The Feelings Of Leadership with Paul Farmer
Sweet On Leadership
05/31/23 • 42 min
Tim Sweet welcomes guest Paul Farmer of Mentoris to the show to talk about feelings. Specifically, how feelings apply to business and leadership. Paul works to get leaders to understand exactly how the feeling of a purchase or investment drives consumers and employees far more than logic when you get to the heart of things. He and Tim break down how it works.
Paul’s saying is “it’s not the thing that they want, it’s the feeling that it gives them” and the driving force behind his coaching hits on exactly that. He takes the example of a cup of coffee. Do we buy a cup of coffee for the hot water, beans, and milk? No, we buy it because of the feelings attached to it, because we want that emotion, that sense. And business works the same way.
Tim Sweet and guest Paul Farmer discuss what Paul identifies as the three levels of feelings where they pertain to business: with the clients, with the team that includes internal employees and external supplies and contractors, and with the roles and responsibilities of each. Paul breaks down how finding the feeling a leader wants in their business clarifies the logic and strategy of moving forward. And he shares why feelings are vital to understanding employees and their job satisfaction within the organization, which is directly linked to productivity and efficiency. Everything in this episode is important for any employee, business owner, or leader to hear.
About Paul Farmer
Paul Farmer, Business Mentor and Founder of Mentoris Group, completed his Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Southern Queensland before he moved to Brisbane to pursue an accounting career. He worked for both Bentleys MRI and Snelleman Tom, being admitted as a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) in 2002. Playing Premier Rugby Union for Norths (1996), GPS (1997 – 2002, Club captain 2001), Australian Combined States U21 and Australian Barbarians in 1996 enabled Paul to develop a strong network of professional contacts.
In 2002 Paul took a sabbatical to the UK, gaining invaluable exposure to different cultures, work practices, travel opportunities and sporting pursuits. After 20 years working for large organizations both in Australia and the UK, it was time to give something back. Leaving a strategic leadership role, Paul saw coaching as a way of guiding others through the ever increasing uncertainty and pressures life presents, similar to those he encountered. Paul is a registered CPA, Associate Member of the International Coach Guild, Member of the Coaching Institute, working towards being an International Accredited Professional Master Coach and currently holds a Blue card for working with children and youths.

Paul Farmer: “If we value integrity and someone isn't doing what they say they're going to do, what's the feeling that pops up? Frustration. It's not, We're in flow. We're out of flow so things aren't going as they are, because at the end of the day, if we are in alignment, then it feels good.”

Richard 00:01
Hoping is a flag for evidence that's missing and knowing means the gap has been filled. So, it's a good word generally, universally for human nature to have hope but in the performance game is another trigger. And there needs to be a leader who spots that and says, Well, I hope it all comes off. And then we're looking at opportunity. And the opportunity is typically inside the gap and that could flag a gap in evidence. So, what don't we know?
Tim 00:32
I'd like to ask you some questions. Do you consider yourself the kind of person that gets things done? Are you able to take a vision and transform that into action?

I think a lot of people end up becoming experts in their fields. And the next big step is translating that expertise for a more general audience. I've worked with quite a few engineers and helping them build their brands out becoming consultants and known in the space that they're working in. That's one of the big challenges that they have, they get very technical because they know that so well. And the challenge really does become how do you communicate in such a way that the average person is going to understand and be interested in it?

There's definitely been a lot of people who think that being busy is really, you know, the gold standard and you know, making sure that we do it all. And it's hard when you're working in cardiac rehab, and you see people that have all of a sudden just been stopped in their tracks. And it made me really realize that preventative medicine, preventative wellness is where we want to be.

Brent 00:01
And the beauty is usually when you're exercising leadership without titles, the competitive nature of it doesn't really ever come into play. Because there's really not an opportunity for you to one up anybody else, right? It's really about looking at each other, evaluating each other's strengths, understanding what each person on that team brings to the table, and then really just giving each other and empowering each other to bring their best selves, to support whatever the shared objective or goal is.

Tim 01:10
Hey, thanks for joining me, this week, it's going to be just you and me, we're going to be flying solo, somebody had come to me and said that they really liked the direction that the podcast is heading. And one of the things that they noticed is that everybody that's been on, it seems to have this really clear sense of who they are and what they do. And they have been able to take a big bold step, and change their life up. And they encouraged me to do an episode where we talk about giving yourself permission to make big change. What is it we need to do in order to shake ourselves up and to seek something better? So, what I've done is I've gone through some of the best questions that I've received over the last year, and there are dozens of them, and I narrowed it down to 10. And I'm hoping to get through five, maybe more today, if we can. Give you a bit of the response that I would have provided the person writing, and then build on those. So, if you're one of the people that have contributed these questions you're going to know, and thank you very much for listening. Thank you to all of you. Without listeners, this podcast doesn't have much of a purpose, does it? So, I'm really happy to find out that you're getting value from it, that you're enjoying the eclectic mix of leadership experts, and insightful visionaries that we've got joining us every week, and I can't wait to bring you the next 30 episodes. So, let me start off by saying, my goal in life has always been to not have people struggle. Nothing bothers me more than when I come into a relationship with a person and I understand that they've got something in their life that just really is, not just hard, but it's routinely hard. It's this pattern of struggle that they've got. When I work with teams, I look for the same thing. Where do we have patterns of unnecessary struggle? Work should be challenging, work should be hard, we should be applying ourselves and we should be enjoying taking our skills to difficult problems and projects and making them better. But working with people shouldn't be hard. And being a fit for a job shouldn't be hard. We spend so many hours of our lives in a profession that we deserve, to really feel like that profession is bowing us up. So, whether you're a leader, and you're used to talking to me or listening to the podcast with ears of a person that's leading a team, or you're somebody who's involved in a profession, or a pursuit, where they're really a subject matter expert, or they want to leave a legacy, I'd encourage you to listen to these questions. Each one of them I think builds on an aspect of that finding permission to seek out more, it doesn't always mean leaving a job either. Sometimes it can be reengineering the job that you've got, and looking very specifically for those elements of the job that you are struggling with. It's such a huge part of my profession now to work with executives who are climbing ladders of success or are getting more and more passionate about the areas that ...
