The Wake Up Eager Podcast

The study of Axiology has greatly impacted my life and my career. One of the people I look up to most in this science is Ron Price. He's the president of TTI Success Insights and he has a way of breaking down Axiology to make it relevant to anyone. I'm so excited to have him join us for our celebratory 100th episode of The Wake Up Eager Podcast.

Ron and I met back in 2005 when he was putting on a mastermind sharing the deeply transformative science of Axiology. In case you're new here, Axiology is the philosophical study of how we attach meaning or value to something.

It gives us a framework to think about how we as humans view and appreciate the physical world around us.

Ron learned about this principle from one of the original students of Axiology, David Medford. David and his wife Vera learned directly from Robert S. Hartman himself and created the Hartman Institute.

In this first part of our interview, Ron and I chat about what Axiology is, how he breaks it down for people who are new to the science and why it's been so impactful in his life. Ron's eloquent way of speaking about his experiences and life made this interview simply fly by. You won't want to miss a minute of it.

[04:50] Welcome Ron Price to Wake Up Eager.

[06:04] How does Ron explain Axiology to those who have never heard of it?

[07:31] Why Ron views Axiology as an organizing principle in his life.

[10:01] Does he have a specific way of explaining Axiology to get people more engaged?

[17:08] Ron explains the influence the study of Axiology has had on his life.

[21:57] What does Ron hope that people take away from his book?

[25:47] Learn what power and timing have to do with one another.

[28:29] What does he mean by "lead with logic, follow with emotion"?

[33:02] Why you should aim for people to feel energized and heard after interacting with you.

[37:25] Ron shares more about his personal life.

[38:50] How did Ron feel about his very first TriMetrix Assessment?

[42:55] Hear about Ron's experiences with Dave Medford, a teacher and student of Axiology.

[47:20] Part 1 is over, are you ready to finish it up with part 2?

The power and necessity of creating strong connections with your peers, leadership, and coworkers cannot be overstated. Especially when new leaders are coming into an organization and need to better understand their teams as quickly as possible.

One way to create connections and quickly build positive relationships is by using Talent Insights Side-by-Side Reports. Essentially we take any of the previously administered assessments done by two people and put them together, side by side, to quickly highlight areas of similarities and differences.

Then we have those two people sit down and have a conversation about their reports. Before they ever get together, they'll have picked out 3-5 top items out of each section to share and then explain why they picked those things and why they're of great importance.

It gives each person a vehicle for sharing what motivates them and how they like to communicate because they get to choose the things that matter most.

This process eliminates months of "getting to know each other" because you get to dig into the core values and communication styles for each person up front. Listen as I share the process by which we facilitate these conversations and ways to use those conversations to create a more united team as quickly and efficiently as possible.

[02:15] Get ready to learn how to create connections through Talent Insights Side-by-Side Reports.

[02:56] Why connection matters today, more than ever before.

[06:47] Research shows that almost everyone feels lonely.

[09:29] Listen to a quick clip from Ryan Jenkins' episode, Connectable.

[13:27] Learn more about the Talent Insights Side-by-Side Report.

[15:19] Hear a testimonial, from a particularly reticent participant, on how it has changed his leadership style.

[18:47] What the report covers.

[25:25] Ways to get the participants to open up and break the ice.

[26:46] Start the process by looking at the Workplace Motivators.

[32:16] For each section have the participants pick their top three items and share what they are and why they picked them.

[35:02] How to choose 1 or 2 areas of opportunity to develop.

[37:47] Next time we talk about Side-by-Side Reports it'll be on how to use them in the face of conflict.

Is it possible to age backwards? There has been a huge focus throughout the entire history of human civilization on extending life and living better. But is it possible? In many ways it is and here to share more about this is Augie Leone. He's sharing his healthy aging secrets and how at 93 his body is younger than ever.

Augie became very interested in health and wellness after he retired in 1987. He'd enjoyed running in his younger years, but after he retired it became a passion and, in his words, an obsession. What he found though, was that the better he ate, the more he could run.

Enter - the Nutritarian diet. This is a way of eating that focuses on the most highly nutrient dense foods to help support and regulate the body. At first, it wasn't easy getting his wife on board with the regimen.

There are only so many foods you can eat within this lifestyle.

But Augie learned how to prepare the foods and took over the menu and shopping and now neither he nor his dear wife would ever switch back. They both feel better than they ever have and are avid cruisers.

Listen as Augie shares more about the Nutritarian lifestyle, his success in running, why he believes it's so important to have dreams, and what he's looking forward to in the coming years.

[03:40] Learn about Augie Leone and why Suzie is so excited to have him on the show.

[07:02] Augie shares about the Nutritarian Diet and how it has impacted his life.

[10:00] How did he get into running?

[13:53] When did he find the Nutritarian Diet?

[17:41] What has been his biggest challenge in keeping up with his lifestyle?

[21:01] Hear more about his running journey.

[23:29] Who has been most influential in his life?

[27:14] What would his billboard say?

[28:25] Augie's last thoughts on what we should take away from this conversation.

