What do astronauts, Olympic champions and Nobel laureates do differently that allows them to achieve at such a high level? Join David Nour for the next Curve Benders Live as he welcomes Dr. Ruth Gotian, author of the new book, The Success Factor, which outlines the methodological approach that individuals aspiring to improve their performance can adopt to achieve success. High achievers share the same four attributes (intrinsic motivation, perseverance, strong foundation, constantly learning through informal means). The key to their success is that they do all four of these things in tandem. Using these four shared attributes as a guide, The Success Factor helps you reach peak performance by applying the lessons of high achievers in your own life: identify your passion using a Passion Audit; learn how and where to find a mentor and how to build a mentoring team; develop your own community of practice; pursue your interests through informal learning; and manage your time and energy. The Success Factor comes with online resources that feature a downloadable Passion Audit worksheet, Mentoring Team worksheet, and Goal Audit worksheet. The book offers scripts for approaching potential mentors and a list of uncommon places to find a mentor, such as webinars, airports, and social media. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/david-nour/message

We need to double down on fewer, but more authentic, more battle tested relationships, says David Nour, podcast host, executive coach, and author of more than 10 books, including his most recent: Curve Benders. The most influential and successful leaders are the most self-aware, he says. They are people who stop letting things happen to them and instead plan ahead and take ownership of their emotions, actions and how they're coming across to those around them.

On this episode we talk to David Nour, one of the world's leading experts on strategic business relationships. David introduces us to the concept of "Curve Benders" which are business relationships that dramatically influence our growth and development from a linear path to an accelerated "J" curve.David discusses a 7 step process on how to meet your own "curve benders" as well as how to cultivate those relationships. We discuss the future of work and how adaptability and strategic business relationships are key to maintaining relevancy. David also helps us identify ways to quantify our current relationships in order measure how beneficial they are in taking our next best step as well as how to politely decline invitations to collaborate or meet.

Today on the podcast, we have David Nour, a trusted adviser to global clients, corporate leaders, and rising entrepreneurs and the author of the recent book, Curve Benders. David is an expert in Relationship Economics: how to build enduring relationships that last a lifetime. Inside this episode, David shares how deepening relationships is the way to succeed in today's distributed workplace. David proposes three relationship-centered goals for leadership development in a hybrid work environment that allow leaders to both deepen their relationships and stretch the true potential of their teams no matter where they are. Relationships: Your Company's Biggest Undervalued AssetCompanies rarely tap into their biggest undervalued asset: relationships. Strategic relationship planning is the most important part of a business strategy, yet is often overlooked.The question for leaders today is, how do you build that relationship-centric team, especially now where many teams are not getting together physically? Goal #1 Relationships Before BusinessEarly in David's career, he thought about how he could combine the art and science of relationships to teach people how to identify, build, nurture, and sustain valued relationships beyond the inauthentic “networking” lessons. David wants to teach the following practices. Unlike typical - and often ineffective networking approaches--David talks about the value of relationship deposits, where you cannot ask for a favor until you've earned the right to do so.With his experience living in several cultures, David was able to see the vastly different ideologies within relationship economics in different countries compared to America. In other countries like Iran, Asia, and Latin America, relationships are built first before two people conduct business. Unfortunately, we as Americans are so focused on the business first, that we typically don't focus on relationships until after there is a good business fit. Once the business part works, we then begin forming relationships. But when it comes to having a successful business, leaders must remember that people will prioritize who they will invest in based on their relationship with you. Their relationship with you is based on four considerations: know, like, trust and respect. Relationships must be first, you must get other people to know, like, trust and respect you before you engage in business. Trying to bypass these four factors rarely works. To be an effective leader for your hybrid teams and for your customer, it is so important to build relationships first before doing business.Goal #2 Build Relationship Centric TeamsRelationship centric teams have three characteristics:1. A defined set of personal characteristicsRelationship-centric teams need a clearly defined set of characteristics that they know are required for that team to succeed. The team then needs to be clear on further developing these characteristics. Many teams look for characteristics such as grit, personal accountability, responsibility, and proactiveness. 2. Trust. Trust is easy to talk about, but incredibly difficult to build, nurture, and sustain. Trust takes years to develop, and an instant to destroy it. When it is destroyed, it's often because one is Pennywise and pound foolish. Relationship-centric teams are skilled in developing trust and having conversations around when trust is broken.Click here for the entire summary

Episode Summary The unprecedented speed of this global pandemic is creating organizational shock and uncertainty. Your corporate strategy became obsolete when the global economy shut down in March. There is no playbook for our current market dynamics and the CO19 is an impetus to reimagine, reinvent, and reinvigorate a portfolio approach to business model innovation. Remote team leaders need mission-critical strategy alignment with the ability to turn daily huddles of their top priorities into visual strategies, so they can: • Stabilize current and generate new revenues, • Keep and maximize their talent capabilities, • Collaborate with their teams digitally to co-create, and • Enhance their brand value while they mitigate risk amid the CO19 storm. Join us and senior leadership/board advisor and best-selling author of Relationship Economics, Co-Create, and the forthcoming Curve Benders, David Nour, as he shares insights from global executive conversations in the past six weeks, his research into Crisis Resilience, and innovation opportunities from Co-Creation. Guest 1: David Nour What are you seeing, hearing from global leaders in your coaching efforts? What is Agile Alignment and why is it so crucial right now in coaching senior executives? What is your research on Crisis Resilience uncovering in leadership shortcomings? You wrote Co-Create a couple of years ago; why is the concept so relevant now in executive coaching and in the post-COVID19 world?
