Quote: “What I’m seeing across the board, companies are looking at diversifying their makeup.” Phyllis Reid-Jarvis

The events of the past year have led to some very frank discussions about systemic racism and the effects it has on today’s society. This in turn has created the space for conversations directed around diversity and inclusion at home and in the workplace. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Phyllis Reid-Jarvis to have a conversation about how leaders can guide their teams through tough conversations and what employees can do to help themselves.

Phyllis is an experienced international executive coach who works with organizations and individuals to realize their full potential. With a focus on employee and organizational success, she helps businesses sharpen their skills by coaching them on how to operationalize what they have learned in training.

From health and wellness to diversity and inclusion. 2:15

With many of us working from home and feeling the pressure of the pandemic, I encourage you to reach out with thoughts or questions about your own self-awareness and creating a healthier mindset.

I have created a new live coaching program to help you Create Healthier and More Authentic Relationships in your life.

Quote: “Too often I’ve seen middle managers that don’t have leadership skills that service their people. They don’t think that serving their people is what leadership is all about.” Tom Lawrence

What does it take to be a good leader? We have all seen it before…someone in the company gets promoted to management level and lacks the skills to be an effective leader. Just because you’re great at your job, doesn’t automatically make you a good leader. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome (all the way from the UK) Tom Lawrence to share his knowledge about what it takes to become a highly effective leader.

Tom began his career in 1999 as an apprentice mechanical engineer, working for an automotive company in Liverpool, UK. After completing his apprenticeship, he was made redundant from that company and had to find other work, which is when he joined the rail industry working for Merseyside’s train operator. He worked there for six years, and during that time he achieved his degree in mechanical engineering, his master’s degree in maintenance engineering, and he started his first leadership role as a project manager in 2009. After leaving Liverpool in 2011, he has worked in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London where he currently lives. Tom became a chartered engineer in 2013 and is a mentor for new and upcoming engineers working towards their chartership. Working in these different cities he had remained within the rail industry and led different types of engineering teams, learning and practicing different leadership styles.

Quote: “We’re going to forget this stuff unless we use it, within 6 days, 2 weeks, 30 days…the research changes. But the important thing is we do forget it unless we use it and keep using it.”  Darren Smith

Have you ever taken a course and felt fantastic after and thought, wow…this is going to make a difference only to find that nothing changes or improves?  On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne we welcome (from all the way across the pond) Darren Smith who will share some great insight about how we need to take a look at a better way to learn and how we can ensure that we implement and utilize the knowledge after a training session.

Darren has been working in the world of UK Supermarkets & Suppliers for over 30 years. He began his career as a buyer at big 4 UK supermarket (as an Assistant Cottage Cheese Buyer) and after 13 years he decided to leave to set-up Making Business Matter because he saw the opportunity to enable supermarkets and suppliers to work better together.  He founded MBM and has spent the last 14 years working with suppliers on People Development to enable them to get the best from their people with their retail accounts through Sticky Learning ®.

Authentic Touch Points:

• Darren’s journey from Assistant Cottage Cheese Buyer to Trainer.  2:15
• Creating connection for the buyer.  4:15
• Small bites are better than one big one.  7:30
• Micro vs macro learning.  11:30

• Connection at the water cooler vs Zoom.  25:00
• Online communication is so much harder.  28:00
• Talking is essential to connection.  31:30

Darren has a love for human behaviour and helping people to become the best version of themselves. MBM claims to have the stickiest learning in the world. When he’s not working, you’ll find him living in Thame with his wife, Gayle, and children, Gabby and Jack, creating memorable experiences because he believes ‘life is for the taking’.
