Speaking of Impact

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. 😜

I was feeling hormonal. And I still am!

Generous workplace cultures really make you feel like you’re a part of something great. It’s a nice mix between responsibility and support.

Each company and group of people are different but one thing I can guarantee you’ll find in every room is hormones. There is no getting around it - and you don’t really want to.

Great leaders are highly aware of how people’s hormones are moving whether they know it or not. It’s a good idea to have a general understanding of how they work.

You’ll want to notice these 4 (and the bonus 5th 😉) so you’ll be a bit more adept to recognizing the experiences that your people are having. The idea is to create the best possible scenarios for your people to enjoy a fulfilling career and work journey.

When there is joy in the journey, there is fulfillment in the finish.

Let’s talk about some joyful hormones.

Have a hormonal and generous day. 😜

Stop trying to be happy. Seek joy instead.

You can’t always be happy. In fact, I don’t think you’d want to be. The valleys make the mountains, ya know?

I like to focus on being a in a joyful state of mind. This doesn’t mean everything will be perfect, it just means that you feel good about your place in this world. You are grateful for what you have and for the opportunity to share with others. You also know you’re able to grow.

Employment can be a funny thing. Most of us need it but many say they don’t want it (or at least in the form they have).

This episode is about 5 thinks to make your work enjoyable. There are plenty more than 5 ways but it’s a great start.

I’d love to hear/see some of the ways you already implement. Hit me up on the socials.

Have a generous day. 😁

Actions speak louder than words, but words also work.

I often say that taking action is the most important thing to progress. You learn along the way even if you don’t find success quickly.

It’s also important to have encouraging words in our life and business. There will be times when you need a reminder of why you do what you do and why it’s important to build a generous workplace culture.

I was made aware of a great quote on generosity recently and it sparked me to look into what other people have said about the subject over the years. I found some great insight and thought I’d a share a couple other quotes I found to be incredible inspiring.

Let these quotes keep you focused when building your work place culture. Or, let me know which one(s) already do.

Have a generous day. 😁

Avoid these mistakes at all costs.

I’m a big fan of “progress”. It’s more realistic than “perfection”. The biggest mistakes you can make when building a generous workplace culture will come during those times you’re trying to be perfect.

I have 4 critical things you must avoid so as to avoid pushing or stressing yourself and your team too much.

Make no mistake that generosity is hard. You will make mistakes. Just don’t make these (more than once, max). That will put you on the path to the workplace culture you desire. It will attract talented people and loyal customers.

Let me know if you believe there are other mistakes that must be avoided.

Have a generous day. 😁

This episode is about my 3-step process for building a radically generous workplace culture.

There are a lot of variables in an individual organization and it’s critical to consider what makes your company unique. Yet, there are foundational practices that you must have when building the culture you desire.

People need to see you “giving” and understand why it mattes and how to participate.

My “ACE” process outlines three simple concepts that you can implement quickly to start building your generous culture today.

And speaking of that culture…

Have a generous day. 😁

Do this before you give your employees a raise:

Give them something that will make them feel fulfillment and get better in the process.

A lot of business leaders and their companies try to attract top talent and retain who they have with financial incentives and bonuses. These things are fleeting - especially a results-based bonus.

It’s better for people to experience a sense of ownership and joy in the process.

There are a lot of intangible things you can give people. I came up with a short list of things that should exist even before a raise is earned.

This is a great start but there are plenty of other things. What else would you add?

Have a generous day.

Slow down or else you’ll never make it.

I love to sprint…physically and mentally. It’s healthy but it’s not sustainable.

And you want a sustainble business, right?

There are no shortcuts or tricks to building a scaling business and a generous workplace culture. You have to be disciplined over a long period of time.

This episode will make you think about what it takes to prepare for great things and execute great things. There are lessoned to be learned from working hard just to prepare for something and ultimately working hard when it’s time to execute said thing.

⚠ Spoiler alert: business isn’t a sprint, but maybe it includes a few?

Have a generous day.
