In this shorty episode of Finding the Upside, we are answering a comment from Episode #29 Want Raving Fans? Focus on Building Systems for Predictable Outcome where I talked about how a lot of companies, business owners use the excuse that they can't find people to work. The comment refers back to the topic of recruiting staff in today’s labor market. The rise of side hustles and gig work have been driven by companies seeking to cut costs and maximize profitability. Our current gig economy has led to a shortage of dedicated and loyal employees.

On today's episode of Finding the Upside, I am talking with Sam Manon about why being a Rebel Leader and breaking away from traditional leadership is most effective. I have always upheld a "doing it different" approach to leadership because I found that it worked better. And this was not the norm and counter to "corpotate think" so it proved tricky at times to operate that way. Sam and I have shared a close friendship spanning over 30 years, and co-led together in senior management at my last coporate position. In this episode, we discuss our unique approach to leadership during a time when traditional leadership styles were the norm. Join us as we dive into our personal experiences and recount the challenges we faced while applying a non-traditional leadership style to show how being a Rebel Leader is the new norm. Listen now!

During my days in the corporate world, I remember feeling that the work I was doing had no impact on the world. That was so unfulfilling. And when I left to begin my entrepreneurial journey and began to think about  my own brand values, I realized something. I realized that I was more like Millenials and GenZ in what I wanted working in a corporate environment….and sadly didn't find.  In this shorty episode, I’m diving deep into discovering why I am more like Millennials and Generation Z rather than Generation X. Tune in now!

We often associate our purpose with our job and all too often that can be limiting, causing us to feel unfulfilled.  And the truth is your calling and purpose might not be your job, but might be a step towards finding your calling. Embracing that it’s a journey allows you to discover that as you walk towards a fuzzy targett…even if you don’t have it completely in focus. In today’s episode, I am talking about the journey of finding your purpose and how to overcome the feeling of being stuck in identifying your life's calling. 

Figuring out how to get the people you lead to do what you want them to can be challenging. Often leaders may struggle with this because they don’t understand the link between their actions and that of their team. In today’s shorty episode of Finding the Upside, I am talking about how modeling plays a role in what others do, and I’m sharing a simple story to help illustrate how it can go wrong. Tune in to get the secrets I’m spilling on how to impact your team for the best outcome.
