In this episode, which is the 39th of David´s CALM leadership series he explains why influence is a key skill for leaders. He talks about what it is and why it is not about manipulating people. Before explaining how to become a far better influencer.
David covers how to tap into the logical part of somebody´s belief system, the rational mind, and move them emotionally. As well as how to use the fact most people naturally want to connect and collaborate to influence people and get more done.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Influence is the capacity to affect the character development or behaviour of someone or something, or to have an influence on the effect itself.You are always influencing someone.No matter what you do, where you are, your behaviour, and the words that you say, are influencing what goes on around you.It is people that get things done. Good leaders are good role models for those people.If you want to influence someone, plan, prepare and tailor your approach to them.Think about who you need to partner with to get things done.Work with the people who want to work with you, so you are not wasting energy trying to influence the wrong people.You can influence people on both a logical and emotional level.The innate desire humans have to make a connection and collaborate can also help you influence others.When selling, you are turning someone from a passive emotional state to actually wanting what you have to offer.You can still influence people who are not engaged with what you are trying to do.BEST MOMENTS
âInfluence is a key skill to learn,â
âInfluence is a bit like atmosphere, we kind of exist inside of it.â
âInfluence enables you to empower people to inspire change.â
âSo, there's logic, there's emotion, and there's connection or collaboration.â

For this episode, David is joined by Alex Abraham, the author of Trauma and Ecstasy. He is on a mission to share what he's learned about how psychedelics can help with overcoming trauma.
As a child, Alex was sexually assaulted by an authority figure which traumatised him and led to physical illness. Alex explains how psychedelics, used in a therapeutic setting, opened the door to the feelings and emotions he had been suppressing. Something that is enabling him to work through his trauma in a healing way.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Trauma can cause physical health problems as well as affect you mentally and emotionally.Psychedelics lower the barriers enabling you to fully process the thoughts and feelings you have been hiding or running from.To get a therapeutic outcome with psychedelics, you need a qualified guide. Not using one can cause more damage.Psychedelics are not the answer for anyone. For some, they will have a destabilising effect.Ultimately, self-centeredness comes from trauma.When you work through the hurt you can start letting go of the blame.BEST MOMENTS
âIt wasn't until I started working through those emotions, that the muscle tension started to get better.â
âMy hope is that by shining a light I can help trauma survivors know they are not alone.â

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Understand what the consequences of your choosing not to say what you mean are.Your body language shows people you are being dishonest, and they won´t trust you.You only have to lie to someone once for them to not trust you moving forward.It is possible to be clear, without being nasty.You need to care personally and make it obvious that you feel that way. If you don´t know how to do that, don´t worry it is a skill anyone can learn.Praising someone you don´t like, does not feel like praise to them.Build rapport, before giving feedback.Ruinous empathy means you don´t say anything when you should, which can be even more damaging than obnoxious aggression.Giving empty praise, backhanded compliments and being two-faced about someone is manipulative insincerity.BEST MOMENTS
âThis is about being clear and not nasty.â
âObnoxious aggression is where you challenge somebody directly, but you don't care personally.â
âCaring personally is a cultural thing.â
âThe returns can be huge, the time you save is massive.â

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Academic studies show that people who get deep into their purpose are the ones who feel the deepest level of satisfaction.Buying an existing profitable business, leveraging SBA financing, and selling it once the debt is cleared has the potential to be incredibly lucrative.Demographics means that there are a lot of profitable businesses up for sale, right now.There is a difference between being a business owner and an entrepreneur. Understanding that difference is important.It's an unequivocal scientific fact that we become like the people we surround ourselves with.Do not just listen to the voices in your own head when buying a business, get the opinion of at least 3 other knowledgeable business owners.Recurring or re-occurring revenue is critical.Figure out what your role will be in any business you are considering buying.Learn the business well, before making any big changes.Those who have the gold make the rules, so choose your partners carefully.BEST MOMENTS

