"We have the tools in place to rebuild just as we always have." - Charles Ajemian

[Why This Is Important] - The main message is to become a person worth listening to so you can understand how to rebuild and transform after a crisis. The episode message is to learn how to build equity from the individual level up through the family, community, and into the nation and world at large.

[What you need to know] - In the midst of crisis, individuals can develop equity in themselves through education and skills, contributing to the empowerment and enrichment of the community as a whole. The diversity of knowledge and skills can lead to the development of sustainable systems and adaptive leadership, creating a more enduring and sustainable world.

[What you need to do] - Embrace and celebrate diversity, develop sustainable systems that are adaptive and regenerative, and focus on harnessing the strengths of individuals and guiding the community with an understanding of systems.

[TAKE ACTION] - Embrace diversity, cultivate sustainable systems, and guide the community with an understanding of systems and adaptive mindful leadership.

Stories Matter! - Helping Leaders Transform Lives

Listen to accomplished leaders share how they have transformed lives.

Leaders essentially only do three things.

  1. Initiate change,
  2. Sustain change
  3. Grow Leaders.

Initiating and sustaining change are fairly straight forward activities, but growing leaders seems complicated. It's the process of instilling values.

That activity, too, can be broken into three elements.

  1. Clear direction - where you explain what you want done and how performance will be evaluated.
  2. Modeling the behavior - where leaders demonstrate integrity, by behaving in alignment with their stated values.
  3. Tell stories that demonstrate the values.

Join Gayle Turner and Shelli Jost Brady as they explains how and why stories amplify steps 1 , 2 & 3. Listen as they encourage their guests, accomplished leaders all, to share stories they have used to grow the leaders under their care.
