Letting Go - Becoming Willing to Experience the Mystery in Life Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

In our culture we often try shoulder through adversity and difficulty with a focus on "mastery" - how can I figure it out, master the skills required, and move through what is happening in a way that limits my pain? In this episode, one of my suggestions is that a great counterbalance is to focus on building the emotional and mental muscle required to live in the mystery of the moment and the times. I discuss ways to use current experiences to evolve one's capacity to do challenging things that ultimately lead to great peace and happiness in life like "letting go" and creating space for the creative to arrive.

S3E14: Accountability in Tough Times - Kind or Cruel Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

I return to you all with a solo episode to respond to the many questions from leaders wondering if accountability is still relevant in times of crises. The answer - absolutely - in fact fostering accountability is the key to growing teams and evolving people into high value talent today and in the future. Accountability and empathy are not mutually exclusive and accountability doesn't have to hurt. I advocate for increasing the support rather than lowering the standards and as always, give listeners great practical guidance for how to care about your people, honor their unique circumstances in their lives AND call them to greatness.

Growth After Trauma Jul 13, 2020

Show notes

Recently I've been reminded of Post-Traumatic Growth and our ability to transform after some pretty difficult experiences. Many are wondering at this time in our history if we will recover, not just economically but as a team and as a nation. We have proven to be a resilient human race throughout history and studies. Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) suggest that not only we will recover, but we will demonstrate the immense human capacity for resiliency and growth.

Cy calls for leaders to instill hope in their teams, calling for the ability to imagine many beautiful and positive outcomes so that we can emerge from the traumas of the past months as better humans and more cohesive teams. Leaders need to facilitate not just surviving, but profound growth that will fuel the creation of a better workplace.

I have two assignments for you this week:

#1. Sit down and spend time with the envisioning of many possible positive outcomes.

#2. Find ways to commit to them without attachment.

Join in and learn why we can become prisoners of our own minds and how inquiry can regain mental freedom which fuels great leadership.

Facilitating Healing Conversations at Work Jun 29, 2020

Show notes

As leaders, we are being stretched to use get fluent in a variety of new competencies and this week, I will be going deep into the art of "Holding Space" in order to maximize the impact our current world can have on the evolution of you and your team.

On this episode I deliver an advanced lesson in going beyond ego in response to a trend in the questions being sent in, "How should I handle the tough conversations that need to happen at work?' Leaders are looking for what to do and how to do it right when it comes to addressing the conversations happening in the world as they are brought to work. Here's the reality, jumping directly into action is premature. Now is the time to ensure that many are being heard and that is at times uncomfortable.

Are You Resilient? Jun 22, 2020

Show notes

I believe resilience is one of the most important competencies we can develop as individuals and businesses if we want success, peace, and happiness. For businesses, it's about keeping people ready for what's next, preparing them with the skills & mindsets to tackle challenging circumstances. For individuals, it's about how you curate your life, build your networks, how you respond to disruption and uncertainty. And you'll love hearing my research on what the most resilient people had in common.

In this episode, we're going to talk about how to respond when your feelings get hurt, which involves understanding our triggers, moving beyond judgment and setting boundaries. We'll also talk about how negative thoughts and shaming can overtake our thinking.
