Talented employees add to the success of an organization, but great teams MULTIPLY success. This video explains how to have both.

Sometimes, parents just don't understand. For generations, parents have feared that the latest and greatest gadgets would fry their kids' brains, ruin their work ethic, or destroy their tiny, fragile moral compasses. Just pick any point in history. Radio, television, video games, and even books have all been accused of corrupting the youth. I mean...kids today, right? Well, usually the kids turn out just fine, the newest technology eventually integrates into our lives, and life goes on.

"Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything." - Steve Jobs while announcing the iPhone back in 2007.

Yeah. This time it really is different.

A surprising lesson about leadership that I accidentally learned from my high school math teacher.

You want to zig where they zag? Your biggest business opportunity of 2020 is staring you in the face - but you're sending them to a screen instead. It's time for businesses to start prioritizing human connection instead of digital trends and measurable metrics. Those only produce a slight edge while human connection gives you a huge advantage.

Everyone makes to-do lists. They’re helpful for keeping us focused and on track.

But what if they are focusing us on the wrong things?

How many times have you heard the advice, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it”?

There’s even science to back that up.

In 1967, Dr. Albert Mehrabian conducted studies at UCLA which found 55% of what we communicate is body language and 38% is vocal tone and inflection.

Is that 93% for team delivery and only 7% for team content?

Well, according to one of the top ten most popular TED talk presenters of all time, (and according to Chris Anderson, the head of TED) we might have a debate on our hands…

Amy Cuddy revealed in her famous TED talk that standing in a confident pose actually boosts the level of testosterone (the hormone largely associated with confidence) in the brain.

I asked Julian Treasure (who gave another of the top 10 most viewed TED talks of all time) whether the same was true for speaking in a confident voice.

If so, could this be called the Morgan Freeman impression effect? Intoned cognition? Power throating?

There’s a justifiable authenticity movement happening.

“Be yourself,” “You do you,” “Stand in your truth,” “Haters gonna hate,” “Keep it real.”

But what happens when you are a victim of someone else’s authenticity?

The biggest problem with “BE YOURSELF” is that you have MORE THAN ONE self.

Julian Treasure sits down with Tim David and explains…

• Why it’s not HOW you say it that matters most. It’s WHAT you say.

• When to FAKE IT and when to be AUTHENTIC.

• The vocal version of power posing. Power toning?

• The critical shift that will make you more influential - but the world refuses to do it.

• The different vocal styles and how to maximize your own to help make sure you are HEARD.
