Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Podcasts in Careers!   Please note: This is a special rerun of Episode 130. “You are not your past. You are all of it, your past, present, and future. So do the work to release the shame, the humiliation, and the negative judgments you have about yourself. Release yourself.” – Kathy Caprino Over the past several years on Finding Brave, I've offered some key information about what I've observed are the 7 most damaging power and confidence gaps along with key chapters from my latest book, The Most Powerful You: 7 Bravery-Boosting Paths to Career Bliss. Some time back, I offered a series of 7 podcasts dedicated to these gaps that negatively impact 98% of professional women today, and 90% of men, preventing them from reaching their highest potential, and their happiest, most rewarding success and fulfillment. In this 7th installment of that series, I share the power gap that may be closest to my own heart and soul. I'm talking about how we unwittingly allow past trauma, pain and challenges that we've experienced to continue to shape and define us. And this unwanted pain and shame often brings to our lives unwanted experiences. I have lived this in such a deep way (and continue to work on it - as you'll hear in my upcoming interview, Episode #286 with Finnian Kelly - who helped me right on the show uncover a very painful trauma memory from when I was a teen, and connect that to some mindset (and behavioral) challenges I still have around money, work and safety. I never fully recognized this Power Gap (of how our past continues to shape and define us unless we gain fuller awareness of the trauma and pain events/experiences and work committedly to overcome and release them) until I became a therapist and started doing the work on myself and with others to help us heal. Unfortunately, life can hurt us badly sometimes and leave deep scars, and no one is immune. Every single one of us has experienced some form of pain, suffering, sadness, isolation, rejection, and trauma in our lifetimes. Many have experienced and witnessed things that alter how they see the world and operate within it. Sometimes, pain and hardship make us close down and stop trusting others. Other times, it makes us turn our pain into rage and violence against the world. Yet some people, while crushed by their pain for a time, are able to find a way to become more of who they really are at their core – more loving, compassionate, hopeful, helpful, generous, insightful, brave, committed, and resilient and joy-filled  — through all of it. And some are fortunate to know exactly how to turn their emotional challenges into new ways to be of service in the world so they can uplift others while expanding themselves. I sincerely hope that my “The Most Powerful You” series (for content on the other 6 gaps, check out Episodes #124 through #129) is enlightening, and in conjunction with my book and video training program, can help you uncover any power and confidence gaps that may be holding you back at this very moment. As always, thank you for listening and I would be so happy to hear your feedback on not just this episode, but the entire series and The Most Powerful You book.

It's often trauma.” [6:05] “How you integrate what happens to you in your own identity is going to shape not just your personal life and relationships, but your professional life and your career success.” [6:59] “There are traumatic events that happen in our life, absolutely, but once they happen there are steps you can take to grab back control of your life.” [12:20] “It's one thing to have insight, but it's not enough. Insight doesn't change your life. Brave action does.” [18:06] “The problem with these “dirty little secrets” is that if you do not address them with your eyes wide open, they grow bigger and more destructive. They send you underground and they eat at you.” [24:54] “Often the Universe is doing you a favor by kicking you out of a horrible job and a toxic ecosystem.” [30:20]   ——————— Sponsor Highlight I'm thrilled that Audible.com, Amazon Music and my own podcast production team - We Edit Podcasts - are sponsors of Finding Brave!

