  • Living a Blended Life
    Picture a vacant teeter-totter. The single-beam sways back and forth before settling into a perfectly horizontal position with neither side touching the ground. 
    Now - how many times has your life looked like that - perfectly balanced? 
    I’m a firm believer that work-life balance is a myth. But that doesn’t mean living a blended life isn’t possible.
    Today we’re talking about how to build a blended life. We’re covering 7 life-blending tips in 17 minutes, so let’s dive in!

  • Are You a Leader? See a Counselor.
    No matter how well you handle stress at work or feel about your mental health as a whole, we believe every leader should see a counselor. 
    Leadership positions naturally come with varying levels of pressure and relational tension. Negative responses mechanisms we learned in childhood can creep into work if left unaddressed. Mental health may suffer, or unchecked work stress can disrupt home life. 
    So we’ll say it again - every leader should see a counselor, and in this episode, you’ll learn more about why. 
    We feel strongly about leaders seeing counselors. Do you? 
    If you’re a leader who has been to a counselor, did your counseling experience better equip you as a leader? Are you a leader who is nervous about going to a counselor? Why? Get involved in the conversation.

  • 4 Markers on the Journey of Building a Great Culture
    “When I started focusing on people, the numbers took care of themselves.”
    That’s a statement I’ve heard time and time again from leaders within our own organization and beyond. When people are valued, they perform differently. Unfortunately, most employees today don’t feel like a priority in their organization. Changing those feelings doesn’t just happen. 
    So what does building a positive company culture look like? It’s a long game, and there are 4 markers that we’ve identified as key mileposts of The Culture Journey. 
    Recognize the Ugly
    Find and Change What Feeds the Ugly
    Train and Develop Toward What Matters 
    Keep it In the Air Space 
    We’re going deep into each of these markers while being honest about our own journey and past. Join us to see where you are, where you’re headed, and how you can get to where you want to be.

  • Discovering Core Values
    Your core values are yours alone. But what happens when the things you say you value don’t actually line up with who you want to be? Or what if you struggle to identify your core values in the first place? 
    We live in a world of values, but core values aren’t things you choose, they’re beliefs you discover. Your core values come from deep within your heart and soul. They are echoed in your behavior and can become part of your personal mission. 
    Today I’ll share my core values and guide you through ways to discover and challenge your own. If you’re following the podcast, I’d love to get emails that include some of your core values before next week.

  • The Three People Every Good Leader Needs
    Who speaks truth to your brain, heart, and soul? Who tells you when you’re wrong? If no one comes to mind, you’re in dangerous territory. 
    Leaders can’t live or lead alone. We believe leaders like us need three kinds of people in our lives. 
    Someone above us.  
    Someone beside us. 
    Someone below us (this is about investing in others, not flexing power). 
    We’re diving deep into each of these three critical roles so you can identify the key relationships in your life and the ones you need to seek out. Grab a pad of paper, take notes, and let us know how these types of people have contributed to your leadership story.

  • Leadership Philosophies

    What is your philosophy on leadership? What do you think makes a great leader? 

    We all have beliefs about what qualities are essential in a good leader, but those beliefs aren’t always in sync with those of our teammates. If you’re leading a team, clarifying your leadership philosophies from the get-go cuts confusion and lets your team into your frame of mind. 

    Today, we’re going over different leadership philosophies, communicating our leadership philosophies, and turning those deeply-held beliefs into action. If you’re leading a team or on a team, there’s something for you in this episode.

  • Chris Gingrasso

    We often take for granted what words actually mean. Taking a step back and redefining certain words can be a great perspective shift for leaders of all kinds.
