Derek Loudermilk, host of The Art of Adventure podcast, interviewed me on a book he's writing, and I recorded it for my own records. But as I listened to the playback I realized that there was so much good content in it about what makes a great leader and leadership as a practice, and more, that I couldn't not share it with you. The audio is lower quality, but if you can get past the typing sounds, I think you'll be glad you listened to this one.
We cover:
-How can we develop as leaders given today’s challenges?
-Inside out leadership: to lead others you, first lead yourself
-Why personal growth is crucial
-You’ll be a terrible speaker if who you are is a terrible person
-How speaking is leading
-How to be watchable on stage
-How to lead a team for real
-Why you can’t lead from a manual
-The importance of acknowledging and praising yourself first
-How can you expect your team to do something you won’t do?
-Mastering Tough Conversations is an unconventional path to leadership
-How David’s speaking radically changed, almost overnight.
-Being natural and authentic in front of 1000 people
-How I was able to sell $337,000 worth of product in 15 minutes
-How to begin developing yourself as a leader
-The concept of vulnerability and knowing yourself
-The manager I coached to be able to receive feedback
-Why you should confront your soft spots NOW, before you get into a leadership position
-The Fly on the Wall leadership exercise: you should try it!
