What are the steps to shift from being a Leader to becoming a Thought Leader? Who are some examples of Thought Leaders through history? What is meant by the “first follower” and why are they so important? Thought Leader vs. Visionary vs. Integrator Quotes: Thought leadership for me is that being that pebble in the pond, really creating a ripple effect and difference around a topic that matters to you. – Denise Brosseau It's about implementing transformational change and creating a community around a topic area that actually brings others on board to share and shape messages. It's really taking that idea from one to many, which is being a thought leader. –Denise Brosseau How do we get people to pick up our ideas and carry them forward? That's the journey of a thought leader and I don't know about you, but I never learned that in college. – Denise Brosseau All people have the ability to be transformational leaders. Real people can take ideas and make a difference. I think that's what's empowering about this journey, that it isn't for those other people with a secret decoder ring that they were born with. None of that is true. We all have the power to use our voice and use our platform and use our ideas for good. – Denise Brosseau Most of the world is feeling powerless. feeling victimized by life, like they have no control, like life is being done to them, and that they can't make a difference in their own life, let alone anyone else's. However, we all matter and we all have that ability. We don't have to be Nelson Mandela or Mother Teresa or Oprah Winfrey. – Dr. Irene Cop The first person with an idea is often thought of as a bit crazy. – Denise Brosseau One of the skills you have to learn as a thought leader is how to speak to someone who has a different perspective. And one of the main things we need to understand is that, if we ridicule, if we undermine, if we denigrate the other side, you never ever have a chance of changing their mind. You really have to come from love, you have to come from understanding, and you have to come from a willingness to see things from another person's perspective. – Denise Brosseau We tend as leaders to keep pounding our side, to keep saying it loud and clear, and think that people will just get on board. That's not the way to get people to change their minds. It's being open, being curious. Even asking questions. – Denise Brosseau Right now, most people are coming from a place of fear right now. They need certainty, and it's very easy to look for “My way is the right way.”, as the certainty to help with the fear versus understanding that everyone has their reasons. It's not about ‘who talks the loudest wins'. – Dr. Irene Cop What is it that matters so much to you that you would get up on a Sunday morning for no pay and go work on it? – Denise Brosseau Learn more about Denise at www.thoughtleadershiplab.com.

I have a special treat for you this week. This will be the first time I’ve had someone back on the show and it’s for a very good reason. My guest is a people expert who inspires organizations and individuals to build real relationships and get real results. Named one of Forbes Top 25 Networking Experts, she is the author of several books including “The Connectors Advantage: 7 Mindsets to Grow Your Influence and Impact,” which was just released a couple of months ago. For this book, she interviewed over two dozen networking experts, including Marshall Goldsmith, Dorie Clark, Ivan Misner, Susan RoAnn, and yours truly. I feel quite fortunate to be mentioned with this esteemed group - many of whom I’ve interviewed. Connectors think and act a certain way that makes things happen faster, easier, and often with a better result. If you feel like your networking is not translating into results or everyone else seems to be getting ahead even though you are just as smart - then you’ll appreciate the great advice from these connectors. Please join me in welcoming back Michelle Tillis Lederman. Would you leave an honest rating and review on Apple Podcast? Or Stitcher? They are extremely helpful and I read each and every one of them. Thanks for the inspiration! In this episode we discuss: her new book about connectors, called “The Connector’s Advantage.” how being a connector is on a spectrum that spans from emerging connectors to global super connectors. abundance and scarcity mindsets and why it is important to come from a place of abundance, but also why it is important to not beat yourself up when you experience a moment of scarcity thinking. her method for adding extra opportunity to connect with people by identifying “underutilized time” and using that to call or spend time with other people. the right way to ask for favors. how to be an inclusive connector.

