Our nation experienced a domestic terrorist attack this past week on the Capitol in Washington DC. What is it that allows us to get to the point when things that like seem to happen "to" us?

Accountability seems to be lacking in our world. Join me for this conversation about naming the elephant in the room when we need to have fierce leadership dialogues.

There is a distinction between motivation and inspiration, and it might create better relationships if we really own that distinction.

Today I mention the book "The Thin Book of Naming Elephants" and also "QBQ."

Dave Goodall came to coaching via his career as an electrical engineer. Not the way most people do it, but Dave's not like most people.

He understands that we attract what we most think about, so it's no surprise to him that he attracted horrible leaders throughout his career prior to coaching.

Listen in as he shares his experiences, including his influences and mentors like like Joe Dispenza, Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, and Dr. Matt James.

Hear about his personal growth journey and why he feels he's been gifted with dyslexia because it allows him to see things others can't see.

What you resist is there to teach you a lesson or to bring you some meaning for your life, but you have to be open to accept it. This is the difficulty, and the opportunity as we say good-bye to 2020.

When you know yourself well enough to understand your purpose, you find it easier to accept what you previously resisted, and the lessons come much more easily.

Today I talk about some of the awarenesses I've realized in 2020.

I also talk about Dick Richards and his book "Is Your Genius At Work?"

Facebook always asks that question when you go to post ... and it's a good one. Do you feel you have to have answers before you can even ask the question? Do you have a place to work through your questions so you can look for solutions instead of answers?

And what happens when you have new awarenesses without a place or a circle or a tribe to work those new awarenesses out?

If you are feeling restless and discontented, you might be looking for the Get REAL Circle.

Listen in as I ponder - with the help of our Facebook Live commenters - some of these questions.

This is one of the most fun interviews I did on my previous podcast Bock Talks with a fascinating young man, Carl Wallin. (It was from May, not March as I say in the intro ... but 2020 was pretty mushed together, so who knows the difference?).

While he is only 27 years old, Carl shares his journey from being a small kid with Napoleon complex to a determined skateboarder and video game champion to his struggle with depression and anxiety which led to his amazing determination to become an award-winning bodybuilder and a champion of positivity.

Just one of the many nuggets from Carl: 

"Don't set your standards too low. Open others' eyes and show them the immense value of raising your standards."

"They" always say that hindsight is 20/20, and at the beginning of this year I thought it would be great to treat 2020 with a bit of foresight instead. 

"What do you want to create?" I asked myself as I looked ahead to this year. My word for 2020 was FOCUS because I figured it would be great to be in charge of the outcome.

Ha. We all know how that worked. So in this episode I truly look back on 2020 with hindsight, and get reflective about what each of us can choose to leave behind, and what we will choose to take forward into this brand new year.

Join Jodee as she explores what it means to Play to the Edges in your life, what it means to be, do or have "enough," and also touches on the distinction between security and freedom.

Jodee mentions the book "Why Enough is Never Enough" by Gregory S. Jeffrey.

All other things being equal, people will do business with, and refer business to, people they know, like, and trust. This is just some of the wisdom from author and networking master Bob Burg. 

In this conversation, I chat with Bob about his career in radio and TV, sales, and eventually to his becoming a speaker and author specializing in authentic relationship building.

Bob is the co-author of The Go-Giver, Go-Giver Leader, Go-Givers Sell More, and Go-Giver Influencer, as well as the author of Endless Referrals and Adversaries into Allies. Together his books have sold more than a million copies, and have appeared on multiple best seller lists.

Bob is a sought-after speaker, who is shifting his business to the virtual world.

Today I share my insights about Learning, the L of the REAL acronym. What kinds of lessons has your life been trying to share with you? Are you noticing? Sometimes I'm not ... and then I get a chance to be awakened.

I share information about Lisa Ling's documentary called This is Life on CNN. Here is a more information about the episode I reference:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/29/us/this-is-life-with-lisa-ling-prison-prep-school-audio/index.html

Today's episode has Jodee asking some questions to help us all get more Authentic ... which is the A of the REAL acronym. When you peel back the layers of the onion which your true self, it can be painful.

However the pain of becoming authentic, is worth it when you can connect with others, and even more so when you are challenged to become your best self when those others trust you enough to tell the truth.

If words create worlds, what kind of world are your words creating?
