We all love giving advice! But when advice is your default as a leader, you can fall into an “advice trap” that actually crushes curiosity, creates disconnect, and prevents your team from finding productive outcomes. Bestselling author Michael Bungay Stanier (MBS) tackles this subject in his newest book The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever. In this episode, MBS shares some of the key lessons from the advice trap and his other books, including lessons and insights leaders can use to change their mindset, grow their curiosity, and create great new habits for building curiosity. 2:17 – With more curiosity, you can engage your people, boost morale and retention, and create a thriving organization 3:31 – Slow down in your rush to provide immediate advice 4:16 – As a leader, shift away from making advice your default response 5:13 – With curiosity, you can become a more strategic leader 6:11 – Defaulting to giving advice is often an ingrained habit 6:48 – When you start being more curious, you let others shine 7:17 – Curiosity can also strengthen your relationship with your family and others outside of work 8:40 – Forming new curiosity habits can take time and practice 9:47 - If you always give answers and advice, your team can become over-dependent, more disconnected, and less productive 10:48 – Through more curiosity, you and your team can find the purpose of your work 12:22 – While practicing curiosity and other new skills, approach it with patience and grace for yourself 13:28 – Be specific and deliberate in building your coaching habit 14:13 – Your team are your allies 15:19 – Instead of answering right away, stay in a place of curiosity a little bit longer 16:53 – Ask curious questions to find the root cause of issues within your team 18:48 – Asking questions can be more effective than giving advice 20: 11 – Your job isn't to come up with the best answer, but to help your team come up with the right answer 21:42 – To practice curiosity, pay attention to your body language Connect with Michael Bungay Stanier Visit his website and download chapter one of The Coaching Habit Learn more about Box of Crayons Read my book reports of The Coaching Habit

This is a re-airing of episode 284. New episodes return on Monday, August 14th. Michael Bungay Stanier: The Coaching Habit Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of eight books, including The Coaching Habit*, which has sold more than a million copies and is the best-selling book on coaching this century. In 2011 he created and edited End Malaria, a book written in partnership with Seth Godin that raised more than $400k for Malaria No More. Michael is the founder Box of Crayons, a learning and development company that's trained thousands of people around the world to be more coach-like. He has been featured in many publications including Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Fast Company. His TEDx Talk on Taming Your Advice Monster has been viewed more than a million times. Key Points When things get difficult, there are three roles people may fall into: the victim, the persecutor, and/or the rescuer. To step out of a victim role, figure out what's really going on, take a deep breath, and think, “And what else?” To avoid the persecutor role, assume positive intent and that people are trying their best. To stop rescuing as much, ask the victim, “How can I help?” or “What do you want from me?” Ask yourself what you want in the situation, and make sure you've communicated it to others. Then ask the others what they want.

You can't always choose the people you work with, but you can choose to pursue having the best possible working relationship with them. Joining us today is return guest Michael Bungay Stanier, author of the new book How to Work With Almost Anyone: Five Questions for Building the Best Possible Relationships, to talk about the importance of working relationships and how to create ones that are safe, vital, and repairable. Listeners may recognize Michael from Episode 210 of Finding Brave, How to Begin Doing Something That Matters, where Michael shares his keen insights on the three key components of a worthy goal and what it means to commit to one. Michael is the author of six books to date, the combined sales of which go well beyond one million copies. He is most known for his best-selling book The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever, and is considered one of the world's top thought leaders when it comes to coaching. Michael is also the host of 2 Pages with MBS, a fascinating podcast where his exceptional guests read the two most noteworthy pages of a favorite book and share how reading it impacted and shaped them. In today's conversation, we dig into the complex nature of working relationships, why they are so important, and how to have the best possible relationship with the person across the table from you. Michael shares why he felt compelled to write his latest book before outlining some of the essential questions he poses to readers and how they can improve working relationships today. He also provides a detailed breakdown of how to have a keystone conversation and explains how these can help you maintain and improve relationships by giving one another permission to check in and keep talking about how well (or poorly) you're working together. Working with people will always be messy and challenging, but when you commit to having the best relationship possible, incredible things can happen. To hear all of Michael's thought-provoking and very helpful insights on one of the most important aspects of our working lives, be sure to tune in today.

