Alright, let's be real. We've all been to one of those so-called ‘networking events' where you slap on a name tag, shake a bunch of hands, and collect a small stack of business cards that you will—100%—never look at again.And if you're thinking, ‘Nah, I totally follow up,' let me ask you this: Do you remember the last three people you met at one of those things?Exactly.Today, we're going to fix that. Because networking isn't about collecting contacts—it's about being remembered. And let's be honest, most people are pretty forgettable.So, if you're sick of forgettable conversations, let's talk about how to ditch the small talk, spark real connections, and become the kind of person people WANT to follow up with. Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2025/03/14/the-power-of-networking-why-nice-to-meet-you-is-not-enough/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://shortcut.systeme.io/funhttps://calendly.com/jglenos/hello

Ever been on a team where it feels like your team is disengaged, dysfunctional, uncooperative, or uninspired? Yeah, it sucks. It feels like no matter how hard you try, how much effort you put in, how much quality you strive for in your output, it's just not enough. It feels like you just can't win. I've been there too, and the pain is real. But let's not sulk in this sad swamp of sullenness. Instead, let's seek out the sweet sound of success.Today we are introducing a new word into our workplace vocabulary. That word? Teamship. Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2025/01/30/team-not-teaming-i-got-your-back-2/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://shortcut.systeme.io/funhttps://calendly.com/jglenos/hello

November rolls around, and suddenly, gratitude is trending harder than pumpkin spice lattes. Here in the U.S., Thanksgiving sets the stage for feasting, gathering, and (hopefully) counting our blessings. For a few fleeting moments, we pause to reflect on the people and things we cherish most.But let's face it: once the turkey's gone and the holiday decor makes its way back into storage, (because you know, there's Christmas) how often do we revisit that feeling of gratitude? And wouldn't life feel richer if we kept that thankful vibe alive year-round?Here's the deal: gratitude isn't just a seasonal sentiment. It's a secret weapon for happiness, resilience, and even productivity if you let it. So, let's dig into what gratitude is, why it matters, and—most importantly—how to put it into action without requiring you to dust off that half-empty journal you bought ten years ago. (I know, that stung…I've got one too.)

Stop expecting so much from your employees, your family, and yourself. It's a waste of time and a perpetual fountain of disappointment. Sounds ridiculous, right? But, hear me out. I'm not suggesting you lower the bar of what you'd like to see happen in those around you. And I'm certainly not asking you to stop pushing yourself to higher and higher levels. What I am suggesting is that you consider the success rate of your past expectations and the effect they have on you and the people in your life.Expectations are those silent setups that fill you with anticipation and hope, but ultimately result in disappointment, or at best, nothing at all. That's a rollercoaster ride no one asked for.As an example, if someone meets our expectations, we're likely not to have an emotional response (because the other person did exactly what we thought they would do). And if they miss our expectations, we will be disappointed and possibly even angry, disrespected, or devalued.That sounds like a recipe for repeated disaster and growing feelings of imposter syndrome.So, like I said before, stop expecting so much from others. It's a waste of time.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2024/11/11/great-expectations-the-ultimate-disappointment-machine/Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://shortcut.systeme.io/funhttps://calendly.com/jglenos/hello

