Let Your INNER GENIUS OUT with Pat Lencioni
META PERFORMANCE SHOW | On this episode of the Meta Performance Show, Jason Jaggard is joined by Founder and President of the Table Group, Patrick Lencioni. Patrick is in the business of building better leaders. In 1997, he helped found the Table Group as a consulting firm for small Bay Area companies to improve their organizational leadership. Today, Patrick and the Table Group are leading a movement to make strong organizational health a reality in companies everywhere. Through his work, Patrick is the bestselling author of 13 books including his newest “The 6 Types of Working Genius”, which have sold more than 8 million copies and have been translated into more than 30 languages. The Wall Street Journal has once called him one of “the most in-demand speakers in America” - he has addressed millions around the world at Leadership and Development events, and hosts the Podcast “At The Table”, where he sits across the table from some of the foremost experts in leadership and business. In their conversation, they discuss the early days of the Table Group and how Pat turned Steve Jobs down to work at Pixar so he could instead start his own venture. Later on, Pat walks us through his 6 Types of Working Genius as outlined by the term WIDGET in his newest book. There's a great assessment to learn which letters you are, we highly recommend it for you and your partners at work… or your partner at home. We also dig into Jason’s favorite book of Patrick’s, “The Motive”, which talks about how to deal with the drift in and out of a reward-centered leadership mindset, and the five behaviors you need to change to level-up your leadership. If you’re interested in taking the assessment to find what your types of Working Genius are, you can find it here. Be sure to check out all of Patrick’s written work on Leadership, especially the two we discussed today, “The 6 Types of Working Genius” and “The Motive”.

From Garage to $1.2 BILLION Business with Jamie Kern Lima
META PERFORMANCE SHOW | On this episode of the Meta Performance Show, Jason Jaggard welcomes New York Times Bestselling Author Jamie Kern Lima to discuss her newest book, WORTHY. Jamie’s story is so amazing, it’s almost unbelievable. She started a cosmetics company, It Cosmetics, in her garage and went on to sell it to L’Oréal for over $1.2 billion dollars. And at the peak of having it all, she found herself wondering, “is this it?” That started her on a journey from self-confidence to exploring self-worth and its ability to take you places nothing else can. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, felt like you don’t have what it takes... or that who you truly are isn’t enough, even if you’re really good at hiding it from the world, WORTHY is for you. In today’s conversation, we discuss why she decided to donate all author profits from the sales of this book to charity, the difference between self-confidence and self-worth, how to change your relationship with failure and rejection, and why building unshakable self-worth raises the proverbial ceiling in every aspect in your life. We also tease that a certain host of this podcast is featured in the book - after you read it we want you to tell us where you found me. I always get so much energy from speaking with Jamie, and her energy for WORTHY is very apparent as we talk about this essential book. Be sure to pick up WORTHY wherever books are sold!
