Bold Business Podcast


Jan 31, 2017

Every email, every phone call, every meeting…every interaction you choose to have. When we are not all in, when our mind is somewhere else - the people around us know. As a society we shrug it off, but it’s a missed opportunity. It’s a missed connection. We lost a bit of credibility (not being in the meeting with them). We lost a bit of influence (we didn’t value their time). We lost a bit of relationship (they may not think they can count on us). Today’s Leaders Discuss program hosted by Jessica Dewell features Geoffrey X Lane, Keri Jaehnig, and Ande Lyons talking about How to show up.


Program 27 - Show Up, Already! Starting The Conversation…

  • Every email answered, every phone call picked up, every meeting attended… we chose.
  • How do you know when you are interacting with someone and they are not showing up?

Notable & Quotable:

Keri Jaehnig: Can you feel the vibe?

Ande Lyons: It’s a leadership role - to keep people engaged.

Geoffrey X Lane: When pressure to show up, it’s easy to go into our shell - what the other person wants us to be.

Ande Lyons: It takes a lot of inner work to show up in a way that’s meaningful.

Keri Jaehnig: It takes confidence in who we are to let people react to us.

Geoffrey X Lane: When a business only speaks to the business, the dollar becomes most important.

Jessica Dewell: I can learn a new skill by taking steps to understand how to do it - to make it second nature.

Jessica Dewell: Practicing skills amplify our innate strengths, find our suppressed skills, and add the skills we want.

Andy Lyons: We are whole as children, then life happens - and we are in repair.

Keri Jaehnig: Our society has conditioned us to STOP showing up. Every person is responsible for themselves and the results.

Keri Jaehnig: Sometimes showing up can be dangerous - from our own experiences.

Geoffrey X Lane: I decide what distractions are and prevent them so I fully show up.

Ande Lyons: Set up boundaries ahead of time.

Jessica Dewell: I use ThinkTime to do what the business needs - things that have otherwise would be set aside for lack of time that have concrete results.

Geoffrey X Lane: Know personalities - pre-business to figure out if there is a value match.

Keri Jaehnig: Sometimes ask a shocking question to get them back in the moment. Be a good steward of the conversation.

Ande Lyons: Consider the constraints, and forced to work with people that aren’t in complete alignment with. That’s ok.  We can still work together.
