LEADERS KNOW WHEN TO GET OUT IN FRONT“No matter how good you are as a leader, one trait and skill you share with other effective leaders, even the ones who are genuinely not good people, is the ability to communicate an effective narrative. Using the story to linguistically put yourself and your organization in the most favorable light is job #1 of effective leaders. If you are second to the table of narrative distribution, you are already too late.” J Loren Norris LEADERS SHOULD ENDEAVOR TO INCREASE AWARENESS OF THEIR OTHER SIDE“If you’re human you have a dark side. If you’re a leader you have faults, short comings, room for improvement and blind spots. You must spend the emotional energy and focused time to identify and rectify those areas. If you do not address those issues, you will never shine as bright as you could from every facet of your personality. There will also be important people you will remain unable to connect with until you become aware and take action.” J Loren Norris WHY DO LEADERS FEEL GOOD WHEN THEY DO GOOD THINGS FOR OTHERS?“Leaders have great results when they are guided by good intentions to truly help others. Leaders, whether hands on, social, cultural, business or political who use tools to alter the emotional state or biophysical state of those they lead, have results which should be held in question IMHO. Motives and intent are as important as the way you make people feel. Leaders are responsible for all of these at once.” J Loren Norris LEADERS KNOW TRUE TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES A REWRITE FROM THE BELIEF SYSTEM TO THE COMMON LANGUAGE2/25/2022 LEADERS KNOW TRUE TRANSFORMATION REQUIRES A REWRITE FROM THE BELIEF SYSTEM TO THE COMMON LANGUAGE“Employees who need a period of probation for correcting destructive behavior will often comply with expectations to save their job. The actions look right, the productivity is on par, the rhetoric sounds like they are on the mend. Unfortunately, this is often just for show. Good leaders know if the belief system changes, then the attitude and action both will change and will become evident in common conversations as well.” J Loren Norris LEADERS MUST NOT BECOME NPC'S IN SOCIETY AND CULTURE“Not every leader you encounter is a leader who is taking charge of their own life. Some are so wrapped up in the culture and societal norms that they cannot lead. They look for cues, decisions, directions by sticking a finger to the air and looking to see the direction of the wind at this very moment. They make no decisions on principle, core values, foundational ideas of right and wrong. They simply follow the crowd and do what is expedient, the most popular or the most profitable action at the time. Strong leaders are not ‘non-playable characters’ in their own life relegated to following the script of the programmers. Be a strong leader!” J Loren Norris IS IT SEMANTICS, WORD PLAY, OR PSYOPS? LEADERS NEED TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE“Some people play with words because they want to be funny, some people play with words out of ignorance, some people play with words for the purpose of manipulation. Learning to be a better, more intentional, more specific communicator should be the priority of every leader. Attend StoryPowerMasterClass and learn how to do all of the above.at a higher level.” J Loren Norris WHY FAITH, FAMILY AND FREEDOM ARE IMPORTANT LEADERSHIP PILLARS“What you believe, who you associate with and the right to make your own decisions are all foundational pillars of leadership. If leadership is influence, nothing more and nothing less, then telling others what to believe, who to spend time with and what decisions to make is not leadership but tyranny. Leaders must guard these elements of society and culture as well as reinforcing them as daily priorities.” J Loren Norris LEADERS HAVE STRATEGIES TO RISE ABOVE THE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH KEEP OTHERS IN MALAISE.“A strategy is required for leaders who do not want to live in the malaise of the drama so common in life. Circumstances are not always what we wish they were. We cannot control every situation, choose every relationship, direct every consequence… or can we? If we have asked the toughest question (watch the video) and wrestled with that question until we have the answer, then we will lead with a strategy which mitigates the drama and the distraction it brings.” J Loren Norris THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GENUINE, COMPASSIONATE LEADERSHIP“Taking from one group of people to give to another group of people is called redistribution of wealth. Giving to people who are in need of assistance in a time of crisis is called compassion. Using the redistributed wealth of others to incentivize unproductive and societally destructive behavior is maleficent manipulation at best and outright corruption at worst.“ J Loren Norris AVAILABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY ARE NOT THE SAME BUT BOTH LEAD TO LEADERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES“Determining when, where and with whom you invest, waste or spend your time is a major and critical leadership decision. Too many leaders make themselves accessible to people who suck up time, divert attention and drain emotional strength with unnecessary drama. Being a wise steward of access and availability will open and close the proper doors of opportunity and direct a leaders future well.” J Loren Norris LEADERS MUST KNOW WHEN TO MOVE ON AND WHEN TO STAND THEIR GROUND“People who wrestle for power and control know that a divided enemy is much easier to overcome. The tactic of inspiring and creating divisions is not hard work but it is crucial work for conquering. Anytime a leader sees disagreement among team members they should be asking the questions: ‘Is this division caused by irreconcilable differences, misunderstandings or core values? Is this conflict a result of personality alone? Can common ground be achieved? WILL RESOLUTION MAKE THE TEAM BETTER OR BITTER?’ Then decide if they should find a new circle or fight to keep the one they have.” J Loren Norris LEADERS KNOW CONTEXT MATTERS.“Whoever controls the framing of the image, the issue or the argument controls the perspective. Right, wrong or otherwise, proper framing can convince the observer of a truth which is not true. A sound bite, edited video clip, manipulated focus or zoom can all be tools for controlling the narrative or meaning of an incident. Leaders are aware of all the context, all the circumstances and the big picture. Leaders know context matters.” J Loren Norris “The use of rhetorical propaganda and the strategic psy-ops level of engagement between the corporate globalist media and US democrat party officials is nothing more than a slight of hand, a rope a dope for the masses.
