And then we choose to be proactive and rise above anger or frustration or hurt in that moment, and we choose the right response. That's when we can increase our influence.” - Ria Story, (7:31)“Anytime we are mad, sad, or frustrated in a situation, that's a red flag that says, ‘I don't have enough influence in that situation.' Anytime you're frustrated or mad or upset, it's because you wanted to influence somebody to do something they don't want to do or not do something they do want to do. So when you find that emotion there, it's because you feel powerless in that situation.” - Ria Story, (14:27)“Leadership is both incredibly dynamic and incredibly simple. When we define leadership as influence, that's an incredibly simple concept. We all want influence. But leadership can also be incredibly dynamic because people are dynamic, and every single one of us is different. And that's why it's so important to focus on the principles and applying the principles of leadership and influence instead of the practices.” - Ria Story, (19:25)

Mack and Ria Story had a great time speaking to FFA student leaders recently about Blue-Collar Leadership & Teamwork: 30 Traits of High Impact Players. Discover some of the key traits they shared with the students (ages 11-17).

My guest Ria was born and raised in Alabama. Like many, she faced great adversity very early in life. Ria was sexually abused by her father from age 12 to 19, forced to play the role of his wife and even shared with other men.  Desperate to escape she left home at 19 without a job, a car or a high school diploma. It was her now husband, who she has been with for over 20 years who gave her the confidence and courage to leave home and start a new life. Ria says "God doesn't cause the pain in our lives, but he can use it to help others overcome their own adversities." Today, Ria is a motivational leadership speaker, certified trainer, TEDx speaker, and author of 13 books. Ria also founded Fearfully and Wonderfully Me, empowering women to become the leaders they are destined to be.  YOU CAN FIND HER ON: IG @ria.story FB @ria.story LinkedIn @ Ria Story www.riastory.com You can purchase her books on Amazon!
