Sometimes deeply held beliefs and assumptions get in the way of change because they coalesce into biases that people accept as true, right, or morally acceptable.  

Listen in as Yvette and her guest Rick Yvanovich (co-founder and CFO of Great People Inside) explore unlearning, what it is, why it is so relevant as a modern skill, and how to unlearn.

They explore unlearning in the contexts of processes and mental models. It is quite a thought-provoking conversation.

If you want to learn about topics like this, the IFB Academy is an online learning academy for leaders where you can explore out-of-the-box approaches to leadership like leading within organizational ecosystems. 

Why is ecosystem based leadership important? It is more relevant in an unpredictable global environment where adaptability is an essential skill. 

All courses are based on Yvette's award-winning thought leadership research.

When decision-makers set goals that seem impossible to achieve, it is important to take a step back and recalibrate.

They may do this because they aim to help you to stretch beyond your previous best performance.

Sometimes this happens because you and your team have been able to achieve the more difficult goals at great sacrifice, and because you have proven that it can be done, the goals for the next few years prove to be even more difficult.

The more you achieve, the more is expected of you.

To some people communication and information can be used interchangeably. They are connected but they are different. Communication refers to the transmission of a message. Information relates to facts, details, and opinions about a person, place or thing. Information is what is transmitted through communication channels.

At work, feedback is necessary. It shows up in performance coaching sessions when a person is not sure how to do something or when a person is not inclined to do their research. The intention behind offering feedback is to influence change or modify behavior.

However, when it is offered in the form of criticism, even when it is skillfully presented using a non-judgmental tone, people on the receiving end can still feel attacked, disappointed in themselves, or embarrassed. This can lead to reactions such as withdrawal, defensiveness, or even anger. When criticism is extreme, it can be perceived as condescending or even bullying. When this happens, organizations can lose good people, or impair productivity.

Listen in as Yvette Bethel explores how you can restructure feedback to create lasting connections.

I constantly hear employees lament about how hard they work and how their hard work is not noticed. This is because people around them are working just as hard so it has become a basic expectation, not a distinguishing characteristic. Hard work is part of the traditional equation for success but, there are people who automate and/or delegate. Others have figured out how to work three-day weeks that are equally productive. 

Listen in to explore two different work ethics.  Both impact and are impacted by leadership and culture.
