Walking Your Talk | Culture Change & Leadership episodes
- 13: Courage series - Why you should step outside your comfort zone
What would represent stepping several steps outside your comfort zone for you? What are the risks you have been unwilling to take? The opportunities you have not yet grabbed? In this episode Carolyn helps you to challenge the stories you tell yourself about risk, and tests whether you can change them so you are able to take more courageous steps than you have before.

Walking the Talk: www.walkingthetalk.com10 min - 12: Courage series - Courage = fear+action. Is your equation balanced?
To act in the face of feeling anxious, or even fearful, is the sign of courage. Anxiety and fear are signals that you are moving outside of your comfort zone and into a zone where your career, your business, and your life can start to accelerate. In this, the first of a four-part series on becoming more courageous, Carolyn defines courage as fear plus action, and challenges you to embrace what that represents for you.

Walking the Talk: www.walkingthetalk.com10 min - 11: Accountability series - Actually it is YOU, not them
It is easy to blame others when they do not deliver what you expect. But the responsibility also lies with the asker, person who set the expectations in the first place. This final episode in the accountability series covers what you can do to increase the likelihood that someone will deliver to your expectations, and what you need to do if they do not.

Walking the Talk: www.walkingthetalk.com9 min - 9: Accountability series - Giving your word - it's a skill
Those who consistently keep their word learn early that it becomes essential to give your word with care. Many just say yes to everything and then gain a reputation of being unreliable. Make your word count, promise deliberately, learn to negotiate when you think what is being asked of you is not achievable.

Walking the Talk: www.walkingthetalk.com11 min - 8: Accountability series - Ask for that commitment!
If in every accountability ‘contract’ there is an asker and a giver, it is the role of the asker that is often underrated and under-emphasised. Skilful asking, clear negotiation of commitments, and active engagement at the start, dramatically increases the likelihood that what is expected is delivered at the end. This episode describes the role and responsibilities of a skilful asker, the person who is hoping that others will deliver to them what they want. Turn a hope into a near certain expectation through the techniques covered in this episode.

Walking the Talk: www.walkingthetalk.com11 min - 7: Accountability series - Are you using the accountability equation?
At its core accountability is a contract between two people, one the asker, one the giver. When both of working in harmony, good accountability produces consistent performance, heightened trust, no unexpected surprises. In this, the first in the series on accountability, Carolyn describes a new and exciting way of thinking about accountability that is empowering and exciting, rather than evoking traditional concerns of consequences, pressure or punishment.

Walking the Talk: www.walkingthetalk.com12 min - 6: Simplicity series - Mastering the art of saying 'yes'... and 'no'
How to reduce the syndrome of “piling on” and embed a culture of simplicity. Most leaders who lack credibility in espousing aspirations of simplicity and focus hold deeply held beliefs that more is always better. If you tend to say “yes” to more and more, adding workload to yourself and to others, then this episode is for you. The final in the Walking the Talk series on Simplicity, you will learn what it means to add and subtract with purpose, and how clarity of purpose can change your relationship with saying “yes” to everything that comes along and looks like the silver bullet that will solve everything.

Walking the Talk: www.walkingthetalk.com10 min - 5: Simplicity series - How avoiding decisions makes things complicated
How to increase agility and simplicity by speeding up decisions. Do you procrastinate? Or seek more and more information before making difficult decisions? Your behaviour will be creating workload for others, and making your organisation less agile, less easy to do business with, slower to market. In this third episode in Walking the Talk’s series on Simplicity, Carolyn will show you how to observe where your own reluctance to make certain types of decision will lead others to perceive you as not walking your talk when you aspire for more simplicity. They will blame you for complexity, and they may be right. Learn how to turn this around.
