LEADERS VALUE RELATIONSHIPS OVER CONVENIENCE, CASH FLOW AND CONTROL “There will be abundant opportunities as a leader to negotiate the terms of a deal. Many times these terms will not be as clear cut as preferred. In fact, every deal has layers, like onions and ogres… and chocolate cake. Unforeseen circumstances, peripheral events, outside people o…

HOW DO YOU LEAD WHEN YOU HAVE NEITHER CARROT NOR STICK? “Parents, pastors, politicians, military commanders, law enforcement, legal authorities, bosses and bullies all posses a certain amount of leverage to motivate those they lead.

BUILDING SOMETHING? LEADERS NEED TO KNOW THE VISION AND THE DETAILS “WHAT DOESN’T MATTER? - your story - your passion - your joy - your brand - your reputation These things are not irrelevant, they simply pale in comparison to these: Do your homework and prepare your plan.

“THE PERSON I AM VOTING FOR…” BONUS CONTENT “We don’t get to put Jesus, Buda, Ghandi or Alla on the ballet as presidential candidate. We do however have to consider the consequences of every election as the choices we make pertain to policy. Every voting cycle, imperfect people throw their hat in the ring to govern as a representative of American s…

DO SOMETHING EVEN IF IT SEEMS SMALL AND INSIGNIFICANT “A leader is an action taker. When the world is falling apart, your neighbors are in need, and you can do anything at all, YOU MUST. Certainly, you cannot solve every problem, you cannot heal every wound, you cannot help everyone and that’s ok. What you cannot do is NOTHING. As a leader you must…

UNDERSTANDING YOUR UNIQUENESS IS ABOUT VALUE, IDENTITY AND THE POWER TO GAIN WEALTH “Society seems to have a passion for labels, homogeny and the blurring of lines of definition. It also seems the more labels are added, the more distinct qualities are discounted, devalued, diluted. The real value of each human is as unique and distinct as their fin…

LEADERSHIP BEGINS EARLY WITH LEARNING TO OPEN THE DOOR In leadership the small details often matter the most. The simple tasks are easy to over look but they are evidence of something significant.

HOW MANY WAY MUST A LEADER ‘FIGHT’ FOR THOSE THEY LEAD? “As a leader, there are many arenas, environments and situations where your obligations and opportunities are in direct conflict.

LEADERS MANAGE MINDSET THROUGH STORYPOWER AND SELF TALK “Comments under the breath of an employee who is struggling could be a warning sign of things to come.

HOW DOES A LEADER MAKE THEMSELVES INDISPENSABLE? “Obsolescence is a naturally occurring eventuality. Trees rot, cars rust, animals and humans age and become frail. Sometimes capitalism drives obsolescence intentionally to create new demand and profit. I would love to hear your opinion on the attributes of a leader which delay becoming obsolete. Wil…

THERE IS NO BAD TIMING FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING “Being consistent should not mean being judged as self righteous. Standing unwaveringly on moral values and standards should not be reason for being despised and mocked. However, knowing who you are and what you believe will bring ridicule and contempt. Do it anyway. Living what’s right, doing what’s…

TODAY’S NARRATIVE IS TOMORROW’S DESTINY “Whoever controls the narrative controls the future.

The experie…

ANYTIME THE GOVERNMENT CO-OPTS ANOTHER ENTITY IT IS A POWER PLAY FOR THE GOVERNMENT “Anytime the government co-opts business, schools, family or even the church, it is a “power play” for the government.

LEADERSHIP AND SELF ESTEEM MAKE INTERESTING BEDFELLOWS “Leaders tend to rise to the top because of certain litany of character or personality traits.

The personality which boldly demands…

LEADERS COMMUNICATE WITH THE INVISIBLE POWER OF A PAUSE “All too often, unseasoned communicators and leaders accept an opportunity to speak, teach or train as a window into their own soul.

LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION IS NOT FOUND MERELY IN AN ABUNDANCE OF MEANINGLESS WORDS “It seems silly to say, an abundance of words is not communication. Clear meaning, expressed intent, articulated purpose, defined mission, and a worthwhile cause might be the reason for communicating but adding superfluous words to a monologue does not inherently make…

LEADING WELL IN TROUBLED TIMES DEMANDS A STRONG FOUNDATION “Leaders are expected to maintain the course in the worst of storms. No one wants to believe their leader will abandon them when the trials come. Truth is, leaders are human too. The crisis which impacts everyone else impacts them in the same way. As a leader the calling, the expectation, t…

LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING, DEFINING AND RESPECTING BOUNDARIES “People in general have a love - hate relationship with boundaries.

YOUR SUPPRESSED DREAM REQUIRES ALL YOUR GREATEST SKILLS - A LEADER WILL CALL THEM OUT - OTHERS WILL BUY THEM OUT “Sometimes the hardest role as a leader is to unleash what you recognize in someone you lead.

LEADERS GET OUT OF THE PEOPLE PILE BY DISTINCTION “Leading people seems like a fun and easy thing to do, to anyone who has never done it. The instant a person offers themself up on the altar of leadership, they become the target of all sorts of assaults and attacks. Attacks will come from the opponent, from the competition, from the naysayers and e…

A GREAT STORY NEEDS NO INTRODUCTION (STORYPOWER FOR LEADERSHIP) “I regularly hear leaders of all sorts begin their communication with a preface, an intro, a preemptive clause.

A GOOD LEADER WILL CORRECT WITHOUT DESTROYING “A good leader’s correction should not humiliate, dehumanize or demoralize the person corrected.

This…

STORYPOWER TV INTERVIEW WITH J LOREN NORRIS AND THE POWER OF GRIT COACH SHAUNA SOMMER “When we stand up to authority there are consequences.

LEADERS ARE EXPECTED TO CHALLENGE THE WAY OTHERS THINK “Leaders are critical thinkers. There is no idle mind in a leader. When the thoughts which dominate the mind of a leader are trapped in the head of the leader no one benefits.

A GREAT SPEECH OR SPEECH GIVER DOES NOT A GREAT LEADER MAKE “The relationship between strong communication skills and strong leadership is a paradox. The direct line which states, great leaders must be great communicators is well evidenced. The assumption however, that a great communicator is also a great leader is not foundational in truth. Many s…

LEADERS REQUIRE RELATIONSHIPS EVEN WHEN ISOLATION IS SAFER “The more a leader trusts people, the more risk they take and the more vulnerable they become.