Let's work together and make that happen! While you might know me best as a podcast host and writer, a key focus in my work is career and leadership coaching for mid- to high-level professional women. In my Career & Leadership Breakthrough 1:1 program, I help women get what they want most, which includes more confidence, impact, recognition, advancement, financial reward, well-being, and fulfillment. And I also help them embrace their most exciting visions for the future. In the past 16 years, I've worked with over 20,000 women across 6 continents, and before that, I served as a therapist, and before that, I was a corporate VP managing multi-million-dollar budgets and global initiatives. I leverage all of that experience to help women build a new chapter of work to reach their highest and happiest potential in careers they love.

And how do we bring that about with the people we interact with?'” — @WorksMbs [0:16:17] “Part of committing to a keystone conversation opens up the possibility that people do self-work to become more articulate about who they are and what brings out their best so that when they're in conversation, they can have a more nuanced discussion and exchange of information.” — @WorksMbs [0:25:59] “Every relationship on that bell curve has a certain amount of potential to it. The question is, how do you fulfill as much of that potential as possible? How do you make the bad ones less bad? How do you make the average ones more than average? How do you keep the great ones shining?” — @WorksMbs [0:31:22] Longer Quote “I often think the greatest barrier to giving feedback is a lack of clarity on what you want to ask for. As soon as you get clear on what the request is, what you need to tell them becomes more crystalline.” — @WorksMbs [0:40:46]   Watch our Finding Brave episodes on YouTube!

For this week's Quick Fire Friday episode, Rob interviews Kurt Wilkesmann, a Director at Intelligent Business Thinking. He was born and educated in Melbourne, Australia. Kurt obtained his degree of Bachelor of Business at Swinburne University of Technology. He's a successful entrepreneur and has had a variety of businesses. Always having an inherent virtue of helping people, Kurt is now helping small-medium business owners overcome this pandemic of disengagement in the workplace.  According to Kurt's research, 90% of business owners recognize that engagement is essential, but fewer than 25% have a plan, and not much of that 25% is executing their plan. Employees are the company's greatest asset; engaged employees are the gears that keep the company machine running smoothly, and without them, it seems impossible for the organization to succeed. Kurt helps small-medium business owners integrate a connection with their employees by teaching them the three components that constitute a miserable job: first, a deep dive into transactional relationships, second, informing them that the work they do helps the organization, and third, commending them for the measured improvement that they've shown. A key takeaway that small-medium business owners can learn from Kurt, is the emphasis on the subject that business owners should realize that meaningful relationships are critical within the company. Relationships and emotions govern rational thought; they're stronger. It's the glue that holds the team together. It increases productivity and job satisfaction, but most importantly, it develops a positive company culture. This Cast Covers:  The significance of employee engagement and organizational culture in the organization. A widespread lack of engagement in the workplace across the globe. People accepting the status quo of workplace disengagement. Business owners increase their awareness regarding their employees. Employees are a company's or organization's most valuable resource. Employees are attracted to an organization because of what it stands for. Managers and business owners need to embody the organization's core values. Emotions are more powerful than rational thought. The three components that compose a miserable job. Developing meaningful relationships and solidarity inside the company.

