Episode 71: Leader By Accident Twins Talk it Up Podcast

    • Entrepreneurship

Not all incredible influencers initially set out to be in the spotlight or to become the leader. Their rise to leadership is usually framed not by a desire for a title but by a respond to a need. Our guest Jim Rafferty shares about this being the case through his new book, Leader by Accident: Lessons in Leadership, Loss and Life. Jim is not only an author, but he is also an entrepreneur serving as the Principle of JMRketing, LLC.

We learn how an unforeseen event led to Jim answering the call to lead and how this would repeat itself years later when he began his own business. We ask Jim to touch on one of his core strengths of storytelling and on the role stories can have in leaving a lasting impression.

We discuss the need for stepping outside our comfort zones, as this is often where we most challenge ourselves and experience our greatest growth. Jim touches on the importance of gratitude and on being able to ‘give yourself a pat on the back’ and how we need to acknowledge our progress. You will be particularly inspired by something as simple as ‘6 more words’ and how words can have an incredible impact personally and organizationally. 

After picking up Jim’s book, you will begin to start looking for and apply your own ‘scoutmaster minutes’ in your life. Be leaders of intention even if it is initially by accident. To learn more about Jim Rafferty and to get a copy of his book, ‘Leader by Accident: Lessons in Leadership, Loss and Life’, visit https://www.leaderbyaccident.com/
