The best teacher in the world is generosity.

You might think that giving is a passive and one-sided experience but when you have the mindset it can be quite the opposite.

Some of the greatest business lessons I’ve learned have come from observing generosity and experiencing it’s power.

People pleasing can mask itself as generosity. This leads to complacency, taking advantage of others, and overall malaise. Be careful giving people what they want and not what they need.

Assuming it’s true generosity. You’ll have plenty of chances to learn how it can transform lives and businesses for good.

I have 3 main lessons I’ve learned over the years and I share them in this episode. This is not to say there aren’t other lessons or that these 3 are the most important to you. But either way, you’ll find value in what a generous culture will tell you about people.

And business is all about people, right?

Take some concise notes on this one (this comes up in the episode 😉)

Learn generously today. 😀

Start by giving more than taking but don’t stop there.

There are all kinds of leadership. There are different prescribed styles - endless books and even more opinions. I think most are a positive influence but nothing is more important than being generous. In fact, I think being generous alone, makes you a leader.

It’s important to think about the things that make you generous more than the things that make you leader. Perhaps the title to thig episode is off. Maybe it should be “How to be Generous…so that You’ll Become a Leader”. Either way, I the mindset is critical. The actions come.

I have 4 important ways to act that will be key for acting as a generous leader - which will build a generous workplace culture.

*And there’s also a bonus! It’s not #5 😉

Have a generous day 😀

You have to be accurate and reliable to be authentic.

I don’t know any leaders that would disagree with that but why does it seem so hard to be those things?

It’s because we are very distracted by the world. Our greatest focus will produce our greatest results. If you’re trying to build a generous culture in your life and your workplace, you have to spend the time on these things.

Great leaders will radically chase after generosity. They will give when others expect them to take - and it’s not fake (nice rhyme, huh? 😉). That’s authentic.

I have 6 actions for you to take. Yes, actions. You have to do more than listen to me and write these things down. They are actions that will display your authenticity, inspire your team, and grow your business. 📈

Personal growth is interpersonal.

There is a lot of advice out there about taking care of yourself. The self-help industry is booming.

This episode provides 8 non-traditional habits that will help maximize your growth.

Focus on building just one of them and you’re guaranteed to get in the virtuous cycle of them all.

Enjoy the growth. 📈

People work better when they work together.

A rock star employee (or leader) is nothing without a rockstar team.

Generous workplace cultures can be full of talented individuals but the team is way better than the sum of it’s parts.

A great culture attracts great people because they feel a collaborative and fulfilling environment. Leaders and team members alike each are a contributing part to the greater mission.

There are certain techniques you can use to foster the right environment and encourage people to use their gifts and skills to contribute to the greater good. I have 6 for you to implement in your business.

Have a collaborative day with your people. 🤝

Generous workplace cultures are never built by chance.

There must be intentional pieces to foster the proper environment. I have 8 I normally concentrate on and speak about.

This doesn’t mean there are only 8. In fact, I encourage you to come up with your own but these will be a good start regardless of your industry and unique position.

The focus is always on people and making sure they have everything they need (tangible and intangible) for two things:

1. Feeling highly capable in contributing to your company’s mission

2. To do their work.

Give people what they need and they’ll do what it takes to help themselves and their colleagues.

Note that each of the things on the list also applies to bosses, managers, leaders, and executives. None of these things escapes anyone in a company.

It’s a full group effort.

Have a generous day with your people. 🤝

The way you ask questions matters.

We all have our list of cliché pleasantries.

My favorite is, “What’s up?”. Do I really care what is up? I like to think so but it’s not always the case.

Generous workplace culture is full of people who really care about the well-being of others. They want to know how they can be helpful.

I have 3 questions that are generous twist on some more typical ones that are used in the workplace.

Great leaders will make people feel like they really care.

And you do really care, right?

I believe you do and that you’ll have generous day. 😜

You can’t fake it ‘til you make it.

Generosity, by definition, requires sincerity.

In some ways, this makes it easy to recognize generosity (at least internally). You know when you’re “in it”.

There are some terms that are popular out there that while they can be great things, they can also be not so great if done for the wrong reasons.

I’m covering 5 “imposters” of generosity in this episode. You might first think I’m crazy when you see how positive they can be. But that’s the thing. A lot of people don’t do these with truly selfless intentions.

Generosity is different. It requires selflessness.

You’ll want to build your workplace culture with the right intentions in mind; for effectiveness and also as a great example for your people.

Have a truly generous day. 😜
