Authentic Living

Quote: "I think there's even more of a resistance to avoid difficult conversations, which I believe is actually an escalation to conflict." Christi Scarrow

The definition of conflict is a struggle or clash of interest, opinion, or even principles, a difference that prevents agreement.  Conflict will always be found in society and isn't going anywhere, so our best defence is to face it head-on, but many are intimidated by conflict and avoid it at all costs.  On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome back Accountability Expert Christi Scarrow to share some great ideas for leaders to resolve conflict in the workplace.

I had such a wonderful and information-filled chat with Christi last week that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series.  In case you missed last week, here’s the link to Part I   It’s not mandatory that you listen to it first, but I recommend that you do.  There’s so much amazing content, it would be a shame for you to miss out on any of it.

Christi has been helping individuals, teams, and organizations to make decisions for more than 20 years.   She is the author of the best-selling book Truth Warriors and is a consultant, trainer, speaker, and executive coach.  As a Partner at Lighthouse Nine Group, she offers consulting and training for multi-national clients and small businesses across many diverse industries.   Christi helps leaders be confident in their choices and is passionate about building a world based on truth.

Quote: “One thing I experience a lot, even today, is that women are judged on their performance and men are judged based on their potential.” Priska Burkard

The glass ceiling is a metaphor that describes the invisible barrier that prevents women and minorities from attaining leadership and executive positions in organizations. While there seems to be a shift happening, women and minorities still have to work harder to prove themselves capable and worthy of becoming leaders, especially in male dominated fields. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Priska Burkard all the way from Switzerland to talk about her experiences obtaining leadership roles in finance and tech.

Priska has worked over 15 years in the finance industry, where she led national and international IT projects for major banks with great success. She started her career in the IT world as a career change in Software Engineering. Her skills and expertise enabled her to not only work for international projects but also move to Hong Kong to take on different roles in Project and Product Management. In 2016 she left the finance industry to focus on building her own company.

Quote: “The way to define heart-based leadership is leadership that focuses on empathy and compassion. Really just being there for your people, understanding what they’re going through on a very deep level and then leading with that compassion.” Wade Thomas

I had such a wonderful and information filled chat with Wade last week that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. In case you missed last week, here’s the link to Part I

It’s not mandatory that you listen to it first, but I recommend that you do. There’s so much amazing content, it would be a shame for you to miss out on any of it.

What is the benchmark of a successful leader? Is it satisfied customers, happy employees, the bottom line? What if you could have “all of the above”? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are thrilled to welcome business coach Wade Thomas to share his thoughts about how bringing compassion and empathy to the table in a meaningful way will help the leader, the people the leader works with, the organization and society, in general, overcome the challenges that we are faced with.

For over two decades, Wade has served as a strategic talent executive who guides leaders to develop and shape organizations from the perspective of high-performance management coupled with compassion and empathy. As the founder and CEO of Aim to Win, author of the book “From the Heart,” and host of the Aim to Win podcast, Wade has coached and consulted with hundreds of leaders who are now practicing the principles of bringing out the best in high performing individuals and teams, so that they are equipped to achieve organizational excellence and business growth.
