And the sequence of events that led these people to where they are today, I think is fascinating, you can learn a lot about somebody's story. And sometimes, they started off in a field that's totally different to where they ended up. So this is what I'm thinking, I'm going to keep the question, what's your story? And who are you? Where did you come from? Because I think, you know, we all love to hear somebody's story, right. And of course, some of the challenges that we're all faced with. And I think we have to recognize what's what's going on in the world right now. But for season three, I think we need to go deeper. And then that gives people something to really grab on to and a structure.
And in fact, my experience and the interviews that I've conducted in season one, and season two allowed me to put together that document the 21 traits of authentic leaders. Okay, so here we are today, and we're getting ready to start season three.īut it seems to me that we've all evolved, we understand the basics of authentic leadership. And then I've spotted in some solo episodes for some self reflection and commentary on certain aspects of authentic leadership. And then I've been bringing in some subject matter experts, so we can go a little deeper into certain areas. And when we started the podcast, season one and season two, we've been doing exactly that. Now, the podcast, as you know, the mission of the podcast is to provide authentic leaders, interviews, where we can learn from authentic leaders as to how they practice authentic leadership every single day. And then as I was talking about that, with this young leaders group, I thought, you know, I need to do the exact same thing, I need to take some of my own advice. Question, the meetings that you're involved with? Why are they there? What are you trying to accomplish? Start with that discussion start to open things up a little bit. And they said, Well, how do we start? You know, what do we what do we do? And one of the things I told them was, well, just start with your meeting cadence. And they were asking me about authentic leadership. The other day, I was at a Young Leaders Conference. And we've been taking a break from our podcast interviews, to refresh, take a step back, we think, where we're going, what we're doing, how we're doing it, why we're doing it, ask ourselves all of those questions.

If we describe the stimulus and the physical response, the reader will conclude fear without our having to use the word. A black snake slithered across the walkway into the bushes on her right. She shrieked and jumped backward, every muscle tense. As she walked along the path, something long and black leapt out of the bushes. But if we stay rooted in the viewpoint character’s body and record their visceral response, we get a more emotionally resonant result.ĭense bushes lined the walkway leading to the front door.
New writers tend to skip the first step and go straight to the brain’s conclusion. First emotions are felt in the body, and then they are processed in the brain. But for maximum emotional effect, we can go even deeper. A relevant simile does ramp up the drama. Using a metaphor or simile- Fear constricted her heart like a boa-is better, although it still labels the emotion. If the character sees a snake and the writer puts “she was afraid,” the psychic distance will be distant, as if we’re watching the character through a camera. The goal is to make the reader feel what the character feels. So authors, both of fiction and of narrative nonfiction, need to go beyond telling the reader how a character feels. Readers come to narrative stories for an emotional experience. One of the most frequent comments editors make on new writers’ manuscripts is to go deeper into characters’ emotions.
