Providing performance feedback is one of the most challenging tasks leaders face. Feedback often sparks frustration and fear for both leaders and their teams. Why? Because there is a disconnect between what leaders think they are communicating and what employees receive. It's rooted in neuroscience and psychology research that we don't always apply effectively in the moment. EPISODE SUMMARY:WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:There are a lot of moving parts to provide effective feedback, including the content, valence, purpose of the message, the feedback recipient's characteristics, and the feedback provider's characteristics. In their new book, Performance Feedback Strategies, published by the Association for Talent Development (ATD), Drs. Nowack and Mashihi introduce a model of performance feedback coaching for leaders with structured exercises, techniques, and tips to help leaders become better performance coaches. After over a decade spent developing, testing, and refining their model with leaders around the world, they are now ready to share their four-part Performance Feedback Coaching Model, based on research in neuroscience and psychology, to help us all become better at providing performance feedback that is received well and translates into real behavior change. ***ABOUT OUR GUESTS:Dr. Kenneth M.

We want leaders to do the right thing when tested, and we want and believe we will rise to the challenge when the moment presents itself. But the current way we learn how to act ethically in those critical moments doesn't always translate or cause us to think we can do it effectively and confidently. Why not? How can we better prepare ourselves and our leaders when the moment arises? This is that episode. Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative approach to values-driven leadership development in business education and the workplace. Drawing on actual experience and scholarship, GVV fills a long-standing critical gap in the development of values-centered leaders. It's not about persuading people to be more ethical. Rather GVV starts from the premise that most of us already want to act on our values, but that we also want to feel that we have a reasonable chance of doing so effectively and successfully. In this episode we'll explore how to raise those odds.***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Mary C. Gentile, PhD,  is Creator and Director of Giving Voice to Values (www.GivingVoiceToValuesTheBook.com), launched with The Aspen Institute and Yale School of Management and hosted at Babson College for 6 years, now based at UVA-Darden.

She was formerly the Richard M. Waitzer Bicentennial Professor of Ethics at UVA Darden  (2016-2022) and was previously at Harvard Business School (1985-95) and Babson College (2009—2015). She holds a B.A. from The College of William and Mary and Ph.D. from State University of New York-Buffalo.Gentile's publications include: Giving Voice to Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right; Can Ethics Be Taught? Perspectives, Challenges, and Approaches at Harvard Business School (with Thomas Piper & Sharon Parks); Differences That Work: Organizational Excellence through Diversity; Managerial Excellence Through Diversity: Text and Cases, as well as cases and articles in Harvard Business Review, Stanford Social Innovation Review, Academy of Management Learning and Education, Risk Management, CFO, BizEd, Strategy+Business, and others.

We often talk about boundary setting and leading with authenticity and integrity as ways to create healthier work cultures. But why? What is the deeper reason behind this and how can leaders, especially those holding marginalized identities, attend to their own inner experiences to ultimately shape a more human-centered world? That's what Laura Phoenix will be sharing this in episode and we explore the the intersection of trauma-informed practices, leadership, and organizational health.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:This episode explores the intersection of trauma-informed practices, leadership, and organizational health. Many leaders holding marginalized identities face multiple traumatic stressors in life that are often replicated in high-pressure work environments, and in a number of cases that can add up to invisible pressure that harms our wellbeing. We'll talk about how pressures to conform to dominant culture might show up unseen, how those might be felt, and how that feeling might lead us to lead more authentically or to leave organizational structures and leadership roles that perpetuate harm.

What makes diversity and inclusion—seemingly so simple—also so complicated and difficult to achieve? Truly bringing inclusion to life can sometimes feel quite challenging, especially when there seem to be forces pulling in many directions, and various inherent dilemmas involved in working with and across differences. In this episode, we will explore how to bring inclusion to life and how to understand and manage some of the paradoxes and tensions of inclusion. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:Leading in a diverse organization can often feel very challenging, especially given some of the pulls and pushes these days related to DEI.

But inclusion is also difficult. We will discuss and unpack core dilemmas that are part and parcel of inclusion, including the tensions between fostering self-expression and requiring mutual adaption, between being flexible and open about boundaries and norms and keeping them stable and well-defined, and between increasing comfort and safety and leaving our comfort zones and taking more risks.

