- 0:02Lisa Nichols: Chromosomes.
- 0:03Lisa Nichols: Little strands of nucleic acids and proteins are the fundamental genetic instructions
- 0:08Lisa Nichols: that tell us who we are at birth.
- 0:10Lisa Nichols: Most people are born with forty six chromosomes, but each year in the United
- 0:14Lisa Nichols: States, about six thousand people are born with an extra chromosome, making them a
- 0:18Lisa Nichols: person with Down syndrome.
- 0:20Lisa Nichols: If you've ever encountered someone with Down syndrome, you know that they are some
- 0:24Lisa Nichols: of the kindest, most joyful people you will ever meet.
- 0:27Lisa Nichols: They truly have something extra.
- 0:30Lisa Nichols: My name is Lisa Nichols, and for thirty years, I have been both the
- 0:34Lisa Nichols: CEO of Technology Partners and the mother to Ali.
- 0:38Lisa Nichols: Ali has something extra in every sense of the word.
- 0:41Lisa Nichols: I have been blessed to be by her side as she impacts everyone she
- 0:45Lisa Nichols: meets.
- 0:46Lisa Nichols: Through these two important roles as CEO and mother to Ally, I have
- 0:50Lisa Nichols: witnessed countless life lessons that have fundamentally changed the way I look at the
- 0:54Lisa Nichols: world.
- 0:55Lisa Nichols: While you may not have an extra chromosome, every leader has something extra that
- 0:59Lisa Nichols: defines who you are.
- 1:00Lisa Nichols: Join me as I explore the something extra in leaders from all walks of
- 1:04Lisa Nichols: life and discover how that difference in each of them has made a difference

- 3:35Lisa Nichols: Right?
- 3:37Lisa Nichols: And, of course, you've continued to do amazing things.
- 3:39Lisa Nichols: But the cool thing about it is, Jeremie, when we met, then we've done
- 3:43Lisa Nichols: other things together.
- 3:44Lisa Nichols: So I brought you in as a keynote speaker for the CIO summit
- 3:48Lisa Nichols: in Saint Louis, and you blew it out of the water.
- 3:51Lisa Nichols: And so I just I love that.
- 3:53Lisa Nichols: I just love Absolutely.
- 3:55Lisa Nichols: Being able to collaborate and create new things.
- 3:57Lisa Nichols: And so I just know that our conversation today is going to be helpful
- 4:01Lisa Nichols: for our listeners.
- 4:03Lisa Nichols: Jeremie is, a keynote speaker.
- 4:06Lisa Nichols: He I mean, when I when we talked in twenty twenty four, I know
- 4:10Lisa Nichols: you had founded cofounded twenty five different companies.
- 4:13Lisa Nichols: It's probably thirty now.
- 4:14Lisa Nichols: Who knows?
- 4:15Lisa Nichols: But he's the CEO and founder of Giant,
- 4:19Lisa Nichols: has written now how many books now?
- 4:21Jeremie Kucicek: Seven books.
- 4:22Jeremie Kucicek: So that was my seventh one.
- 4:23Jeremie Kucicek: This one is.
- 4:24Lisa Nichols: This one here.
- 4:25Lisa Nichols: And this is the voice driven leader, and we're gonna do a lot of
- 4:28Lisa Nichols: talking about that.
- 4:29Lisa Nichols: But, yeah, I would just encourage our listeners.
- 4:32Lisa Nichols: If you have not followed Jeremie, start following him.
- 4:35Lisa Nichols: Get his books.
- 4:36Lisa Nichols: He's got the peace index, two voices, five gears,
- 4:40Lisa Nichols: and that's one that Greg and I both read years ago before we even
- 4:44Lisa Nichols: knew who you were.
- 4:46Lisa Nichols: The hundred x leader is another awesome, awesome book that I would
- 4:50Lisa Nichols: highly recommend, making your leadership come alive.
- 4:53Lisa Nichols: I mean, The Communication Code Mhmm.
- 4:56Lisa Nichols: Is another really good one.
- 4:57Lisa Nichols: So follow Jeremie if you need a keynote speaker.
- 5:01Lisa Nichols: I'm sure he would be happy to look at his schedule for that.
- 5:04Lisa Nichols: And then, Jeremie, how many coaches do you have now?
- 5:07Lisa Nichols: How many We have.
- 5:08Lisa Nichols: Sherpas do you have?
- 5:09Jeremie Kucicek: We have five hundred, coaches in the giant ecosystem,
- 5:14Jeremie Kucicek: working around the world.
- 5:16Lisa Nichols: Yes.
- 5:16Lisa Nichols: And so if you need a coach
- 5:18Jeremie Kucicek: Yep.
- 5:19Lisa Nichols: Or you need, you know, a specialized workshop for your organization,
- 5:24Lisa Nichols: reach out to to Jeremie.
- 5:26Lisa Nichols: So just, just an amazing, amazing person.
- 5:30Lisa Nichols: So go back, listeners.
- 5:32Lisa Nichols: I would really highly encourage you to go back to episode two seventy one
- 5:36Lisa Nichols: because we really set it up and, you know, there was an event that
- 5:40Lisa Nichols: happened with Jeremie.
- 5:41Lisa Nichols: I'm not gonna spool it for you, but it was a life changing event,
- 5:45Lisa Nichols: pivotal event in his life.
- 5:47Lisa Nichols: And so go back and listen to episode two seventy one.
- 5:50Lisa Nichols: But I am holding your newest book, The Voice Driven
- 5:54Lisa Nichols: Leader.
- 5:55Lisa Nichols: The subtext is how to hear, value, and maximize
- 5:59Lisa Nichols: every voice on your team.
- 6:01Lisa Nichols: So, Jeremie, what is the voice driven leader, and why is it so timely
- 6:06Lisa Nichols: in the era that we're in and especially in the AI area?
- 6:09Jeremie Kucicek: Absolutely.
- 6:11Jeremie Kucicek: So here's the here's the big idea.
- 6:13Jeremie Kucicek: If you speak to someone and so let me
- 6:17Jeremie Kucicek: let me do this.
- 6:18Jeremie Kucicek: If you're on the streets in Paris and you stop
- 6:22Jeremie Kucicek: into a cafe and have you been to Paris, Lisa?
- 6:26Lisa Nichols: I have.
- 6:26Jeremie Kucicek: K.
- 6:27Jeremie Kucicek: You go into, they're a little persnickety, the waiters.
- 6:30Lisa Nichols: Yes.
- 6:31Jeremie Kucicek: And you go into a little cafe, and you said, hey.
- 6:35Jeremie Kucicek: Hey.
- 6:36Jeremie Kucicek: Coffee.
- 6:37Jeremie Kucicek: Black.
- 6:37Jeremie Kucicek: Just black.
- 6:38Jeremie Kucicek: Coffee.
- 6:40Jeremie Kucicek: Right?
- 6:40Jeremie Kucicek: And then you sit down, and then you how's that gonna go?
- 6:45Jeremie Kucicek: Probably not great.
- 6:46Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 6:46Jeremie Kucicek: You're probably gonna get some pushback.
- 6:50Lisa Nichols: And the other thing you need to be aware of is their coffee is,
- 6:53Lisa Nichols: like, in a little shot glass.
- 6:56Jeremie Kucicek: Exactly.
- 6:57Jeremie Kucicek: But if you get a if you said, bonjour, cafe,
- 7:03Jeremie Kucicek: Like, just simply speaking their language, the chances
- 7:07Jeremie Kucicek: of it going better would happen.
- 7:09Jeremie Kucicek: Right?
- 7:10Lisa Nichols: So Right.
- 7:10Jeremie Kucicek: The same idea with, anyone on your team,
- 7:14Jeremie Kucicek: your spouse, your kids.
- 7:17Jeremie Kucicek: If you can learn to speak their language, you'll have more influence, more
- 7:21Jeremie Kucicek: impact versus forcing them to speak yours.
- 7:24Jeremie Kucicek: I lived in Russia.
- 7:27Jeremie Kucicek: So when I spoke when I speak Russian, I was in the airport recently,
- 7:30Jeremie Kucicek: and I spoke Russian to this person, and they just came alive because
- 7:34Jeremie Kucicek: I understood them.