Thank you for listening to our Finding Brave show, ranked in the Top 100 Apple Career Podcasts! “The goal of the conversation is not to convince. It's not to compel, and it's not to control. It's not to try to get the other person to think something different. As soon as we believe somebody is trying to control us in that kind of way, we resist. So the very effort to convince, it makes you less convincing.” – Joseph Grenny Contrary to how many people feel in our world today, it is possible to tell the truth and avoid alienating a friend or colleague or engendering terrible and painful conflict. With so much distrust among family, friends, colleagues and our leaders, it's vital to not to take the two standard approaches – being silent or violent — on core issues but instead, we need to learn the essential skills behind expressing yourself candidly yet cordially.  Today's Finding Brave expert guest reveals how it's not having different opinions that's the problem in our conflicts, rather it's how and why we express those opinions, and the approach we take before even entering the conversation.  Joseph Grenny is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, dynamic keynote speaker, and leading social scientist for business performance. Joseph has spoken at some of the world's premier leadership conferences. His books have been translated into 28 languages, are available in 36 countries, and have generated results for 300 of the Fortune 500. I had the honor of interviewing Joseph and David Maxfield in my Forbes blog in 2015 in a piece on Gender Bias Is Real: Women's Perceived Competency Drops Significantly When Judged as Being Forceful, on their groundbreaking research on gender bias, and I've often quoted the information that their research uncovered that proved gender bias is not imagined, it's real – and their research showed on how women's perceived competency and perceived worth drops exponentially more than men's when they are are perceived as forceful or assertive. I've featured their work in my TEDx talk Time to Brave Up, and in my new book The Most Powerful You and my Most Powerful You Course which is why I'm so excited to speak with Joseph today and bring you his expert insights and perspectives on navigating crucial conversations. This episode is part of our “Summer Pick series” which features a selection of the most popular and downloaded shows we've aired in the past several years.   Highlights from this Episode: Why Joseph was first drawn to topics around communication and crucial conversations [5:36] The real reasons he feels that many of the conversations happening today are so volatile [9:01] Why your internal and external approach to a conversation will often be the key to achieving a successful outcome with the other person [12:57] The way that our fears, or the threats that we perceive, will impact how a conversation unfolds [15:22] A technique he recommends to disarm perceived threats by both parties [16:06] The 3 different types of stories we tell ourselves, and how to begin mastering them today [20:30] A time that Joseph made a stand to have his voice heard, and the role that setting ground rules beforehand had in doing this [23:44] What the goal of every conversation should be, and what we shouldn't be trying to do [27:24] How I was able to diffuse a difficult situation that I faced in my professional career [32:18]   For More Information: https://josephgrenny.com/  www.vitalsmarts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/vitalsmarts/  https://twitter.com/vitalsmarts https://www.instagram.com/vitalsmarts/    Resources Mentioned: Ready to become more confident, powerful and successful in work you love?   CHECK OUT MY “MOST POWERFUL YOU” VIDEO COURSE!

That's the only mechanism that gives us any hope.” [4:00] “Time and time again, we've found that almost any area of pain within an organization, what kept those problems chronic and turned them from an incident into a pattern, is peoples' inability to confront, discuss and resolve [the issues].” [6:02] “All of us are really hardwired for failure around complex social dynamics. However, we have the software to learn. We have the capacity to rise above our thinking and our patterns, and to create new ones.” [10:25] “The words that come out of your mouth will have part of an effect, but if there's a contradiction between what I read from your face and what I read from your mouth, I'll trust the face.” [14:15] “There's a huge opportunity for us to de-escalate our own emotions, if we recognize that this is just a perceived threat, and not a real threat.” [16:03] “When you behave in a way that's inconsistent with their story, you help them dismantle it.” [34:41]   Watch video versions of my interviews on Finding Brave!  Don't forget – you can experience each Finding Brave interview episode in both audio and video formats!

Key Takeaways: [0:18] Today’s episode of Franchise Euphoria is brought to you by IndyFranchiseLaw.com, a leading resource in the franchise space. Head over to IndyFranchiseLaw.com learn more! [1:00] For today’s episode, Josh heads into the archives of early Franchise Euphoria to bring back an episode with esteemed business author, Carol Tice, who was featured on the third ever episode of Franchise Euphoria. [2:06] The flashback begins with Josh introducing Carol Tice, a franchise writer and blogger who has incredible insight on the risks associated with franchising. [3:20] Carol’s writing career really took off when she transitioned to reporting. She spent five years writing about home improvement--specifically lumber yards--which served as her introduction into the business world. [5:30] One of the big things you want to buy with a franchise is expertise and a proven model. Oftentimes, businesses start selling franchises quickly after opening their first location. This can be a red flag to anybody looking to purchase a franchise. [7:38] As a franchisee, you need to ask yourself what you are getting out of your franchisor in return for the royalty fee you pay them. [9:41] While you miss out on brand recognition by buying into the franchises, on the other hand, you are presented with ground floor opportunity. [10:52] Buying a franchise is kind of like a romance movie. People fall in love with the brand and commit to purchasing a franchise, but the problem is that they don’t do their due diligence. [12:00] Carol suggests that you ask yourself the following questions before you buy a franchise: (1) How many of these franchises have been sold off, closed, or changed hands in the past year? (2) Have you spent a day job shadowing an owner who operates their business? (3) Have you called up owners and asked them if they would buy the franchise again if they go could back in time? [14:53] Many people don’t realize that franchise failure happens behind the scenes. [19:04] Some people will really hate being franchisees because they want more freedom to do their own thing. [22:30] Franchising often appears as a safer option than starting your own “Mom & Pop” business, but Carol is not entirely convinced that is the case. [24:51] Carol suggests that something that new and potential franchisees don’t account for is how much money they will need to get over the hump of starting a new franchise location. [27:52] In franchising, once you sign your franchise fees, you never get that money back, so it’s all the more important to be very careful on the front end and do extra due diligence. [30:26] You have to realize that there is no guarantee for success when it comes to franchising, but you can increase your likelihood by doing some real research before getting yourself into that situation. [35:37] Thanks for listening, and please, reach out to Josh anytime through email at josh@franchiseeuphoria.com.
