The Learning Leader Show With Ryan Hawk

As Kobe Bryant once said, “There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.” That’s why the Learning Leader Show exists—to understand the journeys of other leaders so that we can better understand our own. This show is full of learnings taught by world-class leaders—personal stories of successes, failures, and lessons learned along the way. Our guests come from diverse backgrounds—CEOs of multi-billion dollar companies, best-selling authors, Navy SEALs, and professional athletes. My role in this endeavor is to talk to the most thoughtful, accomplished, and intentional leaders in the world so that we can learn from them as we each create our own journeys.

Ep #395: Dr. Marisa Porges

Notes:

  • Keys to a good coffee meeting with someone:
    • Be early
    • Find a quiet spot
    • Know your order before you get there. Don't make it too complex
    • Have a goal for the meeting. Know what you want to get out of it
  • "You don’t have to be a feminist to care about these lessons, nor do you need a daughter or a sister. You just have to know a girl or young woman and care about her future."
  • The differences for a woman vs. a man in business:
    • Women have fewer mentors and sponsors
      • "You need to seek mentors on a regular basis"
      • "Men need to mentor women" -- "Make room for women mentees"
      • What should the man who is nervous to mentor a woman do?
        • Meet in a public place
        • Talk about business
  • Key to excellence: The ability to adapt
    • Marisa joined the Navy after High School. She was inspired by the movie Top Gun
    • She got in a bad car accident and had to be rescued by the jaws of life
    • She had to shave her head in the Navy
    • "Our reality forces us to adapt. We change jobs 4x more than our parents did."
  • How to be adaptable?
    • Be open to pushing yourself to new environments
      • Test yourself in a new environment. Don't always set up for the perfect environment
      • Do something differently -- Test your boundaries
  • How to be authentically empathetic?
    • The platinum rule -- Treat others as they want to be treated (not how you want to be treated)
    • Be vulnerable, open, and real
    • While interviewing terrorists in Yemen, Marisa got them to open up by authentically opening up first
      • "Be conscious about when and how you're vulnerable. It can't be too often. Monitor your emotions."
  • Look for go for it moments... Learn to rebound from failure and understand the key takeaways from them. Be able to deal with uncertainty.
  • Marisa shares a story about a parent of one of her students. Marc. His daughter was going through an issue at school. Marc said, “I went into Dad mode and said should I call the school? Talk to a teacher? —- This is a terrible way to respond as the dad of a daughter. A dad needs to "coach from the sideline." Help your daughter practice self advocacy. Ask them questions, be curious. Help your daughter find her voice and speak up. One easy example to practice -- "When you go out to eat, always have your daughter order her food. When you call to order a pizza, have your daughter do it."
  • Marisa worked in the White House and needed to become an excellent communicator to prepare for her conversations with The President. How did she do this? "Practice, practice practice."
  • Excellence:
    • How we learn from failure and bounce back... What happens next?
    • It's always about the others in your life. Who are you surrounding yourself with?
    • Small things make a big difference
