Relatable Leader is produced to benefit the following listener groups: 1. People employed by organizations in which they hold a leadership position, or those who have been identified as potential leaders. This is one of the main participant groups attending my face-to-face trainings. 2. People aspiring to build careers as professional trainers and who want real-life insight into what that career might look like. These people frequently reach out to me to learn how I became a trainer and the introduction episode answers that question in broad strokes. Also in this category are those already in training roles seeking support and a virtual peer group. 3. Another participant group who benefits significantly from my trainings are front line workers who are striving to reach their highest potential. They aren't wanting to take on leadership roles, but they are on board with my motto, "You don't have to be the leader to lead." This podcast will provide you with insights into the topics I'm training, the challenges my clients face, the coaching I offer to overcome those challenges, and an overall view of one trainer's career. This is no fast formula or quick step to success. If you are looking for a 3-month, 10 step program to a six-figure income, this is NOT the podcast for you, because that's not the life I'm living. This IS your behind the scenes access to coaching that supports your success in a leadership position.

    Training is expensive. When we take time to train employees who then quit, it gets VERY expensive. Many employees quit because they don't excel quickly enough to feel valued by their supervisors and managers. Or, they don't feel engaged because without being given higher levels of work, "busy" work is shoved on them. This situation can lead to less engagement and productivity. Imagine this: what if, on their first day on the job, new hires felt as if they were learning quickly and contributing right away? How do you think that would make them feel? How do you think that would make their supervisors and trainers feel? Listen to this inspiring episode with Shawn Volland and start to envision how hiring him might help you sustain high performing employees while bringing new hires "up to speed" more quickly than ever before.

Even though we have the weekend to, in theory, take a break, many of us don't take a break because that's the time to hurry up and accomplish all the things we didn't have time to take care of during the week. If you have kids who aren't old enough to take public transportation or drive on their own, you might be running them around. You might be facing weekend crowds to take care of errands. You might be hiding out in the garage or sneaking in some video games before you are faced with the "honey do" list.

    This episode: songs and tips dedicated to people directly impacted by The Camp Fire. Anyone who has gone through significant loss knows how stress and grief can impact your thinking and ability to concentrate. In Butte County and the surrounding areas, the impact of 30-50 thousand people in shock and on the move continues to be difficult to comprehend. Those of you in other parts of the country and around the world who have lived through disasters know better than we do how long true recovery can take.  In my work as an employee trainer, I have seen the impact of The Camp Fire on many organizations and the people who work there. The people directly impacted by the fire and their coworkers continue to find their way, forced to make big adjustments. Our health care facilities are still overloaded, retraining programs for those who are now unemployed are struggling to keep up with demand, and many are still in limbo, unsure of what the future will look like.  I put together some tips for dealing with these crazy times and training participants were so appreciative, I wanted to do something to get the information out to more people. That led me to being the guest DJ on Terre Reynolds' show, Face the Music, on KZFR. In this episode I share coping tips and songs I hope will help, or at least be enjoyable, for anyone struggling with stress and grief as they move forward in their lives.  Thank you for listening and subscribing to The Relatable Leader Podcast. #relatableleader #catherinegoggia You can purchase Catherine Goggia's book, "LIVE IT!

    Defining specific criteria by which to measure the validity and potential profitability of your ideas is key to wise decision making. The criteria ensures we aren't playing favorites when investing in ideas, or leaning toward our personal preferences instead of what might be healthiest for the organization. After reading, "Let My People Go Surfing," by Patagonia founder and owner, Yvone Chouinard, I immediately modified the question set I use for the organization I consult with. In this episode I highlight questions from their production philosophy, offering brief input from me, and suggesting how the questions might be modified for services.

    EP167 What are you saying to other genders and departments?

    Talk to win at work by listening to this episode and considering how your word choice might be influencing collaboration between genders and departments. Highlighted is the vocabulary chapter in Gail Evans' book, "Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman". I encourage you to think beyond gender, and pay attention to how people in different roles respond differently to certain words and phrases. What one person considers to be a neutral or factual word, might negatively trigger someone in a different department because they might interpret the word from a different perspective. How might our relationships improve if we better understand negative triggers for other people, and agree to common use of terms within our organizations?  #relatableleader #catherinegoggia #gailevans  Get Catherine Goggia's books on amazon: *CLICK* HERE - Get Your Books

Grouping your training content into the mechanics of a task and the interpersonal competencies to succeed in the work is useful when organizing your training content. Using a sports model can make your training relevant to individual employees in an interesting way. Plus, this training approach might make training employees more fun for YOU!
