Pink Grapefruit Podcast

The world of effective leadership is being challenged in an entirely new way. What has historically been utilized in models of organizational leadership no longer resonates with many in the workforce or creates the next level of success. We need to determine our path forward in better leadership behaviors and practices. What are the buckets of focus to begin the process of change? Today, we're talking about the future of leadership. It's already here NOW. What stays, what goes and what behaviors and actions have we not used before? What environment could we create together? Dive in with us.

Why do we rarely talk about the value of emotions at work? Particularly, when it comes to disappointment, frustration, and fear...and LOVE. Research shows when we engage our feelings with those around us in the workplace, stronger bonds are formed and the level of emotional currency rises. Why does this have a direct effect on creative, quality, persistence and overall happiness? Because ultimately it is about the human need to be cared for and loved. Listen in and challenge yourself to develop an awareness about how you create emotional currency.

Welcome to Season 2 of Pink Grapefruit: Saying Yes or No 

We're excited to be back with you for Season 2 of Pink Grapefruit! We've covered some terrific areas of leadership, mindset and success tactics in Season 1 and we intend to dive even deeper in the new season! We'll be talking with more women about their leadership journeys and how they're navigating the world we're in. We'll continue to talk through the hard stuff while adding in some humor, edgy chat and solutions for you to gain the momentum and progress you're craving. 

Today, we decided to have a brief conversation about we say YES or NO to things in life--and how that plays out in so many ways. Join in to listen and let us know how you're evolving between the desire to please others, act out of obligation, or required commitments and being true to our values, resources, goals or genuine desire to say yes.

Join us for the final episode of season 1 where we debate the concept of management vs. leadership and the long-held beliefs that they are two distinct roles in an organization. The notion that managers only find effectiveness through authority and push mental needs a hard stop. And, the view that leaders are the only ones in an organization that create vision, motivate through behaviors and embody an abundance mindset greatly limits the success desired by the people in organizations.