The key to successful coaching lies in asking powerful questions that enable clients to unlock their own insights and solutions. Step-by-Step Playbook for Implementation: Develop the coaching habit by adopting the 7 essential questions: 1. The Kickstart Question: "What's on your mind?" 2. The AWE Question: "And what else?" 3. The Focus Question: "What's the real challenge here for you?" 4. The Foundation Question: "What do you want?" 5. The Lazy Question: "How can I help?" 6. The Strategic Question: "If you're saying 'yes' to this, what are you saying 'no' to?" 7. The Learning Question: "What was most useful or valuable here for you?" Practice the 7-Step Process for establishing a coaching habit: 1. Identify a coaching opportunity: Look for situations where you can support someone's growth, learning, or problem-solving. 2. Listen actively: Pay full attention to the person you're coaching, and resist the urge to offer solutions or advice. 3. Ask one of the 7 essential questions: Choose the most appropriate question for the situation, and ask it with genuine curiosity. 4. Pause and wait for their response: Give the person time to think and process before answering. 5. Ask a follow-up question, if needed: Use the AWE Question or another essential question to help them explore deeper. 6. Offer support, if requested: If they ask for your help, provide guidance or resources. 7. Close the conversation with the Learning Question: This encourages reflection on the insights gained during the conversation. Cultivate a mindset of curiosity: Shift your focus from providing answers to asking questions, and trust that your clients have the ability to discover their own solutions. Set boundaries and limits: Understand the difference between being helpful and overstepping your role as a coach. Encourage clients to take ownership of their challenges and solutions. Embrace the power of silence: Give your clients space to think, process, and articulate their thoughts without feeling rushed or pressured. Continuously improve your coaching skills: Stay informed about the latest coaching techniques and best practices. Invest in your professional development through workshops, seminars, and further reading. Measure your progress and success: Monitor the impact of your coaching on your clients' personal and professional growth. Use feedback and self-reflection to refine your coaching approach and ensure you're making a difference. In conclusion, "The Coaching Habit" by Michael Bungay Stanier offers invaluable insights into the power of asking the right questions in coaching. By implementing the strategies outlined in this summary, you'll be well on your way to transforming your coaching practice and making a lasting impact on your clients. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pressplayinspired/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pressplayinspired/support

It all starts with meaningful conversations. That's what Jenny Herald's guest on this episode of Dreams With Deadlines believes, and he's got data points to back it up.Devon Brown of Inciting Leaders shares insights on the evolution we've seen over the past decade from traditional top-down performance management techniques to a more continuous, ongoing framework that encourages ongoing communication.Key Things Discussed Why meaningful results start with meaningful peer-to-peer conversation The difference between (and mechanics behind) one-on-ones versus check-ins How to apply OKRs and measure for individual success within a team context Driving what matters: Choosing to emphasize behavior, delivery or both The future of performance management – what it looks like and what it needs Show Notes [00:00:35] About innovating the transition from traditional performance management to continuous performance management, starting in 2009 and accelerating as the function has shifted away from HR. [00:01:50] Why shifting the performance management model away from top-down annual event to ongoing, frequent conversations empowers managers and employees. [00:03:04] About the potent combination of Conversation, Feedback and Recognition (CFRs) with Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) at the heart of visionary leadership. [00:04:06] What poor management looks like versus a continuous, integrative approach that seeks to develop skills and adapt to situations on an ongoing basis. [00:06:33] Distinguishing between leaders and managers, where their skills overlap and why their tendencies are often (wrongly) conflated: Leaders create change while managers react to/execute on it. Leaders are people-focused while managers tend to be process-oriented. Leaders seek feedback while managers avoid or minimize vulnerabilities. [00:09:00] How the tension between organizational, team and individual application of OKRs can be managed to create a culture that supports progress across the enterprise. [00:14:30] Applying OKRs to and measuring for individual success – and growth – within a team context within a robust