Conscious Leadership

What are 12 qualities of high achievers? In this week's podcast, we're re-sharing another great episode where Laura discusses her observation of 5 incredible women who have achieved wild success professionally. While unique and diverse in style, personality, and preferences, they share 12 qualities that differentiate peak performers.  But remember... They weren't BORN with any of these qualities (with the exception of perhaps one).  They developed, practiced, grooved, and perfected them over their career. And even now, each of them well into their career, they are still refining with enthusiasm to get better every day. And the best part is, you can do this too! In this episode: 12 Qualities of High Achievers 6:15- Acknowledge your fears and step forward anyway 7:15- Learn to fail well 8:30- Ask for what you want and forge your own path 9:30- Ensure your goals are impact-driven 10:15- Practice the “And”  11:30- Possess infinite curiosity 12:30- Be an advocate for equity and opportunity 13:30- Know your boundaries and what you refuse to sacrifice 14:50- Lead others with compassion 15:40- Access your whole-self intelligence 16:50- Tend to your well-being 17:40- Integrate rituals of play into your life Are you a leadership developer who knows you have so many great employees with the potential to be high achievers in your organization?

Studies have found that the happiest and most successful people are those who wake up every day to clear-cut, meaningful goals that provide purpose, and who use grit to accomplish those goals. So, what is the connection between goal setting and finding your purpose? In this week's episode, we are thrilled to welcome author and executive coach, Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP. We share a candid conversation about the importance of women being authentic leaders and mentors through uplifting other women in their ideas, goals, and accomplishments. Plus, we discuss how to realize your purpose and happiness through accomplishing hard goals with good grit.  In this episode:  2:45- Get to know Caroline--how sharing personal stories inspire and educate others 9:00- The evidence behind women supporting women 22:30- How can leaders consciously amplify women's successes? 31:15- The link between happiness and goal setting 40:45- How good grit can be cultivated in our lives About Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP For three decades, Caroline has been a pioneer with her groundbreaking work in the areas of goal setting, grit, happiness and success. She is recognized as one of the world's leading positive psychology experts on this research and how it can be applied to one's life for maximum transformation, flourishing and growth. Caroline helps people identify, come up with a plan for, and persist in pursuing their toughest goals — leading to their success, happiness and flourishing, while inspiring those around them. Achieving hard, meaningful goals is one of the most rewarding things we can do in both our personal and professional lives. Although she didn't have a word for it at the time, Caroline used "grit" and a resilient mindset to help overcome her personal battle with bulimia, which propelled her into the spotlight when her autobiography, My Name is Caroline (Doubleday 1988), became the first recovery memoir to offer hope to eating disorder sufferers who didn't know recovery was possible. Today, she helps others develop the traits they need to get to the finish line. Angela Duckworth, winner of the 2013 MacArthur Genius grant for her research on grit, said of Caroline: “I don't know anybody who has thought more than [Caroline] about how to apply the scientific research on grit and achievement to our own lives! Angela Duckworth Caroline is the author of seven books, including the bestselling My Name is Caroline (Doubleday 1988), which was an Alternate Selection of the Literary Guild, and Positively Caroline (Cogent 2013), its sequel. Creating Your Best Life (Sterling 2009/2021), is the first mass market self-help book on the science of happiness and how it intersects with the science of accomplishing goals. It is popular in the mass market and is also used as a textbook in numerous coaching and Positive Psychology classes around the world. The “father of Positive Psychology,” Martin Seligman, lauded Caroline's scholarship in his book Flourish, noting that she had “added a major missing piece to the world of coaching” because of her ground-breaking and evidence-based connection between Positive Psychology and success. Her workbook, Your Happiest Life, is a four-week guide to help users learn how to set and accomplish goals in a step-by-step way through science-based activities and proven techniques. Getting Grit (Sounds True 2017) discusses why the character strength grit is so important to a flourishing life, who has it, and how to cultivate, amplify, and teach it. Her newest book, #I have your Back Success Groups (2021) is a how-to guide for women on how to create and benefit from a mastermind group. Live Happy Magazine named Creating Your Best Life one of the top 10 goal setting books ever published and Getting Grit one of the 10 books that would change your life in 2017. Caroline's books have been translated into German, Korean, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Italian. Caroline has been a chapter contributor to a number of books including Full Lives, Thriving Women, Thriving World and a French psychology textbook.

