Don’t let that title scare you. I am not turning this into a health series and I am not selling any supplements. A few of months ago, I decided I wanted to get rid of my “COVID 19”. Pounds that is. So I studied up on intermittent fasting and then I went to work. And not only did I find that it worked for me, I also found some overall life and leadership lessons that I think might work for you. Tweet it out: We can fast from food, or most anything else. How might you benefit from intermittent fasting from anything? Need some ideas? How about your phone, your TV, your email? @KevinEikenberry In this episode: 13 Days to Remarkable Leadership Follow the Podcast Don’t miss an episode! Follow this podcast through the options below.

As a leader, we want to have a positive and important effect on our team. Through her research, Vanessa Bohns has found we often feel ineffective, or inadequate, or believe we said the wrong words.

Key Points Vanessa discusses what we can learn from a “stain on our shirt”. Reasons why it’s hard for us to say “no” and what we need to think about when we “ask.” The role of positional power on influence. How to influence when you don’t have the power.

Persistence is good and virtuous. But it’s also hard. And telling someone to be persistent seldom goes all that well. We may know it, but don’t want to hear it – or even know what to do with the advice when we hear it. Many years ago when I was at Purdue, I was having a conversation with a friend who was in the process of interviewing for jobs after college. She was getting frustrated and when I gave her the advice to simply be persistent, I was met with the response referenced here above. She wasn’t thrilled. So then I added a simple word to my advice of persistence. And that two word phrase is something I still use today in my own life and in coaching others. Check out the video below to learn more about the power of persistence. Tweet it out: Persistence is useful, but patient persistence moves mountains. When times are hard focus on patient persistence. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Browse our archives of Remarkable TV and then sign up to receive an email each week when we release a new episode.
