  • Small Business Owners: Are you working IN or ON your business?
    2024/10/31

    What are some of the signs that you're working IN your business instead of ON your business?

    Welcome to the Leadership Rising Podcast! Coach and Guide today, Jim Urban is bringing the community of small businesses owners, entrepreneurs and solopreneurs together for this great discussion. Jim is joined by coaches Steve Seay and Rebecca Schleifer to talk about the challenges that business owners face.

    Steve looks back to the beginning of his coaching business and reflects on the importance of working "IN" his business when he was asking himself these questions - "What am I doing now to create business? Who am I serving? How am I creating money today?"

    Listen for this moment: "It can become a spiral. It's like telling a kid, with a limitless credit card, in a candy shop - you gotta stop buying candy. Sometimes when you've worked IN your business for a long period of time, you can only sustain that level of motivation and energy for so long. And that can be an opportunity to know it is time to dream bigger."

  • How to Break the Cycle of Negativity and Start Thinking Neutral
    2024/10/17

    "Positive thinking only works part of the time, but negative thinking is working 100% of the time. It's time to break the cycle of negativity and start thinking NEUTRAL." {Trevor Moawad}

    Welcome to the Leadership Rising Podcast! Coach and Guide today, Steve Seay is opening up this discussion around Neutral Thinking. Steve is joined by coaches Jim Urban and Rebecca Schleifer to talk about the power of our thinking and how it plays a huge role in the outcomes of our daily lives.

    The idea of neutral thinking is a mindset that focuses on staying in the present moment without attaching judgements, emotions or biases to past events or future outcomes.

    Listen for this moment: "You think about the power of negativity - our thoughts and our words are so powerful. Negativity is 4 to 7 times greater than positive thinking. It's 10 times greater in our words and our language. So, like at the playground we go 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me' - that's a bunch of BULL. It's actually the opposite."

  • The 3 Laws of Performance: Holding the Power of Rewriting Our Future
    2024/10/10

    Welcome to the Leadership Rising Podcast! Coach and Guide today, Steve Seay is opening up this discussion around the Three Laws of Performance. Steve is joined by coaches Jim Urban and Rebecca Schleifer to talk about the possibilities around rewriting our future in business and in life.

    Coach Steve references the book, "The Three Laws of Performance" by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan.

    1st Law: How people perform correlates to how they perceive the situation

    2nd Law: How a situation unfolds arises in the language which gets used

    3rd Law: Future-based language transforms how situations occur to people

    Listen for this moment: "Do I happen to life or does life happen to me? We call that in psychology Internal Locus of Control or External Locus of Control. If I believe that I have agency, and capability and opportunity to do something - that creates a ton of possibilities for how the situation can be turned around. When you're talking about language - I think it's an intentional boundary for leaders. It's a point of emphasis that we use language about possibilities and about opportunities and about being right on the cusp of achieving that breakthrough."

    Our guide and coach today, Rebecca Schleifer, is pouring a nice hot cup of entrepreneurship for us! Rebecca, along with Coaches and Hosts Steve Seay and Jim Urban, is welcoming our special guest Cristine Tindall to talk about the challenges and pain points of jumping into leadership as an entrepreneur.

    Cristine is the owner of Cafe M in Savanna, Georgia - and she's a 20-year United States Army Veteran. She shares that her passion for building and maintaining teamwork is the driving force behind great customer service.

    Listen for this moment: Rebecca talks about what it takes to be a "smart leader". At times, entrepreneurs might not have the exact skillset needed to jump into a new business - but if they surround themselves with smarter people - they can fill the gaps. Jim talks about uncertainty around owning a business during COVID and the passion to pursue a certain business.

    Cristine and the team at Cafe M are giving customers a memorable experience in the heart of downtown Savannah by offering a French twist to southern hospitality.

  • Boundaries for Leaders: How healthy are your boundaries?
    2024/09/26

    Our guide and coach today, Jim Urban, is drawing a powerful line in the sand and getting us thinking about boundaries. Specifically, our coaches Jim, Rebecca and Steve are diving into an in-depth discussion about boundaries for leaders.

    When a team is feeling a lack of control or lack of ability to influence their destiny - we just might need to look at boundaries. There is power in believing that we have a say in our destiny.

    Listen for this moment: Belief is a center point of everything. Where do you see yourself a year from now? How do you see yourself - spiritually, mentally, physically and emotionally? Coach Steve Seay points out that most people are of the thought that "I won't usually take action if I don't believe in something. If I don't have hope, if I don't have a sense of agency - a sense of value or contribution - I probably won't take action."

    A leader has a TWO maybe even a THREE (x) impact on the team. How will the team reach their full potential when there is not accountability? Gain insight and powerful action steps in this episode!

  • Leading Change: Part 2 with Daniel Warren
    2024/09/19

    Hosts and Coaches Steve Seay, Jim Urban, and Rebecca Schleifer are sitting down today for Part 2 of "Leading Change" with Daniel Warren. Daniel is the Executive Pastor at Trinity Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida.

    This two-part episode is all about "Leading Change". How can we LEAD CHANGE - when your organization or company needs to undertake a cultural change, a workplace change, a wellness change? Leading change is about improving how an organization feels to work at and examining if it aligns well with its mission. The real question we are asking ourselves in these moments is: How can we optimize that?

    We left off in Part 1 with Daniel's take on "organizational change". Daniel is detailing his leadership development journey and discussing some key people in his life that have helped in those changes. Coach Jim also asks what some of the key reasons are that an organization might be considering a major change initiative.

    Daniel points out the process that he and his team often work through.

    A LEADER:

    1. Defines their current reality

    2. Dreams of that preferred future

    3. Designs the path to get there
