Speaking of Impact

They say the first step is the hardest. The second ain't that easy either. But it's totally worth it and that's exactly what I'm talking about today. My “ACE” process has three steps and you can't get to three without the two. Last week, you learned about taking action to learn about your people. Now, we have to cover the strategy I told you to forget about

There is one thing that every culture builder should start with. It's ‘bout that action. Simple as that. Generosity is something we're all built with. No need to strategize and over think. You learn best from doing and why not do what's natural? This episode is all about the 1st step in my “ACE” process to building a generous workplace culture. I'll share with you why its important and how to implement it to make your company take off. Have a generous rest of the week.

It's not imposter syndrome unless you've done it before. Yeah, I said that right. If you just aren't ready to do something, you're just a beginner. That's okay. Everyone starts at some point. If you have done it before and you think you can't, then it's imposter syndrome. Either way, I have some key thoughts today of how to handle your situation. The best don't try to avoid the challenges. They lean in whether it's familiar or not. Have a generous rest of the week.

People are quitting jobs like crazy these days. I support the people who are in “net-negative” situations - the ones that take away from their life despite giving some basic things like a paycheck. I also support those who don't feel aligned with the mission of the company. But what about everyone else? There are plenty of these and companies and leaders could do a better job of building the right culture for their enjoyment. I have 6 things that stick out to me as key reasons why people quit (and they don't have exist). You'll want to recognize these things and eliminate them from your culture. Have a generous rest of the week.

Remote work is meh if your environment stinks. I support the work from home model if it's done well. Sadly, it's not always done well. Many companies are offering this as a perk these days - not sure how I feel about that. I'm cool with that benefit but it doesn't seem to be a priority if it's just an add on. Work from home should be foundational part of your culture if it exists. There has to be great intention and communication to do it well. This episode is about the things to avoid in the remote work environment and things to enjoy related to it. Have a poised rest of the week.

There's nothing more important than this one thing when stuff goes wrong. Poise is a skill. It can be trained. But can it be found? In other words, can you identify people who are poised without actually seeing them display it? In short: no. But there are certain things you can do to understand more about their demeanor. There are questions you can ask and clues to look for when evaluating and interviewing people. You want people who embrace challenges, disprove of perfections, and are willing to sit in tough times. The best scenario for a team is people who are calm under pressure. This could change your business. Have a poised rest of the week.

Toxic cultures are habitual. There are a lot of internet complaints about toxic bosses. It's good that toxic culture are called out but it's not because of bad peope. Most of the “toxic” bosses are good people with toxic habits. These are the things that form over time as a result of repeated small issues. It's easy to get caught up in a culture when people just expect things to be that way. It leads to plenty of miscommunication, unhealthy practices, and ultimately, burnout. It's important regardless of your role in an organization that you identify toxic habits before they fully form. We'll all have toxic moments in our lives where we make mistakes or the people around us do things we don't like. But it's the habits that count. Generous workplace culture is built by creating healthy habits but also an intentional dismissal of the toxic habits. Less is more. This episode will breakdown 8 of the most prominent toxic habits to identify an eliminate. Have a generous rest of the week.

The best cultures are built by prioritizing routines. The first thing you think about when you start your workday should not be how you can pair down your to-do list. A lot of us show up for work stressed out by the sheer thought of having a lot of things to do. There's nothing wrong with having a lot to do (unless it's a result of laziness) but how you handle this is key. People say they want to be high performers and so they pile on a bunch of expectations. Bad idea. Generous workplace culture is build by ambitious yet helpful people. There's a specific mindset and type of routine you need in order to build healthy and productive culture. This episode covers it in depth. Have a routine rest of the week.

There's a major trap that we can all avoid. It's something none of us do naturally. In fact, most of us operate with the complete opposite in mind, until we feel like our career becomes survival. Some people will tell you that you have to take care of yourself above all else and I disagree. I believe you have to take care of yourself along with others. If you only ever take care of yourself. You're losing out on many opportunities and self-care becomes your monarch. Care for yourself so you can be your best. This episode addresses the number one thing that limits people in their career. Have a selfless rest of the week.

