LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES - BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN YOUR TEAM
April 17, 2024 14:07 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBLEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES - BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN YOUR TEAM “IMHO - As well as my 35 plus years of leadership in varying capacities there is one tool for leadership development which goes largely under utilized. When deployed, this tool raises morale, inspires action, motivates teams and incentivizes productive attitudes leading to productive behaviors. If you want to know what this one tool is… watch the video.” Watch the video 4-17-24: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-lo...
LEADERS MUST GUARD THEIR WORDS AS DILIGENTLY AS THEIR INNER CIRCLE
April 16, 2024 14:07 - 24 minutes - 22.3 MBLEADERS MUST GUARD THEIR WORDS AS DILIGENTLY AS THEIR INNER CIRCLE “The value of a re-quotable quote is exponential in the economy of marketing. Quotes, sound bites, memorable ideas are like social media memes, easy to recall, recount and regurgitate. The more a leader is quoted, the more social clout they may garner. The more social clout, the greater the influence (as measure by attention and volume). However, the crowd will have one of three reactions to your crafty quotes and sound bite...

LEADERSHIP, THE ECLIPSE AND OTHER TYRANNICAL DISTRACTIONS
April 08, 2024 14:50 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MBLEADERSHIP, THE ECLIPSE AND OTHER TYRANNICAL DISTRACTIONS “I don’t want for a single moment to underestimate the magnitude of the ‘once in a lifetime’ event known as a total solar eclipse. Nor do I want to make light of a personal tragedy, an economically life changing event, or a global crisis such as wars and famines. However, these are generally speaking everyday events which demand attention they do not warrant. Let me say it another way - a tyranny of the urgent, panic porn, a slow new...
A LEADERS VALUE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PROBLEMS THEY SOLVE
April 05, 2024 13:57 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBA LEADERS VALUE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE PROBLEMS THEY SOLVE “Regardless the salary offered, the size of the team, the annual revenues, the value of an executive leader is found in their skill level at solving problems. From Lea Iacocca to Jack Welch, from JFK to Ronald Regan some of the greatest leaders in history have a reputation based on the challenges presented to them as they took the helm in contrast to their ability to solve them. The same is true of your leadership role, capacity...
LEADERSHIP DEMANDS THE FACTS BE RESEARCHED, DETERMINED, CONSIDERED AND APPLIED
April 04, 2024 13:40 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MBLEADERSHIP DEMANDS THE FACTS BE RESEARCHED, DETERMINED, CONSIDERED AND APPLIED “Facts and issues are not the same. Facts and emotions are not the same. Facts and opinions are not the same. Facts are not friendly, biased or selective. Facts are often misused, disguised, hidden, misrepresented and even lied about. Facts are sometimes hard to discover and hard to come to terms. However, leaders are required to do diligent research and honest evaluation of the data and then apply the results ev...
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT BEGINS AND ENDS WITH WHO
April 03, 2024 13:56 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBLEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT BEGINS AND ENDS WITH WHO “Build a better mousetrap used to be the core belief of capitalism and entrepreneurship. In more recent years, Speed to market became the mantra. Not just is it better, but will it be available sooner? Next came the digital age, marketing and promotion changed in nature, cost and efficiency. Then the Information Age, when knowledge became the hottest commodity. Now we find ourselves facing the virtual world of virtual real estate, digital curr...
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - SEASONS OF CHANGE CHALLENGE CHARACTER
April 01, 2024 13:49 - 22 minutes - 20.5 MBLEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT - SEASONS OF CHANGE CHALLENGE CHARACTER “Few things pull on the fibers of a leaders character than change which lies outside their control. Economic change, global political change, personal changes we did not choose are all contending for energy, attention, focus and finances. Strong leaders will return to their core values in these times to find their grounding and consistency on solid ground. Weak leaders who mostly go with the flow will feel like a rubber dingy i...

