Not News: Leadership and Management
SummaryIn this episode of the “Not News” podcast series, Brennan and Trevor talk about the difference between leadership and management. Many people use these terms synonymously in the workplace, but there are distinct, inherent differences between the two. During this episode, we discuss several important things: the key differences between leadership and management, having a vision for your company or organization, how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the workplace, why developing leadership qualities is so important, and how Brennan’s current manager exhibits leadership qualities in and out of the workplace.Connect with Trevorhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-tomion/All social media links: @commonleadersSchedule a 1x1 - https://www.commonleaders.com/book-nowShout outsTed Tueller; Tueller’s Press, Centerville, Utah; tuellerspress.comSourcesLeadership vs. Management: the 5 Main Differences: https://blog.smarp.com/leadership-vs-managementConnect with Common Leaders1. trevor@commonleaders.com2. 562-528-02343. https://linktr.ee/commonleadersTagsEntrepreneurs, Entrepreneurship, Leadership Small Business, COVID business,  Leadership, Leadership development, Leadership teaching, Leadership education, Pep talk, Motivation,  Inspiration,  Inspiring, Motivating, Family Leadership, Community Leadership, Professional Development, Professional Leadership, Management, Management and Leadership, Leadership vs Management, Management Style, Supervision, Mentor, Mentorship, Leadership mentor, Your Leadership Core, Your Leadership Center, Gratefulness as a core, Creating a vision, Interview screenings, Customer service / Customer support, Leadership in customer service, Customer relationship management, Customer relationship, Customer leadership, Hiring, Interviewing, Screening, Promotion prep, Employees, Employee Morale, Enjoyment, Employee Development, Service, Community Service, Church Service, Family Leadership, Teaching, Motivation, Ambition, Training, Leadership Training, Local Leaders#Entrepreneurs, #Entrepreneurship, #Leadershipsmallbusiness, #Smallbusiness, #Smallbusinesses #COVIDbusiness,  #Leadership, #Leadershipdevelopment, #Leadershipteaching, #Leadershipeducation, #Peptalk, #Motivation,  #Inspiration,  #Inspiring, #Motivating, #Familyleadership, #Communityleadership, #Professionaldevelopment, #Professionalleadership, #Management, #Managementandleadership, #Leadershipvsmanagement, #Managementstyle, #Supervision, #Mentor, #Mentorship, #Leadershipmentor, #Yourleadershipcore, #Yourleadershipcenter, #Gratefulnessasacore, #Creatingavision, #Interviewscreenings, #Customerservice, #Customersupport, #Leadershipincustomerservice, #Customerrelationshipmanagement, #Customerrelationship, #Customerleadership, #Hiring, #Interviewing, #Screening, #Promotionprep, #Employees, #Employeemorale, #Enjoyment, #Employeedevelopment, #Service, #Communityservice, #Churchservice, #Familyleader, #Teaching, #Motivation, #Ambition, #Training, #Leadershiptraining, #LocalleadersSupport the Show.Thank You for Listening!

Steven Crane, Spotlight on Experts
This episode provides advice to Veterans and their families, from a Veteran. If you are a Veteran or part of a Veteran family, please consider checking this out – it will help you or someone you know!Steven Crane, MBA, MPM, leads a Veteran-owned business that supports Veterans who are somewhere in the transition to “civilian” status, after their service. Attend his Q&A webinar on 12/29 @ 5 PM, Eastern. Register here: LINKSteven began his own transition in 2017. Like many who have served, he faced an unfair share of adversity and wasn’t supported adequately by the government agencies responsible for that support. Facing down some “move it or lose it” moments, Steven’s life took a hard turn towards success when he cleared-up his purpose and vision. That led him to advancing his formal education, big-shot corporate jobs, and recently to founding 360 Veteran. He's at the heart of an effort to provide better support to transitioning Veterans. He’s already helped hundreds and is partnering with new individuals every week. He offers tons of free information through topical webinars, question & answer sessions and through other easy-to-access resources. My conversation with Steven gets into some of his background, some controversial topics, and lots about things that Veterans in this process should look for. If you aren’t part of a Veteran family, please share this information with one you know!

