  • The Art of Thought Leadership With Daniel Priestley and Mindy Gibbins-Klein

    The Art of Thought Leadership With Daniel Priestley and Mindy Gibbins-Klein
    2025/08/18
    In this special edition of The Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata revisits his conversation with thought leadership experts Mindy Gibbins-Klein and Daniel Priestley. Andy, Mindy and Daniel examine the art and science of becoming an influential voice in your field. Mindy introduces the concept of 'thoughtful leadership,' defining it as the courage to share new, exciting ideas widely and respectfully. She challenges leaders to discover their passion and legacy. Daniel Priestley explores the shift from geographical to ideological communities in the digital age, explaining why sharing ideas is now essential for creating alignment and attracting talent, customers, and investors. Together, they discuss the practicalities of cutting through online noise, the delicate balance of authenticity, and how to handle changing your mind publicly. This episode is a masterclass for any leader looking to build influence, shape conversations, and create a lasting impact in a crowded world, reminding us that true leadership begins with the courage to think differently and share that thinking with others. Key Takeaways Thought leadership isn't a title; it's the result of having the courage to share exciting, new, and original ideas widely and well. We now live in ideological neighbourhoods. In the digital age, people align based on ideas, not just geography. If you aren’t sharing your ideas, you can’t create alignment. Respect is non-negotiable. To be a ‘thoughtful’ leader, your ideas must be shared with respect, acknowledging you don't have all the answers and being open to conversation. Authenticity requires rising to the moment. While being true to yourself is key, leadership also means delivering the message your audience needs to hear. Relationships are your testing ground. Use your trusted network to "lock horns" and strengthen your ideas in a safe environment before sharing them with a wider audience. Actionable Insights Start with your "why," not the title. Instead of aiming to "become a thought leader," identify a passion, a problem you want to solve, or a legacy you want to leave. Your message will be more powerful when it comes from a place of conviction. Narrow your focus. To build confidence and reduce risk, stick to topics you are truly knowledgeable about. Don't feel pressured to have an opinion on every trending topic; master your lane. Practice the "power of the un." To avoid information overload and create mental space for deep thinking, actively unfollow, unsubscribe, and unplug from sources that create noise rather than value.

  • How to 'Go Rhino' and Achieve Massive Ambitions with David Hyner

    How to 'Go Rhino' and Achieve Massive Ambitions with David Hyner
    2025/08/11
    In this edition of Connected Leadership Bytes, Andy Lopata reminds us of the powerful and popular conversation he had with researcher and speaker, David Hyner. Prepare to have your conventional wisdom on goal-setting completely shattered as David dismantles the myth of SMART goals. He reveals why this widely accepted principle is misquoted and misinterpreted, advocating instead for setting 'Massive Goals with Smart Steps'—a strategy resulting from his extensive research with over 250 top achievers. The discussion goes beyond theory, exploring David's personal journey and the profound parallels he draws between insecure schoolchildren and senior executives. He shares why leaders must connect with younger generations to prepare for a 'tsunami of change' in the workplace. From learning to 'Go Rhino' on your toughest tasks to the critical role of accountability and mastermind groups, this episode is a masterclass in shifting your mindset, embracing audacious ambition, and achieving more than you thought possible. Key Takeaways Rethink SMART Goals: The concept is widely misquoted. Top achievers don't set 'realistic' goals; they set massive goals and break them down into smart, attainable, and relevant steps. Serve, Don't Seek Approval: True impact comes not from seeking applause but from focusing entirely on serving your audience, team, or clients to the best of your ability. Leaders and Kids Aren't So Different: Senior leaders often suffer from the same insecurities, imposter syndrome, and doubts as young students. Leaders can learn from the fearless, unfiltered perspective of young people. Tackle the Hardest Task First: Adopt the 'Go Rhino' mindset. By dedicating just 5-10 minutes a day to your most difficult task first, you build momentum and your day only gets easier. Accountability is Strength: Going it alone is arrogance. The most successful people actively seek support and accountability, often through mastermind groups, to ensure they follow through on their commitments. Actionable Insights What if the universally accepted SMART goal framework is actually holding you back? Discover the simple, two-part structure top achievers use to pursue massive, world-changing ambitions instead. How could a tiny, 10-minute shift in your morning routine completely change the trajectory of your biggest projects? Learn the 'Go Rhino' principle and why tackling the scariest task first makes everything else easier. Why might the most valuable insights for your company's future not come from a boardroom, but from a classroom? Hear why one of Europe's top entrepreneurs regularly consulted with high school students to generate his best ideas.

  • There's Nothing Magical About Monday with Melinda Palmer

    There's Nothing Magical About Monday with Melinda Palmer
    2025/08/04
    Ever found yourself pushing a crucial task to a mythical, more productive “tomorrow”? You’re not alone. In this fascinating episode of The Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata is joined by Melinda Palmer. Melinda is CEO of The Brainy Business, she has written three bestselling books and hosts The Brainy Business podcast, which has more than 1 million downloads in over 170 countries. A consultant and keynote speaker, she also teaches applied behavioural economics and she has been featured in many outlets, including Inc. and Psychology Today. Inspired by her TEDx Talk, "There's Nothing Magical About Monday," Melinda describes four cognitive biases. She reveals why our brains are wired to see our future self as a different, more capable person (an effect called time discounting) and why we consistently underestimate how long tasks will take (the optimism bias and planning fallacy). Andy and Melinda explore the concept of "bike shedding," a form of productive procrastination where we focus on trivial activities to avoid tackling the bigger, more intimidating goals. They discuss the difference between being busy and being effective, questioning whether we should measure our days by hours worked or by outcomes achieved. Discover practical strategies to reclaim your focus, from Cal Newport's "Deep Work" and the Pomodoro Technique to the simple yet powerful mindset shift of saying "not yet" to distractions. Finally, Andy and Melinda discuss the power of connection, exploring how accountability partners, mentors, and making your goals public can provide the external structure and motivation needed to achieve your ambitions. Tune in for a master class in understanding your own mind to become more focused, effective, and connected in your work. What we discussed: 1. Why does your brain treat your "future self" like a completely different person, making it easy to commit to tasks you’ll later avoid? 2. What is "bike shedding," and how could focusing on a seemingly productive but trivial task be derailing your most important projects? 3. Are you measuring your productivity in hours or in achievements? Discover why shifting your perspective could be a game-changer for your effectiveness. 4. What is the "hard streak" effect, and why could interspersing difficult and easy tasks be the secret to avoiding burnout and feeling better at the end of the day? 5. Beyond individual discipline, how can leveraging your professional relationships be your secret weapon against procrastination?
