You will learn about:

• The detrimental effects of lying to ourselves.

Show Notes:

Today we’re tackling the theme of truth, a touchy subject in the public and personal sphere, but a necessary one to deal with if you’re trying to live your life authentically.

Through trial-and-error, we’ve discovered that the truth doesn’t have to hurt (contrary to popular belief). Instead, striving towards a clean conscience by having those tough conversations can really set you free.

Show Notes:

What obstacles are you facing in your life right now?

So next time you’re faced with a problem in your personal or professional life, just remember the Stoic principle ’the obstacle is the way’ in order to push through.

• How to harness the power of a ‘fresh start’ 

Show Notes:

2021 has arrived. So, what’s changed for you?

Many of us are still digesting what came to the surface last year and contemplating how to press forward. Today, we’re dissecting the theme of goals and how best to approach this ‘fresh start’ in a conscious way, especially when it comes to business. 

No crystal ball can predict what will unfold this coming year, but by confronting the things we’re most scared of, having those tough conversations, and unblocking self-sabotaging behaviors, we can all make this year count.

• The sports philosophy behind Gameday’s business approach 

Show Notes:

Hands up if you avoid all HR people.

HR sucks. Even Katrina Ghazarian, CEO of Gameday HR, will agree with you on that one. 

However, what would happen if businesses transformed their HR models and put the human back into Human Resources?

Enter Gameday HR, the forward-thinking HR consultancy firm helping businesses empower their teams with data-led, connection-focused leadership. Forget the ping-pong tables, bean bags, and blow-out retreats — real employee engagement comes from meaningful interactions that scratch beyond the surface of a template questionnaire.

HR doesn’t have to be a dirty word if you’re willing to calibrate how to integrate it with—not against—your workforce.

After this, you’ll have your HR department on speed dial.

• Why slowing down in business helps you connect with what you need to see

Show Notes:

It may sound counter-intuitive, but if you really want to get somewhere fast, you have to take your foot off the gas and to reconnect with your business intentions and long-term goals every now and then. We break down what it means to slow down and surrender the need for speed for a slower but ultimately more productive and profitable way to take your business objectives to the next level. 

In our experience, the results speak for themselves. What are you waiting for? Time’s (not) running out...

You will learn about:

• The conversations we know we need to have (but continue to avoid)

Show Notes:

We come across so many leaders who are aware that they have problems or breakdowns within their organization, and they think it’ll just go away or fix itself if they ignore it. We tell ourselves it’s not a big issue, we try to convince ourselves that it’s not really a problem worth our time, but we’re just making excuses because having the difficult conversation makes us uncomfortable.

But what actually happens when you ignore a known problem? It becomes bigger and more pervasive, until it’s so big that it simply can't be ignored anymore — and, at that point, it’s a much more difficult problem to solve.

• What is a 360?

Show Notes:

One of our listeners recently asked us how to set up and execute a 360° evaluation, and we’ve mentioned the 360 tool in the past but we’ve never gotten into how they can be used most effectively.

If you’re not familiar, a 360° evaluation is a mechanism for giving feedback within an organization. But, in contrast to a typical performance evaluation, the feedback is solicited from all levels and perspectives within the organization, not just from an employee’s supervisors. This can be a transformative and powerful tool for empowering your people, but be warned — if a 360 is not done correctly, it can do more bad than good to your organization and culture.

You will learn about:

• How we rationalize taking work home with us

Show Notes:

We’ve talked a lot about frustration in the workplace, but we haven’t addressed what happens when we bring that frustration home — or how we can avoid doing that in the first place. And let’s get one thing clear: you WILL get frustrated if you are a founder or an executive. It’s a matter of when, not if. 

But why did you start a business in the first place? Most of the people we work with say they want the freedom to spend more time with the people who are most important to them, or they want to create a legacy that those people will remember fondly, so we can’t let our business life erode at our family life — that completely defeats the purpose of submitting yourself to the road less traveled in the first place.

Back in episode 18, we talked about how you can structure meetings to get the most out of them. We’re revisiting the topic of meetings today, but this time, we’re going to talk about the best way to show up in meetings; how you need to be in order to have effective meetings.
