So, you can grow and increase your impact on the world and feel more fulfilled while you're doing it. I'm Tim Sweet and I want to welcome you to the Sweet on Leadership podcast. This is episode 35. Tim 01:10Hey, thanks for joining me, this week, it's going to be just you and me, we're going to be flying solo, somebody had come to me and said that they really liked the direction that the podcast is heading. And one of the things that they noticed is that everybody that's been on, it seems to have this really clear sense of who they are and what they do. And they have been able to take a big bold step, and change their life up. And they encouraged me to do an episode where we talk about giving yourself permission to make big change. What is it we need to do in order to shake ourselves up and to seek something better? So, what I've done is I've gone through some of the best questions that I've received over the last year, and there are dozens of them, and I narrowed it down to 10. And I'm hoping to get through five, maybe more today, if we can. Give you a bit of the response that I would have provided the person writing, and then build on those. So, if you're one of the people that have contributed these questions you're going to know, and thank you very much for listening. Thank you to all of you. Without listeners, this podcast doesn't have much of a purpose, does it? So, I'm really happy to find out that you're getting value from it, that you're enjoying the eclectic mix of leadership experts, and insightful visionaries that we've got joining us every week, and I can't wait to bring you the next 30 episodes. So, let me start off by saying, my goal in life has always been to not have people struggle. Nothing bothers me more than when I come into a relationship with a person and I understand that they've got something in their life that just really is, not just hard, but it's routinely hard. It's this pattern of struggle that they've got. When I work with teams, I look for the same thing. Where do we have patterns of unnecessary struggle? Work should be challenging, work should be hard, we should be applying ourselves and we should be enjoying taking our skills to difficult problems and projects and making them better. But working with people shouldn't be hard. And being a fit for a job shouldn't be hard. We spend so many hours of our lives in a profession that we deserve, to really feel like that profession is bowing us up. So, whether you're a leader, and you're used to talking to me or listening to the podcast with ears of a person that's leading a team, or you're somebody who's involved in a profession, or a pursuit, where they're really a subject matter expert, or they want to leave a legacy, I'd encourage you to listen to these questions. Each one of them I think builds on an aspect of that finding permission to seek out more, it doesn't always mean leaving a job either. Sometimes it can be reengineering the job that you've got, and looking very specifically for those elements of the job that you are struggling with. It's such a huge part of my profession now to work with executives who are climbing ladders of success or are getting more and more passionate about the areas that they operate in, whether that's leading people, or organizations, or ideas. So, let's dive right into it. And I'm going to just take the first five of these questions, and we'll see how we get on. Heck, it's my podcasts, so if we don't get through all of them, and you like this, make sure that you give us a follow, tell your friends and drop me a line, find me on LinkedIn and say, hey, you know, do more of that. Tim 04:50So, this person was writing, and they came to us from Ireland. And the question reads like this, feeling stuck in my current marketing role, what are some of the signs that I should be looking for telling me it's time for a change? I've been in this position for several years, and I'm torn, I'm not sure if I'm just experiencing a slump, that's gonna pass. Or if it's really time to move on. I also feel guilty, because I'm leaving colleagues that I've built relationships with and a product that I'm really proud to develop and bring to market. So, you know, when I encounter people like this, that are at this tipping point, and they need to decide if this is something that's going to pass, or if they're just in some sort of a temporary negative phase, or if it really is something deeper? Well, first of all, we'll try to identify the source of discomfort. I remember back in 2012, helping a particular executive through this and drawing a cartoon on a whiteboard to do it. And it's funny, I tell the story quite a bit when I open this whiteboard, and I seem to open it every week. I took a snapshot of it, later on, I coloured it using an app on my phone, and I can't seem to get away from this particular cartoon. Anyway, in the cartoon, we'll see this person that's sitting there in the doldrums. So, the first question that I ask is, is getting the work done frustrating? Or is the work no longer a fit? Is it no longer a good match for you? When we're looking at what could be the sources of frustration, they tend to be things that provide operational ambiguity, right? If you want to think of it that way? Do you have goals? Are they clear? Do you understand what's next? Is the team that you have, the right team? Is it large enough? Does it have enough capacity? And does that team possess the right skills? Do you have the right skills for the work that you're being asked to do? And when all of those are true, can you be appreciated for the work you're doing? Just this morning, I talked to somebody who was telling me that one of the concerns that they have constantly is that they will put in a great deal of effort. And I don't know if it's being appreciated, or if people are seeing it as progress. This is a particular issue that came up during COVID, as we had teams rallying together, and trying to just make it through. And that all-hands-on-deck mentality, we had people that were really going above and beyond. But when the danger passed, and we were all going through it, it was like organizations were almost too fatigued to acknowledge just how much work had been done. Because there was always another crisis right around the corner. As we've come through COVID, we are much more sensitive about how we spend our time and our money, and where our lives are headed. So, it's increasingly important that we feel that our contributions are valuable. And for no small percentage of the population, they have to be able to see their progress or be acknowledged for what they're providing. Okay, all of those things can create frustration. When we look at fit, we have a few other things to deal with. You know, one is, are we really happy with the style, the interactive style of the people that we