You've probably struggled at some point with the age-old enigma of time management. You've wrestled with the hours, but the hours always win. You know why? You're fighting the wrong fight.Time management is not finding a way to manage time. It is finding a way to manage discomfort – the discomfort of maintaining focus. Not tasks, not time, but focus!Yeah, that's right. I said it. You are not going to squeeze more out of your day by getting every little thing blocked out on your calendar with some fancy task scheduling software or manual time-blocking calendar. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, Mr. Shortcut Man! Just two episodes ago you told me that time-blocking was the shortcut to improve my self-care routine and get more satisfaction out of my work and my life. And now you're saying that won't help. Are you kidding me?!”Look, I'm not saying not to do your time-blocking routine each day. Please do. It's important. What I am saying is that it is not the total solution to your time management woes. Time-blocking is just the start.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2024/11/04/time-management-is-pain-management/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://shortcut.systeme.io/funhttps://calendly.com/jglenos/hellohttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Hello, I'm Jimmy Glenos, the Life & Leadership Locksmith and welcome to Unlock the Shortcut.Today we take a departure from my typical format because I want to share a great conversation I had with a new friend of mine, Max Palomeque. Max is an Air Force Veteran, FBI Veteran, author, public speaker, certified leadership coach. His new book, the Infourge Compendium of Models and Theories for Coaches, Facilitators, and Consultants is an amazing repository of frameworks, models, theories, tools, and techniques that spans industry relevant knowledge of Bias, Change Management, Culture, Decision-Making, Leadership Development, Problem-Solving, and Stress Management just to name a few. Seriously, it's all in here. In our conversation, we discuss what it's like working for the FBI, the importance of situational leadership, and effective techniques when working with hostile or resistant clients.A big dose of gratitude goes out to my good friend, Maureen Rudell, who introduced me to Max. Maureen is also an Air Force Veteran and leadership coach, and she is the Director of Coaching at Kaveo Leadership. Thank you, Maureen for this wonderful connection. I appreciate both of you. And now my conversation with Max Palomeque.Learn more about Max Palomeque:https://www.linkedin.com/in/fernando-palomeque-mba-03823848/http://www.infourge.co/max@infourge.coLearn more about Maureen Rudell:https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenrudell/https://www.kaveoleadership.com/ Learn more about Jimmy Glenos Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://shortcut.systeme.io/funhttps://calendly.com/jglenos/hellohttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

When we think of self-care, most of us imagine spa days, yoga, meditation, or maybe a well-deserved vacation—anything to break away from the grind. But here's the question you didn't know you needed to ask: Could time-blocking actually be the most powerful form of self-care?Even though we've all done it at some point, we don't really enjoy time-blocking. And that's probably because we don't yet understand the full power of our greatest productivity tool -- the calendar.Ah the calendar; that little grid we love (or more likely, hate) to fill with back-to-back meetings and never-ending deadlines.It feels like the calendar is the ball and chain that keeps us tied to our desks. And to some extent it is, but here's the surprising reality: using your calendar in the right way is the exact thing that gives you more freedom.Seriously! It's like a magic trick. You think it's taking away your time, but instead, it gives you more of it. And when you have more time, you have more freedom.If this all sounds confusing, let me explain.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2024/09/30/could-time-blocking-be-the-self-care-you-never-knew-you-needed/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #leadershipcoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://shortcut.systeme.io/funhttps://calendly.com/jglenos/hellohttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Are you looking forward to going to work today? Or do you feel a sense of dread or stress just wishing you could do anything else but go to work?It happens. Some days you're ready to embrace the day, and other days you're ready to race for the nearest exit. But what if you could find a way to embrace the day every day? Bring a little more fun into your life. What would that feel like? What could you achieve with that kind of mindset?Probably anything you put your mind to, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

[Inhale ------ Exhale]Go ahead. You do it too. Take a nice deep breath. Come on…you know you want to.[Inhale ------ Exhale]That's it. Feels good, right?Of course it does. You're doing what comes naturally and easily with virtually no effort at all. Your body does this for you all day and all night automatically. Your brain keeps you alive and primed for peak performance via your breath. Don't believe me? Consider this.When you're sleeping, your brain provides a nice smooth deep rhythm coaxing you to sleep and keeping you there in sweet slumber.When you're physically active and exerting a lot of effort, your brain kicks things up a notch or two and gets you breathing faster and deeper because your body needs the extra oxygen to help repair your muscles and fuel your vascular system with super rich blood.When you're frightened, scared, or surprised your brain triggers a quick, abrupt inhale quite unlike your normal or fatigued breathing. This quick inhale is critical to raising your alertness and awareness so your eyes get bigger and your senses become more acute.And when you find yourself relieved from your fright, you let out a long, slow exhale. And that is because your brain now knows that all is well, and you will soon find yourself back in your normal, natural breathing rhythm.The fascinating thing is you never have to tell your brain how to breathe. It just does it for you. It puts you in the best possible position to handle the task at hand. And it does it with the breath.Now what if you could do that yourself? Put yourself in the best possible position for the task at hand? That would be pretty amazing, right?Full transcript can be found here:https://jimmyglenos.com/2024/06/29/3-ways-to-use-breath-to-get-you-out-of-trouble/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

