Podcasts about breakthrough performance

Could the third time be the charm for Chris Farley on The Contrarians podcast? Infamously, our episodes on Black Sheep and Almost Heroes featured some serious disagreements regarding the comedic talents of Farley and his co-starts. So what happens when we discuss a Farley/Spade vehicle that shaped Alex's early years? Can Julio resist an avalanche of TOMMY BOY quotes and references?

BW CEO Bob Chapman often tells a story about meeting Steve Jones, who was formerly a high school football coach who led his teams to five consecutive state titles from 2013-2017 with an incredible run of 70 consecutive victories, a Wisconsin state record. With those impressive credentials, Bob asked Steve what he taught his players about winning and losing. Steve said they didn't. He said that they teach them to play their position well for their fellow team members. Do it as an act of respect for their fellow team members. He said, “When people truly care for one another, it's amazing how hard they will work for each other.” To Bob, it begged the question: if you create an environment of unconditional care, wouldn't the people there want to “play their position well” for their teammates? Our friend, Shawn Murphy, has written a book about teams, team building and team performance: Work Tribes: The Surprising Secret to Breakthrough Performance, Astonishing Results and Keeping Teams Together. To Shawn, one of the key aspects of an environment of unconditional care is belonging. As he wrote in a guest post on our Truly Human Leadership blog: "As human beings, we are wired to belong. Some researchers say that belonging is what bonds people together. It's the bond that is either life-giving or life-depleting... Of course, the reverse is true when you don't feel a sense of belonging. You protect your thinking. You become hyper-focused on yourself. You limit pro-social behaviors. You close yourself off to relationships. Your potential is limited. Yet, when a leader can help someone feel like they belong to the team, the team benefits. Ultimately the company benefits. Human potential is unleashed. Mediocrity is diminished." As we often say, everyone wants to know that who they are what what they do matter. That is important for every leader to remember. On this podcast, you'll hear a discussion with Shawn as he talks about Work Tribes and the idea of helping your people feel like they belong.

prestere foran så mange mennesker gjorde henne nervøs.En: But the thought of having to perform in front of so many people made her nervous.No: Hver gang hun skulle si replikken sin, følte hun hjertet slå hardt i brystet.En: Every time she was supposed to say her line, she felt her heart pounding in her chest.No: Ola, Karis beste venn, var også med i stykket.En: Ola, Kari's best friend, was also in the play.No: Han var en av de få som visste om hennes frykt.En: He was one of the few who knew about her fear.No: Han tok kameratslig tak i skulderen hennes og smilte bredt.En: He gave her shoulder a

svak.En: She realized that being vulnerable didn't mean one was weak.No: Tvert imot, viste det hvor sterk man kunne være når man støttet seg på gode venner.En: On the contrary, it showed how strong one could be when relying on good friends.No: Fra den dagen av, hver gang den nervøse følelsen dukket opp, minnet hun seg selv om Olas ord og smilte.En: From that day on, every time the nervous feeling arose, she reminded herself of Ola's words and smiled.No: Frykten var fortsatt der, men dens makt over henne var mye mindre.En: The fear was still there, but its power over her was much

Dana Flahr wasn't born to be the big mountain slayer he worked so hard to become. Growing up in a single-mom household, things were a struggle, but one thing Dana's mom figured out was how to get him on the mountain and from there his passion took over. Moving to Whistler at 17, Dana didn't party; he skied daily, honing his big mountain skills in the winter and building his trick vocabulary in the summer. That combination got him a tryout with TGR, where he sent it harder than almost anyone in their movies then. Over the years, he's won Powder Awards, earned the respect of the best in the business, and banged out video jaw-dropping TGR segments and more each season. Eventually, burnout got the best of Dana, and he disappeared. We talk about it all and more on the podcast.