continuous performance management framework. [00:17:28] Why performance management is trending towards a team emphasis: Increasingly complex global and internal business structures The intensifying need for cross-departmental communication and collaboration [00:18:43] Defining “check-in” versus “one-on-one” conversations: Check-ins are ongoing conversations about performance, development, expectations wellbeing, and general feedback. One-on-Ones are solution-oriented, task-oriented, operationally-oriented and tactical. [00:20:25] A deeper dive into the big-picture, strategic nature of “check-ins”, including these four types: Assessing and adjusting to effectively manage expectations and goals. Short- and longer-term career development. Ongoing feedback conversations, both positive and negative. Overall, holistic well-being within a personal and professional context. [00:22:50] Why well-being conversations are key to the current workplace landscape: Pandemic-related recognition that people are not computers and have emotions. Potentially isolating hybrid conditions. The need to be in touch with whether workers are engaged – or not. To maximize retention and corporate loyalty. [00:27:01] How “performance” and “relational” currencies impact outcomes – and why. [00:29:13] Driving what matters: A look at which levers to pull in measuring for success and how they vary based on whether the emphasis is on behavior, delivery or both. [00:34:16] Distinguishing between the “what” (results) and the “how” (behavioral) in managing OKRs for both teams/individuals. [00:37:00] About identifying and incentivizing individual behaviors that build towards positive team results (without leaving behind a trainwreck). [00:41:20] Looking at the future of performance management: A move away from the individual towards team management through ongoing feedback. A tremendous need for enhanced leadership and training for stronger ongoing conversations at all levels of the enterprise. Integrative software systems to support ongoing agility and adaptability. [00:46:39] Quick-Fire Questions for Devon: What is your dream with a deadline? To impact 1,000 leaders in 2023 with positive downstream results across company cultures and individual lives. What is the No. 1 thing leaders can be doing to uplevel performance? There's no one thing, but frequent and ongoing conversations are essential. What advice would you give to people undertaking an OKR journey? It's easy to get excited by the idea of results, but stay attuned to how concepts like stretch and transformation actually fit into your workplace culture and history. What book has shaped the way you think about leadership and performance management?

This week on the show I throw back to my interview with the incredibly talented Michael Bungay Stanier (or MBS for short). Michael is the author to several books included best-seller The Coaching Habit which has sold over 1 million copies to date. Michael also founded a training and development company, Box of Crayons, that has taught coaching skills to hundreds to thousands of people around the world. He has also been featured on the TedX stage with a brilliant speech titled, “How to Tame Your Advice Monster.”Topics-“Be curious a little bit longer and rush to action and advice giving a little bit more slowly.”-What goes wrong when we give advice?-What is our advice monster and how do we tame it?-7 Coaching questions to lead to empowerment, clarity, and action-Understanding where you fit into the Drama Triangle-The importance of silence in conversation-Lessons learned from a former FBI Hostage Negotiator -The three key components to start doing something that mattersIf you enjoyed this show be sure to leave a rating, review, and refer it to a friend as that helps the show grow tremendously and puts a huge smile on my face. 

You've probably heard the phrase, “A book is a business card.” That's because what you don't hear is that a book is a wonderful revenue generator! It isn't — at least not directly. The extreme Time-to-Revenue Ratio of writing and marketing a book is not for the faint of heart, unless the book connects directly to a larger part of your business model, serving as lead generation for more profitable products and services. Some interesting stats for you: Even the big behemoth, Penguin Random House, reports that just 35 percent of books they publish are profitable. Among those that make money, just 4 percent account for 60 percent of those profits. In 2021, fewer than one percent of the 3.2 million titles that BookScan tracked sold more than 5,000 copies. Continuing on last week's conversation about the three different publishing options and how to choose which one is right for you, today I'm diving deep into the mysterious royalty waters. How do each of the three methods — self, hybrid, traditional — stack up? Listen in to find out. For more data points beyond my own examples, check out The Transparency Project's Publishing Paid Me crowd-sourced spreadsheet with nearly 3,000 responses.

