decisive Lead with compassion Think Strategically (See the big picture) Communicate widely about the problem Reestablish the usual work routine Stick with constructive core values   You can see more about the Instinctive Influencers at: Our website Link – instinctiveinfluencers.com Our Facebook Link - https://www.facebook.com/101influence/ Our Instagram Link - https://www.instagram.com/instinctiveinfluencers/ Our Twitter Link - https://twitter.com/101Influence   Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, and Review on our show on the Facebook Page and Apple Podcast.

Episode 72 – Humility…Let’s not talk about me “Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less” – Rick Warren KEY POINTS Humility is an important but under-discussed value of leadership. Humble leaders are considered more approachable, forgiving of mistakes, and willing to acknowledge others' work, which can motivate employees to share ideas and work harder. Humility becomes more important as a leader's responsibility increases. Cultivating humility as a leader requires knowing when to ask for help, using inclusive language when talking about work and accomplishments, and giving credit to others. 9 Reasons Humility Is the Key Ingredient to Exceptional Leadership and Influence The people we admire and feel most inspired to follow are those who do not have a need to showboat their accomplishments or convince others of their greatness. Showboats are more of a turn-off than a turn-on when it comes to leadership. We are most inspired by leaders who show exceptional character, who take pride in who they are and in what they have accomplished. Humble leaders use their skills, knowledge and experience to bring people together to increase productivity, improve quality of life, and create a positive culture. Leaders who come from humility use their success for the greater good, rather than for self-glorification. Humanity Balanced Authority Promote Others Acknowledge Others Collaborative Good Sport Powerful Integrity Grateful HOW TO BE A HUMBLE LEADER IN THREE SIMPLE STEPS Humble leaders are made, not born, and once made; they can slip into arrogance if they are not careful. Here are three ways to develop and preserve humility: Be a constant learner. It is almost impossible to be egocentric when you remain fully aware of how much you don't know. When I moved to the for-profit role, I should have accepted that I didn't fully understand the new financial system and sought help. Watch your pronouns. If you often use first-person pronouns like “I”, “me,” “my,” and “mine” when talking with your staff or others about your team's work, you are showing immaturity as a leader. Team members may object if you claim ownership of their work or results. Get in the habit of using third-person pronouns such as “we,” “our,” and “us” instead. Look for ways to give credit. Your team will be willing to go the extra mile if they know you will acknowledge their hard work. Giving credit to others, even when you have done much of the work, motivates employees.     You can see more about the Instinctive Influencers at: Our website Link – instinctiveinfluencers.com Our Facebook Link - https://www.facebook.com/101influence/ Our Instagram Link - https://www.instagram.com/instinctiveinfluencers/ Our Twitter Link - https://twitter.com/101Influence   Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, and Review on our show on the Facebook Page and Apple Podcast.

Episode 67 – Influence is…Transparency Most leaders set out to be transparent, but it can be hard to measure if you truly are a transparent leader. Here’s a checklist we’ve put together to help you assess if you’re on the right track: Are you candid, honest and do you genuinely express your thoughts and opinions? Does the message you are delivering remain the same, regardless of the audience? Do you tell the truth? When you can’t divulge information, do you let people know why you can’t disclose the information at that time? Do you consistently keep commitments? Do you handle your own defeats well, owning them and not blaming others? Do you ask good questions, listen to the answers and remain open to new ideas? Do you value the feedback of others? Do you frequently ask others working with you, “How am I doing?” or, “What could I do to better support you?” After this episode, you might be able to answer those questions rather easily.   You can see more about the Instinctive Influencers at: Our website Link – instinctiveinfluencers.com Our Facebook Link - https://www.facebook.com/101influence/ Our Instagram Link - https://www.instagram.com/instinctiveinfluencers/ Our Twitter Link - https://twitter.com/101Influence   Be sure to Subscribe, Rate, and Review on our show on the Facebook Page and Apple Podcast.