Let's get nerdy for a moment: Brain science tells us that humans make decisions in our limbic brain (our feeling brain), and then we validate and justify those decisions in our cortex (our thinking brain). If this is true, why do we over-index on sharing facts and figures as leaders? Today, we have Gabrielle Dolan with us to unpack the importance of stories and hone our skill as storytellers. Storytelling gets a lot of attention in marketing, and yet, as leaders, we consistently miss out on the power of stories as a way to create understanding, inspiration, and alignment. Why? We'll share our hypothesis and dig into the elements of stories that create traction with our company values, goals, and purpose. You'll love the "touch the wall" story Gabrielle shares to illustrate the power of stories in the wild. Gabrielle Dolan is an author, educator, keynote speaker, and coach who has worked with clients like VISA, EY, Amazon, Vodafone and the Obama Foundation. She is the best-selling author of several books including Real Communication, Stories for Work, and her latest book, Magnetic Stories: Connect with Customers and Engage Employees with Brand Storytelling.

How comfortable are you with radical candor?  As promised, this week, Katie and I get real about radical candor. We started this conversation in episode #112: Radical Candor & What People Really Think, but today, you'll get an inside look into our own experience, learning, and practice with radical candor. Radical candor asks us to practice the intersection of caring deeply and challenging directly.  And truthfully, we don't talk to many people who feel skilled at finding and holding that intersection.  We'll share why and give tips on how to build this skill. We'll also end with an experiment that we can all run in our lives as a way to practice.  And maybe someday, radically candid conversations won't feel so radical.  Are you receiving 10X Leadership Lab's Weekly Education?

Do you remember your first "real job"? I do. I started with a global consulting company less than 30 days after graduating from college. I was over the moon excited, slightly petrified, and generally curious about this thing called work.  The stories from my first year are still some of the most memorable of my career. (And worthy of their own podcast episode which would definitely fall squarely in the comedy category). Today, we're hearing snippets from a group of young professionals, and as a leader, I'm not sure if I want to laugh or cry. Maybe both. And while we might chalk it up to the angst of transitioning from student to adult, there's something here for us to digest. Whatever emotions we want to prescribe to it, employees are not having an inspiring experience and their collective "great resignation" is proof positive that expectations are shifting. As leaders, will we shift to pace with those changing expectations? I suspect if we bravely paused our laser focus on business results and refocused our attention on culture, employee experience, and higher purpose, we'd come out ahead. We'll also take a swim in the shallow end of radical candor. You'll leave with a solid foundation on what is and how you might begin to shift from "too polite" or "too abrasive" to direct, compassionate candor that strengthens relationships. And no worries! Next week we'll take a deep end plunge with it. ________________________________________ The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose #radicalcandor  

Today is all about psychological safety. I'll share a secret about my own experience as we deep dive into a myth of leadership and walk through a practice you can use that will pay HUGE DIVIDENDS.    Psychological safety matters. And while we may have an instant reaction to the terminology, I encourage you to listen with curiosity to this episode.  We wrap with an experiment you can run. I'd love to hear how it goes... reach out with your result to laura@10xleadershiplab.com and fill me in! ___________________________ The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists to transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win-win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.

