How do other people see you?

In a world where there’s more noise than ever before, many of us have lost our ability to communicate with empathy, says Stacey Hanke, executive mentor and author of Influence Elevated: Maximizing Your Connection Monday to Monday. In this conversation with Daniel and Peter, Stacey shares her insights about how leaders can learn–or relearn–how to connect with consistency across platforms and maximize their influence.

“Every conversation is your opportunity to practice something,” says Stacey. Whether it’s improving meetings, asking for feedback, or even watching a recorded meeting to critique their own screen presence, leaders should increase their focus on how others perceive them to maximize their influence on their teams and across their organizations.

Tune in to learn:

• Three practical tips to improve remote meetings
• Two ways for leaders to coach their team members

“We don't spend a lot of time thinking about how we breathe. We just do it,” says Jamie Flinchbaugh. “But then we find out, whether we're training for sports or meditation or other things, that there's more to learn about breathing. And when we are thoughtful about it, we can do it better, more usefully.”

Solving problems as a leader is similar to breathing, says Flinchbaugh. Leaders take it for granted that they can solve problems in the usual way. They’re often on autopilot, and they forget to think about their roles–and the roles of others around them–in solving problems, which can lead to a “cascade of errors.”

Jamie Flinchbaugh is author of the book People Solve Problems and the host of a podcast by the same name. He acts as a trusted advisor and thought partner for leaders through his firm, JFlinch. Jamie joins Daniel and Peter on this episode of The Leadership Growth Podcast to talk about how leaders solve problems, some of the mistakes they can make, and how they can improve.

Tune in to learn:

• The three roles of leaders as they solve problems
• The importance of curiosity and uncomfortable learning in problem-solving
• Why designing for optimal circumstances is a bad strategy for problem-solving
