What do you want your culture to be in the future and how do you get there as a senior leader? 1. First get embedded in the current culture, particularly if you come in from outside. 2. Don't run racecar until the road is ready: build trust. 3. Take risks to show strengths. Three tools: 1. Blameless discernment 2. Empathy – put yourself in other people's shoes and see their impact 3. Explore differences. Listen. Win the right to be listened to. Work with your colleagues: show trust, respect, love to start the ball rolling For more about Miao Cao, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/miaocao/ For more videos in this series, visit https://mycoach.zone

Senia Maymin describes a way to tell stories about yourself in a job interview or customer meeting in a humble, truthful, and powerful way. She calls these SARI stories, and she walks us through one she'd tell about herself. S = Situation. That gives drama before you even start talking about what you did. A = Action. What step did you take to address the situation? R = Result. What happened as a result of your action? How did the situation change? I = Interesting observation. These can be quirky and fun! Often when she's working with someone, she first asks about Results and then moves back to help them vocalize Situation and Action.

Preparing to present? Think about: 1. Your intention, preferably a strong infinitive verb (to motivate, to inspire) 2. Your attention, being ready to be focused on what's happening 3. Your tension, remembering that nobody else knows you're nervous! 4. Your facial muscles. They need to be warmed up just like an athlete's body before a race.