March 20, 2024 15:29 - 27 minutes - 25.5 MBSTORYPOWER COACHING - LIVE IN STUDIO WITH AMY VARLEY “Stories are for business, for sales, for personal growth, for leadership development and for public speaking. The need for multiple stories on every topic on speaks on is undeniable. The skill set needed to identify and curate stories is invaluable. In this episode we will discuss and demonstrate that story mining and story crafting process.” Watch the video 3-20-24: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norris/episodes/STORYP...
BALANCE TEACHING WITH STORY WHEN DEPLOYING STORYPOWER AS A TEACHING TOOL
March 19, 2024 13:03 - 25 minutes - 22.9 MBBALANCE TEACHING WITH STORY WHEN DEPLOYING STORYPOWER AS A TEACHING TOOL “The desire to convey information, shape ideas, transform the quality of another’s life and circumstance generally drive the compunction to take the mic, ascend the platform, write the book or stand in front of the camera. Simply said, speakers speaker, writers write to convey life changing ideas. Stories are the best carries of those ideas IMHO. There must be a balance between the teaching part of transferring knowled...
STORYPOWER COACHING - I CAN TELL YOUR STORY EXERCISE FROM WAY BACK WHEN
March 13, 2024 13:20 - 23 minutes - 21.6 MBSTORYPOWER COACHING - I CAN TELL YOUR STORY EXERCISE FROM WAY BACK WHEN “The practice of StoryPower storytelling is formulaic. Once the principles are established the process is duplicatable. Telling someone else’s story back for them is possible because their formula is consistent and what changes are the elements of each persons history or experience. Watch this clip to see the StoryPower formula in action.” Watch the video 3-12-24: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/j-loren-norri...
STORYPOWER REQUIRES EFFECTIVE PRACTICE TO MASTER THE ART FORM
March 12, 2024 13:06 - 24 minutes - 22.1 MBSTORYPOWER REQUIRES EFFECTIVE PRACTICE TO MASTER THE ART FORM “Practice does not make perfect, but it will make permanent. If a speaker, leader, trainer picks up bad habits in their communication style the odds are these habits will stick with them for a while. Practicing the dexterity of vocabulary, enunciation and intonation are critical skills for effective communication. Adding pauses, emotional reflection, and proper pacing in a story bring it to life in a way that narrating the same ...
PRACTICING STORIES YOU HAVE LIVED THROUGH SEEMS REDUNDANT - IT IS ESSENTIAL
March 08, 2024 14:06 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBPRACTICING STORIES YOU HAVE LIVED THROUGH SEEMS REDUNDANT - IT IS ESSENTIAL “It might seem silly to rehearse telling a story you lived through. However, it is far too easy to ad lib when you feel confident no one knows the story like you do. I recently heard a speech where the speech giver quoted some very specific stats and then repeated them later in the speech differently, then said, ‘look it up.’ Even when the details are not publicly verifiable data, there is still a chance you will te...
TELL A STORY - MAKE A POINT - CALL THEM TO ACTION
March 07, 2024 14:30 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBTELL A STORY - MAKE A POINT - CALL THEM TO ACTION “As a leader, communicator or influencer the expectation of the audience is for you to have a new idea, a new direction and a new strategy. Speakers who tell a story and make no point only confuse the audience regardless how entertaining the story is, unless they are comedians, even then a punchline is a point of sorts. The best leaders and communicators bring more than a point, they bring a new strategy. When the story delivers the message ...

March 06, 2024 14:14 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MBSTORYPOWER COACHING WITH KRISTINA KNOWLES (SPMC 2020) “The heart of a story can get lost in the details. The ability for the communicator to get the point across, to connect emotionally, to identify the problem and present an effective solution in as free words as possible is a skill set which demands much discipline. There are techniques and tools for storytelling which make this possible. Making time and energy to study, practice and apply them is the work of the storyteller.” Watch the...
STORY MINING: OH THE STORIES WE TELL WHICH SHOULD BE KEPT INSIDE
March 05, 2024 15:09 - 25 minutes - 23.4 MBSTORY MINING: OH THE STORIES WE TELL WHICH SHOULD BE KEPT INSIDE “So many lessons to learn in life. So many instances of laughter, sadness, revelation, discovery and contemplation with stories worthy of sharing. Many people I coach have a gift of gab, but not the gift of shut up, listen and converse, just gab. They are good with starting a story, filling it with useless details, occupying a load of emotional space and filling time with word salads, but having a genuine conversation seems ov...

THREE E’S OF CREDIBILITY WHEN SELECTING THE STORIES YOU TELL
February 26, 2024 15:26 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBTHREE E’S OF CREDIBILITY WHEN SELECTING THE STORIES YOU TELL “I am confident you have heard someone deliver a story, anecdote or joke you had heard previously. I am also confident you have heard the same story told better, delivered more passionately, conveyed with exquisite comedic timing or emotional dramatic effect. Those aspects are hard to compete with when so many people have told the same story. When you have the 3 E’s your story will not have to compete in these areas. When you hav...
STORYPOWER - A JOURNEY FROM CLIMAX TO CONCLUSION
February 16, 2024 14:04 - 29 minutes - 26.8 MBSTORYPOWER - A JOURNEY FROM CLIMAX TO CONCLUSION “Many people who use stories in their keynote, webinar or teaching employ the story or deploy the story as a mechanism of time filler or solely for entertainment. There is nothing wrong with that strategy per se. However, a story which serves as a connecting tool will likely serve as an illustration, an anecdote, a metaphor or an allegory. When this is the case, the communicator must have an idea where they are leading the audience before the...
WHERE TO BEGIN WHEN TELLING A STORY FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT
February 15, 2024 15:03 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBWHERE TO BEGIN WHEN TELLING A STORY FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT “The most frustrating aspect of listening to someone else’s story has to be trying to follow a timeline or course of events with which you are not familiar. Communicators who back up, start over or circle back too many times can be as confusing as those who start ‘too early’ in the story and fill time with irrelevant details. There is a ‘best place to begin’ and we will discuss it in this episode.” Watch the video 2-15-24: FREE STORY...