- 7:36Jeremie Kucicek: And they felt valued, and they felt connected, and we had an instant rapport
- 7:40Jeremie Kucicek: simply because I was attempting to speak their language.
- 7:44Jeremie Kucicek: So what happens is so that's part one of the book.
- 7:47Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 7:48Jeremie Kucicek: The part two of the book is then if you know who
- 7:52Jeremie Kucicek: you are, your voice, and you know who they are and their voice,
- 7:56Jeremie Kucicek: then where are you taking them?
- 7:59Jeremie Kucicek: What's the development plan?
- 8:00Jeremie Kucicek: And the entire book is, like, developing people through your
- 8:04Jeremie Kucicek: ecosystem.
- 8:05Jeremie Kucicek: It's like I would I would say this biasly.
- 8:08Jeremie Kucicek: This is the best leadership book.
- 8:10Jeremie Kucicek: It's the most practical leadership book because it tells you exactly how to develop
- 8:14Jeremie Kucicek: an employee and or a teammate.
- 8:17Jeremie Kucicek: And, that's what the book is about.
- 8:20Lisa Nichols: Yes.
- 8:20Lisa Nichols: It's good.
- 8:21Lisa Nichols: It's so good.
- 8:22Lisa Nichols: Yeah.
- 8:22Lisa Nichols: I have not read it all, but I can show you here, Jeremie.
- 8:26Lisa Nichols: See?
- 8:27Lisa Nichols: I've got stars.
- 8:28Lisa Nichols: I've got asterisks.
- 8:29Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 8:30Lisa Nichols: It's really just, you know, there's so much good
- 8:35Lisa Nichols: stuff in here.
- 8:36Lisa Nichols: It says developing people doesn't fail from the lack
- 8:41Lisa Nichols: of care.
- 8:42Lisa Nichols: It fails when everything else crowds it out.
- 8:46Lisa Nichols: You know?
- 8:47Lisa Nichols: And I know that you,
- 8:50Lisa Nichols: because here you say most leaders are juggling three competing
- 8:54Lisa Nichols: pressures in their daily work.
- 8:56Lisa Nichols: The number one is clients, customers demanding immediate results,
- 9:01Lisa Nichols: making sure projects are going on time, on budget.
- 9:04Lisa Nichols: Right?
- 9:05Lisa Nichols: Number two, their boss is expecting strong performance metrics.
- 9:09Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 9:10Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 9:10Lisa Nichols: And then team members needing help, clarity, and development.
- 9:13Lisa Nichols: And you said when things really get busy, that's the one that gets neglected.
- 9:17Jeremie Kucicek: It's like your kids.
- 9:18Jeremie Kucicek: It's like in your family.
- 9:20Jeremie Kucicek: You can take your family for granted because and then if someone shows
- 9:24Jeremie Kucicek: up and you're all scurried at home and it's like, oh, come on in.
- 9:28Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 9:28Jeremie Kucicek: How are you?
- 9:29Jeremie Kucicek: And you put on that show, it's the same with clients.
- 9:33Jeremie Kucicek: It's like, we're so busy making the doughnuts.
- 9:36Jeremie Kucicek: So when when, guess who gets the first the person who's
- 9:40Jeremie Kucicek: paying the bill gets the focus.
- 9:42Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 9:42Jeremie Kucicek: And it and it's not bad.
- 9:43Jeremie Kucicek: That's not, like, like, that's just reality.
- 9:47Jeremie Kucicek: So if you know it, then how can you be intentional in training
- 9:51Jeremie Kucicek: and developing your people while those things are happening?
- 9:54Lisa Nichols: Mhmm.
- 9:54Jeremie Kucicek: So the idea of intentional
- 9:57Jeremie Kucicek: development and apprenticeship.
- 9:58Jeremie Kucicek: An apprenticeship is a lost art in our country, in America, or in the,
- 10:02Jeremie Kucicek: let's just say, in the west.
- 10:04Jeremie Kucicek: We don't know how to apprentice people because in the in the past, it
- 10:07Jeremie Kucicek: was easy if we're, like, building a building or if you're a stonemason.
- 10:12Jeremie Kucicek: Okay.
- 10:12Jeremie Kucicek: Watch me.
- 10:13Jeremie Kucicek: Right.
- 10:14Jeremie Kucicek: Now help me.
- 10:15Jeremie Kucicek: Now I'm gonna help you, then I'm gonna watch you.
- 10:17Jeremie Kucicek: And there's a process for apprenticeship with technology,
- 10:21Jeremie Kucicek: with AI, with it's like, watch how I send this text.
- 10:25Jeremie Kucicek: No one's gonna do that.
- 10:27Jeremie Kucicek: Watch me.
- 10:27Jeremie Kucicek: How do you see how I did that email?
- 10:29Jeremie Kucicek: And so there's not as much apprenticeship that happens any longer.
- 10:34Jeremie Kucicek: And so, therefore, development is usually, let's
- 10:38Jeremie Kucicek: send them into a training workshop, check that box.
- 10:42Jeremie Kucicek: We did it.
- 10:42Jeremie Kucicek: We have trainings.
- 10:43Jeremie Kucicek: We have workshops.
- 10:45Jeremie Kucicek: Or watch this course online, and we hope
- 10:48Lisa Nichols: you get it.
- 10:49Lisa Nichols: Yeah.
- 10:50Lisa Nichols: We hope you get it.
- 10:51Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 10:52Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 10:52Jeremie Kucicek: That's what happens.
- 10:53Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 10:54Lisa Nichols: You know, you just remind me because, you know, like, I started my career
- 10:59Lisa Nichols: in accounting, and then I pivoted about five and a half years
- 11:03Lisa Nichols: into my career into corporate sales.
- 11:06Lisa Nichols: And I had a boss that he would do ride alongs.
- 11:10Jeremie Kucicek: Yep.
- 11:10Lisa Nichols: I mean, he he went everywhere with me, right, whether I wanted him to
- 11:14Lisa Nichols: or not.
- 11:14Lisa Nichols: And I love you, Dave Bombard.
- 11:16Lisa Nichols: You taught me so much.
- 11:18Lisa Nichols: But he would do ride alongs.
- 11:19Lisa Nichols: And then, you know, kind of have a, like, a retrospective after
- 11:23Lisa Nichols: calls, and here's you did that well, but maybe try this
- 11:28Lisa Nichols: next time.
- 11:28Lisa Nichols: Right?
- 11:29Lisa Nichols: And
- 11:29Jeremie Kucicek: We call that, we call that a curbside review.
- 11:32Jeremie Kucicek: So after any meeting that I go on and I take someone with me,
- 11:35Jeremie Kucicek: and I usually take someone with me, no matter where.
- 11:39Jeremie Kucicek: I'm not actually CEO any longer of Giant.
- 11:41Jeremie Kucicek: I transitioned this last year to one of my right hand guys, and
- 11:45Jeremie Kucicek: now I'm just a founder.
- 11:47Jeremie Kucicek: But I'll take people with me.
- 11:49Jeremie Kucicek: And when I do, after the meeting, I'll go, okay.
- 11:52Jeremie Kucicek: What what did you see that I did that you wouldn't have thought?
- 11:56Jeremie Kucicek: Like, what was good that you would never have thought of to do that
- 11:59Jeremie Kucicek: maybe I just unconscious confidence do?
- 12:03Jeremie Kucicek: And so that's interesting.
- 12:04Jeremie Kucicek: What could it, where where was their pain?
- 12:06Jeremie Kucicek: What did you see in them?
- 12:08Jeremie Kucicek: What could I have done better?
- 12:09Jeremie Kucicek: Really simple things.
- 12:10Jeremie Kucicek: And then I'll do the same with them.
- 12:12Jeremie Kucicek: Now if I go with them and they do the work, we do curbside
- 12:15Jeremie Kucicek: review.
- 12:16Jeremie Kucicek: So by doing the curbside review, you know it's objective.
- 12:20Jeremie Kucicek: I'm not picking on you.
- 12:21Jeremie Kucicek: I'm not don't get defensive.
- 12:24Jeremie Kucicek: We're just all constant improvement.
- 12:26Lisa Nichols: But Yes.
