Toxicity is a culture killer.

It can be hard to recognize and even harder to change.

This happens because people struggle to recognize negative habits in others and themselves.

Cultures are built, not found, whether you know it or not.

A toxic culture will ruin the professional experience of its people and you have to recognize and address it as soon as possible.

The problem is that most people are uncomfortable addressing it because it’s a “people thing”. You have to understand others’ perspective and be willing to have tough conversations.

I have a way of looking at toxicity that is more personal and direct than the average culture advice. Take note of the steps in the process and learn to take them with caution and compassion.

Have a great rest of your week.😀

You gotta belong!

Some say you have to believe. Well, I believe in belonging.

There is no subsitute for this. Humans have helped each other survice and thrive for years. Part of our experience relies on others whether we want and realize this or not.

I have spent a lot of time studying people’s acceptance, struggle, and experiences with their work. It’s clear that people need to feel like they are a part of a strong mission.

But why?

How can this help or hurt your team?

I have 5 things to think about (and master) if you want to build a generous workplace culture that attracts top talent and loyal customers.

Have a communal week. 🫂

You CAN’T be perfect.

Only your effort can be.

There is a problem with how we look at perfectionism these days. We say it’s a terrible thing and most will try to run from it - even ignore it.

That’s a bad approach. I wouldn’t say you can embrace it but you have to use it’s emotion for good.

In this episode, I’m breaking down you and your team’s work so you can identify what can actually be perfect (yes, some things, can) and what can’t be. Know these things and you’ll have a whole different perspective on how to design expectations for a high performing team.

Great people are attracted to great environments. This is how you lay the foundation.

Have a perfect (almost) week. 😀

You CAN’T treat people the same.

I have seen a thousand leadership trainings and even more pieces of advice.

Most of it is way too generalized.

There is no perfect style.

You have to consider how to treat people fairly.

And that is really tough.

The best leaders learn from every interaction they have.

You’re not born with a special skill. It can be trained but it’s mort about what you deliver to others than how effective you are at motivation or management.

This episode will cover why you can treat people the same and how to be a better giver (leader) regardless of your title or position.

Enjoy the rest of your week and keep leading wherever you are. 😀

The unexpected sucks.

But it doesn’t have too. In fact, I think you need it for greatness…

…in life, in relationships, in business, and in workplace culture.

I had a few unexpected things happen to me over the last few weeks and it got me thinking about resilience and the other related things to handling the unexpected.

My business career, like yours, has been riddled with the unexpected. Adaptation has been critical.

How does this apply to the culture of your workplace?

I wanted to talk about it from the perspective of the employer and the employee.

So, I did. 😁

Why do we separate these two things?

There’s a problem in today’s corporate environment.

We think we have to recruit people away from other companies and then “retain” them.

But what if we thought of these things more similarly?

If people are thinking about leaving so easily, than you’ve already lost them. You haven’t delivered on what you said in the recruitment process.

This lack of integrity causes a significant problem as companies and teams grow. You do so much to recruit and then you have to double down to retain.

It should be a more cohesive process, and I have counterintuitive thought as to what will actually make it “more” cohesive.

Enjoy the rest of your week and don’t think about retention so much. 😉

There’s this trait that every leader should have.

You can name a million of them but what is it?

I’ve heard plenty of leadership trainings. The best one’s will focus one specific trait for practice that can level up your work.

But there’s only one that I believe should be applied generally. We live in a world of more. Yet, in this case, you can bet that if you treat people this way, you’ll find success in building relationships.

Wel built relationships lead to strong teams that attract top talent and loyal customers. People want to be part of this type of environment.

I had to invest an episode in this concept because I know it’s power. It saved my life.

Have a generous rest of the week. 😀

Balance is impossible - and undesirable.

I left town thinking I’d get "refreshed” but realized I actually just got deeper into the important stuff.

This is how time off should be. If you’re only relieved when you’re away from the office, you’re missing something.

This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about how I don’t shoot for work/life balance but it’s the deepest dive.

I like to think about work life harmony instead.

It’s simpler. More realistic. And much more desirable.

This episode is all about why.

Have a generous rest of the week. 😀

People are quitting their jobs a lot these days.

Should you try to avoid it or let people go?

It depends….

There are some good reasons why someone might leave their job:

• relocation

• retirement

• family illness

• new opportunity

I wouldn’t consider any of these “quitting”. They are reasons for change.

No one would fault your company for them and so it doesn’t hurt recruitment/retnetion.

What does hurt though is when someone feels bad enough that they quit - decide it’s not worth it.

It’s important to understand the difference between these two things and the real reason why someone would bail on gainful employment.

This will help to understand how to give people what they need to have a joyful work experience and stay.

Have a generous rest of the week. 😀

You can’t do generous culture alone and that’s why you have to close the loop.

The great news is that you two thirds of the way there. It’s important to understand how culture is “felt”. It’s key in this case because the exponential growth factor is accessed in this flywheel of giving.

The third step in the process is what ignites your entire teams passion for a giving culture. It’s where educate them on what’s working and encourage them to jump in and add their own twist.

Once they know, they go. That puts them in their own loop and attracting others.

Have a generous rest of the week. 😀
