Podcasts about coaching habit say less

Michael Bungay Stanier (or MBS) is the founder of Box of Crayons, a learning and development company that helps organizations move from advice-driven to curiosity-led. They've trained hundreds of thousands of managers to be more coach-like and their clients range from Microsoft to Gucci. A few years ago, Barry-Wehmiller CEO, Bob Chapman, shared our leadership philosophy with MBS on the Great Work Podcast from Box of Crayons, which is where we were first introduced to his work. One of MBS's books, The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More and Change The Way You Lead Forever, has sold more than a million copies and is the best-selling coaching book of the century. The Coaching Habit very much resonates with our core principles at Barry-Wehmiller, you can see it in the title: “Say less, ask more.” In other words, listen. Really, truly listen. On this podcast, Michael talks about the difficulty leaders have in listening and why that may be, but he also gives practical suggestions on how leaders can be better coaches and help their people feel like they really matter

Being a leader is not just about the role, it's about the goal. The goal is to witness the growth process of those who work under you. A great leader knows when to be a coach and when to be in command, as both are necessary in the workplace. This week's episode features Jake Thompson. Jake is a leadership performance coach, keynote speaker, and author. Jake has spent more than a decade working with leaders and organizations worldwide on how to get better results for themselves and their teams. He has been featured in Forbes and has directly impacted over 80,000 ambitious leaders, including those with multiple AGC state chapters, BOLDT, Baker Concrete, MW Builders, and more. His motivational business workshops offer his listeners doable actions and useful tactics they can implement right away to improve performance and achieve better outcomes in their careers and personal lives. He joined us today to talk about how to shift leadership styles from commander to coach in construction. We start the conversation with Jake defining leadership and why a leader should be someone who people are willing to follow because they have the best interest in people's success. Jake then explains how the development of technologies helped people get a better idea of a healthy workplace and why the command and control style doesn't work very well at present. We also talk about toxic personalities in the workplace and how one troublesome person can sink your work culture to the point where you cannot get it back up easily. Asking good questions and listening carefully are key parts of good communication. Most people don't have the initiative to ask good questions or the ability to stay focused on a conversation. In this part of the episode, Jake explains what you can do to ask good questions, along with the importance of asking follow-up questions. He also explains some tips that you can follow to stay focused in a conversation. Jake ends the conversation by sharing his idea of how a new leader could figure out if they are successful in their new role.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [02.10] What is leadership? [06.00] How technological development built the awareness of a healthy workplace environment.  [10.00] Command and control workplace environment. [11.32] What causes the lack of flexibility as a leader?  [16.15] Protecting your workplace culture from toxic personalities.  [23.43] The structure of an effective coaching conversation.  [25.20] What initiates good questions?  [30.01] Asking natural questions.  [32.35] Improvement requires intentionality and time.  [34.22] What makes a good listener and how to stay focused on a conversation?  [40.06] The first 90 days of a newly promoted leader.  [43.33] A leader's ability to watch people grow.  [47.11] Who is Jake?    TIPS AND TOOLS TO IMPLEMENT TODAY A leader should be someone who genuinely has a great interest in the success of those who work under them.  A leader should have the ability to switch between command & control and coaching.  Leadership is a skill that needs to be taught. Allowing troublesome people no matter how much of a high performer they are, will eventually sink your culture.

"Managers have more of an influence on peoples' quality of lives than their therapists or spouses. Managers define reality for their employees. Whether you like your job or not, whether you're productive or not, whether you're happy or not -- inside and outside of work -- it often comes down to the manager. It's something to be conscious of." Eric Girard is the CEO of Girard Training Solutions, where he specializes in the development of new managers, focusing on their successful transition to their new role and on their team management skills. He's also the author of the new book Lead Like a Pro: The Essential Guide for New Managers.

Joining us today is return guest Michael Bungay Stanier, author of the new book How to Work With Almost Anyone: Five Questions for Building the Best Possible Relationships, to talk about the importance of working relationships and how to create ones that are safe, vital, and repairable. Listeners may recognize Michael from Episode 210 of Finding Brave, How to Begin Doing Something That Matters, where Michael shares his keen insights on the three key components of a worthy goal and what it means to commit to one. Michael is the author of six books to date, the combined sales of which go well beyond one million copies.

