How to Inspire Action and Lead With Authenticity as an Influential Executive Leader Today, we explore how the most influential leaders build trust, communicate strategically, and--- leverage emotional intelligence to inspire action and lead with authenticity.  1. Empathy and Emotional Intelligence Understanding your team's emotions and motivations is crucial. Empathy enables you to tailor your approach, ensuring your message resonates with each individual's unique perspectives. Executive leaders who demonstrate high emotional intelligence not only influence but also foster loyalty and collaboration within their organizations. 2.

Executive influence relies on conveying a clear and compelling message that aligns with your audience's interests.

When people trust your judgment and respect your values, they are more likely to follow your lead. 4. Leveraging Social Capital - Building Strategic Relationships Your network is your net worth in the executive space. Building strategic relationships across departments and industries enhances your influence. When others recognize your ability to connect people and ideas, your ability to influence outcomes grows. 5. Adaptive Leadership  Executive leaders need to be flexible and adaptive. An essential influence technique is understanding when to lead, listen, and empower others to take the reins. Adaptability shows you are responsive to change, an invaluable trait in today's fast-paced business environment. You can lead with authority and authenticity by mastering executive influence techniques and driving personal and organizational success.

SummaryThe authority paradox is the more you try to prove your credibility, the less credible you appear. Proving credibility often involves teaching as much as possible and listing certifications, but this can be distracting and overwhelming for the audience. Focusing on yourself instead of your audience hurts your connection with them. Instead of teaching all the details, focus on shifting belief patterns. Teaching to shift beliefs requires empathy and understanding of your clients. Using client stories and strategizing what to teach can inspire action and create credibility.   In This Episode We Discuss The more you try to prove your credibility, the less credible you appear. Focusing on yourself instead of your audience hurts your connection with them. Teaching to shift beliefs requires empathy and understanding of your clients.

She is the founder and CEO of the Murtala Muhammed Foundation (MMF), a non-governmental organization that promotes good governance and is dedicated to engendering socio-economic change on the African continent.  As co-founder of the Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG), an activist group formed in the aftermath of the abduction of 276 girls from their school premises in the Chibok village of Borno State, and the author of Stolen Daughters of Chibok, Aisha is committed to societal change and making sure all of the girls are returned home and not forgotten.    What You Will Hear in This Episode:    1:50 Aisha's personal story 6:40 Boko Haram Chinbok schoolgirls kidnappings 9:00 Activism for women's rights,  gender issues and education 14:00 The impact of Boko Haram on women and girls 22:10 Reconstructing communities and building trust 28:22 Aisha's book, “Stolen Daughters of Chibok”   Quotes “I come from a family of women who are very clear about what they want and so you can imagine if you then juxtapose that with an education I think activism probably runs in our blood.” “In some communities 70% of the children have never seen the inside walls of a formal classroom. “ “My argument also is that for every child that you put back in school, that's a whole generation of that child's family that is going to benefit.”   Mentioned: Stolen Daughters of Chibok Murtala Muhammed Foundation Facebook Instagram LinkedIn   eConnect with Bonnie https://bonniemarcusleadership.com/ https://web.facebook.com/bonnie.marcus/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonniemarcus https://twitter.com/selfpromote https://www.instagram.com/self_promote_/ Gendered Ageism Survey Results Forbes article 5 Tips to own the superpower of your age IAMMusicGroup Purchase my book Not Done Yet on Amazon:    If you enjoyed this episode of Badass Women Podcast, then make sure to subscribe to the podcast and drop us a five-star review.

