440: The 5 Leadership Voices - Jeremie Kubicek

The Savvy Dentist

Most of the challenges that business owners have, including practice owners, relate to people.
If we can improve how we communicate, if we can improve how we relate with one another, we're going to improve trust. And when we improve trust, we create engagement, productivity, and a whole heap of good culture.
In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green chats with Jeremie Kubicek, Co-Founder of GiANT, and a powerful communicator, serial entrepreneur and content builder.
Jeremie creates content used by some of the largest companies around the globe found in the books he has authored: The 100X Leader, 5 Voices, 5 Gears, Making Your Leadership Come Alive, The Peace Index, and his brand new book just released in November of 2023, The Communication Code.

Jeremie is the Co-Founder of GiANT, a company that certifies coaches and consultants that serve companies and their employees. Jeremie has started over 25 companies while living in Oklahoma City, Moscow, Atlanta and London.

• [2:45] - Jeremie explains why personality style self-report questionnaires help indicate differing psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions, and how he cracked the code to create an easier model that is more user friendly, applicable in the workplace, and memorable.
• [5:42] - 5 Voices is a simple key that unlocks complicated relational dynamics and improves the health and alignment of all your relationships. All five leadership voices come with their own particular sets of strengths, and all have areas for growth. Understanding both sides of the equation is the key to taking your leadership to the next level and is the secret to increasing your ability to influence your team, family, and friends.
• [10:06] - Why the Sherpa on Mount Everest is the greatest example of a leader
• [17:21] - Understanding your team's personality characteristics can improve communication so that everyone feels heard, seen and respected … and it will create relational trust.
• [23:05] - How you can grow in your relational intelligence and increase your influence. Jeremie explains 5 mindsets that carry you through various facets of your day. These include:
  • First gear - when you fully rest and recharge
  • Second gear - when you connect with family or friends without the involvement of work
  • Third gear - when you are socialising
  • Fourth gear - when you are working and multi-tasking
  • Fifth gear - when you are fully focused and 'in the zone, ' working without interruption
• [30:01] - Healthy communication is essential in any professional or personal relationship. When the lines of communication are frayed or broken, the resulting drama, unnecessary conflict, and inefficiency often lead to 'dropping the ball'. Better communication yields better results. It's a no-brainer―honest conversations build deeper, more productive relationships. It may seem simple in theory, but healthy communication is one of the most challenging things to master in practice. That’s why Jeremie wrote his most recent book - The Communication Code: Unlocking Every Relationship, One Conversation at a Time