In today's conversation, we dig into the complex nature of working relationships, why they are so important, and how to have the best possible relationship with the person across the table from you. Michael shares why he felt compelled to write his latest book before outlining some of the essential questions he poses to readers and how they can improve working relationships today. He also provides a detailed breakdown of how to have a keystone conversation and explains how these can help you maintain and improve relationships by giving one another permission to check in and keep talking about how well (or poorly) you're working together. Working with people will always be messy and challenging, but when you commit to having the best relationship possible, incredible things can happen.

And how do we bring that about with the people we interact with?'” — @WorksMbs [0:16:17] “Part of committing to a keystone conversation opens up the possibility that people do self-work to become more articulate about who they are and what brings out their best so that when they're in conversation, they can have a more nuanced discussion and exchange of information.” — @WorksMbs [0:25:59] “Every relationship on that bell curve has a certain amount of potential to it. The question is, how do you fulfill as much of that potential as possible? How do you make the bad ones less bad? How do you make the average ones more than average? How do you keep the great ones shining?” — @WorksMbs [0:31:22] Longer Quote “I often think the greatest barrier to giving feedback is a lack of clarity on what you want to ask for.

"The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever" by Michael Bungay Stanier This book summary will teach you how to establish effective coaching habits to transform your coaching practice and create a more significant impact on your clients. The key to successful coaching lies in asking powerful questions that enable clients to unlock their own insights and solutions. Step-by-Step Playbook for Implementation: Develop the coaching habit by adopting the 7 essential questions: 1. The Kickstart Question: "What's on your mind?" 2. The AWE Question: "And what else?" 3. The Focus Question: "What's the real challenge here for you?" 4. The Foundation Question: "What do you want?" 5. The Lazy Question: "How can I help?" 6. The Strategic Question: "If you're saying 'yes' to this, what are you saying 'no' to?" 7. The Learning Question: "What was most useful or valuable here for you?" Practice the 7-Step Process for establishing a coaching habit: 1. Identify a coaching opportunity: Look for situations where you can support someone's growth, learning, or problem-solving. 2. Listen actively: Pay full attention to the person you're coaching, and resist the urge to offer solutions or advice. 3. Ask one of the 7 essential questions: Choose the most appropriate question for the situation, and ask it with genuine curiosity. 4. Pause and wait for their response: Give the person time to think and process before answering. 5. Ask a follow-up question, if needed: Use the AWE Question or another essential question to help them explore deeper. 6. Offer support, if requested: If they ask for your help, provide guidance or resources. 7. Close the conversation with the Learning Question: This encourages reflection on the insights gained during the conversation. Cultivate a mindset of curiosity: Shift your focus from providing answers to asking questions, and trust that your clients have the ability to discover their own solutions. Set boundaries and limits: Understand the difference between being helpful and overstepping your role as a coach. Encourage clients to take ownership of their challenges and solutions. Embrace the power of silence: Give your clients space to think, process, and articulate their thoughts without feeling rushed or pressured. Continuously improve your coaching skills: Stay informed about the latest coaching techniques and best practices. Invest in your professional development through workshops, seminars, and further reading. Measure your progress and success: Monitor the impact of your coaching on your clients' personal and professional growth. Use feedback and self-reflection to refine your coaching approach and ensure you're making a difference. In conclusion, "The Coaching Habit" by Michael Bungay Stanier offers invaluable insights into the power of asking the right questions in coaching. By implementing the strategies outlined in this summary, you'll be well on your way to transforming your coaching practice and making a lasting impact on your clients. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pressplayinspired/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pressplayinspired/support

