You see, the problem isn't that the people or situations AREN'T important, but it's that they don't FEEL important! This is particularly an issue with leaders because we are taught and let's be honest, our jobs depend on us being in the future, figuring out where we need to be. But if we're in the future, we are not present. Sometimes we're not present because of fear or insecurities, some of us have social anxiety. No one chooses to be afraid, so it's not like we WANT to do this, but we're doing it. So how do we become more present when we need and want to be? In this important episode, Jason Stonehouse walks us through some brand new thinking and content on the subject. Jason is currently in development on an online course that will provide real-time skills like this and we will gain from some of his best new learnings on the subject.

And yet for year people have believed that emotions happen to them and they have no control. We say things like, "you make me so mad" assuming that the other person has control over what we feel and we are merely victims to it. And when emotions are out of our control, then we can't predict them, influence them or change them. In this surprising episode Jason Stonehouse will share what we've been missing and pull back the curtain on our emotions and how we can become emotionally healthy leaders.

Everybody says they want humility and want to be friends with people who have it and have employees or bosses who possess it in spades. But nobody seems to exercise it. And when they do, it's so rare that it's almost uncomfortable, we don't know what to do with it. In this episode Jason Stonehouse shares from both his failures and success how to be a human leader with vulnerabilities and challenges.

And when we don't feel confident, many good leaders tend to try and fake it. We try to pump ourselves up with motivational thoughts or inspiring music. But most people see right through fake confidence. So what's the answer? How do we build the kind of confidence that our followers need? Join Jason Stonehouse as he walks us through this important concept.

Many of us are unaware of how others experience us. We can also be unaware of what is driving our actions and emotions. Self-awareness is the skill we need to open up brand new opportunities to grow. The potential you want to reach will only be discovered by focusing your movement on the right things. As you and I gain the clarity about what is happening internally, we then can prioritize the areas of our lives with the greatest upside or the most urgent need. Growing self aware provides us with that leader's edge! Jason Stonehouse hosts this episode of the Calm and Confident Leader.

They may use words like stress, worry, and tension but they find their roots in anxiety. Anxiety shows up in every aspect of life, nothing is safe from its influence. It is caused by lots of different things and if not dealt with by some outside help it could end up taking even good leaders down. Jason Stonehouse, founder of the Calm and Confident Leader digs a little deeper into this subject in this important episode.
