Podcast Cover art for mission-critical leadership podcast episode 15

In life, everyone gets stuck. The important thing to remember is that clarity creates confidence. In episode 15 of the Mission-Critical Leadership Podcast, we talk about three ways we get stuck, and I’ll cover three ways to break free and pursue the life you’ve always wanted.

Clarity Creates Confidence

Everyone experiences a stuck mindset in three primary ways:

  1. A lack of Discipline. (You can’t live from a place of motivation, you need to have a plan to be intentional in your energy expenditure).
  2. A lack of Resources. (Determine your true need and bare minimum needed for progress, don’t get sucked into starting “later” when you have it all together).Podcast Cover art for mission-critical leadership podcast episode 15: Clarity Creates Confidence
  3. A lack of Risk. (If you don’t know what’s at stake, you have no personal risk or reason to be uncomfortable).

To counter this, there are three ways that we can break free of these stuck moments in life. The bottom line is that clarity creates confidence.

  1. Get clear on your routine. (This helps instill discipline and the ability to execute the plan).
  2. Get clear on what you need. (Determine the difference between ‘wants’ and ‘needs’).
  3. Get clear on what is at stake. (Figure out your ‘why’ and the risk of not pursuing your dreams).

In This Episode

In this episode, we talk about those moments when we’re overwhelmed, exhausted, lacking in focus, and unmotivated. We talk about what gets us stuck, and how we can overcome it.

  1. Three ways of experiencing the stuck mindset.
  2. The three action steps that empower action and inspire growth.
  3. How mission-critical leaders inspire others.

 

Looking for the TL;DR version: get clear on what you want, where you’re headed, and why that matters. Clarity creates confidence.

In this episode of the Mission-Critical Leadership podcast, Justin talks about his one big requirement from prospective clients to determine the quality of their fit with his coaching system. It starts by answering the question, “What’s at stake?”

The Crucial Question: What’s at Stake?

Sometimes we learn through success. More often, however, we learn through failure. Early in my coaching career, I had my “anti-client.” He was someone that was such a bad fit for me, we were both miserable. In today’s episode, we talk about what I learned from him, and how that shaped my future practice.

Now, with this information and insight, I ask all prospective clients one major question.

“What’s at stake?” Podcast Cover Art for Episode 13 and the title reads "What's at stake?"

This question tells me why the work we will do matters and helps me gauge their commitment to coaching. More than that, it gives them clarity and focus as we start our journey.

It is also something you can use in your daily life to grow your own discipline.

Join me in episode 13 and we examine the crucial answer to the question, “What’s at stake?”

In This Episode

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The growth of coaches to meet specific needs
  • Just because you can coach someone, doesn’t mean you should.
  • What my worst client (ever) taught me about my own coaching philosophy.
  • Get yourself unstuck by asking, “What’s at stake?”
  • Why your mindset matters more than just about anything else.

In episode 12 of the Mission-Critical Leadership Podcast, we talk about Team Dynamics and Emotional Intelligence. What are the benefits of a team with a high degree of emotional intelligence? How do we know when we have it? How do we develop it if we don’t? We dive into that and a whole lot more in this episode. Join us.

In This Episode

In this episode, we talk about the team dynamics and emotional intelligence overlap that your team needs to have. We will discuss:

Team Dynamics and Emotional Intelligence

Recently, I had a personal value disrespected. While it looked like I was angry, I wasn’t. The problem is that disrespect and anger can present similarly. Where I failed was to make a clear expectation of my result. When that expectation wasn’t met, it wasn’t the other person’s fault. It was mine. I needed to do better. Learning how to name, identify and express emotions appropriately is part of what it means to be a mission-critical leader. Had I done better, the team would have performed better. Let’s learn about the relationship between team dynamics and emotional intelligence.