work with? Do we enjoy their language? Do we enjoy their energy? Do we enjoy how they communicate? Do we enjoy how they raise problems? Is it something that fits with us that we can respond to? Or does it raise our hackles? Or does it bore us senseless? So, do we fit with the style of communication that's going on in the team that we're with? And if it's not the interactive style of people, it could be the task type that we don't fit with. Is it overly routine? Is it troubleshooting? Is it scheduling? Is it pure head-down, execution? Is it strategic? Some people love strategic work, and some people loathe it. Some people love tactical work, and some people loathe it. And many people love crossing tasks off a list. And some people loathe it. Is the task type of the work that you're doing currently something that you fit with? And then perhaps one of the largest ones, which likely warrants its own category, but it doesn't seem to be a problem with our friend from Dublin here. Do you have a connection with the values on the team? And if there's disconnect, is it small or large? Unless it's a big values disconnect, we can pretty much overcome any of these through good planning. And so to my friend here in Dublin, the advice was and remains that they should get very clear on exactly where do they feel this slump. Because likely, it's not a general malaise, it's a feeling of an expenditure of energy in the form of bad fit or frustration, which is causing them to not feel one with the team, one with the work, or like they're progressing. Once we can get that out in the open, then we can take very, very defined steps to go and get it. So, if you find yourself in a position where you're in a slump, get granular, ask yourself those questions. Is it fit, or is it frustration? And then take a look at if you see some answers, because usually those will give you a roadmap that you can approach with your team, or your leader, and talk about how we can shift some of the work. Tim 10:48Alright, the second question that came to me this read, you highlight a lot of people who have found their passion, similar to the person I talked to last week, but I don't feel like my skill set is relevant anymore. I work in market research, and the industry is automating quickly. And I'm assuming they mean the AI or something. And I'm worried about being able to compete using my current skill set, as a Gen X. Hey, welcome to The Club. It's frustrating for me to feel like my experience might not be enough this late in life, what steps can I take, as I'm starting to feel obsolete? Okay, this is a very, very common problem, especially as we're seeing people arrive late in their careers, there's a couple of options. I mean, one option is that you can try to find a place that's not using technology, that's a possibility. But let's just take that one off the table, because frankly, that means that you're having to settle. And I'd never think that it's a great idea to go and find a substandard industry to just hope you can sort of survive in it. But you do have a lot to consider. It's important to break down your experiences, not simply looking at the industry, how they've been applied. But what are you actually gifted at? Market research, as an example, has several transferable skills that can be brought into other forms of analysis, other forms of investigation, and all sorts of things. And this is going to be different for many different market researchers, these skills will not be consistent across the entire group, because each one of them will have gravitated to slightly different mixes of skills. And so in this case, it's really taking a look at you're not starting from zero here, you have skills, and passions, and interests, and habits, and a style all your own, that can be very, very conducive to success elsewhere. And it's just about finding where that elsewhere might be. The other thing to think about in this particular case is that you know, often people discount their skills or their worth because they begin to use the metrics that they're given at work. They're seeing themselves first through their role, or through an annual assessment that the company creates. We have to remember just how myopic that is, that is not a real-life expression of just how much is there. But if you tend to be in the same company for quite a while, that same industry for quite a while, you start to feel pigeon-holed. Really important to get out and take a look at what you really like doing and where else can that be applied. And you'd be surprised how successful people can be. I remember that in 2015, right in through COVID for some people, we had layoffs in the geotechnical space. Geologists are amazing at understanding the unknown, and really taking calculated guesses of where we're going to find value. And it doesn't have to be downhole looking for gold or oil or anything like this. They can be doing interesting searches for possibilities in all sorts of areas. Market research would be among them. But of course, we don't want to saturate that market any longer. Engineers said the same thing, engineers who realize just how artistic they are can jump all over the place. So, don't get too crammed into the idea that you're only one thing that you are your industry, if I can say it that way. Tim 14:31Hi from South Africa. I recently graduated from Limpopo Turfoop Graduate School, and I'm exploring different career paths. It's exciting but also overwhelming. There seems to be so many possibilities. I want to make sure I choose a path that aligns with me and my interests. You seem to talk to people who are so happy. How can I make the best decision? Martha. Okay, Martha, you know if you are coming out of school, maybe for the first time, maybe you're a returning student and upgrading or something. The typical advice is that you need to research all of your possible career options and make a plan. But, you know, we have to be careful what criteria we put against these. And that's one of the most important things when we're giving ourselves permission to look elsewhere, is make sure that we have become very, very precise in the criteria that we're looking at. You can't necessarily just look at what's the most prestigious first step or what has the biggest paycheck? Or which company wooes you to join them with all sorts of promises? And you need to be very, very precise. Well, how do you do that if you're not part of a company? The answer is kind of, we have to flip it, you don't want to look necessarily at the company first, you want to look at being fluid, becoming fluent in what aspects of your work fit, your workstyle, the type of work that you are performing in any given day, what brings you the most amount of joy. And then we look where others with a similar mix to you are also experiencing joy, we try to