In this episode, I am releasing the second part of a conversation with Kirsten Ross Vogel. Kirsten is a podcaster and She talks about the value that we bring to the table. Specifically, she will talk about feelings of not being good enough. She talks about how people pleasers are actually trying to control others, how the imposter syndrome works, and what to do if you don’t have credentials. She completely altered my understanding of people-pleasing. I was blown away by her reframing of the subject. Kirsten graciously spoke at a two day event sponsored by the Excellence in Leadership Institute.

In this episode, I am releasing a conversation with Kirsten Ross Vogel. Kirstin is a podcaster and She talks about the value that we bring to the table, how we minimize our own value, and how we should put what we have to offer out for others. She helps us recognize how we allow the fear of others’ opinions to keep us from stepping into our purpose. At the same time, it keeps us from helping others.

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX (LIKE A NAVY SEAL) [EPISODE 150] In this episode, I want to tell you a story. The story comes from Rob O’Neill’s book, The Operator.

In this episode, I again interview Jeff Carlucci. Jeff is my former colleague at StoneBridge School where I taught from 1999-2004. Jeff has been there for 24 years and he is the former Headmaster of the school. In this episode, we are going to talk about what we talked about a lot when I worked there—leading at home. During this period of my life, I was single, met my soon-to-be-wife, and I was married. Jeff was very much a mentor to me and we discussed these things while we graded papers or worked out.

Rush Limbaugh passed away a few days ago. In this episode, I use his words to explain how he rose to prominence and become the ultra-successful conservative standard bearer. Limbaugh was well-known for being a conservative firebrand, but after listening to this episode you will understand why he was successful (and it had less to do with politics than the way that he thought about himself and his audience).
