What's the most valuable tool that you have to inspire people? I've been observing influential people for years and notice that they all have one critical similarity.  They all tell stories.  It makes sense when you consider that the entire human experience is rooted in storytelling. From the earliest days of caveman we've been telling stories to convey greater meaning. Inspiring others to take action or learn lessons.  So let me ask you… what stories do you have to tell?  As I would discover during this episode, there are actually 7 essential stories that we need as leaders in our companies. Which is why I turned to my new friend Kurian to help me learn more.  Kurian Mathew Tharakan is the founder of the sales and marketing strategy firm StrategyPeak Sales & Marketing Advisors and a 27-year veteran of the sales and marketing industry. He has consulted for companies in numerous sectors. Kurian is also the author of the Amazon Bestseller, “The 7 Essential Stories Charismatic Leaders Tell,” which details how anyone can move people and mountains with the power of story. I hope this moves you into action, documenting and telling your own story. And giving yourself the permission to share and be vulnerable to inspire those around you.  On the next episode we'll continue to explore storytelling and the impact that it can have in your life and business.  See you soon.

A big part of how you perform as a leader lies in how you identify yourself. Are you the kind of person who is not afraid to be unconventional? Are you the kind of person who creates an impact on those around you? In this episode, we have the key points of Roy Osing and Kurian Tharakan as they discuss the attributes of noteworthy leaders and how we must perceive change. Tune in! In this episode: Roy Osing talks about how the rock band Grateful Dead's leader lived to be different and went against the flow. Prioritizing loyal clients instead of spending too much time enticing new customers is the way to solidify your customer base. Leadership must change to perform to the highest level. Simply relying on momentum won't be enough to keep up. Kurian Tharakan shares why Steve Jobs and Alexander the Great are his favorite leaders and how they revolutionized their realms. Spiritual practice is essential as a leader. This helps us be in the zone, remain calm, and take the time to reflect. Leaders are a part of the whole; they are not to exploit the whole. Key Takeaways: Prioritize your loyal customers instead of only focusing on growing your customer base Performing at a higher level requires a change in leadership Execution is king - 20% on planning and 80% must be on action Your spiritual practice is part of yourself as a leader There is always another opportunity to redeem yourself Your narrative is powerful as it defines who you are Tweetable Quotes: "You don't want merely to be the best of the best. You need to be the only one who does what you do.”  - Roy Osing (Jerry Garcia) “There's always a next big thing, and always another opportunity to not only gain, but also to redeem yourself.” - Kurian Tharakan Reach out to Denis: Email: denis@leadingchangepartners.com Website: http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/ (http://www.leadingchangepartners.com/)  Leadership Is Changing Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/ (https://www.facebook.com/groups/LeadershipIsChanging/) Leadership is Changing LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/leadership-is-changing-podcast/)

This was their moment of truth. They needed to face the biggest challenge their company had ever faced and it was going to take powerful leadership to bring them through it. As they entered the room for the emergency meeting, the CEO took to the platform, over 30 expectant and stress filled faces stared up at him, hungry for a morsel of hope and inspiration that they could get through this and win. He opened his mouth to speak and in a clunky monotonous voice said "Ummm.... erm... this is all quite challenging, isn't it? You're all doing a jolly decent job and if we're lucky, we might still all have our jobs next week. OK, well, chin up and off you go then." And that was it. No inspiration. The hungry were not fed but left wanting and it didn't need to be that way. If only he'd known how to inspire confidence and to become a charismatic leader. My guest for this episode could have saved that poor CEO and spared those stressed employees from a limp and uninspiring talk and turned it into something uplifting, powerful and charismatic.  Kurian Tharakan is an expert in charisma when it comes to leadership and is the author of the book The 7 Essential Stories Leaders Tell which is available for free to Kindle Unlimited members.In this episode: Why stories are so important to leadershipThe power of storytelling in salesA summary of the 7 essential stories charismatic leaders tellStory examples of the 7 meta-stories in actionA unique offer from Kurian to 5 of our listenersWhy religions keep spreading fastWhy atheism often seems less attractive than religionThe stories that lead a team to victoryand more besides in this fun and informative chat.If you want to take Kurian up on his offer and you are one of the first luckly 5 to do so, make sure you include that you got the offer from the Speaking Influence podcast and send your email to kurian@strategypeak.com and be sure to check out his website too.If you got some value from today's show, please share the episode with your network and feel free to let us know.

And that's how you make it stick. And what happens when you make it stick is you get the response that you may want." - Kurian Tharakan "Regis was the personal marketing consultant to Steve Jobs. And he used to say that great marketing takes its cues from great religion. And if you think of any, in order for religion to get more people into the religion stand, you have to tell great stories. And it's not just one story, it is a series of stories that are all welded together and merged to form a storyplex." - Kurian Tharakan "Story four is all about the enemy we face,not necessarily a person, it can also be something that we choose to overcome, something that we fight for or fight against." - Kurian Tharakan "When you tell all these stories, the imagination lights up and it becomes more than a bunch of bricks and HVAC systems, pavement, and concrete there. It becomes a story that comes alive which supports the price that you are asking for." - Kurian Tharakan "If all other things are equal, now you're comparing one property to the other property. Now, the story is what makes it come alive. One story, you as whatever it is, developer, a real estate agent, mortgage broker, that is your responsibility to install that story in all its grandeur in that prospect's head." - Kurian Tharakan "The ultimate thing is, sales is in large part, although it's about delivering functional value propositions that are functionally relevant and emotionally significant, there's a significant amount of entertainment value associated with this as well. When I say entertainment in this context, I say storytelling, tell stories." - Kurian Tharakan Additional Resource: Download your One-Page Strat Plan: https://reibranded.com/checklist/strat-plan/ Connect with Kurian Tharakan: strategypeak.com LinkedIn Twitter Email: kurian@strategypeak.com Connect with Paul Copcutt: reibranded.com LinkedIn Email: podcast@paulcopcutt.com Music: Thank you to Zoax for the intro music

What does making people laugh have to do with influence and persuasion? Quite a lot really. Comedy and humour can be very useful tools in your influence and persuasion toolkit when employed well and sadly, it's an area that is often overlooked in studies on influence and persuasion.It can be a powerful rapport tool. We tend to like people who can make us laugh and we are more likely to remember things when we find them funny. Being able to vary the emotional experience of your audience is one of the hallmarks of a confident and experienced speaker. Humour requires looking at the world a little differently.Not everyone will feel humour is for them but even a small chuckle or groan-worthy dad joke in a presentation can lighten the mood and expand the emotional journey of your audience. My guest Shaun Eli helps us out with some ways we can add some humour into our social, professional and public interactions. In this episode:The importance of being a clean comedian (if you can be)making humour through storytellingConnecting and engaging with people through humourHow to make your audience feel it's all about themSimple ways to add humour to a presentationWhy a comedy class could be just what you needThe big difference between a professional speaker and a comedianThe three steps to making a jokeand more besides.As Shaun states during the episode, our chat wasn't packed with jokes. We talked humour but not so much the jokes, so if you want to see Shaun in action, and he is indeed a funny guy, you can visit his website BrainChampagne.com and you can connect with Shaun if you'd like him to help make your talks and presentations more entertaining.On my next show, we're talking about influential storytelling with the fantastic Kurian Tharakan. Don't miss that and other amazing guests coming up to help you master the tools of ethical influence and persuasion.You can support the show for as little as $5USD a month, helping me being more amazing guests to you and improving the production and editing quality of the show. There is also a membership level that gives you exclusive access to me and my guests and also sponsorship opportunities.
