How do you get to be UNSUGARCOATED?

What role are you playing in your own life?

Acknowledge what is going on

Be grateful for being alive

What are the incremental changes you can consider and start

Be willing to Ask Questions. And evaluate situations from multiple perspectives 

Look at your own operating system 

Admit, Ask and Adjust  your operating system

Mentors are important look and work with one

Will you be willing to be authentic with your self

Find out what works for you? and do more of it

When you can do this for yourself, and are empowered, you can contribute to others by volunteering your time with organisations to help them and their missions as well.

This is a conversation for those who dare to be different and choose a way to be authentic within themselves. It is not about fitting in, and it is more about being truthful to who you are and what you do.

I asked my guest to elaborate on the “Dropping The Facades”

Do we all have facades?  

Do they work for us or against us?

When change occurs what do we actually go through?

What we have been great at in the past, can it be woven into what we do now?  

So if we do choose to change, What are somethings we can become aware of

What does the future of leadership look like?

Is there a willingness to question what's not working?

What are some of the different approaches one can consider?

What needs to change?

I invited Paul McCarthy The Chief Fired Officer of discuss what FIRED Leadership was all about. Having been fired from four jobs, I was curious to find out what actually transpired for him to be hired and then get fired, that too four times over. 

What unfolded was that he was FIRED FOR WHAT HE WAS HIRED TO DO! Didn't make any sense so we did a deep dive on the topic. 

• Was Paul, not capable for the job? 
• Was he not liked by the people in the company? 
• Was he totally unsuited for the role? 

But then would that be the reason for him getting fired with all 4 organizations??? 

Well, that's the strange part, after 6 to 9 lengthy interview processes he was found the perfect match for the four companies that appointed him. He was appointed to challenge status quo, the prevailing methods were not bringing about the desired results for the companies that appointed him. His role was to disrupt status quo, to help the organizations break away from the mundane way of conducting business, he was to come up with something innovative creative that would make the organization grow and do much better, He then gets fired for it. 

What did Paul learn through these several firings, 

• Did he go why me? 
• Did he wallow in self pity? 
• Did he doubt himself? 

Well None of the above, instead he made it his mission to delve deeper to find out what made organizations hire to challenge status quo and then fire people. Paul has started something of a movement called FIRED LEADERSHIP and in this interview he shares what FIRED ACTUALLY STANDS FOR.

 In his words and I agree, if any organization has to progress, it has to be open to Challenging Status Quo, after all, it is when you allow for that, can any organization truly grow. 

The question though is; 

• Are Organizations Willing to Challenge and or Disrupt Status Quo? 
• Is the Leadership within the organizations willing to do so? 
• Do they allow for these kinds of conversations. 

The future of the workplace depends on innovation, creation and engaging everyone to participate that can only happen when the objective of the organization is greater than any hidden agendas or personal biases that come in the way of the progress of any Organization.

This is what you will get to hear about.

• Is it easy to transition Industries as a marketeer?
• What is a Marketing Advocate?
• Can we be Customer Advocates? What?  How does that even work
