Tricia Bertram Gallant and David Rettinger discuss The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI on episode 568 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode It is true that people cheat, and that's the reason we have rules in the first place in our lives. -David Rettinger There are always going to be social, personal, and individual pressures on us that cause us to do things that either we didn't realize were wrong, or that we perfectly well know that are wrong, but that in that moment seem like a reasonable trade off to our behavior. -David Rettinger Take care of yourself first, whatever that looks like. You're never going to help somebody else if you're not on firm ground yourself. -David Rettinger You can treat people with dignity and respect even as you're calling out their mistake. You can challenge them while being respectful. -Tricia Bertram Gallant It is important for us to remember to give grace to ourselves. -Tricia Bertram Gallant Resources The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI, by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A.

Chapter 1:Summary of Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change"Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change," written by Joseph Grenny alongside Kerry Patterson, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler, is a comprehensive guide on the psychology and strategies behind effective leadership and change management. The book seeks to equip leaders, individuals, and organizations with the tools to successfully navigate and implement change.Key concepts outlined in the book include:1. Focus on High-Impact Behaviors: Instead of attempting to change many aspects at once, the book recommends focusing on a few vital behaviors that will have the most significant positive impact on the situation.2. Engage All Six Sources of Influence: The authors identify six sources of influence that affect human behavior, which leaders can target to implement change effectively:- Personal Motivation: Make the undesirable desirable.- Personal Ability: Surpass your limits.- Social Motivation: Harness peer pressure.- Social Ability: Find strength in numbers.- Structural Motivation: Design rewards and demand accountability.- Structural Ability: Change the environment.3. Measure Results: Monitoring progress is crucial to understand the impact of the changes, enabling adjustments to strategies as needed.4. Create an Environment that Supports Change: Changing the physical environment can also influence behavior significantly, encouraging or discouraging certain actions.5. Leverage Peer Pressure and Influence: Social networks and norms significantly impact behavior, thus, influencing the right group dynamics can help reinforce the desired change.6. Motivate Through Incentives: While intrinsic motivation is important, appropriate use of extrinsic rewards and penalties can play a big role in effecting change.7. Develop Mastery through Practice: Building ability, both through training and practice, is essential for sustainably adopting new behaviors.8. Focus on the Impact of Change: Leaders should clearly communicate the importance of change and its impact on both organizational and personal levels.The authors provide numerous case studies and real-world examples to illustrate how even the most formidable challenges can be overcome by influencing human behavior effectively through these principles. The book asserts that anyone can learn to become an effective influencer, philosopher, and a change-maker within their own environments by systematically using the strategies outlined."Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change" is both a theoretical framework for understanding the process of change and a practical guide to applying its principles in a variety of situations, making it a valuable resource for leaders in any field.Chapter 2:The Theme of Influencer: The New Science of Leading Change Key Plot Points:1. Definition of Influence: The book starts by exploring the concept of influence itself, redefining it as a leadership tool that can drive significant changes. This sets the stage for a deeper examination into how influence can be strategically exercised.2. Six Sources of Influence: The authors introduce a model that incorporates six key sources of influence, which they argue are necessary for successful change. These sources encompass personal and social motivation, personal and social ability, structural motivation, and structural ability. 3. Real-World Examples: Each principle is backed by real-life case studies, ranging from reducing crime rates to improving healthcare practices. These serve as plot-like exemplifications of how theoretical principles are applied practically.4. Skills Development: The narrative progresses to discuss how individuals can develop skills across all six sources of influence to maximize their...

Are You Behaving in Ways that Are Getting You the Opposite of What You Are Seeking? Emily defines assertive communication as self-advocacy. Meg defines her communication style as the clarity and honesty that begins internally so she can be more steady in stating her needs. They offer how they work with each of their styles and explore “mean girl” culture, how to get attuned to ourselves first, and how not to get triggered in our responses. “If you don't talk about it, your behavior will show it.” “How do we emotionally manipulate to get what we want in passive-aggressive ways?” “There are energetics and tensions people can feel behind your communication.” “How much is my responsibility in this conversation?” “What is the difference between choosing versus feeling compelled as an obligation?” “Am I doing this from a place of worth instead of having to prove, defend, or beg instead of connection, attunement, or mutuality?” “With increased clarity and simplicity comes confident authenticity.” “The simplicity comes when you stop focusing on analyzing their behavior and putt it back on aligning with your values.” “Keeping the peace doesn't work because we suppress our needs to play nice.” “Are these MY facts or THE facts? What am I making this mean?” “Our minds can easily make up a victim/villain story and then offer up ‘fake conviction' with blame.” “Good communication asks a question instead of assuming. It comes from a space of curiosity instead of blame.” Original Art by Meg Miller References from the episode: @MarkManson For further exploration, we loved this book: Crucial Conversations by Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler, Kerry Patterson, & Laura Roppe #vulnerability #gratitude #empowered #sweetrevenge #surrender #youareworthy #surrender #crucialconversations #podcastersofinstagram #podcastinglife #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts #personalgrowth #selfdevelopment #selfhelp #positivevibes #infinitepossibilities #meangirl #emotionallabor #mindsetpodcast #personaldevelopmentpodcast #denver #podcastaddict #femalepodcasters #spiritualwarrior #useyourgifts #youaremorethanyouthink #thinkingofyou #trust #spreadinglove #motivationeveryday #startyourevolutionbaby

