"Brave work. Tough conversations. Whole hearts."

You might recognize the title of this episode as a quote by Marcus Aurelius, and you would be right in doing so. However, in today's episode, I am actually talking about 10 points and a few quotes from the Introduction to Brene Brown's book, Dare to Lead, that I mentioned a few weeks ago.In the Introduction, she mentions Aurelius's quote, but she does it to introduce 10 behaviors and cultural issues that leaders identified as getting in the way of their organizations becoming the best they could become. Check out the 10 things she talks about and see if you find that the organizations and teams that you are involved in have many of those same issues that are keeping you from achieving all that you are trying to achieve. Really powerful stuff here, and I'm sure I will be doing more from this book at some point in the future. For now, just dive into these ideas, then go get this book because you're going to want to do so much more with it after you hear the ideas in here.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Last week we embarked on a new, different journey. While I'm not making drastic changes to the podcast, I am making some changes that you will notice within the first 15 seconds of these new episodes. You won't hear the introduction and the closing comments that I have been saying for four years of doing the podcast. It's just me starting things off and closing things down. Yes, there is still the music by Krisztian Vass at the beginning and end, but much less of it and no canned comments from me over it.As usual, I'm going to be bringing you great quotes to help you in your leadership realm, but also just in living your life. And today is no exception. Today, I am talking about two paragraphs in a book I have just started reading by an author who is no stranger to this podcast - Dr. Brene Brown. I have talked about and read quotes by and done a series of quotes by Brene Brown, so if you've been a regular listener to the show, you should be familiar with her work.I am just starting her book "Dare to Lead," and already, just in the Introduction to the book, I have gotten a lot out of it. Today's episode focuses on two paragraphs in the Introduction that are huge for us as teachers/coaches. I highly recommend you check out the book. While I'm not planning on doing a series on the book right now, I can't fathom I won't be taking quotes and ideas from the book and talking about them on the podcast. even if I don't do that, I think you will find (like I think I'm going to find) lots of great things in this book for your own leadership/coaching journey.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Dave Dillion and Bryon Robidoux discuss the book Dare to Lead, which was the Joint Risk Management and Leadership & Development Sections book club selection for December. They discuss what it means for managers to be vulnerable. How to give and receive feedback from both a manager's perspective and the direct report perspective. The end the podcast talking about actuaries can be more curious and innovative.

Last year, I found myself on a retreat utterly exhausted. I knew I was craving more space in my life and business. So in the fall, I started doing just that. I began shutting down certain lines of business while continuing to do high-quality work with my clients, and after 17 and a half years and over 1000 episodes, I've made the decision to hit pause on the podcast too.   Join me this week as I share why my soul is craving space, rest, and even boredom, how I'm creating more space in my life and business by hitting the pause button, and the endless possibilities that I believe await us both on the other side. Until we meet again, stay curious, stay open, and stay true to yourself.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/4a7oRtF

As a child, we had parents, teachers and other authoritative figures to lead the way. But as we make our move into adulthood, it can become difficult to step into leadership roles - in any aspect of our lives. In fact, this is a topic I discuss with my clients regularly. So I'd like to emphasize that leadership is about identity and way of being, rather than titles merely bestowed upon us by others. Tune in to discover the importance of self-trust, self-compassion, and self-accountability in being the leader of your life. By embracing agency, taking ownership and leading with integrity and compassion, you can make changes in both your personal and professional endeavors.     Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/3xbm4AU  

As a leadership coach, one of the things I do a lot of coaching on is communication. Communication can be scary and intimidating. Maybe it's something you think you should know how to do, but let me tell you, it's a learnable skill.    In this episode, I share the story of one of my clients from a situation where she was brave and gave positive feedback to someone. Discover what makes you feel safe, and if it involves refraining from clear communication with others, you'll learn how to cultivate the skillset of communication.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/4cfU5jO

Sometimes, when you become so anxious about what's going to happen, you may start to under-function, allowing the unknown to manage you instead of managing it. This week, I'm discussing moving into the unknown, whether it involves performances, events, or waiting for a diagnoses.    Tune in this week to learn how to become a compassionate observer in your life and embrace the vulnerability that comes with uncertainty. I'll share the challenges I faced in navigating the unknown during my senior year of college and how I had stealth expectations about ending my college career.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/3wKndiT  