Helen Fanucci is a best-selling author, transformational sales leader, team builder, podcaster, and sought-after keynote speaker. She is currently the Customer Success Sales Leader at Microsoft, where she's on a mission to provide thought leadership in employee engagement, hybrid work productivity and security. In today's episode, we discuss how sales leaders can learn to love their teams. Helen shares proven strategies sales managers can use to build stronger team cultures and deliver outsized business performance while retaining top talent. What You'll Learn: Red flags you should never ignore in conversations with sellers Why sales leaders must understand the things that matter to their people The two types of conversations every sales leader should master Traditional versus "Love Your Team" sales leader Why modern sales leaders should read Hellen's book Love Your Team How leaders unintentionally promote bad behavior in teams  The benefits of having an accurate pipeline How to have tough love conversations with your team  Why curiosity is a core skill in leadership The pandemic dramatically flipped the workforce power structure on its head. Team members have more power in the marketplace and they know it. As sales leaders, we must intentionally shift our approach from the traditionally accepted hustle mode and focus on the success and wellbeing of our team.  Links and Resources  When you need to hire top sales professionals, turn to a recruiting partner that speaks sales.

Who knew that one could look so youthful yet call themselves an elder?! Michael Bungay Stanier (or as he's often nicknamed, MBS) and I had a good laugh recording this episode as we chatted about the values of leading like an “elder,” despite looking and sounding much more like a 28-year-old ‘bloke' (British version of man, chap…you can choose your own word). Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of a number of successful books including: End Malaria, Do More Great Work, Get Unstuck & Get Going, Great Work Provocations and most recently The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever. He is also the founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons (BoxOfCrayons.biz), was the first Canadian Coach of the Year, and is a Rhodes Scholar. MBS regularly speaks to audiences around the world about “The Coaching Habit” and doing more great work. Highlights include speaking at Google, the HRPA and SHRM conferences, the Rural Women of Manitoba Conference, and anywhere that's vaguely warm during wintertime in Toronto, his home. My highlight is his appearance on the podcast of another favorite thought leader of mine, Brene Brown.In this episode, we discuss legacy and time, what it means to be an elder, and how to make a meaningful contribution to the world that is aligned with who you are.

People say they are attracted to people who make them laugh and have a good sense of humor. But it is a bit more complicated than that. It is true that humor can bring people together, but it can also pull them apart. This episode begins with an explanation about humor and couples. https://www.theknot.com/content/couples-who-share-sense-of-humor-study When someone asks you for advice, you likely give it. After all, they asked. However, you may be better off by keeping quiet and withholding your advice, at least for a little while. That's the suggestion of Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael has been named #1 Thought Leader in Coaching and he is considered one of the top coaches in the world. He is also author of a book called The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever (https://amzn.to/36WEUdY). Michael joins me to explain why you might want to be a little more stingy with your advice. We all tend to justify our mistakes and poor decisions to ourselves. When we do something wrong or that we regret, it doesn't line up with our beliefs about how we are good and honest people. So we make excuses or we decide there were extenuating circumstances because we know we are not bad people – we are good people who made a mistake. This process is called cognitive dissidence.

