This week's episode features a special guest, entrepreneur and author, Michael Alden.  Alden has a simple message for everyone.  He wants to know what your life would look like if you gave five percent more?
Giving five percent more is one of those concepts that is easy to understand (give more effort) but also hard to live (these things are easy not to do).
I take time to talk with Michael Alden about some of the key concepts of his book and how he has applied these concepts to build growing businesses and author popular books so you get a feel for what this could look like for you.

I am a doer and have been a doer my whole life. Because of this, I have to resist the urge to try and get “everything done” in my life.  There are some things that are worth doing and some things that are best left to someone else.  I had to learn to engage in deep, meaningful work on a consistent basis to take my ability to create value for others to the next level.
We live in a world that is fighting for our thoughts and our minds 24/7.  If you don't have a game plan for being intentional, you're a bag blowing in the wind to wherever it takes you.
This week's podcast is about how to rise above the noise and do that deep meaningful work.  Check out the show by clicking the player above or you can subscribe to get weekly updates by clicking the player below.

Being a boss and being in charge doesn't mean you have to be a jerk.  Some owners get so worried about not coming across a certain way, they let too much slide. If you don't take charge, someone else will.  As a business owner, how can you be the boss at the most effective level?
This week's New Work Revolution podcast is all about being the boss and three specific things to keep in mind to make sure that you are truly running the show in your business.

Premature delegation.  So frustrating.  So unsatisfying. You have the money.  You have the desire.  You hire someone and then….utter disaster. It wasn't who you hired as much as it was when you hired. You weren't ready.  You didn't understand enough about what you were delegating.
At some point in time you realize that, as the African Proverb says, if you want to go fast, go by yourself.  If you want to go far, go together. If you want to create bigger results in business, a team will get you there.  There is a time to delegate and there is a time wait.
This week's New Work Revolution podcast is about when you should delegate and when you shouldn't.  If you haven't subscribed in iTunes or Stitcher, get subscribed for regular updates.  Are you a fan of the show?

In the past four episodes of the New Work Revolution podcast, I have taken you through four steps to engaging in tough conversations in a healthy way.  The process sounds nice in theory but people are unpredictable, they don't always play the way you want them to.  Tough conversations at work part 5 is about conversation derailers.
There are a handful of specific ways that another person may use to derail a conversation that they are involved in.  How do you handle defensiveness, passivity, blaming others or when someone blames the situation on you?
This week's podcast is about how to handle the conversation derailers that may come up.  If you missed them, check out:
