Dan is the author of Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership - Cracking the Code of Sustainable Team Performance. Dan’s book reveals a new approach to leadership development, which some have called revolutionary.

SUMMARY
Succession planning involves having the right people at the right time to fill critical positions in your organization, but yet many organizations don’t have a succession management process in place.

From my experience, I have witnessed organizational cultures degenerate to toxic levels because when the CEO left, they took their workplace culture with them. They didn’t think about or plan for a successor, which left the organization exposed to incompetent leadership.  

Succession planning doesn’t have to be a complex and multi-layered process. Even the simplest design can have a positive return for a company. This week’s Tackle Tuesday episode focuses on just that!

Beth Armknecht Miller, CEO of Executive Velocity, and I discussed how to build leadership pipelines that are integrated into a succession management process that will ensure your company can fill critical positions at the right time to ensure strategic outcomes are achieved.

SUMMARY
For this week’s episode I had the opportunity to interview Christina Eanes, a former FBI violent crime analyst and senior manager. Christina is on a mission to help others achieve more in life – mainly by getting out of their own way. 

In the past, I have openly shared my struggles as a new entrepreneur and how important it has been to develop my resiliency. That is why I was so excited to have Christina on my podcast. Christina has a unique take on how to develop resiliency in self and others – through escape rooms. Christina quickly discovered that the skills necessary to work through an escape room translated well into being successful in life and becoming better human beings. 

We talked about what an escapelete is and how someone can use escape rooms to develop a grit and growth mindset. 

If you are seeking support in shifting how you perceive and experience life’s challenges, you have to listen to this week’s Tackle Tuesday. I have no doubt you will want to sign up for an escape room experience and put your new learnings to the test!

SUMMARY
One of the most positive experiences I had in 2020 was launching my podcast. It gave me an opportunity to meet with amazing thought leaders, executives, authors, and coaches who have dedicated their life to unlocking the human potential. That is why I was excited to interview Julian Roberts for this week’s Tackle Tuesday episode. Julian is an ICF trained Executive and Leadership Coach who loves working with people and watching them achieve what they can’t yet see, but deep down really want. 

Although many people say they want to be happy and live a meaningful life, evidence shows us this is not the reality for many of us. That is why my campaign, Leading with Heart – Ignite Your Inner Purpose, is focused on helping others develop a clear vision of their authentic self through the discovery of their purpose. So, when I interviewed Julian, I knew our conversation would not only ring true to me, but to many others as well.

Julian and I discuss how to develop a clear understanding of your purpose and the steps you need to take to discover your path for continuous growth. Julian also discusses how to develop the intrinsic motivation necessary to sustain yourself during the most challenging moments in your life.

SUMMARY
In this week’s episode, I interviewed Dr. Robert Barrett and Dr. Louis Francescutti, who are the authors of Hardwired: How Our Instincts to be Healthy are Making Us Sick.

The book focuses on how as a human species we have evolved to survive, but in our modern world our survival instincts have created a health paradox. The things that are meant to keep us alive are in fact killing us. For the first time in thousand years, Americans are experiencing a reversal in lifespan.

SUMMARY

How can we combine psychology and play in our lives and workplace? 

How do we find fulfillment in our lives, personal and professional? 

Is it possible to love what we do? 

How many of us can say that we do? How many of us see our job as a means to an end…collecting a paycheque? 

If you are seeking a dose of inspiration, motivation, wisdom, and fun, listen to my conversation with Jeff Harry from Rediscover Your Play.

It couldn’t come at a better time.

SUMMARY
For this week’s episode I had the opportunity to interview Sheri Benson, who is the principal owner of Thrive Safety Consulting. From the beginning of her career, she believed strongly that a thriving health and safety system requires strong leadership, a clear culture, and the trust in management that comes from consistent support and development of employees.

We had our conversation in October, but many of the concepts we discuss are especially relevant to what we are experiencing today as we are now in the second phase of closures and restrictions. Our conversation went beyond what safety is, we discussed…

• What do you do when your values no longer align with your organization’s?
• What it was like to launch her own business?

But my favourite part of our conversation was when we discussed how to change a company culture that is focused on compliance, towards creating a culture of commitment.

SUMMARY
What is transformational leadership versus transactional leadership?

How do you measure employee productivity?

How does leadership influence productivity?

These are the questions I explore and answer in today’s Tackle Tuesday episode. 

I have received so many questions on this topic that I thought it would be best to answer them in one of my episodes. This conversation is the first part of a two-part series. 

In the first part we explore the balancing act managers play when trying to meet the needs of their organization with the needs of their employees and how we should be measuring employee productivity.
