Pink Grapefruit Podcast

Getting civility back...let's just start there. We've become so divided in so many ways as a society, how do we lead ourselves back to a culture of civility? In this episode we are digging into beliefs and thoughts about where we are as a country and how we lost sight of civility in favor of the loudest voice at the mic. We will talk about questions and conversations we are not having, and how we might find new balance. What necessary conversations are you not having?

In this episode we had the pleasure of spending time with Founder and Chairperson, Pam Boney of Tilt365. Think you've seen and heard all the "personality assessments" out there? And they're all basically the same? Think again. Not only do we utilize this exclusively with our clients, it's a core compound on our own team. How did it come to life, what makes it different and what does the future hold? We tackle these topics and more as Pam shares her journey of leading this distinct organization and why it creates success for those who embed it within their culture. And we're still running down the inevitable Sasquatch question. Where does she stand?? Join us for a few laughs and meaty conversation.

One of the best things about our world? The gift of having great conversations with those newer generation women that are doing--and more importantly--BEING--fabulous humans in so many ways. With us as our guest today is Hannah Menzner, former Miss Idaho USA, published author of 'Glass Ceiling Epiphanies' and a current MBA graduate from Wharton School of Business. Hannah walks us through her journey, what she had to learn, how she's developed her confidence and what advice she has for other young women--and the young men around them. Her interest and dedication to suicide prevention has been a leading force in her heart for years and she offers her insights for not only those facing mental health challenges, but those close to them as well. Listen in as we talk careers, being bold and not letting societal limits hold anything back. And Deanna's favorite: where does she stand on sasquatch? Real or fake. The important things in life matter.

As we tackle life, both at work and home, we're often faced with complicated and complex situations and projects. Building an airplane: Complicated or Complex? Raising children: Complicated or Complex? Do you know how to define the differences in these? Does your team have crystal clarity on it? Does your environment allow for true creativity and what that looks like at this point in our world? The lack of this is often the reason projects blow up, families don't flow well together and chaos ensues. In this episode we break apart these components and dial in the details surrounding it all. We're super grateful in part, to our friend, @EverettHarper, Founder of Truss who dove in deeply with this subject to allow his team to function at an entirely new level. He shares these concepts and more in his book 'Move to the Edge, Declare it Center' which is a highly recommended read.

The day begins with the challenge to understand, uncover and connect as humans through authentic sharing in a way you haven't before. No problem-solving, no operationalizing allowed. Just discovery. Tune in as we open this conversation on the value of a curious mindset.

Creating a foundation of trust, and authenticity often takes an innovative approach that allows people to share and grow in new ways. Today, Kathy and I play one of our own games we use in our work with others. In The Ring is a beautifully designed game from our friends at the not-for-profit organization, The Flourish Foundation. They've busted out their best ideas to help people dive into their values in a unique way. This game is highly engaging and effective in cultural efforts, connection and team building. It pulls us out of our comfort zone and helps us build empathy and safe spaces. Take a break today and see how we challenge and inquire about pieces of life that we value, enjoy and sometimes struggle with. Then want to know more? Interested in trying the game with your team? Believe us, it's COOL and has had powerful impacts on so many.

Great leaders don't shy away from asking deep, tough questions. Yet it's easy to get caught in the standard thoughts and not truly dig into spaces that can cause the shifts we're looking for. Today we tackle some of these questions with a big thank you to Robert Rowland Smith and his recent post on LinkedIn for inspiring our conversation today! Our world is craving better thinking and better solutions. Let's start by asking better questions of ourselves. What gritty questions would you add to this list?

How well do you really know and understand yourself? What about those around you? Have you gone beyond the surface of personality and character? Gaining a thorough understanding of how we're hard and soft-wired is critical for leaders to move effectively into the future. Humans are complicated creations and truly making it a priority to understand all the dynamics is key. Today, we dig into the topic of awareness. Take a break with us and listen in!

As we continue our conversation to define who the future is calling us to be as leaders, we cover the behavior around flexibility. It's about an agile approach--modeling it and encouraging it. Can your team easily pivot when needed? Can they recognize a roadblock and have confidence to remove it, go around it or find a better path? As the future is upon us now, it's calling us to become an Evolved Leader. And that means we need to dive deeper into key areas of behavior. We need to know our team members in a different way and make a plan of action accordingly. How can we develop the flexibility needed as this world is rocking constant change--which isn't going to slow down, by the way. Listen in as Kathy and Deanna talk through becoming the leader our future needs.

In this episode, we continue to talk through the concept Deanna is so passionate about: reimagining what our future needs from leaders. What behaviors and skills remain? Where do we need to evolve and build deeper into? As W. Edwards Deming famously talked about: "You don't need to change. Your survival is not mandatory." We see this consistently in our work with clients. People--and organizations--that dig their proverbial heels in on the traditional belief systems of structure, power, command and hierarchical models, are feeling pain and dysfunction at increasing levels. And if they don't think that's the case, then denial is certainly driving the bus. They are attempting to demand that the way humans want to work now, compared to 4 years ago pre-pandemic, is somehow going to fit in the box if they try hard enough. If they ask their workforce, we're betting they would hear a different story. As the newer generations gain experience and influence in companies, how everyone functions is changing, that's a given. These generations are compelling our models to shift. They want more from those who lead the way. They expect teams to function differently and more effectively, all wrapped in a flexible, trusted method of operation. It's quickly becoming a new world. Isn't it better to be in front of the shift? Let's go.