Have you ever felt “The Speed of Trust?” It's the “shortest route to results” (Robert Allen, author of Multiple Streams of Income), and “the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution.” Stephen R. Covey I felt “The Speed of Trust” from the moment I asked our next guest if he would come on the podcast, knowing full well that he hasn't spoken on a podcast or radio show since around 2014, but I know that “when trust is high, communication is easy, instant and effective.” Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/kCRjLyCKE40 On this episode you will learn: ✔︎ Who was behind the marketing strategy that took Stephen Covey's 7 Habits Book to sell over 40 million copies worldwide (surpassing the popular Think and Grow Rich book) in 40 languages. ✔︎ How exactly did Greg Link come to meet and partner with the late Dr. Stephen Covey and what dots were connected as he looks back over his career now. ✔︎ How “Inspired Action” a term coined by Jack Canfield helped many leaders forge a path where no one had ever been before. ✔︎ What the Covey Organization learned from taking their book to Japan, and how they became the best-selling foreign business book in Japan. ✔︎ How Dr. Covey simplified the 7 Habits, and his vision for this book from the beginning. ✔︎ The challenges that Dr. Covey had as they began their work in the K-12 school market, how they overcame these challenges, and created The Leader in Me program. ✔︎ How they overcame daily obstacles they faced and used the 7 Habits to move forward. ✔︎ How he came up with the idea for the 8th Habit. ✔︎ How Greg's expertise was recognized in the motivational speaking industry. ✔︎ Why Trust was a trait that was the center of The Speed of Trust, Smart Trust and their new book Trust and Inspire. ✔︎ What advice did Dr. Covey give Greg Link that changed his life, and how can you use this advice today? Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, EPISODE #207, I'm Andrea Samadi, author and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and today's guest is someone I have mentioned often on this podcast. For returning guests, you'll be able to figure it out quickly. For those who are new, welcome. This episode is very special to me in many ways—not just with the fact that I consider myself beyond lucky to have had the opportunity to have met some of the world's most influential people at a time in my life (late 20s) when this influence was important for the direction that I would take, that would land me exactly where I am now, all these years later.   While listening to today's episode, my hope is that this story inspires you in some way, to take action with whatever it is you are working on as I take you on a trip that goes back over 20 years ago, with the lessons learned along the way highlighted, so that you can see how some of the top influencers in the world have faced challenge, had doubts, fears and worries, and even unthinkably difficult life challenges that they all had to overcome, just like you and me. What was unique with this opportunity that I had while working in the motivational speaking industry in the late 1990s, is that I was driven to keep in touch with many of the speakers who came in over the years, (as you can see from this podcast) and this platform allows us all to continue to learn and grow from them with what author Jack Canfield would call Inspired Action (that I'll cover in a minute).  Today's guest, I know we can all learn from which is why I knew I had to ask him to share his experience on this podcast.  If you think back to our final episode of The Think and Grow Rich book study, EPISODE #196[i] that we launched 2022 with, we opened with a quote from Bob Proctor, who said ““You can't just THINK and GROW RICH, you've got to do something with those thoughts” and it reminded me of meeting some of these global leaders, around 20 years ago, including our guest today, Greg Link, and that knowledge is power, but without action, it's useless. It's got to be Inspired Action as well, that comes from the heart. The seminar where I met Greg Link was a pivotal one, and we'll talk about this in the interview,  when Steve Jobs says, you can't connect the dots looking forward, only looking back. It was here that I met Mark Victor Hansen, who co-authored The Chicken Soup for the Soul Series with Jack Canfield, Presidential Historian Doug Wead from EPISODE #187[ii] and many others including celebrities like Melanie Griffith, and world class athletes who came in to speak. I met today's guest, Greg Link in the lobby of the Ritz Carleton in Pasadena, as he introduced me to his good friend Stedman Graham, the longtime partner of Oprah Winfrey, at the very beginning of this event. I remember at the time, I had just started to write my first book that would be published quite a few years later, The Secret for Teens Revealed, (that was originally called The Mentoring Excellence Now Program that was created when I worked with over 100 youth with physical disabilities for the Easter Seals Foundation) and when I met Stedman, and saw that he had just written a book for teens[iii], I remember that feeling of “oh no, I've missed the boat on this topic” but the message I would receive loud and clear this weekend from the speakers, was quite the opposite. I can still hear Doug Wead shouting out at the audience, in an attempt to motivate action from them, when he said, “Get up and do something” with this booming voice and I wrote down-move forward with publishing this book idea I had in my head. What shocks me to the core, looking back and reading my notes from this event, is that I had written Doug's age beside his name. 21 years ago, Doug Wead was 54. I'm turning 51 this year, and if you heard EPISODE #187, you'll know that Doug passed away unexpectedly last year, at the age of 75.  