If we want to increase our happiness through money we should find ways to make more of it so we can buy more of the things that will make us happier, right?While reasonable enough, that doesn't seem to work very well. There are plenty of miserable millionaires and billionaires. “Mo' money, mo' problems.”The critical link between money and happiness is learning to focus on the ways we spend our money rather than devising ways to accumulate more of it. Sounds simple, right? Yeah, not really. But what if I told you there were a few shortcuts you could employ to raise your happiness quotient (your HQ) through the power of money?If you're ready to unlock the shortcut, let's get started!Full transcript can be found here:https://jimmyglenos.com/2024/04/25/money-cant-buy-happinessor-can-it/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Today we dig a little deeper into our habits and the importance of leaning into our tendencies to ensure we commit to the habits we want to achieve, start them effectively, and maintain them efficiently.If you didn't read the previous post, Building Better Habits, I highly recommend you do so in order to get a good understanding of habit formation and how to maximize your results. Gretchen Rubin explains in her book, The Four Tendencies, that most people align with one of four tendencies in our character or way of being – The Upholder, the Questioner, the Obliger, or the Rebel.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2024/03/08/habits-are-subject-to-tendencies/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Well, it's February and we are long past Blue Monday. That is the third Monday of January. And it's the day that most New Year's Resolutions die of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. And what I mean by that is typically by that third Monday, most folks have either had so many “cheat days”, missed so many days at the gym, eaten pizza instead of greens, not written their blog post, or have completely forgotten they even had a dream in the first place. (And yes, I'm guilty of all of these!)But that doesn't mean we have to admit to being beaten. We can always recommit to our goal, our dream, our resolution. And the good news is, we've already seen what trips us up, so we can more effectively create a path where those obstacles do not get in our way this time.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2024/02/29/building-better-habits/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at https://jimmyglenos.com/ #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Ah, the end of the year—the perfect time to reflect on the rollercoaster of emotions that was the past twelve months – the accomplishments and the hardships, the celebrations and the setbacks. It's all in there.And you're a hard-working, ambitious professional, so you've probably got a lot to look back on.And you should. In order to continue to make meaningful progress, you need to know where you were back then and where you are right now.Because armed with this information, you are better equipped to plot out your goals and aspirations for next year.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/12/29/reflecting-on-the-year-because-who-doesnt-love-a-good-mood-swing/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at jimmyglenos.com #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenos

You're excited you don't have to go to work today, because it is Thanksgiving Day. (If you're lucky enough to work for an organization that is closed today, you get a chance to relax and enjoy time with family or maybe just bathe in some well-deserved “me-time”.) Whatever your scenario, remember to take a moment to pause and give thanks for all the beauty and bounty in your life.Wishing you a wonderful, bountiful Happy Thanksgiving!Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2021/11/24/giving-thanks-and-showing-appreciation/ Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at jimmyglenos.com #jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcast

In our last coaching session, we began our journey into the other AI – Appreciative Inquiry.If you recall, Appreciative Inquiry is the method of solving problems with a strengths-based approach, which employs a 4D Cycle – Discover, Dream, Design, and Destiny. And if you also recall, I took the liberty of changing the last phase from Destiny to Dare, because it is a more active approach to solving problems and achieving the results we seek.In the previous episode, we explored the advantages and values of Discovery and the positive impact it has on mindset and creative solution seeking.(If you haven't already listened, I encourage you to go back to episode 105 – The Other AI-Part 1 and then come back here to complete the session.)Today we will complete the 4D Cycle by diving deeper into the Dream, Design, and Dare phases.So, with everything set in a positive mindset, let's move into the Dream Phase.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/09/13/the-other-ai-appreciative-inquiry-part-2/Learn more about Executive and Leadership Coaching at jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