The Best Story Wins (ft. John Livesay and David Burkus)John Livesay and David Burkus on telling stories and picking fightsOPENING QUOTE:”Whoever tells the best story is the one that's going to win that pitch, not who has the best price or who has more bells and features.” -John LivesayGUEST BIO:John Livesay, also known as The Pitch Whisperer, is the speaking industry's sage of storytelling and the go-to expert for helping brands tell compelling stories to their own audiences. He's done exactly that for the likes of Coca-Cola, Olympus, Berkshire Hathaway, and many more big name clients, offering a roadmap for turning great products into narratives that customers just can't ignore.Links:WebsiteFacebookTwitterLinkedInYouTubeDavid Burkus is one of the leading minds in the business world, and one of its most provocative. He literally wrote the book on managing remote teams before COVID hit. Since then, he's been instrumental in helping organizations everywhere adapt to the seismic shifts brought on by remote work, especially when it comes to how leaders interact with their team members and their customers. Links:WebsiteTwitterFacebookLinkedInInstagramYouTubeCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[3:40] - Why a Bad Time is the Best TimeTurning opposition into opportunityDavid shares how he entered the professional speaking game at the height of the pandemic — probably the only speaker to make that somewhat insane choice. But David doesn't see it that way. He turned a powerful new need, managing remote workers and teams in the COVID era, into an opportunity to provide unique value. He's never looked back, and there's something to be learned from his accomplishment. Sometimes the worst time is the best time.[5:40] - The Universal LanguageThe brain thinks in stories, which is why storytellers excelFrom Olympus to Coca-Cola, John Livesay delivers the same undeniable message: the best story wins. Audiences think in terms of narrative — it's how the brain is wired. That's why the best speakers, leaders, marketers, whatever you like; they're the ones who know how to tell a story. What story are you telling?[9:07] - You Are Your Own Chief Culture OfficerManaging people is everything, even if you're only managing yourselfEvery leader at every level of an organization is the chief culture officer of their own team, whether it's a team of two or 200. Even a sole proprietor has a company culture — it's what they will do, won't do, and the things they insist on in their work and general approach.  It's how they function, how much they're willing to work, all the little details that make up their “organization” of one. Teaching every leader at every level how to take responsibility for the people in their team is the key to unlocking real impact that lasts.[11:25] - Want to Inspire Action? Pick a FightStop talking metrics and put on the boxing gloves“People don't want to join a company anymore, they want to join a crusade.” With that, David Burkus introduces one of the most striking ideas from our episode — that if you want to lead people, you need to pick a fight and do so wisely. Position yourself as your customers' ally in a fight against the status quo, and you'll inspire many more people to join you on that mission than if you just talk metrics and KPIs.RESOURCES:[2:04] Leading from Anywhere, by David Burkus[4:34] Books by John Livesay[11:25] Pick a Fight, by David BurkusFollow John Livesay:FacebookTwitterLinkedInYouTubeFollow David Burkus:WebsiteTwitterFacebookLinkedInInstagramYouTubeFollow Josh Linkner:FacebookLinkedInInstagramTwitterYouTubeABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

Hey Friend. Sometimes when we think about the year ahead, it can be difficult to set goals. Sometimes as we think about things we would like to do, our brains like to shut them down before they ever reach paper, much less become a plan. Most of the goal-setting exercises we do look something like this…   Write down / brain dump all the possibilities of things we want to do.  Narrow that list down to a few to focus on Take those few things and break them down into action steps. The problem with this method lies in step one. That list is often based on what we currently think is possible based on the past.  And when this happens we tend to set uninspiring goals that don't pull us forward and feel more like a nagging to-do list. On this episode, I'm sharing a simple mindset shift to help you set truly inspiring goals for the next year  Let's do it!   -- Kayla   LINKS + MENTIONS You know that thing you need to do in your business?

Keith joins Michelle and Maria in welcoming Heather Hansen to the show today to discuss authentic adaptability. Heather helps top global professionals show up, speak up and inspire action and change the world and is the author of the book Unmuted: How to Show Up, Speak Up, and Inspire Action. Today, Heather shares nuggets on how to foster effective communication between leaders and their teams. Heather starts by sharing the purpose of her book, explaining that the book was written to understand and promote good communication, which is built on more listening, rather than speaking. She also reveals that there are dangerous effects of language bias as it is often a result of deeper discrimination and explains the meaning of authentic adaptability and how we can remain true to our values even if we seem different every day. Heather concludes by sharing insightful tips to help leaders and teams develop good communication and action. The Finer Details of This Episode: Heather discusses her book, Unmuted The importance of listening rather than speaking What are the effects of language bias and linguistic discrimination? Exploring authentic adaptability How can leaders practice authentic adaptability? Making the change and growing Understanding your values Heather's tips on developing teams and leaders Quotes: “My primary goal with the book was to inspire those who have not been speaking up in the world to begin sharing their brilliance. We've been listening to the same demographic for a long time, and as I look around the world today, I think this can't be it.” “We're facing so many extreme crises all over the world in all different areas, from the environment to political conflict. I just refuse to believe this is the height of human potential - there has got to be more.” “Unmuted is trying to give a toolkit or a skill set to leaders and everyone in the organization, to know when to press mute and listen, when to speak up, how to do so in a way that's respectful of our differences, how to become more self-aware in our leadership practices and how we are appearing before others.” “The key is learning to listen so that people want to speak up. And that means as leaders, we have to give space for that. We have to build relationships, we have to create psychological safety in the organization so people feel comfortable coming to us with new ideas.” “It's about connection, not perfection.” “Linguistic discrimination is the last acceptable form of discrimination in our society, people don't recognize it or realize it exists. And they don't realize how deep it runs, how it is connected to discrimination according to socio-economic status.” “Authentic adaptability is the ability to show up and adapt to the surroundings, adapt and be flexible to others, other ideas, different ways of doing things, as long as we are remaining true to our values.” “We have had it drummed into our heads that if you're showing up different, you're not being yourself, but I am.” “Sometimes what you are told to believe and raised to believe and your entire culture and society believes is not something you necessarily have to embrace. And it's not something that necessarily has to define you or those around you.” Show Links: REL Talent: HR Consulting Email REL Talent REL Talent on LinkedIn HeatherHansen.com Heather's Linkedin Global Speech Academy

