April 01, 2019 Badass Answers – Lunch Meetings
Scheduling meetings over lunch is getting more and more common. But just because something happens often, doesn’t make it right. There are times in life when the seemingly innocent occasional request goes unchecked and becomes disrespectful or even abusive. Could this be one of those times?

March 25, 2019 Episode 89 – Listening
I never used to be good at listening. My mind runs at a hundred miles per hour. So I used to find listening to be a fidgety, painful experience, that wasn’t focused on me… so I kind of hated it.
But as I grow and develop, I realize more and more how important it is to simply be a great listener. That’s this week on the Badass Agile Podcast.

March 22, 2019Badass Answers – Connecting With New Teams
Question from Enzo in Texas:
“How do you adapt faster with a new team, in a company very different from any previous companies you’ve worked with? What advice would you give in regards to what should be top priority when trying to merge into an entirely new team?”
Companies may be different, but people are exactly the same. It’s useful to understand the culture for the sake of context or perspective, but the muscle you need to flex is connecting with individuals.
You have to make the time to connect: understand and empathize. You can do this over beer, or an initial round of 1-1 coaching, but never do it in public – people need a safe place to discuss.

* Companies may be different, but people are exactly the same. It’s useful to understand the culture for the sake of context or perspective, but the muscle you need to flex is connecting with individuals.
* You have to make the time to connect: understand and empathize. You can do this over beer, or an initial round of 1-1 coaching, but never do it in public - people need a safe place to discuss.
* Logic never sells anything. You have to connect with people’s emotions.
* Meet their needs - find a way to serve, to give and to get them more of what they want.
* Find a way to connect what you value to what they value - bring Your One Thing.
* Most importantly, you describe your excitement to be starting your new role, a genuine desire to connect with and help people, and a deep admiration for your client’s culture. Start there. Serve.
