  • Waiting Is Not a Waste: Four Resources for Rescuing Your Restlessness | Tuesday's Take

    Waiting isn't always our preference, but waiting does not have to be a waste.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  helps us see that waiting is far from a passive anxiety-provoking experience. Instead, it's an opportunity to gauge the situation and genuinely determine your readiness for action as you consider four key elements: purpose, mindset, resources, and timing.   

    In this episode, you'll gain access to:

    • a roadmap to support your thinking and actions while you wait
    • specific questions to help assess if you are ready to come out of waiting 
    • examples of how waiting can be a tool/resource that supports synergy between  your patient pause  and the journey you are hoping to bravely take

  • Giving Leaders Grace for Mistakes | Tuesday's Take

    When we ask a leader to be bold,  courageous, and innovative; to take us where we have not gone before,  it means we are liberating that person to experience our grace for their mistakes...because there will be a number of them along the way.

     In this episode, Dr. Stephen gives us three worthwhile ways to demonstrate that grace that helps us avoid giving in to our inner threshold for the patience that leads us to discount that leader and become unduly critical when what they need most is the room to do what you entrusted them to do.

  • Legacy Is a Verb: Why "Legacy" Is Something You Launch Into, Not Just Leave Behind

    Historically, the word legacy was defined by its authentic definition of “an individual or group of people in action” so while leaving behind a physical inheritance is a good thing and a particularly meaningful act “legacy” as defined in those terms alone is left a bit hollow and limiting. Legacy building is something far greater. 

    Legacy is grounded in transformational experiences that set others up to not only pick up where you left off but apply, enhance and even expand those traits and actions in new ways. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. offers a renewed,  in-depth definition of “legacy” that will equip you to reset your lens on the issue and take action on the “legacy indicators”  he describes, in any environment,  be it from the dinner table or the conference table.

  • It’s Really Not About Your “Brand”, It’s About Your Decisions | Tuesday's Take

    The act of rebranding is both a move to expand your vision and rethink how you do business. But hold on... this idea is not just limited to titan companies and local community businesses. It applies to us as individuals and families too. While big corporations and mom-and-pop shops have customers, so do you and your primary customer is you.

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. walks us through why your look, your name, or your profile is not the baseline of your brand but the culmination of our decisions, one at a time.

  • Making Room for Interruptions | Tuesday’s Take

    No one likes to be interrupted, especially when we've developed momentum and believe what we have given our time to is of significant value. However, not all interruptions are created equal. In this episode, Dr. Stephen V.  explains that when it comes to things in our lives being interrupted, there are distractions and disruptions – one of them can save you, and the other can sabotage or even downright kill you.  Since the types of interruptions we face will vary, we'll need to know how to respond to each of them wisely.

  • Should I Conform or Confront?: When to Break the Rules

    Conformity is typically a way to create or establish a collective point of view or maintain particular behaviors and value systems. And often the expectation that people adapt to those norms can begin with good intentions. But what happens when times, conditions, and people change. What happened to the system that depended on people to comply with it? And what happens to the people who were buying into those norms?

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. helps us grapple with the nuances of compliance and provides some guidance on how to strategically assess the role the call to comply it is having our individual worlds.

  • What Are You Forcing Yourself Into?

    There are relationships and opportunities, no matter how appealing they might be that simply require too much maneuvering to them fit who you are and what you need. Rather than supporting you, they distort you. 

    In this episode, Dr. Stephen V. challenges us to stop forcing what doesn’t fit –– not because you don’t have the talent, skill, will, or worth, but because “making it work” encourages you to settle into a seat that short changes your ability to be at your best.