We've all heard of AI (Artificial Intelligence). But there is a different kind of AI that can have profound effects individually and professionally in our lives and in our workplaces. I'm talking about Appreciative Inquiry. “What is this”, you might be asking.Well, let me explain a bit of the background and then we'll explore how to use AI as a shortcut into a more appreciative work and life existence.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/08/21/ai-is-the-cure-for-the-pain-of-change-management/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching at jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenos

Have you ever wondered what a life coach, an executive coach, or a leadership coach does? Do they consult, mentor, train, guide, counsel, cheer? What is it that coaches actually do?Well, different coaches do different things and some of those I've just listed. You may have also heard that coaches don't have any of the answers, but they do have all the right questions.Yeah, it's kinda hard to imagine paying someone to just sit there and listen and every few minutes ask an “empowering question.” “I've got friends and family and a therapist that can do all that for me, Mr. Shortcut Man.” I hear you, you do.The problem is friends and family don't sit quietly and listen. They want to give you advice and tell you it'll be alright. And your therapist wants to know where this is all coming from, and they'll have you looking all the way back into your twisted and tormented childhood.Ok, we're not all coming from a twisted and tormented childhood. But some of us are, and those folks really could seek the help of a good therapist.Coaches on the other hand? We're more like travel agents. Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/07/14/summer-travel-plans-hire-a-coach/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching at jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

In the last episode, we talked about the history of automation, computing, and artificial intelligence. We've come a long way from Hephaestus and Pygmalion. And we've seen computers get the upper hand when it comes to games like chess and Jeopardy.But what comes next, and how do we cope with change in the age of disruption?The great news is you can be a part of this disruption. In fact, you should make it a point to purposefully be a part of the disruption. Your future as an entrepreneur, a leader, or business owner may depend on it.Not trying to be all doom and gloom, but seriously, you need to get on board the AI Train.If you're new to all this, I'm going to give you a couple of shortcuts to make the transition to AI and ChatGPT more understandable.

The robots are coming! The robots are coming!People have been saying this for decades. And while the robots have slowly been taking over our workplace, our kitchens, and even our parenting duties to some degree, nothing will be more transformative over the next five to ten years as AI and ChatGPT.You've probably heard or read a fair amount about AI and ChatGPT over the past couple of years and certainly in the last few months.For those who are uninitiated, let me give you a thumbnail sketch.AI is the abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence which is a branch of computer science that focuses on creating intelligent machines that can work and think like humans.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/05/24/robots-are-just-tools-part-1/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching at jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoaching #podcasthttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

You can only steer a moving vehicle. Wait, what? Yeah, that's right. You can only steer a vehicle that is actually moving. That's just science. Basically, according to Newton's Laws of Motion, an object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.Guess what you are in that equation. Yeah, you're the unbalanced force.If you're still a bit confused (or you prefer a tangible example), imagine you're in your car stopped at a red light and you want to move into the lane next to you? You turn the wheel, but the car doesn't go where you want it to, right?That's because you're not in motion. Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/04/07/breaking-the-laws-of-stuckness/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching at jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Have you ever felt like you weren't qualified to do your job? Like you're not really sure you're cut out to do the work and someone else who's smarter could be doing a lot better right now? Or if you're honest with yourself, you're pretty sure you just got lucky in the interview? And you know, you just know that someday soon, your boss will realize they've made a big mistake because you are way in over your head and have no idea what you're doing? Well, congratulations!

