On today’s episode, I’m answering some of YOUR questions about how to succeed in spite of changes and stress at work.

1. My team gets stressed at work when someone else makes a mistake. How can I reduce their suffering and get them helping, instead of judging?

2. We are moving into a new space within the year and there is a lot of turmoil and drama on the team. How can I get them to see the new opportunities instead of the negative?

This week, Alex Dorr finally pinned me down to talk about feedback in the workplace! He was able to pull out some of my best stories on the subject, which I'm confident will keep you entertained and learning how the ego can easily interfere in these conversations. Many fear giving and receiving feedback, but when it's based in reality - there's nothing to fear. This podcast is great for leaders and individual contributors alike!

This podcast is a call to greatness for leaders who are practicing the philosophy to stay true to a wider concept of keeping an open mind, an open heart and staying curious. It's about how we can fall into overusing one part of the philosophy - calling people to greatness, accountability - and underusing self-compassion and compassion towards others. When this happens, we find ourselves out of balance.

My desire is for you to use this podcast as a self-reflection of how you are evolving yourself first, and then your talent, so you can go out and do great things in this world.

I love this week's guest, as she takes an evidence-based approach to prepare and engage working moms (aka "LeaderMoms") in the sometimes wonderful, sometimes rocky, professional path. This episode is great for moms and employers alike as we find a way to address real business problems of unwanted turnover and gender equality, while reducing the guilt, anxiety, and fear that comes along with being a LeaderMom.