The more they scream of inequality, inequities as well as racial and class warfare, the more traction they gain with their adherents. Even when the declarations and decrees are baseless, false and provably inaccurate, they confirm existing biases and motivate their base to action (riots, protests, activism). This is the means of connecting and controlling the ‘proletariat’ to action against the “accused bourgeoise” of conservative and capitalist minded people. While these activities serve the agenda, it’s more the icing than the cake. The real treat is the division created all the way to the family level. This tactic guarantees the opportunity to create a divided front. When no one you know agrees with you enough to stand up beside you and push back you are disgraced and of no threat at all. Fractional resistance is no resistance. Meanwhile, those who have absconded with unwarranted, unbridled power and obfuscated authority claim their own form of aristocratic global governance. If it were not playing out before our very eyes in the daily news we would likely find the plot to be as ludicrous as an Austin Powers movie. As boiled down as we can make it, we must find agreement. As simplified as the message must be, as few points of agreement which remain, we must find unity and alignment to repel the divisions and diversions being leveled at us. If our nation is to remain the heart and soul of freedom the world over - the last bastion of hope and light - we must stand on common ground and declare with a loud voice what we stand together for.” J Loren Norris ThatGuySpeaks.com LEADERS HAVE BELIEF ENOUGH TO SPARE.“Believing in others is one of the most significant gifts a leader can give. Self doubt, external criticism and competition can destroy the success of a budding superstar. Often the margin between potential and progress is measured by belief. Lead others with consistent, specific and credible adulation to demonstrate your belief in them and you will reap the rewards of a confident team.” J Loren Norris SILENCE AND COMPLIANCE ARE NOT TRAITS OF GREAT LEADERSHIP“Great leaders are free thinkers. Often free thinking causes them to live in a bubble. When your ideas, thoughts, choices are not in the realm of normal or controllable you will be challenged to remain silent, to calm down, to fit in. DON’T DO IT! If you have thoughts and opinions which are different than the majority, you have something special to offer to society. Don’t keep your treasures to yourself and rob society of their benefit. Do it with class, dignity and poise, but speak up!” J Loren Norris WEAK LEADERS ARE WEAK IN THREE SPECIFIC AREAS. WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE?“The best connections, the most open doors, the strongest reputation, and the greatest opportunity can all be cancelled by weaknesses left unaddressed. A leader who is not actively aware of weakness will not bother to address weakness. Three specific areas of weakness will cripple everything you have worked for in short order. These three areas of weakness are isolated to the individual and while they may be impacted by others, they can only be addressed and corrected by you. Yes, you have to watch the video to discover what they are.” J Loren Norris WEAK LEADERS ARE WEAK IN THREE SPECIFIC AREAS.

Insuperable Vision Workshop - Audio Download with worksheets Day after day I meet people who are struggling just to make ends meet. They are adrift in this vast sea of humanity holding on to their job, their family, their home, and their car with all they've got. They see their life experiences and education as the last hope to find their purpose and identity. They gather, fill and stuff all the money they can into every opportune investment. Yet they are empty, frustrated, angry and just plain fed up. We have all experienced that moment; when we find yourself stuck in traffic, yelling at random strangers to do what they wish they could... but can't... GO! The idea that life can be better than it is today is like the flame of a candle fighting for all its worth to stand against the tempest. We all want a better life.
