My song lyric today is by ~ Natasha Bedingfield – her song "Unwritten"

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Socrates

 "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

When you hear the word change, what do you immediately feel?  Fear, excitement, uncertainty, all of the above?  Why is it when someone tells us that something is changing, in our work environment, we typically will feel like our stomach is in a knot?  

 The word change at work usually evokes a certain level of panic before we feel or see the possible opportunities that lie within.  We are human and measure this new change based on the discomfort we have felt in the past.  Is there a way for us to breath first and not panic?

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Benjamin Franklin

 "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”

Have you ever wanted to write a book?  What would the topic be and the content within?  Wouldn't be exciting to be published and see your book in Barnes & Noble and on Amazon? Holy Crap that would be so cool right?  So why haven't you written your masterpiece?

 Is it because you have nowhere to begin?  Statistics show that 81% of Americans (about 200 million people) say they have a book in them and less than 10% actually write one.  Kind of sad!

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Jeff Bezos

"When I'm old and dying, I plan to look back on my life and say wow, that was an adventure not, wow, I sure felt safe."

Clearly Mr. Bezos took a leap of faith and I'm quite sure he feels safe now.  But what about us people with careers or maybe just getting started – and decide that they want to pursue their passion, or what they feel is a great idea. 

For some there is an aha! moment, for others it may just be that they can't take the corporate shuffle any longer – and for another group it may be focusing on what was a side hustle and making that their full-time gig.

Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Heidi Anderson. Heidi is going to share her experience of leaving the corporate world for other opportunities.

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Misha.at

"Networking is not collecting contacts! Networking is about planting relations.”

Do you have an idea and not sure what to do with it?  Do you have a creative mind with tons of great ideas that never seem to see the light of day?  Why is that?  Is it because you have no idea where to begin to create clarity with your idea and then how to actually share it with people to help them grow?

You may be thinking, I do not have a network of people to help me bring my innovation to the world!  It's just too hard to meet enough people to help share my message. During the next half hour my guest and I will discuss how to build a network quickly, easily and with an element of serving others.  Sounds interesting doesn't it?

Connie’s motivational quotes for today is by Stephen Covey

"An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way that leads to collective organizational success.”

Would you call yourself a leader who empowers or micromanages your team?  Do you trust that your people understand the organizational strategies and are able to put the strategies into practice?  Micromanaging is dangerous and ineffective, yet so many leaders fear letting go of control and empower their teams. Why?

Today your host Connie Whitman, speaks with Kevin Hancock.  Kevin is the CEO of Hancock Lumber, one of the oldest companies in America and six-time recipient of the Best Places to Work in Maine award.

His new book, The Seventh Power: One CEO'S Journey Into The Business Of Shared Leadership, shares the philosophy, values and strategies Hancock Lumber Company has embraced on its journey toward becoming an employee-centric company – where leadership responsibilities are broadly shared rather than power coming from the top down.