- 12:27Jeremie Kucicek: If you don't have that, what you had, the ride along or the curbside
- 12:30Jeremie Kucicek: review, then there's no place to get real time
- 12:35Jeremie Kucicek: development.
- 12:36Jeremie Kucicek: And you need to do it right after a meeting.
- 12:39Jeremie Kucicek: Don't wait because people will, you know, get busy,
- 12:43Jeremie Kucicek: and then I can't remember.
- 12:44Jeremie Kucicek: Was it one week ago?
- 12:45Jeremie Kucicek: I don't know.
- 12:46Jeremie Kucicek: I've had ten meetings since.
- 12:48Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 12:49Lisa Nichols: Yeah.
- 12:50Lisa Nichols: For me, it's like, what it what do we even talk about?
- 12:53Jeremie Kucicek: Right.
- 12:54Lisa Nichols: This is like we're moving at such a fast pace.
- 12:57Lisa Nichols: Well, why is this so important?
- 12:59Lisa Nichols: Like, let's let's I mean, you've already said it, like, with AI.
- 13:03Jeremie Kucicek: Yep.
- 13:03Lisa Nichols: AI is the the word, the that
- 13:07Lisa Nichols: I mean, every conversation I have Yeah.
- 13:10Lisa Nichols: Anymore, Jeremie, it's AI.
- 13:12Lisa Nichols: So why is this so important, like, in the AI era?
- 13:14Jeremie Kucicek: So we've we built so this this whole book was built off of the
- 13:18Jeremie Kucicek: five voices.
- 13:18Jeremie Kucicek: So the five voices is our proprietary,
- 13:22Jeremie Kucicek: personality and wiring.
- 13:23Jeremie Kucicek: It's the Mhmm.
- 13:24Jeremie Kucicek: Simplest, we believe, the most practical,
- 13:28Jeremie Kucicek: scalable, personality assessment.
- 13:31Jeremie Kucicek: But we built the Five Voices AI.
- 13:33Jeremie Kucicek: And so now imagine this.
- 13:35Jeremie Kucicek: If you know your wiring so, like, it's it's it's hard if
- 13:39Jeremie Kucicek: to go, I'm an ENFP.
- 13:41Jeremie Kucicek: It's hard to explain it to someone else, or I'm a high d, high
- 13:44Jeremie Kucicek: I, or I'm a seven with a wing eight.
- 13:46Jeremie Kucicek: Other people don't know how to connect.
- 13:48Jeremie Kucicek: But if I go, I'm a connector, you're a nurturer or a creative,
- 13:52Jeremie Kucicek: then then it's easier language.
- 13:54Jeremie Kucicek: Well, we built we built Five Voices AI to for this very,
- 13:59Jeremie Kucicek: issue because, the future of our world is hyper
- 14:04Jeremie Kucicek: personalization
- 14:05Jeremie Kucicek: because it's been so difficult to remember in the past.
- 14:09Jeremie Kucicek: So we built it so anyone on our team, if you if you've all
- 14:12Jeremie Kucicek: taken the assessment, and I know, Lisa, that you're a, let's just say
- 14:16Jeremie Kucicek: you're a pioneer connector.
- 14:17Jeremie Kucicek: Okay?
- 14:18Jeremie Kucicek: I'm Mhmm.
- 14:19Jeremie Kucicek: For for example, and I'm a connector creative, then it
- 14:23Jeremie Kucicek: will automatically tell me, how to deal with you.
- 14:26Jeremie Kucicek: So I could say, hey.
- 14:27Jeremie Kucicek: I need to give a a performance review.
- 14:30Jeremie Kucicek: Take this performance review and tailor it to Lisa.
- 14:33Jeremie Kucicek: So it now does the work of hyper personalizing everything.
- 14:37Jeremie Kucicek: Write this email to her in her language.
- 14:40Jeremie Kucicek: Tell me how she's what did she say as a pioneer connector?
- 14:44Jeremie Kucicek: What was that email?
- 14:44Jeremie Kucicek: What does she mean by that?
- 14:46Jeremie Kucicek: So now what it's doing is I'm hyper personalizing based on you.
- 14:51Jeremie Kucicek: So the voice driven leader means that I'm using the best of AI.
- 14:55Jeremie Kucicek: I'm using great leadership principles, but I'm customizing it
- 15:00Jeremie Kucicek: specifically to your language.
- 15:02Lisa Nichols: There's so good.
- 15:04Jeremie Kucicek: There's five voices, but there's sixteen variations of those voices.
- 15:08Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 15:09Jeremie Kucicek: Though, therefore, there's sixteen different variations of personality in
- 15:13Jeremie Kucicek: the ecosystem of our world.
- 15:15Jeremie Kucicek: Well, if I can leverage AI to customize a sales
- 15:19Jeremie Kucicek: proposal
- 15:21Jeremie Kucicek: or a pitch or, PDF or we've even taken
- 15:25Jeremie Kucicek: it we've even taken books now.
- 15:26Jeremie Kucicek: We've taken chapters of books, and I've been working on this.
- 15:30Jeremie Kucicek: I've been taking it and putting it into my voice's AI to customize
- 15:35Jeremie Kucicek: a chapter to be rewritten to a nurturer from a pioneer.
- 15:39Jeremie Kucicek: Same
- 15:39Lisa Nichols: Oh my goodness.
- 15:41Jeremie Kucicek: Same content just written differently with different,
- 15:46Jeremie Kucicek: inclinations and different idioms to to connect with that person.
- 15:50Jeremie Kucicek: That's the the crazy part of what AI can do.
- 15:54Lisa Nichols: Yes.
- 15:55Lisa Nichols: Oh my goodness.
- 15:56Lisa Nichols: That is amazing.
- 15:57Lisa Nichols: Wow.
- 15:58Lisa Nichols: I love it.
- 15:59Lisa Nichols: So, really, this tool is going to help the voice
- 16:03Lisa Nichols: driven leader
- 16:06Lisa Nichols: with with every unique person on their team.
- 16:10Jeremie Kucicek: That's right.
- 16:10Jeremie Kucicek: And it and it starts with the first phase of the foundation stage.
- 16:14Jeremie Kucicek: We use the development square, and we go use the development square as
- 16:18Jeremie Kucicek: a road map to go, okay.
- 16:19Jeremie Kucicek: You've got a brand new employee.
- 16:21Jeremie Kucicek: Okay?
- 16:21Jeremie Kucicek: That's the foundation stage.
- 16:22Jeremie Kucicek: It's called onboarding.
- 16:24Jeremie Kucicek: We know that.
- 16:25Jeremie Kucicek: But the onboarding stage, of a new employee, well,
- 16:29Jeremie Kucicek: who are you and who are they?
- 16:31Jeremie Kucicek: So that's where it starts.
- 16:32Jeremie Kucicek: So Mhmm.
- 16:33Jeremie Kucicek: It's all about expectation management.
- 16:36Jeremie Kucicek: So if you know, like, what are their expectations?
- 16:39Jeremie Kucicek: So a guardian let me give you an example.
- 16:41Jeremie Kucicek: A guardian, they want detail, practical.
- 16:44Jeremie Kucicek: They like check marks.
- 16:46Jeremie Kucicek: They like to okay.
- 16:46Jeremie Kucicek: I did a, then b, then c, then d, then e.
- 16:49Jeremie Kucicek: Well, if you're a connector like me, we're spontaneous.
- 16:54Jeremie Kucicek: We're like, hey.
- 16:55Jeremie Kucicek: Let's just figure it out.
- 16:56Jeremie Kucicek: Or I want you to go spend time with with Jenny.
- 16:59Jeremie Kucicek: I want you to go spend time with Tom.
- 17:00Jeremie Kucicek: You spend time with Greg.
- 17:02Jeremie Kucicek: But it's, like, not the road map that that person actually needs
- 17:06Jeremie Kucicek: to thrive.
- 17:08Jeremie Kucicek: Though they're gonna always feel like they're not prepared.
- 17:11Jeremie Kucicek: So if I know that that they're a guardian, then I build a guardian
- 17:15Jeremie Kucicek: road map.
- 17:16Jeremie Kucicek: Now I can use AI.
- 17:18Jeremie Kucicek: Hey.