I don't know how old you are, but I do know that whatever age you are, that there's no such thing as “missing the boat” with whatever it is you want to do. If that's not a huge motivator, I don't know what is. Remember, you can't connect the dots looking forward, only looking back. Everything I needed for success in my lifetime was right in front on me that weekend. They were all standing a shoulders length away from me. If you were standing next to someone who could possibly change the course of your life, would you see it? After I had recorded our Top 10 episodes of all-time, I got this strange feeling to ask Greg Link if he would come on as a guest. I mentioned taking “inspired action” at the beginning of this episode, and recognize this was one of those moments when I sent the message to Greg, but hesitated. Why was I afraid to ask him to do this? He's always been there, ready to help when I've asked in the past. He did an incredible testimonial[iv] for our work in 2013, AFTER those days working in the seminar industry, and he even wrote a back of the book endorsement for The Secret for Teens.  I hesitated because I knew he had been off the grid for some time, but I asked him anyway. That's what Jack Canfield, who partnered with Mark Victor Hansen for the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series would call taking “Inspired Action.” I learned from Jack Canfield that those flashes of insight we get to reach out to someone, are important to listen to. I'm so excited to see what this Inspired Action will uncover, and know that whatever it is that you take away from these secrets to success from someone who not only worked with, but partnered with the late Dr. Stephen Covey, my hopes are that it inspires you to move forward, and take the Inspired Action needed, to move you in the direction of your goals. Let's meet Greg Link…. Welcome Greg!! Thank you for speaking with me today on what I am shocked is your FIRST podcast appearance? Before I get to the questions, I always like to open up with something that helps us to dig a bit deeper before we begin, and it has to do with the fact that you kept coming into my head the past few podcast episodes, as I do tie in past episodes to current ones, and after quoting you on the last episode, I thought “I've got to ask Greg Link to see if he would speak with me on my next episode” and I know we have kept in touch over the years, but I wasn't sure if this is something you would want to do, so I was a bit nervous before I sent you that message. I usually listen to those thoughts that come into my head (Jack Canfield called it taking inspired action)—so I wonder, if you would share what you have been up to the past few years, since I saw you last, and what did you really think when I asked you to come on this podcast? This leads me to go back to where your career began… Q1: How exactly did you come to meet and partner with Dr. Stephen R Covey, I know you've told me the story—I wonder if looking back, like Steve Jobs' incredible commencement address at Stanford, what dots were connected when you think back to that moment? Q2A: When I found that interview you did in 2014 with that Toronto radio station where you mention where your journey with Dr. Covey began--it made me wonder what qualified you to work in publishing and why did Covey pick you? What did you do that made Ken Blanchard refer you to Dr. Covey when he was launching the 7 Habits book? Q2B: 2 PART QUESTION--It's written everywhere how you took the 7 Habits Book to incredible heights, published globally in 40 languages. Can you explain what you did? Also 7 Habits is the best-selling foreign business book in history in Japan. How did that happen? Q2C: How did get Dr. Covey to “simplify” the habits to make them easier for people to understand? Why did you call him your recovering academic? Q3: I saw it when I first began, and so did you! I remember you telling me how difficult it was BEFORE Leader in Me launched in our schools. You gave me millions of tips BEFORE I went into the schools with my work, and I still met with challenge and obstacles. Can you share how difficult it was for the 7 Habits BEFORE it sold millions of copies worldwide, inspiring the Leader in Me curriculum? AND what led the 7 Habits into primary schools in the first place? Q4: We could spend a good week on my next question, because you've got some incredible life experience, with high levels of success and achievement reached, but I want to know about those times where things were difficult. Our audiences consist of educators, and those in the corporate workplace (around the world) who could benefit from your story that you told me where everything went wrong in Portland (I think) and Dr. Covey insisted that “the show must go on.” Can you tell this story, so we can all take some pressure off ourselves when it comes to presenting or speaking in front of others and wanting everything to be perfect? What about Distance Learning from Microsoft and Zoom? Q5: I think I like the 8th Habit the most, as that's what I've centered my life's work around (especially with this podcast). You mentioned to me that The 8th Habit almost didn't get published! What happened? 