Pack up all your troubles because today is moving day!It's time to move from your current state of being to the one you've been hoping for, and maybe even dreaming about. Maybe you're wallowing around in the wasted space of lethargy. Maybe you're enduring the massive burden of overwhelm trying to balance the demands at work and at home. Or maybe you're stuck in the gripping fear of moving into the challenging and uncomfortable space of that new business venture you've been contemplating for months.Whatever your worry, trouble, fear, or apprehension, today is the day you rid yourself of those unhelpful, limiting, even debilitating thoughts and feelings.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/01/22/its-moving-day/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Some things just come naturally. And they can be done with a single action. Throwing a ball, kicking a ball, cooking an egg, reading a book, delivering a speech, delegating a task, or giving feedback.Ok, maybe all of those don't come naturally. But they can all be done with a single action. Other skills take time to develop and hone, like throwing a strike, scoring a goal, making an omelet, writing a book, or motivating someone to positive action.And then there are behaviors or qualities that require consistent, continuous actions that lead to greater success. Being a pro athlete, being a chef, keynoting a conference, or being a respected leader.Each of these can withstand miscalculations, missteps, and even mistakes, because these things happen. And when they do, we stop, review, and then get back in the saddle and make things right.But there is one quality that is much more vulnerable to miscalculations and mistakes.

Goals, goals, goals. (Cue the Motley Crue nightclub anthem.)As humans, we tend to seek adventure and improvement. And in that, we continuously strive for the next level of achievement to attain our next goal.We set goals, our bosses set goals, the worlds of measurement and quality demand that we set goals. Heck, if we're not setting and achieving goals, people consider us slackers and unsuccessful. But is achievement of goals really the best way to measure our success?...Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2023/01/02/a-better-way-to-goal-achievement/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

Last time we unlocked the secrets of gratitude. And though many interesting ideas and research came up, I think I might have left you on a little bit of a cliffhanger. Typically, I present some actions or behaviors on how you can execute the ideas presented, and I didn't do that, so I feel like I own you one. Today we explore some of the ways to “do” gratitude.But before we get into it, if you haven't already listened to the previous episode Beyond Gratitude, then I encourage you to do so. It will give you a good grounding for what we uncover today.Alright. Are you ready? Let's get started! Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/11/23/how-to-do-gratitude/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

It's November and here in the US, that means Thanksgiving. A time when we give thanks for all that we have and all who we know and love. It's a time of gathering of family, sharing of food, and recollecting upon all we have to be grateful for.Full transcript can be found here:https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/11/19/beyond-gratitude/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://youtube.com/@coachjimmyglenoshttps://linktr.ee/jglenos

You've probably heard of the 5 Whys Method. It's the exercise that has you ask 5 “Why” questions to help you get to the root cause of a problem. We typically use this method of questioning for troubleshooting issues, quality improvement, or process analysis. It goes something like this: We are behind schedule with updating the training program again this week. Why?Because we don't have time to make the updates to the training program. Why?Because it takes a long time for us to enter the HR data into the spreadsheets. Why?Because each week, some of the data is either missing or incorrect. Why?Because it is prone to human error because the entire process is manual entry from paper forms. Why?Because we don't have an integrated software system between the HR and Training Departments.Now, looking at purchasing an integrated software system may seem like an obvious solution to an ongoing problem, but oftentimes we simply try to bandage the symptom (in this case, not enough time to perform a task).Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/11/07/youd-better-whys-up/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jglenos

By now, you've probably heard the term “quiet quitting.” It also goes by the possibly more accurate and certainly more comical term “acting your wage.” Though these terms are new, the idea is not. We've gone through decades and decades of people doing their jobs. Nothing more, nothing less…just doing the job they were hired and get paid to do.And we, as leaders, should be grateful for that, not disappointed in their behavior. After all, we lured them in with a specific job description, we carefully interviewed them and they told us that they could perform those duties, and then we decided to allow them to take that job. And in exchange we would pay them to complete the tasks outlined on that same job description. Seems like a fair deal. So why are we suddenly surprised when people are not going above and beyond, not going the extra mile, not seeking more responsibility, not working longer hours, and not putting in 110%? Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/10/14/dealing-with-quiet-quitting/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jglenos

