Podcasts about Choice theory

What drives people to perform at their highest level? Contrary to popular belief, it's rarely money or status. During this thought-provoking solo episode, I reflect on my transformative conversation with Dan Johnson, who built a non-profit organization with over 10,000 dedicated volunteers. His powerful insight? When you lead with genuine humility and humanity, people will walk through fire for you.At the heart of true motivation lie three fundamental pillars: purpose, ownership, and mastery. Purpose goes beyond lofty organizational visions to connect daily tasks with meaningful outcomes. Ownership transforms people from passive task-completers into active co-creators who drive results. Mastery addresses our innate desire for growth and skill development in areas that matter.Yet beneath these pillars runs something even more profound – our deeply human need to feel seen, heard, valued, and connected to something larger than ourselves. As leaders, we have the privilege of satisfying these needs through simple but powerful daily actions: giving the gift of purpose through context and meaning, presence through undivided attention, trust through empowerment, and growth through development opportunities.This approach aligns perfectly with established psychological frameworks like William Glasser's Choice Theory and Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs, confirming that true leadership isn't about control but connection. When we prioritize people before processes, purpose before policies, and meaning before metrics, we don't just get good work – we inspire extraordinary performance.What gift will you give your people today?

In this powerful conclusion to my conversation with Hussein Paymozd, we continue exploring his transformational leadership journey. Hussein shares how he evolved from a more authoritarian, top-down style to a leader committed to helping his team meet their basic psychological needs at work.He explains how his communication shifted when he adopted an internal control mindset, moving away from external motivators like rewards and punishments and toward a more inclusive, inspiring approach. Hussein also reflects on the profound impact of translating my book, Mental Freedom, into Farsi—both personally and professionally.For leaders still relying on control-based tactics, Hussein offers wise advice—and leaves us with a memorable quote that sums up his philosophy: "Even if you win the rat race, you're still a rat." I couldn't agree more.If you missed Part 1, be sure to check it out for the full picture of Hussein's transformation.Interested in becoming a Board Certified Coach (BCC) through Academy of Choice?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ari Gerzon-Kessler, whose passion lies in uniting teachers and students' families in a meaningful, collaborative way. It will be no surprise to Choice Theory advocates that he aguides schools to foster understanding by actively listening to what families want and need from educators and providing that support.

Charles utilizes Choice Theory and Reality Therapy in his work and has penned several books: When a Woman Gives Up Her Heart, 42 Days: Becoming a Powerful Person of Patience, How to Overcome the Predator of Your Faith, Date Rape at 11 AM Sunday, and 42 Habits of Successful Parents.

Kiley's counseling license allows him to work across all states so if you are interested in pastoral counseling that is underpinned by Choice Theory and Mental Freedom, you can contact him through his website, Christian Counselor | Be Transformed Christian Counseling | Gering (betransformedcounseling.org).

Send us a Text Message.As instructional coaches and school leaders, we sometimes struggle to understand why teachers resist change or exhibit unproductive behaviors. In this episode we explore the research behind Choice Theory! Developed by psychiatrist William Glasser, Choice Theory emphasizes that people's behavior is driven by their desire to fulfill five basic needs. These needs include: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. By understanding these needs, you can empower teachers by recognizing that their behaviors stem from these needs, allowing educators to address the root cause rather than just the behavior itself.

We tend to think of the government as the solution to all our problems. But governments are people. And people respond to incentives. Welcome to Episode 33 of Everything is Everything, a weekly podcast hosted by Amit Varma and Ajay Shah. In this episode, Amit and Ajay talk about a branch of economics that they both love: Public Choice Theory. This is the study of how politicians, bureaucrats, special interests and voters all respond to incentives -- and why this often goes against the interest of We the People. This is why government failure is ubiquitous. This episode was first published on YouTube on February 9, 2024. For magnificent, detailed, juicy show notes, click here.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jeannette Markle, a former prosecutor turned parenting coach, among other things. Jeannette talked with me about her vast experience with a Canadian organization called the Association of Parent Support Groups in Ontario (APSGO), of which she is currently the president. Jeannette first encountered APSGO as a desperate parent looking for some sort of solution to "fix" her child who was displaying some scary, problematic behaviors as a 13 year old. After trying the traditional routes, Jeannette found what she was looking for and more with APSGO. She got the help she needed to repair the relationship with her daughter and she actually found herself. That was more than two decades ago and now she is the president of that organization and serves as a parent coach there. If you are struggling with difficult behaviors with your child, you may also find just what you need at APSGO via Zoom. Check them out at https://apsgo.ca.