find our people somewhere, they don't have to be precisely like you, but they have to be in compatible spaces. If we always focus on that, if we focus on first looking at finding the best, the best choice among options that we've predetermined, already have a very high probability of fitting us, then we are going to be much more successful when it comes to choosing something that we can try out and really experience enjoying work in a certain industry. Enjoying a certain industry will never compensate for not enjoying the actual work you're doing in that industry. I help a lot of people 10 years down the road, that find out they really dislike the industry they originally chose. And they could have been choosing it for really wrong reasons. Just check out the last episode we put out with Julie Freedman Smith. I mean, we talked about exactly this right, getting stuck in the wrong place. One important note here is it's not about personality fit, you don't want to just look for people that have the same personality as you. Personalities are somewhat fluid as we grow and as we mature. Know, these things that we're going to try to understand and measure are much longer lasting, you can look for hints in what you find the most amount of fulfillment in or the type of work and contributions you find the most amount of energy and joy in. Things that you've experienced up to this point in your life and I promise you that if you focus on those things that make you feel the most productive, you will make a good decision. Alright, let's move right along. Tim 17:51So, we're on to our fourth question here. Let's see. So, let's do this one, feeling stuck in my career. It's not what I signed up for. I used to love the creative process. But over the years, I have been put in the lead of bigger and bigger teams. And I know leadership is your thing, Tim, but I'm much more interested in getting back to actually creating stuff. I'm jealous of my staff's freedom. And well, I like working with strategy. I just don't feel like I'm contributing. What strategies would you recommend for reassessing my career, possibly making significant change? I'm passionate about design. I wanted my legacy to be about design and not managing, my idols used to be Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry, how can I evaluate, I got to figure out who those people are? I know Frank Lloyd Wright is but Frank Gehry, I'm gonna research. How can I evaluate my options, and move to something that reignites my passion and puts me ahead again? Okay, so ahead, we'll assume, I'll assume you mean your legacy. Okay. Yeah. And that's what, how I would answer this question. Well, when I think about a person that's in your position, and I mean, the previous answers will still fit. I mean, let's take a look at, you know, what's frustrating, etc. But this is more of a career path discussion. You're already somewhere and you found yourself in a leadership position. And you miss being on the tools, so to speak, not uncommon, not uncommon at all. Primarily, and let me talk about why for a minute, primarily, because in a lot of organizations, the only way up is taking on management positions. Unless the organization is very large, and can handle more than one expert. There's less room to move up as a technical specialist, or a subject matter expert, or really a visionary in a certain idea space, that's much less common. But for all of you who run big corporations out there, it's absolutely essential that you have that pathway for people, otherwise you're going to really miss out on a lot of talent. The interesting thing here is when we think about being again, stuck in a sense of having taken the wrong off-ramp. And now we've got to, we've probably got to get back on to our main road, you're in a leadership position, you have leverage, you have choices you can make, you can decide perhaps, in your own strategy, maybe without even asking anybody that you're going to take a portion of the work, you're going to have a small portfolio of things that you directly contribute to, this is not a bad idea. It's not a bad idea for a couple of reasons. One, is, at least in the short term, while your staff perhaps need to be prepared for you to go somewhere, you could fill your boots with your own project, that is something that you could really, you could really do. So, we want to look at what leverage we have. And in a leadership position, you got a fair amount, and then what choices are you not currently making that you could be making, that could be, take on a portion of the work, there's nothing wrong to going where the work is done, and getting your hands dirty for a little bit. Not to mention, it frees up some leadership opportunities for others. It's not unheard of to have people demote themselves, or become a visionary subject matter expert, being sponsored by their business. The other thing, and this is not something that when I responded to this individual, this is not something that I would take lightly. But if you have this passion, and you really are concerned with legacy, understanding that being part of a. when you look at Frank Lloyd Wright, or you'll look at okay, standby. So, Frank Gehry, I just looked it up, he designed the Guggenheim and a few other things. So, these are, you know, both architects, they had teams that were underneath them, by all means, but they were the visionaries within this this organization. Does your organization have a visionary at the top? Or does it have a finance professional or something like that running it, I don't know your your specific situation. But in this kind of a case, well, why not take a shot for the top seat, or alternatively, why not decide to start your own show, and go out there and take all of the business knowledge that you have, and hire the right people that can do it, and open your own design house. I would say that talent is not a small consideration here. So, selling the farm and banking on the fact that you can be at the level of this, probably you should be making sure that you have a marketable style, and those kinds of things. There is a pathway here. And that's why I think, you know, taking some side projects, or working within the system that you're currently in could be an excellent way to do that. But at a certain point, if you decide that you are the big cheese, and you are the selling feature, embrace that, become that creator with the team in behind them, not somebody managing a team that's producing it in more of a commercial organization. Lots of choices there, always take a good look at just how much leverage you've got and just where you are making choices. Before you do, you've got to be very, very fluent in who you are, and where you want to work. You also want to be really sure that you've got something to sell that people will buy. But that