Go to www.LearningLeader.com for full show notes for episode #617 with Adam Galinsky Notes: 10 Words - “We are not going down. We are going to Philly.” The composure of pilot Tammy Jo Shults after the side of her airplane exploded. Leadership is needed most when things go bad. How do you respond when adversity strikes? Those are the moments when we must be prepared to share the vision and help our team stay the course. EMTs asked, "How did you get through security? You have nerves of steel. You don't even have an elevated heart rate." The 1992 cockpit study of pilots. Did more errors happen at the beginning or the end of a 19-hour flight? You'd assume the end because of exhaustion. However, more errors happen at the beginning of the flight because the crews don't know each other yet. How does this translate to your team? It's imperative to genuinely care and get to know the people on your team. Host barbeque parties, ask questions, and genuinely LEARN about the people you're leading. Those aren't soft skills, those are essential skills. What did Adam learn from his parents? The idea of Kaizen, is a Japanese business philosophy that promotes continuous improvement through small, incremental changes. Kaizen means "good change," "change for the better," or "improvement." Transactional leaders are infuriating. Transformational leaders are inspiring. Great leader exercise: "Tell me about a leader that inspired you..." What qualities do they possess? "Courage, Optimism, Generous." Inspire - the universal path for leading yourself and others Build habits - floss teeth before brushing. Write thank you notes. Moments of Greatness -- Elks basketball Team thank you notes - Rob Kimbel Columbia football coach -- "Who can I yell at?" Need to know who can handle it. Ron Ullery -- Share the vision early. 1:1 conversation, bring your leaders in. Adam did not get tenure when most thought he deserved it. They messed up by not sharing the vision until after, but then they made it better by sharing and showing him love. He then turned down Harvard to stay at Northwestern because of it. Vision - Big picture. Put context for behavior. Why is consistency important? The Great Gatsby and his dad. Greenlights. When you're thinking about trying to persuade others, you persuade yourself. Parenting -- When you flip out, they do too. We set the tone.

There will come a time for all of us (unless we REALLY make some improvements with bio-hacking) where we are faced with our own mortality. Who is at your hypothetical bedside? Are you happy with how you’ve lived? Do you have any regrets? In this Summer School edition of the Academy of Imperfection, we are joined by Bronnie Ware.

Bronnie collated, and published, the Top 5 Regrets of the Dying (listed below for your convenience), and this episode is devoted to talking through what each of these might mean for Hugh, Ryan and Josh. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me I wish I hadn’t worked so hard I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends I wish that I had let myself be happier Perfectly timed for the New Year, we hope you get as much out of this episode as we did.

www.YourPersuasionCoach.com  From the moment we're born, society starts handing us a script. Our parents have dreams for us. Our teachers have expectations. Our friends, partners, and even social media seem to whisper—or shout—what we should be doing, how we should look, and who we should become. But here's the thing: how often do we stop and ask ourselves, “Is this what I want? Is this truly me?” The scary truth is, many of us are living someone else's version of our lives. We're chasing dreams that aren't ours. We're following rules we never questioned. And we're molding ourselves into shapes that fit other people's expectations—while slowly losing sight of who we really are. The Wake-Up Call Imagine this: You're on your deathbed, looking back on your life. What would haunt you more—failing at something you loved or succeeding at something you hated? It's a hard pill to swallow, but too many people reach the end of their journey only to realize they've been living someone else's dream. They stayed in a career because it looked good on paper. They followed a path because it was “safe.” They ignored their passions because they didn't fit the mold. Here's the truth: If you don't decide what your life should look like, someone else will decide for you. And spoiler alert—it won't feel fulfilling. Reflection Exercise So, how do we break free from living someone else's version of our lives? Here's an exercise for you. Take a moment and ask yourself these three questions: What do I truly love to do? Forget what's “practical” or “logical.” What lights your soul on fire? What would I pursue if nobody was watching? If there were no likes, no judgments, no external opinions—what would you do? Whose opinions am I prioritizing over my own? Be honest. Is it your parents? Your friends? Society at large? Write down your answers. This isn't about judging yourself; it's about waking up to the influences shaping your life. The Courage to Choose Yourself Living your life takes courage. It's scary to step away from the expectations of others. It's uncomfortable to forge your own path. But here's the reward: When you start living authentically, your life begins to align with who you truly are. You wake up with purpose. You make decisions that feel right in your gut. And you start to attract opportunities, people, and experiences that resonate with the real you. Remember, the people who truly love and support you will celebrate your authenticity—even if it takes them time to understand it. Closing Thought So, I'll leave you with this: Life is precious. Don't waste it living someone else's dream. You have one shot at this, and the world needs the unique, unfiltered version of you. As you move through your day, I challenge you to notice the moments where you're choosing someone else's version of your life over your own. Pause. Reflect. And ask yourself, “What would it look like to choose me instead?” Because the moment you start living your life—on your terms—is the moment you truly begin to live.

Take a moment to consider just how rare you are. 

Over the last few years, at least since 2020, in the marketing and communications professions, remote work has become more of the norm than the exception. Connections between and among co-workers remain predominantly digital or virtual, and so many of us fitted out our home offices with comfy ergonomic chairs, standing desks, recording gear, balance boards, and all kinds of tchotchkes. Then, when the economy started to turn, and our jobs started to disappear, we figured, well, we've got the home setup, we've got the years of remote work experience, so starting our own "thing" wouldn't be so scary. But as it turns out, being alone can get pretty lonely. We benefit tremendously from interacting with peers and feeling like someone's got our back. We want people we can reach out to for information, mentorship, and support. It sounds like we want - and maybe need - community. Is community the future of work? In this episode of The Trending Communicator, host Dan Nestle sits down with strategic communications and PR consultant-turned-entrepreneur Ashley Dennison, the founder and CEO of CommsConsultants.com, to discuss the changing landscape of communications consulting and the power of community in the age of AI. Join Dan and Ashley as they navigate the world of independent communications consulting, examining the challenges and opportunities that come with this career path. From the loneliness of solo entrepreneurship to the strength found in professional communities, this episode offers a candid look at the realities of modern consulting work. Ashley shares her journey in creating CommsConsultants.com, a global directory of pre-vetted communications and marketing consultants. The conversation touches on the importance of specialization, admitting what you don't know, and the critical role of building relationships in the consulting world. The episode dives into the impact of AI on the communications industry, discussing the scramble to understand and adopt new technologies. Ashley and Dan examine the readiness of consultants to meet future challenges and the need for continuous learning in a rapidly changing field.