Even when life is good, we want more. That idea, that flame, is the hope that lives in the hearts and minds of all of us. Should that flame be extinguished, hope itself may well go with it. It is the rut of hopelessness that traps many would be shining stars and buries that glow from the sight of the world. It is the rut of hopelessness that extinguishes that flame. Lives that would have been a beacon to the wandering are lost at sea themselves. Inspirations of success that would have been the voices crying out to all who suffer are hidden away in their own stale lives, they cannot share who they are or what the world needs from them. It is my passion to help you find your purpose. I want to see you become successful, but more than that to be free! Without vision people perish. Without vision, we seem to be lost, mind numb robots following the herd into the abyss that is everyday life. We do not live intentionally without a vision for our future. We do not live passionately without a vision for our future. We do not live productively without a vision for our future. We certainly cannot lead without a vision for our future and a vision for the future of those we lead. This audio course will inspire and instruct you to create a vision which will become a significant driving force in your life. Attitude Hack (For Christians) Audio Download

I won’t tell you what to do. It's your choice because your attitude is your choice. When a thought comes into your head, what you focus on or don't focus on, will make you who you are. Those thoughts will become beliefs, then become attitudes, then become actions, then become behaviors, and finally become your circumstances. From the thought to the circumstances, you have many chances to lead your own life. The key strategic place you have an opportunity to control life is in your own attitude, because attitude is a choice, a choice of thought. Categories All LEADERS KNOW THAT ENTERTAINMENT IS THE OPIATE OF THE MASSES AND AMERICA IS STRUGGLING WITH AN OPIATE ADDICTION“Amazing as it is, the ability to persuade, convince and manipulate subtly buried in the art of entertainment is still a fascinating subject to me which gets largely ignored as a tool or trap for leaders. When a distraction offers itself without disclosing any agenda, we should assume a diabolical intent.“ J Loren Norris LEADERSHIP AND AUTHORITY AND FOLLOWING ORDERS ARE THEY ALL THE SAME?“Leaders are leaders because they know the power of authority and the value of submission to authority. But not everyone who is promoted to management is a leader who should be trusted with authority. Power hungry people tend to wrestle their way to the top, then abuse the authority they are given. Leadership is not about power, its about being trusted to influence people in the direction which is best for them, the team, the organization and ultimately society as a whole.” J Loren Norris THINKING IS THE ABYSS OF FAILED LEADERSHIP. COMMIT TIME TO THINK.“What were you thinking? Or sometimes we should ask ‘Were you thinking?’ Leaders often find themselves in an infinite feedback loop where the ideas, actions and attitudes of the past are the driving factors for tomorrow. The only way to break this cycle is fresh, new thinking. Thinking which challenges the status quo is crucial. Thinking which invites input but resists opinionated criticism is key. Thinking which inspires dreams, motivates team members and mitigates risk is the job of leaders.” J Loren Norris PICK YOUR THREE - NOT TWELVE, NOT 5,000 JUST THREE THEN LEAD THEM THOROUGHLY“If you measure the success of your leadership solely on the volume of people or dollars under your direction, you will fail to find the fulfillment and purpose of your life. Leading well the people closest to you will be significantly more rewarding. When your inner circle experiences the integrity of your leadership in the darkest and brightest moments your influence. Will be profoundly deeper and longer lasting.” J Loren Norris YOU WILL NOT SUCCESSFULLY LEAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE - JUST INFLUENCE YOUR INNER CIRCLE DEEPLY AND LET IT RIPPLE“It is near impossible, but without a doubt impractical to personally LEAD a large group of people. Great leaders lead strong in small groups of influencers who expand that influence in the same manner. Trying to have hands on action while driving the overarching vision and direction requires an extreme form of tyrannical micro management. If you want to have great influence, focus on deep and meaningful impact in small, concentric circles of influence then allow that to ripple throughout the organization.” J Loren Norris LEADERS KNOW JUSTICE HAS A SPECIFIC MEANING AND LEADERS SACRIFICE THEIR COMFORT FOR COMPASSION11/5/2021 “One of the biggest challenges for leaders who are human is to live with a strict rule for justice. Why?? Because humans build relationships, create bonds, share likenesses and affinities with specific people. This makes leading with equal treatment a matter of significant discipline, awareness and integrity. Justice also demands compassion when circumstances would give rise to an exception to treatment different from historically applied.” J Loren Norris LEADERS avoid the butter cream icing on a balloon cake DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, THEN DIG DEEPER.11/3/2021 “If you believe the headlines, the sound bites, the Twitter news feed or TikTok is a solid source of information all on its own, YOU ARE NOT FIT TO LEAD! Do some more research. Read the entire article and then read all the citations (if there are any). Many times you will find the headline was misleading at best, deceptive and corrupt at worst. If you are a person of influence you are responsible to be better informed.” J Loren Norris “A leader without a vision is like a bicycle with out a pedal, it might move randomly or coast downhill but taking action will be extremely challenging and gaining momentum to tackle the hills will be near impossible. Motivating a team with that sort of restriction is also near impossible. A good leader knows what moves each member, knows what actions they need to take and what success looks like individually and collectively.” J Loren Norris LEADERS KNOW TRUTH WILL ONLY PREVAIL WHEN IT IS PERSISTENT, CONSISTENT AND NOT SUPPRESSED.10/7/2021 “The first to speak is often believed, even when everything they declare is UNTRUE. Sadly, even when it is later PROVEN UNTRUE, the first declaration has the power of hangers on who want the declaration to be true. Truth itself has the trifecta expectation, it is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Truth also has the magnitude of gravity, gravitas, that something internally which says your can defy truth all you wish, but one day it will reveal itself and expose your foolishness.” J Loren Norris |