In our journey as young bosses, there's a common temptation we'll all face - the temptation to avoid difficult conversations. We procrastinate, we simmer, we stew, until the problem boils over into a colossal mess that could have been prevented. Today, we're diving into the art of having those tough talks - with your team, clients, and perhaps most importantly, with yourself.Hard Conversations with Your TeamTo be an effective leader, beating around the bush is just not an option. Avoiding issues or complaints leads to poor communication and misunderstandings. It's crucial to address concerns promptly and honestly. Transparency and openness build trust. But delaying these discussions damages relationships and can lead to irreversible decisions. Don't wait. Take notes, record conversations, and encourage an open dialogue.A book I always recommend to young bosses for guidance on how to handle difficult conversations is “Crucial Conversations” by Al Switzler.Challenging Client ConversationsDealing with difficult clients can be even more awkward. Disrespectful behavior or unwarranted criticism must be addressed promptly. And just like with employees procrastination doesn't help; it only festers issues, affecting your business as a whole. Clients can influence your company culture so be mindful of their impact on your team's morale. "The Pumpkin Plan" is a helpful read for tips on managing challenging client conversations.Holding Yourself AccountableDo you have someone who holds you accountable? Leaders must set an example. Establish KPIs for yourself related to people, culture, and numbers. It keeps you on track and demonstrates your commitment to improvement.When to Seek ConsultantsSometimes, third-party expertise is needed. Hire contractors or consultants to provide objective insights and help navigate complex situations. Be sure to test different options before committing. Ensure they align with your values and can be relied upon when challenges arise.Listen, becoming an effective young boss hinges on honesty, transparency, and open communication. Address issues head-on, with your team and clients, while also recognizing your own need for accountability. Seek external support when necessary, and remember, honesty is always the best policy. Difficult conversations may be uncomfortable, but they're essential for personal and professional growth. Embrace them, and watch your leadership skills soar.

This week on Maximum Mom, your host Elise Buie is joined by Michelle Bomberger. Michelle founded Equinox in 2005 to provide business leaders a more transparent, responsive, and business focused solution for their legal needs. Over the past 17 years, she's morphed the business model to offer a fixed fee General Counsel Services solution giving business leaders the confidence and freedom to include legal in their strategic and tactical planning -- they have a relationship with their lawyer and they know what they are paying, when they'll get a response, and that the solution is right for their business. It's a tough model to manage and she's learned a ton about how to make this work for her clients and for her own business. When Michelle started Equinox in 2005, she had a 1 year old at home and was pregnant with her second child. Michelle's kids have grown up with Equinox a part of their lives -- but also having their mom in their lives! While they've seen her work a lot over the years - and seen the ups and downs of being an entrepreneur and employer, she's always been there for them. Michelle committed early on to picking them up from school, taking them where they needed to go, and participating in what was important to them. These were priorities for Michelle and forced her to make decisions in her business and her life to make these work for her family. Michelle has an undergraduate degree in business from the University of Notre Dame and a JD/MBA from Northwestern University. She is an active member and member of the Board of Directors of the Seattle Chapter of Entrepreneurs' Organization and a member of the Board of Bellevue LifeSpring and Youth Theatre Northwest.04:42 The start of the law firm and having little children 11:55 When the firm office encourages the flexibility needed for motherhood and work 14:07 Strategic misses that are happening right now17:47 Using fixed price 23:42 Books recommended by Michelle that have really shifted her thinking 29:25 How does Michelle streamline the administrative burden 37:55 Tips for how to succeed in life as “mom” and as a law firm owner! 40:55 Tips for handling email inbox #rabbithole Connect with Michelle: Website Facebook Twitter LinkedIn YouTube Links Mentioned: Book: Range by Daivd Epseen Book: Traction by Gino Wickman Book: Crucial Accountability by Kerry Patterson and Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillian, Al Switzler, David Maxfield Book: The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan

