Leading Leaders Podcast by StoryPowerAcademy.com Studio with Host and Exectuive Coach J Loren Norris

Do you do too much for others?  Perhaps the better question is: HOW do you do too much for others? Is it possible to do more for others than you should?  I know employees and employers are constantly asking this question without using the same words.  Employees may sound more like: When can I get a raise?  When can I get more time off? When can I get a promotion? The employer m...

WHAT MAKES YOU A LEADER? How many people actually answer to you? How can you call yourself a leader if you don’t have a bunch of people who have to do what you tell them? It’s easy to hear questions like this and begin to question yourself. I did. When I was asked about #LeadingLeadersPoadcast and how I could claim the title so to speak when I wasn’t on the top of a heap of people who were under m...

LEADERS LEARN FROM UNEXPECTED TEACHERS Everyday we learn something, or at least we should. Only when we are ready and willing to admit, we do not know everything, are we willing to submit ourselves to learn something new. There is an old phrase of ancient wisdom which states, "When the student is ready, the teacher will come." There is truth in this statement. Often times, the teacher has been aro...

What is #storypower and how does it apply to leadership, to business, to life? StoryPower is the ability to transfer ideas, emotions and activation from one person to another through the use of stories. Stories which carry real emotions and authentic elements of life have an incredible power to transform, to challenge, to inspire. When I train Superheroes to utilize StoryPower it is all about capt...

Can you lead your own brain? Can leaders truly bring transformation to the lives of those they lead? Moran Cerf is a new name in my personal awareness while I am certain some of you already know of him. I rank his understanding and application right up there with Dr Caroline Leaf, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Daniel Amen and others who study and teach true brain science. One question leaders have asked f...

Good Leaders Incentivize Good Wins by J Loren Norris Good leaders gather wins!  Good leaders look for opportunities to celebrate with their team. They mark the big wins and the little wins. As long as they are true wins.  Here’s how you can know a “win” worth celebrating.  Bad for the individual, bad for the team 0/0 Good for the individual, bad for the team - 1/2 win.  Bad for...

DOWN TIME AND UPDATES. LEADERS NEED BOTH.  Leaders who don't take the time to unplug from the world and plug into their own resources will burn out! Overwhelm, depressions, anxiety, stress related medical issues are all imminent when leaders try to burn the candle at both ends. At best you will be running on empty, not giving 100% because you are so depleted to begin with. At worst, your work...

How do you create RAVING FANS? Who are your RAVING FANS? Who should they be? These are fairly simple questions to consider and answer if you are in retail, whether brick and mortar or online. If you “sell a service” or sell a product, every transaction is a new sale and likely a new or repeat customer. Even drug dealers have established standards of quality and expectations of results. They know t...

LEADERS NEED TO LEARN CPR FOR DREAMS! How often have you met someone whose dream has died? Or maybe it’s not dead yet but seems to be on life support gasping for a breath of hope. Too many people in life are struggling to make ends meet and at the same time shelving the dream, the passion, the summation of their gifts, to make it happen. Leaders must be bold enough to dream on their own terms. Set...

IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FREEDOM AND INDEPENDENCE? I will share my own “working definitions” of freedom and independence. In a recent conversation I was told by a national influence and leader they they felt their nation had fought to gain independence but didn’t know what to do with it and as a result have paid the price of political, social and economic instability for close to 60 years. So...

WHY IS IT HARDER TO LEAD 1 THAN 100? Leading ONE might be harder than leading 100. Why is that true? When leaders are responsible for a small team Of three to five people, there is a group mentality which kicks in. If the leader is a kind and caring person, the team will become like them in many ways and the culture of kindness will begin to flourish. If the leader tends to be rude and tyrannical,...

ITS AN HONOR TO BE INVITED - but I have no illusions, just big shadows to stand in. There are experts, gurus, celebrities, household names, well known names, up & coming names and even “wanna be’s” in my space. By space I mean those who speak professionally especially in the areas of leadership and personal development. Everyday another person raises their hand and says “I want to be a public...

SOCIAL MEDIA VS SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS. Can we truly define the meaning of either of them? As we remember 9/11, I am shocked to current reality by a story of a young fan denied an autograph and all the “media attention” such a story evokes.