"An Integrated Framework for Breakthrough Performance and Extraordinary Business Results"

In the complex dance of leadership, delegation emerges as a pivotal move that can elevate an entire organization. Yet, it's a step often stumbled upon, causing many leaders to retreat to the comfortable confines of micromanagement. In the latest episode of "Peak Performance Leadership," our host Scott McCarthy delves into the nuanced art and science of "DelegaMastery" – transforming the act of task distribution into a catalyst for growth, both for the leader and the team. Delegation is more than a mere distribution of tasks; it's a reflection of trust and an investment in your team's capabilities. Leaders who master delegation empower their teams, drive engagement, and free their own time for strategic thinking. However, letting go of the reins can be daunting. Ego, fear of relinquished control, and the anxiety of potential failure stand as barriers. The episode dives deep into overcoming these hurdles and equipping you with tools and frameworks to institute effective delegation that gives rise to a more productive and empowered workforce. Scott McCarthy, with his rich background in leadership and team dynamics, underscores the essence of shifting mindsets from control to enablement. "DelegaMastery" isn't just an option for the contemporary leader; it's an imperative skill that can spell the difference between stagnation and evolution in both professional and personal realms. Timestamped Overview Here are a number of timestamped moments in this episode: 04:07 Explore delegation's role in everyday life 08:13 Delegation empowers others to make decisions. 11:58 Business owner gets urgent request for proposal. 16:17 Delegation eases the hard, endless treadmill. 19:56 Link intent with purpose to communicate vision. 21:43 Understanding resources, limits, and critical information requirements. 27:34 Empower others instead of being judgmental. 28:47 Delegate with learning, support, and follow-up. 32:31 Schedule and guide updates for effective delegation. 35:22 Member misallocated funds due to lack of understanding. 39:56 Delegate, prepare, let go, enable, communicate, support. 41:45 Learn from mistakes, use framework for delegation.

At thirty-six years old, Mike Abrashoff was the most junior officer in the Pacific Fleet when he took command of the near-worst performing ship. Twelve months later, using the same crew,  USS Benfold was the best ship in the entire Navy. His story is legendary. Captain Mike Abrashoff is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. Prior to commanding USS Benfold, Mike served as the Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense William J. Perry. He has  authored  four books. His first,  "It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy," sold more than 1.4 million copies. This inspiring Episode is for every individual and organization looking for practical and usable ways to take performance to new heights. In Mike's case, he realized that before the ship's performance could change, he had to change his leadership style.

Are you willing to shake up the way you think, work, and lead? The relentless pace of business today is taking a serious toll on all of us. We might strive to be purpose-driven, impactful, and innovative, but we are often hijacked by never-ending to-do lists and constant crisis management. So, what is the solution? Unfortunately, it's not as simple as throwing out the old rules and learning new ones. It's about developing the insights to know when to follow conventional leadership wisdom and when to defy it. Today's gal pal, Sara Canaday, is here to share some of those insights.Sara Canaday is an author, keynote speaker, and executive coach. Her book, Leadership Unchained: Defy Conventional Wisdom for Breakthrough Performance, really got my attention. She says that traditional wisdom that molded leadership for years is losing its effectiveness in our chaotic, digitally overwhelmed world. In some cases, those principles may even be impeding your progress!In this episode, we talk about:The issue with a bias for actionHow to create a stop-doing listHow to evolve into a modern leaderNavigating the brave new world of communication in leadershipHere's a glance:[3:58] Sara's nail color persona is a Solid Sister and her go-to is Bubble Bath.[7:10] In her book, Leadership Unchained, Sara explores the traditional success principles, such as a bias for action, that bog leaders down.[14:47] The modern leader knows when to defy conventional wisdom and knows when to use it.[17:43] Sara shares strategies to flip traditional success principles into modern leadership principles and Mary shares her quiz results.[24:00] Sara offers a counter-intuitive strategy to create the time necessary to take a long strategic pause.[31:52] An additional suggestion for traditional leaders who want to evolve into modern leaders, is to resist the temptation to overly rely on your own expertise.[37:55] What strategies do leaders find challenging and what is the risk to leaders if they don't evolve?[45:50] Sara's nail color to inspire people to be modern leaders is ‘Good Enough Garnet'.[48:00] In the Flip to Chip segment, Mary highlights what Sara said about flipping one of the most common leadership strategies of having a Bias for Action.Shareables:“We need to look for those unusual connections ... and we can't begin to do it if we are constantly in a bias for action.” — Sara Canaday on @livelikeyournailcolor“Start making a stop-doing list, instead of a to-do list.” — Sara Canaday on @livelikeyournailcolor“The more stressful things are, the more inclined we are to hold and cling tight to what we have always done.” — Sara Canaday on @livelikeyournailcolorDiscover more about Dr. Sherri: saracanaday.comLeadership Unchained book (https://saracanaday.com/leadership-unchained-buy-the-book-today/ )The Modern Leader Index Assessment (https://saracanaday.com/the-modern-leader-index/ )LinkedIn @SaraCanadayFor more inspiration and fun: Take the quiz and discover your nail color persona: mynailcolorpersona.comRate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts —“Mary and the Live Like Your Nail Color podcast is inspiring and fun!”

