This week on the b CAUSE Podcast we've broken the episode in two, because, well, there's just too much to say for one episode. Erin Hatzikostas and Nicole Licata Grant catch up, analyze, pontificate and coach through Nicole's recent trip to Spain: The heat, the travel, the sunken eyes, and the problems with "the inner-circle" of leaders. Though, the problems might not always be where you think they are. Listen in to not only follow Nicole's path, but to connect and learn more about how you can think about and handle your work bullshit.  And please b sure to join us for more fun and inspiration!

"Sometimes these corporate Pow-wows feel like hazing."

"99% of the time it's not hazing: it's fear and it's ignorance and it's ego that just rolls downhill."

"The main reason for spending 100+ hours on one presentation is failing as a leader, and focussing on all the wrong things."

"I shouldn't even be a leader if I'm not going to trust the people who have proven they want to be in my inner circle."

"It's as simple as putting yourself in someone else's shoes."

"You might know the path, but boy it's easy to deviate."

"Just why is it so hard to stop eating the whole bag of Cheetos. It's really hard to not eat the whole bag of Cheetos. You have to practice. You have to sometimes eat a quarter bag or a half a bag and then roll it back."

"I encourage people to say I'm going to take two steps forward and one step back. That relieves the pressure. If you do that...in a year from now, you're going to be a mile ahead from where you're at."

"We have to quit listening to the voices in our heads that debase us: that say we're not good enough leaders, we're in the periphery."

"Storytelling in the workplace can be really powerful, storytelling inside your own head can be dangerous."
