Vic Verchereau welcomes Phil McKinney the Pastor of Believers Church, author, and successful life coach.

Some ask "What is a pastor/life coach going to be able to provide that will help me in the marketplace?" There is so much to consider when thinking about the world from a pastor's perspective. They are people dealing with customers up close, they are running non-profits with opinions coming in from everywhere and coaching teams and individuals through some of life's toughest issues.

Phil says, “when you are stuck, there is only one way to get out - you need help”! The biggest enemy to asking for help is our own ego. You can continue to spin your wheels or you can connect yourself to a coach, and get moving again! As John Maxwell says, "One is too small of a number to achieve greatness." Getting the help you need is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of determination. You will feel a sense of revival as you begin to take ground again, and the passion to succeed will fuel you on to the next level. No Ego is your lifeline! Grab ahold and let's get moving again! This edition of the Leadership Lowdown is your ticket to getting leadership tips for a fast-moving world! Listen in!

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Mark Ostach, Digital Wellness Author and Human Connection Expert; who works with Fortune 500 companies & entrepreneurial start-ups. to discuss How A Simple Warm-Up Exercise Has Gained Traction Fostering Connection In the Hybrid Workplace.

News about ‘The Great Resignation’ has led many employees to think now is a good time for them to leave too. Research shows employees’ primary motive behind the mass exodus is the failure to develop relationships in their hybrid workplace. Employers can turn the tide of the “Great Resignation” to “Great Retention” without giving away big bonuses, pay raises, and extra vacation days. Instead, employers simply need managers to do a better job keeping their teams engaged, according to leading Digital Wellness author and human connection expert Mark Ostach, who works with Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurial start-ups.

In their conversation, Mark shares about:

· Recently, 4.4 million employees have quit their jobs. Reports about ‘The Great Resignation’ have led many employees to think now is a good time for them to leave too. Research shows employees’ primary motive behind the mass exodus is the failure to develop relationships in their hybrid workplace.

· Employers can turn the tide of the “Great Resignation” to “Great Retention” without giving away big bonuses, pay raises, and extra vacation days. Instead, employers simply need managers to do a better job keeping their teams engaged. A simple warm up exercise has gained traction fostering connection in the hybrid workplace.

· The ‘If You Really Knew Me’ icebreaker breaks down the barriers employees have built up during the pandemic. Once participants begin with “If you Really Knew Me”, they open up and begin sharing, it helps to create an atmosphere of connection. I describe it as a sort of relational release of built up tension from not being physically in front of each other. The exercise creates an authentic sense of connection in a hybrid workplace.

· Responses from employees included: If You Really Knew Me You’d Know That…

· I have a brother with special needs

· My all-time favorite musician is saxophone player, KennyG

· My mother died last month and I’m struggling to get out of bed.

· I have 2 overweight cats that sleep by my home office while I work all day

· The most impactful time spent facilitating virtual meetings is watching employees be more vulnerable and share their emotions. Former participants say they are now incorporating the ‘If You Knew Me’ exercise with their team.