Crucial Conversations Full Book ReviewMore Content On Bookey Best App For Book Summary. Inevitably, there will be “crucial moments” in our lives that are difficult to solve but will have a significant impact on the overall course of our life. However, most people handle these moments poorly, and even choose to avoid them. This book teaches us practical skills to handle crucial conversations, avoid unnecessary arguments, and achieve effective communication. This book is based on over 20 years of empirical research and data gathered from more than 100,000 people around the world. The skills described here have been adopted by more than 300 of the Fortune 500 companies, and the book has sold 3 million copies in the United States. Overview | Chapter 1Hi, welcome to Bookey. Today we'll unlock the book Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High. When people first hear the term “crucial conversation,” it may conjure up images of Apple and Google's lawyers fighting a patent dispute in court, or politicians from various countries gathered at a round table in Geneva to hold an international conference. Although discussions like these indeed have a wide-sweeping impact, they're not the subject of this book. The crucial conversations we're referring to are interactions that everyone experiences. They're the day-to-day conversations that affect your life, such as the following scenarios: Imagine that you are facing harassment from your boss, and if you choose to tolerate it, he will continue; if you fight back, the next day, he may fire you for walking into the office with your left foot first. Or at home, imagine that your spouse intentionally or unintentionally alienates himself or herself from you. If you choose to let the situation escalate to a cold war, then your marriage will be on the rocks. But if you fight back, it may just make your spouse withdraw even more. These situations are actually crucial moments in our lives, and the result of these conversations will have lasting positive or negative effects, leaving a huge impact on the quality of our lives. Unfortunately, most people do not handle crucial conversations in the right way. In this case, the book Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High proposes two principles: clarify what you really want and create a safe atmosphere that helps us seize every crucial moment in our lives. This book is co-authored by a team of four authors. Kerry Patterson did doctoral work in organizational behavior at Stanford University. He is a recipient of the 2004 William G. Dyer Distinguished Alumni Award from Brigham Young University's Marriott School of Management. Joseph Grenny has been a senior consultant in the field of corporate change research for more than 30 years. He is also a co-founder of a non-profit organization, which works to eradicate poverty around the world. Ron McMillan, an acclaimed speaker and senior consultant, is the co-founder of the Covey Leadership Center, where he serves as Vice President of Research and Development. Al Switzler is on the faculty of the Executive Development Center at the University of Michigan and has helped dozens of Fortune 500 companies. After 20 years of research involving more than 100,000 people around the world, the team selected a group of great conversationalists, analyzed their common characteristics and behaviors in crucial conversations, and narrowed down a set of effective methods, which are the basis of this book.

Symon Hajjar is the founder and creative mind behind Hot Toast Music Company. In this episode of Magic in the Room, Symon sits down with Hannah and Ben to talk about how music, creativity, and learning can all be rooted in purpose. Symon's music is focused on kids but is full of “opportunity for wide-eyed innovators of all ages to join in the fun of self-discovery and creativity.” Hot Toast Music Co. is the product of dad, educator and musician Symon Hajjar who writes irresistible kids' music, all with purpose. Hajjar, or Mr. Symon as his students call him, draws inspiration from the way children often find magic in the mundane parts of life that are hidden in plain sight. For Hajjar, Hot Toast is not just "kids music" but an opportunity for wide-eyed innovators of all ages to join in the fun of self-discovery and creativity. Hajjar's stellar songwriting skills bring an easiness to talking about difficult or serious topics with kids, as well as delighting in the pure joy children find in simply being silly. Songs are anchored with creative activities that combine the tactile with the message of each song, turning each song into an opportunity for discovery!

This week, Dan Neumann is diving deep into the topic of psychological safety, inspired by a couple of articles that got his special attention (references below). Dan is sharing in today's episode the definition of psychological safety, its link to diversity in Teams and innovation, as well as some specific ways to foster psychological safety as the number one prerequisite for a successful Team. Key Takeaways What is psychological safety? Psychological safety is a shared belief that the members of a team won't be rejected or embarrassed for speaking up with their ideas, questions, or concerns. Bresman and Edmondson present research that supports that diversity on a team is linked to a better outcome. This research explores the bond between diversity and psychological safety, implying that more diverse teams are going to have better ideas and outcomes than teams that are less diverse. From the research, they found that diverse teams tend to be a little lower on performance than more homogeneous teams. They also differentiated from highly diverse teams that had high psychological safety and those that did not have it. This first group outperformed by a meaningful degree both the diverse teams that didn't have psychological safety and also low diversity to homogeneous teams. Meeting with the purpose of finding root causes can feel a lot like blame, and blame is one of the behaviors that destroy psychological safety. Transform meetings into opportunities to share information. Seek information! Don't assume you know. Choose open versus closed-ended questions. In his article, Timothy Clark uses the term dialogic process to explore how Teams harness intellectual friction and navigate their interdepending work. If there is a lack of psychological safety, individuals are going to censor each other or result in self-censoring behavior which prevents a highly collaborative atmosphere in a Team. High psychological safety promotes innovation as a goal while a lack of it produces fear as a response and survival as the goal. Clark frames Agile as a culture implementation, bringing the Agile values into practice. Small and seemingly insignificant acts of disrespect, indifference, and rudeness can push a Team back into withdrawal and personal risk management. Clark also shares four steps to work in a Scrum Team to continue to foster psychological safety. Ways to promote psychological safety at work: Google has identified five dynamics in successful Teams and the number one prerequisite is psychological safety. The second is dependability, in third place are structure and clarity, fourth is the meaning of the work, and lastly, the members of the Team have to fundamentally believe that the work they do matters.

