ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
A new coat of paint, a face life, a fresh landscape for curb appeal will do wonders for presentability. However, bondo and paint job only hide the cancerous rust. A face lift will not counter biological aging. Hours in the gym, a radical shift in diet and a new circle of friends will not overcome character flaws.

Often rebuilding our lives, businesses, relationships, demands more than a touch up. A simple remodel is not enough. What works might shock you. Your story and mine might be different, but the application of the right tools will rewrite your story. I have no doubt,

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Circumstances in this life will bend you, break you or simply leave you deformed and out of sorts. How you respond to events beyond your control is your choice. The consequences which follow that choice are yours as well.

As the young people say today “play silly games, win silly prizes.”

Learning to identify the point at which you simply cannot return to status quo is crucial to building an effective and resilient life.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
This is the first assessment to LIVE A MORE EXCELLENT LIFE (book by J Loren Norris available on Amazon)

These are tools for making a list of good and bad habits. Positive and negative out comes. Behaviors worthy of modeling and behavior which could destroy your future before it starts should be accounted for here.

Those who operate their lives with minimal self awareness are unlikely to succeed much less lead others well.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

Attitude is what you think about how you feel and how you feel about what you think.

A leader who feels confident, strong, assertive, bold, in charge ONLY when they are right IMHO is a weak leader. They are usually, actually deeply insecure and must be assertive to convince everyone they are right. Even when they suspect they are not.

A leader who thinks “I could be wrong and I want to know if I am,” might seem weak, submissive and malleable to the outsider. The confidence, emotional intelligence, moral foundations and long term stability are likely the trademarks of a leader who knows how to be corrected.

Both of these leadership styles will surface through the stories the leader chooses to tell. Ego and humility both hide in everyday conversations.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
“Measure twice and cut once!”

I almost got it right. Then I realized I overlooked a tiny detail. A small compromise meant a huge disappointment looming. Sure there’s a fix, a solution, a remedy for this potential problem I have created. It is also a remedy which could have been avoided with a tad more effort and a bit of an investment.

Whether bookshelves or sales teams, education or recreation, information or entertainment the adjustments are minor in the short game and major in the long run.

“We tend to hire people for what they know and fire them for who they are.” John C Maxwell

Making the effort first will minimize adjustments in the back end.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
What about the sacrifices made by taking the golden egg opportunity?

When you have had options, opportunities and obstacles laid before you and have a hard time distinguishing them your success or failure may be only one huckster away.

Listening to great storytelling with weak morals reminds me there are charlatans in every industry, vertical market, niche and yes even ministry.

They play on your dreams by complimenting your skills, and elevating your desires. They pull you along like a slingshot launches and glider plane and when they get what they want from you they jettison you to figure out how to fly or land on your own.

STORYPOWER is a superpower but character may be your kryptonite!

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
No one angle is complete. The best aim, light, white balance, color correction pre and post production will still require some tweaking if you seek near perfection.

Like video production, leadership demands a consistent revisit and perspective shift. Both also benefit from the “lens selection” of the wide angle as well or long zoom lens.

Macro, micro, fisheye all of these ways of looking at a subject change the viewpoint and the understanding and the same should be applied to leadership and communication.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
What does StoryPower or storytelling have to do with Executive Leadership? The answer lies in the metaphor. This truth is more than a linguistic playground.

I recently had a conversation about which job title better describes a client of mine. Would people better recognize CIO, CTO, or CISO as the role which best represents their skill set?

We discussed and discovered together this harsh reality. both all of them and none of them best describe the skill set acquired, the experiences accumulated nor the expertise demonstrated. Most of those job titles are crafted to encompass responsibility and accountability more than accomplishments.

Then how does one demonstrate competency outside of resume and job titles? That’s where The StoryPower Method comes in.

* How to eliminate "Word Salad" and speak with authority.
* The StoryPower Method for engineering workplace culture.
* The exact framework used to 10x fundraising results (from $31k to $300k).

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
There will be storms in your life. Career storms. Relationship Storms. Family storms. World affairs storms. Leadership storms.

“There are those who chase storms to learn from them, those who chase storms to offer rescue, help and relief, those who chase storms to make profit, like insurance and repair specialists and those who chase storms to loot and take advantage in the darkest and most vulnerable moments.

But in all of them God is ever present in a time of trouble. He knows the heart of those who show up in your storm. TRUST HIM not them to have your best interest at heart.” J Loren Norris