being said, it is a wonderful life, to feel fully in charge of bringing what you're best at into the world. Tim 23:40Number five. Now, this is the type of question when I get makes me really happy. Like I talked about the person that inspired all of this is a similar question. As a mom returning to work, I need tips on balancing career progression with family life. Before I had kids, I was very aggressive and had set big aspirations. But how can I now manage both, effectively? It's tough to juggle my responsibilities at home with my work and still try to excel. I feel guilty for not being able to give my all to either space, what strategies can help me find a better balance and ensure that I can progress in my career without neglecting my family? Okay, there's a lot to break down here. The first is there's always going to be a struggle between vital and moral courage. Vital courage is the ability to do what's most important for you, that you can stand up for yourself, and your values, and your health, and all of these things. And then the next thing is you have to stand up for the moral courage of any structure that you're part of. One of those structures is going to be your family. Another is going to be your work and you might have others. In our family, we have the dance studio, that we're part of, we have the schools that were involved in, and we have other structures that were part of. I sit on boards and things like this. Okay. So, the first thing I'd like you to realize here is this balance is actually three ways, it's you, and your family, and your job. Your career aspirations are separate from the job. And your family responsibilities are separate from that job, or you. So, imagine trying to balance a set of scales, thinking that there's two baskets to add weight to, when there's actually three. And then you're not dealing with a, you know, straight across two-dimensional scale, you're dealing with a three-dimensional scale. No wonder we have difficulty finding a balance. The second thing is just the notion of balance, although we use it, it's more about an appropriate blend between these things. Because balancing something assumes that they are on two opposing ends, or in this case, three opposing ends of an equation. We need to think much differently than that. There's a lot of work that I do with people to have breakthrough structural sessions around understanding just what these decisions and what these opposing tensions are in their lives, and when they're in conflict and how we can resolve them. But the Coles notes is that it's very difficult to keep them in the opposition. And instead, we have to make a decision and design an approach that really properly prioritizes what we do first and second, and everything else becomes features of the priority. So, getting clear, in this particular, it is a false dichotomy. Because there's other things at play here. But when we think about balancing home versus career, being at peace with what comes first is really important. Because am I going to be fulfilling all of my responsibilities of the home and achieving my career aspirations when I can? Or am I going to achieve my career aspirations, and ensure that I am compensating or filling the responsibilities in some way that I have at home? Sounds like I'm being cute. But if you think about having a blend, where that future, where everything is properly blended, and serves each other, as part of a design, you now have one thing pulling you forward, one massive well-working thing, you're not torn between two things, or three things, right, so we have to get back into what I like to call work-life design, which is, what is the design behind care for ourselves and our family and our work and all of the areas that we choose to, I like to say lead, I really do. Because it doesn't matter if you're managing a team or something, you're taking on responsibility greater than yourself, you're really not passive in this, you are being really active and caring, both for yourself and others and people you've never met, right? So, my advice, in this case, is to stop first with trying to balance stuff, make some hard choices, make them well, and once you make those choices, you're going to find that you're in a much greater state of flow. Flow, structures, tensions, all of these things are very important to understand that it's part of a larger effort that I think is so important for all of you listening. And that is to become very, very fluent in your life, and what you care about and what you're out for, and to focus on those things that matter most. And to begin to cut away a lot of the rest. Tim 28:47So, whether or not you see yourself inside these examples, I'd encourage you to just ponder some of these questions and consider for yourself, do you have the job that you deserve right now? Do you have the work-life blend that you deserve? We get what we deserve in a lot of spaces. Do we have the car that we deserve, do we have the watch we deserve? Do we wear the clothes we deserve? Sure. But then we suddenly become a lot more passive when it comes to our own well-being. It's very easy to neglect oneself in one's path and to just soldier on and it never works out that well. Whereas, when we spend a little bit of time understanding ourselves and making great decisions that take us forward, and following the amazing advice that we've gotten over the last year for many of the guests that have been on the show, whether it is really focusing in on your passion or finding positivity in the workspace or dealing with your mindset or cutting away the noise or focusing on that true north. There's so many lessons that have taken place over the last 35 episodes that I really hope you take some time if you haven't listened to the back catalogue and find what resonates with you because the answers are there. We just need to love ourselves enough that we listen and are able to articulate them. I'm always available if you'd like to ask questions like this, if you have ideas for future podcasts, or you have other questions you'd like me to add to this list that I did not finish and will not finish tonight, feel free to go ahead and reach out to me and find me on LinkedIn.

So, we talk about superheroes with their superpowers in the movies, in books, and when playing with toys with our kids. We may have even believed we had the ability to authentically be ourselves and claim what makes us special and unique, what makes us stand out from the rest of the crowd. Then we grow up and stop believing in make believe and a lot of magic. What if we turned back to that and started believing in ourselves again? In our superpowers? In our ability to be authentic? In our dreams? In careers we love to go to each day?Erin Hatzikostas, my guest today, was so fun to interview and a firecracker of energy.