- 17:18Jeremie Kucicek: For a guardian, here's what I wanna accomplish.
- 17:21Jeremie Kucicek: Could you build a checklist system for them?
- 17:25Jeremie Kucicek: And so now it's specifically giving them an onboarding category that's totally
- 17:29Jeremie Kucicek: different than a nurturer.
- 17:30Jeremie Kucicek: Who a nurturer, they wanna feel connected to the team.
- 17:33Jeremie Kucicek: They want they they wanna know how they can
- 17:36Lisa Nichols: help.
- 17:37Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 17:38Jeremie Kucicek: Versus a pioneer.
- 17:39Jeremie Kucicek: It's like, hey, guys.
- 17:40Jeremie Kucicek: Just tell me where how do we win?
- 17:42Lisa Nichols: We gotta go.
- 17:43Jeremie Kucicek: What are we doing?
- 17:44Jeremie Kucicek: Like, let's don't don't waste time.
- 17:46Jeremie Kucicek: I have to read all this.
- 17:48Jeremie Kucicek: I have to do all this.
- 17:49Lisa Nichols: Yes.
- 17:50Jeremie Kucicek: So that's the dynamic.
- 17:51Jeremie Kucicek: It's like if you can take people through the foundation stage, then they
- 17:55Jeremie Kucicek: turn the corner, into the immersion stage, which then you start
- 18:00Jeremie Kucicek: immersing them into their responsibility and their role.
- 18:03Jeremie Kucicek: And that's where their confidence and their competency drop
- 18:07Jeremie Kucicek: because they're consciously aware that they don't know what they're doing yet.
- 18:11Jeremie Kucicek: And so that's where faking it to make it usually happens.
- 18:15Jeremie Kucicek: And then some personalities end up in the bottom right corner of the development
- 18:19Jeremie Kucicek: square, and it's all in the book.
- 18:20Jeremie Kucicek: We have this thing totally mapped out, charts, all of it.
- 18:24Jeremie Kucicek: But in the bottom right corner, it sets the pit of despair.
- 18:27Jeremie Kucicek: And what happens is this is the highest level of insecurity
- 18:31Jeremie Kucicek: and incompetence
- 18:33Jeremie Kucicek: and where people are like, I don't know if this is for me.
- 18:36Jeremie Kucicek: I don't think I'm gonna make it.
- 18:38Lisa Nichols: Be right.
- 18:39Jeremie Kucicek: And it might and usually, anyone who goes in the pit of despair, they
- 18:43Jeremie Kucicek: they clock in in the mornings at your office, and then they they go
- 18:46Jeremie Kucicek: downstairs with the three other people then in the pit of despair.
- 18:50Jeremie Kucicek: And they're like, yeah.
- 18:51Jeremie Kucicek: Who pushed you in here?
- 18:52Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 18:52Jeremie Kucicek: Lisa?
- 18:53Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 18:53Jeremie Kucicek: I know.
- 18:54Jeremie Kucicek: She's the worst.
- 18:54Jeremie Kucicek: And then they gossip, and the stress behavior shows up in the pit of
- 18:58Jeremie Kucicek: despair.
- 18:59Jeremie Kucicek: And the larger the company, the more people are independent of despair.
- 19:03Jeremie Kucicek: So what we're saying is, like, if you're a leader, it you can't
- 19:07Jeremie Kucicek: you have to avoid it at all costs.
- 19:09Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 19:09Jeremie Kucicek: Because if they go into pit of despair, we've never seen anyone make it
- 19:13Jeremie Kucicek: out and be helpful.
- 19:15Lisa Nichols: It's toxic.
- 19:16Jeremie Kucicek: They have to they have to leave.
- 19:18Jeremie Kucicek: You either have to help them leave or they're going to leave.
- 19:21Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 19:22Jeremie Kucicek: So that that pivot from the foundation stage to the immersion
- 19:26Jeremie Kucicek: stage to the empowerment stage, that's when they consciously
- 19:30Jeremie Kucicek: get it.
- 19:32Jeremie Kucicek: Oh, got it.
- 19:34Jeremie Kucicek: And they lock in and their confidence starts rising.
- 19:37Jeremie Kucicek: They start getting better and better and better, and then they start going in
- 19:41Jeremie Kucicek: the right direction, but there's another trap.
- 19:43Jeremie Kucicek: There's a trap over here to pit her despair.
- 19:45Jeremie Kucicek: We've avoided it.
- 19:46Jeremie Kucicek: The other trap is called the green room, and the green room is when
- 19:50Jeremie Kucicek: you get, an employee who maybe maybe they think they're all
- 19:54Jeremie Kucicek: that.
- 19:55Jeremie Kucicek: They get cocky, and they get into the green room, and that's where the
- 19:58Jeremie Kucicek: snacks are meant for the people on stage and not for them.
- 20:02Jeremie Kucicek: And or you put them there because they're the
- 20:06Jeremie Kucicek: teacher's pet.
- 20:07Jeremie Kucicek: They're your favorite.
- 20:08Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 20:09Jeremie Kucicek: And you're like, hey, Lisa.
- 20:09Jeremie Kucicek: You don't need to read that.
- 20:11Jeremie Kucicek: You're good.
- 20:11Jeremie Kucicek: And then other people see that he doesn't need to read it because you're
- 20:15Jeremie Kucicek: and so or they they are, like, they're the guardians
- 20:20Jeremie Kucicek: or nurtures that don't they they finally perfected their work, and they
- 20:24Jeremie Kucicek: don't wanna have to relearn something new.
- 20:27Lisa Nichols: Mhmm.
- 20:28Jeremie Kucicek: So a lot of times people will stay in this comfort area.
- 20:31Jeremie Kucicek: So you go to the pit of despair.
- 20:33Jeremie Kucicek: Let's keep away insecurity.
- 20:35Jeremie Kucicek: Yes.
- 20:35Jeremie Kucicek: Green room, over secure, or comfort
- 20:39Jeremie Kucicek: where that last stage is now multiplication.
- 20:42Jeremie Kucicek: Like, no.
- 20:43Jeremie Kucicek: I need you to help me train other people.
- 20:47Jeremie Kucicek: I need you to help me because I'm gonna get promoted, and I need
- 20:50Jeremie Kucicek: you to take my job.
- 20:51Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 20:52Jeremie Kucicek: So you gotta multiply, but then there's more incompetence,
- 20:56Jeremie Kucicek: unconscious or you're just conscious incompetence.
- 20:59Lisa Nichols: Unconscious incompetence.
- 21:00Jeremie Kucicek: I've gotta learn more things.
- 21:03Jeremie Kucicek: And so the square, you're always developing.
- 21:06Jeremie Kucicek: Right now, most people are learning how to use AI, and it's like a
- 21:09Jeremie Kucicek: development process.
- 21:11Lisa Nichols: Yes.
- 21:11Jeremie Kucicek: And so we're always learning something, but the square is an actual
- 21:15Jeremie Kucicek: road map.
- 21:16Jeremie Kucicek: So if you know the voice and you know who you are, who they
- 21:20Jeremie Kucicek: are, where are they on the square right now, Then you can use
- 21:24Jeremie Kucicek: the five voices AI to go, I've gotta nurture a guardian.
- 21:27Jeremie Kucicek: How do I keep them out of the pit of despair?
- 21:30Jeremie Kucicek: It tells you.
- 21:32Jeremie Kucicek: You just follow it.
- 21:33Lisa Nichols: So good, Jeremie.
- 21:35Lisa Nichols: I'm just thinking every organization needs to
- 21:39Lisa Nichols: to use this methodology.
- 21:41Lisa Nichols: Yeah.
- 21:42Lisa Nichols: They do.
- 21:42Lisa Nichols: You know?
- 21:43Jeremie Kucicek: And we just certify people to do it.
- 21:44Jeremie Kucicek: We just teach you how to do it, and then you Right.
- 21:46Lisa Nichols: Then you
- 21:47Jeremie Kucicek: run with it.
- 21:48Lisa Nichols: Yeah.
- 21:49Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 21:50Lisa Nichols: So, yeah, I'm I'm kinda getting off my,
- 21:54Lisa Nichols: what I was gonna ask you.
- 21:55Lisa Nichols: But, I mean, when you are working with an organization,
- 21:59Lisa Nichols: tell our listeners how that works.
