Jon Berghoff on Punching Through Emotional Ceilings & The Journey from Doer to Teacher of Teachers In order for us to be good leaders, we have to tap into our emotional currency as much as we tap into our intellectual currency. How do our negative experiences in childhood and the emotions that come from them design us for our lives in leadership? How can we balance the hyper-focus between our internal selves and the outside world? On this episode, I talk with co-founder and president of the Flourishing Leadership Institute, Jon Berghoff, about overcoming childhood pain, how the seed of mentorship and coaching was planted early in his life, and the levels of leadership required to build successful organizations. Three Things We Learned How success can be a vehicle to prove ourselves Jon believes that a lot of his early success was a rebound or pendulum in response to a lot of pain in his life. A lot of the energy and motivation he had was an attempt to counter not feeling accepted, and not feeling like he was enough. What defines a good teacher Every good teacher/coach knows that the amount of wisdom in the universe is beyond what they can teach. They know that their job is to inspire the student to want to learn on their own— to instill that hunger in them. The most critical skill a leader should have As leaders, one of the most critical things we can do is to listen through the eyes and the hearts of other people. In order to do that, we must have certain emotional experiences and emotional currency. Every experience in our lives prepares us for each level, and this is especially true in leadership. As the world has become more complex, so has leadership. We may feel at times that the complexity of our world has surpassed our own capabilities, but that doesn’t mean we are useless as leaders. In those moments we need to unlock collective intuition and work on helping the people we lead to tap into their own inner wisdom and strengths. /episode/index/show/blissfulignorance/id/8817467

Rob Dial on Building a Personal Brand & Successful Business on Vulnerability 02/21/2019

Rob Dial on Building a Personal Brand & Successful Business on Vulnerability So many of us take actions and make choices to prove ourselves to other people, but the true journey of enlightenment requires us to look inward. How do we overcome the feeling of not being enough? When we build a business, why is it so important to listen to what the market wants? Why is it so critical to celebrate our wins and milestones? On this episode, I’m joined by personal development speaker and coach, Rob Dial. He shares about overcoming his childhood trauma, how it influenced who he is and the business he runs, and how he’s gotten to a billion content views. Three Things We Learned The root of not feeling like we’re enough We all have a feeling of not being enough in some way, and a lot of it comes from childhood. The average child is reprimanded 8 times more than they are praised by their parents, so they feel like they aren’t enough more often than not. If we’re searching for love from our parents and they constantly reprimand us, we’ll feel like we’re not enough. This can become a trauma, and if we don’t get past it, we’ll just remain broken children inside. How to build more relevant products A lot of entrepreneurs just build up a following and never really ask people what they want, and they just guess and fail. It’s better to grow a following, find out what people want and then figure out how you can best serve them based on what they want and then put out that product. How you can be more influential in the market place via online channels The most valuable thing to have right now is a personal brand, people connect with people, they don’t connect with brands The best way to influence sales is to go where everyone is going, and just be top of mind. Have a personal brand that’s just about you and then people will find out about the company eventually. When there are more eyes on you the person, inevitably there’ll be more eyes on your business. Many people are stuck in lives they don’t think they signed up for. One of the most important things we have to unravel is whether we’re trying to prove ourselves to others or doing things for ourselves. When we’re so focused on how other people see us, it holds us back from doing what we’re really great at and shining at what we do best. To overcome this, we have to focus on our superpowers and learn to look inward to determine our worth. When our emotional currency is greater than any physical currency in the bank, that’s when we can truly find joy. /episode/index/show/blissfulignorance/id/8728898