FeaturingConnect with Mandy Crawford: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-crawford-dir/Connect with Kevin Gilbertson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kgilbertson/In this episode Mandy Crawford, CIO, of the State of Texas, and Kevin Gilbertson, CIO, of the State of Montana discuss the challenges of public sector leadership, emphasizing the importance of relationship building with legislators, motivating teams through a shared passion for service, avoiding pitfalls like promoting subject matter experts without leadership training, and collaborating across states to share information and leadership development opportunities.Timestamps:00:00 People are the answer to technological problems.03:17 Leveraging relationships with industry and legislative members.09:33 Build trust, align team, invest in members.11:48 Regular meetings with employees for mutual growth.15:05 Alignment critical for public and private sectors.17:47 Balancing priorities in public sector roles is challenging.21:35 Understanding constituent interests, trust, and communication tactics.26:17 New legislator seeks to understand and advocate.28:20 Public service in Montana fulfills personal mission.32:19 Networking and learning from other leaders.35:48 "Joe Toste discusses public sector tech leadership."Quotes: The Power of People in Technology: "I mean, I think for us, and it's going right back to people. And the people is the answer to all of this."— Mandy Crawford [00:02:21 → 00:02:28]Leveraging Relationships for Organizational Success: "And I know some of the other folks here today have talked about that. And it's not just relationships with industry, but relationships with the business deciders at the agencies, as well as state leadership. And so I think that that is a crucial thing that sometimes is missing, or maybe not as developed in sub-technology organizations, is understanding how to translate technology for business, and even more importantly, translate it for the money people, the appropriators, the people that you need to be able to support your mission and the endeavors that you want to do to help take technology to really drive that transformation and drive that change."— Mandy Crawford [00:03:33 → 00:04:12]The Pitfalls of Promoting Experts to Managers: "And all of a sudden, you're good at your job and you become a manager and you no longer get to do the thing that you really loved or were good at, and all of a sudden, you're just a manager with no training."— Mandy Crawford [00:08:46 → 00:08:55]Building Effective Teams: "I've got to have that trust there. So certainly building good teams, and then once you have the team there, you've got to make sure that your team is aligned with you on your vision for building up the future of the agency."— Mandy Crawford [00:09:35 → 00:09:48]The Importance of Employee Engagement: "one of the things that I make a priority is to meet with all of my employees, not just my direct reports. And we do it on a rotating basis over the year, because I want to just keep these conversations fresh, and I want to know what they're seeing, and I ask them questions about what do we do well, what can we do better?"— Mandy Crawford [00:11:51 → 00:12:10]Managing Priorities in Public Sector Work: "The thing that's the hardest to juggle is those priorities that are placed upon you by outside sources, and they become your number one priority. And so you may have been going on track with something else, but then there's something, because it's the nature of public sector work and things like that, and it could be from an agency that really needs you right now because of something that's going on. It could be because of a legislative priority or a priority of the governor that all of a sudden that becomes your new priority."— Mandy Crawford [00:18:18 → 00:18:45]Building Effective Political Relationships: "You got to say what you mean, do what you say, or all of those different things."— Mandy Crawford [00:22:43 → 00:22:49]Advocacy in State Technology: "I also see, and my agency sees that a big part of our role is to be advocates for you all. And we want to have the solutions that you all need to be able to do your jobs."— Mandy Crawford [00:24:55 → 00:25:06]Driving Force Behind Technological Missions: "It's about mission, and it's knowing that it's a fight worth having even on the worst days, that there are some fights that are just worth it. And I really do believe in our mission and our vision of helping Texans and using technology to be able to do that and supporting our customer agencies."— Mandy Crawford [00:29:28 → 00:29:50]Cross-Sector Collaboration: "Because I've grown up in government, and so there's a certain way that I look at things. So one just sort of the fresh look and the fresh take on the way to do things I think is certainly very valuable."— Mandy Crawford [00:31:39 → 00:31:49]⭐️ Leave a ReviewIf you enjoy listening to the podcast, ⁠please leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts⁠ and let us know who you want to see next on the podcast in your review.
