Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 45:52 — 42.0MB)

Summer 2021 is nearing an end. Kids return to school in a couple of weeks. Last-minute vacations are getting squeezed into the schedule. Leo and I have had a less than regular podcasting schedule, but we’re preparing to get back in the saddle with a more predictable publishing calendar. Hopefully, you’ve had a great summer. Ours has been busy as Peernovation (both the book and the framework) has gained increased utility around the world. (In fact, here’s a sneak peek at the book cover design for the upcoming launch in China).

We hope you’ll buy and read Leo’s latest book, Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High-Performing Teams. The Kindle version is just $3.99 (as we publish this today, July/August 2021) in order to make it available to as many people as possible. Buy it for you and your group or team members today. If you like to listen, the audiobook is available now, too!.

Leo & Randy On Stories (Told & Untold)

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 41:56 — 38.4MB)

Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High-Performing Teams by Leo Bottary is Leo’s third book. Like his previous works, The Power Of Peers (coauthored with Leon Shapiro) and What Anyone Can Do, this book contains powerful stories to help readers connect with the content.

On today’s show, we discuss the power of stories. The Peernovation framework was created to help you foster high-performing teams in your organization. Part of that framework is best illustrated with stories because they help us relate to one another.

Leo intentionally made sure the pricing of this new book is extremely affordable so the message can reach the widest audience possible – “The power of WE begins with YOU.”
