SUCH GREAT GEMS on this show! 

Marisa, from actress (and waitress) to educational psychologist and organizational change agent, she brings us concepts so useful in our everyday lives. 

 

What a delight to find someone so aligned in our thinking yet so different in our world paths!

 

Marisa approaches the world and her clients, not from a place of “what’s wrong?” but from a place of exploration of what might be missing and therefore, what might be possible.

 

Some gems in no particular order of importance (they’re all good):

• Culture exists within a climate and that we can change both. Look at the overall climate first. 
• Being joyful is a practice AND and outcome
• We need to bring our humanity into the workplace 
• • It’s a mistake to want to separate it. Attending to humanity is NOT anti-efficiency and does not lower productivity. Quite the opposite!
• We need to attend to psychological safety
• • Start with strengths
• The role of human beings is to be better at being human
• We need to be Adaptive, Agile, and Aware of what we affect
• It’s important to discover what our role is in any conflict
• • This is essential for leaders who just want the other (person or department) fixed

 

• “How can I help you understand where you are in this constellation?”

 

• Triple Bottom Line - People/Planet/Profit