It all starts with meaningful conversations. That's what Jenny Herald's guest on this episode of Dreams With Deadlines believes, and he's got data points to back it up.Devon Brown of Inciting Leaders shares insights on the evolution we've seen over the past decade from traditional top-down performance management techniques to a more continuous, ongoing framework that encourages ongoing communication.Key Things Discussed Why meaningful results start with meaningful peer-to-peer conversation The difference between (and mechanics behind) one-on-ones versus check-ins How to apply OKRs and measure for individual success within a team context Driving what matters: Choosing to emphasize behavior, delivery or both The future of performance management – what it looks like and what it needs Show Notes [00:00:35] About innovating the transition from traditional performance management to continuous performance management, starting in 2009 and accelerating as the function has shifted away from HR. [00:01:50] Why shifting the performance management model away from top-down annual event to ongoing, frequent conversations empowers managers and employees. [00:03:04] About the potent combination of Conversation, Feedback and Recognition (CFRs) with Objectives & Key Results (OKRs) at the heart of visionary leadership. [00:04:06] What poor management looks like versus a continuous, integrative approach that seeks to develop skills and adapt to situations on an ongoing basis. [00:06:33] Distinguishing between leaders and managers, where their skills overlap and why their tendencies are often (wrongly) conflated: Leaders create change while managers react to/execute on it. Leaders are people-focused while managers tend to be process-oriented. Leaders seek feedback while managers avoid or minimize vulnerabilities. [00:09:00] How the tension between organizational, team and individual application of OKRs can be managed to create a culture that supports progress across the enterprise. [00:14:30] Applying OKRs to and measuring for individual success – and growth – within a team context within a robust continuous performance management framework. [00:17:28] Why performance management is trending towards a team emphasis: Increasingly complex global and internal business structures The intensifying need for cross-departmental communication and collaboration [00:18:43] Defining “check-in” versus “one-on-one” conversations: Check-ins are ongoing conversations about performance, development, expectations wellbeing, and general feedback. One-on-Ones are solution-oriented, task-oriented, operationally-oriented and tactical. [00:20:25] A deeper dive into the big-picture, strategic nature of “check-ins”, including these four types: Assessing and adjusting to effectively manage expectations and goals. Short- and longer-term career development. Ongoing feedback conversations, both positive and negative. Overall, holistic well-being within a personal and professional context. [00:22:50] Why well-being conversations are key to the current workplace landscape: Pandemic-related recognition that people are not computers and have emotions. Potentially isolating hybrid conditions. The need to be in touch with whether workers are engaged – or not. To maximize retention and corporate loyalty. [00:27:01] How “performance” and “relational” currencies impact outcomes – and why. [00:29:13] Driving what matters: A look at which levers to pull in measuring for success and how they vary based on whether the emphasis is on behavior, delivery or both. [00:34:16] Distinguishing between the “what” (results) and the “how” (behavioral) in managing OKRs for both teams/individuals. [00:37:00] About identifying and incentivizing individual behaviors that build towards positive team results (without leaving behind a trainwreck). [00:41:20] Looking at the future of performance management: A move away from the individual towards team management through ongoing feedback. A tremendous need for enhanced leadership and training for stronger ongoing conversations at all levels of the enterprise. Integrative software systems to support ongoing agility and adaptability. [00:46:39] Quick-Fire Questions for Devon: What is your dream with a deadline? To impact 1,000 leaders in 2023 with positive downstream results across company cultures and individual lives. What is the No. 1 thing leaders can be doing to uplevel performance? There's no one thing, but frequent and ongoing conversations are essential. What advice would you give to people undertaking an OKR journey? It's easy to get excited by the idea of results, but stay attuned to how concepts like stretch and transformation actually fit into your workplace culture and history.

Sometimes you read a book and get a flash of insight - that “ah ha!” moment - about yourself and the ways you interact with others.  That happened to me when reading “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World.”  It helped me to understand and justify my interest in (this won't surprise you) EVERYTHING related to geriatrics or palliative care.  Also hat tip to Matthew Growdon for recommending the book. Today we talk with Bob Arnold, who has a long list of recommendations for books that have the potential to generate an “ah ha!” moment.  The podcast is ostensibly focused on becoming a better mentor, but as you'll hear, we discuss techniques that can help you cope with anxiety, stress, your spouse…the list goes on.  In reality, insights from these books can help you be a better teacher, a more curious person, as well as a better mentor or mentee. Bob urges you to buy these books from your local bookstore.  To that end, we're not including links with the titles below.  Please shop locally. As a bonus, Lauren Hunt, frequent guest on GeriPal, heard we recorded this podcast and wanted to add a couple books to Bob's list (she saw Bob give a talk about these books at the NPCRC Foley retreat).  Her list will strongly resonate with women in academics. See below for Lauren's two additions to Bob's list, with her personal commentary.

