The Coach's Corner

Are you tired of dealing with challenging people? We’ve all had our fair share of encounters with difficult individuals, and it’s completely normal to feel frustrated when we can’t seem to connect with them. But what if we could shift our mindset and see these people not as problems to be solved, but as complex individuals to be appreciated? How would that change the way we feel about them?

Join me on my podcast as we explore the difference between a complex person vs. a complicated person, and discover the steps to unknotting the difference and maintaining the relationship. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to transform your interactions with challenging people!

Groupthink can have a significant impact on our behavior at home, in public, and in the office. It can cause people to ignore important information and ultimately lead to poor decisions. This can be damaging even in minor situations but can have much more dire consequences in certain settings. For example, in schools, the workplace or religious settings, groupthink can lead groups to ignore ethics or morals, prioritize one specific goal while ignoring countless collateral consequences, or, at worst, instigate serious harm or even death.

To disrupt groupthink, there are several steps or techniques that can be employed. What are those steps? Well join me on this podcast as we figure out how not to get lulled into groupthink. We’ll explore ways to disrupt groupthink and avoid its negative consequences. Together, we can learn how to make better decisions and avoid being sunk by groupthink.

Many people are learning about increasing their IQ (intelligent quotient) and EQ (emotional quotient) but many are not increasing their CQ (cultural quotient), which is their ability to connect with people who are more culturally distant from us. There is a greater need for people to get along with those who are different from us. The words of the late Stephen Covey, “Seek first to understand then to be understood,” becomes more critical to avoid continual misunderstanding that can lead to interpersonal conflict at home, intergroup conflict at work and even international conflict abroad.

Today, interactions between countries spanning the distance of oceans seem like merely a block away. Although commercially the world has become increasingly smaller with technology, culturally many act as if they are planets away. This means the more multicultural, multiethnic, and multiracial that we become as a society, there is a greater need for people to become knowledgeable about each other’s cultural background to be successful together.

Join this podcast as we talk about taking our CQ to build our strength to understand each other’s culture.

The world can be a cold place for many days. It only becomes colder when we lack kindness to each other. We forget that kindness is that bit of heavenly sweetness which can really make a person’s day (and ours too). Kindness can be a part of the solution in our conflicts with each other, especially on social media. Unfortunately, we’ve forgotten what kindness looks like.

As our culture struggles about the values that matter to one another, one thing is evident. We believe kindness is still important. However, we don’t always put it into practice during conflict. And even beyond the conflict, many of us still don’t put kindness into practice when others who disagree with us most need it. 

In this podcast, we’re going back to basics and talking about kindness. So, we’re able to extend and have a cup of coffee with each other—sweetened with a bit of kindness. You’ll leave this podcast knowing some more ways in which you can offer that cup of kindness, with some sweetness, to friends and strangers alike.

The art of giving feedback is a skill that many learn to do, especially those who are managers. However, the reverse is not true. There is a lack of the art of receiving feedback, which paralyzes people from realizing their best selves. The trauma of receiving horrible feedback creates the fear of running away from future feedback especially if you're an employee.

The reality is feedback is part of life—for better or for worse. The question is: how do we create an inner system of resilience and process of feedback, so we don’t become bitter—but better? How do we not take feedback personally? Join me in this next podcast to hear.

If you have ever played a string instrument like a guitar or violin, you know how challenging it is to get the right sound when you immediately pick it up. And this is not necessarily because you’re a bad guitarist or violinist. However, you recognize the strings on the guitar or violin need to be adjusted—tightened or loosened.

When strings are too lax, the quality of sound is hindered (muffled) or not produced. The opposite is also true. If the strings are tightened too much, they will rupture and pop. A stringed instrument works best when it can "live in the tension".

How about our lives? How do we live in the tension—the right tension to make music? In this Coach’s Corner podcast, we will help unpack this tension and understand it to find that right balance. So our lives will better sing to others around us and ourselves within.

As we get older, we start to really focus on things that really matter to us in life. We start to prioritize our time, energy, and our relationships. We look at the people who we interact with and call friends and ask if they really are your friends. Or maybe the better question is, am I really their friend?

In this podcast, we’re going to get brave and honest about those relationships we may be pretending to say are dear. What makes a friend–a friend? After this podcast, you may make different choices about the kind of friends you want to keep in your life or give distance.

They say Monday is the toughest day of the week. This can be for several reasons of course. However, what makes Monday all the tougher is when you can see the unhappiness on everyone else's face to start the day. It is like the Frown Central train pulled into the station on Monday with its passengers wearing their frowns as their paid ticket for travel.

One wonders if a smile is too expensive to purchase or if we have forgotten the key to unlock the door of unhappiness we find on Monday and brighten each other’s day. We can all be superheroes if we just smiled more.

How can a smile be so powerful? Check out this podcast to find out how and know the power of just a smile that can better brighten your day—at no cost.

Today we find ourselves in a time where friends have become strangers and strangers have become enemies. Conflict abounds. Trust is none. We’ve become poor relationally speaking.

Whether online or in person, the person next to us is no longer seen as our neighbour whom we can trust. What’s the impact on this fact on our work, on our relationships and maybe even more importantly, on our health? Is there any way we can build the most asset or capital in our lives, which is social, which is trust.

Join me on this podcast as we talk about how we build trust in each other – the ones we do life within our community and society. In us, we trust.
