The Building Champions Podcast

Leadership is more than what you do. In addition to our behaviors, we all have beliefs and ways of thinking that impact our ability to lead, whether we realize it or not. Join us as we explore both the beliefs and the behaviors of great leadership by drawing insights from unexpected places. Then, in the second half of each episode, we’ll sit down with one of our experienced Executive Coaches to discuss how you can apply what you’ve learned so that you can transform the way you live and lead.

The Power of the Outsider Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

No matter who you are as a leader, you're going to have blind spots. Making the right decisions regarding people, money, organizational focus, and whatever else comes your way is impossible to do alone. And always turning to the same people for advice can lead to stale, repetitive action that doesn't lead to growth.

On this episode, we dive into how involving a network of the right kinds of outsiders can do wonders for your leadership - if you're willing to accept the help.

Great Teams Start With Trust Jun 24, 2019

Show notes

Trust. It's a simple word that serves as the source of so much fear, difficulty and confusion in our lives. This is especially true at work, where trust between team members isn't always easy to come by. But research shows that trust is perhaps the number one thing that healthy teams have in common, and that unhealthy teams desperately need. But trust requires hard work, vulnerability and commitment. So how do you build it?

Join us as we learn from Jeff Gibson—President of Consulting with The Table Group—about why trust is so important and how you and your team can start making it a priority.

Being Right vs. Getting It Right Jun 17, 2019

Show notes

Healthy teams function at their best when every member of the team is supporting one another and working together to make sure the best ideas and solutions are brought to the table. But whether you're a leader or a team member, we've all had experiences where just the opposite occurs. A teammate dominates the conversation with their own ideas, or we become defensive when our own ideas are called into question. In these instances, our fears and insecurities create an unhealthy environment, one where the team stops working together to get things right and instead, we focus on being right and protecting our own egos.

Join us as we learn from Adal Rifai—improviser, coach and teacher at Chicago's acclaimed iO Theater—about what the practices of successful improv teams can teach us about how to focus less on being right and start focusing more on what you and your team can do to get it right and achieve better creativity, cohesion and results.

Rethinking Recharging Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

Most of us treat our minds and our bodies like we treat our phone batteries. We run hard, pushing through without taking breaks, and we wear ourselves down to zero, thinking that whatever sleep we get will be enough to recharge us to 100 percent and prepare us for the next busy day. And we think this is the best way to get things done and succeed in business and in life. But what we don't realize is that our bodies need moments to recharge throughout the day, and stopping to take efficient, purposeful breaks will actually help us to go further, faster in our lives and leadership. Join us as we learn from four-time Iditarod champion Dallas Seavey and wellness expert Patrick Khoo about how you can rethink recharging and start implementing practices that will set you up for success throughout your days and weeks.

Maximizing Your Morning Routine Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

How we start our mornings can have a disproportionate impact on the success we experience throughout the rest of the day. And yet, many of us simply roll out of bed without any clear plan for how to effectively use our mornings. We sleep late and hit the snooze button multiple times, or we grab our phones first thing and dive right into the stress of work. But what if by intentionally setting aside time in the morning to invest in your physical and mental well-being, you could feel more confident and purposeful in both your life and your leadership?

Join us as we talk with University of Oregon's Curtis Taylor—Associate Head Coach of their distinguished Track and Field team—as we discover how the routines of competitive sprinters can shed light on how we can design and improve our own morning routines.

Are You Sure? May 27, 2019

Show notes

Our brains love simple narratives and black-and-white thinking. But unfortunately for our brains, life is usually never that simple. In many of the decisions we make, both at home and at work, there are often multiple variables at play, there is some important information we do not have access to, and luck can play a big role in how things turn out. And when we try to oversimplify something when it's actually nuanced and complex, our decision-making suffers.

Join us as we talk with decision-making expert and former poker player Annie Duke as she highlights the common gaps in our thinking, and what you as a leader can do to embrace uncertainty in your decision-making and get better results.

Fighting The Drift May 20, 2019

Show notes

We all want to lead lives of purpose, to feel like we are achieving something and moving toward some clear goal. But unfortunately, many of us find this hard to do. In our increasingly fast-paced and complex lives, there are so many things vying for our time and attention that we can easily get caught up in the day-to-day stresses of life and lose sight of the bigger picture. These things add up to form what we call The Drift. The Drift is a subtle force that constantly threatens to pull us off course in our lives and leadership, and if we're not careful, we can end up in a place where we never intended to be. Join us as we explore how, through awareness and intentional planning, you can stop drifting and achieve the results you want in both your life and your leadership.

Our Need To Belong May 13, 2019

Show notes

The need to belong is a core part of the human experience. We all have a deep desire to be connected to a group and to feel like we're a part of something greater than ourselves. This need is present in all areas of life, including work, and the best leaders know that fostering a sense of belonging in their organizations is crucial for success. Join us as we discover how a dynamic roller derby league in Portland, Oregon has worked to create a powerful culture of belonging—and learn how you can start taking steps to make belongingness an important part of your personal, team and organizational leadership.