Today, I interview Dr. Gary Wohlman, a powerful teacher who is important to me because he was one of my first coaches! I had a transformative experience with him and I am so honored and proud to share him with you all today. Gary was born in New York City to Russian Jewish parents. They were hardworking pillars of the community. Gary was always very physically active and expressive, always moving his body in every way possible. His mother felt his creativity and free spirit might limit him in his career, so she encouraged him to pursue more academic, traditional vocations. He would show her his art, and she would ask him how his math classes were going. This broke Gary's heart. He wanted to thrive but felt so limited and disconnected by the lack of encouragement in this area. He found out he had a relative who had pursued the arts and found success, and this helped Gary to break through and give himself permission to explore and express himself in the creative world, no longer trying to fit into the molds and perceptions of success that are most common in today's society. Dr. Gary works in a spontaneous, creative way. Instead of conforming to a step-by-step method, he improvises with people based on what he senses about them. He guides them through their fears to process their experiences and break through those fears. One amazing technique he uses is a guided affirmation, where he asks us to say, "People are more interested to hear my message than I am scared to share it." And it's true! Today, Gary thrives using his "multisensory" techniques to spread the awareness and message, quite literally, that we can be ourselves, we can follow our hearts, and we can break free. ________ Dr. Gary Wohlman has devoted his lifetime as an archaeologist of the soul ~ liberating stored layers of energy, communication, and expression buried within the physical, emotional, and creative layers in the landscapes of our bodies. Since the pandemic has shifted the ways we are able to reach and connect with one another, Dr. Gary has been developing offerings online to provide visceral coaching and counseling without having to be in the same room or even in the same part of the world. As a performing artist, he has specialized and developed the character of Sharaad La Charade, court jester. In this capacity, he provides improvisational storytelling where audiences participate in his living legends by enacting the characters in the scripts he is weaving. These days, he uses this jester persona to awaken creativity, spontaneity, and authenticity with developing speakers, presenters, entrepreneurs, performing artists, and developing leaders. As a communication artist, his one-on-one coaching and interactive signature speech /keynote presentation and workshop "Speaking from the Heart, Transforming your Message with your BODY & VOICE", has assisted thousands to enhance the engagement, impact, and effectiveness of their presentations, and to bring their message out into the world. His soul's devotion is to awaken creativity and full self-expression and to assist fellow humans to take a stand for our lives - through our body, our chief instrument and temple of communication. Find Gary here: www.mypresentationdoctor.com www.garywohlman.com www.garywohlman.com/online-services/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/garywohlman https://www.youtube.com/elijahgary 2 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2tYjK9w7hFQNdox1iSGnMw https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl0QQA2snnBDG_fpJzgR-Fg _______I'm your podcast host, Dr. Doreen Downing, and I help people find their voice so they can overcome anxiety, be confident, and speak without fear. Get started now on your journey to your authentic voice by downloading my Free 7 Step Guide to Fearless Speaking: https://www.doreen7steps.com.

In episode 4 we explore the transformative power of feedback and learn to engage it as your best opportunity for growth. Summary In this episode, we discuss what it means to scale your leadership and the importance of developing your people. A business can't outgrow the effectiveness of its leadership. Working harder and longer won't get you where you need to go. It is a business imperative in today's environment that we transcend our current level of leadership. Scaling your leadership can only be achieved by developing capacity and capability in others. Effective leaders continually develop their people and the leaders around them.