I had heard of course heard of imposter syndrome in the past but I didn't make the connection to myself until I read this article and saw my thoughts printed on the page. You would think that after several years of a number of career successes, the imposter syndrome would have abated for me, but rather I found it getting worse! I thought that I should know more of what I was doing by this point in my career, but instead I often felt like I had no idea what I was doing!  So I came across this book and found it very helpful. Young defines people who have imposter syndrome as those who have a “persistent belief in their lack of intelligence, skills, or competence. They are convinced that other people's praise and recognition of their accomplishments is undeserved, chalking up their achievements to chance, charm, connections, and external factors. Unable to internalize or feel deserving of their success, they continually doubt their ability to repeat past successes.”  I certainly related to the point that instead of successes alleviating feelings of fraudulence, the opposite happens, because it increases pressures to uphold one's reputation. The pressures can be intense, leaving one wondering if it's all worth it, and prompting fantasies of leaving the charade behind.  One thing I really liked about this book is that it places the imposter syndrome into the context of a patriarchal, misogynistic, racist society and organizations that create cultures that cultivate self-doubt (ahem academia). Imposter syndrome is a rationale response to a crazy world. We exist in a society and culture that actually judges women to be less competent at work (the studies she details are SUPER disturbing). It is not surprising we would internalize these norms. Also that being underrepresented in a field creates pressures not only to represent just oneself, but an entire gender.  She focuses on women, but these concepts obviously apply to people of color and other disadvantaged social groups. And of course men can have imposter syndrome too.  Another part I liked about the book is digging into the notion that one's success is due to luck, or being in the right place at the right time. She dispels these notions by pointing out that, first of all, luck is always present, even for people who are enormously talented and second, being the right place at the right time, having the right connections, and having a winning personality can sometimes actually be the result of skills or abilities, often the result of hard-work, hustling, and efforts to develop one's socioemotional capacity.   This is a self-help book, so throughout she offers some useful rules and self-talk for responding to imposter syndrome thoughts. She details different ways to respond to thoughts based on your competence type. For example, if you are a perfectionist, she recommends reframing to a “good enough” quality standard—a mantra I adopted from colleague during the pandemic and has been incredibly helpful for me over the past few years. For the rugged individualist who equate true competence equals solo, unaided achievement, the reframe is “competence means knowing how to identify the resources needed to get the job done.”  Another really important idea she raises is that women often have difficult choices to make about their career and its impact on other parts of their families and their other social networks that aren't as pronounced for men in our society. Sometimes it is difficult to disentangle these questions from feelings of imposter syndrome. For example, is reluctance to take on more responsibility at work or relocate because you feel inadequate or is it because of genuine concern about the impact on your family? Moreover, women (generalizing here) tend to place lower value on traditional measures of work success (e.g. money, power, influence) and greater value on connection and meaning. It can require a lot of soul searching to figure out whether one is avoiding career “success” out of fear or that certain paths are just truly not aligned with our values.   Finally, towards the end of the book, she introduces the idea of “faking it till you make it” and having chutzpah—i.e going for it. Of course, she's not advocating for a George Santos approach (no lying) but just having a little bit more of a mindset that you'll figure it out once you're on the job.  I'd definitely recommend this book if you've ever struggled with similar feelings or mentor people who might. She's got a breezy and relatable writing style that's easy to read, lots of great real-world stories, and piquant quotes.   The No Club:  Putting a Stop to Women's Dead-End Work by Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund, and Laurie Weingart  Summary of the book's premise:  Work activities fall on a spectrum from promotable and non-promotable (NPT).  Promotable activities are those that advance one's career. They use the word “advance” quite broadly to encompass various outcomes, like earning a promotion, getting plum assignments, increasing compensation, and enhancing marketability for other jobs. Promotable tasks are visible to others and increase the organization's currency. Some tasks may be indirectly promotable—they help you develop skills that have the potential to enhance your future success or access to future promotable work.  NPT's are important to your organization but will not help to advance your career. These tasks have low visibility (think committees and other service).  Too many NPT's can lead to work/work imbalance where promotable tasks get pushed to the side and advancement slows, or work-life imbalance, where advancement continues but at the expense of time in one's personal life (or both).  Although not exclusively a problem for women, women are more likely to take on NPT's at work. This is because they are both asked more often and are more likely to say yes when asked.  They propose both bottom-up (women saying no to more things) and top-down solutions (organizations making efforts to divide up NPT's more fairly and ensuring everyone is pitching in).  Before I read this book, I didn't fully grasp the idea that an activity would be helpful to the organization but not to my own career. Sometimes requests for participation in these activities come with a veneer or prestige and lots of feel-good gratitude. I personally feel a lot of guilt and worry about disappointing people when I say no to things. Even declining to review an article for a journal is accompanied by some stomach knots (it's so hard to find reviewers!) I also place a lot of value in collaboration and working in teams, and the idea of working in a culture where everyone is only looking out for themselves is not appealing to me.  But I'm also worried at the level of overwhelm I experience at times and perhaps some of you have experienced as well. How do we ensure that we are on sustainable path where we can stay in and build the world we want to live and work in?   The book also got me thinking about what is promotable or not in academia, i.e. what is the currency. I think we all know that grants and publications are promotable activities, but even within that there are hierarchies. Some of these hierarchies I think I understand: a data-based paper in a high-impact journal has higher promotability than an editorial in a lower-impact journal. Some of them I'm not sure about: is an NIH project grant more promotable than a foundation grant and if so why (bc higher indirects?)  Also, things like mentorship seem gray to me: senior-authored articles are evidence of independence and potential track to mentoring awards, but people often seem to place mentorship in the NPT category. I think having more transparency and discussion about what is promotable or not would be very useful.    Highly recommend this book for women, men, people in leadership, and employees. It's extremely well-written, nuanced, and eye-opening.   SPONSOR:    This episode of the GeriPal Podcast is sponsored by UCSF's Division of Palliative Medicine, an amazing group doing world class palliative care.  They are looking for physician faculty to join them in the inpatient and outpatient setting.  To learn more about job opportunities, please click here: https://palliativemedicine.ucsf.edu/job-openings  

