“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.” —Charles Darwin I've never quite understood the 40 hour workweek.  Have you?  I mean, if you can get your work done in half of the time...why do you need to sit there until the clock runs out?  Production is production, isn't it? This is just ONE of the issues we discuss with my AWESOME guest, Natalie Nagele, on this week's Leadership Happy Hour.  Natalie is what all leaders should be; a life-long learner.  She is doing things really good but she still wants to do it better so she can "enable life" for her team.  I know you're going to dig Natalie as much as I do! CHEERS! More on Natalie... Natalie is the co-founder and CEO of Wildbit, the company behind Postmark, Beanstalk and Conveyor. With 29 team members across 5 countries working on multi-million dollar products for developers, she’s proving that you can grow an extremely profitable business while focusing on shorter work days, an enjoyable work-from-anywhere environment, and staying small.

"Persuasion is often more effective than force."  - Aesop I don't know about you...but I'm always trying to persuade someone to do something and, quite frankly, it's a skill that we as leaders need.  Gone are the days of beating someone over the head to get them do get something done (like that was every truly effective).   On this episode of Leadership Happy Hour, I have the great pleasure of talking with the Prince of Persuasion, Jeff Tippett, and his new book, Unleashing Your Superpower: Why Persuasive Communications Is the Only Force You'll Ever Need. Jeff was a pure joy to talk to.  He was funny, knowledgeable, and gives some easy implementable tips on how you get people over to your side of the fence.  Trust me, you're going to want to take note and to buy his book (the link is at the bottom). We also have a great segment on the "Hot Skinny" from Allan Larson.  If you've got a leadership tip for the hot skinny, make sure you email it to me at  chip@unconventionalleader.com and, if I share it on the show, I'll send YOU a free e-copy of my book, Leadership Secrets The Other Books Won't Tell You! Enjoy the show!  CHEERS! More on Jeff....  Jeff Tippett is an entrepreneur, speaker and author who specializes in persuasive communications. He is an industry practitioner, as the founder and partner of an award-winning public affairs + communications firm. His new book is called Unleashing Your Superpower: Why Persuasive Communications is the Only Force You Will Ever Need. Buy the book here: https://unleashingyoursuperpower.com/    

This episode, I get to talk to someone who I love, have great respect for, and who makes me laugh, all while teaching me something new about life and leadership. It's none other than Chip Lutz, the Unconventional Leader. I met Chip several years back at the National Speakers Association chapter in Wisconsin, and we have been friends ever since. We've shared a room at convention, he's gotten his certified speaking professional, I moved away to Tampa, and we've kept bantering on lots of things. What I love about Chip's leadership style is it really is unconventional. He admits there are no secrets to great leadership, and he focuses his message on looking at the common every day things in very uncommon ways. Chip served in the Navy and retired as an officer, after earning the rank of chief in the enlisted Navy. He is remarkable - and he will knock your socks off with his witty humorous ways of talking about leadership. Chip is offering you a free copy of his book Leadership by the Numbers, just for signing up for his newsletter at UnconventionalLeader.com, where he shares his unconventional look at leadership each and every month. Enjoy this episode about unconventional leadership, serving in the Navy, and using humor.  Connect more with Chip Lutz Follow Chip Lutz on Twitter Connect with Chip on Facebook Get Chip's free ebook at UnconventionalLeader.com Stay tuned for Chip's new podcast, Leadership Happy Hour, coming to you in January 2017.
