402: Reclaim Control and Make Every Situation a Win-Win with Gail Rudolph

by

I’ve had the chance, recently, to welcome more and more guests on the show that have been introduced to me by previous guests. It’s a nice problem to have.

Let me take this moment to give a shoutout to Honoree Corder, our guest from just last month in Episode #399. Thanks to Honoree, I get to introduce you to the wonderful book being featured in today’s episode.

That book is called Power Up Power Down: How to Reclaim Control and Make Every Situation a Win-Win. Its author is Gail Rudolph, who can now call herself a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller.

Gail posits that, too often, power situations can feel like a “rock and a hard place” – if you’re too assertive, you’re labeled (at best) as overbearing and unapproachable. If you’re too passive, your voice, ideas, and opinions are ignored.

But by recognizing the ways to value all people (including yourself), you can make a choice to become empowered!

401: How Great Leaders Prepare, Perform, and Prevail with Jim Afremow and Phil White

by

It’s not often that I get to interview two authors in a single episode. Today’s show, though, is one of those kinds of shows. And we’re incredibly fortunate to have them both.

Jim and Phil

I’m talking about Jim Afremow and Phil White. Together, they’ve co-authored a new book called The Leader’s Mind: How Great Leaders Prepare, Perform, and Prevail.

The book taps into the same tips and techniques honed by top-tier athletes, such as how to get in a “zone,” thrive on a team, and stay humble, to become a champion at work and the ultimate team player at home.

You’ll learn about valuable leadership lessons through powerful parables and stories from well-known leaders, the actionable steps leaders must take to change their thinking and become the leader they want to be, and the necessary mindset to push through the challenges you face and take control of the direction your career and home life are taking. 

To quote the authors, “Stop struggling with the expectations you face at work and at home by fundamentally changing the way you process what’s happening in your life. The mental edge that sets elite athletes apart outlined in this book will help you become the champion leader you want to be.”

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Jim, Phil and their work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.

399: Applying Relationship Rules in Business for Ultimate Success

by

Since beginning the Read to Lead Podcast over eight years ago, I’ve had the chance to meet more than my fair share of people whose talents include helping others write and publish books (in addition to a few of their own).

One of those people is Karen Anderson, a strategic book advisor and coach, associate publisher at Morgan James Publishing, and co-author of the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller The Bezos Letters: 14 Principles to Grow Your Business Like Amazon featured right here on the podcast.

Karen recently formally introduced me to today’s guest, Honoree Corder, a name I’ve known for quite some time. I mean, when you’ve written over 50 books, it’s hard not to be on my radar.

One of those books – and the one getting our focus today – is Business Dating: Applying Relationship Rules in Business for Ultimate Success.

Honoree’s book is designed to show you exactly how the rules of personal dating apply to your professional relationships. When you take the time to foster balanced connections, Honoree says, you’ll build meaningful, long-lasting contacts that yield incredible gains. With the power of true networking on your side, you’ll attract better clients and relationships faster than you ever thought possible.