- 22:00Lisa Nichols: I mean, so you find a master champion or a master
- 22:05Lisa Nichols: person that would get certified, and then that person within the organization
- 22:09Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 22:10Lisa Nichols: We Or if you don't do that, I'm sure one of your coaches Yeah.
- 22:13Jeremie Kucicek: We could We
- 22:14Lisa Nichols: it's it depends.
- 22:14Lisa Nichols: Too.
- 22:15Jeremie Kucicek: It it's all based on the size of your organization.
- 22:17Jeremie Kucicek: We we call them a catalyst.
- 22:19Jeremie Kucicek: They get trained on the system.
- 22:21Jeremie Kucicek: And then Mhmm.
- 22:22Jeremie Kucicek: They run the system.
- 22:23Jeremie Kucicek: And with the system, there's it it's like the implementation of the five voices,
- 22:27Jeremie Kucicek: and then they teach them how to use the five voices AI in their
- 22:30Jeremie Kucicek: everyday world.
- 22:32Jeremie Kucicek: And it's it's AI, but it's so different because now it's hyper customized
- 22:36Jeremie Kucicek: of every person on your team.
- 22:38Jeremie Kucicek: And so and and we've actually, built it.
- 22:42Jeremie Kucicek: It's actually cheaper than if you bought just ChatTBT for your people.
- 22:46Jeremie Kucicek: So it's really interesting how, you know, we built our LLM.
- 22:50Jeremie Kucicek: But by doing it, now I'm using Five Voices AI,
- 22:54Jeremie Kucicek: then you can use an outside consultant if you need because sometimes,
- 22:59Jeremie Kucicek: the outside voice,
- 23:01Jeremie Kucicek: and or you're so busy, you can't do all these things, so you'll use
- 23:05Jeremie Kucicek: a consultant as well or a coach as well.
- 23:08Jeremie Kucicek: It just depends on what your culture's like.
- 23:10Jeremie Kucicek: But what we did is we tried to remove all the barriers of time.
- 23:15Jeremie Kucicek: We made it where you can do this in record time.
- 23:18Jeremie Kucicek: You can implement it.
- 23:19Jeremie Kucicek: And then AI, people are used to it.
- 23:22Jeremie Kucicek: But now once you know your people, it's a competitive advantage.
- 23:26Jeremie Kucicek: And now it just becomes, so crazy.
- 23:29Jeremie Kucicek: In fact, we built another piece, another, we
- 23:33Jeremie Kucicek: split out one of our teams to build another business that's called Workplace,
- 23:38Jeremie Kucicek: and now we we're using AI to,
- 23:42Jeremie Kucicek: audit culture in real time like a stock ticker.
- 23:45Jeremie Kucicek: But we what we do is we take Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or
- 23:50Jeremie Kucicek: Slack, and we can give you a minute by minute culture score.
- 23:54Jeremie Kucicek: So if you send an email out, you can see the culture go down
- 23:57Jeremie Kucicek: or up.
- 23:58Jeremie Kucicek: And what it does is it basically keeps it shows burnout, psychological
- 24:03Jeremie Kucicek: safety.
- 24:03Jeremie Kucicek: It shows employee engagement in real time, so you don't
- 24:07Jeremie Kucicek: need surveys anymore.
- 24:09Jeremie Kucicek: So we've just eliminated surveys, and that's the kind of stuff that we're doing
- 24:13Jeremie Kucicek: with human kind of psychology, leadership,
- 24:17Jeremie Kucicek: personality.
- 24:19Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 24:19Lisa Nichols: Well and I'm just thinking when you get that culture index or
- 24:23Lisa Nichols: culture score in real time, it allows you
- 24:28Lisa Nichols: to map what just happened Yeah.
- 24:30Lisa Nichols: Really back to kind of how everyone's feeling.
- 24:33Lisa Nichols: Right?
- 24:33Lisa Nichols: And sometimes you you kind of lose that in in
- 24:38Lisa Nichols: the pace at which everything goes.
- 24:40Lisa Nichols: But I'm just thinking it gives you the opportunity then to pivot.
- 24:43Jeremie Kucicek: It's like employee confidence.
- 24:45Jeremie Kucicek: It's like it's like the stock market.
- 24:47Jeremie Kucicek: Every day, you watch the stock market go up and down based on the
- 24:50Jeremie Kucicek: factors.
- 24:51Lisa Nichols: That is so good.
- 24:52Lisa Nichols: Well, Jeremie, we do need to take a quick break, and we'll be right
- 24:54Lisa Nichols: back with Jeremie Kubicek, and we're gonna talk about lots more here.
- 24:57Lisa Nichols: So, just in a little bit, we'll be right back with Jeremie.
- 25:01AD: In business, the tendency is to seek out partners who are bigger, faster,
- 25:06AD: stronger.
- 25:06AD: When it comes to IT, you should be looking for smarter, faster, better.

- 25:31Lisa Nichols: Welcome back, everyone, to the Something Extra podcast with my friend,
- 25:35Lisa Nichols: Jeremie Kubicek.
- 25:36Lisa Nichols: It's been so much fun, Jeremie, talking to you, but we've been talking about
- 25:41Lisa Nichols: developing people in our organizations.
- 25:44Lisa Nichols: What is that gonna look like in the future?
- 25:46Lisa Nichols: We may have a lot of CHROs or leadership development people
- 25:50Lisa Nichols: on the that are listening.
- 25:51Lisa Nichols: And, I mean, just a leader in general.
- 25:53Lisa Nichols: I mean, all of us need to learn what that's gonna look like for
- 25:57Lisa Nichols: the future.
- 25:58Jeremie Kucicek: I think, everyone's been we hear the clickbait of, like, well, there's
- 26:02Jeremie Kucicek: gonna be like, there's no jobs in the future, and you're not gonna have
- 26:05Jeremie Kucicek: salaries, and you hear Elon Musk talk about this and that.
- 26:08Jeremie Kucicek: I will say the speed,
- 26:11Jeremie Kucicek: of change
- 26:13Jeremie Kucicek: is dramatic.
- 26:14Jeremie Kucicek: And, you know, you're gonna find a lot of it is about efficiency and
- 26:18Jeremie Kucicek: how efficient.
- 26:19Jeremie Kucicek: And if you've if you've done any AI true work,
- 26:23Jeremie Kucicek: like, I build GPTs, and I create these processes, and
- 26:28Jeremie Kucicek: it's unbelievable how much I can get done now and how fast.
- 26:32Jeremie Kucicek: Yes.
- 26:33Jeremie Kucicek: And so, therefore, the speed is, like, something we're gonna have to catch up
- 26:36Jeremie Kucicek: to.
- 26:37Jeremie Kucicek: But imagine this, like, in the future,
- 26:40Jeremie Kucicek: you may be managing,
- 26:44Jeremie Kucicek: your team might be three or four chat, you know, agents
- 26:48Jeremie Kucicek: and three or four real people.
- 26:50Jeremie Kucicek: And so now consider, how do you manage people and agents
- 26:55Jeremie Kucicek: that are talking as if they are people and employees?
- 27:00Jeremie Kucicek: And getting your mind around that, and that's going to be a thing faster
- 27:04Jeremie Kucicek: than we even imagine.
- 27:06Jeremie Kucicek: Getting to the point of, like, optimist robot in your world,
- 27:11Jeremie Kucicek: walking around your office probably in early twenty seven.
- 27:16Jeremie Kucicek: I mean, like, a year from now.
- 27:18Jeremie Kucicek: Like, I've already told my wife we're probably going to have, we'll probably have
- 27:22Jeremie Kucicek: an Optimus robot at Christmas.
- 27:24Jeremie Kucicek: So that would be our Christmas present.
- 27:27Lisa Nichols: Oh my goodness.
- 27:27Jeremie Kucicek: And so we've already considered, like, okay.
- 27:30Jeremie Kucicek: What does it look like?
- 27:30Jeremie Kucicek: How's it gonna work?
- 27:31Jeremie Kucicek: Is it ready?
- 27:32Jeremie Kucicek: And is it this Christmas?
- 27:34Jeremie Kucicek: Is it next Christmas?