Generosity has some great emotions. And humans are emotional beings. The way you use yours can dictate the health of your work experience. No one wants to be overwhelmed by their emotions and it's also not good to suppress them completely. So how you do you handle them well on the job? You identify the good ones and lean in. I have some thoughts to share with you about how powerful certain emotions can be for building a healthy work experience, and of course, generous culture. Have an emotionally generous rest of your week.

Confidence is great. Arrogance sucks. I've never found two things so different yet so miscast as each other so often. We can all agree that confidence is an important thing to have in business. It's what makes you believe that things can get and done and that you'll make a positive impact on the world. Arrogance is that thing that turns people off even to the most confident. In fact, in can take down a even the strongest pillars of belief. I urge you to focus on doing things that build confidence and not arrogance in people. The environment that you create matters. Have a generous rest of your week.

Employee turnover sucks. But it doesn't have to…in fact, it doesn't even have to be a thing. I like to think of it as opportunities for all parties. When someone leaves: That person gets a chance to be in a different and better position. A new person gets a chance in the vacant role. The company gets a new perspective. I'm not saying there aren't some bad things but I am saying that it can be good. Either way, you don't want a lot of people leaving and new people coming in faster than they can be trainined. This is why a generous workplace culture is so valuable. It will retain great people and attract them if needed. This episode will address the reasons (the real ones) people leave your company. Have a generous rest of your week.

There's nothing like family - good or bad. Families can have the best of time and the worst of times because they are groups of people who are highly invested in each other. We are a lot about our family. You also care a lot about your work - hopefully, not more than your family but still. It's a big part of life. So, how is this to be handled? A lot of sources these days will say it's toxic to refer to work people as “family”. I tend to agree. However, it's good to treat people like family. Bad bosses will expect you to bend over backwards for the company because that is what family does. You shouldn't have to sacrifice your wellbeing for the “family”. But what if leaders thought more about their work family like most people think of their real family? Think about supporting people as healthy people first and they'll be sure to give a healthy amount of effort to your company. It will attract and retain top talent.

The money is nice but it won't give them want they want. I've worked closely with money for 15 years. It's hard to believe I studies broadcasting two decades ago. I hope it makes me a better podcaster but what about financial planner? Here me out… I can count on one hand the amount of people (out of thousands I worked with) who's final goal was a number in their bank account. 99.9% people had another desire in their life. This tells me how important it is to help people find fulfillment in their work - more important that financial riches. The money is table stakes. Pay people what they are worth - but after that, there's a lot of work to do to build a generous culture of which people want to be a part. Have a generous rest of your week.

Turnover can be good. It can also be bad. You have to be careful how to initiate, prevent, and handle it. I find that the best companies do all of these well. There are a lot of things you can do to affect change in your organization so it's best to focus on individual situations. This episode is about when and where to push and pull. Ask yourself the question, “Who does this turnover benefit and who does it hurt?”, before making any decisions. Turnovers in sports are bad for one team and good for the other. It can be the same way for different people on your team. Have a generous rest of your week.

Negotiations can be generous - for real. I'm not saying it's easy but they can be. The more there are the better. There are a lot of things in life and business that you'll have to negotiate. You know that pit in your stomach you feel when you have to negotiate, even argue, about something? It's a lousy feeling but it can be avoided with the right concentration. I think about 7 things every time I go into a negotiation. They are all “P” words. This episode covers each of these things and will teach you how to focus on them to be a better negotiator. This is not tips, tricks, and hacks of how to win your negotiations. It's to help you generate better outcomes for you and those you negotiate with in your work. Have a generous rest of your week.

Yes, this episode is about “no”. This is one of the first words we all learn. It serves so many different purposes when all you can do is indicate what you want and don't want. Things change as you mature, though. “No” begins to have more specific applications. It can indicate, interest, capability, desire, understanding, and many more things. It means a lot in work place culture. If you're trying to build a generous workplace culture, you have to understand how the word “no” can do so many things for your role and those around you. Using it well can keep things respectful, relatable, real, and organized. Use it wrong and things can get negative pretty quick. I try to make “no” a consistent part of work these days. I think you'll understand why after listening to the episode. Have a generous rest of your week.