In this episode, I had the great pleasure of interviewing Ben Eberhart, a man I met when he took Choice Theory training during the early stages of his recovery. Ben has moved on from the job he had when I met him to create a beautiful life for himself. He is a well-known local professional musician and family man. Ben is married with two young daughters at home and has found a career he truly loves as the Community Outreach for Arkview Recovery Center, a program he can really get behind. Join me to hear about this great place that helps people overcome their addiction and hear some of the wisdom Ben has accumulated over the years and how he credits AA, showing up, doing the work and Choice Theory as instrumental in his recovery. If you are struggling with an addiction or are a professional in the field who would like to check out Arkview, call 717-500-1111.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Lacey Glueckert about her experiences in working in her local jail with people experiencing the intersectionality of incarceration, substance use disorders and often, homelessness. It is definitely a population without a lot of support and encouragement, something Lacey provides whenever she can. She is now part of the sheriff's budget rather than having her work funded through a grant. She exposes people to Choice Theory psychology and helps them make better choices that more effectively meet their needs. She would like to be able to train the correctional officers at the jail in Choice Theory, as well, so the jail could become an internal, rather than an external control environment. If you would like to contact Lacey, please use the contact form on her website at Home (choicerecoverycounseling.com). Please note that the sound on this podcast is not the best, but the content is great, particularly if you work in the correctional system.

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing coach, Mary Meduna-Gross. Mary and I have reconnected after meeting several years ago through a mutual Choice Theory enthusiast. It was such a joy to talk to Mary again after all these years and find out we have so much in common. As I launch Mental Freedom, Mary is also launching a program of her own dedicated, not only to walk along her clients, but to actually teach them the skills they need to lead themselves, and then by extension, develop the skills necessary to lead others. Not a fan of the command-and-control brand of leadership, Mary offers a softer, more effective, leadership style. You can discover more about Mary on her website, Plena Vita |, particularly at her blog. She also hosts a podcast where she interviews other leaders at her Fully Alive podcast, which can be found wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Way Back Wednesday: Who You Have Chosed To Become Highlights from this episode of Crushing the Day:

In this episode, I interview my friend and colleague, Gloria Cissé. Gloria is a faculty member of William Glasser International and the co-owner, founder, CEO and Lead Therapist at the Southern Center for Choice Theory, LLC in Macon, Georgia. Gloria has been successfully hosting the Difficult Discussions in Diversity for the Glasser Institute for Choice Theory - US. In this episode we talk about why DEI is such an important topic for discussion, even after all these years, and how to make these conversations more palatable. She talks about how embracing difference has improved the quality of her life, and how it can for others, too. She, like me, believes having an understanding of Choice Theory aids the curiosity, understanding and appreciation of difference. She also shares two important choices she made that positively impacted her life.

In this episode, I interview therapist and partner in Citron Hennessey Therapy, Leonard Citron. I met Leonard after he had received his certification in Choice Theory and Reality Therapy and instantly knew he had a lot to offer. Leonard is from Ireland and has made a life for himself in New York City as an adjunct professor at NYU, a fellow at The Albert Ellis Institute and a partner in a therapy practice employing approximately 35 therapists in the greater NYC area.

If you'd like to contact Leonard directly, he can be reached at Leonard@privatetherapy.com.

Most history books explain the details of events and provide well-researched context to these events. But history isn't just about what happened, it's often about why. The root of any social change is often complex, human emotions.In his new book, France before 1789, Jon Elster explores the circumstances leading up to the French Revolution and the limits of rational choice theory in explaining collective action. In this episode of unSILOed, Greg and Jon talk about how human emotions like fear, anger, jealousy, and hope can motivate entire populations of people to change history.Jon Elster is a professor at Columbia University and the author of a wide range of books exploring Marxism, Social Science, Choice Theory, Constitutions, and Addiction.Episode Quotes:What can we still learn about Aristotle about emotions?35:04: Many social scientists, even today, talk about emotions as if it were one great category, but emotions do their work by virtue of their specificity, that is, by their cognitive antecedents and action tendencies that are also very specific or different from the different emotions. So if you are angry, you want to make the other person suffer. If you hate, then you want other person to disappear from the face of the earth.11:43: Emotions have a short half-life and various other features that don't actually form a formal model but form a complex of features that we can find in many situations where emotions are at work.Self-interest and rationality are not the same thing10:04: Self-interest and rationality are not the same thing, but people act against their rational self-interest under the influence of emotions with respect to vengeance, revenge is often a pointless, sterile act, but it's undertaken under the impulse of very strong emotions.What's the problem with studying leadership?13:55: The problem about studying leadership is that you can identify good leaders only by their results. There's no way of identifying good leaders ex ante to pick them. That would be good.

Beyond excellent storytelling, Andor highlights the problems which bedevil any organization: pettiness, career aspirations, incompetency, and zealotry. David Bizarro and Brian Brushwood join to discuss.

