Why are some people magnetic, confident, comfortable in their skin, and in charge of their destinies? What's their secret? In a word: Swagger For this week's Inspirational Leadership Podcast I spoke with Leslie Ehm, who's a former TV host and advertising Creative Director turned training guru. She's spent decades travelling the globe with her award-winning company Combustion, working with executives and teams from top organizations like Google, Disney, Pepsico, Lenovo TD Bank, FBC, Uber, and so many more. She's turned technologists into creative forces, bankers into storytellers, and has brought a serious dose of badass-ness to boardrooms everywhere. Fueled by her unrelenting passion for developing human potential, Leslie is now a Swagger Coach, speaker, and the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon #1 bestselling Author of Swagger – Unleash Everything You Are and Become Everything You Want. She's also a passionate amateur boxer and fighter for good.

Leslie Ehm told me she came into the world kicking, screaming, and was “a lot of human”. She was a challenge from day one, didn't like to follow the rules, and was precocious, doing everything early and fast. Fortunately, Leslie had an amazing mother who encouraged her to embrace her energy, passion, creativity, and wild child nature. And Mom never talked to her about the benefits of putting herself in a box. Both of Leslie's parents were entrepreneurs. Her father was a Holocaust survivor. She was taught to do what she felt, to recognize her power, her purpose, to go after it, and not let anything stop her. At 19, Leslie packed it all up and moved to the UK from her home in Montreal. She didn't know a soul there, had nothing in place, and went to pursue her dreams of being a singer because she was in love with all things British and British music. Leslie ended up living there happily for 17 years. Over that time she continually leaned into all kinds of opportunities as one thing led her to the next. Her music partner also worked in the film industry. He got her involved in the film industry and Leslie worked as a script analyst, then eventually as a script editor and a script doctor for companies like Miramax. She ended up working as a TV host for many years, through as she puts it, a happy accident. Leslie was developing TV ideas and had made connections in the industry. Whenever she would go and pitch, Leslie would bring her full self to the party, as she explained,” I'm a very go big or go home kind of girl.” On one of these occasions, she was pitching a TV idea to a big production company in the UK and the guy who owns the company said you know, you should be on camera. They hired Leslie and gave her a talk show.  Now, it wasn't as easy as it sounds, but it's all true. Leslie is a big proponent of recognizing your transferable skills and worrying less about your resume. She suggests that you look at what you are good at and go from there. For her, it became writing and storytelling which eventually translated into copywriting work and leadership as a creative director.  Today Leslie is a Swagger Coach and training guru who has discovered the secret to tapping into your authentic self and turning it into a superpower. She's also the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author of Swagger – Unleash Everything You Are and Become Everything You Want. In this week's Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn more about Leslie's journey: Leslie has spent the last 14 years traveling the globe, training senior execs and teams from Fortune 100 companies like Google, Pepsico, Uber, Disney, TD Bank, Lenovo, and more.  She has turned technologists into creative forces, bankers into storytellers, and has brought a serious dose of spirit to boardrooms everywhere.  Learn more and connect with Leslie here:  https://www.facebook.com/leslieehmspeaks https://www.linkedin.com/in/leslieehm/ https://twitter.com/leslieehm www.leslieehm.com

Today's guest is Leslie Ehm, Swagger Coach, Amazon #1 best-selling author of Swagger: Unleash Everything You Are and Become Everything You Want, speaker, and Chief Fire Starter at Combustion Training: a creativity-fueled training company that transforms people so that they can transform organizations. In today's conversation, Leslie tells us her story; from working as a TV host, script editor, and advertising creative director, she found her true voice and started her own training company, building creative companies through a foundation of support for creative and inspirational people. We discuss the slow growth of Combustion Training due to the need for trainers to be subject-matter experts in order to avoid the sub-par training experiences that she has seen in the past. From this realization came the origin and process of Leslie's book, Swagger. Leslie shares the hard choices she made to keep her authentic voice, the methods she used to keep the words of others out of her mind, and how she connected her unique story to thought leadership. Plus, she shares the favors she called in to generate word-of-mouth for the book, and why paying back those favors is an important part of her publishing process. Three Key Takeaways: When bringing others onboard to spread your thought leadership, be picky. Only work with those who are the right fit for you. It is crucial to write your thought leadership book in your authentic, individual voice. If you ask others to promote your thought leadership, pay it back (and pay it forward).