Everyone can affect culture. I'm not saying that every can make culture or build it on their own. But everyone can make a difference. In fact, I encourage everyone to try to. The strongest cultures are led by all. Leadership or certain individuals can set a tone but the more than contribute the better. Sometimes, the best experiences come when someone who is not a leader in title displays some excellent cultural leadership in their given role. I learned this pretty early in my business career and have always felt it it's important to encourage those who may not feel capable of contributing. This episode is an encouragement to you, no matter your role, job, or career path. You can do great things for your teammates. Have a generous rest of your week.

When you treat people well matters the most. I'm consistently surprised how companies only celebrate people when they're at their best. What kind of message does that send? “We only like you when you to something extraordinary.” I don't think that's the idea you want you're people to get. You want them to feel more valuable. They should feel good about their work even if it's a rough day. They should feel safe taking a day off if something is not right at home. Some companies have an “unlimited time off” policy. That's great but do people feel ok actaully taking it? Focus on appreciating people in all scenarios. I have some help for you to do this. Have a great rest of your week.

Work isn't always enjoyable but it can be better. I know a lot of workplaces can be a drag. You dread Monday morning and look forward to Friday afternoon like nothing else. It's not healthy. Work can and should enjoyable overall. I don't mean every moment but it has to be a net positive or else it will never last. Productivity will wane and fulfillment will never come. The best organizations make work enjoyable and fulfilling. People do more than stick around - they stay with intention and attract other people. This is the environment you want. I have 11 things for you to help make your workplace more enjoyable for all. Have an enjoyable rest of your week.

Your mission, vision, and values should be generous. These three things are critical tools for a business. I can't minimize whatsoever but I would like to stress the importance that generosity has on them. If you want to build great culture you should start as early as possible. Generosity is a key point to include in these items that lead a company. You're “why”, “what”, and “how” will go a long what if they have undertones of giving. This episode highlights some reasons why the big three are important but it stresses the importance of the big one. Listen in for insights on how to incorporate generosity in the drivers of your company. Have a generous rest of your week.

Generosity is a mindset - not an event. A generous workplace culture is a hard thing to build. I won't sugar coat. Great leaders have to work hard at fostering the right environment. What's easy usually builds the wrong environment. And speaking of easy, I could give you a bunch of red flags of what is a toxic leader or workplace culture. Instead, I thought I'd present some green flags - positive things. You'll love these things in a leader and if you are one yourself, try to implement them into your processes. Have a generous week.

Some things are absolutely non-negotiable. Today, I have the 5 that lead the list. Some of these are talked about all the time and I fear you're being taught they are special. To me, they are table stakes. They must be present in workplace culture for it be generous. You'll want to focus on the foundations before you try the advanced versions of anything. It takes time to build culture and you have to start with kindness, communication, authenticity, grace, and compassion. Thanks for being a generous person. I'm sure your generous culture is well on its way to thriving. Have a generous New Year.

2024 was a wild ride. 2025 will be even better. Generosity is on the move.

Stop trying to be happy. Joy is so much more important. A state of joy is such a powerful thing because it is sustainable. I am a fan of happiness - just not as pursuit. You can't expect to happy all the time so you are setting yourself up for failure and an unfulfilling pursuit. The holiday season is known for being filled with joy but there is one thing I don't like about this - these things don't have to be saved for a one time during the year. You can celebrate and be joyful all year long. I find that the more often you are in a state of joy the more chances you have to experience happiness. You are acutely aware of things that will make you happy. You also tend to make other people happy, which in turn, makes you happy. It's a great loop to be. I thought I'd share some “holiday” joys that really don't have to be saved for only December. Have a joyous and generous holiday season.