February 14, 2024 14:58 - 29 minutes - 27.1 MBSTORYPOWER COACHING FROM SPMC 2021 SHAUNA BOYD - ITS ALL IN THE DETAILS “We talked about word pictures and how they can become a trigger. We talked about painting an emotional scene. We talked about bringing the audience into a moment or incident they can see themselves in as well. There is a fine balance between too much and too little detail in a story. The amount of time allowed for telling or relating a story has a direct bearing on how much or how little detail to include. The impact o...
WORD CHOICE IN STORIES REVEAL YOUR ATTITUDE AND WORLDVIEW LIKE IT OR NOT
February 13, 2024 15:37 - 26 minutes - 24.3 MBWORD CHOICE IN STORIES REVEAL YOUR ATTITUDE AND WORLDVIEW LIKE IT OR NOT “You might have noticed the moment in a conversation which a the other person chose to use a word or phrase you were not familiar with. Perhaps you asked them to back up and explain or define the word, perhaps you ignored the word while trying to place it through remaining context, perhaps you simply pretended to know the meaning of the word. Often people will hear a word and immediately play a subconscious game of wor...
PRACTICE NEVER MAKES PERFECT - SOMETIMES IT MAKES PROGRESS - IT ALWAYS MAKES PERMANENT
February 12, 2024 15:15 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBPRACTICE NEVER MAKES PERFECT - SOMETIMES IT MAKES PROGRESS - IT ALWAYS MAKES PERMANENT “I am unaware of the origin of the axiom ‘practice make perfect’ however sufficient evidence has been considered to declare in my life it is simply not true. Repeated action does not improve performance if the repeated action is flawed to begin with and no correction is added. Progress can be made when correction is considered then applied but this requires discipline and coach-ability. What has proven tr...
TRUST IS DESTROYED WHEN YOUR WORD PICTURE BECOMES A TRIGGER
February 09, 2024 14:23 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MBTRUST IS DESTROYED WHEN YOUR WORD PICTURE BECOMES A TRIGGER “It is truly amazing to observe a communicator who is convinced the power of their story will reach to the depths of the psyche of every listener in the exact same way. Some people receive and process information more rapidly. Others apply outside knowledge or information to comprehend a matter rather than their own experiences. Yet others still can only seem to process the world of new information through the lens of their own pas...
THERE IS A SINGULAR PHRASE RATTLING AROUND IN YOUR IDEAL CUSTOMERS HEAD - IT MUST BE IN YOUR STORY TOO
February 08, 2024 14:41 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBTHERE IS A SINGULAR PHRASE RATTLING AROUND IN YOUR IDEAL CUSTOMERS HEAD - IT MUST BE IN YOUR STORY TOO “Often the experiences which try to break us are also the ones in which we share the most common ground with others. A similar journey leads to similar emotional experiences. These experiences create a common expressions, common phrases, common reactions. When this phrase is uttered, the emotional connection floods back to memory. A speaker, leader, or coach who shares this phrase and iden...
A WELL TOLD STORY REQUIRES AN INVESTMENT FROM STORYTELLER AND LISTENER
February 01, 2024 14:58 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBA WELL TOLD STORY REQUIRES AN INVESTMENT FROM STORYTELLER AND LISTENER “Whether in business, family relationship or social gathering, the telling of stories always seeks a result. Perhaps the ask is as simple a transaction a laugh, a dance, an agreement or as complicated as a complete redirection of life. Perhaps the ask is on the magnitude of a financial commitment, a political shift or world peace. Either way a well selected and well told story demands something of both sides. StoryPower ...