It's the intention to help others grow.” how she learned to be a leader by realizing that she did not have leadership skills and using her deficits as her inspiration. her experience growing up and remembering it as a difficult time. her journey to find a platform to communicate with others. how growing up with entrepreneurial parents gave her the freedom and security to build her own business. how living in the UK for many years and returning home to Canada made her feel about her network. her belief that people are already everything they need to be to be successful. the untruths associated with building a business. her experience taking a chance with a new business partner and she began losing her swagger. the evolution of her Combustion virtual training company. her dream for the Swagger Revolution.

You are not your history; you are the story that you tell yourself. In this Expert Insight Interview, we welcome Leslie Ehm, swagger coach and training guru who has travelled the globe working with executives and teams from top organizations through her award-winning company, Combustion.

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, Jeff  is interviewing Michael Bernoff, the author of the book called, Average Sucks. He is a neuro-linguistic and language patterns specialist, among many other things. Today's episode is special because Jeff and Michael are going to reveal the secret about how to get past average!   Episode Highlights:  Michael understands real estate really well because he is an investor. He shares about his background and motivation to succeed. His parents always told him to work hard and be a good person. Michael studied the behavior of humans; His background in psychotherapy analysis and neurolinguistic programming helped him to understand what makes people do the things they do. There are two reasons we procrastinate: 1) We think we are perfectionists and we are actually just procrastinating playing the part of a perfectionist and 2) A language pattern you use wires your brain to respond in a particular way. Your biggest challenge is your average, it dominates every single thing in your life. What happens when we develop an average for ourselves?  What if you stop looking at what others do best and start looking at yourself? Talking about real estate, Jeff inquires, “I would like to know what is one of the biggest objections or the things that you feel like an average real-estate agent needs to overcome to get to another level?” Michael suggests, “In order to get where you want to go, one of the first things you should do is look in the mirror and ask yourself a very simple question - Are you where you want to be?” Michael recommends, “Do not beat yourself and accept you are not where you want to be. If you want to change, you have to like yourself.” In order to step out of the average mindset, people should figure out, “What was their original reason for making money?” Michael explains how he has worked through this question. Jeff  asks, “How do you keep somebody from talking themselves out of what they're capable of doing?” Michael shares tips on how to redefine what a person's real average is. What is the one thing you do more than anything in the world all day long?  Jeff and Michael discuss hacking your brain by evaluating what you do automatically and how to change the patterns. Michael has worked with about 50,000 real estate mortgage people, and over the years, the results people have received are amazing. Michael guarantees that participants of the Average Sucks Challenge will get more done in five days than they have in five months. He says, “You will love who you become by the time it ends.” Jeff wonders what the end game is for Michael; He asks, “Why are you giving the Average Sucks Challenge for free? Michael says, “The biggest thing we are fighting is an idea that we had that we thought was a good idea years ago.” He explains how your brain adapts to that idea. What was your original reason for doing the thing that you're currently doing? It all starts there.    3 Key Points: Michael always wondered, “Why are people dominated by a magnetic force to be who they were yesterday, last month, last year?” So, he dedicated his life to help people break out of that mentality. Michael teaches about psychological triggers and how to move on from your past to what you want. When was the last time you learned how to market yourself? Communication is the most underdeveloped tool that we have and it has the potential to help us reach where we want to go.  Jeff inquires about the challenge that Michael has for everyone- the Average Sucks Challenge.