Wish you knew how to actualize the potential of your teams? You're in for a treat because, today, Ellen Burts-Cooper is with me. Ellen is one of my favorite educators on cohesive, agile team performance, and she's going to share her approach to creating high-performing teams.  One of the reasons I love Ellen's work is she focuses on both style and systems. It's easy to over-index on style as it's more provocative, but without good systems, we dilute our strength.  What will you walk away with?  A methodology for co-creating team norms and working agreements. The ready-made recipe to run a Team Reunion; a concept I love!  I'm convinced we all need to host one with our teams in the immediate future.   Ellen is the senior managing partner of Improve Consulting and Training Group (http://improveconsulting.biz/) and is on faculty at Case Western Reserve University in the Weatherhead Executive Education Program and The Institute for Management Studies (IMS). She's written two books: “aMAZEing Organizational Teams: Navigating 7 Critical Attributes for Cohesion, Productivity and Resilience” and “Canine Instinct: A Guide to Survival and Advancement in Corporate America.” You can connect with her directly on LinkedIn.    The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists to transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win-win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.

You know that water you're swimming in that you can't see because you're so deeply immersed in it? That's your culture.  And Katie, Kelly, and I are going to try to demystify culture so that we, as leaders, can get busy taking the best steps to cultivating a thriving culture (and thus, a thriving business).  We play with: the definition of culture (what it is and isn't), what leaders get wrong about it, how to get a pulse on your culture, and the FIRST actions you need to take if you're interested in transforming your culture.  Between the 3 of us, you'll hear the perspective of a positive psychology leadership coach (Katie), a deeply embedded Conscious Capitalism voice (Kelly), and a CEO (me / Laura). We hope you learn from all 3! In upcoming weeks, we'll dig into the systems (consciously designed or not) of culture like decision making and communication. __________________________________ The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.

Everyone's talking about the start of the college football season (Go Bucks) and stakeholders. At 10X, we talk about Stakeholder Win/Win versus Stakeholder Capitalism because clear rules the day, and when its all said and done, what matters is what we do, not the theories we espouse.  In today's conversation, we're putting our toe into stakeholder win/win; exploring a model 10X uses to create a conversation around what this is with each stakeholder in our ecosystem.  I always try to remember that conflict and disagreement almost always root from misalignment. And often, misalignment roots from unclear expectations around outcomes and behaviors.  This simple process will help you transform your relationships with your stakeholders and set the stage for future conversations about stakeholders over the next several months.    The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose   

Want to hear our answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about strategy? Join Katie, Kelly, and I as we surface how to lead strategy, what to guard against, and how to solve for the most vexing question: successful implementation.  We had a lot of fun during this "coffee talk" conversation (a non-negotiable of 10X in action) and hopefully got to the core of what you're most curious about. 10X Strategy is something entirely distinct from traditional strategy. As you consider how to use the elements and discover we've missed your burning question, email it to us at hello@10xleadershiplab.com.  We'll include it in an upcoming conversation.  -------------------------------- The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez     #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose 

This is Part 2 of our strategy series. Last week, we talked about the cadence (process) of strategy creation and successful actualization. This week we're diving into the subtle. The most important work strategically happens before we run a competitive analysis, brainstorm our SWOT, or look at market trends.  In fact, starting with these exercises increases our likelihood of failure. What matters most is getting clear on what's inspiring, worthy, and impactful. From there, we can create the form and function of our strategic plan through that lens.  If you're interested in exploring the 10X Strategy Methodology for your company or team, please contact us at hello@10xleadershiplab.com.   The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez     #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose   

Not surprising, 10X Leadership Lab sees strategic planning differently than convention. Why? Fundamentally, most of us have experienced everything that's broken with the traditional method of planning and execution.  Aspirationally, most of us deeply desire a meaningful process to align our effort and outcomes with what matters most while simultaneously engaging diverse perspectives and financially prospering.  That's 10X Strategy.  In today's conversation, we're going to talk through some of the elements of 10X Strategy as Part 1 of a three part series. Think of this conversation as laying the foundation. In our upcoming conversations, we'll refine and explore how to bring this process to life.    The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez     #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose 

Don your superhero cape... we're diving into the superpowers of 10X Leaders.  In this episode, we're taking one last look at the qualities of 10X Leaders; focusing on a few attributes that are game changers.  I'll also share the easiest way to gut check your alignment with the principles of 10X Leadership with a personal story that has stayed with me for over 2 decades.  So much of what we've learned about leadership is antithetical to what we know about how people thrive and best perform. As leaders, if we want to be great, we've got to rewrite our approach which asks us to both shift our own behavior and also embed better systems and methods into our culture.  --------------------- The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez     #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose   

