The concept of leadership is a good one, but is it possible that we've turned it into a list of behaviors we "do" in order to get people to do what we think they should do? Dr. Neal Schnoor, Senior Advisor to the Chancellor of UNK, presents an interesting proposition to focus on influence, rather than leadership. In this interview we discuss: * The nature of influence * Grappling with faith and belief while seeking peace for a creative mind * The power of embracing and growing through our pain * Reducing anxiety * UNFROZEN: Stop Holding Back and Release the Real You Connect with Dr. Neal Schnoor here: * Linked In Learn about how our Team Performance System and Personal Brand Strategy can Help You Serve Well and Sell More at  www.voiceofinfluence.net   Read the transcript here:   https://www.voiceofinfluence.net/14 Give and receive feedback that makes a difference!

In this Voice Studio episode we talk about the fact that Anna LeBaron and Ruth Wariner each eventually trusted their intuition or inner voice that said it was time to escape their violent polygamist cult. The question is, how can we call that out in others instead of just rescuing them and creating a new dependence? Their inner voice matters. Mentioned in this episode: A Family Miracle: Polygamist Cult Survivors Part 1 & 2 Episode 07 Episode 08

In the fall of 2015, Anna LeBaron (author THE POLYGAMIST'S DAUGHTER) sent a Tweet via Twitter to a new author she wanted to support. Unbeknownst to her, the author, Ruth Wariner, was her cousin. She is the daughter of Joel LeBaron, who was killed by his brother Ervil LeBaron's followers in 1972. Anna LeBaron accidentally broke a decades' old silence between their families with a simple Tweet. But after a tenuous introduction through social media, the cousins bridged the gap between their families and Anna offered to help Ruth promote her book, New York Times Bestseller, THE SOUND OF GRAVEL. In part 2 of this interview, the women discuss their healing journey and advice they have for others who feel trapped.