I'll give that one. The new york times said, "The financial success of the film has been credited along with The 40-Year-Old Virgin for reviving the popularity of adult-aimed R-rated comedies." -https://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/10/movies/the-return-of-the-rrated-comedy.html Plot:A couple argues and Vaughn and Wilson are obviously tired of it. They are mediating a divorce that is very volatile. They guide the couple to get out there and get some strange ass. They agree to the frequent flier miles and que the intro. Jeremy explains why he stays with John on his birthday because his parents passed away years ago, and explaining why he doesn't like dating. John is called in and they begin discussing the wedding season plans. Starting with fake purple hearts. Cut to the first wedding, a jewish wedding. They don yamakas and start scouting at the wedding. John uses eye drops to make himself look like hes crying, and then Jeremy sets his sights on one of the attendees. At the reception they are shown being heavily involved in the festivities, signing, dancing, **doing up close magic with the kids.** Even making speeches. Jeremy ends a story explaining why he couldn't be a professional bullfighter, and kisses the girl. The guys are shown walking into multiple weddings, again, dancing, people explaining why and how they're related to the couples; making up lies and backstries. John drops a line to a girl, "you know how they say we only use 10% of our brains, I think we only use 10% of our hearts." They're doing the Shout song at multiple weddings and dancing with the women, joking with family, drinking, the women are then shown falling into bed with th them, and spraying champagne everywhere. Vivian calls John on his shit, he and Jeremy were shown sharing a bottle of champagne at the mall in DC, with John questioning what they're doing. John saying they're not that young and the season is over. S:-Following complaints from the United States Congress, the producers of the film yanked from the movie's official website a printable Purple Heart advertised as a gimmick to pick up women and get free drinks. The film was also released at the same time that the Stolen Valor Act became federal law, making the false display of military awards a federal crime.-When Jeremy asks the kids what the little piece of paper is for and the kid says, "rolling a fattie"-There were complaints about the movie being misogynistic, that the guys seduce girls at weddings to have sex with them, the director responded: "They love weddings, authentically. They like the free food, they like the music and the bands, they like the dancing and the kids, they like talking to the grandparents. These guys make the weddings better. You would want them to crash your wedding.That's the distinction. It's not misogynistic and, in fact, what it's doing is replicating a real seduction, which is, "I want to go to bed with you, but I have all these walls up. Can you make me laugh, make me attracted to you and find a way to make this really fun so we could get to the good part?" That's a seduction. So, if I can seduce the audience — if I can make them laugh and be entertained and think these are okay guys — by the time they're dropping the girls in the bed, it's a magic trick. That was the whole idea."  Jeremy comes in Johns office with an article about Secretary Clearys daughter getting married, John was looking forward to a break. but Jeremy convinces him they've got to go by stating the rules of wedding crashing and enthusiasm. Cut to the wedding, John McCain and James Carville are congratulating the Secretary, they run through their pre-game, secretaries back story, etc. John sees Rachel McAdams; and they discuss their back story of being syrup conglomerates. In the wedding, they make small talk about their family connections, and state the rules to each other, Rule 76 play like a champion. Jermey dibs the redhead, and John says he's not going to fight him, as he watches Claire walk down the aisle. They bet on if the bride will cry, and what the sister will read, 1 Corinthians. They read boating related vows, which Claire laughs at. The reception begins. First class all the way, as Jeremy shoves food in his face and John moves towards claire and introduces himself as being psychic with wedding presents. The guys discuss their angles and move on. Jeremy is making balloon animals, and sees Gloria watching him as a demanding kid wants a bicycle. John is dancing with the flower girl, when Mrs. Cleary comes for a very aggressive dance. Gloria comes and and introduces herself and they dance. The song ends and John introduce himself to Secretary Cleary; they discuss economics and politics. Jeremy uses the "lost a lot of really good men out there" line and takes off, with Gloria chasing after him; while John and Sec. Cleary are having a cigar. John explains why people come to weddings and what true love is, "True love is the soul's recognition of its counterpoint in another." and gives her some advice on her speech, which she disagrees with. They cut to the speeches, and Claires goes as John predicted, and he motions to her to speak from the heart, which saves her speech. S:-There is no way they get into the wedding/reception without an invite and being vetted by secret service.-The girl in the hat just eye fucked the shit out of me... Love it.-I love how they commit to the back story and just roll with the weird shit everyone says, the kid with the balloon bike, the wife saying they'll be married for 30 years, and they were faithful for two of them. Jeremy and Gloria are on the beach, obviously having just had sex, when she says she knew her first time would be on a beach, and that she loves him. As Claire thanks John, Sack kisses her and is introduced as her boyfriend. Jermy tells him he's got a stage 5 clinger and they gotta go. She invites them to the family home, and John wants to go, and Jeremy is trying to explain that he can't go. They argue about overtime and tell each other to lock it up. Gloria pitches a fit and the guys are allowed to come with them. They arrive and are invited to play a game of touch football, Sack is obviously over doing the warm up is going to over do it. Sack catches a pass and scores, prompting Kip to say, "crabcakes and football, that's what Maryland does." John and Claire talk before the ball is snapped, they run down as Jeremy throws the ball and Claire intercepts it, as planned, and Sack violently knocks him down. An awkward interaction with Todd, and another play as John throws the ball to Jeremy and is again violently knocked down by Sack. They break up the game, Gloria