00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Paul Fellavaledo.

5
00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, and welcome to the seven Minute Leadership Podcast.

6
00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:29.359
<v Speaker 2>It's episode four ninety seven. I developed this podcast in

7
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 2>a very intentional way, based off my seven minute leadership philosophy.

8
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:36.840
<v Speaker 2>From the very beginning, I knew I didn't want to

9
00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>create a thirty minute content series, and I certainly didn't

10
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>want to compete with those sixty or ninety minute long

11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>episodes that you find out there. Why Because leaders are busy.

12
00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Your schedule is already jammed with meetings, deadlines, and the

13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 2>unexpected fires that always pop up. The last thing you

14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>need is me talking in your ear for half an hour.

15
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 2>So I built this podcast my way. The seven minute

16
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:09.439
<v Speaker 2>Leadership Podcast was designed to be someone's coffee break or

17
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.359
<v Speaker 2>cigarette break, or maybe it's what you listen to while

18
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 2>you're driving to work. Seven minutes or less, that's all

19
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I need. Seven minutes of powerful leadership lessons that you

20
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>can take and immediately apply to your day. Think about

21
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 2>it for a second. If you take a coffee break,

22
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't need someone to give you a full course meal.

23
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.719
<v Speaker 2>You just need a quick jolt of energy, something small

24
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>that refreshes you and gets you moving again. Leadership lessons

25
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.879
<v Speaker 2>should be the same. I want this podcast to give

26
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>you that jolt, a spark, something that makes you say

27
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 2>I needed that today. And when you think about it,

28
00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>some of the most powerful leadership lessons in history weren't

29
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>given in long speeches. They were short, they were clear,

30
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>they were direct. Lincoln's Gettysburg address barely two minutes long.

31
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.879
<v Speaker 2>Mlk's I Have a Dream wasn't an all day seminar.

32
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 2>These were concise, sharp, and unforgettable. And that's the exact

33
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.039
<v Speaker 2>philosophy behind this show. I don't want you to sit

34
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:24.039
<v Speaker 2>through bs filler or all the corporate buzzwords. I want

35
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>you to get the leadership truth, raw and real in

36
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.439
<v Speaker 2>a way that you can digest quickly and carry with

37
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you the rest of your day. So now, let's take

38
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 2>this lesson and apply it to you as a leader,

39
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>because it's not just about how I built this podcast,

40
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:45.680
<v Speaker 2>it's also about how you should think about your leadership communication.

41
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>We as leaders sometimes talk too much, Meetings go on

42
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.400
<v Speaker 2>longer than they should, presentations drag emails turn into novels,

43
00:02:56.439 --> 00:03:01.639
<v Speaker 2>and what happens The message gets lost, people stop listening.

44
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.319
<v Speaker 2>But when you cut it down, when you get rid

45
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.599
<v Speaker 2>of the noise and get straight to the point, people remember,

46
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>they lean in, they walk away with the message still

47
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 2>ringing in their head. So my challenge to you today

48
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>is this, look at the way that you communicate with

49
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>your team. Are you over explaining? Are you holding meetings

50
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>that could be done in half the time? Are your

51
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>messages buried in paragraphs when they could be captured in

52
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 2>a single sentence. Leadership communication should be like this podcast, short,

53
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>sharp and effective, seven minutes or less. Say what you

54
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 2>need to say, make sure it hits, and then move on.

55
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.520
<v Speaker 2>So here's the truth. The greatest impact isn't in how

56
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:58.479
<v Speaker 2>long you talk, it's in how clearly you communicate. So

57
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>the next time you go into a meeting, or write

58
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>an email or prepare a speech, ask yourself, how can

59
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 2>I say this in half the time? How can I

60
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.280
<v Speaker 2>cut out the noise and still get the message across.

61
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.719
<v Speaker 2>That's the mark of a great leader. Just seven minutes

62
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.560
<v Speaker 2>or less. That's my belief, and that's all it takes.

63
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 2>This has been the seven minute Leadership Podcast, and I

64
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 2>thank you for listening.
