That vision for tomorrow demands something from you today.” “We live in a world of convenience, but when it comes to getting better, convenience is out the window.” “Getting better is not going to be convenient. It's just a requirement that you show up and do the work every day.” “When everyone's looking for the shortcut, the work is the shortcut.” “Share your stories. You never know the impact that message might have, whether it drives revenue or not.” “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% your attitude and how you respond to it.”  “Show up each day with gratitude and say, how can I steward this the best way possible?” “Your circumstances plus your perspective determine your experience. If you want to have a better experience, have a better perspective on whatever is happening around you. You get to choose your perspective on that thing, and it will be good or bad, not because of what it is, but because of the way that you view it.” BOOKS MENTIONED: 10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less by Dan Sullivan (https://a.co/d/eD5Kh9R) The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact by Chip Heath and Dan Heath (https://a.co/d/h03kZtO) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.deshazo.me  https://www.bebetterleaders.com https://www.intothestormbook.com https://www.keepchoppingwood.com https://www.instagram.com/kevindeshazo https://x.com/kevindeshazo  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindeshazo/  https://www.facebook.com/kevindeshazospeaks/ https://www.youtube.com/user/kevindeshazo "Into the Storm: How to Turn Adversity Into Your Advantage" (https://a.co/d/fNfXnKX) "Keep Chopping Wood: An Ordinary Approach to Achieving Extraordinary Success" (https://a.co/d/fZljRly)  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

They may not have the talent level, but they have the discipline. They have the commitment, but they also have the character and the willingness to lead, and people will follow them.”  “It doesn't matter what your industry is, what your age is; you just need to figure out where your people are on social media and then determine how you can add value.” “Figure out where your audience is and what they want on those platforms. Every platform has its own psychology, and people want different things from each.” “In today's world, people care a little bit about your brand. They care more about you…That doesn't mean you have to show your whole life, but when you can show your interest, passion, expertise, and just be generous with your thoughts and expertise, which is going to be helpful to a lot of people.” “People care a little bit about your brand. They care more about you. We want to buy from people. We want to connect with people.” “You can have every leadership skill in the world. You can read every great leadership book, go to every great leadership conference, and listen to every great leadership podcast, and they're all great. You can build up all of these skills, but when the pressure hits, if you can't think clearly, none of those skills are actually going to help you.” “The better you get at being a clear and more concise and a better communicator, the more you're going to win.” “Our thoughts shape our actions; our actions shape our outcomes. Most people experience negative outcomes in their lives because they're taking negative actions. They're not choosing those negative actions; they are simply a natural outflow of negative thoughts.” “The only way to get better at dealing with adversity is to deal with adversity. Most people are terrible at dealing with adversity because they refuse to deal with it. They keep running away from it and wondering why they can never handle difficult things.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://www.deshazo.me  https://www.bebetterleaders.com https://www.intothestormbook.com https://www.keepchoppingwood.com https://www.instagram.com/kevindeshazo https://x.com/kevindeshazo  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindeshazo/  https://www.facebook.com/kevindeshazospeaks/ https://www.youtube.com/user/kevindeshazo "Into the Storm: How to Turn Adversity Into Your Advantage" (https://a.co/d/fNfXnKX) "Keep Chopping Wood: An Ordinary Approach to Achieving Extraordinary Success" (https://a.co/d/fZljRly)  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

Interview Questions: (Breaking News on NLRB instruction to private colleges re: social media) They cannot restrict their student-athletes from social media Cannot restrict their access to the media Referred to the student-athletes as employees – this is BIG This reversed policies that schools have which prevent and punish student-athletes for certain social media posts or even banning social media altogether revents requirements of student-athletes to turn over login usernames and passwords Interesting moving forward re: employment status Schools usually have these guidelines for a good reason; they are typically looking to help keep the student-athletes out of trouble Why don't you take a few minutes and take our audience into your journey, and how you got where you