Luvenia Johnson, LMSW; Spotlight on Leaders

Luvenia Johnson, LMSW; Spotlight on Leaders
What Does this Episode Provide to ListenersIn this episode of “Spotlight on Leaders,” we hear some of the most helpful, wide-ranging insights and advice from a true leader in all of the categories (family, community and business).A 15 year veteran of the Social Work field, Luvenia Johnson, shares some of her own background, hopes and resources. My feelings hit each stop on the spectrum during my time with Luvenia - happiness, anger, sadness, hope… I got them all, and I think you will, too.In addition to Luvenia’s general human excellence and leadership, Luvenia provides a strong voice for female empowerment, African American cultural taboo topics, mental health advocacy, resource awareness and single provider households. People that are interested in or in need of family or parenting leadership tips, general inspiration, food, or mental health support will get value out of listening to this! Luvenia, admittedly, overcame odds that were undoubtedly stacked against her. From a household of a single provider who worked 3 jobs, she herself became a mother in high school and experienced deep trauma in her path to the human she is today. The love of her children kept her church and the support of her community kept Luvenia focused. Luvenia is currently wrapping-up a very successful and rewarding tenure as an LMSW with Foundation Health Partners, in Fairbanks, Alaska. Her next step is as an entrepreneur and she lets us in on some of what’s next for her!Connect with Luvenia JohnsonEmail: luvenia@aol.com , Subject Line: Heard Your PodcastLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luveniajohnsonlmsw/ National Association of Social Workers; Alaska Chapter: https://naswak.socialworkers.org/About/Leadership Donate or find help: https://linktr.ee/leaders_donate Shout outsFoundation Health Partners: https://www.foundationhealth.org/about_us Suicide Hotline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ Become a Social Worker: https://socialworklicensure.org/articles/become-a-social-worker/ Connect with Common Leaderstrevor@commonleaders.com562-528-0234https://linktr.ee/commonleadersBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Dana Mahoney, Spotlight on Leaders - Business & Community
SummaryIn this Spotlight on Leaders, I talk to Dana Mahoney, who recently became co-owner of an established Pure Barre franchise in Buffalo, New York.  This episode is *packed* with insight and advice from the new business owner.  Pairing a passion, a vision, and great work ethic are known resources for entrepreneurs successfully seizing opportunities… but what does it look like to do all of that by age 30? Even moreso, how would you get there in a trendy, niche, exercise / dance industry?  A dual major in Communications and Dance, degrees that leave most speechless when family asks “what are you going to do with that degree?,” Dana talks about how her education set the stage for her success in the fitness and business world. We get INTO it in this episode with this social media managing, dance instructing, business BOSS. Support & Connect with DanaWhat is Pure Barre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gf5vK4d1vucPure Barre Buffalo (Book A Free Foundations Class in Buffalo! https://www.purebarre.com/location/buffalo-ny@purebarrebuffalo  https://www.instagram.com/purebarrebuffalo/?hl=enLinkTree  https://linktr.ee/purebarrebuffaloClassPass  https://classpass.com/studios/pure-barre-buffalo Explore Pure BarreWebsite: https://www.purebarre.com/@pure_barre https://www.instagram.com/pure_barre/?hl=enLinkBio: https://linkin.bio/ig-pure_barre Supportive organizations we referred toYPAD (dance safety education & certification): https://www.ypadnow.com/More Than Just Great Dancing (tools, resources, and coaching): https://morethanjustgreatdancing.com/ SourcesDana MahoneyArticles that support an assertion madeBenefits of Dance & Athletics for KidsAll links here: https://linktr.ee/dana_spotlight_links Social Media is AddictiveAll links here: https://linktr.ee/dana_spotlight_links Connect with Common Leaderstrevor@commonleaders.com562-528-0234https://linktr.ee/commonleadersSupport the Show.Thank You for Listening!

Trent, Bucket App, InterviewSummaryThis episode provides listeners with some behind the scenes insight into a new generation of social app - the Bucket app. Trent Wann, the Founder & CEO of Bucket, shares the story of what inspired the idea for Bucket, the kick in the pants provided by COVID that set him on this “all-in” journey, and advice for people looking to get into the industry. They are currently riding a wave of good press and adding users. I have a feeling this interview will be in the “before” archives as they continue their success.We cover where Bucket fits in the social app industry, how they're different from other bucket list apps, where to consider ethical and moral boundaries in data collections, and we even stumbled into a new tagline for Bucket! Thank you to Trent & Bucket; Thank you for listening!Follow Bucket & TrentWebsiteshttps://trentwann.com/ https://www.thebucketapp.com/Bucket app reviews; Apple StoreSocial media:InstagramYouTubeFacebookLinkedInShout Outs Full Bucket TeamY Combinator SourcesTrent Wann, Founder & CEO, BucketThe Power of Habits, Charles DuhigSocial Media Harvesting (not surprisingly, there’s more articles about how to collect and use it, than there is about who and what is using it)Data regarding job loss during pandemic (and how to get insurance)Connect with Common Leaderstrevor@commonleaders.com562-528-0234https://linktr.ee/commonleadersSupport the Show.Thank You for Listening!