Neste podcast Angélica Hellish e Marcos Noriega falaram sobre o cineasta Alejandro Jodorowsky. Suas peças de teatro, filmes , quadrinhos ,inspirações, curiosidades. A saga desse homem incrível, exemplo de vida e perseverança para todos nós. Falando sobre o diretor: Alejandro Jodorowsky é um dos artistas precursores do que hoje se conhece como "multimídia": Um homem de inúmeras facetas que desafia e extrapola todos os limites do espiritual na arte. Diretor de cinema e teatro, ator, produtor, compositor, escritor, autor teatral, filósofo, humorista, especialista em tarô e reconhecido mestre dos quadrinhos; enfim, um personagem errante em busca da "iluminação terrestre". Flertou com Buñuel e após encontros com André Breton, escritor e principal teórico do movimento, passou a investir mais na potencialidade onírica da linguagem. No teatro, dirigiu peças de autores como Beckett, lonesco e Strindberg. Em 1970 roda El Topo no México, um faroeste metafisico que causou furor na cena underground, se tornando um verdadeiro cult. A Montanha Sagrada (1973), a obra sobre a busca alquímica da Imortalidade. Condenado ao limbo durante anos, o filme voltou à tona mais tarde pela "descoberta" do cantor pop Marilyn Manson, que utilizou fragmentos da Montanha em seu video The Dop Show (1988) e aderiu, inclusive, aos principios da Psicomagia. Os estudos místicos de Jodorowsky o transformaram numa referência internacional, sobretudo a partir da reconstrução do Tarô de Marselha em 1998, juntamente com o mestre das cartas Philippe Camoin. Sinopses de seus filmes, trailers e links para download: A Gravata (La Cravate) Trailer [Filme inédito no Brasil] França, 1957 Em 1957, Jodorowsky fez suas primeiras experiências no mundo das imagens em movimento filmando em Paris uma versão muda de um conto de Thomas Mann, sobre uma garota que vende cabeças. O filme, considerado perdido, foi recentemente encontrado na Alemanha. Direção Alejandro Jodorowsky Roteiro Jean Cocteau e Alejandro Jodorowsky Produção Denise Brosseau e Saül Gilbert Elenco Raymond Devos, Marthe Mercure, Jean-Marie Proslier Duração 21minutos Fando e Lis Trailer México, 1968 Poesia lírica e imagens de beleza magnética são as constantes de uma história sobre o não-amor da humanidade, que se oculta mascarado atrás dos vincos doentios da hipocrisia. Banido no México, a carreira única de Alejandro Jodorowsky começa com esta bizarra história de inocência corrompida, amor sadomasoquista e paraíso inatingível. Criada a partir de memórias dispersas de uma peça de Fernando Arrabal, a alucinação sublime de Alejandro mostra o impotente Fando e sua namorada paralítica em busca da cidade encantada de Tar, onde o êxtase espiritual reside. A incrível viagem leva o casal ao caos urbano, desertos escaldantes, montanhas traiçoeiras; suas próprias lembranças e tudo que há de mais característico na obra autoral, provocativa e incendiária de Jodorowsky no início de carreira. Direção Alejandro Jodorowsky Roteiro Fernando Arrabal e Alejandro Jodorowsky Produção Juan López Moctezuma e Roberto Viskin Elenco Sergio Klainer, Diana Mariscal, María Teresa Rivas Duração 93 minutos El Topo Trailer México, 1970. Envolto numa roupagem alegórica e repleto de cifrados simbolismos, o filme narra as andanças de um pistoleiro místico (EI Topo), interpretado pelo próprio Alejandro Jodorowsky, através do deserto do distante Oeste, numa epopéia surrealista na qual se superará em duelos para conseguir atribuir-se o êxito de ser a pistola mais rápida do Oeste. Um encontro cósmico profundamente influenciado pelas "obras pânicas", este filme significou o tiro de saída ao circuito alternativo das Sessões Malditas propulsado pelo distribuidor Bem Barenholtz. Direção e roteiro Alejandro Jodorowsky Produção Juan López Moctezuma, Moshe Rosemberg e Roberto Viskin Elenco Alejandro Jodorowsky, Brontis Jodorowsky, Alfonso Arau, Mara Lorenzio Duração 124 minutos