In this episode, I interview Deb Cox about all she is doing to make her school, Nundah, in Australia, the best school it can be. She does this by growing herself in many leadership areas, including Choice Theory psychology. She has made the decision to take her school through the Glasser Quality School process, where she gives both teachers and students their voices as part of the overall school community. She is very forthcoming about ways she has given voice to students in remarkable ways. She is both ideologically and financially committed to helping teachers grow themselves to be better in personal and professional ways. You can reach Deb at dcox4@eq.edu.au and she will share two reports with you. She also extends an invitation to come to Nundah for a visit if you ever find yourself in Queensland. I highly recommend it.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Stephen Tracy about the implementation of Choice Theory in public schools. Dr. Tracy has quite an educational background and vast experience in the public school system. He became interested in Choice Theory after hearing Dr. Glasser speak and knew he wanted to know more. Steve has had the experience of using Choice Theory in his various superintendent roles and shares his experiences in how it helps with building relationships with students and faculty, helps with grades and teacher retention. He also theorizes why he believes so many teachers are leaving education. To contact him to learn more, email him at stephen7@gmail.com.

In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview Jay Shannon, a supervisor of the YES program through Project Oz in Bloomington, IL. Jay uses a unique combination of Restorative Practices and Choice Theory to help some of the area's most underserved kids graduate from school on time with a plan for what they want to do beyond graduation. We talked about some parallels between Restorative Practices and Choice Theory and how Jay draws on both in his work with students, teachers, families and administration. Interwoven throughout the entire conversation was the supreme importance of developing connecting relationships. To reach Jay for more information, you can go through the Project Oz website at http://www.projectoz.org/ (www.projectoz.org) or call 309-827-0377.

Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Heather Harrison. Heather is a certified coach, head coach and owner of Shift One, an exercise physiologist, and a professor within the Fitness and Health Promotion & Massage Therapy at Durham College with over 12 years of experience in the fitness industry. She has a passion for and includes Internal Control Psychology in her coaching. She helps her clients and students reach different levels of self-evaluation and understand how it impacts their weight loss journey. Heather discusses in detail how we incorporate Choice Theory in our everyday lives and how we see this greatly as our routines were interrupted by the pandemic and even now getting back into a routine. In closing, she answers the question of how to help your children to have a healthy relationship with food, which she advises begins with your beliefs. Understanding your beliefs about food and weight will determine how you teach others and understand that weight bias does exist.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Patricia Robey about her role as an educational leader and supervisor of counselors in the field. Dr. Robey has been working in various capacities at Governors State University and a role she loves is supervising counselors. One of the tools she expertly utilizes is self-evaluation with co-verification. This is a skill few leaders possess. Most know how to provide their feedback about their subordinent's work, but few understand how to question that person to lead them to their own discoveries about their work. Listen to learn how to discriminate about the role you are playing as a leader. Is it most appropriate to be a teacher, counselor, consultant or coach? It depends. Dr. Robey will help you understand the determinants. For more on Choice Theory and Reality Therapy in the US, go to http://www.wglasser.com/ (www.wglasser.com).

As the subtitle How Generals, Weapons Manufacturers, and Foreign Governments Shape American Foreign Policy suggests, American foreign policy is driven by special interest groups, which results in millions of deaths for no good reason.

What, if any, theory of international relations best explains U.S. foreign policy outcomes? Why, for example, did President Biden withdraw American forces from Afghanistan, re-engage Iran on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, impose harsher than expected sanctions on Russia, and give more than expected support to Ukraine following the Russian invasion? Jack Goldsmith sat down with Richard Hanania, the president of the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, whose new book, “Public Choice Theory and the Illusion of Grand Strategy,” seeks to provide answers to these types of questions. They discussed Hanania's view that academic theories about American grand strategy cannot explain important U.S. foreign policy outcomes, and his argument that these outcomes are better explained by public choice theory, especially by the dominant influences on the presidency of government contractors, the national security bureaucracy, and foreign governments. They also discussed whether realistic complaints about these influences are consistent with realistic premises about how to discern the national interest and the value, if any, of international relations theorizing.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