takes him in , when Mrs. Clearly tells John he should've played in his underwear. Gloria tries to help administer first aid, and goes crazy, and tells hims not to leave because she'd find him. Sec. Cleary tells Jeremy he's a very powerful man, threateningly. Sack is telling a story and John agrees to the eye drops. As the prayer is said, John puts eye drops in Sacks drink. John asks about their relationship, Jeremy complains about his back, as Sec. Cleary asks about their business, Gloria starts grabbing Jeremys crotch and giving him an over the pants handy. John tries to talk about the business, and Jeremy struggles to keep it together. He finishes, and helps name their fake company, Holy Shirts and Pants. Sec. Clearys mom talks about FDRs wife being a "dyke" and Sacks stomach starts rumbling. Jeremy and John engage Tod, which the conversation doesn't go well, with the mom trying to be led off, and Todd declaring to Jeremy he'd be in his room, painting homo things, and storms off. Dinner ends with Claire getting some air and John joining her. S:-I always thought Bradley Coopers characters name was Zach, not Sack... What a shitty name.-What movie do you think of when you hear Bradley Cooper?-I still to this day say lock it up to Abigail when she starts being weird... So all the time.-BOoh of those hits were rough. Feel bad for the stunt guy.-That whole bathroom scene with her going crazy, and the "i'll find you" is so classic.-Remember when the eyedrops thing was a thing?-Ever gotten an over the pants handy at a dinner table? Mrs. Cleary enters the room and exposes her tits to John, and they have an awkward exchange, she tells him to feel her up, and she calls him a pervert when he does. Jeremy tells him to stop crying like a little girl, but wanted to know about them. Did he motorboat her? They built for speed or comfort? He and Claire talk and laugh about her strange family. She checks on Sack, and he's an asshole to her. Jeremy wakes up to being tied to his bed by Gloria, who gags him telling him she'll make all his fantasies come true. John and Claire both aren't sleeping, and sneak to check each others rooms. Back to Jeremy who, still tied to the bed, Todd is now in bed with him. Todd made a painting for him, they hear someone in the hall and Jeremy convinces Todd to hide. Sec. Cleary comes in and they have another awkward conversation about Todd. He convinces Todd to leave and they'd talk tomorrow. At breakfast John wants to stay and Jeremy wants to go. They argue, about why to stay or go. John pulls out Rule 1, never leave a fellow crasher behind. Sack calls his buddy and they expose who big of douches they are, cheating on Claire, and gets his buddy to start digging dirt on John and Jeremy. They go sailing, and John is exposed for NOT knowing anything about sailing. They get back and Sack is ready for the quail hunt, but he seems a little revved up. They walk through the woods talking about how they don't even know what a quail is, and Sack shoots him in the ass. As Gloria pulls out the bb's, John and Claire go for a bike ride and have a bit of a deep conversation about being involved in something longer than they meant to. She rationalizes her relationship and they kiss. At lunch after, as John and Claire eye each other, Sack announces they're getting married. John decides he's going to tell her the truth. Jeremy tells Gloria he doesn't see the relationship going past this weekend, she hits him with some truth about not being as naive as she came off as and spins him out; he realizes he's got feelings for her. As he expresses himself to the priest, and thanks him with a kiss. John tells Claire she can't marry him because he likes her, meanwhile Sack gets a phone call, and there's a gun shot. Jeremy comes running out with the family, Sack tells them all the truth and John admits to it. Gloria seems to forgive Jeremy, Todd tells everyone he tried to seduce him, and he wants his painting back, but Jeremy is keeping it. Sec. Cleary tells them to leave. They're walking down the driveway, back in their tuxes, Jeremy carrying the painting back to DC. S:-When he kinda tried to tell her the truth, you know it's not going to end well.-Isla Fisher used a body double for that scene-The actor who plays Todd actually painted the painting, and Vince Vaughn kept it.-The plate Jeremy fixes himself for breakfast, with syrup on everything... gross.-Props to Gloria... I'm 13 years in a marriage and I don't think I'd be pulling bb's out of my wifes ass.-I've had good talks with guys, but never kissed them.  John is desperate to get to Claire, and Jeremy tries to talk to sence to him and he's not hearing it. John wants to crash the engagement dinner, and reluctantly Jeremy agrees. John infiltrates the party, and while watching Claire dance with her dad, Sack catches him and beats him up. John goes to Jeremys house only to catch him with Gloria. They argue and Jeremy admits he loves Gloria. They part. Video montoge of everyone being sad. Jeremy reaches out, Claire doesn't want to be planning the wedding... John is crashing weddings alone and making a fool of himself. Jeremy and Gloria get engaged. Claire and her dad talk about making decisions. Jeremy and John talk, it's Johns bday again. They start to make up, John is obviously struggling, Jeremy reveals he's getting married and wants him as his best man, and John tells him to leave. John goes to find Chaz. They chat and Chaz tells him he's now crashing funerals... Which John has a hard time to wrap his head around. He ends up going with Chaz to a funeral; when he sees the widow crying, he knows he has to go. He shows up to Jeremy and Glorias wedding. As the celebration resumes, he starts to try and not talk to Claire. She starts to leave, and he tries to explain and apologize to her. He says he's not asking her to marry him, just not to marry Sack. He tells her to get back on the altar, and she tells him she can't marry him. Sack loses his cool and goes after John, but Jeremy steps in and stops him. They kiss to applause, and all four driving away, and Chaz at the wedding with two women. As they drive, asking what's next, the Fujimora wedding coming up, and the girls get involved creating a backstory and fade to black. S:-Jeremy finally mentions there will be secret service at the engagement dinner-This part of the movie really drags the rest of it down.-Will Ferrells over acting just kills it; but the funeral crashing is funny  Wet Hot American Summer next weekend.  Webpage: https://theguysreview.simplecast.com/EM: theguysreviewpod@gmail.comIG: @TheGuysReviewPodTwitter: @The_GuysReviewFB: https://facebook.com/TheGuysReviewPod/