Marni speaks with Sage, Coach, Veteran Business Strategist, and Thought Leader, Kalyn Wilson. Kalyn's work experience includes influential non-profits, city government, part CEO, principal consultant, and Ph.D. candidate, and has cultivated talent management wins at Fortune 100 companies. Her life and career outlook are inspiring and thought-provoking. There are so many useful nuggets in this episode!   Key takeaways from this episode:   How to create your life on your terms Managing time and timing The power of waiting on inspiration The new world of work The key to flow   What Makes Kalyn So Special? [2:41]   Kalyn knows how to create the life of her dreams. She has always been an advisor. In her youth, her grandmother would let her know the family's business if she could keep up during conversations. She learned the power of listening and how to quickly read people's facial expressions. Her gift was to be emotionally intelligent enough to know how to respond.   It may not always feel like it, she says but people around us are always paying attention and becoming inspired by our lives in ways we can not always measure.   Recognize your influence and leverage it for good.   How to Get the Life and Career You Deserve [5:34]   Expanding the definition of what is possible for ourselves and using our inner wisdom to know when to take action is how we can create a life we feel in alignment with. Timing makes the difference between us catching a moment or reacting to a moment. The pandemic made a lot of us feel as though we missed our moment a long time ago, but we didn't. The time is now!   The management of time and timing is critical for success and wellbeing.   Kalyn believes that, for many people, it is the destination they focus on and not the journey they are on. If more people took the time to think about their life as a whole, as a journey they would make strategic decisions about who and where they want to be.   We are not machines. Everything needs rest and recovery. When we do not listen to our inner Self, our immune systems weaken and our bodies get stressed out with anxiety. We inherently know when to stop, we just need to trust our journey and do what is best for us.   Don't wait too late. Amazing things happen when we listen to the timing of the universe.   The New World of Work [26:13]   The pandemic made working from home the best alternative for employers to keep their workforces producing. Now, they may be motivated to get people back into the office simply because they have so much money invested in the existing real estate. If you prefer working from home, tell employers the value they get from giving you what you want.   Sometimes we play savior in situations that are not worth being saved.   She reminds us that we are moving out of the post-industrial era and work is changing. Previously, corporations held the power to tell us at what pace work should change. In today's world, talent has the leverage. Tap into what you love to do and where you love to do it. Collect the data, make the ask, and then make decisions about what best aligns with you.   Get clear about exactly what it is that keeps you feeling in control. Be aware of what you want. The key to flow is the willingness to balance wait and action. Everything doesn't need to be now, now, now. True creatives wait for their inspiration. It comes with divine timing. Have compassion for yourself.   Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Plug Into Your Superpower Retreat — Apply at DatingwithDignity.com/pluginform Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

Erin Hatzikostas is a former corporate CEO turned founder of b Authentic inc. She is an author, TEDx and keynote speaker, career coach, podcast co-host, and Running Man enthusiast. At the age of 42, Erin became the CEO of a 9-figure, 1,000 employee healthcare financial company where she led a massive turnaround, tripling earnings, and sending employee engagement skyrocketing in just three years. And just when things were going great, Erin decided to walk away from the corporate world. She realized that it was her reliance on authenticity that not only allowed her to say yes to the big-girl job but also to achieve incredible results. Through her company, b Authentic inc., she's on a mission to eradicate the all-too-fake Corporate environment by inspiring and enabling an army of people to crush their careers, without compromising everything else. In her new book, You Do Youish: Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers to Get the Career You Deserve, Erin Hatzikostas casts aside the decades-old career advice you've likely heard for way too long: lean in, executive presence, network, blah, blah, blah. Instead, her book is written to help you see that there's a different, better way to have success and get great results. NEXT STEPS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO: 1. Visit her website at bauthenticinc.com.

After becoming a CEO of a 9-figure company at the age of 42 and leading a massive financial and cultural turnaround, Erin decided to walk away and solve what broke her heart: the immense lack of authenticity in the workplace. She's now a best selling author, TEDx and keynote speaker, podcast co-host, and coach-sultant that has redefined what it means to be authentic. Her Six Principles of Strategic Authenticity (H.U.M.A.N.S.) turns what feels a bit like fluffy unicorn doo-doo into a much more nuanced, actionable, and powerful concept. Erin believes that authenticity isn't a way of being; it's a way of doing. Authenticity actually isn't about you either. It's about the connections, trust, and ultimately, success that comes from doing things less normal, more messy… more human. Today we scratch the surface on this concept and give you small but powerful steps you can take to start using authenticity as your new secret weapon to success. Her book, You Do You(ish): Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers to Get the Career You Deserve