For this episode, David is joined by Dr. Rosina Racioppi, who is the president and CEO of Women Unlimited. Rosina is on a mission to help organizations develop a culture where women have the same opportunity as men to fully realize their potential. Women Unlimited runs courses and uses mentors to help women and the organisations they work for to achieve true workplace parity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
In a tight labour market, not developing women costs organisations heavily.To achieve true gender parity, everyone in the organization must work towards that goal and do so every day.To advance their careers women need to be more intentional about how they show up and what they do.Focus on sharing how what you are doing helps the organisation.Don´t be shy, advocate for yourself.Learn to speak with more confidence and make better connections with others.Ask for feedback.Recruiters need to be aware of their own bias and be open to interviewing a few people who do not 100% fit their vision of their ideal candidate.Diversity goes far deeper than building teams based on gender or skin colour. The strongest teams include people from a range of backgrounds, educational experiences, and upbringings.BEST MOMENTS
âGrowth and comfort don´t live in the same space⌠if you want to advance, youâre going to feel a little uncomfortable for a while,â
âAdopting the curious mindset is the critical part.â
âWhen you hold people accountable, things happen.â
âMake sure that you're not just replicating the same person in a different skin.â

This is the 34th episode of David Roberts´ CALM leadership series. For this one, he continues to look at how leaders can build strong, long-lasting relationships that provide benefits for both parties.
To do this he builds on the 4-step process he shared in his previous CALM episode. Using the example of a coaching relationship he provides practical advice any leader can use to build strong connections with others. Relationships that have context, are mutually beneficial, lead to action and good outcomes.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Building rapport takes time. Build on that rapport by using good body language.The connection part of the conversation should not take more than 20% of the time you spend with someone. If it is taking longer, you need to tweak your approach.For your relationship to have context you need to ask open questions that enable you to learn more about the other person and demonstrate to them that you are genuinely interested in them.Leave sufficient time at the end of your coaching session or conversation to share the very specific calls to action.BEST MOMENTS
âYou´ve got to have rapport.â
âIf the call to action of the conclusion isn't crystal clear, then the outcomes of that coaching relationship are not going to be as strong.â
âThe call to action is for the person that you're coaching.â

Starting with getting them back in touch with who they are, so that they can live a truly fulfilling life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Once we go back to the truth of who we are, we get empowered by the version that we've been denying.Most people are living in their minds. That is not where the truth is.

Travel really does open your eyes.The content of your character is what counts because thatâs what lasts.Perspective comes from seeing through other people´s eyes.Express gratitude and stop complaining.Everyone needs a process, a ritual, for grounding.Just take one step at a time, when stepping away from your fear.Find the people that are your people.BEST MOMENTS

Today, David is joined by Jeffrey Rissman who is the Senior Director of Industry at Energy Innovation, an independent climate policy think tank. Jeff´s work has been featured in Fast Company and New Scientist. He helps the industry to navigate its way to a net zero economy.
Jeff shares examples of how companies are transitioning to clean power and production methods. As well as explaining how the right policies and s are speeding up the process.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The technology we need to transition to a clean economy exists and, in most cases, also makes economic sense.New legislation is speeding up the rate at which companies adopt clean production methods.Industrial heat pumps easily generate enough heat to carry out about a third of industrial processes e.g. cooking and packaging food.To be kind to the environment, it's important to find the most efficient and direct way to get the energy we need.A transition to a sustainable economy isn't a conservative or a liberal issue. No one benefits when pollutants are being belched into the air.Changing the way things are made has the potential to turn concrete into a product that helps to repair our climate.It makes economic sense for industrialising nations to leapfrog into green technology.Net zero sooner is better for people and the economy.BEST MOMENTS
âIndustrial facilities should be looking at energy efficiency, material efficiency, and electrification of heat.â
âIt isn't a choice between sustainability and economic benefits, you can have both.â
âIt´s not a smart investment to invest in dirty technology... leapfrogging can avoid unnecessary investment.â

This time, he is explaining how to hire, hone and retain the right team. He includes tips to help you get the balance right so that you can treat your team members well without undermining your position as their leader.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
80% of what you achieve is done with the help or collaboration of other people. You can´t achieve much without a team.If you are struggling the chances are you are trying to do it with an incomplete team.Stop automatically thinking how can I do this? Instead, think who do I need to hire to get it done?Even solopreneurs rely on other people to do things for them so that they can deliver their products or services. E.g. a marketing agency.Look at your relationships with each team member, rate how strong it is and identify how you can improve things.Produce an action plan. It will keep you accountable and make sure things improve, which is good for both of you.BEST MOMENTS
âYour team is everyone you need to make it work.â
âSomething has been missing⌠and that probably isn´t a thing. Itâs probably a who.â
âFind the gaps in the first instance, then, plug them.â
âPrioritise where you focus your efforts for relationships. â

Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