We've been exploring coaching, what it is, how to do it, common pitfalls. And you are a focused machine. You're on fire! But. It's. Not. Working.What the heck? The good news is that there are several areas to explore. You. And them.Let's start with you. 1. Do a self-assessment.Definition: coaching is a focused and intentional effort to help another person figure out the best way to achieve his or her goals, build skill sets or expertise, and produce the results the organization needs. Explore your mindset.Clear and focused intentions?Patient and encouraging?Putting in the time required?Coming from a place of helpfulness?Explore your behaviors.Clarifying intentions (i.e., value and benefits to them)?Using the right approach?Asking great questions?Listening deliberately?Engaging and supportive?Getting commitment to plans?Following through? 2. Do a motivation and competency audit for them.What else might be going on. Consider: motivation and competency (i.e., will and skill).Explore the six sources of influence: motivation and competency, combined with individual, social and environmental factors.The six-source model helps us expand our view of why people do what they do. By looking at all six sources, we can expand our traditional thoughts about why people do the things they do.Source 1: Self, Motivate (Pain and Pleasure) Taking pleasure from the current behavior or finding the desired behavior to be painful. Example: Planning. Ew.Source 2: Self, Enable (Strengths and Weaknesses) Lacking the knowledge or ability to perform the required task. Feel more capable performing a different task. Example: Marketing. Ew.Source 3: Others, Motivate (Praise and Pressure) Others (friends, family, coworkers, and bosses) punish the right behavior while praising the wrong behavior. Example: Dad telling us to go to work.Source 4: Others, Enable (Helps and Hindrances) Others make it hard or challenging to do the right behavior while making it easy to do the wrong behavior. Example: Peer pressure at work, can't say no to assignments.Source 5: Things, Motivate (Carrots and Sticks) The formal reward structure encourages the wrong behavior while discouraging the right behavior. Example: Sales team, rewards for individuals.Source 6: Things, Enable (Bridges and Barriers) The environment, structure, policies, procedures, rules, and all other things make it hard or impossible to do the right behavior while making it easy to do the wrong behavior. Example: Offer hybrid work environment, but not providing technology resources at home. If you're having a coaching challenge, it's likely that you're experiencing that challenge from your coaching (#bigbummer) or from something else influencing their behavior change. The good news is now you can more easily diagnose the problem. The six sources of influence are based on the book, Influencer: The Power to Change Anything, by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler.Be the coach everyone wants to work for!

Standout Quotes: "Don't have too much pride that you need to know everything” - [Gary] "We like to give ourselves margin for error so we can also have that flexibility to pivot our business plan if need be" - [Gary] "We're constantly massaging our numbers and seeing, where might we spend more money?"- [Gary] “There's a tons of foreign money that's coming in because multifamily real estate is still the best risk adjusted returns out there.” – [Gary] “Interest rates are going to go up and then it'll level off, but people need a place to place money” – [Gary] “I don't think enough people out there understand what true asset management is.” – [Gary] Key Takeaways: Gary describes himself in one word as "Tenacious". I've been an entrepreneur as far back as I can remember. If I didn't have that tenacity, I wouldn't have been as successful as I was. With the cap rates compressing so much, we're not solely focused on what the buying going in cap rate is, but where we can drive it to and what our reversion is. You're not going to know everything. You're not going to know when COVID is going to hit next or Texas freeze. We have a particular style that we underwrite and we have an underwriter and then we fine tune it from there and then keep massaging it all the way through. I think you just have to be very careful on what you're investing in because there's 10 31 money, there's people writing really aggressively to get these deals. We focus a lot on Facebook marketplace for advertising and that's free. We didn't have to spend a lot of money on apartments.com and this and that. Property management manages the day-to-day operations of that property, leasing and turns. For an investor, know your syndicator, know your general sponsor.