- 27:35Jeremie Kucicek: But my point is within this frame of time,
- 27:39Jeremie Kucicek: the present, it's going to be a thing.
- 27:42Jeremie Kucicek: And those things are going to be so it's almost like when the
- 27:46Jeremie Kucicek: iPhone came out of, like, wow.
- 27:48Jeremie Kucicek: That's a look at but on steroids, twenty times that.
- 27:52Jeremie Kucicek: Okay.
- 27:52Jeremie Kucicek: So if you're a leader, you have to there's a couple of things.
- 27:57Jeremie Kucicek: That change is going to create stress significantly.
- 28:01Jeremie Kucicek: So by learning the five voices, it gives your it
- 28:05Jeremie Kucicek: gives the stress response.
- 28:06Jeremie Kucicek: It's predictive stress behavior.
- 28:09Jeremie Kucicek: So if you understand a guardian under stress, they're going to start interrogating
- 28:14Jeremie Kucicek: because they want answers.
- 28:15Jeremie Kucicek: They're trying to figure it out.
- 28:16Jeremie Kucicek: Creative under stress, they're going to hulk out or be snarky
- 28:20Jeremie Kucicek: and sarcastic a little bit.
- 28:22Jeremie Kucicek: The connector, under stress.
- 28:24Jeremie Kucicek: They're going to do cyber warfare.
- 28:25Jeremie Kucicek: They're gonna slander and be frustrated and talk out loud.
- 28:28Jeremie Kucicek: The pioneer, under stress, they're going to blow things up and be a
- 28:32Jeremie Kucicek: bulldozer.
- 28:33Jeremie Kucicek: The nurturer, under stress, last one, they're gonna withhold care, and they start
- 28:37Jeremie Kucicek: abdicating and become a wallflower.
- 28:39Jeremie Kucicek: So if you know the dynamics, change produces
- 28:44Jeremie Kucicek: stress.
- 28:45Jeremie Kucicek: And we're going to be entering into a stressful season
- 28:50Jeremie Kucicek: because of the amount of change, the speed of change, and
- 28:54Jeremie Kucicek: the direct impact it has on workers.
- 28:57Jeremie Kucicek: So, like, ninety percent of workers right now work for other people.
- 29:00Jeremie Kucicek: I call them o's.
- 29:02Jeremie Kucicek: Their o is they work for other people, and, the bigger
- 29:06Jeremie Kucicek: the o, like a director, a VP, a CEO is a bigger
- 29:10Jeremie Kucicek: o.
- 29:11Jeremie Kucicek: Ten percent of the population I call x's, they work for themselves, and
- 29:15Jeremie Kucicek: they might have multiple businesses.
- 29:18Jeremie Kucicek: Like, in my case right now, I have nine companies that I'm overseeing,
- 29:22Jeremie Kucicek: and that I'm a either owner, founder, whatever of.
- 29:25Lisa Nichols: Mhmm.
- 29:26Jeremie Kucicek: So I'm an x.
- 29:28Jeremie Kucicek: Well, an x is gonna live different than an o.
- 29:30Jeremie Kucicek: Well, it's ninety ten.
- 29:32Jeremie Kucicek: But in probably two, three years, it will be sixty forty.
- 29:36Jeremie Kucicek: Sixty percent owes.
- 29:38Jeremie Kucicek: Thirty percent of those people are gonna be forced to be exes.
- 29:42Jeremie Kucicek: So that right there is, like, we have to be prepared for that,
- 29:46Jeremie Kucicek: and our world's not our our country's not prepared for it.
- 29:49Jeremie Kucicek: People aren't prepared for that.
- 29:51Lisa Nichols: Mhmm.
- 29:51Lisa Nichols: Mhmm.
- 29:51Jeremie Kucicek: So it's like learning of how to, to live in that.
- 29:56Jeremie Kucicek: So So that's gonna be a big part.
- 29:57Jeremie Kucicek: So my point is is that if you're a team leader, if you lead
- 30:01Jeremie Kucicek: people, a competitive advantage is learning personality
- 30:06Jeremie Kucicek: and leveraging AI.
- 30:07Jeremie Kucicek: And putting those together
- 30:09Lisa Nichols: Putting them together is gonna be golden.
- 30:12Jeremie Kucicek: Is is going to help you help people, but you're gonna have competitive advantage,
- 30:15Jeremie Kucicek: and that's gonna help you with your own, opportunities
- 30:19Jeremie Kucicek: as well.
- 30:20Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 30:21Lisa Nichols: That's so good.
- 30:22Lisa Nichols: And that's what we want.
- 30:24Lisa Nichols: I mean, we want people to thrive.
- 30:26Lisa Nichols: We want people to flourish.
- 30:27Lisa Nichols: We want,
- 30:29Lisa Nichols: you know, I mean, there's gonna be all kinds of I mean, talking about,
- 30:32Lisa Nichols: like, the speed there.
- 30:33Lisa Nichols: I mean, we don't know.
- 30:34Lisa Nichols: We're gonna be need to be more empathic.
- 30:36Lisa Nichols: We're gonna need to there's so much.
- 30:38Lisa Nichols: It's just gonna elevate so much, I think, Jeremie.
- 30:42Lisa Nichols: Well, let me ask you this.
- 30:44Lisa Nichols: You know, I've you've I mean, how many how many engagements
- 30:48Lisa Nichols: have you guys done?
- 30:49Lisa Nichols: Do you have an idea of how many clients you've helped over the
- 30:53Lisa Nichols: years?
- 30:53Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 30:54Jeremie Kucicek: I mean, ten thousand plus.
- 30:56Jeremie Kucicek: I'd it's gotta be I don't know.
- 30:57Jeremie Kucicek: I don't even know if
- 30:58Lisa Nichols: it's a lot.
- 31:00Lisa Nichols: Can you think of one moment that you've seen when leaders
- 31:04Lisa Nichols: experience, when they begin to recognize the different voices on their team
- 31:08Lisa Nichols: and and how that makes a difference?
- 31:10Lisa Nichols: Have you can you think of an
- 31:12Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 31:12Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 31:12Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 31:13Jeremie Kucicek: I've got one.
- 31:13Jeremie Kucicek: So one actually comes to mind.
- 31:15Jeremie Kucicek: It's actually in college athletics, which is really interesting.
- 31:18Jeremie Kucicek: So it's a it's a college football coach and a specific,
- 31:22Jeremie Kucicek: coach.
- 31:22Jeremie Kucicek: Like, he was a position coach for a top five team.
- 31:26Jeremie Kucicek: And we were working with we've worked with him, for a number of years.
- 31:29Jeremie Kucicek: But for a number of years, he was like, I am who I am.
- 31:33Jeremie Kucicek: My players, you know and he's a guardian, and very
- 31:38Jeremie Kucicek: black and white and very if they don't like it, they can go somewhere
- 31:41Jeremie Kucicek: else.
- 31:41Jeremie Kucicek: That was the well, the transfer portal and
- 31:45Jeremie Kucicek: NIL came around, and players can well, they're so fickle now.
- 31:49Jeremie Kucicek: They'll leave in one one bad coaching
- 31:53Jeremie Kucicek: session, one bad practice, they're out the door.
- 31:57Jeremie Kucicek: So
- 31:58Jeremie Kucicek: he was forced to go, hey.
- 31:59Jeremie Kucicek: Hey.
- 32:00Jeremie Kucicek: Hey.
- 32:00Jeremie Kucicek: I'm losing.
- 32:01Jeremie Kucicek: I can't keep my players because they don't like that style because
- 32:05Jeremie Kucicek: he was only connecting to thirty percent of the population that liked him.
- 32:10Jeremie Kucicek: Because the seventy over seventy percent, they don't want that.
- 32:13Jeremie Kucicek: They don't like that kind of, command and control, old school.
- 32:18Jeremie Kucicek: It just doesn't work anymore.
- 32:19Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 32:19Lisa Nichols: It doesn't.
- 32:20Jeremie Kucicek: So now he's had to, and he's got, like, eleven players in
- 32:24Jeremie Kucicek: his position group.
- 32:26Jeremie Kucicek: And so now we just analyzed all eleven, and we go,
- 32:30Jeremie Kucicek: okay.