Who knew that one could look so youthful yet call themselves an elder?! Michael Bungay Stanier (or as he's often nicknamed, MBS) and I had a good laugh recording this episode as we chatted about the values of leading like an “elder,” despite looking and sounding much more like a 28-year-old ‘bloke' (British version of man, chap…you can choose your own word). Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of a number of successful books including: End Malaria, Do More Great Work, Get Unstuck & Get Going, Great Work Provocations and most recently The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever. He is also the founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons (BoxOfCrayons.biz), was the first Canadian Coach of the Year, and is a Rhodes Scholar. MBS regularly speaks to audiences around the world about “The Coaching Habit” and doing more great work. Highlights include speaking at Google, the HRPA and SHRM conferences, the Rural Women of Manitoba Conference, and anywhere that's vaguely warm during wintertime in Toronto, his home. My highlight is his appearance on the podcast of another favorite thought leader of mine, Brene Brown.In this episode, we discuss legacy and time, what it means to be an elder, and how to make a meaningful contribution to the world that is aligned with who you are.

Have you ever felt “The Speed of Trust?” It's the “shortest route to results” (Robert Allen, author of Multiple Streams of Income), and “the one thing that affects everything else you're doing. It's a performance multiplier which takes your trajectory upwards, for every activity you engage in, from strategy to execution.” Stephen R. Covey I felt “The Speed of Trust” from the moment I asked our next guest if he would come on the podcast, knowing full well that he hasn't spoken on a podcast or radio show since around 2014, but I know that “when trust is high, communication is easy, instant and effective.” Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/kCRjLyCKE40 On this episode you will learn: ✔︎ Who was behind the marketing strategy that took Stephen Covey's 7 Habits Book to sell over 40 million copies worldwide (surpassing the popular Think and Grow Rich book) in 40 languages. ✔︎ How exactly did Greg Link come to meet and partner with the late Dr. Stephen Covey and what dots were connected as he looks back over his career now. ✔︎ How “Inspired Action” a term coined by Jack Canfield helped many leaders forge a path where no one had ever been before. ✔︎ What the Covey Organization learned from taking their book to Japan, and how they became the best-selling foreign business book in Japan. ✔︎ How Dr. Covey simplified the 7 Habits, and his vision for this book from the beginning. ✔︎ The challenges that Dr. Covey had as they began their work in the K-12 school market, how they overcame these challenges, and created The Leader in Me program. ✔︎ How they overcame daily obstacles they faced and used the 7 Habits to move forward. ✔︎ How he came up with the idea for the 8th Habit. ✔︎ How Greg's expertise was recognized in the motivational speaking industry. ✔︎ Why Trust was a trait that was the center of The Speed of Trust, Smart Trust and their new book Trust and Inspire. ✔︎ What advice did Dr. Covey give Greg Link that changed his life, and how can you use this advice today? Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning podcast, EPISODE #207, I'm Andrea Samadi, author and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and today's guest is someone I have mentioned often on this podcast. For returning guests, you'll be able to figure it out quickly. For those who are new, welcome. This episode is very special to me in many ways—not just with the fact that I consider myself beyond lucky to have had the opportunity to have met some of the world's most influential people at a time in my life (late 20s) when this influence was important for the direction that I would take, that would land me exactly where I am now, all these years later.   While listening to today's episode, my hope is that this story inspires you in some way, to take action with whatever it is you are working on as I take you on a trip that goes back over 20 years ago, with the lessons learned along the way highlighted, so that you can see how some of the top influencers in the world have faced challenge, had doubts, fears and worries, and even unthinkably difficult life challenges that they all had to overcome, just like you and me. What was unique with this opportunity that I had while working in the motivational speaking industry in the late 1990s, is that I was driven to keep in touch with many of the speakers who came in over the years, (as you can see from this podcast) and this platform allows us all to continue to learn and grow from them with what author Jack Canfield would call Inspired Action (that I'll cover in a minute).  