Generosity is necessary for team success. I like to think of it as the foundation of a terrific culture because it's so encouraging to people. Anyone can jump on board and feel like they are important - contributing factor to the productivity and the encouragement. There's nothing more encouraging than encouraging someone, right? This episode is about the most important reasons why a generous team is a winning team. I think you can have some periodic success without winning but the definition will likely be warped and it will be fleeting. Sustained success is about everyone's workplace experience. Don't let me define it for you but this is at least a good measure. Rarely is a team filled with fulfilled people and be not effective at it's mission. Keep these concepts in mind as you build your generous workplace culture and let your team know about it. Have a generous day with your team.

Empathy is way more than knowing what someone is going through. It's about sharing the emotions they are feeling. An empathetic leaders goes out of their way to feel what their people are feeling. Are you sympathetic with your people? Great. Empathy is more. I thought I'd share a few things that can help you be more empathetic. They build on relationships and taking simple understanding to shared feeling. Use them early and often in your work. It's critical part of a generous workplace culture. Have a generously energetic day.

Instead of trying to find more energy, try making the most of what you already have. Energy is one of those things that can feel great one minute and be elusive the next. I find the most energetic people to not have more than the rest but to do a better job with what they have. This time of year can be overwhelming for many. There is more work to do as the year comes to an end and there are events, parties, and other things that take up time. It's really important to manage your energy to get the most out of the most wonderful time. I have 7 energy management techniques I've found to be really helpful for generous leaders and their generous workplace cultures. Have a generously energetic day.

Great quotes can't motivate you alone but they can be a great reminder of your purpose. I'm a big fan of taking in the wisdom of others and applying it to your purpose. This means you have to put the work in to develop why you do what you do. If you can find that internal source of motivation (it's more sustaining), the relevant external forces will be much more apparent. In other words, when we know our own “why”, we can easily identify that of others which we appreciate. This episode is has 8 quotes that display this for me. I encourage you to think strongly about your own purpose and perhaps these quotes will also be great reminders for your. Generosity is tough - we need all the support we can get.

Generosity ain't easy but it's great for business. People ask me how to be generous a lot - I say “like an subscribe”

The best teacher in the world is generosity. You might think that giving is a passive and one-sided experience but when you have the mindset it can be quite the opposite. Some of the greatest business lessons I've learned have come from observing generosity and experiencing it's power. People pleasing can mask itself as generosity. This leads to complacency, taking advantage of others, and overall malaise. Be careful giving people what they want and not what they need. Assuming it's true generosity. You'll have plenty of chances to learn how it can transform lives and businesses for good. I have 3 main lessons I've learned over the years and I share them in this episode. This is not to say there aren't other lessons or that these 3 are the most important to you. But either way, you'll find value in what a generous culture will tell you about people. And business is all about people, right? Take some concise notes on this one (this comes up in the episode

There are no shortcuts to productivity. You have to put in the work. Seems easy, right? The problem is the work isn't always easy to determine. It's hard to figure out what to do when there are a million sources trying to give you the easy way. It's best to recognize the myths and avoid them. ⚠ Don't waste your time. Focus on your own definition of success. Take action and learn along the way. The list of myths is robust as the day is long. Here are 26 to get you started. Have a generously productive day.

Start by giving more than taking but don't stop there. There are all kinds of leadership. There are different prescribed styles - endless books and even more opinions. I think most are a positive influence but nothing is more important than being generous. In fact, I think being generous alone, makes you a leader. It's important to think about the things that make you generous more than the things that make you leader. Perhaps the title to thig episode is off. Maybe it should be “How to be Generous…so that You'll Become a Leader”. Either way, I the mindset is critical. The actions come. I have 4 important ways to act that will be key for acting as a generous leader - which will build a generous workplace culture. *And there's also a bonus! It's not #5

You have to be accurate and reliable to be authentic. I don't know any leaders that would disagree with that but why does it seem so hard to be those things? It's because we are very distracted by the world. Our greatest focus will produce our greatest results. If you're trying to build a generous culture in your life and your workplace, you have to spend the time on these things. Great leaders will radically chase after generosity. They will give when others expect them to take - and it's not fake (nice rhyme, huh?