Former executive, Erin Hatzikostas, led her business within her Fortune 50 using authenticity as a superpower for creating impact across her team. Erin shares how she developed her company and focus after leaving the corporate world to focus on helping people to embrace who they are and to be authentic. She is the author of “You Do You(ish): Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers to Get the Career You Deserve.”  You will enjoy her story and be drawn to her because of her fun-loving style and our playful banter as I interview her about how YOU can embrace your authenticityBe sure to subscribe to the show here: http://bit.ly/businessresultsradio

Today on She Sells Radio, Elyse is sitting down with Erin Hatzikostas to talk about elevating your business through radical authenticity. Erin is a former Corporate CEO turned Professional Pot-Stirrer. She's the CEO & Founder of b Authentic inc, and a best-selling author, TEDx speaker, career coach, nationally-published thought-leader, and podcast co-host of b Cause with Erin & Nicole. In February of this year, Erin released her first book, You-Do-You-ish: Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers to Get the Career You Deserve.    Erin spent her first 22 professional years in the corporate world, stepping into huge roles and finding massive success. Just as she was at her best, she had the itch to do something new. When she made the announcement that she would be leaving her position at her corporate job, many of her colleagues commented that they would miss her authenticity. This was a lightbulb moment. Erin wasn’t just walking around with an uninhibited version of herself, it was an intentional effort to be authentic. She had learned to use authenticity as her secret weapon--her superpower--and she wanted to show others how they could do the same.    There is certainly a balance of authenticity and how much you share. Authenticity doesn’t mean full transparency. You’re not going to go into a Town Hall Meeting and talk about your cuddle sesh last night. Defining authenticity is vital--it’s much more nuanced than just being yourself. Erin boiled down this concept into an acronym--HUMANS: Humility, Unexpectedness, Modeling, Adapting, Narrating, and Sparking. Once you understand these principles (outlined in her book), you can see the difference between “being yourself” and being truly authentic. From there, there’s no limit to being authentic.    There are factors that can hold people back from being authentic. Erin mentions that we tend to emulate behaviors we see around us. It’s easy to get caught in a vortex of following others because it feels safe. The question is how to get over that. It’s about the experience. One--it’s not about you. Authenticity is about how you can better connect with people. It’s getting people to recognize the similarities you share. Authenticity is also incredibly contagious. When you start to be authentic, you unlock a power within yourself. For most people, it’s more of a release than a pivot. You no longer have to be rigid! The underlying message is you can do things your own way. This isn’t about changing people, it’s about changing their addictions. You can ignite fires for others with your own authenticity.    Women have an advantage when it comes to authenticity, Erin says. She says often, women have been conditioned to shy away from higher positions.  There is a fear of compromise--sacrificing family time, health, and other important factors. When you start to empower authenticity, it cuts through the fear and allows you to commit to what you genuinely care about.    In sales, authenticity is massive. Of the six principles Erin talks about, Narrating plays a huge role. Trying to sell through traditional means doesn’t always work and sometimes, just doesn’t feel good. By incorporating storytelling and a certain level of sharing vulnerability, you open a window for relatability.   Erin's final tip is the 50/50 rule. Take 50% of everything you learn, and fill in the rest of the way with your own work. Innovate and evolve!   LINKS   bauthenticinc.com   https://www.amazon.com/You-Do-ish-Authentic-Superpowers-ebook/dp/B08W5C9HV7/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 @ErinHatzikostas

Erin Hatzikostas spent over 20 years in the corporate world, including becoming the CEO of a large healthcare company at age 42, where she oversaw more than 1,000 people, tripled company earnings, and increased employee engagement and company culture scores exponentially. In 2018, she decided to leave. Erin knew she was put into this world for something bigger. Her mission is to rewrite the workplace to make it more authentic. With that epiphany in her heart, Erin founded b Authentic Inc., through which she helps people find and grow the careers (and lives) that they love - without compromise. In this episode, Erin and I define what it takes to truly be authentic. We explain how authenticity is so much more than being unfiltered and describe how you can cultivate it. We discuss what prompted Erin to create b Authentic Inc. and describe her journey writing her new book, You do You(ish). We also underscore the importance of putting on a lab coat and being a scientist of authenticity, experimenting with life, continuously designing our life path as we go, and starting some shifts. “Authenticity is more than just being yourself. It is less about you and more about connecting with others.” - Erin Hatzikostas This week on Shift-Starters: The meaning of authenticity and why it's more nuanced than just being yourself How being authentic can make people listen to you more What authenticity isn't about and the power of (re)designing our lives Why the “find your true self” trope in the personal development space can be problematic The reason Erin created a movement around authenticity The 50% Rule and Erin's writing process for You Do You(ish) Why Erin cut 20,000 words of You Do You(ish)  Life as data points and the value of experimentation Resources Mentioned: Why You Don't Have to Compromise Your Career | Erin Hatzikostas |TEDxFarmingdale Connect with Erin Hatzikostas: b Authentic Inc b Cause Podcast b Authentic Inc on Facebook b Cause Podcast on Twitter Erin Hatzikostas on LinkedIn Erin Hatzikostas on Instagram Erin Hatzikostas on Facebook Erin Hatzikostas on Twitter Book: You Do You(ish): Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers to Get the Career You Deserve by Erin Hatzikostas Let's Start Some Shift!