In Episode 9 of the Being Human is Good For Business Podcast we talk to Trilogy Effect partners Wendy Appel, Heather Marasse and Mary Beth Sawicki about New Year's Resolutions.Initially, we set out to learn about 2021's top priorities for leaders, but quickly shifted focus. Listen and learn how you can now finally stop striving to be your best self, and instead just relax into being the fabulous person you already are.   A great place to begin is to discover your Enneagram type. It's a framework that describes nine different, fundamental worldviews and their associated patterns of behavior. “When a leader gets a little overwhelmed, they often tend to revert to old habits,” explains leadership development expert Heather Marasse. “The Enneagram provides you the means to see the patterning in your internal landscape and supports you in choosing different and more effective ways to respond and behave.”Next, try completing the free Leadership Circle Profile online. This can set the stage for your year by identifying where you want to focus your development and growth efforts.The Leadership Circle Profile is benchmarked against more than 10,000 global leader assessments to evaluate how you go about achieving results, bringing out the best in others and how much you act with integrity and courage. It will also reveal if you are overly cautious and where you may have self-limiting habits that impede your leadership effectiveness. “Our clients find using the Leadership Circle Profile to be hugely enlightening and insightful,” says leadership coach Wendy Appel. “It allows them to see gaps and alignment between how they see themselves and how their teams actually experience working with them.”Once you've taken the initial steps with the Leadership Circle Profile and Enneagram framework, you'll have a solid foundation for your ongoing leadership development. Now you need to make a commitment to pursuing it.   “You don't need a self-improvement plan or a fix-it plan,” says executive coach Mary Beth Sawicki. “Because you're not broken. Taking on your development is a hero's journey. It requires compassion for yourself and for the process.”This journey will help you learn more about who you are, what you want, where you want to spend your time and energy, and what you want to focus your efforts on. In short, you'll have more agency over your work and your life. Learn more by listening to the show.  Here are links to the some of the tools mentioned in the show and other resources to support you in your commitment to your ongoing development as a leader:The Leadership Circle Profile (Free)Enneagram Typing CardsHow to use the Enneagram better to become a leader (Free)Brené Brown On The Power of Vulnerability (Free)InsideOut Enneagram: The Game Changing Guide for LeadersThe Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-DiscoveryMastering Leadership: An Integrated Framework for Breakthrough Performance and Extraordinary Business ResultsThe Enneagram in Love and Work9 Types of LeadershipTrilogy Effect Blog (Free)Please subscribe to the Being Human Is Good for Business Podcast on iTunes, Amazon, Google Podcasts, iHeart Radio and Spotify (links below) or wherever you get your podcasts.