- 32:30Jeremie Kucicek: So you've got four creatives.
- 32:32Jeremie Kucicek: You've got two pioneers.
- 32:34Jeremie Kucicek: You've got six nurturers and then the rest are connected.
- 32:38Jeremie Kucicek: And that's crazy.
- 32:39Jeremie Kucicek: So guardian.
- 32:40Jeremie Kucicek: And so then we'll translate for him to go.
- 32:43Jeremie Kucicek: Now these two, they're just like you.
- 32:46Jeremie Kucicek: Okay?
- 32:46Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 32:46Lisa Nichols: They like You got that.
- 32:48Jeremie Kucicek: But but these others are feelers, and you're gonna lose the feelers if
- 32:52Jeremie Kucicek: you don't so you're gonna have to change.
- 32:54Jeremie Kucicek: And specifically in your style and these two moments is where
- 32:58Jeremie Kucicek: most of the friction came from.
- 33:00Jeremie Kucicek: So we're analyzing and helping him now be a voice
- 33:04Jeremie Kucicek: driven leader.
- 33:06Jeremie Kucicek: So walk him out on their shoes.
- 33:07Jeremie Kucicek: No others to lead others.
- 33:09Jeremie Kucicek: And so, you know, you know we know the golden rule.
- 33:12Jeremie Kucicek: Right?
- 33:12Jeremie Kucicek: Do it.
- 33:13Jeremie Kucicek: Do it to others as you wanna
- 33:14Lisa Nichols: as you would have them doing to you.
- 33:15Jeremie Kucicek: But but a lot of that gets taken out of context.
- 33:18Jeremie Kucicek: Well, I don't need a hug.
- 33:19Jeremie Kucicek: Why should you get a hug?
- 33:20Jeremie Kucicek: Why should you need it?
- 33:21Jeremie Kucicek: I didn't get training.
- 33:23Jeremie Kucicek: Why do why do you need it?
- 33:24Jeremie Kucicek: And that's Mhmm.
- 33:25Jeremie Kucicek: The platinum rule is actually the golden rule.
- 33:27Jeremie Kucicek: Do you want to others as they would want done?
- 33:30Jeremie Kucicek: So that's ultimately the golden rule.
- 33:33Jeremie Kucicek: So you're like, okay.
- 33:34Jeremie Kucicek: So now that's the voice driven leader.
- 33:37Jeremie Kucicek: Think about them.
- 33:38Jeremie Kucicek: Who are they?
- 33:39Jeremie Kucicek: Where are they?
- 33:40Jeremie Kucicek: Where do you want to lead them?
- 33:41Jeremie Kucicek: And get really smart and start leading them not
- 33:46Jeremie Kucicek: manipulation.
- 33:47Jeremie Kucicek: It's called it's called intentional,
- 33:51Jeremie Kucicek: acumen, and it's smart.
- 33:53Jeremie Kucicek: And so it's a competitive advantage because in our AI
- 33:57Jeremie Kucicek: world, we're still going to have people, and there's still going to be influence.
- 34:01Jeremie Kucicek: Right.
- 34:02Jeremie Kucicek: And so the most influential people are those that are the most intentional
- 34:07Jeremie Kucicek: with other people.
- 34:09Lisa Nichols: Let me ask you this as you were talking about and specifically this coach,
- 34:12Lisa Nichols: and I'm not saying he's old.
- 34:14Lisa Nichols: I'm not saying that I don't know how old he is.
- 34:16Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 34:17Lisa Nichols: But, I mean, how because people that takes
- 34:22Lisa Nichols: really, I'm thinking he's got two people like him, and he's got all these
- 34:25Lisa Nichols: other players that are not like him.
- 34:28Lisa Nichols: You know, I'm just thinking, the adage keeps coming to me.
- 34:31Lisa Nichols: How do you teach an old dog new tricks?
- 34:33Lisa Nichols: You know, kind of thing.
- 34:34Lisa Nichols: I mean, it's hard work, r ight, Jeremie?
- 34:36Lisa Nichols: I mean And and that is
- 34:38Jeremie Kucicek: a benefit of AI.
- 34:39Jeremie Kucicek: Because Yeah.
- 34:40Jeremie Kucicek: The reason in the past, you're like, oh, I gotta go get trained.
- 34:43Jeremie Kucicek: I've gotta go do all this and that.
- 34:45Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 34:46Jeremie Kucicek: Well, actually, now I'm like The tool.
- 34:49Jeremie Kucicek: How do I help my connector,
- 34:53Jeremie Kucicek: player?
- 34:53Jeremie Kucicek: How do I help him understand this concept?
- 34:57Jeremie Kucicek: It now spits it out.
- 34:58Jeremie Kucicek: Oh, well, remember, you're a guardian.
- 35:00Jeremie Kucicek: He's a connector.
- 35:02Jeremie Kucicek: His tendency is gonna wanna have a lot more fun than you are.
- 35:05Jeremie Kucicek: So you're it tells you.
- 35:08Lisa Nichols: Yeah.
- 35:09Jeremie Kucicek: So now teaching old dogs new tricks, there's actually
- 35:13Jeremie Kucicek: some hacks.
- 35:14Lisa Nichols: There's some hacks and there's some help out there.
- 35:16Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 35:16Lisa Nichols: I mean, you know, Jeremie is so funny.
- 35:19Lisa Nichols: You and Greg are cut from the same path in so many ways because
- 35:22Lisa Nichols: Greg, you know, he's so happy that the AI winter is over and
- 35:26Lisa Nichols: he's just he's loving life right now.
- 35:28Lisa Nichols: But he's like, it's become a friend.
- 35:31Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 35:31Lisa Nichols: I mean, it's become an adviser to him.
- 35:34Lisa Nichols: I mean, you know, I mean, obviously, you have to to check and
- 35:38Lisa Nichols: no.
- 35:38Lisa Nichols: It sometimes it can still hallucinate and that sort of thing.
- 35:41Lisa Nichols: But it's just incredible.
- 35:43Lisa Nichols: I mean, I'm just blown away by,
- 35:47Lisa Nichols: the power of it.
- 35:48Lisa Nichols: Absolutely.
- 35:49Lisa Nichols: Yep.
- 35:50Lisa Nichols: So I all I'm saying is, listeners, if you haven't
- 35:54Lisa Nichols: gone on the bandwagon, you need to.
- 35:56Lisa Nichols: Right?
- 35:57Lisa Nichols: Because you just are not gonna be able to keep up without, embracing
- 36:01Lisa Nichols: it.
- 36:01Lisa Nichols: So well, let me ask you this.
- 36:06Lisa Nichols: You know, and I know that this is huge.
- 36:09Lisa Nichols: I mean, what role does emotional intelligence play
- 36:13Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 36:13Jeremie Kucicek: So
- 36:13Lisa Nichols: in being a voice driven leader.
- 36:15Jeremie Kucicek: Well, now you have to add emotional intelligence with AI.
- 36:19Jeremie Kucicek: You have to add discernment.
- 36:20Jeremie Kucicek: Right?
- 36:21Jeremie Kucicek: And so discernment is like, okay.
- 36:23Jeremie Kucicek: Do I really believe this?
- 36:24Jeremie Kucicek: Is it you're you're not just I don't just look at AI and go.
- 36:27Jeremie Kucicek: I do exactly what it tells me to do.
- 36:30Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 36:30Jeremie Kucicek: It's a it's a tool to give me insights I might not have thought
- 36:33Jeremie Kucicek: of before.
- 36:34Jeremie Kucicek: So emotional intelligence is willingness to understand
- 36:38Jeremie Kucicek: other people.
- 36:39Jeremie Kucicek: So emotional intelligence means it's relational intelligence,
- 36:43Jeremie Kucicek: really.
- 36:44Jeremie Kucicek: It's like, do I understand what it's like to be on the other side
- 36:48Jeremie Kucicek: of me, and am I willing to change?
- 36:50Jeremie Kucicek: Am I do I understand who they are, and am I willing to adapt?
- 36:55Jeremie Kucicek: That's the whole if I'm not willing to adapt and I don't care what
- 36:59Jeremie Kucicek: I then I'm not relationally intelligent, and therefore, I'm not emotionally intelligent.