[31:30] Suzie shares her takeaways and favorite moments from the conversation.

Welcome back to part two of this brilliant conversation with Mike Wilson and Mica Lunt of T2L Professional Development. We've been chatting about confronting the challenges of local government and in this second half we'll dig deeper into Mica and Mike's top Motivators and what keeps them waking up eager every day.

Something that is extremely interesting about Mike and Mica's Motivators is that they both have an element of innovation that is higher in their priorities. Typically the people who are drawn to governmental positions are high Traditional Regulatory. They do not like change.

But both Mike and Mica question how things are done now and like to find ways to make them better.

I absolutely loved the advice they'd both give to their younger selves. For Mica, he'd tell himself to save his time and money and realize that he doesn't need a Ph.D. to be the change maker he wants to be. Mike would tell himself not to overthink things so much. Take action and make changes as you go.

The quotes they chose for their billboards are so good that I have them below in the show notes. What's interesting about their quotes is that they feed perfectly into the advice that they'd give themselves and their advice for those in local government today.

These two men are truly making a difference in the world and I've loved talking with them about their purpose and passion. The actions of our local governments make a true impact in our day to day lives and Mike and Mica are helping to bring a greater sense of awareness and fit to the people who lead.

[03:25] Listen as Mica shares more about his Motivators and communication style and how knowing them has helped him in his career.

[06:47] Mike dives into his Motivators as well.

[11:21] Suzie talks about the Team Talent Tracker and how it can be a great team development and communication tool.

[14:05] Mica recalls a client that they used the Team Talent Tracker with and how it helped.

[16:05] Mike and Mica share who their greatest influences have been in their career.

[20:00] How do they maintain their wake up eager life?

[23:53] What advice would they give their younger selves?

[26:31] Where would they put a billboard if they had one and what would it say?

[31:48] Their advice for local government leaders everywhere.

[34:43] Listen as Suzie shares her favorite parts of the episode and her take aways.

"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato

"Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could go right." - Tony Robbins

"It's not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. But who does actually strive to do the deeds? Who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who had the best knows, in the end the triumph of high achievement? And who had the worst. If he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - Teddy Roosevelt

"It's hard to fail, but it's worse to never have tried to succeed." - Teddy Roosevelt

When you think of the government, what's the first thing that comes to mind? If you said, the president, you're probably in the majority. However, it is our local government that has the most say over our day to day lives. Mica Lunt and Mike Wilson help local governments find and hire the right talent to help make our cities run smoothly and effectively, but it's not without challenges.

Mike and Mica both started their careers in law enforcement and became servant leaders to their communities. As they grew through their leadership roles, they knew that the skills they learned in law enforcement were needed throughout their local governments.

Why?

Because now, more than ever, there is an extreme distrust for our political leaders. While this is mostly at the top of the food chain, that distrust trickles down into an apathy for our local governments. Along with that apathy, there are fewer and fewer people who desire to take on local government roles.

So how do they confront the challenge of finding the right candidates to help our elected officials lead our towns and cities? Through implementing "right-fit" assessment by using TriMetrix Assessments and digging into the role needed specific to each city or town.

Listen in as Mike and Mica discuss the challenges our local governments are facing, how those challenges impact our day to day lives, and what they're doing to face those challenges head on. Then tune in next week to hear more about their individual roles and how they've come to be so passionate about their work.

[05:54] Welcome back to the podcast Mike and Mica.

[06:05] What are some of the challenges cities are facing in the hiring process?

[07:45] Are city council members paid or volunteers?

[09:16] Mica shares his thoughts on the challenges faced by local governments.

[11:20] How do the challenges faced by local governments impact us as citizens?

[14:28] Mike shares his thoughts about the impact of the local government on its citizens.

[16:24] How has their shared work history in public service and safety impacted their work with local governments?

[23:00] Mica provides a more in depth look at how T2 Consulting works with local governments.

[26:02] Mike discusses how their deep network of affiliates and their goal to become trusted advisors sets them apart from other consulting firms.

[29:13] Learn ways that they use TriMetrix in their consulting practice.

[33:35] Mica shares his favorite part about using the TriMetrix benchmarking during hiring.

We have all experienced the disappointment of hiring the wrong applicant for a position. The interview went so well; their resume was spot on for the skills and experience you were looking for, and they answered all of our questions the right way. But, after a few weeks or months into their job duties, you start to notice that they weren't quite the right fit after all.

The problem may have been that you were overlooking some key interview tactics that allow you to get a feel for an applicant's intangible skills and understand who they are on a level that goes beyond what a resume or a cookie-cutter interview can really tell you.

My guest, Huff Logue, and I discuss the shifts that need to occur in the recruiting and interviewing process to allow you and your team to truly qualify your applicants appropriately so that you're getting the best fit possible for your vacancies.

