  • What is integrity?
    By definition integrity has to do with holding a moral standard. But does that mean that someone you think doesn't have integrity simply has different moral standards than you?
     
    Listen in as Sara Oblak Speicher, Tim Hawkes, James Lee and I wade into this meaty subject.

  • How to increase creativity
    The buzz word is innovation but at its core it is creativity. Some very smart people label themselves "not creative" but ask the right question and ideas just explode out of them. Creativity isn't just for "creatives."
     
    Listen in as Gareth Russell, Gordon Hall, Steve Thomson and I have to creatively work around a strange tech glitch to have, what turned out to be, a super interesting and thought provoking conversation.

  • How to know when to delegate
    Being able to effectively delegate the right things at the right time to the right people is an important factor of success. But all of my clients have struggled with what and how. I'd love to hear what makes you decide to delegate something. Or are you trying to do it all yourself?
     
    Listen in as Simon Coles, Vanessa Cuddeford, Sara Oblak Speicher, and I jump headlong into the conversation.

  • Creating and maintaining elegant boundaries
    Having boundaries is messy. Should we even have them? Should they always be flexible? Should we feel guilty about creating boundaries and expecting them to be respected? Are there some boundaries we should push on and even break through?
     
    Thank you to Sara Oblak Speicher, Wayne Buckhanan, and Karina Hulstrom for wading into the conversation with me.

  • Burnout: What is it? How to catch it in yourself or your employees

    The term "burnout" is a catch-all for anything that results in exhaustion or overwhelm. Listen in as Rick Alcantara, Steve Thomson, James (Jim) Lee and I talk about burnout not being personal failure and how Covid may have made it worse and harder to notice.

  • Can people in power (leaders) ever really know the truth?

    The more power you have the more likely it is that people are only going to tell you the good news. Problems will be buried until they explode onto your desk in spectacular fashion. But does that HAVE to be the case? Is there a way for leaders to create a culture where all the relevant information they need to make good decisions reaches them?

    Rowley Maggs, Lena Sobel and I tackled this challenging subject and we think the answer is yes. Listen in as we work through the pitfalls and share ideas for leaders to make sure they get the truth.

  • How to make friends as a grown up

    I have heard a lot of people talk about how hard it is to make friends as an adult. I invited Robert People and Wayne Buckhanan to discuss the topic with me. What I thought was going to be a conversation about why it is hard to make friends turned into a conversation about how making friends works for each of us. Listen in and you'll learn a lot more about my personality than I usually share in these conversations. :-)

  • Is Grit Contagious?

    Can you help someone else become gritty? Is there a way to give it to someone else without traumatizing them? What is the downside of having too much grit? Listen in as Melody DeYoung, James Blair, James H. Lee and I talk about how #LearnedHelplessness, #Burnout and #Grit interrelate.

  • How to Build Grit

    Grit, the ability to keep going when the going gets tough, is seen as a valuable asset. Companies love to hire gritty people and being an entrepreneur takes an unbelievable amount of grit. But if you don't have it, is it something you can develop?

    Listen in as Melody DeYoung, James Blair, James H. Lee and I jump into this conversation with both feet.
