    6/5/2026 A LEADERS GREATEST ASSET IS THE ATTITUDE OF HUMILITY

Loren: https://pci.jotform.com/form/222696275293163  🎙️ Listen to the Leading Leaders Podcast: Leading Leaders Podcast by StoryPowerAcademy.com Studio with Host and Coach J Loren Norris ABOUT THIS VIDEO Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s wrong.  Attitude is what you think about how you feel and how you feel about what you think.  A leader who feels confident, strong, assertive, bold, in charge ONLY when they are right IMHO is a weak leader. They are usually,  actually deeply insecure and must be assertive to convince everyone they are right. Even when they suspect they are not.  A leader who thinks “I could be wrong and I want to know if I am,” might seem weak, submissive and malleable to the outsider. The confidence, emotional intelligence, moral foundations and long term stability are likely the trademarks of a leader who knows how to be corrected.  Both of these leadership styles will surface through the stories the leader chooses to tell. Ego and humility both hide in everyday conversations.  Learn to mine, craft and deliver stories consistent with your message, mission and vision by joining www.StoryPowerAcademy.com  In this video series , J.

Then I realized I overlooked a tiny detail. A small compromise meant a huge disappointment looming. Sure there’s a fix, a solution, a remedy for this potential problem I have created. It is also a remedy which could have been avoided with a tad more effort and a bit of an investment. Whether bookshelves or sales teams, education or recreation, information or entertainment the adjustments are minor in the short game and major in the long run. “We tend to hire people for what they know and fire them for who they are.” John C Maxwell Making the effort first will minimize adjustments in the back end.

    6/3/2026 WHAT PRICE ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY FOR GOING TO THE NEXT LEVEL EPISODE 1795 RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: 🚀 Book Your Private Story Audit with J. Loren: https://pci.jotform.com/form/222696275293163 🎙️ Listen to the Leading Leaders Podcast: Leading Leaders Podcast by StoryPowerAcademy.com Studio with Host and Coach J Loren Norris ABOUT THIS VIDEO What about the sacrifices made by taking the golden egg opportunity? When you have had options, opportunities and obstacles laid before you and have a hard time distinguishing them your success or failure may be only one huckster away. Listening to great storytelling with weak morals reminds me there are charlatans in every industry, vertical market, niche and yes even ministry. They play on your dreams by complimenting your skills, and elevating your desires. They pull you along like a slingshot launches and glider plane and when they get what they want from you they jettison you to figure out how to fly or land on your own.

    In a deeply reflective conversation, J Loren Norris and Ondrea Lynn delve into the intricate relationship between health, fitness, and trauma.

    Join J Loren Norris on Story Power TV for an inspiring conversation with award-nominated author Ondrea Lynn In a deeply reflective conversation, J Loren Norris and Ondrea Lynn delve into the intricate relationship between health, fitness, and trauma, unraveling how physicality often manifests as an escape from emotional pain. Ondrea, who began her journey as a dancer at five, shares how movement became a coping mechanism amidst personal turmoil, particularly in a volatile home environment scarred by divorce and abuse. Her evolution from viewing her body as an idol to embracing it as a vessel for strength and healing exemplifies a fundamental shift in her perspective. Listeners will resonate with her candid storytelling, as Andrea discusses her transformation from survival mode, fueled by a toxic marriage and early motherhood, to a life grounded in faith and self-worth. The discussion navigates the bondage that comes with idolizing fitness, dieting, and external validation, illustrating how obsession can overshadow genuine health. Through personal anecdotes and insights, Ondrea sheds light on the impacts of trauma, detailing her struggles with self-esteem and self-worth influenced by experiences of assault and emotional abuse. As they explore the various coping mechanisms adopted over the years, the conversation highlights a range of unhealthy patterns, including infidelity and destructive relationships, that stem from unresolved pain. Ondrea’s journey towards healing becomes a testament to redefining one’s relationship with the body—not as an object for admiration or competition, but as a sacred temple deserving of care. By the end of this episode, listeners will not only find inspiration in Ondrea’s resilience but also an invitation to reflect on their own issues relating to body image, emotional health, and spiritual growth.

Loren: https://pci.jotform.com/form/222696275293163 🎙️ Listen to the Leading Leaders Podcast: Leading Leaders Podcast by StoryPowerAcademy.com Studio with Host and Coach J Loren Norris ABOUT THIS VIDEO No one angle is complete. The best aim, light, white balance, color correction pre and post production will still require some tweaking if you seek near perfection. Like video production, leadership demands a consistent revisit and perspective shift. Both also benefit from the “lens selection” of the wide angle as well or long zoom lens. Macro, micro, fisheye all of these ways of looking at a subject change the viewpoint and the understanding and the same should be applied to leadership and communication.

    6/1/2026 What does StoryPower have to do with Executive Leadership?

    6/1/2026 What does StoryPower have to do with Executive Leadership? EPISODE 1793 RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: 🚀 Book Your Private Story Audit with J. Loren: https://pci.jotform.com/form/222696275293163  🎙️ Listen to the Leading Leaders Podcast: Leading Leaders Podcast by StoryPowerAcademy.com Studio with Host and Coach J Loren Norris ABOUT THIS VIDEO What does StoryPower or storytelling have to do with Executive Leadership? The answer lies in the metaphor. This truth is more than a linguistic playground.   I recently had a conversation about which job title better describes a client of mine. Would people better recognize CIO, CTO, or CISO as the role which best represents their skill set? We discussed and discovered together this harsh reality. Both all of them and none of them best describe the skill set acquired, the experiences accumulated nor the expertise demonstrated. Most of those job titles are crafted to encompass responsibility and accountability more than accomplishments.  Then how does one demonstrate competency outside of resume and job titles? That’s where The StoryPower Method comes in.  In this video series , J.