- 37:03Jeremie Kucicek: And so that's ultimately what this game is.
- 37:06Jeremie Kucicek: The game is, are you are you open?
- 37:10Jeremie Kucicek: So, like, I had, I had a coach.
- 37:12Jeremie Kucicek: This is so funny.
- 37:13Jeremie Kucicek: I had this coach, and I I said to him, I'll just say his
- 37:16Jeremie Kucicek: name's Brian.
- 37:17Jeremie Kucicek: I go, Brian, I've never seen you not
- 37:21Jeremie Kucicek: wear a hat backwards.
- 37:23Jeremie Kucicek: Like, every Zoom call, every time I've ever met him.
- 37:27Jeremie Kucicek: So I'm like, I'm assuming that's who you are with your clients.
- 37:30Jeremie Kucicek: Are they okay with that?
- 37:32Jeremie Kucicek: And he's like, oh, yeah.
- 37:32Jeremie Kucicek: I don't do it with clients.
- 37:34Jeremie Kucicek: And I'm like, okay.
- 37:35Jeremie Kucicek: But do you realize that that we,
- 37:39Jeremie Kucicek: bring leads to lots of our coaches, and I'm not gonna be bringing a
- 37:43Jeremie Kucicek: lot of leads to you because that's how I think you are.
- 37:47Jeremie Kucicek: Every single time I've seen you, are you aware of that?
- 37:50Jeremie Kucicek: Do you know what I mean?
- 37:52Jeremie Kucicek: And it's like a little Yeah.
- 37:53Jeremie Kucicek: Little influence.
- 37:54Jeremie Kucicek: It's a minor thing, but it's a little big thing.
- 37:57Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 37:58Lisa Nichols: But
- 37:58Jeremie Kucicek: it's affecting your ability to earn more
- 38:02Jeremie Kucicek: opportunities.
- 38:03Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 38:04Jeremie Kucicek: Because as you're showing up, I'm thinking you're not serious.
- 38:08Lisa Nichols: Mhmm.
- 38:09Jeremie Kucicek: Or you're No.
- 38:09Jeremie Kucicek: You're not really wanting to
- 38:11Lisa Nichols: Oh, did he stop wearing his hat?
- 38:12Jeremie Kucicek: Well, this this just recently happened.
- 38:14Jeremie Kucicek: We'll see.
- 38:14Lisa Nichols: To refill it.
- 38:16Lisa Nichols: You have to get on a Zoom call with him soon and see.
- 38:20Lisa Nichols: Oh, yeah.
- 38:21Lisa Nichols: That's so good, though.
- 38:23Lisa Nichols: Well, I'll ask you this, and then we're gonna talk about something extra.
- 38:27Lisa Nichols: Do you have a leadership lesson, that you've learned?
- 38:30Lisa Nichols: I mean, you're you're running giant.
- 38:32Lisa Nichols: We've already said tens of thousands of clients, five hundred coaches,
- 38:36Lisa Nichols: five hundred plus coaches.
- 38:38Lisa Nichols: Is there a lesson that you've learned, Jeremie, the hard way?
- 38:42Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 38:42Jeremie Kucicek: Totally.
- 38:43Jeremie Kucicek: I I had, like, ten things flood me.
- 38:45Jeremie Kucicek: Number one, the the thing that what probably this last year was,
- 38:50Jeremie Kucicek: managing expectations,
- 38:53Jeremie Kucicek: really, really well.
- 38:54Jeremie Kucicek: And, as a connector, I'm such an optimist that I can
- 38:58Jeremie Kucicek: sometimes over expect.
- 39:01Jeremie Kucicek: Right.
- 39:02Jeremie Kucicek: And so I had to do some really deep dive.
- 39:05Jeremie Kucicek: In fact, I have, in a few hours, a meeting with, I have a
- 39:09Jeremie Kucicek: little forum I put together of just a few guys.
- 39:13Jeremie Kucicek: Kinda trusted Yeah.
- 39:14Lisa Nichols: Kind of a trusted group, mastermind group.
- 39:16Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 39:16Jeremie Kucicek: Just but it's not too big.
- 39:18Jeremie Kucicek: I mean, I'm I'm in YPO.
- 39:19Jeremie Kucicek: I'm in lots of things, but this is like they know me, know me.
- 39:22Jeremie Kucicek: And, and so I'm meeting with this group to really go through
- 39:26Jeremie Kucicek: my expectations for twenty twenty six and go, are these realistic?
- 39:30Jeremie Kucicek: Are they on because I continue to do try too much in a year.
- 39:34Jeremie Kucicek: Mhmm.
- 39:35Jeremie Kucicek: And so,
- 39:37Jeremie Kucicek: that was probably an a thing I was reminded of this year is managing
- 39:41Jeremie Kucicek: expectations,
- 39:43Jeremie Kucicek: makes everything better.
- 39:46Jeremie Kucicek: And so when you when you have too high of expectations and or you
- 39:50Jeremie Kucicek: don't manage them appropriately or you can create bitterness and
- 39:54Jeremie Kucicek: frustration.
- 39:55Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 39:55Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 39:56Lisa Nichols: Right.
- 39:57Lisa Nichols: Very good.
- 39:58Lisa Nichols: Well, let's talk about something extra.
- 39:59Jeremie Kucicek: Yes.
- 40:00Lisa Nichols: So in twenty twenty four, when you were on the the podcast,
- 40:05Lisa Nichols: again, listeners, episode two seventy one, go back and listen to it.
- 40:08Lisa Nichols: It's so good.
- 40:09Lisa Nichols: It's also Jeremie's story is also in the something extra book,
- 40:13Lisa Nichols: by the way, and I've had so many people tell me they love love
- 40:17Lisa Nichols: to read that story.
- 40:19Lisa Nichols: But, here's what you said.
- 40:20Lisa Nichols: You said when I asked you, what is the something extra every leader needs,
- 40:24Lisa Nichols: Jeremie?
- 40:24Lisa Nichols: You said leaders need to do the work on knowing who they really are,
- 40:28Lisa Nichols: knowing what their identity is.
- 40:30Lisa Nichols: When you understand your superpowers, you can then show up and bring
- 40:35Lisa Nichols: a life to other people.
- 40:37Lisa Nichols: So now we're in twenty twenty six.
- 40:40Lisa Nichols: Jeremie, is there anything you would add to that?
- 40:42Jeremie Kucicek: Yeah.
- 40:42Jeremie Kucicek: So it's vital, that you lead yourself.
- 40:46Jeremie Kucicek: You can't give what you don't possess.
- 40:47Jeremie Kucicek: Right?
- 40:47Jeremie Kucicek: So you have to lead yourself.
- 40:49Jeremie Kucicek: So the the way that I would encourage you, because our minds can trick
- 40:53Jeremie Kucicek: ourselves.
- 40:54Jeremie Kucicek: In the mornings, I would encourage you to do a call up session.
- 40:58Jeremie Kucicek: Every single morning, I do this.
- 40:59Jeremie Kucicek: I did it this morning.
- 41:00Jeremie Kucicek: I call myself into the role and my authority into
- 41:05Jeremie Kucicek: who I am, my identity.
- 41:07Jeremie Kucicek: And by doing that, I just remind myself who I
- 41:11Jeremie Kucicek: am versus calling yourself out.
- 41:13Jeremie Kucicek: And I I've coached so many executives that,
- 41:18Jeremie Kucicek: there's this negative voice that gets allowed in.
- 41:21Jeremie Kucicek: Like, you're an idiot.
- 41:23Jeremie Kucicek: Why do you do that?
- 41:24Jeremie Kucicek: Stop.
- 41:25Jeremie Kucicek: You you did it again.
- 41:27Jeremie Kucicek: Like, that negative voice, it literally has to be squashed.
- 41:31Jeremie Kucicek: It has to be, like, eradicated.
- 41:33Jeremie Kucicek: You have to eradicate negativity.
- 41:35Jeremie Kucicek: So learning to call yourself up, not out, is a
- 41:39Jeremie Kucicek: secret of high performing leaders.
- 41:41Jeremie Kucicek: So then as you call yourself up now I I do it from a
- 41:45Jeremie Kucicek: faith perspective sometimes.
- 41:47Jeremie Kucicek: Right.
