  • Episode 143. We Don't Like Labels

    Labels are an everyday part of our language - to such an extent that we use them, often, without serious thought.

    As I discuss in today's episode, because the labels we grow up with are often fraught with misperceptions and frankly, prejudice, such that we'd do well to rethink them.

  • Episode 142. It's About All Of Us

    Tough times call for tough measures. But those tough measures can also be fraught with risk - both real and perceived. Biggest of all is the perception that we'll be overreacting.

    But, as I discuss in today's podcast, that shouldn't worry us. The end goal and those we serve, matter far more.

  • Episode 141. Confidence Versus Volume

    Confidence and volume are two separate ideas, but often, when it comes to our communications, we tend to conflate the two.

    There is a material difference and, as I discuss in today's episode, it's important we work to understand that distinction.

  • Episode 140. The Signal To Noise Ratio

    How we spend our time on a day to day basis is materially influenced by the extent to which we're responding to signals or to noise.

    In today's episode, I speak to the need to think about which cues we pick up and what we react to - the signals versus the noise.

  • Episode 139. Is That What You Really Think?
    When we're trying to sell an idea or a product, we want to say all the right things to the prospect, so that we can close the deal quickly.

    In doing so, we can at times, sugar coat the message, or gloss over key issues that need to be grappled with upfront. All the more reason, as I discuss in today's episode, that we always be upfront - even if that means talking about difficult things.

  • Episode 138. "This Will Only Take A Minute"
    Expectations management is everything in business. We understand and buy that when it comes to big picture issues - such as a client delverable.

    But, as I discuss in today's podcast, it matters just as much in our more common day to day activities.

  • Episode 137. Be The Guide, Not The Victim
    We love being the hero in our stories. But Donald Miller talks about there being only 4 key roles you can take on in your business story.

    And being the hero isn't one of them. You need to be the guide, as I discuss in today's episode.

  • Episode 136. Walk The Walk On Partnerships
    In today's episode, I talk about the idea of partnerships.

    The word "partnership" is easy to throw around when the stakes are low. But when the going gets tough, we really find out who is (and isn't) a true partner.

  • Episode 135. Culture As Operating System
    Trevor Noah once referred to our culture as our operating system, one that we're rarely even aware of.

    That's an apt explanation of the role and value of culture. It's something that can make us - but just as equally, it can break us.

  • Episode 134. Cultures Aren't Created Overnight
    Culture matters. They define whether an organization will be successful or not.

    But, as I discuss this in episode of the podcast, cultures aren't created overnight - they take intention, strategy and work to build. I share several strategies to help build great cultures.