We've all had them. Dark, dank, depressing cloudy days. And they always seem to come at the worst possible time. You wake up late, you have to skip breakfast, you run into heavy traffic, aaand you're late for your important meeting. Ugh. Why does it all happen at once?Let's face it, no matter how wonderful life is, we all have days that aren't sunshine and unicorns. In our last episode we looked at the first two parts of executing a Blue-Sky Paradigm – Determining what the particular cloud is and then moving to gain a new perspective.Today we look at the remaining three practices of the Blue-Sky Paradigm. Let's get started.Make it RAIN. Sometimes your thoughts, feelings, and mood can be especially challenging to deal with. And when it's more than you can bear, you might want to pour down a heavy rain of judgment on your problems to drown them out. But how can we do that productively?

You wake up late, you have to skip breakfast, you run into heavy traffic, aaand you're late for your important meeting. Ugh. Why does it all happen at once?Let's face it, no matter how wonderful life is, we all have days that aren't sunshine and unicorns.And that's fine, because if all of our days were filled to the rim with awesome, amazing, and out of this world experiences, we wouldn't be able to truly appreciate all that we have. So, a cloudy day here and there really isn't all that bad, and with practice we can learn to welcome those days and embrace what comes.Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/08/03/unlocking-clear-skies-on-cloudy-days/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching #executivecoachinghttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jimmyglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

You know that feeling that comes with completion of a task or a project? Yeah, that rush of competence and confidence. Feels good, right?We all love it and yet we don't really get enough of it either, do we?All too often, we feel listless, lethargic, or let down. Mostly because we are the ones letting us down.Well, guess what, dear listener? I've got a shortcut that can help you get started, keep going, and get stuff done.

We are up against some pretty strong forces here, so we are going to need a powerful counterattack. Are you ready? I've got the keys. C'mon, let's unlock the shortcut.Positivity is the practice of being, or tendency to be, positive or optimistic in thoughts, attitude, and actions. It is also being calm and composed, finding peace and passion, and generating energy and enthusiasm.This sounds like a beautiful way to live and sometimes we can actually find ourselves in this blissful state. But usually, it doesn't last as long as we'd like. Why? Because we are surrounded by a lot of negativity in our everyday lives. Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/04/28/unlocking-positivity-in-a-negative-world/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jimmyglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

Hello and welcome to Unlock the Shortcut. I'm Jimmy Glenos, the Life & Leadership Locksmith. Today we are going to unlock how to find that elusive pot of gold. We all know the story of a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It's a fun tale, but do we ever actually find it? And is there a shortcut? I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get started. Let's Unlock the Shortcut!As leaders, we all know we have to set goals to get where we want to go. Even if we don't know where that is yet, we need to create a vision of where we want to be and how we are going to get there.And if you've been keeping up with the leadership and management tools and guides, you also know that to be successful you need to set SMART goals.SMART goals are a great way to be sure we create goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.Without a vision of what you want to accomplish at the end of all your hard work, it's hard to get motivated to start anything at all. SMART goals set you off on the right path.But what do we do about all the days in between the starting point and the finish line?How do we keep motivated each step along the way? Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/03/29/unlock-the-elusive-pot-of-gold/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #mentalfitnesscoaching  https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/jglenos/https://twitter.com/jimmyglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

Change. Sounds painful, right?What about growth? Does that sound painful?Well, to some of us, growth does sound painful. In fact, you've likely heard the phrase, “growing pains.”Funny thing is, we never use the term “changing pains” which would be much more appropriate, since most us hate the idea of change. And we really dislike having to go through the stages of change. So, if all growth is, in essence, change, and we are ok with the term “growing pains”, let's just replace the word “change” with “growth” and everything should be fine and dandy, right?Well, sure! But it's not that easy, is it?What we need is a shortcut. ....Full transcript can be found here: https://jimmyglenos.com/2022/03/01/changing-pains/Learn more about Leadership and Mental Fitness Performance Coaching: jimmyglenos.com#jimmyglenos #jglenos #unlocktheshortcut #leadnsucceed #leadershipcoaching #performancecoaching   https://linktr.ee/jimmyglenos

Happiness is one of those things we all need, we all seek, and yet sometimes (oftentimes) we struggle to find it. We search and search and search. We look in all the right places.

