(2)

So, Here's My Story ... arose out of a burning hatred of bullet point blogs, canned solutions and business conversations that only include the highlight reel. We're not interested in stories where people move from triumph to triumph, because real life doesn't work that way and even if it did.... Business sure as hell doesn't. Business has depth. Business can't be told in bullet points. Business is stories.... and we want to hear them.

Many of us have weird hangups about ending or quitting things. But quitting is an art. Ending things is an art. And an ending has the potential to shape how you the world sees the beginning and the middle, too. So why don’t we spend more time talking about ending things well?

Lucky for you, in this episode, we do just that.

Meeting hijackers: maybe they tell long-winded, off-topic stories, or hold the room hostage as they give an answer to a question no one asked. Whatever the case, as a leader, you need to know how to handle the situation.

Have you ever found yourself saying “I’m going to regret this”, but doing it anyway? Let’s talk self-sabotage and the frustrating world of PREgrets.

Listen here.

When you see a behavior you don’t like – barking at the door, for instance – you may have better luck stopping it by introducing a new replacement behavior – fetching pillows - than by focusing on the barking. It can be much more effective to train a dog to do something instead of training them not to do something.

And it just might be the same for those of us on two legs.

But it is important to not step over the part where the dogs had training. “Do this instead” works best when the “instead” is clearly communicated and sufficient or necessary training occurs...

Be aware that in every interaction you have, you are training people how best to interact with you and how to get what they want from you.

If you respond to an email immediately, for instance, you are teaching someone that that is a fast and efficient way to get what they need from you. When you notice that subconscious training is happening all of the time, you can direct it to encourage the behavior you want more of.

But beware – the conversation is important. Though often people can figure out things on their own through reinforcement “training”, you may need a Care and Feeding conversation to make the behavior stick. And before you do that, you need to recognize not only what isn’t working, but what behavior you would like instead.

That frustration, of seeing what you don’t want, and turning it into an opportunity (what you do want), is what being an entrepreneur is about. If you act like an internal entrepreneur in your own company, you can look for the frustrations and find an opportunity to change things for the better.

What are your thoughts on Episode 196???
