10X Impact Conversations

In this week's podcast, we're talking with Felicity Hassan, Managing Director of Audeliss, a firm that exists to level the playing field for diverse leaders in executive and board appointments. Their core belief? That diversity of thought is one of the biggest competitive advantages to any leadership team.

Felicity and I will explore:

• How to see and work with our own privilege & biases
• How to level the playing field by widening the gate versus lowering the bar in our companies
• How to create a culture of inclusivity

We'll also deep dive the risk of focusing on diversity of numbers without simultaneously doing the cultural groundwork to embody an inclusive environment and business practices.

You can learn more about Felicity's firm, Audeliss, on their website.

This week's podcast has a twist.

In this interview, I am the guest on Laura Wagenecht's popular IN AWE radio program on WPVM 103.7.

IN AWE exists to bring awareness to all aspects of leadership as a woman: climbing the ladder to success, sexism, racism, agism, being the only woman in the room, trying to be superwoman and parent children and work full-time, women's bias against other women, women in the military, and women in a variety of industries.

I'm honored to share my story and lessons learned along the way; some of which are specific to being a white woman born in the United States in the early 70's and evolving as executive in the 90's, and some of which are gleaned from my work with thousands of high performers in their own pursuit of achievement, wellness, and a life well lived.

In the interview, I talk a lot about the qualities of a Conscious Leader. If you'd like a one pager that distills this, you can request it here.

If you prefer to watch the interview on video, you can view it on Pure Potential's youtube channel.

This week, we're talking with Mark Dancer, founder and CEO of N4BI (Network For Business Innovation).

Mark is a dear friend and brilliant mind, and he is revolutionizing the way industry thinks about innovation and networks in the B2B space.

This week, we're talking with Brigit Ritchie of WE; a learning organization for high performers who understand that results - work and life - improve dramatically when we hone our emotional intelligence and ability to be present to the moment.

WE serves companies, like Google, Goop, & Walt Disney, who are committed to mindful cultures because they understand that greatness is about more than profit, and in fact, profit improvement is accelerated with mindful effort.

Brigit shares the framework of WE's offering; which is a fabulous outline for all of us of what mindfulness is beyond meditation, how to deepen our relationships with others and ourselves, and how to cultivate emotional intelligence in our spheres of influence.

In this week's conversation, we hear from Sarah Benken, serial entrepreneur and founder of KNOW; a collective of women executives, business owners, and change agents.

There is so much wisdom and honesty in Sarah's story as she reminds us to use our businesses as a vehicle for our own humanity. You'll hear her share about the tenacity, empathy, & intentionality of creating meaningful, synergistic relationships in business.

We dissect the concept of networking; finding a more purposeful, less self serving way to see these opportunities as well as discuss best practices to create your own professional advisory council.

There is much to be learned from women about authentic connection that elevates, and Sarah's business model exudes this.

In this week's conversation, we're exploring the specific actions of conscious leadership. Yes... there are qualities core to our being that support us as leaders such as emotional intelligence, moral fortitude, and intellectual and systems capability, but there are also many quick and easy actions we can take that make a big difference.

This week, we're looking at steps you can start today.

When we embody conscious leadership, we invite others to follow suit. Our willingness to model the behaviors sets the table for sustainable shifts in culture.

And it starts with one person willing to show up a little differently.

In this episode, I mention a past conversation we had called the Elements of Radical Communication. You can access that here.

I also mention a tool you can use for proactive, inquiry based decision making that focuses you on the possibility versus the problem. Download that tool here.

In this week's podcast, we're talking with Kay McDonald, CEO of Charity Charms.

Charity Charms exist to support non-profits connect with donors and fulfill their vision. They are a clear example of how purpose can transcend intention and become strategy.

But what about the rest of us selling products & services B2B or B2C? We have a higher purpose, yes. (Even if we need to dust it off). But is it part of our organization's DNA?

We're going to explore all of this as we talk with Kay, as well as consider the tough question: How do we stay in alignment with purpose when the going gets tough?

To explore more on this topic, I encourage you to watch the companion vlog.

This week, we're talking about conscious communication. And why, you may be asking, is this episode called "become the communication radical?"

Because communication in the workplace is the single biggest complaint across all levels of employees and types of teams. It always has been, it still is, and if we keep doing what we do, it will always be.

And yet, most of us have done TONS of communication training. So why is this still an issue?

Welcome to Conscious Communication.

Conscious communication asks us to turn our attention from the topic at hand to unlocking brilliance of everyone involved because when we access the collective brilliance, the result around the topic travels skyward to a place previously beyond our expectation.

But until we get into the recesses of intelligence in everyone, we cannot fully optimize the result.

In this episode, I'm going to give you the tools to create radical shift in the quality of communication in your circles.

This episode also has an accompanying VLOG about how to diagnose the highest impact area for improvement. You can find it here.

Enjoy!

This week's episode is all about the PIVOT; Conscious Leadership Style.

When we think about making a conscious pivot, we might consider how this is actually reclaiming alignment. When we create intentional change to align with our Truth & Highest Good, we cultivate flow versus struggle.

We're talking with Sarah Poet this week. Sarah created an intentional pivot on a large scale in her career to launch Embodied Breath. She'll tell you all about it.

I love Sarah's perspective on the pivot. In our conversation, she shares: I believe that we can all consciously learn to relate to ourselves and to one another so that we increase the presence of our truth, our natural leadership, and our relational capacity while on the planet.

This is such a grace-filled way to think about how we show up in the world and navigate moment by moment choice.

If you'd like more information on Sarah and her work, you can find her at www.sarahpoet.com or search for her podcast, Sacred Remembering. Her TED talk is also available on her website and is a must listen.

If you feel called to join her free women's group that accompanies her podcast, you can find it here.

This week, we're looking at best practices for working virtually. Your surroundings have an immense impact on your outcomes and your mood when you arrive at the end of your day.

And right now, many of us are working in entirely different environments in entirely new ways.

We're going to to explore 5 key aspects of how we work that need to pivot when we work virtually to maximize success.

We'll look at communication, space, calendar segmentation, managing distractions, and meetings that matter.

Taking time to set up our work environment for optimal outcomes matters. It's easy to endure, but resist that temptation.

You can make these shifts with no more than a couple hours of effort. Well worth the time.
