In this transformative episode of Command Performances, we are thrilled to have Dr. Michael Hudson share his wisdom on adapting to change and thriving in the real estate industry. Discover how focusing on relationships, education, and personal growth can help you navigate challenges and achieve success.

In this episode, Cheryl Knowlton and Dr. Michael Hudson discuss how to:

  • Explore techniques from acting and theater to deliver powerful performances that serve your audience

  • Hear personal stories of overcoming trauma and finding purpose in helping others think differently and take action

  • Understand how aligning yourself can attract the right people and create stunning differences in your interactions

  • Discover the importance of taking care of yourself first before sharing your story in a way that serves your audience

Key Takeaways:

  • Impact of COVID-19

As the world faced the challenges of the COVID pandemic, the speaker community had to adapt quickly, finding new ways to connect with and inspire their audiences.

  • The Backstory Initiative

The Backstory Initiative, a two-day in-person workshop, guides participants through the process of reframing their personal stories in a safe and approachable manner.

  • Working on Trauma

Dr. Michael Hudson encourages listeners to acknowledge and work through their trauma, emphasizing that life is much different on the other side after doing the necessary work.

“Let's talk about the three-sentence story for a minute… Storytelling is basically about exposition. What are the basic facts? It's about conflict. What's happening that makes something else have to happen? And it's about a resolution.”

-Dr. Michael Hudson

About the guest, Dr. Michael Hudson:

Recovering College Professor. Speaker. Consultant. Coach. Michael Hudson was bitten by the entrepreneurial bug at an early age—starting his first business when he was just seven years old. He went on to start a disc jockey business in his teens, and a cabinet and countertop business with his father while in college, before running away from home to become a college professor. During his tenure in academia, he spearheaded two nationally recognized business programs, one at Cornell University and the other at the University of Illinois, before leaving the academic world to turn to his entrepreneurial passions.

Since then he has worked with the leaders of over 3,000 businesses, entrepreneurs, non-profit organizations, and government agencies helping them define their visions, develop their leaders, and design their cultures. After growing up petrified to speak in public, Michael committed to helping people develop their ability to communicate their messages to those who need to hear them. He regularly speaks at conferences and conventions sharing his personal story—revealing the power of personal experiences to lead audiences to take action—and has delivered over 8,000 paid presentations across the past 34 years. Michael recently partnered with a long-time client to build a transformational development program for aspiring leaders.