January 30, 2024 14:39 - 27 minutes - 24.9 MBLEARN HOW LEADERS USE STORYPOWER TO BECOME GREATER INFLUENCERS “Stories are used in many ways and many forms of communication. The depth to which leaders lead is directly related to the magnitude of their influence. The magnitude of their influence is directly tied to the ability for their stories to be accepted, received, related to, recalled and retold. The better the story, the better chance these things hold true. If you want to grow your leadership, grow your influence. If you want to ...
WELL TOLD STORIES ARE THE GREATEST TOOLS FOR LASTING IMPACT
January 29, 2024 14:44 - 28 minutes - 26.2 MBWELL TOLD STORIES ARE THE GREATEST TOOLS FOR LASTING IMPACT “There will always be details within a story which carry the emotional weight of long term memory. When a properly selected story is told well, that story has the power of stickiness. It becomes a story made to travel. Understanding some of the aspects of human relationships which carry the greatest triggers for memory and emotional anchoring, should be one of the most important side jobs of any communication expert.” Watch the vi...
STORYPOWER IS BEST VIEWED THROUGH AN AVATAR WINDOW
January 26, 2024 15:35 - 28 minutes - 26 MBSTORYPOWER IS BEST VIEWED THROUGH AN AVATAR WINDOW “Telling stories for the point of connecting with an audience requires at minimum a concern and compassion for who is in the audience. Speakers, trainers, storytellers who come only with the story as they lived it, only through the lens of their own perspective do a disservice to the well being of the audience. Not to mention the risk of offending and thereby alienating the people with whom they to desire. Watch the video to understand what...
SET THE SCENE OF THE STORY IN A WAY PEOPLE RECALL HAVING BEEN THERE
January 25, 2024 15:42 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBSET THE SCENE OF THE STORY IN A WAY PEOPLE RECALL HAVING BEEN THERE “Setting the scene is not the same a s painting a word picture but it is very, very close. Take the time to create a space people can recall either from their own past, or at least in their imagination for the length of your story. In theater they call it staging and blocking. Because body language, character positioning and interactions all say more than the words the characters are speaking it is an efficient use of your ...

January 24, 2024 14:44 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MBSTORYPOWER COACHING DEMONSTRATION - FROM ROCK THE STAGE 2022 “Using a story which seems unrelated to connect buyers with sellers is an art form. It doesn’t always happen on the first try. Sometime the story must be reconsidered. Sometimes the redrafted story is powerful at connecting, but not true to the moment nor authentic to the storyteller. This coaching demonstration was live at an event with no previous knowledge or relationship between myself and the participant. The retold story has...
“The moment your story abandons the audience, the audience abandons your story.” REPLAY
January 23, 2024 15:58 - 23 minutes - 21.8 MB“The moment your story abandons the audience, the audience abandons your story. It is far too easy to tell a story which looks and sounds real but isn’t. It is also very easy to tell a story which includes all the usual cast of characters in our life but none of the people in the present audience. If your daily circle of friends does not resemble your ideal client base, there will be a priorities gap. Take the time to consider the people, places and things your audience is most likely to rel...

January 16, 2024 15:25 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBCHARACTERS IN YOUR ORIGINAL AND AUTHENTIC STORY MUST LOOK LIKE THE AUDIENCE YOU SERVE “Your target audience, your ideal client, the people in the chairs you are speaking to must be able to relate and resonate with the people in the story you’re telling. If your story, the one you have selected to tell to make this point, does not include people who look like them, shares their world view, honors their values, you may have their attention, but not their buy in. This look alike expectation is...
IT’S YOUR STORY BUT ITS NOT ABOUT YOU IF YOU TELL IT RIGHT
January 12, 2024 14:51 - 25 minutes - 22.9 MBIT’S YOUR STORY BUT ITS NOT ABOUT YOU IF YOU TELL IT RIGHT “If you have ever been in the audience when a masterful communicator uses a well selected and well crafted story, you feel like they have been reading your mail. They seem to have been spying on the secret events and emotions of your life because the story sounds like they are recounting your personal experience. The human experience is not so unique as it turns out. The value buried in the experience is the lesson learned through t...