Are any of your expectations influenced by fear, shame, and magical thinking? These are called stealth expectations and they will go unnoticed until they resurface when challenges occur. It's crucial to be aware of them and to know how to recognize if you have stealth expectations.   In this episode, I discuss the impact stealth expectations can have on you if you don't pay attention to what's going on inside yourself, and how to start creating self-awareness around the things that you expect.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://bit.ly/48AX9UB

In this month's extra book club episode, we are discussing Brené Brown's book: "Dare to Lead." We talk about mixing secular and Biblical sources and the right and wrong way to do that. We talk about her definitions of vulnerability, and when and where it's appropriate to be vulnerable. When she presented this information in as she presented it to various armed forces, she explains how any act of courage embraces vulnerability. This book isn't about leadership as much as it's about working in group settings, working through hard things with those in your community, all of which apply to parenting, committees, teams, or wherever there are people working toward a common goal. There's some great tips in here on how to build trust with others. There's also some great information on healthy boundaries: what they are and what they aren't. It's also a logical look at feelings and what to do with them, and how to view them.

When you hear the word ‘power', what first springs to mind? Do you immediately think of its absence, the moments you felt ‘power-less' – or the moments you showed up as the fullest version of yourself?Is ‘power' a word or sensation that feels like it belongs to you? Or is it a word that usually belongs to someone else?My guest today wants to redefine how we think, approach and own the word ‘power' in our lives. Today's Guest Kemi Nekvapil is one of Australia's leading coaches for female executives and entrepreneurs. She describes her life's work as being to ‘empower women to live and lead without apology'. Kemi is a certified facilitator for Brenè Brown's ‘Dare To Lead' program, and also a facilitator for The Hunger Project Australia which works with communities to enable them to realize a future free from hunger and poverty. She is also a highly sought after international speaker and author who has just published her latest book: ‘Power; A woman's guide to living and leading without apology'. The book looks at how to navigate the inevitable challenges we face from a place of unapologetic power – in order to show up at the highest possible level. Instagram: @keminekvapilLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kemi-nekvapil-58000027/You'll LearnThe true meaning of the word power, and how it's our definitions of the word – rather than our own innate strength – that keeps us small.What stops us from stepping into our power. Including all the ways we give our power away, in order to feel a sense of safety and belonging. The right questions to ask to reclaim your sense of power. In particular, when faced with people and situations that would usually make us shrink.Why real power is often found in the quiet moments, the small decisions, the micro-choices – rather than the big grand gestures.Finally, how to access your intuition and realize that the greatest power comes from outwardly trusting your inner voice. For me, the word ‘power' has shifted in meaning, particularly over the last few years. Previously it had the energy of pushing. Building, creating, showing up, using your voice – changing what needs to be changed. Forcing where necessary. Yet now, largely thanks to this podcast. That's fundamentally shifted.Now when I think about the word ‘power', when I embody it, when I witness it - the feeling is one of ‘pulling'. Showing up and holding yourself with such clarity, such intention, such gravity. That the right people and situations are quite literally pulled towards you. That to me is real power.References and links mentionedhttps://www.keminekvapil.com/If you liked this episode, you might also enjoyDeb GruenfeldThanks for tuning into this week's episode of the Inside Influence Podcast!

Brené Brown, renowned for her research on vulnerability, courage, and empathy, delves into the heart of leadership in her book "Dare to Lead." In this captivating and insightful read, Brown explores the intersection of vulnerability and leadership, offering a refreshing perspective on what it means to be a daring and effective leader. Brene Brown is someone who I've been following for years. Her work on the emotions that drive behaviour has been groundbreaking. I would describe her work as being in the shadows, in involving topics that are rarely discussed in the context of leadership. At the core of this is shame. Leaders are just people and people often grapple with shame at their imperfections.   --------------- Host: Victor Menasce email: podcast@victorjm.com

