My Best Workplace

March 1 2024 is National Employee Recognition Day - lets do it right.

As 2023 comes to a close, it is a chance to sit and reflect on the journey we have taken with Fiore Group Training....this episode details that story.

Phil continues the series on authentic and empowering goals, based on Mark Murphy's HARD GOALS. This week we discuss "heartfelt" goals. How do we know where to find them, recognize them and in the end accomplish them?

Join Phil as we explore how to use Goals to propel you to your success outcome - whatever you choose that to be.

The conversation we dread and put off as long as possible, can if done correctly, yield long-term results - some that may surprise you. 

In the final episode of our Thinking Hats series, Phil discusses the need for the impassioned Red Hat Thinkers, who rely on intuition and emotion as seriously as others rely on logic.

Yellow Hat thinking is curious, optimistic, and logical. Known for their good nature and dependability, they are well-liked. Heads up - be prepared to take your time - they won't be rushed!

Every team needs people who sow seeds of the future, think forward, risk rejection, and dream with curiosity. If your team does not include and support green hat thinking, the future of your endeavors will suffer for it.

Black hat thinkers are right/wrong, black/white in their approach to work. They focus on logic, facts and often discard creativity or intuitive reasoning in problem-solving or innovative processes.  They can offend other team members while thinking they are giving to the team exactly what they would hope the team would offer them in return.

Join Phil for the next several weeks as we look at the different ways people process facts and how we can respectfully navigate working relationships when we don't agree.

Leaders are most effective when their influence is contagious and people respect who they are. This week we remind ourselves of some top leadership influence tips from 2021.

Phil Eastwood offers the most loved posts from 2021 on leadership, personal growth, career development - a mindful approach.

Cognitive Dissonance is dangerous for you and the people that you influence. Find out what it is and how to spot it in your behavior.

It's mid-January, and by all statistical reports, over 90% of us have already ditched our New Years Resolutions. No matter where you are in the process, I think we can find a way to keep moving forward. If you are sinking in to do, this podcast is for you!

As leaders, we know that fundamentally we are influencers. If people don't respect the leader, all the programs, policies, manuals, and requirements mean very little. Active listening is one sure way to increase your influence. You demonstrate and offer respect to others, who, in turn, offer theirs.

Learn how you can use word pictures to capture the ownership and commitment to respectful behaviors that reflect diversity and inclusion. Phil shares an amazing tool used in all our training.

Our daily rituals and habits determine how we live our lives. Fortunately, while we need to adjust to the demands of a changing world, how we adjust (through the disciplines we choose) can have a big impact on our happiness. Join Phil in this week's episode on practicing keystone habits in 2022.

2022 takes us into the third year of a global pandemic.  Phil shares how we need to strengthen our body, our mind, and our connections with people we care about. How can we do that with such uncertain circumstances?

Discover how you can share repetitive, even boring information in ways everyone wants to listen to. Tell a story!

Before we venture into respectful workplace behavior or how kindness transforms your work environment, first we must address indecent behaviors. Here are 5 tips for creating healthy foundations for workplace behavior and morale.

People are changing careers and leaving old work paradigms in droves. There is a consensus that you want more, but how do you get to the next level? Phil shares how the Leadership Accelerator Program helps emerging leaders develop the skills that propel you forward in life and your career. 

At Fiore Group Training we have been teaching a respectful workplace curriculum for many years. 2022 demands some big revisions. It's time to train much more extensively on the subject and to teach teams how to create a CODE OF CONDUCT that they all can buy into and become stakeholders of the outcome.

For optimal personal development, Phil recommends developing a lifestyle of learning - and books make that possible.  Whether you choose audible, paperback, PDF, hardcover, or collectors editions - the ideas inside the words are your treasures!

There are definite benefits to working from home, but the drawback can be - we are never NOT working. Let's explore some healthy ways you can create much-needed boundaries around work and your personal life and well-being.