We were lucky to have Kim Olver on this episode where we dove into some deep topics and needed that ability to transform some painful emotions. We talked about Roe v. Wade and the big feelings that come with the sudden shift in our political reality with the most recent leak. When such ginormous shifts take place, it can be jarring and leave us all wondering what our future looks like and if we should be worried about other changes.This week we are joined by one of the foremost experts in Choice Theory & Reality Therapy, Kim Olver, LCPC, NCC, BCC. She has a mission to help people get along better with the important people in their lives, including themselves, at home, and at work. Kim is a licensed counselor, certified coach, trainer, international speaker spanning more than 14 countries, the author of 20 books, and has developed a proprietary process called Mental Freedom™ that lets clients transform any painful emotions they are experiencing into something neutral or even positive. Kim talks us through how we can come to interpret feelings with such big topics and more, including grief, trauma, abuse, mental health, and more. Kim talks to us about G.L.O.W. and how while we might not get to pick the pain, we get to draw meaning from it and find the positive aspect on the other side of the coin. If you are ready to learn all of this, plus how to build a happier, healthier relationship with yourself, you won't want to miss this episode. For more from Kim Olver go check her out over at www.Olverinternational.com.The Clutching our Pearls team tackles the Roe v. Wade leak this week and talks about just what exactly this means for the feminist movement and how we as individuals can take in this news.

Have you considered the difference between a “leader” and a “manager”? There is a lot of debate on LinkedIn where leadership is put on a pedestal and managers are the poor cousins that are sometimes the target of derision.We are joined by our very first returning guest on the show.  We are honoured to be joined again by Irial O'Farrell, the founder and principal of Evolution Consulting and the bestselling author of 3 books, “The Manager's Dilemma”; “Smart Objective Setting for Managers”; and “Values: Their Not Just for the Office Wall Plaque”. Management is about the process of understanding what needs to be done, developing a plan and ensuring the right work is done at the right time with the right resources and at the right cost.A leader is more looking into the future and consider whether the business and team are working towards a great vision. A leader is looking up and out into the future and has a vision to create a new world.  A manager tends to look down at the immediate to decide what needs to be done right now.The truth is that we need both. Leaders without managers will result in a great vision that is never executed and is just a dream.  A manager without a great leader will get things done but will not necessarily have clear vision and direction that will change the world.It is possible for a single person to be both a leader and manager but it does require different skillsets and mindsets. There is an argument that high performance teams and organisations could get these important bases covered by different people working in unison.Being a great leader does not automatically mean that you will be a great manager and being a great manager does not automatically mean that you will be a great leader.Where some of the debate comes in where managers can get a bad wrap is in the leadership and management styles that some people embody.  If someone has an aggressive or directive style as a manager they are unlikely to be inspirational and give people a great work environment.  People want a work environment where they have purpose and meaning in what they do; where they feel valued; where they feel motivated; and where they feel like they matter.  Rooted in the science of Glasser's Choice Theory people have a psychological need for freedom including freedom of choice and freedom from oppression.  When a manager does not have a good understanding of this and gets into a mode of just “telling” people what to do then they will start to have an impact on people around them.So, in summary, we need both.  We need leaders; we need managers.  Managers do get a bad wrap in the leaders vs managers debate.  The issue of good and bad managers is a matter of style and approach and ensuring the right style at the right time for the right reason. The debate should be about great leaders and managers vs horrible bosses rather than leaders vs managers.You can purchase a copy of the book "You're a Leader, Now What?" as an ebook or paperback at Amazon- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZBKK8XVThe Leadership Project:Facebook Community https://www.facebook.com/groups/334571975014326LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/theleadershipprojFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/TheLeadershipProjInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mickspiers.officialWebsite - www.mickspiers.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPG9X7weoI4Xs3SreZab 

In this episode, I speak with counselor, professor, my colleague and friend, Bruce Davenport. Bruce was one of the first people to volunteer to try out my beta version of Mental Freedom in a group coaching setting. As a Choice Theory enthusiast himself, Bruce was curious about my new program. In this interview, he discusses the many ways he has applied the principles of Mental Freedom to his life. Bruce has a special fondness for working with married couples. As a happily married man for 40 years, he likes to share what he knows with couples who might be struggling. If you'd like to speak with him about your marriage, he can be reached at bruce@brucedavenport.com or you can see his website at http://brucedavenport.com/ (brucedavenport.com).

In this episode I interview an amazing teacher turned coach, Gretchen Cary. We talked about her early influences and the people who have influenced her perspectives on her education mindset and her current work coaching other educators. We also discussed lessons learned during Covid that have impacted her work in education. Gretchen also spoke of her renewed interest in Choice Theory in the classroom and her interest in Glasser's work. Finally, we discussed the next chapter in Gretchen's life, which consists of her part-time business called, still LIFE coaching. You can learn more here: http://www.createstilllife.com/ (www.createstilllife.com) or you can email Gretchen at createstilllife@gmail.com.

In this episode, I interview Bryan Zeman about his vast experience and knowledge putting Choice Theory to work in a school that was divided on their approach. He was able to find the balance between the strict, rule-bound approach and the permission, anything goes approach to education, while helping students not only learn their academic curriculum but also learn important life skills about responsibility and getting along with others. Should you wish to contact Bryan about his experiences, he can be reached via email at bryan.z@shaw.ca.