STORYPOWER IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO ACQUIRE THE EXPENSIVE COMMODITY IN BUSINESS
January 10, 2024 15:21 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MBSTORYPOWER IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO ACQUIRE THE EXPENSIVE COMMODITY IN BUSINESS “This truth is undeniable, unavoidable and indispensable. If you are in business of any sort, ministry of any sort, government of any sort and no one knows who you are, you’re more likely to close up shop than to grow. The most expensive commodity in business is not raw materials and it is not Human Resources. The most valuable and most expensive commodity in business is attention. Without which there is no...
AUTHENTICITY IS A CHARACTER TRAIT NOT A PLOT LINE
January 09, 2024 15:11 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBAUTHENTICITY IS A CHARACTER TRAIT NOT A PLOT LINE “As a reader of stories, a watcher of stories, a hearer of stories you know for the most part what is made up and what is factual. You also know, if you have a shred of dignity, a whisper of integrity, a modicum of morality when you are practicing deceit in your own stories. Believe me when I say, our world is filled with more than enough manipulative storytelling, propagandizing, and misleading information. What we need more of is leaders w...
THE PURPOSE AND POWER OF AN ORIGINAL STORY
January 08, 2024 16:34 - 26 minutes - 24.5 MBTHE PURPOSE AND POWER OF AN ORIGINAL STORY “We have all witnessed the person living vicariously through another. Usually its a parent who’s athletic career ended too soon, they have out lived the glory days and need the attention again or they just never measured up to the talent and skill of their kids. Sometimes this vicarious nature comes in leadership by association. A person doesn’t really have the power, knowledge, skills, training but they are close friends with someone who does. Ra...

December 13, 2023 15:02 - 7 minutes - 7.1 MBLEAD AFRAID - WHEN FEAR IS ALL YOU HAVE YOU STILL HAVE TO LEAD “New seasons of life and leadership often bring with them great fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, fear of missing out when allowed to dominate your thoughts will prevent you from pressing forward into a brilliant future. If your future can be stolen by fear, or even delayed by fear, you may never experience the most powerful opportunity of your life. When fear comes, take it as a sign you’re moving in the right direct...
THE BEST LEADERS LEAD IN THE DARK
December 12, 2023 14:35 - 22 minutes - 20.6 MBTHE BEST LEADERS LEAD IN THE DARK “Before the sun is up, do the road work. Early risers get ahead start on the day so they can lead the day. When you can’t see what’s next, keep leading. When something is hidden from you like gifts before Christmas, keep leading. When the best ideas seem elusive to your best efforts, keep leading. What you learn in the light, take it into the dark with you. What you learn in the dark will change what you know in the light, keep leading.” J Loren Norris WAT...

December 11, 2023 14:44 - 8 minutes - 7.82 MBPRACTICE THE POWER OF POIGNANT BREVITY “Time is short and quickly evaporating. The hope of communication is to share your ideas in a way which carries them forward in the emotion and imagination of others. In order for a leader to influence, their ideas must be palatable, worthy of repeating and capable of producing transformation at an individual, societal and cultural level. If the message take too long to be delivered the attention span, the speed of life and the value of time are obstac...
IF YOUR TEAM IS A MESS, TRY THANKING THEM
December 08, 2023 14:51 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBIF YOUR TEAM IS A MESS, TRY THANKING THEM “Most leaders can find trouble where none exists. Leaders can predict and pre-ject the behavior of team mates with great regularity and horrible accuracy. Humans tend to find what they’re looking for in all circumstances, relationships and opportunities. The person who seeks a growth opportunity will find one. The person who seeks rejection by others will find it. The person who seeks a compliment will find one, it may not be genuine, but they know ...

December 07, 2023 15:28 - 23 minutes - 21.4 MBSTUNTS AND ACTIONS FOR SAKE OF ATTENTION ARE NOT LEADERSHIP EVEN IF THEY ARE INFLUENCE “I am a consistent evangelist for the notion ‘Leadership is influence, nothing more nothing less.’ John Maxwell. I am also a firm supporter of the idea that attention getting is not always branding. Some balance must be struck between marketing and seeking attention for attention sake. Trevor Jacob is going to pay a heavy marketing price for attention seeking. WIIFM is a truth of human psychology, especia...

December 06, 2023 13:54 - 24 minutes - 22.7 MBWHO GIVES YOU ADVICE LEADER? COACH, MENTOR OR TORMENTOR? “The value of unsolicited advice is generally equal to the cost on the invoice. Solicited advice will often cost you more than the invoice indicates. The most expensive advice is never sought, never received, never accepted and never applied. The lack of advice creates pricey learning opportunities. These moments can be the end of your business, your career or your freedom. Seeking advice is wise. Wisdom is also required to determine ...
ONE LEADER’S FRUSTRATION IS ANOTHER’S GENIUS
December 05, 2023 14:24 - 23 minutes - 21.1 MBONE LEADER’S FRUSTRATION IS ANOTHER’S GENIUS “The ability to admit weakness is largely underestimated in the world of leadership. It is however a critical component of a leader’s success and therefore a team’s success. A leader who attempts to manage every area of a project, every task, every role, every assignment and get all the work done single handedly is a leader who will burn out quickly. They will get nothing done with excellence. A leader who recognizes their own genius and frustra...
