Lead from Scratch

Have you ever had a boss who was extremely nice, but never gave you the honest feedback that you needed to grow? Do you struggle with giving people feedback because you do not want to hurt their feelings? In this episode, we talk about delivering feedback and how to move from Ruinous Empathy into Radically Candid communication.

We all know someone who is too aggressive, yells too much or is too critical in their communication style. This may even be you. In this episode, we will give practical strategies for how to move out of this place of Obnoxious Aggression and into effective Radically Candid communication.

One of the most overlooked, but important, ingredients to leadership is empathy. While sometimes we hear that being a leader means we should not care for our team, without empathy, our team will feel neglected and perform worse than if we cared for and understood them fully. No matter if you are naturally empathetic or uncertain of what the word even means, this episode will help you care for your team and others around you in a way that will elevate your leadership to the next level.

We often set goals for ourselves, but it can seem impossible to actually achieve those goals, no matter how much we want to achieve them. How many New Years’ resolutions or weight loss challenges have slipped your mind and your habits after a week or a month? This podcast shows us a new way to think about and plan goals so that instead of just setting goals, we will start achieving goals!

Too often in life, we are held back from our goals by self-created obstacles and limiting beliefs: “I’m not talented enough for that”, “I don’t have time to do that”, “I don’t know how to do that so why try”, etc. In this episode, we cover how to overcome those self-defeating beliefs through the use of liberating truths that help us reach our full potential.

We hear it time and time again that communication matters in all aspects of life. But does it really matter in business? Why should I care? What are the best practices for implementing it? We cover all these questions in the episode today.

If you are not healthy, your leadership style and overall effectiveness will struggle. In this episode, we discuss the importance of caring for yourself first and how that can make or break your output and relationships in the workplace.

True leadership is not about how we best promote ourselves, but how best we advance the needs of others. In this episode, we talk about how good leadership is servant leadership which adds value to the people we lead.

No one ever fully arrives as a leader. Leadership takes continual, intentional growth in order to reach our full potential. This means we must step out of our comfort zones and be stretched so that we can find significance as leaders.

Book we recommend:

From individuals to massive corporations, character and values matter and often determine whether our leadership succeeds or fails in the long run. In this episode, we talk about how to lead with character to ensure that our influence lasts for years after we are gone.