I got this question recently from someone getting ready to expand their business to beyond private practice. They want to start offering a non-therapy program within their own business. “Should I create my own program from scratch, or should I just deliver an established method from a well-known person?” For example, although it's not the example this person gave: Brene Brown's Dare To Lead method. Here's my answer without knowing any of the particulars. First of all…nothing is new under the sun. Whatever program you offer will be influenced by your learning lineages and your mentors… So the REAL question is: will you create something new by bringing together many influences, giving them all credit, and blending them in a unique way? OR Will you primarily use one established method from a mentor and jump through the hoops of getting that license or certification or purchasing that curriculum, so that you can use it in its entirety and put their name on it? To figure this out, ask yourself: What is the truest, most high quality and aligned offering you can make right now? Which choice will be of the highest service to your participants? A good reason to use someone else's method is that you feel clear that it is the most aligned choice. A misguided reason to use someone else's method is that you think it will be easier to create and sell it. Since you're creating this program within your business, you will likely be working just as hard with either choice. Whether you sell someone else's method or create your own, you will… Identify who it's for (your niche) Create or adapt the program Do messaging and marketing work to bring in participants In the business I'm running now, I've created my own method while giving a ton of credit to the people I've learn from. You can't get through my program without hearing about Tara McMullin, the business strategist who has had the biggest influence on me. And you hear about many other folks whose influences are woven into my programs. At this point I'm so hooked on creating my own processes and weaving together many influences, I can't imagine I'll ever teach someone else's entire method ever again. But once I did! In this week's episode, I share a story about running a couples workshop using someone else's method with permission. Listen to learn from my experience so you can skip my mistakes.

        Stories, by definition, evoke emotions. Strong stories encourage your audience to see themselves in your story.  But what does your audience experience when you share a story about your own struggles?  Maybe you want them to get the message, “I've been there.” Maybe you offer a service to clients who seek help for difficult, sensitive problems. Maybe you've struggled in your own business and you want to demonstrate, “I'm human.”   How will your story land with your audience? Will you inspire them or inadvertently create an uncomfortable response? To answer this question, we can turn to Nicole Lewis-Keeber, The Business Therapist.  Nicole is passionate about the impact of small “t” trauma on businesses and she's trained and certified with Brené Brown's Dare To Lead™ methodology. She's one of the few professionals who combine therapeutic processes with business coaching, helping entrepreneurs gain emotional and well as financial sustainability. In this podcast episode, Nicole explains how a story can inadvertently trigger strong negative emotions. She provides a framework and guidelines for sharing a difficult story when it's appropriate to your offer and your audience.  Tune in to discover… …key points to consider as you incorporate storytelling in your business   …essential questions to ask when sharing a difficult story seems appropriate - even essential - to your marketing …what can trigger an audience's negative emotions as they listen to your story …why the wrong story can come across as manipulative (and change your relationship with your audience forever) …when and how you might consider “trigger warnings” before sharing a hard story …why you can replace a struggle story with a joyful story It's a subject we rarely discuss but it's important in today's dynamic marketing environment. Nicole is one of the few professionals who combine an understanding of psychological trauma with the realities of entrepreneurship.  Listen to Episode 112 here and you'll come away with the understanding to choose the right story for your business and manage your shares when the topic becomes sensitive.   RESOURCES: Business Therapist Nicole Lewis-Keeber Consultations for storytelling - the Strategic Intensive FREE guide to understanding your prospective client's backstory - Click here

Mental health is a struggle for a lot of people, and entrepreneurs are no exception. This week I explore the less-talked-about side of entrepreneurship, with Shulamit Ber Levtov, the Entrepreneurs' Therapist, and the unique mental health challenges faced by entrepreneurs.We talk about everything from the realities of isolation and how relentless hustle culture impacts us, to the tie between self-worth and business success. From why entrepreneurs hesitate to seek mental health support to the ripple effect of current events on our mental well-being.Shula shares insights into the ways entrepreneurs, especially those unable to afford therapy, can manage their mental health, including the stigma and fear that sometimes keep us from seeking help at all.She also shares her personal journey, emphasizing the need for mental health support specifically designed for business owners, because the emotional labor of running a business often requires external assistance.Guest Bio:Shulamit is the Entrepreneurs' Therapist and co-founder of the Business Therapy Centre.

In June's book review of New York Times's best-seller, Dare to Lead by Berné Brown, John & Rich discuss the importance of vulnerability and empathy in leadership as they explore how the business climate and culture have evolved, and how leaders need to adapt to these changes. They share personal experiences of struggling with vulnerability and perfectionism in their own entrepreneurial careers and discuss how embracing vulnerability can lead to a stronger and more respectful culture. If you're an entrepreneur or leader looking to improve your leadership skills, this episode is a must-listen.

In today's highly competitive work environment, developing leadership skills such as vulnerability and empathy can mean the difference between success and failure. In this podcast episode, Marius and I discuss Brené Brown's "Dare to Lead," a book that dives into the importance of vulnerability-based leadership. This episode will explore some of the key takeaways from the book and how they can be applied in the work environment. We also discuss the following points:
