Stress
Stress = (What we seek to control) MINUS (What we can actually control)Notice where we focus our attention: is it on things that we control or not?Drama comes from focusing on what others do that upset us, rather than looking inwardConflict
Stress and conflict can create a vicious cycleInterpersonal conflict and intrapersonal still both stem from selfOther people are indeed problematic, but we don’t have as much control or influenceInfluence
We have most influence over ourselvesYou’re most likely to influence others with lion energy rather than squirrel energyChange Your Behavior
Awareness: identify what’s triggering youAcceptance: this is where you are because of your decisions, change could involve lossAssessment: what will change encompass, what’s necessary?Action: put pen to paper and make the changeAdjustment: assess and change course as neededCuriosity may be more powerful than certainty

When does storytelling matter?
PresentationsPublic speakingMeetingsInspiring others through engagement and connectionYour audience
Prepare for themWho is your audience, specifically?What’s your goal? What are their questions/concerns?What do you want to make them feel?Where do you want to lead them?Grab the audience’s attention by hooking them early
Do something unexpectedEngage their curiosityHave them do somethingTrying something new takes courage
Watch Ted Talks and strong presentersSet your own goals for storytellingBe willing to try something and take quick feedbackPractice on someone in your circleNon-linear storytelling
Just because something happened chronologically doesn’t mean that’s the only way to present itLead with an unexpected resultTease up front with the most interesting thingHave a structure, use transitions, or guidepostsYou don't have to tell every detail!Imagery in storytelling
Often we’re too formalUse action verbs instead of passive voiceThink about words that evoke emotion so the audience can relateUse analogies that people can envision=====

S3E1: Lead With Poise With Terrance Lee
Terrance Lee, AKA The Introvert Leader had always avoided taking on leadership roles in his life. At the age of 13, an experience occurred which caused him to doubt his ability to speak in front of people, and caused him to shy away from the spotlight. This worked for Terrance until he eventually had to learn leadership skills by necessity at his first engineering job out of college.
When he had been working in his first role for a short time, his mentor put in his two-week notice. Terrance then found out that he had to take his place presenting to a group of experienced engineers and pilots for a highly technical review. Despite feeling extremely nervous, the meeting that Terrance led went well; which gave him a giant confidence boost.
Since then, Terrance has taken on many leadership and management roles as an introvert at several Fortune 500 companies in the defense industry, with proven results. He utilizes his platform to empower introverts to tap into their own inner leadership potential and is never shy about sharing the tips that he has learned throughout his journey.

Poise
Joe Montana in the Super Bowl Poise enables high performance; it’s not weakness or lack of assertivenessSpeaking calmly
Be aware of emotional triggers Tone in communication matters Reduce the impact of outside influences on your presence Listen to yourself, monitor yourself, record yourselfHave patience and slow down
Thinking inwardly versus thinking out loud Don’t feel the pressure to say the first thing on your mindIntrovert leaders
Deep-thinking: strength in evaluation and on the front end Empathy: remember the people, show appreciationEnjoy deep conversations
Context does matter Sometimes a quick decision is necessary=====
