    183 - Play is the Name of the Game For Success with Jeff Harry Nov 27, 2020
    Show notes

    Looking to change the game plan for 2021? If you want to succeed, then you have to listen to this episode's guest Jeff Harry. He's got the goods!

    More on Jeff:

    Jeff Harry shows individuals and companies how to tap into their true selves, to feel their happiest and most fulfilled — all by playing. Jeff has worked with Google, Microsoft, Southwest Airlines, Adobe, the NFL, Amazon, and Facebook, helping their staff to infuse more play into the day-to-day. Jeff is an international speaker who has presented at conferences such as INBOUND, SXSW, and Australia’s Pausefest, showing audiences how major issues in the workplace can be solved using play. Jeff was selected by BambooHR & Engagedly as one of the Top 100 HR Influencers of 2020 for his organizational development work around dealing with toxic people in the workplace. His play work has most recently been featured in the NY Times article: How Do We Add More Play To Our Grown-Up Life - Even Now. He has also been featured on AJ+, SoulPancake, the SF Chronicle, and CNN. While we spend most of our time pretending to be important, serious grownups, it's when we let go of that facade and just play, that the real magic happens. Fully embracing your own nerdy genius — whatever that is — gives you the power to make a difference and change lives. Jeff believes that we already have many of the answers we seek, and by simply unleashing our inner child, we can find our purpose and, in turn, help to create a better world.

    178 - Be a Force of Badassery! With Laura Khalil Jun 20, 2020
    Show notes

    Looking for the tools to make a mark? Check out this episode where I get to talk "Badassery" with Laura Khalil!

    Laura Khalil is on a mission to teach business professions how to embrace their inner badass. Laura is a master storyteller, award-winning brand marketer and dedicated researcher of human behavior. She climbed the corporate ladder in her early 20s only to reach the glass ceiling when her boss warned her that she was “intimidating men in the boardroom” and was advised to “soften her language” and “smile more.” Fed up, she left to launch her own tech marketing consulting business. Laura soon found that the qualities that helped her to succeed were the same qualities she had been previously reprimanded for and quickly amassed a roster of clients including companies like Intel, Twitter, GE and more. Today, she provides keynote talks and digital training on issues that matter to women, people to color, and allies - she recently spoke at the Forbes 30 under 30 summit!

    177 - Forget Your Leadership Style With Greg Thomas May 18, 2020
    Show notes

    "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." -Warren G. Bennis

    How are things in your state? Are you running the streets (like Mel Gibson in Braveheart) screaming, "FREEDOM!"? That's kind of been the feel here where I live....not by me but by many. Regardless of where you are, we here in the studio hope you are healthy and well.

    On this episode, I had the awesome opportunity to talk with Greg Thomas about his new book, "Code Your Way Up." It's not a book (or a conversation) just for coders. Greg has leadership tips that can be used by all in their quest to lead better and do better for their teams. One key thing he said to me in our conversation was to "follow your non-leadership style." What's that about? Take a listen and find out....that's why I titled the episode the way I did.

    CHEERS!

    More on Greg...

    Greg Thomas has seen (and done) it all – whether it’s been writing code, leading projects, breaking builds or developing and launching products – all while amassing an impressive wealth of experience as a team leader.

    In Code Your Way Up, Greg asks (and answers) the important questions facing leaders in the software industry that don’t get asked enough (or at all) in identifying what it takes to be a great software leader and what to do when things go sideways.

    If you’re new to software leadership or it’s something you aspire to, Code Your Way Up breaks it all down for you, pointing out the pitfalls and the joys, and providing you with a blueprint for excellence and success. It’s the perfect balance of information and inspiration, imparted with humor, empathy, and clarity and it starts with taking the same approach to leading as you do to coding – jumping in.