5B: What's YOUR favorite habit, and one that you find yourself working on the most? Q6: When I first met you, it was around 2002 when you came to consult with Bob Proctor and Mark Victor Hansen from the Chicken Soup for the Soul on their 3% Club seminars, around the same time Doug Wead came in, and I remember meeting you in the lobby of the Ritz Carleton in Pasadena, that's now called the Langham, and I remember that you were coming in to help impact change with the seminars back then. What do you remember about those days, and working with the seminar industry leaders? Didn't you also work with Tony Robbins and Werner Erhard? Q7: We've talked about your book with Stephen M.R. Covey, Smart Trust. I've got a Character Book on my laptop that I've held off producing (it was a compilation of lessons I used when I worked with schools) but will release it eventually. Trust has always been THE most important character trait for me. What was it about Trust that you thought was important for everyone to know-what was so important about Trust for you that you wrote a book on this topic? Q8: I know you've got another book on Trust coming with Stephen MR Covey (Trust and Inspire)…and in this low-trust world, I think this is the best time for this book. What's this next book about? Q9: I've got to ask a question about family, since I know it's an important part of your life, and the pandemic surely put the emphasis on family for us globally. Your family has gone through some really difficult times. For those listening, who may also be dealing with difficult times, what words of encouragement could you offer with your life experience in mind? Q10: As we think of all the habits, I like the 8th Habit the most, as it relates to our building our legacy (Find your Voice and Inspire others to find theirs.  What advice can you offer for people listening as they might be working on the legacy they want to create, thinking of Dr. Covey as an example? Q11: What's next for you? Trust and Inspire, and then what? Q12: What are your final thoughts? For people who want to reach you, what's the best place? I'll be sure to put your Twitter, Linkedin and social media accounts, and I'm sure when this goes out, everyone will be reaching out to you for an interview. A lot of excitement was generated BEFORE I even asked if you would do this podcast today. Greg, I want to thank you for your time today, to share these secrets that only you would know. I'm so grateful we met, and that you took an interest in helping me along the way to find my voice, and help others find theirs. Where I am today is such a huge quantum leap from where y mindset was back when you first met me, so I'm forever grateful for the help, ideas and support along the way. I'm looking forward to Trust and Inspire coming out next month and learning more from you moving forward.  This episode is far from over. My mind was blown while editing this episode as Greg mentioned so many book titles, that I do plan on creating a map of this episode, with his suggested book titles to guide us along the way. I do highly suggest grabbing this next book, Trust and Inspire, and taking on Dr. Covey's challenge of reading a book a week, like Greg has done over his career. His final challenge of writing out the 20 books that have changed your life, with your commentary, is something I will do in the future, and hope that this episode inspires you to take inspired action in your life.   See you next episode!

One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein 'We are human beings not human doings” Dalai Lama "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” Albert Schweitzer “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations" George Bernard Shaw “At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou “In the end all you have is your reputation” Oprah “It takes 20 years to build your reputation and 5 minutes to ruin” Warren Buffett REFERENCES: [i] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #196 “The Neuroscience Behind the 15 Principles in Think and Grow Rich” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/the-neuroscience-behind-the-15-success-principles-of-napoleon-hill-s-classic-boo-think-and-grow-rich/ [ii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #187 in Memory of Presidential Historian Doug Wead https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/in-memory-of-presidential-historian-doug-wead-on-applying-leadership-and-character-lessons-from-the-greatest-us-presidents/ [iii] Teens Can Make it Happen by Stedman Graham, December 2001 https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Teens-Can-Make-It-Happen/Stedman-Graham/9780684870823 [iv] Greg Link's Testimonial of Andrea's Work Published Fed. 14, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTfN-6ZSmdY