In the last two episodes, we've explored how to get crystal clear on your leadership story. Your leadership story is a synthesis of your life's stories. Not every little detail; but the ones that touched you deeply, changed you immeasurably, and opened you to new possibilities.  In today's episode, Katie, Kelly, and I each share one story that has had a meaningful imprint on who we are as a leader with the hopes of modeling why and how your leadership story matters.  Maybe more than your learnings amassed, accolades gathered, competencies developed. Want to be a great leader?  Start with your WHY. It is the taproot.  ____________________________________ The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez     #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose 

Pause for a moment: What's your personal higher purpose? And if you lead others, what is each of theirs?  If you stumble on this, this episode is for you.   No one jumps out of bed inspired and willing to put themselves boldly into the world day after day, year after year, when our work is misaligned with the impact we most want to have or when our WHY is overshadowed by an obsession with financial results and KPI's. We might get excited for awhile, but eventually, our soul will rumble with discontent.  As leaders, the most important work we can do is to intentionally embed the Higher Purpose of the business, ourselves, and our team into the DNA of what we do every day.  Join Katie, Kelly, and I as we dive into the practices and rituals that help each of us connect and stay aligned with our personal higher purpose.  We reference several blog posts that you can find HERE (How we can be happier), HERE (Part 2), and HERE (Becoming Fluent At Thriving).

There's a big reveal in this episode that may bring a sigh of relief or "oh sh*t" to your well intentioned leadership heart.  In today's conversation, Katie Comtois and I dive into what it means to create a coaching culture, why it matters, and the fallacy of thinking we can focus on the what and how to create true engagement.  It's the WHY that matters; not just the business' but our individual why (which informs the how and what of our leadership) and the WHY of our teams. As leaders, we play an instrumental role in ensuring everyone has the opportunity to experience the intersection of those three WHY's.  We'll begin to unpack this concept; giving helpful hints on what it looks like as a daily practice.  _____________________________________________ The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez

Listen in this week as Laura is joined by Katie and Kelly for the second part of our discussion on the WHERE of work. We unpack how involving Higher Purpose, a company's North Star, releasing control, and manifesting inspiration can help leaders navigate the decision around the physical nature of "the office" in a world that is returning to work. ------------------------------ The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez #10ximpact #10xleadershiplab #impactdrivenbusiness #stakeholdercapitalism #businessstrategy  #consciousleadership #consciouscapitalism #leadership #bcorp  #higherpurpose 

The WHERE of work is a hot topic, and one we believe is an open invitation to lifting above the question itself to instead consider how we can lead consciously.   In this week's conversation, we'll talk about using the WHY and WHAT of a job to identify all of the ways we might answer WHEN and WHERE; leaving the HOW to the individual contributor.  This is our chance to help people align with work that supports their whole self and their holistic vision of a life well lived.  The 10X Impact podcast is a production of 10X Leadership Lab. 10X Leadership Lab exists transform business into a vehicle that elevates humanity through conscious leadership, stakeholder win win, thriving culture, and higher purpose.   Visit www.10xleadershiplab.com Subscribe to 10X Leadership Lab Education Follow Us on LinkedIn Connect with your host, Laura Juarez  

This week, we're talking with Carley Hauck. Carley is a leadership development professional and Stanford Instructor who teaches people to lead consciously and envision a workplace that prioritizes people and planet first. Her most recent book, SHINE, is her recipe for conscious leadership. In this episode, Carley and I talk about what it means to tend to our inner game before playing the outer game, how to become more mindful as a leader, and what she sees as the qualities of conscious leaders for the future.  Carley's personal passion around environmental sustainability has fueled much of her work, and gives us all a model around how to align our careers with our purpose.  You can learn more about Carley on here website as well as request the PDF she references at the end of our chat.
