June 11, 2018 355: How to Approach Corporate Budgeting, with Jody Wodrich
Jody Wodrich: Corporate Budgeting
Jody Wodrich is an executive leader in Southern California and has served his organization for over 20 years. On this episode, he shares some of the key leadership skills and considerations when creating an organizational budget.
Key Points
When budgeting, think about the big picture.
Start off simple with the fixed and flexible expenses.
Money is the foundation behind what you do, but people are the ones implementing them. Think about the people when making budgets.
If you don’t budget your money, it will just seem to evaporate and you’ll have no idea where it went.
Don’t just examine your budget once a year.
Think about how closely you’re watching your money.

May 28, 2018 353: Enhance Your Self-Awareness, with Daniel Goleman
Daniel Goleman: Emotional Intelligence
In 1995, Daniel Goleman published the blockbuster bestselling book Emotional Intelligence*, a book that now has more than 5 million copies in print worldwide in 40 different languages. He’s the author of a new series of primers for the competencies of emotional and social intelligence, titled Building Blocks of Emotional Intelligence* and he’s launching an emotional intelligence coaching certification.
Key Points
Emotional Intelligence has given us permission to talk about emotion in the workplace.
Emotional Intelligence is about how well you can manage yourself.
Self-awareness is fundamental.
If you have a sense of your true strengths and weaknesses, you can have self-confidence that is based on reality.
If you feel your emotions flaring up, pause and name what’s going on. That’ll allow the executive part of your brain to take back charge.
Notice what your triggers are and intentionally avoid them.
Self-awareness can give you insights into bad habits you might have as a leader.

May 21, 2018 352: How to Find Your Calling, with Ken Coleman
Ken Coleman: One Question
Ken Coleman is a Dave Ramsey personality and host of The Ken Coleman Show and the top-rated EntreLeadership Podcast. He’s also the author of One Question: Life-Changing Answers from Today’s Leading Voices*. Ken joined the Dave Ramsey team in 2014 and frequently guest hosts The Dave Ramsey Show, the third-ranked nationally syndicated talk radio show in America.
Key Points
The fear of the unknown scares us from changing careers.
The fear of regret may outweigh other fears.
Ask yourself who you most want to help and what problem you most want to solve.
The sweet spot is when you use your top talent to perform your top passion.
The safe decision is often not the smartest decision.

May 19, 2018 351: The Value of Pivoting for Growth, with Beth Garrison
Beth Garrison: Shaping Development
Beth Garrison is the senior consultant of Shaping Development and the owner of Operant Coffee. She is a board certified behavior analyst by training — and previously was the CEO of a non-profit services division. She’s in her second year of membership in the Coaching for Leaders Academy.
Key Points
When you create new boundaries, relationships can change.
Once you’ve set boundaries, you can finally start to focus on the things you always wanted to.
It’s a good thing to go outside of your direct network to work through tough problems.
Flexibility is very important in today’s fast-paced world.

Ginger Hardage is the former senior vice president of culture at Southwest Airlines.

Cultures don’t happen accidentally — they have to be managed.
Start with your company values and then hire for those values.
Use peers to help select and interview candidates.
If the leadership team is not fully engaged, employees will be able to tell.
Capture customer stories and share them with your employees.
Set your company vision and expectations, but don’t prescribe how you employees must go about doing it.

April 30, 2018 347: The Power of Weak Connections, with David Burkus
David Burkus: Friend of a Friend
David Burkus is a best-selling author, a sought-after speaker, and an associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University. His TED talk has been viewed over 1.8 million times, he is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, and he’s now listed on Thinkers50. He’s just released his new book, Friend of a Friend*.
Key Points
Networking should not just be about meeting total strangers.
Constantly providing value to your network doesn’t mean you have to be close friends with everyone.
It’s impossible to maintain close ties with everyone in your network.
Don’t just rely on close connections, because they’re likely in the same circles as you.
Weak ties are more likely to provide valuable information.
When networking, it’s fine to start with your close connections to warm up, but you can’t stop there.
Don’t let your connections get too dormant — regularly engage with them.
Follow people on social media to know what’s going on in their lives, and then send them a personal message.
Make your inner circle diverse to be sure you’re getting the wide-ranging insight you need.
A diverse network will give you information you wouldn’t otherwise have.

April 23, 2018 346: The Way to Build Relationships at Conferences, with Robbie Samuels
Robbie Samuels: Croissants vs. Bagels
Robbie Samuels has been recognized as a networking expert by Inc. and Lifehacker, and is the author of Croissants vs. Bagels: Strategic, Effective, and Inclusive Networking at Conferences.* He’s a member of the National Speakers Association and has been speaking on the topic of inclusive networking for over a decade.

Key Points
If you’re brand new to a conference, scan the floor and look for welcoming people. If you don’t see anyone, get in a line somewhere to meet people.
If you’re a regular at the conference, think of yourself as a host.
A lot of networking success is about preparation.
When you go into a session early, don’t just hop on your phone. Talk to people.
When a line forms to talk to a speaker, work the line. It’s a great opportunity for networking.
Organizing a networking event at a conference is a great way to meet people.