Often, we feel so rushed, so anxious, so busy we forget to look up and see how good life really is. We take for granted all the skills and talents we possess.We take for granted all of the people who help us each day achieve what we would not otherwise.We take for granted those who supported us when things looked hopeless or so far away.We even take for granted all the world provides including sunlight, warmth, water, food, shelter, and so much more.Full transcript can be found here: https://jglenos.com/2021/11/24/giving-thanks-and-showing-appreciation/Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com and leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching   Jimmy GlenosWork/Life Performance CoachLEAD+SUCCEED Podcastjglenos.comjimmy@jglenos.com

You're getting ready to close business for the day and you're feeling a little sluggish. You're not terribly tired, but you are feeling like you could have brought a little more something to your staff, your meetings, your customers.You didn't lose any sales or make anyone cry today but you can't quite put your finger on what it was that was missing to make it a more meaningful and satisfying day.Was it the two donuts for breakfast? Was it the not-so-healthy lunch you scarfed down at your desk like a hunchbacked ogre?

You're finishing up a presentation and you feel like you could have done better. Sure, things went pretty well. You didn't pass out or throw up at the front of the room, but you know it wasn't your best work.So afterwards, you ask a couple of colleagues for some feedback. Of course, they regale you with praise and congratulations on what a great job you did. Not exactly what you were looking for, so you ask again. “Come on guys, give me some feedback on what I could have done better.”Now they may say things like “No, really you did great!” or “I think everyone really enjoyed your presentation.” Why is it so hard to get good feedback? Well, let's be honest.

You're in a meeting with your team and you're delivering some news that will likely not be well received. You're not going to be able to have the annual company dinner party this year because the current budget cannot cover the costs. After the groans and eye rolls begin to subside, you go on to deliver even more bad news. Needless to say, the meeting does not elicit any positive or motivating vibes…at all.But this meeting did not have to be all doom and gloom. There could have been a silver lining, a glimmer of hope, an opportunity to learn, to grow, and possibly even transform.But how?Full transcript can be found here: https://jglenos.com/2021/10/26/we-can-do-this-if/Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com and leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching   Jimmy GlenosExecutive Coach/Performance CoachLEAD+SUCCEED Podcastjglenos.comjimmy@jglenos.com954.415.3168https://www.linkedin.com/in/jglenos/https://www.facebook.com/leadandsucceed/https://twitter.com/jglenoshttps://www.instagram.com/jimmyglenos/

You're at a conference. (Ok, let's pretend you're at a conference because no one is doing these right now.) So anyway, you're at a conference and you meet someone you really enjoy talking with and you want to be cordial and supportive. You know that connecting people and showing value is a great way to build relationships. So you decide to connect your new friend with an old one who is a perfect connection for them and can help in a big way.You're all excited about making this connection and you vow to your new friend that you will make that connection tomorrow afternoon over LinkedIn.  But then you go to look up your old friend and you discover that they are no longer in the same industry, job, or even country since you last spoke with them. In fact, it looks like they would not be a good connection for your new friend. Dang, what to do now?Full transcript can be found here:  https://jglenos.com/2021/10/19/the-layers-of-connecting/ Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com and leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching   Jimmy GlenosExecutive Coach/Performance Coachjglenos.comjimmy@jglenos.com

You're watching a video of a vendor pitching their latest product, but the audio is about a half second behind the video. You're slightly put off by the misalignment, but you can handle it. It's kind of like watching a poorly dubbed kung fu movie from the 70s, but not nearly as entertaining. But as it continues, it becomes super annoying to watch and listen to because the timing is so far off, and quite frankly, you're losing interest in what they are selling. After about 53 seconds you decide to turn it off and do something else.

