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: PEG MOMENTS - my own nomenclature for harsh words, comments, declarations which have the potential to redirect destiny. There are positive and negative peg moments. There are intentional and careless peg moments.  They are narcissistic peg moments where reality is shifted out of spite, meanness, or heartless cruelty. There are parents who carry on tradition and speak without full understanding or recognition of the emotional consequences. I know. I did.  There are also positive, intentionally designed, well placed, encouraging pegs which help others  to grow forward. The pegs give them something firm to hold onto as they climb to greater heights.  ABOUT J. LOREN NORRIS J.

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

    6/5/2026 A LEADERS GREATEST ASSET IS THE ATTITUDE OF HUMILITY  EPISODE 1797 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 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.

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 “Measure twice and cut once!” I almost got it right. 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.
