Do you want to be a better leader? Then it’s time you join the theater. My guest for this episode number 170 is Scott Eck, Founder and CEO of Leadership Masters. A company that creates leadership theater experiences for Fortune 100 clients such as Coca-Cola, 3M, Boeing, State Farm and Lockheed Martin. You may be wondering what theater has to do with leadership. It’s all based on an idea called sociodrama, developed by a student of Freud’s years ago. By roleplaying key figures in high stakes situations such as the British government during World War II or the African National Congress during the trial of Nelson Mandela, Scott is able to completely immerse the students in extraordinary circumstances to help them understand the actions and behaviors of great leaders firsthand. Learning in this way can affect deep personal change and develop leadership and communication skills in a way that’s not possible in more conventional approaches to education.

We all like to believe that we are the masters of our own psychology. Oftentimes, that’s the furthest thing from the truth. It’s the bad patterns and habits. It’s the limiting beliefs, it’s the addictions that drive the bus. We want to quit smoking, we want to lose the weight, we want to shed the irrational fears that we have and yet, we can’t. Something’s getting in the way. We’re getting triggered, we’re not believing in ourselves. We’re ending up with chronic illnesses.

It’s been a while since we came out with an episode on style or fashion. It was episode eight a long time ago, that was with Luke Storey. It was an amazing episode. If you haven’t read it, you definitely should go and read it. I don’t think of myself as having a lot of fashion sense. I did not dress well a decade ago. I didn’t know any better. I rely heavily on my wife and also we rely on stylists for things like closet cleanses, outfit combinations, buying new items. A lot of times we’ll buy stuff on our own, but we also will do big buys with our stylist. This topic may seem superficial to some of you. It does feel good to look stylish and to feel you have some competence in this area. It helps in business. It helps if you’re dating. It’s definitely something worth reading.This is episode number 162.