It's fourth and long with just two and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter. You have the ball on the fifty-yard line and you are behind by three points. What do you do?Not an easy decision. But think about what got you here. Which players were instrumental in bringing you this close to victory? Which players will get you in the win column? And do they play offense or defense? Or do they play on special teams?No matter how you break it down, all players and teams are critical to success in winning a football game.Full transcript can be found here: https://jglenos.com/2021/09/09/business-plays-offense-defense-and-special-teams/ Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com and leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching   

You're walking through the halls of your workplace offices, as you do every day, and you see that people are quietly keeping at their work and looking rather productive. You turn the corner and find two employees in a conversation, and as you get closer you realize they are actually in a bit of a heated discussion. You don't want to pry, so you turn around and head back to your office.Let's face it, confrontation is not your strong suit, and you really aren't in the mood right now to settle a workplace dispute. Plus, these are adults. They can figure it out, right?But why are they arguing in the first place? You're a good, strong leader. You should have seen this coming. What happened? Do you need to be stricter with policy? Do you need to get in and manage more acutely? Or have you not been paying enough attention to your people and the company as a whole?It could be all of these things, or it could be none of them. But one thing's for sure. You need to get a better grasp of what is going on in and around your people because your and their success depends on it.Full transcript can be found here:https://jglenos.com/2021/08/31/welcome-to-the-dance/Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com or leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching   

You're anxiously anticipating getting everyone back in the office. Human Resources is about to send out the email communication dictating how people will be coming back to the workplace. You've read the communication and you've talked with a few of your peers. Everyone is on board, but you also sense your remote workforce is less than eager to get back in the office.So what are you going to do to create a sense of trust, belonging, and safety? More importantly, how are you going to convince your team they need to get back into the old routine of coming into the office each day?Change is hard, and as leaders, we all need to deal with change before our teams do. We need to understand the four stages that people go through and how to handle each stage effectively and empathically.So what are the four stages of change? Let's consider change like it's a four-room apartment.Contentment, Denial, Confusion, and Renewal.Full transcript can be found here:https://jglenos.com/2021/08/17/change-is-a-four-room-apartment/Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com or leadnsucceed.com#jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching   

You've asked one of your direct reports to see you in your office. It's about a recent mistake they've made and you want to provide some feedback and maybe a little coaching. They enter the room sheepishly and slump down in the chair opposite your desk.You don't want to beat around the bush, so you ask, “What the heck happened with the Smith account?”They remain quiet and then softly reply, “I thought it was the right thing to do.”You are getting a little hotter now and shoot back, “Why would you think that is the right thing to do?”If you've been on either side of this conversation, you are not alone. We all have been either the give or receiver of what some people call “feedback”.Obviously, these are just the opening lines of a more crucial feedback conversation, but notice how this all started?It began with an accusatory question and continued in that same fashion.You can imagine this conversation did not get much better after this opening gambit.So what happened? And how can we do better when we seek answers and want to provide good feedback and coaching?Full transcript can be found here: https://jglenos.com/2021/08/03/the-words-we-use-say-a-lot/Learn more about Executive Coaching: jglenos.com or leadnsucceed.comSee most recent posts: #jglenos #leadnsucceed #executivecoaching #performancecoaching  

You're in a meeting with your team and you have a great idea. You share it with the group. Everyone loves your new idea. A little bit later in the meeting, you have another great idea. You share that one with the group and they like that one too. The meeting continues and you have yet another great idea and you share it with the group. They go along with this one as well, and you feel like you are on top of the world.The meeting ends and you leave energized, excited, and ready to get to work on your new ideas!But how does the rest of the team feel? Do they share your energy and excitement? Do they want to get to work on your new ideas?