are today. Background in healthcare staffing Became frustrated with corporate America Noticed as the industry was changing how his colleagues spent a ton of time on Facebook; saw potential in using Facebook for a recruiting tool within their company; it worked! Got hooked on Twitter immediately Left his job and started his own healthcare staffing company; it did not go well On the side, was doing social media consulting Noticed how student-athletes were having a tough time using social media; always getting in trouble Finally a friend told him he should go fix it Went for it five years ago without a single college athletics contact Now been on over 100 campuses; trains coaches and staff in addition to the student-athletes in all student-athletes KEY: not just learning how not to make mistakes on social media, but rather how can you use it for your benefit What is Fieldhouse Media and Fieldhouse Leadership, and what do you do on a day-to-day basis? FieldHouse Media – Social media firm; how/why to use social media well; to stop using it inappropriately does not mean they are using it well FieldHouse Leadership – was an email service at the start; a way to challenge/encourage athletic department administrators Jeremie Kubicek – Giant Worldwide Be a leader people want to follow What are the most common leadership issues university athletic departments are struggling with? Pioneer Culture/Leader – futurist; strategic thinker; military style thinker; visionaries; the downside is it can be win-at-all-costs; can be a dominating personality and can shut other voices out; many people under this leadership will feel misunderstood; so the goal may be achieved, but at too high a cost Insecurity – people constantly feel like they need to prove themselves to someone; lots of comparison to others; leads to burnout; What have you found to be the most effective techniques or tools to help them work through those issues? Lots of visual tools Support Challenge Matrix [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="792"] (Support Challenge Matrix from FieldHouse Leadership and GiANT Worldwide)[/caption] What kind of culture are you creating? Leave the room and have your staff place you. Most are Dominator or Protector Under stress, culture trumps strategy all day every day; important to develop culture and challenge in good times, it will last through stressful times as well Talk about the five leadership voices. What are those and why are they important? Builds off of Myers-Briggs; simplifies Pioneer – futurist/military/strategic Nurturer – caretaker/champion relational harmony/impact on people Guardian – champion of logic/systems; is the structure and money there to execute? Is this even necessary? Creative – champion of innovation/can see opportunities and threats/struggle with status quo/can often have a hard time explaining what's in their head Connector – Champion of relationships/collaboration/branding/passionate salesperson If you can understand you natural voice and where you struggle, it will help you communicate with others We need every voice! 73% of people are nurturers are guardians; means most people don't want to move forward; keep things as they are; that has to factor in when leading people through change and into the future You tweeted recently that “too many leaders do a 180 once they are in a position of power.” What do you mean by that and how can we prevent it? When we're trying to move up the ladder, we have humility and want to serve; we realize we have to go above/beyond to get to the next step When we get there, now we want to be served; now we have power and we're for ourselves instead Leaders burnout or undermine their positions because of this People don't want to follow leaders who are for themselves Book recommendation: Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday What advice do you have for young professionals who are striving to be better leaders or maybe even trying to get that first opportunity to lead? Lead now! Don't wait for a title! Lead yourself; be the leader now that you would want Treat people around you the way you would as the leader Prohibition v. inhibition: who is stopping you from leading now? How do you approach leadership within your family? How, if at all, does it differ from the way you lead in your company? Being intentional Leadership is not a professional thing; it's not something you leave at the office when you come home to your role as husband/wife/father/mother Have a vision for how you want your family and your kids to be, and put structures in place to make that happen; hope is not a strategy What habits have been key to your success? Networking – in the best sense of the word; he likes to meet people and help people; wanting to genuinely serve people; has served him well Scheduling detail time in the day – not a strength, so something that must be addressed with structure Where can people go to learn more about you or Fieldhouse Media/Leadership? @kevindeshazo on Twitter @fieldhousemedia @fieldhousedaily Fieldhousemedia.net Fieldhouseleadership.co Fivevoices.com (free assessment) kevin@fieldhousemedia.net