Dr. Linda Sharkey and Morag Barrett, co-authors of The Future-Proof Workplace, share their views on how the industrial revolution left us with the broken and toxic workplaces we see today. Virtual enterprises and aspirational millennials do not thrive under command-and-control leadership. Linda and Morag talk about how a culture of curiosity, learning, diversity, growth, and purpose can future-proof the workplace to lend purpose and power to individuals and teams.   Key Takeaways [5:40] Linda explains that the rules of industry were designed for an era with different values and beliefs, such as the belief that people need to be controlled and managed to achieve their goals. The manual manufacturing environment is replaced by automation. ‘Command and control’ is still seen in the office. Linda would rather see ideas put in place to help people be the best they can be, and contribute fully. [9:59] Linda comments on command and control. She considers the pressure to produce and sell, which has been present since the Great Recession, causes leaders to revert to the default style of command and control to meet high-pressure deadlines. [16:09] Linda says more books are written on leadership than any other topic. Leadership has been an issue for thousands of years. The style of leadership that is engaging, focused on development and on the individuals you are leading, with heart, has always been successful. People have tolerated command and control, but changed conditions and technology have made it unsustainable for this century. [17:41] Linda considers how current massive changes may cause us to step back and ask how can we really get to that place we’ve all been talking about for the last 50 years, of belonging, of diversity, with a culture that values people, and makes them feel they can participate and innovate, and feel appreciated. Things will never be as they were in the 1960s, so embrace the change and transform along with it. [20:11] Morag studied authors Christophe Morin, Sebastian Junger, and Robin Dunbar for her first book, on the importance of professional relationships. Technology gives us an illusion of connection, but social media friends are not friends to call on in an emergency. The neuroscience of what makes us human — how we work together, is important. Morag cites Daniel Pink on autonomy, mastery, and purpose. [23:02] Linda stresses the importance of purpose. Purpose needs to be the rallying cause. People get much more excited about what they’re doing, when thinking from a purposeful perspective. Deep down, people do want to help other people, and want to make and do things that will make a difference and leave a legacy. [24:56] Connection and empathy are basic principles. Morag suggests pausing to check in, and connect, before you dive into the project. Relationships are critical to success in the 21st century. Linda says technology gives us information very quickly, but the emotional connection, and feeling of a relationship is what makes a difference to people. Google research shows that the best teams care about each other. [34:18] Morag says leaders today need to have these conversations: what culture do we have on this team, what are our rules of engagement, and how are we working together? Start creating a language and framework that effects change, at your level of influence, if you are not in the C-suite. There will be a ripple effect to the rest of the organization. [39:17] Deal humanely with people that don’t produce. But saying that a certain percentage will be cut is toxic. Look at your strategy, and look at your people. Who has the skills now to move the strategy forward, who needs development, and who would work better in another area, or at another company? Keep the workforce vital, to deliver on the strategy. Dump the rules, and grow people with the company. [43:49] Morag shares case studies. They helped someone pivot from the mindset of a treadmill career track to a portfolio career, where the same skills performed a different role, and provided empowerment and fulfillment. Linda and Morag helped a team move past the way it has always been done, to an innovative, influential solution. Linda and Morag helped an organization find hidden talent in-house. [47:18] Linda shares a cultural transformation story of a Canadian division of a global company. With six months of serious effort, they really changed how leadership acted, and how they were interacting with the company. They measured the results with psychometric tools. Over a year, they were able to turn the culture around to become a star division in the company. Use science, not hunches, to make changes.   Book: The Future-Proof Workplace: Six Strategies to Accelerate Talent Development, Reshape Your Culture, and Succeed with Purpose, by Linda Sharkey, PhD. and Morag Barrett Website: FutureProofWorkplace.com For a special 40% discount on the book.

Senge

Dr. Tasha Eurich shares her experiences as an organizational psychologist, researcher, coach, and New York Times bestselling author along with her new book, Insight for improving self-awareness. Tasha explains the dangers inherent in poor self-awareness in leaders, individuals, and teams, and she provides specific solutions for achieving the self-awareness that will improve corporate culture, and client relations while supporting sustainable profit. Listen in for key self-awareness practices, and to download her free self-awareness quiz.   Key Takeaways [2:38] Tasha discusses self-awareness at work. There are severe consequences in the workplace when people believe falsely they are self-aware. Having more self-aware executives brings financial returns to a company. Unaware behavior at any level has financial consequences. Tasha’s research says we live in a world where people don’t tell each other the truth, because the truth is uncomfortable. [6:10] Tasha worked with 50 people who had made dramatic transformations in their self-awareness as adults. Many common methods of finding self-awareness are more myth than reality. Jan and Jim were in the group of 50 test subjects. Tasha found that ‘unicorns,’ as she terms them, fight against personal and societal defaults to arrive at self-awareness. Unicorns seek feedback from people they trust. [12:08] Tasha discusses psychic frailty and psychic safety. Our biases tell us we are better than we are. Seeking feedback from others exposes our frailty. Psychological safety in organizations involves self-aware teams and organizations. It requires people to let their guard down and trust and support each other enough to tell each other the truth. It includes vulnerability. [14:50] We assume that the people that love us will tell us the truth, but research shows, they will tell us neither our weaknesses nor our strengths, without being asked. Ask them, “What annoys you the most about me?” You might hear something you’ve never heard before. It’s up to you to ask those questions. [18:18] Tasha gives an example of one of her self-awareness heroes, Alan Mulally (of Boeing Commercial and of Ford Motor Company). Tasha saw a person who has self-confidence, but who acutely appreciates his weaknesses, and is constantly questioning his performance. She illustrates this with an anecdote. [20:06] Tasha says unicorns are willing to admit what they don’t do well and question their own view. They also have self confidence. Tasha’s research differentiates between people who have unwarranted high self-esteem, and people who have self-acceptance. Self-acceptance is to appreciate your own strengths and weaknesses, and be willing to forgive yourself for your flaws, and find out the truth. [21:43] Tasha offers cues to look for in your team to see whether someone needs to be coached for self-awareness. Look for those who speak about themselves in a way inconsistent with their behavior, or with other’s perceptions of them. Coaching for those who are willfully disruptive is different than coaching for someone who is ignorantly ineffective. [24:48] Tasha offers suggestions on feedback in the organization. The mindset of giving feedback only once a year leads to embarrassment about problems that are not mentioned as they occur. At the very least, offer regular touch points of feedback that are informal and in the moment, to reap the biggest benefits of self-awareness and improved daily performance. Tasha tells how teams can do this. [28:07] Tasha offers thoughts on team awareness and individual awareness. Tasha tells of three building blocks for self-aware teams: a leader who models the way, the expectation and accountability to tell the truth, and  an ongoing process to stay self-aware. You need an agreement to constantly check in with each team member, and the collective team, to stay self-aware together. [36:56] First-time CEO’s can suddenly find an absence of feedback. Tasha talks about Ed Catmull of Pixar., who, on becoming the boss, knew that he wasn’t any different, but the second he showed up in that new title, he knew the employees saw him differently. [38:10] Tasha talks about the adversity of looking for a new job. Don’t wait until you wake up one day and find you need a new job. Ask yourself everyday what you did that day that fit your passion, or what you did today that you never want to do again. The cumulative effect of these questions can lead to self-awareness. Don’t wait for a big event, like a job loss, to catalyze insight. [41:48] Tasha explains the Candor Challenge. Self-aware teams commit to doing this at least once a year. It’s a process of individual openness with the full team about the positive, the negative, and areas for improvement for each member, and commitments for accountability. Tasha includes a worksheet to download from Insight-book.com.   Website: Insight-book.com Quiz: Insight-quiz.com Fill out a free quiz to discover your level of self-awareness.

