S02E15 - Connecting “Them” and “You” with Yermi Kurkus - Recap 3
When was the last time you thought about your clients/your people?
Here are the secrets of gaining highly loyal return customers…
It’s no secret.
It’s more of a science.
When we connect deeply with others - they will respond in kind.
Think about it.
When you talk to someone - do you feel deeply connected with them, or do you think there is some form of disconnect?
Well, wouldn’t that depend on who you are talking to?
Did you ever realize how with some people you connect deeply, while with others you don’t?
With those who you do, it almost feels like it’s deep in your soul.
What causes that attraction?
That’s what this episode is all about.
We explore how to truly and deeply connect with the people we lead and serve.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show…
S02E14 - Leading From A Deep “Why” with Marc W. Halpert
How many times have we learned or heard about the importance of finding our true and deep “Why”?
Simon Sinek is well known for his phenomenal book “Start With Why”. Richard Weylman takes this topic a step further and in his phenomenal book “The Power of Why” Weylman talks about how your “Why” connects with the people you are trying to influence.
This episode we are exploring how this “why” connects with your leadership.
Marc W. Halpert is a LinkedIn expert, his specialty is in showing you how you can be “amazing-er” in how you show up. What I personally love most about his approach, is the idea of storytelling and posts that connect who you are at your core with the audience that potentially will read your content. ��The reason why it’s so important to connect with your audience on this level is because, as Marc puts it, people fall in love with your message and who you are.
That’s powerful.
Is your “Why” relatable and do the people who follow you connect with that “why”?
Let’s explore that in this week’s episode.
S02E13 - Leadership Starts From Within with Rasie Bamigbade
Just as we need to nourish our bodies and soul so that we can be healthy, the same is true in business.
We need to work on our inner-self-leadership so that we can show up as the best version and best leader in our organization.
This fact is true whether you are an organization of 1 or 1000 or hundreds of thousands. How you lead from within, is how you will show up to your team/s. Your teams will emulate you and your behavior.
This is what we are exploring in this week’s episode.
Rasie is a Self-Leadership expert who specializes in looking within first - Rasie believes that when we are honest with ourselves and look ourselves in the mirror to constantly “check in” with ourselves and ask “How am I showing up?” that is when we develop and grow to the type of leader that most people want to be influenced by.
If you are a leader that people are inspired by, what do you think that will do to your business? To your reputation? To your legacy?

S02E12 - Building A Purpose-Driven Community with Russ Hedge
A Purpose-Driven Community is what most (if not all of us) seek.

This is what we are exploring in this week’s episode. ��
Russ Hedge is a marketing expert who specializes in “Inspiration” - Russ believes that when you build a community that shares the same values and vision as your brand, this community becomes extremely loyal to you and to your brand. ��

As a leader how much impact do you have on those you lead?

S02E08 - Becoming Passionately Loyal with Shlomo Meisels
How can I inspire my employees to be passionately loyal?
This question isn’t just for employers
This is a question that anyone in business today should (or at least would benefit from) ask themselves.
Why?
Because whether we lead a team, or we are a solo-entrepreneur, we depend on people doing business with us and working with us. In a world with access to just about anyone, the competition is tough. We are no longer in a time where just because you have a certain profession that’s why I’ll do business with you. We’re in a generation that seeks the relationship and experience of working with you. ��
In this episode, Shlomo discusses and shares with us some fascinating insights on how he works with employers and talent to find something they are passionate about and how to align our dreams, ambitions, desires, needs, etc. We touched upon aligning the dreams together and working in unison to achieve a greater goal and vision. ��
