A.B. Short is the co-founder and CEO of Medshare, an Atlanta based nonprofit that is having global impact.  On Inspiration at Work this week, A.B. and the Director of Volunteer Services, Lindsey Barber share with us how business can get involved in an incredible team building activity while having a positive impact on the state of healthcare in third-world countries.  Medshare has become to medical supplies what food-banks is to food.

In this session you will hear about purpose-driven work,  team-building, succession-planning, servant leadership and how to get others involved in your brand.   Nice call out to Coke, Home Depot, Kimberly-Clark, and other Atlanta based businesses.

This is a fantastic show to share with other nonprofits who may be struggling with getting business leaders engaged.  It is also a relevant message for any team meeting.

One of the most fascinating interviews I have ever done with one of the most insightful and humble leaders on the planet. You will hear Ken’s perspective on “duck behavior” versus “eagle behavior.” You will also hear his passion and plea for business leaders to operate with golden-rule principles. We discuss his latest book, Lead with Luv, which he co-authored with President Emeritus of Southwest Airlines, Colleen Barrett. The interview is chocked full of Blanchard zingers, metaphors and stories and will leave you and your team with a desire to want to make the world a better place. Listen and you will agree, I am sure of it.

If you have ever felt underemployed, under-valued, stuck with no way to move up, here’s hope. I had the privilege to interview Chip Patterson, AmeriPark CEO, and he tells an amazing story. His life is a window into what happens when we are faithful with the little opportunities versus being a victim. A victim says “I deserve better.” Faithfulness says, “I will give my best while I prepare for something else.”

The victim says, “There is nothing I can learn here.” Faithfulness says, “I will leverage this for something bigger and better.”

Take a moment and listen. You will be glad you did.

 

Who comes to your mind when you think about self-confidence?  Contrary to how some people think, those who are self-confident are not the arrogant, boastful, or the loud.  People who operate with a high degree of self-confidence have the ability to easily look over an offense, to build on failures, and to put others at ease when the winds of adversity begin to blow.

It’s amazing how much influence authority figures play in building or destroying a person’s self-confidence.  Bosses and supervisors, spouses and parents, teachers and politicians, all have the capacity to either build or destroy the self-confidence of those who look up to them.

My second guest this week  is Darrin Cohen. He is the CEO of a successful financial planning services firm, Wealth Enhancement & Preservation Of Georgia and is an example of a boss and a parent who inspires self-confidence in others.
