Fear is one of those visceral emotions that makes us do all sorts of strange things. Wars, crimes, and catastrophes have all been the result of someone's fear.  Join Randy and Jim, as well as our special guest Gary Noesner, as we discuss the impact of fear in leadership 
Gary Noesner retired from the FBI in 2003 following a 30 year career as an investigator, instructor, and negotiator.   A significant focus of his career was directed toward investigating Middle East hijackings in which American citizens were victimized.   In addition, he was an FBI hostage negotiator for 23 years of his career, retiring as the Chief of the FBI’s Crisis Negotiation Unit, Critical Incident Response Group, the first person to hold that position. In that capacity he was heavily involved in numerous crisis incidents covering prison riots, right-wing militia standoffs, religious zealot sieges, terrorist embassy takeovers, airplane hijackings, and over 120 overseas kidnapping cases involving American citizens.

Don't be afraid!  Listen to the podcast! 

Randy and Jim discuss the intricacies of leading through times of dynamic change and how to create momentum for change efforts.  Also, we briefly delve into Jim sales past and his lack of success.  Don't worry, we stick to Bourbon and it's positive influences. 

Criticize my feedback, will you?! Join us as Randy and Jim talk about criticism, feedback and possibly alienate every listener of French dissent.  Do you know the difference between feedback and coaching?  How about the difference between appreciation and evaluation? You may also discover why French bread & French Fries are so critical to feedback and why Jim's sense of humor is always appropriate.