Along with the wealth of knowledge that the TriMetrix assessment can provide you, I wanted to share nine interview basics that can help you spruce up your interviewing process and get a good feel for some of the intangible skills that you need for your positions:

• Start and end on time.
• Clarify & explain the overall interview process.
• Don't allow outside interruptions.
• Encourage the candidate to talk.
• The candidate should talk 75-80% of the interview time!
• Maintain eye contact.
• Use the candidate's name.
• Allow silence.
• Be pleasant but response-neutral.
• Listen aggressively.
• The act of listening aggressively is to hear with determination and energetic pursuit, demonstrating a desire to understand.

Tune in today to hear more about the TriMetrix Assessment, how to properly qualify your applicants, and how to tailor your open positions to the shift in the job market post-pandemic. This episode is filled with valuable tips, and I know you're going to love it!

[00:38] Welcome back to the Wake Up Eager Workforce Podcast!

[03:36] Suzie shares the background and expertise of her guest, Huff Logue.

[04:52] The biggest mistake that hiring managers make is not taking the time to appropriately qualify their applicants.

[07:04] What is the best way to hire for intangible skills?

[09:48] Huff speaks to the impact of using TriMetrix and how it improves the recruiting process.

[19:49] Huff and Suzie discuss how beneficial TriMetrix is to the hiring process.

[22:57] Suzie and Huff share some tips for preparing your interview team to adequately qualify your applicants.

[25:33] The shift in workplace culture and how to tailor your job posts for the needs of vacant positions.

[32:41] Suzie and Huff discuss some basic interview tactics.

[40:22] The benefits of allowing silence and listening aggressively during interviews.

I am back with Part 2 of my discussion on Workplace Motivation. Now that you know why the Motivators are so important when you're trying to engage and inspire your employees, I want to continue to share what the Motivators are and how they present.

The second Motivator is Utilitarian. If you have someone who is a High Utilitarian, they are going to be extremely focused on return on investment. No matter what they're doing, they want to see some sort of positive return on their investment of time and money.

Next is Aesthetic. The High Aesthetic is concerned with form, balance, and order. They want things to have their space and be beautiful as well. They're extremely averse to chaos.

The fourth Motivator is Social Altruistic. These people are your Mother Theresas. They want to serve others and are intent on creating space for those around them. They want you to know that they're there for you.

Fifth is the Individualistic Political. These people are charismatic and tend to be the face of an organization. They are your leaders and executives and are very focused on the image of an organization.

Last is the Traditional Regulatory. Your high Traditional person is going to be very focused on the processes that make an organization run. While not averse to change they have a tendency to question change which can make them look like they're hard to work with.

All of this information is extremely important when you are trying to build an engaged and enthusiastic team. Why? Because when you have a well-rounded team with members who are doing the work they love to do you create a culture of excellence. This is where you find your champions.

I share two examples of the Workplace Motivators in action from a leadership perspective and a job fit perspective that you definitely don't want to miss. These two examples highlight the ways you can use Motivators in your own organization to build highly engaged teams.

Which Motivator best describes you? How do you think you could use this tool to create a stronger organization and more cohesive culture at your company?

Maintaining a motivated workplace is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Oftentimes, executives attempt to engage their teams through group outings and large meetings to encourage socialization and connection to improve motivation.

While these are good exercises, the key to maintaining an engaged workforce is focusing on the level of the individual employee. Each employee is going to have different strengths, weaknesses, and workplace motivators that shape the way they work in your organization.

In this episode:

What is Executive Presence, and how do you know if you have it? Executive Presence is a leader's ability to engage, align, and inspire people to move and act. Having an Executive Presence in the workplace means you are the person people turn to for solutions and guidance, and it provides you with a position of influence.

[00:01:28] Welcome to the Wake Up Eager Workforce Podcast!

[00:03:08] We are talking about Executive Presence and the power of options today and what it looks like to embody that in the workplace by having self-awareness as a leader.

[00:04:29] I'd like to introduce my guest, Shawn Simon, and his background and expertise.

[00:32:33] Shawn speaks about strategies that help leaders improve their presence and maintain influence with their audiences. This can help in reducing resistance by seeking to understand your audience.

[00:37:10] Shawn shares his top DISC styles and the insight he has gained about how he works and communicates.

[00:45:35] Shawn and Suzie discuss motivators and how they impact the way you work. Motivators help identify where you bring the most value to your work and how to better identify the best working environment for you. Shawn and Suzie discuss some of the most common motivators in executives and how they are displayed in the workplace.

[00:51:49] Shawn speaks about EQ (emotional intelligence) and the role it plays in developing and maintaining Executive Presence through your leadership style.

[00:53:27] How Shawn found his way into coaching.

[00:57:10] Some of Shawn's Wake Up Eager tips that keep him in touch with his mind, body, and spirit.

[01:00:47] Shawn's advice to his 25-year-old self would be to get in touch with himself through the three sciences because it is foundational for all your future engagements.

[01:01:33] Shawn's message on a billboard would be to "Make Your Journey with the Trimetric EQ" because it is the foundation for a great journey in life.

[01:02:21] Shawn shares parting words and closing thoughts surrounding Executive Presence and the self-awareness it takes for you to lean into being an effective leader.
