Are you tired of the political rancor that seems to engulf every conversation these days?

So is this month's guest, Elizabeth Doll. That's not because she doesn't have political opinions of her own. Doll is a conservative living in a very blue area of Washington state, a political minority in her community. She's also the director of Braver Politics within Braver Angels, an organization working to bridge the political divide in the United States by helping people re-learn how to love and respect one another despite partisan disagreements by having difficult conversations.

It's not easy work, but many have done it and are doing it and so can you. This interview with Elizabeth Doll will inspire you to join those who are working to build a future where political differences divide us at the ball0t box, not everywhere else.

What does it mean to be a good citizen?

Obeying the law, respecting civic institutions and exercising your democratic right to vote are elements of good citizenship that come to mind. But good citizenship is more than that. It's about positive engagement in your community. It's about thinking global and acting local.

Greg Nance is a shining example of a good citizen. He is an entrepreneur, non-profit leader, political candidate, distance runner, substance abuse survivor and mentor to many. He is also the guest on this month's episode of Stop Digging.

Join this energetic, inspiring conversation and learn about how you too can improve your life and the lives of those around you by embracing the principles of good citizenship.

Is your organization healthy?

Organizational health is about more than just profitability. Turnaround, openness, clarity of corporate values and many other factors are just as important, and contribute to an organization's ability to bring in revenue. Perhaps most important of all is culture. A healthy corporate culture is only possible when members are able to identify and address those problems that everyone knows are plaguing the organization but are too afraid or too complacent to do so. In other words, they must be able to tag the elephant in the room.

Stacie Morgan is an organizational truth-teller and author of the upcoming book The Elephant Hunter: Speaking Truth in Organizations. She's also this month's podcast guest.

Listen to this episode to find out how you too can begin tagging the elephants in the room!
