the GIVE. the TAKE. and the GET: UNCORKED with Matt Fletcher Dec 27, 2021

Show notes

This episode is an UNCORK CONVERSATION with Matt Fletcher.

Matt is an UNCOMMODiFiED Podcast listener that I connected with through social media. After learning his story, I wanted to have on the show to share his personal and professional journey of buying his Dad’s business. And then recently selling that business to a larger corporation in an industry in which up to 70% of the industry’s knowledge could vaporize in the next ten years, and a historic number of businesses will be bought and sold.

Matt and I chat about the GIVE and TAKE in negation and what we GIVE and GET in life and business transactions and transitions. Because in the end, Matt didn’t just buy and sell a business; he purchased and sold roles and identities.

Along the way, we explore: What was easier than he expected? And what was harder than he expected when the business transitioned from his father to him and his brother? And then what was it like for him when the business was recently sold to a larger corporation?

Grab Pepsi or a Coke, and let’s see what we can GIVE and GET and BUY and SELL today.

the 4 GIFTS: what People Really Want from their Leaders for Christmas Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, I highlight the 4 GIFTS that I consistently hear that employees, teams, partners, your partner, your children, and even your dog and cat want and need from you and other leaders this Christmas and throughout next year.

Give these 4 GIFTS that are on everyone's Christmas list this year and every year, and you will build trust and catalyze the attention and desire to set and achieve your goals. Because if you don't, there will be a lump of coal or a chunk of something else equally as disappointing in everyone's stocking and under every tree again this year. There will be division, confusion, and detrimental diminishment of effectiveness and impact for the people you attempt to lead and guide.

The four most BENEFICIAL and BEAUTIFUL Gifts that Wise Women and Wise Men who come together to lead others must come bearing this Christmas are CONSISTENCY. COHESIVENESS. COORDINATION. and CLARITY ... these are the Gifts people want and need from those who have been given the gift of leading and influencing them.

a Curious Man. a Consensus Building Mayor. an UN-POLITICIAN. Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

This episode is entitled "a CURIOUS Man. a CONSENSUS Building Mayor. an UN-POLITICIAN who Marches to the Beat of a Different Drummer." it's an UNCORK Conversation hosted by Kris MacQueen (my Podcast Producer) with Cam Guthrie, the Mayor of one of Canada's fastest-growing cities, Guelph, Ontario.

In this UNCORK conversation, Kris and Cam (and myself: eavesdropper and occasional interrupter in this episode) poke and prod into the mysterious world of politics and politicians. And as we do, we push into ideas like ... What you can learn when you lose. How curiosity and open-mindedness make all the difference. And the importance of living and leading with "NO REGRETS."

We talk about How to find a "hill to die on" without "killing people" on your way to the top. And about The cost and payoff of meaningful engagement as a leader.

We explore the power of Social Media and the boundaries that make it sustainable and healthy for you and others. And how a bit of levity and a proactive "thanks for caring enough to show up" conversation will break the harshness that can live within the rigorous debate and disagreements that will come from passionate people trying to be great and do great things for others.

Along the trails and rabbit trails in this Conversation, Cam … Mr. Mayor … Cam encourages us to understand the power of Authentic thankfulness and challenges and encourages you to understand that:

You don't have to go to University or College to be a continual learner. BUT YOU DO NEED TO BE CURIOUS & ADMIT YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING.

And that there is one bad "political behaviour" that always causes politicians to not give their attention to the right thing for the right reason. Cam challenged us, and I am sure he will challenge you to understand and believe that Democracy is BIGGER than YOU and ME ... and even HIM.

You will need a drink and a pad of paper for this one. Got it; let's get really UN-Political and UNCORK this one right now.

THE SANDS OF TIME: the Key to IMPACT & EFFECTIVENESS Dec 05, 2021

Show notes

In this NITTY-GRITTY episode, I uncover and expose the GREAT BIG LIE that keeps you from being as productive as you could be.

Give me 12-minutes and 14-seconds of your time, which you will never get back, and you will discover the key to maximizing your impact and effectiveness. You will, as I have, find the TRUTH and the WISDOM within the GLASS.

Think about this question before you listen to this episode.

When you hear the word "TIME," what do you see? a Clock or a Calendar? or maybe you see something fundamentally more transformative, provocative, and instructive? ... I know I do.

MindSet ReSet: Getting off the Hamster Wheel Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

This episode entitled "MindSet ReSet: Getting off the Hamster Wheel" is an UNCORK Conversation with Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner Lisa Schermerhorn.

Lisa and I walk some of the fiery coals of our fears and failures and challenge ourselves and you to explore the conscience and subconscious beliefs, the "scripts" we run and rehearse in our mind – good or bad and how they predict and propel our behaviour.

She shared some practical ideas, strategies, and tools to create and sustain mindset "shifts and resets"? And how discovering your "WHY" is deeply connected to all this.

If you choose (and it is a choice) to listen in on this conversation, Lisa will provoke you to find the "purpose your the pain." And to give the gift of your pain a new job to do. She also explains how epigenetics may be at work in you. And the importance of understanding that Your purpose doesn't always pay, but it will reward you and others when you find it and live in it.

Grab a glass of wine, have a drink, spin the record …. and find and fix the skip.

THE RIPPLE EFFECT: UNCORKED with KRISTIN LINDEEN Nov 09, 2021

Show notes

In this UNCORK CONVERSATION, with Keynote Speaker, Facilitator, and Author, KRISTIN LINDEEN, we explore the idea of Generational Journeys. How personal and professional values translate, transfer, and continue to transform from one generation to another.

We muse about the privilege we all have to call out the gifts we see in others. And we ask if our journeys are determined choice or decided destiny. We challenge you to make sure you are transferring PASSION, not just process and principles. And we encourage you to understand that ideas and ideals are Caught AND Taught.

Kristin provides excellent advice and practical tools to empower and equip leaders, parents, and educators to transfer foundational values to the next generation. And, along the way, we challenge and encourage you to BE THE RIPPLE EFFECT and intentionally "ripple" into the next generation your most essential values.

Do you want to Equip and Empower others to be accountable and live a value-based life? THEN YOU MUST BREAK THE "WIZARD OF OZ" SYNDROME.

Grab a coffee and get ready to drop your pebble into the pond and become the "Ripple Effect."

The Alchemy of Change and Choice Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

In this NITTY-GRITTY Episode, we explore the "Alchemy of Change and Choice."

Listen in and discover:

The four base "elements" that need to be "mixed" together to create and sustain CHANGE and CHOICE.
That when your desire for change is "magically morphed" into a true OBSESSION for the change you want, you will begin to make "gold."
That the words you use to "mix" your "potion" of change with really matter. Do you "want" to change or "MUST" you change?

Your organization DOESN'T EXIST or DO ANYTHING Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

this is a 1 MINUTE & 42 SECOND mini NITTY-GRITTY Episode that will provoke and challenge you to understand that your organization DOESN'T EXIST or DO ANYTHING.

If you think that your organization can be fundamentally different than your people, you are deceiving yourself. Your organization DOESN'T EXIST or DO ANYTHING ... PEOPLE DO.

If you want to be a better "organization," you have to focus on making your "people" better.

If you want to be a world-class "organization" that delights its clients, you have to focus on making your "people" world-class delighters ... it's really that simple and that hard.

If you want to be a kinder, more tolerant "organization" that treats each other well and respectfully, you have to focus on making your "people" less rude and disrespectful ... it's really that simple and that hard.