Personal growth is interpersonal. There is a lot of advice out there about taking care of yourself. The self-help industry is booming. See episode 88 with Robert Riopel. It's too easy for stuff to become “shelf-help”. Personal growth is an incredible collaborative process. You must commit to it but you can't do it alone. This episode provides 8 non-traditional habits that will help maximize your growth. Focus on building just one of them and you're guaranteed to get in the virtuous cycle of them all. Enjoy the growth.

People work better when they work together. A rock star employee (or leader) is nothing without a rockstar team. Generous workplace cultures can be full of talented individuals but the team is way better than the sum of it's parts. A great culture attracts great people because they feel a collaborative and fulfilling environment. Leaders and team members alike each are a contributing part to the greater mission. There are certain techniques you can use to foster the right environment and encourage people to use their gifts and skills to contribute to the greater good. I have 6 for you to implement in your business. Have a collaborative day with your people.

Generous workplace cultures are never built by chance. There must be intentional pieces to foster the proper environment. I have 8 I normally concentrate on and speak about. This doesn't mean there are only 8. In fact, I encourage you to come up with your own but these will be a good start regardless of your industry and unique position. The focus is always on people and making sure they have everything they need (tangible and intangible) for two things: Feeling highly capable in contributing to your company's mission To do their work. Give people what they need and they'll do what it takes to help themselves and their colleagues. Note that each of the things on the list also applies to bosses, managers, leaders, and executives. None of these things escapes anyone in a company. It's a full group effort. Have a generous day with your people.

The way you ask questions matters. We all have our list of cliché pleasantries. My favorite is, “What's up?”. Do I really care what is up? I like to think so but it's not always the case. Generous workplace culture is full of people who really care about the well-being of others. They want to know how they can be helpful. I have 3 questions that are generous twist on some more typical ones that are used in the workplace. Great leaders will make people feel like they really care. And you do really care, right? I believe you do and that you'll have generous day.

You can't fake it ‘til you make it. Generosity, by definition, requires sincerity. In some ways, this makes it easy to recognize generosity (at least internally). You know when you're “in it”. There are some terms that are popular out there that while they can be great things, they can also be not so great if done for the wrong reasons. I'm covering 5 “imposters” of generosity in this episode. You might first think I'm crazy when you see how positive they can be. But that's the thing. A lot of people don't do these with truly selfless intentions. Generosity is different. It requires selflessness. You'll want to build your workplace culture with the right intentions in mind; for effectiveness and also as a great example for your people. Have a truly generous day.

I was feeling hormonal. And I still am! Generous workplace cultures really make you feel like you're a part of something great. It's a nice mix between responsibility and support. Each company and group of people are different but one thing I can guarantee you'll find in every room is hormones. There is no getting around it - and you don't really want to. Great leaders are highly aware of how people's hormones are moving whether they know it or not. It's a good idea to have a general understanding of how they work. You'll want to notice these 4 (and the bonus 5th

Stop trying to be happy. Seek joy instead. You can't always be happy. In fact, I don't think you'd want to be. The valleys make the mountains, ya know? I like to focus on being a in a joyful state of mind. This doesn't mean everything will be perfect, it just means that you feel good about your place in this world. You are grateful for what you have and for the opportunity to share with others. You also know you're able to grow. Employment can be a funny thing. Most of us need it but many say they don't want it (or at least in the form they have). This episode is about 5 thinks to make your work enjoyable. There are plenty more than 5 ways but it's a great start. I'd love to hear/see some of the ways you already implement. Hit me up on the socials. Have a generous day.

Actions speak louder than words, but words also work. I often say that taking action is the most important thing to progress. You learn along the way even if you don't find success quickly. It's also important to have encouraging words in our life and business. There will be times when you need a reminder of why you do what you do and why it's important to build a generous workplace culture. I was made aware of a great quote on generosity recently and it sparked me to look into what other people have said about the subject over the years. I found some great insight and thought I'd a share a couple other quotes I found to be incredible inspiring. Let these quotes keep you focused when building your work place culture. Or, let me know which one(s) already do. Have a generous day.

