Risk is not something we spend much time talking about in public circles. Sure, your typical financial advisor may talk about your risk tolerance, but when it comes to life risk, business risk, or career risk, we do not spend very much time discussing it. For many of us we grew up in families where they did not take much risk. They feared that risk would lead to loss. However, risk can also be rewarded. Especially if we understand it and know how to manage it. The truth is every single day you are alive you are at risk. The question is are you in control of your risk or are you letting circumstances dictate your risk. On this episode of A New Direction Retired Marine Angie Morgan rejoins us to talk about her new book entitled "Bet on You". Angie is going to take us through how if you take risk in the right way, bet on your gifts, talents, and abilities that your risk is going to lead to reward...and that reward is the life that you dreamed of, and achieving the success you imagined. Bet on You: How to Win with Risk Book - Angie Morgan - A New Direction with Jay Izso Bet on You: How to Win with Risk is a mental, emotional, and spiritual journey into our psyche when it comes to risk.  Each chapter is filled with thought provoking ideas and practical tools to help you embrace risk and achieve greater success than you are right now.  Angie Morgan and Courtney Lynch have written a must read in Bet on You.  And when you consider all the things you could bet on, you are your best investment with the greatest return.  Learn to turn your risks into rewards...Bet on You!

• Your best leaders might not be called manager • “We like to call those people the ‘sparks'” (Total Recorded Time is 14:30) Executive coach Courtney Lynch, who has worked for years with high-performing leaders to help them achieve next-level results, says applying some of the leadership training used by the Marine Corps can bring out untapped talent in any organization. And she doesn't mean the stereotypical Marine drill sergeant approach. “There are sometimes certain people on the teams that we're involved with that just seem to have a lot of influence, and a lot of credibility,” she says. “We like to call those people the ‘sparks.'” Sparks are not born, but made, she says, noting that it begins with re-thinking how to respond to pressing challenges -- and deal with fear.

Business isn't just about making a buck. It's about making a difference.Previous leadership models were about command and control, using rewards and consequences to push employees into getting the job done. But that style doesn't work anymore. To attract and retain talent, companies are learning that they must bring a sense of purpose and meaning to the work they do and create an ecosystem where people feel connected and valued.John Dame leveraged his 32-year career in radio broadcasting to become an executive coach and business strategist. He has spent the last 15 years training CEOs and their executive teams in the strategic planning and leadership development space, and his current areas of focus include the role of purpose in the business environment and the transition to a millennial workforce. To address these issues, John created the Evolution Leadership Conference Series to help leaders move away from the rudimentary model of telling people what to do to Leadership 3.0—influencing people to achieve.In part two of my interview, John discusses the BS parts of his own early leadership style and how he continues to overcome ‘Bad John' through self-awareness. He gets into the details of the Evolution Conference Series, offering his take on the characteristics of a next-generation leader and his insight around working with millennials. Listen in for John's suggestions around the best available leadership resources, and learn how to get involved with Vistage International, the world's largest CEO membership organization, so that you too can show up as a purposeful leader.Key Takeaways[05:31] The qualities of ‘Bad John' Highly dominant, influencer personality Arrogance, aggressiveness ‘I'm the boss and you're not'[08:56] How John has learned to recognize and remedy ‘Bad John' Recognize when about to lose patience Pause and gain control of emotions[10:53] John's Evolution Conference Focus on making difference, purposeful leadership Developing ecosystem to nurture and develop team[14:46] John's take on Leadership 3.0 Make team feel connected and valued Provide clarity, safety Offer regular feedback Bring purpose, meaning to work[17:23] John's insight around working with millennials Majority of workforce by 2025 May challenge your thinking Not attracted by wages alone[20:28] The big idea that drives John Better leaders needed to change world People leave jobs because of bad managers Train leaders to influence people (vs. tell them what to do)[23:25] Resources around leading with purpose John's weekly digest Fast Track Strategic Planning SparkConnect with John DameJohn's WebsiteEvolution ConferenceFast Track Strategic Planning: How to Build a Corporate Strategic Plan in Just 48 Hours by John DameResources MentionedSpark: How to Lead Yourself and Others to Greater Success by Angie Morgan, Courtney Lynch and Sean LynchVistageThe No BS Marketing Show is brought to you by Larrimors Men's and Women's Designer Clothing.
