🎙️ WIP-069: Navigating Leadership and Storytelling with Bill Harper 🎙️ This week, Will Barfield and I had the privilege of hosting Bill, a master storyteller and founder of five advertising agencies, on WIP with John Lane & Will Barfield. Bill shared how he’s helped businesses scale from multi-million to billion-dollar aspirations through the power of strategic storytelling. Here’s what you can expect: 🌟 Superpowers & Kryptonite: Bill’s OAD profile reveals a “Pathfinder” leadership style—assertive, risk-taking, and energized by communication. But what about his kryptonite? Impatience and a low tolerance for routine. He opens up about how these traits can create challenges and how he manages them effectively. 📖 Lessons in Storytelling: Bill dives into the art of crafting narratives that not only captivate but also drive results, proving why storytelling is essential for scaling businesses. 💡 Practical Leadership Insights: From leveraging strengths to fostering team dynamics, Bill shares his strategies for creating a high-impact work environment. If you’re curious about how leadership traits influence business success or want to unlock the power of storytelling, this episode is packed with actionable insights. 👀 Watch Now: https://lnkd.in/gSA6WYEa 🔔 Subscribe for more inspiring episodes: https://lnkd.in/gZthQYUg Let us know your favorite takeaway from this episode in the comments! #WIPPodcast #LeadershipDevelopment #StrategicStorytelling #SuperpowersAndKryptonite #PathfinderLeadership #WorkInProgress #BusinessGrowth #PodcastHighlights

We're all a work in progress! A weekly pod sharing lessons in vulnerability from business leaders. #NoHumbleBrags
About us
This (mostly) weekly podcast, hosted by John Lane and Will Barfield, features a new guest in each episode. We'll focus on pinpointing and capitalizing on our Superpowers, as well as understanding their potential downsides (our Kryptonite) when we're under stress. We define our Superpowers and Kryptonite through the Organizational Analysis and Design (OAD) personality assessment survey. Each week, our featured guest will take us inside their personal OAD results, and discuss how those results inform their professional choices. Typically, we'll move through the Superpowers part of the discussion fairly quickly, and spend most of our time discussing real-life, vulnerable moments - and the lessons learned from them. Our motto is #NoHumbleBrags for a good reason: we believe there's more to be learned from true vulnerability than from self-congratulation. We look at those moments of vulnerability as opportunities for growth. After all, every one of us is a Work In Progress. We'll post new podcast episodes weekly on our YouTube Channel, and update our followers here. If you'd like to be considered as a guest, we'd love to discuss. Just DM John Lane or Will Barfield.

🔄 WIP Rewind: Amber Deibert’s Episode 🔄 Episode WIP with John Lane & Will Barfield episode027 brought us Amber Deibert , a leader who’s as insightful as she is inspiring. Amber talked with Will Barfield and me about helping successful sales leaders get out of their own way—a message that hits home for anyone striving to reach that next level. She shared how her Builder-Negotiator Superpowers give her vision for her business, and how she works through the Kryptonite of follow-up systems and detail work. What really stood out was her reaction to the #OAD assessment. Amber came in skeptical of something so simple but left impressed by its accuracy.