We are wired to belong. Contemporary workplaces are modern-day tribes, and yet so many leaders treat them as transactional places of misery. In fact, 82% of leaders have been found to be lacking in the required skills to lead effectively. There is a serious deficit in the soft skills. Author, consultant and tech startup leader, Shawn Murphy talks with me about the key principles of belonging in his latest book, Work Tribes:The Surprising Secret to Breakthrough Performance, Astonishing Results, and Keeping Teams Together.  These are to be valued, welcomed, and wanted. We discuss the ins and outs of belonging, how it's an outcome, not a program, how you can't operationalise belonging but you can develop programs to develop leadership skills that foster belonging, how any behaviour change expected from a training program needs to be backed up by accountable tracking afterwards, why ‘hiring for culture fit' is a fast-track to building a country club and not a successful business, why hiring for ‘how you can contribute to the culture' is a better approach, how we need to have better conversations - ones about the playbook and values and purpose of an organisation - so we can avoid catty bitchiness in workplaces, and how we don't need to wait for permission or a program to create positive work experience. We can get started right now with self awareness.

Speaker and author Sara Canaday talks about modern leadership lessons in her book "Leadership Unchained: Defy Conventional Wisdom for Breakthrough Performance."

It's almost Thanksgiving, folks! So I thought I'd drop a bonus episode early so you could listen while you're traveling for the holidays. What's a "bonus episode" of Beginnings? These are episodes that deviate from "let's talk to a creator I admire about their childhoods" and instead take a peek behind the curtain of showbiz. As I get deeper into the business part of this industry, I learn so much more about the real structures underpinning why certain TV shows get made or why certain actors become household names, and I think it's worth talking about those things. So on today's episode, I talk to my friend Katie Walsh. Katie is a Los Angeles-based film critic and journalist, reviewing weekly film releases for the Tribune News Service, Los Angeles Times, and The Playlist. She is also a member of the LA Film Critics Association, has served on the jury for the Women In Film Finishing Fund grant, and has been a member of the nominating committee for Breakthrough Performance for IFP's Gotham Awards. Katie and I get into the nuts and bolts of being a film critic, the economics behind Hollywood awards, and tension that comes from commodifying your art.  This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on iTunes, follow me on Twitter.
