Lifters

Today's featured guest is Paresh Shah.

The topic is "Lifters."

Let the show begin.

Guest Bio

From TEDx Hong Kong to his home in southern California, Paresh Shah loves to help others see the light of Lifter Leadership.

Lifters can be anyone from the receptionist that brightens everyone’s day, to the call center rep who knows exactly how to listen and make an angry customer a raving fan, to senior executives and CEOs who understand that by aligning purpose with profit and consciousness, they can create 10 times the performance relative to peers, according to the Harvard Business Review.

Lifter Leadership is what organizations have been waiting for to motivate today’s unengaged worker, innovate to solve some of our biggest problems, avoid being disrupted and serve a demanding set of customers and workers with high standards for integrity, authenticity and value for all humans on the planet. Paresh is the Lifter behind this movement.

Addition and Subtraction - A Formula for Happiness

By Leigh Martinuzzi

kjj

In an interview, I recently hosted with Jodi Aman, a Psychotherapist, Auther and proponent of Happiness - she described a simple formula or definition of Happiness.

It goes, Wants - Don't Wants + Practice = Happier.

I am sure there is more to this from her research and perspective but I thought in this episode I would share and explore my thoughts on happiness and how this formula may just provide some assistance.

I hope you enjoy.

Enhance Your Relationships with Dr Sam Alibrando

In this conversation, I speak with Dr Alibrando about his book “The 3 Dimensions of Emotions: Finding the Balance of Power, Heart, and Mindfulness in All Your Relationships.”

These are the 3 dimensions of the interpersonal world. How well we learn to navigate them directly corresponds to how well we live our lives - how happy and fulfilled we feel.

Human reactivity is the source of most of our interpersonal problems and pain. The 3 Dimensions of Emotions introduces the concept of working the triangle, a unique practice that provides a compelling yet practical roadmap that can help you move from painful reactivity to productive proactivity in your relationships in life.

I hope you enjoy this replay. I would love to hear your thought so please comment below or reach out via email or social media.

Peace, passion and purpose.

Humans Are Underrated by Geoff Colvin

Written by Leigh Martinuzzi

In this book, Geoff Colvin has delivered a brilliantly assembled counter-argument to the notion that technology is taking over the human race.

With the advancement of machines, AI and robots killing us in the task and skill race of the functioning world, what chance do we have?

Well, as Colvin explains, it may merely be a matter of reconnecting with our roots – the fundamentals of our human nature.

Those questions and more explored in this episode.

Go Long

By Dennis Cary, Michael Useem, Brian Dumain and Rodney Zemmel

Written by Leigh Martinuzzi

Have you ever wondered why some companies live forever and others fail? In this book, the authors explain why there are less publicly listed companies than ever before and why the lifespan of existing companies are getting shorter every day. Their findings clearly suggest that organisations run by short-term thinkers who are pressured to achieve short-term results are the ultimate cause and an increasing concern.