Fake it 'till you make it. You've heard that one a few, three...thousand times, eh? Well, what if that was the worst advice you could ever hear? Instead, Leslie Ehm wants you to focus on bringing your "swagger". And no, swagger isn't what you think it is (it actually looks and smells a lot like authenticity). Listen in to this high0energy and hilarious interview with the queen of swagger, and how you can practice getting your swagger on, so you can be everything you are and get everything you want. This week Erin sits down with former TV host and advertising Creative Director turned training guru, Leslie Ehm. She's a sagger coach, training guru, speaker, and now the best-selling author of "swagger: Unleash Everything You Are and Become Everything You Want." Erin kicks off by asking Leslie about herself pre-Swagger, especially when she worked on TV. Leslie grew up in Montreal but moved to London where she lived for 17 years. She discusses her start as a singer in a band and then landing a TV hosting gig. But, she quickly realized they wanted her to be a female Jerry Springer and she wanted to be a white Oprah. Erin asks if there was a certain moment when Leslie realized what she wanted to do, when she realized the power of her own "swagger". Leslie talks about working with someone who she clashed heads with a few times, because she has been putting on a persona at work. Then Leslie worked with her to just be herself, and she has since become the youngest VP of the company. Erin asks Leslie what the biggest clockers are that she has seen while coaching clients. Leslie says, although it's different for everyone, fear and insecurity are the most common (or the most easily identifiable). Erin follows this by asking Leslie, "How does radical change happen?" Leslie discusses the entrenched cultures in corporate workspaces, how people as individuals are now more capable (and ready to try) to change up those cultures to something more authentic. Erin asks Leslie her thoughts on "fake it till you make it"...she does not like it at all. Leslie says that true confidence only comes as a result of competence, a strong skillset can carry you through, whereas setting yourself up to "fake it till you make it", will only limit your own abilities.

It is probably fair to say that at one point in time or another, we have all contemplated some of the following questions: Who am I? What is my purpose? What do I want to be when I grow up?

In this episode of the Duct Tape Marketing Podcast, I interview Leslie Ehm. Leslie Ehm has spent decades traveling the globe with her award-winning company Combustion, working with executives and teams from top organizations like Google, Disney, Pepsico, TD Bank, Uber, and more.

Waiting for a thousand dollars to drop into your lap while lying in bed? Without a doubt, everyone would want that fantasy to turn into reality, but obviously, it's not going to happen if you don't work it out.  HOW? — that's the question. You don't come into this world knowing what there is to know about achieving your goals. Many people don't have any idea what they want in life.  So, how can you "manifest" or bring good fortune and opportunities into your life? The nearest parking spot, the closing contract, the ideal spouse, etc. Successful individuals have developed a method for noticing and using conditions and resources to accomplish their goals faster, and that is to be a SWAGGER — not the typical one, though. Save the date, mark it on your calendars and never miss this life-changing episode of Stop Doing Nothing. We’ll touch base on How To Become Everything You Want, and we have no other than SWAGGER coach, author, and speaker, Leslie Ehm. Key takeaways in this episode:  ✔️ Swagger is manifesting who you are and holding on to it in the face of all the psychological crap, regardless of the situation or environment. As you build your swagger, people recognize that you are unshakable, unmovable in your sense of self. ✔️ Recognize that there's no one prescribed way of manifesting a swagger. There's no one way of showing up like anybody's swagger—what matters is it's real. ✔️ The key is not about glossy perfection in any way, shape, or form. It's being a perfectly imperfect, flawed human badass. ✔️ Understand that self-belief is way different than confidence. It's the difference between success and failure. The self-belief that doesn't rely on confidence is like jumping off the cliff, you take these risks and learn all this new stuff, but you're not going to die. ✔️ Live by the paradigm that we don't pick up other people's baggage at the airport, why do we pick it up in life? Stop looking for all of your validation to come from other people. ✔️ Remember that you only have one face. You don't show up as a different person in different situations or environments. Once you accept that that's self-acceptance, then you're not so busy trying to cover it up.
