The Reboot Podcast

Adaptive leadership is the notion that a fixed leadership style isn't a quick fix or one-stop-shop for all your leadership needs. Adaptive leadership asks you to be keen enough to be with who is in front of you, in any situation, and be able to connect relationally and with what matters. That requires a different skillset than a fixed leadership style. In this Operator's Manual, Ali and Jerry consider why adaptive leadership is so important for your organization's leaders, why it matters on an interpersonal level, and how it's tied to an organization's success.

For our first fresh episode of the 2023 season, Jerry sits down with Lisa Sharon Harper, founder of Freedom Road, and author of the superb book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and The World and How to Repair it All. In this compelling conversation, Lisa tells the story of her ancestor, Fortune, as a way to illuminate the effects of race, racism, and Othering. Jerry describes the work he's done to uncover and understand his own ancestors' history, and shares how returning to his family's past allowed him to find belonging and informed the thinking in his forthcoming book, Reunion. The duo proposes a radical notion, that in order to create a world — and workplaces — of love, safety, and belonging for others, we must first as leaders dismantle the myths of our identity and reckon with the origin stories of our ancestors.

Centering is a practice that brings us into present-moment awareness. Tuning into our breath and the sensations in our body opens up choice, clarity, and an enhanced ability to meet whatever we encounter. In this recording, Chrystal Bell shares a simple practice for feeling into the three planes of the human body - length, width, and depth. May reconnecting to your dignity, belonging, and sufficiency support you in feeling more grounded and centered. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

What fuels your relationship with work? When you're not working, what comes up for you? The compulsion to work can arise from various fears and drivers. Whether we are driven by perfectionism, tie our productivity to our worth, or use work to distract ourselves from other powerful demons such as shame, the spell of hustle culture can be hard to shake. In this podcast, we're sharing Ali's second conversation with Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy, authors of Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay. Together, they explore why detaching from work can be so incredibly hard and ponder why separating our identity from our work is so difficult. They get honest about the stories and fears that fuel their own desires to overwork and illuminate how joyful pursuits can mitigate the compulsion to overwork when life gets stressful.

Whether we decide to leave our job, make a career move, or unexpectedly find ourselves without a job, the space between secure positions elicits a lot of things--unprocessed fresh feelings, needs, anxieties, and wondering about next steps. Often, that "next steps" part can feel like an overwhelming mountain. In this episode, Ali hosts a thoughtful conversation with executive recruiter Keith McAllister at Modern Executive Solutions. In their time together, the pair discuss the importance of clearly articulating who you are, what you do, and what you've done, and share advice for leveraging your personal and professional networks. Keith details what to do (and not do) when you receive a call from a recruiter, and Ali asks, "How important is your LinkedIn profile?" Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Science tells us that the best time to meditate is often when it's not easy. Bringing mindfulness and perhaps even a pocket meditation for recentering to the situations when you are getting off-kilter, ungrounded, and upregulated are the moments that create lasting change. In this short clip, Reboot Coach and Facilitator Chrystal Bell leads a short meditation practice designed to support you in finding your center and returning to stillness amidst turbulent times. May it be a grounding practice for when you encounter the stormy weather of life. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Chronic illness and chronic pain are topics that can bring up a big mix of interconnected feelings -- uncertainty, burnout, anger, and even despair. They also challenge our perfectionism, make comparisons hard to stop, and can bring up thoughts of shame or even regrets. In this podcast, Ali kicks off the first in a series of conversations with Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy authors of the book Big Feelings: How to Be Okay When Things Are Not Okay. The trio shares openly about what chronically ails them, and how they manage it in their personal and professional worlds. They describe the loneliness that comes with battling mysterious illnesses and undiagnosed pain. They introduce us to "spoon theory," and share some advice for how to hold space and offer support to the folks in your work life with chronic illness or chronic pain Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

In this podcast conversation, Jerry talks with Ian Sanders, author of "365 Ways to Have a Good Day", who found himself at the edge of rediscovery at the beginning of COVID lockdown. Fumbling and longing for ground, he dove into his past by paging through his old journals. Unearthing the stories of his life at that moment reminded him of who he was and what made him tick. His collection of entries from his daily sojourns solidified an understanding of who he was and who he might want to be. In a record of noticing and documenting, we note what brings us joy, what our hurts or anger have to tell us, what we're scared of, and the glimmers of moments when we feel whole. Jerry adds that in doing so we often develop a guidebook to our own lives. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

Sally Helgesen is a women's leadership expert who has written many books over the past few decades on women and leadership (How Women Rise, The Female Advantage, The Web of Inclusion). In this episode, Sally and Ali Schultz explore the tendencies and habits that often contribute to women feeling stuck in their leadership roles.

As frequent listeners of the podcast can attest, a well-formed open, honest question can be a catalyst for radical self-inquiry and deep inner work. For Gino Zahnd, the founder of Cozy and Seabright, that question was, "What would I like the people that I work with to know about me that they don't know?." Gino, who lives with a rare genetic order called Fabry Disease, shares how one profound question asked at Reboot Bootcamp gave him the courage to share his health struggles with his team and ultimately led to a life-changing kidney donation from a colleague. Jerry chats with Gino about how things have changed since his Bootcamp experience in 2016, his decision to step down as CEO of Cozy, and his new life in Colorado. Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!