Avoid these mistakes at all costs. I'm a big fan of “progress”. It's more realistic than “perfection”. The biggest mistakes you can make when building a generous workplace culture will come during those times you're trying to be perfect. I have 4 critical things you must avoid so as to avoid pushing or stressing yourself and your team too much. Make no mistake that generosity is hard. You will make mistakes. Just don't make these (more than once, max). That will put you on the path to the workplace culture you desire. It will attract talented people and loyal customers. Let me know if you believe there are other mistakes that must be avoided. Have a generous day.

This episode is about my 3-step process for building a radically generous workplace culture. There are a lot of variables in an individual organization and it's critical to consider what makes your company unique. Yet, there are foundational practices that you must have when building the culture you desire. People need to see you “giving” and understand why it mattes and how to participate. My “ACE” process outlines three simple concepts that you can implement quickly to start building your generous culture today. And speaking of that culture… Have a generous day.

Do this before you give your employees a raise: Give them something that will make them feel fulfillment and get better in the process. A lot of business leaders and their companies try to attract top talent and retain who they have with financial incentives and bonuses. These things are fleeting - especially a results-based bonus. It's better for people to experience a sense of ownership and joy in the process. There are a lot of intangible things you can give people. I came up with a short list of things that should exist even before a raise is earned. This is a great start but there are plenty of other things. What else would you add?

Slow down or else you'll never make it. I love to sprint…physically and mentally. It's healthy but it's not sustainable. And you want a sustainble business, right? There are no shortcuts or tricks to building a scaling business and a generous workplace culture. You have to be disciplined over a long period of time. This episode will make you think about what it takes to prepare for great things and execute great things. There are lessoned to be learned from working hard just to prepare for something and ultimately working hard when it's time to execute said thing. ⚠ Spoiler alert: business isn't a sprint, but maybe it includes a few?

What do shampoo and conditioner have to do with your business? I'm not haircare expert but I like to have things conditioned before they're shampooed - in business at least. I had one of those shower revelation moments recently and trust me, I wasn't singing. I thought about the importance of running a clean business and how important it is to do from the inside out. You have to condition your people and your culture before you can display a squeaky-clean public image. So, I'm not sure if you should use conditioner or shampoo first in the shower but I am sure that's the right order when it comes to building a business and a generous workplace culture. Stay clean and… Have a generous day.   ============================== For in depth insight on how to attract the best talent and most loyal customers, subscribe to the G2 Newsletter.  I'll send you The Generous Leader's Planner at no cost to get you started.

I dare you to push back on me with this one. Most would agree that positivity is a good thing. It has to be real thought and that's why identifying positive pressures is key. They enable you to stay active, alert, and intentional while also capitalizing on the force that is a positive mindset. When you're pressured, you perform and when you're positive, you're encouraged, empowered, and maximumly productive. Wow, this is a positive explanation - fitting, huh? The goal for this series (combined with last week's episode) is for you to acknowledge pressure and its potential, eliminate the bad, and create the good. Do it for yourself. Do it for your team. Have a positively generous day.     ============================== For in depth insight on how to attract the best talent and most loyal customers, subscribe to the G2 Newsletter.  I'll send you The Generous Leader's Planner at no cost to get you started.

What do you know about pressure? There are a lot of sources that will tell you to avoid pressure these days. Seek comfort. It's a terrible idea. You have to seek pressure - but the right type of pressure. And in order to know the right kind you have to identify the wrong kind. This Part I of a two part series (perhaps longer) that I'm doing on pressure. It's such a critical part of life and business and I believe that hose who master the art are those that will rise above. A generous workplace culture is full of pressure. Don't get it twisted. As the leader, you'll need to identify the negative types and remove them from your organization.

It's up to you to make everything count. Some say everything happens for a reason. I think they do but that reason is to give you an opportunity for some thing great. I've been close to death a few times but one time in particular provides a great metaphor for accidents in business. The unexpected often requires a quick decision making. This episode is about using this great skill to ensure positive outcomes even when something you could not anticipate happens. Take note of how poise is a replicable thing and great leaders are able to model it for the next generation. Have a generous day.     ============================== For in depth insight on how to attract the best talent and most loyal customers, subscribe to the G2 Newsletter.  I'll send you The Generous Leader's Planner at no cost to get you started.