Summary & Ideas for Action Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Liz Ryan - the CEO and founder of Human Workplace. According to Liz, the mistrust of employees is baked into organizations. Liz says,  “It’s toxic, it’s sick, and it’s bad for profitability, for shareholders, for employee health, and the planet.”  Liz advocates that leaders need to “be human,” and to make every workplace a human workplace. Trust your people. Liz considers infrastructure, control mechanisms, and performance appraisals, to be disgusting. She says It’s a bad message: “You are not a fully fledged, adult, independent, creative, vibrant, amazing person, when you’re at work.” Listen in to learn more about humanizing our workplaces.   Key Takeaways [1:51] Liz waited tables while in school. She dropped out, moved to Chicago, and found she was too young to wait tables in Illinois. She became an office worker, and later moved into HR, with no experience. HR workshops and seminars taught her the laws, but she felt that HR practices did not create a great working environment, or take really good care of employees and applicants. [3:38] In her first HR job, Liz’s efforts to improve the workplace and hire great people accompanied a growth in annual sales from $1 million to $200 million. Her second HR job was with a tech startup. While she was there, the company grew from $15 million in annual sales, into a $3 billion company. [6:21] Liz objects to the theory of HR’s and leaders’ roles being to guard against bad things that could potentially happen, rather than to hire people who are unlikely to do bad things. The mistrust of employees is baked into organizations. It’s toxic, it’s sick, and it’s bad for profitability, for shareholders,  for employee health, and the planet. Liz calls this entrenched system Godzilla. [9:54] Be human. Make every workplace a human workplace. Trust your people. Liz considers infrastructure, control mechanisms, and performance appraisals, to be disgusting. It’s a bad message: “You are not a fully fledged, adult, independent, creative, vibrant, amazing person, when you’re at work.” [10:58] The transactional nature of employment can obscure the real rewards beyond the check. If employees are paid fairly decently, they appreciate different motivations, such as intellectual growth and creative challenges. People need to connect to their own power source, whatever that is. Work can be art. See Liza’s article on rewarding employees for free. She wrote it in response to multiple requests. [14:30] Liz sees a paranoia, that when we let employees work from home they’re going to be watching daytime soaps and eating bonbons. In 2017, we are using an 1850s employment model of a factory with supervisors watching from a catwalk, as in a prison — it is hierarchical, bureaucratic “terror.” [17:35] The fix is to embrace your power. You can choose another job. You can speak up, or hold your tongue, because you choose to, not out of fear. Whether you are entry-level, or in the C-suite, you have the power to create a human workplace around you. That is adulthood. You are the CEO of your own life. [19:39] Liz says you must understand your path, and get that vision of what your life is supposed to be. For her, focusing on what you want, and where you are going, is not about sacrifice, but about choice and determination. Really listen to your gut and your heart, and follow them. Take a step every single day. Come out of your comfort zone. [21:50] Liz tells how she found her voice. She was shot down for using calligraphy on internal mail. She got no answers for questions about the roles of men and women at work. She asked questions in her HR role that had no handbook answers. She felt so strongly about things, that she just started speaking out. The job is to be a human, not a bureaucrat. Liz did HR from the heart, organically, and in the moment. [32:27] The story of Kitty Genovese’s murder, where 37 witnesses didn’t act, is compared to the workplace, where we have “permission” not to act, when it’s not our job. Workplace hierarchy gives us permission to mistreat people. Instead, take permission to treat people humanely. Run your career as a business. Do not tolerate things in your business that should not be tolerated. Do not abdicate control. [37:07] Liz asserts that somebody restricting your words and acts, because they pay you, is out of bounds. If you say something, it’s personal, and it will have a personal impact on someone. If you fear to say something important to you, say it anyway. It will work out better for you, even if you lose your job. [41:51] Liz tells a couple of frameshift stories involving young people, to illustrate a point. Generation Y employees are not impressed by authority and tradition, but want opportunities to work to their strengths. Not every employee has every strength, but the strengths they have can be great.     Books Mentioned in This Episode "Ten Ways to Reward Your Employees — For Free," by Liz Ryan Reinvention Roadmap: Break the Rules to Get the Job You Want and Career You Deserve, by Liz Ryan Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, by Robert B.
