374: Staying Engaged and Connected While Working from Anywhere with Kevin Eikenberry

by

When you listen to today’s episode, you’ll hear me reference my guest’s appearance as his first, along with how I should have had him on to talk about his last book, and “why has it taken me so long” to get around to having him on.

Kevin Eikenberry

Well, either I’m getting old or the pandemic has fried my brain (“both” is also a strong possibility) because I have indeed had this gentleman on the show before back in episode #226.

Can you say “Egg on face much, Jeff?”

Furthermore, Kevin Eikenberry doesn’t remember visiting the show before either or, more likely, chose not to risk embarrassing me by mentioning it.

At any rate, now that I’ve managed to pull both feet from my mouth, Kevin, and his co-author Wayne Turmel’s latest book is called, The Long-Distance Teammate: Stay Engaged and Connected While Working Anywhere.

The book tackles the most important issues presented by long-distance teamwork. In it, you’ll learn the mindset, skillset, and habits you need to be a successful, engaged, and valued long-distance contributor.

373: 50 Lessons for Life and Leadership with Brian Sanders

by

I’m always fond of interviewing authors who have spent time in my former profession; that being broadcaster.

This time around, and for the second week in a row, my guest is indeed a broadcaster turned author (and in this case, still a broadcaster).

His name is Brian Sanders, and if that name sounds familiar, it might be because he was first my guest exactly six months ago today, December 1, 2020, to talk about his last book Leadership Endurance.

His new book, out now, is called Be Like Dad: 50 Lessons for Life & Leadership. Brian’s passion for leadership has led him to pursue deep-dive research into some of the greatest leaders of all time, including his own Dad.

372: How to Talk to Yourself the Way God Talks to You with John Stange

by

First, I have to say a big “Thank you!” to Vincent Pugliese without whom I might not know today’s guest existed.

john stange

His name is John Stange, and he pastors a church in Pennsylvania. John has written a book on one of my favorite topics: Mindset.

However, John tackles this topic from a perspective I don’t often see in the non-fiction world: a biblical one. That fascinated me, hence the reason I’m presenting him and his book to you today.

There’s no need to remain stuck thinking unhelpful thoughts, John says. In his book, you can learn how to can fill your mind with encouraging, life-enriching truths through a gospel-saturated, 31-day challenge that can help you replace a destructive mindset with a positive, empowering, and godly one.

Change your life by changing the messages that enter your mind!

370: The Unconventional Path to Breakthrough Ideas with Cyril Bouquet

by

How do people come up with truly original ideas? The answer is to think outside the box – way outside the box.

And I’ve got a book that will aid you tremendously in doing exactly that. It’s called A.L.I.E.N. Thinking: The Unconventional Path to Breakthrough Ideas, and it’s written by Cyril Bouquet, Jean-Louis Barsoux, and Michael Wade.

They’ve studied inventors, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and artists. These folks, or “aliens,” are able to make leaps of creativity, and use five patterns of thinking that distinguish them from the rest of us.
 
These five patterns—Attention, Levitation, Imagination, Experimentation, and Navigation—lead to a fresh and flexible approach to problem-solving.

Alien thinkers know how to free the imagination so it can detect hard-to-observe patterns.

They practice deliberate ways to retreat from the world in order to see the big picture underlying a problem. And they approach ideas in systematic ways that reflect the constraints of reality.
 
Together, Cyril, Jean-Louis, and Michael will show you how you can use this method to develop out-of-this-world ideas. I believe their book can help anyone find innovative solutions to the most difficult problems.
