As a follow-up to last week's session, where we explored a personal leadership inventory, today we'll talk about how to carry your leadership skills across an organization. Starting with an MIT study on the critical importance of "micro-interactions" through the deleterious effect of emotional contagion, we'll explore why staff disengages, and what strategies you can immediately employ to re-engage them.

The lost productivity cost of a disengaged team is in the billions - can you afford not to take action?

If we're not careful, we can fall into an "every day like the last" groove in these exceptional times we all face. I did - and found my way out.

I'll share my "Hell's Kitchen Revelation" moment in today's episode.

Imagine after 100 years finding out that a painting hanging in your living room is secretly worth $935 million. It happened - in Dublin, Ireland. Imagine 156,000 football fields lined end to end with dollar bills you walk past every day never knowing their value. In this episode we explore the psychological principle of behavioral scripting. Are you walking by millions of your own?

At the end of the session, I mention a remarkable video created by composer Eric Whittaker - who united 3,746 voices from 73 countries in song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3rRaL-Czxw It's inspiring, and so worth a listen!

Interned during WW1, circus entertainer Joseph Pilates used found materials and his fellow prisoners as his test lab, and imagined an exercise system that would captivate millions. Imagine the ingenuity now only during a time of war, but amidst a global pandemic, Pilates has shown that survival is predicated upon taking action and leadership. The next time you feel that pandemic Netflix binge coming on, think about what you can do to boost your immune system and protect yourself through prevention beyond masks and social distancing. Phil and Jason take this topic head on.
