  • EP #257 Why You Do (not) Have Imposter Syndrome

    It's not imposter syndrome unless you've done it before.

    Yeah, I said that right. If you just aren't ready to do something, you're just a beginner.

    That's okay. Everyone starts at some point.

    If you have done it before and you think you can't, then it's imposter syndrome.

    Either way, I have some key thoughts today of how to handle your situation.

    The best don't try to avoid the challenges. They lean in whether it's familiar or not.

  • EP #255 6 Reasons People Quit their Job

    People are quitting jobs like crazy these days.

    I support the people who are in "net-negative" situations - the ones that take away from their life despite giving some basic things like a paycheck.

    I also support those who don't feel aligned with the mission of the company.

    But what about everyone else?

    There are plenty of these and companies and leaders could do a better job of building the right culture for their enjoyment.

    I have 6 things that stick out to me as key reasons why people quit (and they don't have exist).

    You'll want to recognize these things and eliminate them from your culture.

  • EP #255 I Love (and Hate) Remote Work

    Remote work is meh if your environment stinks.

    I support the work from home model if it's done well. Sadly, it's not always done well.

    Many companies are offering this as a perk these days - not sure how I feel about that. I'm cool with that benefit but it doesn't seem to be a priority if it's just an add on.

    Work from home should be foundational part of your culture if it exists. There has to be great intention and communication to do it well.

    This episode is about the things to avoid in the remote work environment and things to enjoy related to it.

    Have a poised rest of the week. πŸ˜€

  • EP #253 Questions to Identify Poised People

    There's nothing more important than this one thing when stuff goes wrong.

    Poise is a skill. It can be trained.

    But can it be found?

    In other words, can you identify people who are poised without actually seeing them display it?

    In short: no.

    But there are certain things you can do to understand more about their demeanor. There are questions you can ask and clues to look for when evaluating and interviewing people.

    You want people who embrace challenges, disprove of perfections, and are willing to sit in tough times.

    The best scenario for a team is people who are calm under pressure. This could change your business.

  • EP #253 Toxic Culture AIN'T Toxic People

    Toxic cultures are habitual.

    There are a lot of internet complaints about toxic bosses. It's good that toxic culture are called out but it's not because of bad peope.

    Most of the "toxic" bosses are good people with toxic habits. These are the things that form over time as a result of repeated small issues.

    It's easy to get caught up in a culture when people just expect things to be that way. It leads to plenty of miscommunication, unhealthy practices, and ultimately, burnout.

    It's important regardless of your role in an organization that you identify toxic habits before they fully form. We'll all have toxic moments in our lives where we make mistakes or the people around us do things we don't like. But it's the habits that count.

    Generous workplace culture is built by creating healthy habits but also an intentional dismissal of the toxic habits. Less is more.

    This episode will breakdown 8 of the most prominent toxic habits to identify an eliminate.

  • EP #252 The Daily Routine You Must Have

    The best cultures are built by prioritizing routines.

    The first thing you think about when you start your workday should not be how you can pair down your to-do list.

    A lot of us show up for work stressed out by the sheer thought of having a lot of things to do. There's nothing wrong with having a lot to do (unless it's a result of laziness) but how you handle this is key.

    People say they want to be high performers and so they pile on a bunch of expectations. Bad idea.

    Generous workplace culture is build by ambitious yet helpful people.

    There's a specific mindset and type of routine you need in order to build healthy and productive culture. This episode covers it in depth.

    Have a routine rest of the week. πŸ˜‰

  • EP #251 The Number 1 Career Trap

    There's a major trap that we can all avoid.

    It's something none of us do naturally.

    In fact, most of us operate with the complete opposite in mind, until we feel like our career becomes survival.

    Some people will tell you that you have to take care of yourself above all else and I disagree. I believe you have to take care of yourself along with others.

    If you only ever take care of yourself. You're losing out on many opportunities and self-care becomes your monarch.

    Care for yourself so you can be your best.

    This episode addresses the number one thing that limits people in their career.

    Have a selfless rest of the week. πŸ˜€

  • EP #250 Generous Emotions for Healthy Work

    Generosity has some great emotions.

    And humans are emotional beings. The way you use yours can dictate the health of your work experience.

    No one wants to be overwhelmed by their emotions and it's also not good to suppress them completely.

    So how you do you handle them well on the job?

    You identify the good ones and lean in. I have some thoughts to share with you about how powerful certain emotions can be for building a healthy work experience, and of course, generous culture.

  • EP #249 Confidence or Arrogance?

    Confidence is great. Arrogance sucks.

    I've never found two things so different yet so miscast as each other so often.

    We can all agree that confidence is an important thing to have in business. It's what makes you believe that things can get and done and that you'll make a positive impact on the world.

    Arrogance is that thing that turns people off even to the most confident. In fact, in can take down a even the strongest pillars of belief.

    I urge you to focus on doing things that build confidence and not arrogance in people. The environment that you create matters.

  • EP #248 Why Do People Leave Their Job?

    Employee turnover sucks.

    But it doesn't have to…in fact, it doesn't even have to be a thing.

    I like to think of it as opportunities for all parties. When someone leaves:

    1. That person gets a chance to be in a different and better position.

    2. A new person gets a chance in the vacant role.

    3. The company gets a new perspective.

    I'm not saying there aren't some bad things but I am saying that it can be good.

    Either way, you don't want a lot of people leaving and new people coming in faster than they can be trainined.

    This is why a generous workplace culture is so valuable. It will retain great people and attract them if needed.

    This episode will address the reasons (the real ones) people leave your company.

    Have a generous rest of your week. πŸ˜€
