We're doing some major strategizing behind the scenes of Coffee on Leadership, so I'm releasing another replay episode that feels relevant because I've been digging into my creative side lately!

Believing creativity can change the way employees approach problems and reframe work is at the core of building better results in projects, teams, and even personal life design. But time and time again we need to be reminded of how we are creative as leaders. In this episode, I give 4 steps for growing in your creative confidence and challenge you to see yourself for the creative leader you are because we are all in a cycle of creative process and press-- which fuels innovation if we start looking for the deeper problem we need to solve in our work.

I have had a lot of conversations this week about change, and the reality is that leadership development is the human side of change. So I want to talk to you about some of the things that have come up in these conversations this week today on the podcast because I know how easy it is to distance ourselves from change, when we should really face it head on. Change can be sustainable, change can make you a better leader. Listen in to find out how!

Original show notes:

Everywhere I turn, strategists and developers and coaches are reminding leaders and business owners to return to the "why" in the work. While it may seem like it is everywhere, Simon Sinek's Golden Circle principle that sparked the "why" movement empowers this generation of leaders to be inspired and motivated. While a good leader knows their why, a great leader can communicate their why – in this episode, find out why communication can be key to unlocking employee engagement.

By now you've heard about it, maybe even picked up a paddle, but you'd have to be living under a rock to not know that pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports right now. I started playing, just as a small hobby to start, last summer. I never imagined that I’d be as obsessed as I am now – with my $200 racket and regular games 3x a week. But of course, throughout my own rise as a pickleball player, I’ve seen the ways in which this sport, or trying something new in general, relates to leadership development. So let’s break it down in under 20 minutes today so that you, too, can pick up a new hobby and become a better leader while you’re at it. Cheers!

Sometimes work gets busy and things get pushed to the back burner, and that's okay - it's also why I'm bringing a special replay episode to you today that covers an endlessly buzzy topic: burnout. I couldn't record a fresh episode this week because I got busy with some client work and wanted to avoid burnout. So let's talk about what burnout actually is, what causes it, and the different ways you can heal from and avoid it. If you originally listened to this episode when it aired in 2021, I invite you to listen again for a refresher.

Take notes so that you can answer these questions:

- What is workplace burnout?

- What are the 3 primary ways burnout shows up in your life?

- What are the 6 causes of burnout?

- What questions can you be asking yourself to change those 6 causes?

After recording this episode, we realized there's so much more to this recipe, so stay tuned for another burnout episode in the future!

Last week on the podcast we talked about finding mentors in unlikely places, and I got to thinking that what happens when we do this is we're really gaining in that wisdom and insight and knowledge that they're sharing – even if the medium we are learning from them is unconventional. So I started thinking about how we look for learning and curate curiosity in our life and in our leadership and that's what we're going to talk about today. I want to talk about curating curiosity because so often, we're stuck in the grind of our everyday work and life that we forget that getting curious is really, really important for any process, and for any level of growth. Grab your cup of coffee and dig in with me, hopefully you’ll leave feeling curious to learn more!

You know that phrase, “It's all who you know,” is really true. I mean, think about it, you've probably known somebody in your life who has helped you get a job interview or set you up with the right person or given you a recommendation for a great restaurant – and it's all because of who you know. This saying also rings true when it comes to your own leadership development by way of mentorship. Mentors are the stars that guide you, and when you find a really good one, it can be a huge catalyst for your career (and your life) as you grow into the leader, worker, or business owner that you want to be. But how do you find a good mentor? Tune in to today’s episode to find out!

I wanted to kick off this New Year's episode that will be coming to you at the end of January with a reminder that it doesn't have to be “new year new you,” it doesn't have to be big lofty goals, it doesn't have to be worry that you've already dropped your resolutions. This new year can be just a constant commitment to your vision and how you're feeling. So let’s talk about that today, along with the simple ways you can make 2023 your best year for leadership development yet – and it doesn't have to be huge things, it can start with small steps to get there. Also, as we head into the new year, I have big plans for the podcast. But if there’s something that you want to learn together on the show, please let me know! Cheers to 2023, I’m looking forward to our next cup of coffee.
