  • EP #247 Work is (Kinda) Like Family

    There's nothing like family - good or bad.

    Families can have the best of time and the worst of times because they are groups of people who are highly invested in each other. We are a lot about our family.

    You also care a lot about your work - hopefully, not more than your family but still. It's a big part of life.

    So, how is this to be handled?

    A lot of sources these days will say it's toxic to refer to work people as "family". I tend to agree. However, it's good to treat people like family.

    Bad bosses will expect you to bend over backwards for the company because that is what family does. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your wellbeing for the "family".

    But what if leaders thought more about their work family like most people think of their real family?

    Think about supporting people as healthy people first and they'll be sure to give a healthy amount of effort to your company.

    It will attract and retain top talent. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

  • EP #246 It Ain't About the Money

    The money is nice but it won't give them want they want.

    I've worked closely with money for 15 years. It's hard to believe I studies broadcasting two decades ago. I hope it makes me a better podcaster but what about financial planner? Here me outโ€ฆ

    I can count on one hand the amount of people (out of thousands I worked with) who's final goal was a number in their bank account. 99.9% people had another desire in their life.

    This tells me how important it is to help people find fulfillment in their work - more important that financial riches.

    The money is table stakes. Pay people what they are worth - but after that, there's a lot of work to do to build a generous culture of which people want to be a part.

  • EP #245 Positive Turnover

    Turnover can be good.

    It can also be bad. You have to be careful how to initiate, prevent, and handle it.

    I find that the best companies do all of these well. There are a lot of things you can do to affect change in your organization so it's best to focus on individual situations.

    This episode is about when and where to push and pull.

    Ask yourself the question, "Who does this turnover benefit and who does it hurt?", before making any decisions.

    Turnovers in sports are bad for one team and good for the other. It can be the same way for different people on your team.

  • EP #244 How to Be a Generous Negotiator

    Negotiations can be generous - for real.

    I'm not saying it's easy but they can be. The more there are the better.

    There are a lot of things in life and business that you'll have to negotiate.

    You know that pit in your stomach you feel when you have to negotiate, even argue, about something?

    It's a lousy feeling but it can be avoided with the right concentration.

    I think about 7 things every time I go into a negotiation. They are all "P" words.

    This episode covers each of these things and will teach you how to focus on them to be a better negotiator.

    This is not tips, tricks, and hacks of how to win your negotiations. It's to help you generate better outcomes for you and those you negotiate with in your work.

  • EP #243 3 Things You Should Know About "No"

    Yes, this episode is about "no".

    This is one of the first words we all learn. It serves so many different purposes when all you can do is indicate what you want and don't want.

    Things change as you mature, though. "No" begins to have more specific applications. It can indicate, interest, capability, desire, understanding, and many more things. It means a lot in work place culture.

    If you're trying to build a generous workplace culture, you have to understand how the word "no" can do so many things for your role and those around you. Using it well can keep things respectful, relatable, real, and organized. Use it wrong and things can get negative pretty quick.

    I try to make "no" a consistent part of work these days. I think you'll understand why after listening to the episode.

  • EP #242 The Easiest Way to Improve Workplace Culture

    Everyone can affect culture.

    I'm not saying that every can make culture or build it on their own. But everyone can make a difference.

    In fact, I encourage everyone to try to. The strongest cultures are led by all. Leadership or certain individuals can set a tone but the more than contribute the better.

    Sometimes, the best experiences come when someone who is not a leader in title displays some excellent cultural leadership in their given role. I learned this pretty early in my business career and have always felt it it's important to encourage those who may not feel capable of contributing.

    This episode is an encouragement to you, no matter your role, job, or career path.

    You can do great things for your teammates.

  • EP #241 When, Not How, You Treat People

    When you treat people well matters the most.

    I'm consistently surprised how companies only celebrate people when they're at their best. What kind of message does that send?

    "We only like you when you to something extraordinary."

    I don't think that's the idea you want you're people to get. You want them to feel more valuable. They should feel good about their work even if it's a rough day. They should feel safe taking a day off if something is not right at home.

    Some companies have an "unlimited time off" policy. That's great but do people feel ok actaully taking it?

    Focus on appreciating people in all scenarios. I have some help for you to do this.

    Have a great rest of your week. ๐Ÿ˜€

  • EP #238: Mission, Vision, Values, Generosity

    Your mission, vision, and values should be generous.

    These three things are critical tools for a business. I can't minimize whatsoever but I would like to stress the importance that generosity has on them. If you want to build great culture you should start as early as possible.

    Generosity is a key point to include in these items that lead a company. You're "why", "what", and "how" will go a long what if they have undertones of giving.

    This episode highlights some reasons why the big three are important but it stresses the importance of the big one.

    Listen in for insights on how to incorporate generosity in the drivers of your company.
