      In this episode with Liz Guthridge, we talked about the following:

      • A leader can be at any level in the organization.
      • The difference between a manager and a leader.
      • The medium time you should think about reinvention for the organization.

        • Liz works with leaders who recognize the need to be more

        human-centered and embrace the disruption that swirls around us. I help
        leaders rewire their mindset so they can expand their capacity to deal
        with more complex and uncertain situations. This also helps them make
        more connections and build stronger relationships with more stakeholders
        in multiple ecosystems.

        Leaders and their teams who work with me increase the clarity of

        their thinking, improve their communication, including listening, and
        become more empathetic and compassionate. Leaders also become better
        decision-makers and more resilient as they gain greater confidence in
        navigating today’s BANI (brittle, anxiety-producing, nonlinear, and
        incomprehensible) world.

          • Growing up in Roumenia he was advanced in math coming to the US. Going into computers was a natural thing.
          • Agile and Ruby are written for developer happiness.

          • If you don’t get good at execution, your planning doesn’t matter.
          • Doing 23 minutes really focused work, then take a break and start the next cycle with 2 minutes reviewing what you did.
          • Habit Coach Certification
          • Teach people that are already very productive, to take a five-minute break.
          • There is a gift in starting and stopping, as long as you can relax in between.
          • To be human is play and joy. Do as little work as possible, to have more time to play and joy.

            He coaches (teaches) whatever inspired and transformed his own life— blues partner dancing, authentic connection, productivity-integrity, meditation-prayer, and coddiwompling.

            Unlike most productivity training, he will guide you to introduce small but very effective habits/tools which will (hopefully) have an immediate positive impact on your life. This in turn will motivate you to ask for the next habit/tool, and so on.

            Part of his philosophy is that being human is more important than being productive, and that rhythm and rest play a huge part in both
            happiness and productivity. In the end, it is possible for your work to be a kind of playful meditation which actually increases the amount of
            energy available to you for the other parts of life.

                        Singapore and grew up in crazy places like Iran and California. Since
                        then, he explored things like school and leadership in natural foods and
                        eventually ended up being a writer. Somehow, all that culminated in a
                        coaching gig that’s working out pretty well.

                        Now he guides other writers who’ve lost touch with their creative spark. They call him Captain Authenticity.

                        He hasn’t been on social media since 2016.

                        Enjoy this great conversation with Chris.
