In this week’s episode of ICommunicate, Danielle Lariviere joins Mark to discuss how making incremental habit changes and setting boundaries drastically improves your productivity and the ability to effectively support your team

Segment 1:

We often understate the impact that a coach can have on our development as leaders. How can admitting our flaws lead to growth -- not only within ourselves, but with the team we manage as well? How can we make employees feel like their role in the business is meaningful?

Segment 2:

Day in and day out, we’re knee deep in emails, frantically responding and reacting, causing our priorities to constantly shift by the minute. How can we manage our time and attention to allow us to respond to these emails without losing track of our own priorities? How can self-awareness provide us with the ability to structure our day around what really matters?

Segment 3:

You’d be amazed at the difference a daily 30-minute break can make for your team. How can hitting the “reset” button on someone’s brain lead to more relaxed and productive work? How can we change the narrative on daily interruptions so that they’re a scheduled event rather than something we’re reacting to?

Segment 4:

As leaders, our decisions regarding priorities sends a message to our team, letting them know whether or not they fit into our schedule. How can we establish a culture of understanding and accountability to ensure that everybody’s needs are tended to? Why is it important that leaders and their teams have the same standards for time and attention management?
