Leading with Heart. Part 3 of 10

All essentials are taken from the book: Leading with Passion by John Murrphy.
Essential #3
Leading with Heart
         I know growing up in the Bronx people use to always talk about having Heart. If you were ever scared of someone or something, they would say you had no Heart. This is probably the reason inner city kids appear to be tough. I think this  is an important lesson to teach kids. The Wizard of Oz teaches about Heart with the cowardly Lion. He is searching for heart. I to equate Heart with Courage, if you fear something, chances are your heart is not in it. When your Heart is into something you begin to lose fear. Nothing can stop you because you feel in your heart that what you are doing is right. Sometimes others will not be able to understand because they do not feel the same way.  But with heart you will not be scared to go alone because Leading with your Heart Leads to Courage.
        If you ever want to lead people you must believe in what your message is. You must believe with ALL of yourself. You must believe with your Heart that what your doing will work. It is not something that can really be expressed verbally. It is a feeling. The best way I can describe it is if you think about when you hear your favorite song on the radio. You get a certain feeling, you can't explain it but you know when you feel it. This is also the reason you say you know the song by heart. Not only do you memorize the words but you can feel the message behind them.  When you speak to people they should get the same feeling while you deliver your message. They should feel that you are being honest with them and that you believe and feel what you are telling them.

Rotational Athletes and why you MUST know about the Serape Effect

The Rotational Athlete  In today’s blog we will be discussing a pattern in the overhead/rotational athlete, called the “Serape Effect”. Gene A. Logan and Wayne C. McKinney introduced the Serape Effect to us in their book, “Kinesiology” a couple centuries ago.  The Serape Effect gets its name from a Mexican garment that is draped loosely over the shoulders and is crossed in front of the body.  The muscles involved in the serape effects are the rhomboids, serratus anterior, external obliques and internal obliques. “The Serape Effect incorporates several major concepts which are vital to the understanding of movement. In ballistic actions such as throwing and kicking, the serape muscles add to the summation of internal forces. They also transfer internal force from a large body segment, the trunk, to relatively smaller body parts, the limbs. For example, the serape effect functions in throwing by summating, adding to, and transferring the internal forces generated ...

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3...

A Few Tips on Public Speaking

A Few Tips on Public Speaking    Recently I took a course on public speaking by a group called "own the room".  I felt it was a very helpful course and I wanted to share some of my major takeaways with you all.     As many people may guess, public speaking is one of the greatest fears of most people. It is also the best way to get your message across to large groups of people at the same time. In the fitness business, it is necessary to constantly get your face exposed in the community you work in.  This will help you gain exposure and more exposure equals more business. The following tips may help you get more comfortable with public speaking.  Start off with a BANG! Don't stand there and talk bout yourself for 20minutes. If people are coming to see you talk they already assume you are qualified to speak. Start off with a story, quote, poem, riddle,joke,  etc. Something that will grab their attention. The audience  decides ...
