November 08, 2018 Badass Unscripted – Loving the Fight
Love the fight.
I don’t think it’s true that all life is suffering, like to believe that almost the struggle. And if that’s the case, the sooner you get used to combat, get used to constantly having to deal with new and difficult challenges, the happier you’ll be. If you let the challenges overwhelm you, you start to see them as unfair. The moment you do that, you surrender.

November 05, 2018Episode 74 – Business Agility
We hear the words Business Agility a lot now – to agilists it probably makes perfect sense but there seems to be a need for better understanding and education. I want to give you some information you can share with your teams and decision makers, and some real-world examples of how and when to apply Agile to Business.
Remember that the Principles of Agility Apply equally to non-technical environments
Almost any business domain – finance, legal, people, marketing, strategy, support/service – will be able to benefit from focused work, inspecting and adapting, delivering early and often and face-to-face communications.
Increasingly, businesses are adapting Agile thinking and practice to non-software, non-technical problems, so avoiding the issue won’t be an option if you want to stay competitive.
An Agile leader needs to know how to explain and adapt these principles to traditional business areas.

November 01, 2018Badass Unscripted – Haters, Consensus and People Pleasing
You will always have haters.
Never seek approval.
Never hate back.
Most hatred comes from deep-seated fear.
It’s okay to show compassion and empathy and make bridges.
Your skill and power as a leader comes from your ability to stay true to your vision, and never mind what other people think.
This skill takes practice, and the truth of this wisdom only becomes apparent with experience and a time. So revisit this episode often

November 01, 2018 Badass Unscripted – Agile Podcasting
It’s important that leaders, especially in this tribe, get their voice out there. The practice doesn’t grow unless people are contributing opinions through blogs, articles, videos or podcasts.
Speaking from experience, there are lots of excuses about why you can’t or shouldn’t start a podcast, but no good reasons. Overcome your beliefs – that there isn’t enough time, you don’t have any good content, and you don’t have the right equipment – so you can get started today.