In the impact space, there is often pressure to work for free or support every cause. You can easily find yourself having to make tough decisions about which projects to take on. Our guest, Rebekah Miel of Miel Creative, will share practical tips pulling from years of experience about how she has managed these experiences, lessons she has learned the hard way, what she learned about how to avoid the overwhelm, and how to make decisions that still align with your values. “In my younger years, I aspired to changing the world. Then reality kicked in, and I settled for 500 square feet.” - Betty Soskin, 102 year old, retired park rangerIn their career, Rebekah Miel has had the good fortune of being able to travel around the globe to hear the stories of frontline community members impacted by everything from climate change to natural disasters to harmful industry. As an empath and an impact-focused entrepreneur, it can be overwhelming. There are too many directions to go in. While it is a noble pursuit to want to change the world, it's important to recognize that making an impact often starts with small, intentional acts close to home. Rebekah notes: "The question I find myself asking over and over is: how can I create change in my industry while staying true to my values? It's not about the size of the impact I make, but the depth and authenticity of it. A common mistake I see is the belief that impact has to be massive to be meaningful. This often leads to burnout or a sense of inadequacy when the reality doesn't meet the ideal. What I want people to understand is that focusing on smaller, manageable projects can often lead to more sustainable and genuine impact. True change is a collective effort, and sometimes the best thing we can do is inspire and empower others to take action alongside us. Other times the best thing is simply show up and listen." Rebekah Miel is that lone pair of headlights driving in the opposite direction during a hurricane evacuation. You'll no longer find her sweating through a Tyvek suit in the lower 9th or eating curry in a refugee camp in Unawatuna, but that doesn't mean she is any less risk-averse. These days she's balancing the death-defying feat of raising pre-teen twins with the act of listening hard for how to be a good citizen in her adopted hometown of Durham, NC. Her current job title is Creative Director of her own creative shop, Miel Creative where she helps make beautiful sense out of a complex world for B corps, non-profits, and other purpose driven organizations. https://mielcreative.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekahmiel/:#BCorp #BeTheChange #BeautifulSense #TheHardSkills #OrganizationalImpactTune in for this empowering conversation at TalkRadio.nyc

What do you do when you are part of a marginalized group trying to make a greater impact but your own community is imploding? This is unfortunately not uncommon in today's public cancel culture and polarized black-and-white society. In this episode, we unpack when it's toxic and when it's simply constructive feedback and how you can handle it. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:How do we distinguish toxicity from supportive critical feedback? What can people from marginalized underrepresented communities who are passionate about making a great impact do to avoid or address this situation in an empowering way? Is it possible to turn this into an empowering experience? We will learn how to maintain a healthy community culture that centers social justice without de-stabilizing its community members. ***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Kim A. Case, Ph.D. is a social psychologist and tenured Professor of Psychology, as well as affiliate Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies, at Virginia Commonwealth University. As a mixed-methods social psychologist, she applies critical theories to examine how social justice academics and underrepresented scholars contribute to intentional creation of inclusive spaces within workplace and educational settings. Currently, Dr. Case's research focuses on the systemic impact of workplace cultural mismatch on how social justice academics navigate job demands with particular attention to health, performance, and retention outcomes. Her research investigates how dominant cultural norms and applied practices result in exclusionary or inclusive experiences for scholars deeply involved in DEIA (diversity equity inclusion accessibility), for example, by invalidating or rewarding DEIA work in faculty promotion. Her national and international faculty development work (www.drkimcase.com) including her Enough Y'all podcast and consulting, focuses on support for social justice academics tackling topics such as job crafting, values alignment, invisible labor, self-worth in the academy, imposter feelings, and toxic people. On the fun side, Dr. Case can be described as a karaoke addict, working-class academic, Appalachian clogger, crocheter, kitty momma, and aspiring student of Spanish.***IF YOU ENJOYED THIS EPISODE, CAN I ASK A FAVOR?We do not receive any funding or sponsorship for this podcast.

She's the founder of Inner Workout, and the award-winning author of a book by the same name. Recently named one of Fortune's 10 Innovators Shaping the Future of Health, Taylor is tired of aspirational 'wellness as usual.' Instead, she makes well-being and personal development more accessible.

In work and life, many of us encounter groups with different norms, expectations, and beliefs. As we navigate the workplace, this flexibility can be helpful, except when it causes us to lose touch with our truer selves or deprives us of our deepest connections. We may be so responsive to others that we lose what makes us special. On the other hand, we may protect our identities so fiercely that we close ourselves off to the potentially positive influences of others. Based on personal and professional experience as psychologist in federal corrections, Dr. Lyn will help us learn how to identify and embrace our unique combination of life experience and world view and use them to connect with others, express our individuality, and manage seemingly conflicting roles. ABOUT THE EPISODE:Based on the experiences of a unlikely leader in federal corrections, listeners will be inspired to embrace the complexity of their identities and create ways to fit in, stand out, and make peace with seemingly conflicting roles in their own challenging work environments.***ABOUT OUR GUEST:Dr. Tamara S.

In the face of work and life challenges, there are three distinct possible long-term outcomes including harm, resilience, and growth. In some cases, people can experience positive change because of overcoming challenges and crises, as expressed in the aphorism “What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.” Dr. Ken Nowack will help us understand how resilience and growth occur as a set of personality and evidence-based personality traits, lifestyle practices and specific habits/behaviors that characterize such hardy individuals, and the leadership practices that can enhance a trusting, psychologically safe, and a positive mental health culture.

Listeners will learn a new way to think about traumatic experiences of leadership, as well as multiple approaches to identify and address these experiences. What do leaders do when the act of being a leader is traumatic? Leaders navigate enormously challenging situations, including moral dilemmas that force the leader to choose between the organization's welfare and that of individual staff; poor behaviors such as sabotaging and gaslighting; no-win situations, and bias, discrimination, and exclusion.