Today's guest, I know we can all learn from which is why I knew I had to ask him to share his experience on this podcast.  If you think back to our final episode of The Think and Grow Rich book study, EPISODE #196[i] that we launched 2022 with, we opened with a quote from Bob Proctor, who said ““You can't just THINK and GROW RICH, you've got to do something with those thoughts” and it reminded me of meeting some of these global leaders, around 20 years ago, including our guest today, Greg Link, and that knowledge is power, but without action, it's useless. It's got to be Inspired Action as well, that comes from the heart. The seminar where I met Greg Link was a pivotal one, and we'll talk about this in the interview,  when Steve Jobs says, you can't connect the dots looking forward, only looking back. It was here that I met Mark Victor Hansen, who co-authored The Chicken Soup for the Soul Series with Jack Canfield, Presidential Historian Doug Wead from EPISODE #187[ii] and many others including celebrities like Melanie Griffith, and world class athletes who came in to speak. I met today's guest, Greg Link in the lobby of the Ritz Carleton in Pasadena, as he introduced me to his good friend Stedman Graham, the longtime partner of Oprah Winfrey, at the very beginning of this event. I remember at the time, I had just started to write my first book that would be published quite a few years later, The Secret for Teens Revealed, (that was originally called The Mentoring Excellence Now Program that was created when I worked with over 100 youth with physical disabilities for the Easter Seals Foundation) and when I met Stedman, and saw that he had just written a book for teens[iii], I remember that feeling of “oh no, I've missed the boat on this topic” but the message I would receive loud and clear this weekend from the speakers, was quite the opposite. I can still hear Doug Wead shouting out at the audience, in an attempt to motivate action from them, when he said, “Get up and do something” with this booming voice and I wrote down-move forward with publishing this book idea I had in my head. What shocks me to the core, looking back and reading my notes from this event, is that I had written Doug's age beside his name. 21 years ago, Doug Wead was 54. I'm turning 51 this year, and if you heard EPISODE #187, you'll know that Doug passed away unexpectedly last year, at the age of 75.  I don't know how old you are, but I do know that whatever age you are, that there's no such thing as “missing the boat” with whatever it is you want to do. If that's not a huge motivator, I don't know what is. Remember, you can't connect the dots looking forward, only looking back. Everything I needed for success in my lifetime was right in front on me that weekend. They were all standing a shoulders length away from me. If you were standing next to someone who could possibly change the course of your life, would you see it? After I had recorded our Top 10 episodes of all-time, I got this strange feeling to ask Greg Link if he would come on as a guest. I mentioned taking “inspired action” at the beginning of this episode, and recognize this was one of those moments when I sent the message to Greg, but hesitated. Why was I afraid to ask him to do this? He's always been there, ready to help when I've asked in the past. He did an incredible testimonial[iv] for our work in 2013, AFTER those days working in the seminar industry, and he even wrote a back of the book endorsement for The Secret for Teens.  I hesitated because I knew he had been off the grid for some time, but I asked him anyway. That's what Jack Canfield, who partnered with Mark Victor Hansen for the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series would call taking “Inspired Action.” I learned from Jack Canfield that those flashes of insight we get to reach out to someone, are important to listen to. I'm so excited to see what this Inspired Action will uncover, and know that whatever it is that you take away from these secrets to success from someone who not only worked with, but partnered with the late Dr. Stephen Covey, my hopes are that it inspires you to move forward, and take the Inspired Action needed, to move you in the direction of your goals. Let's meet Greg Link…. Welcome Greg!! Thank you for speaking with me today on what I am shocked is your FIRST podcast appearance? Before I get to the questions, I always like to open up with something that helps us to dig a bit deeper before we begin, and it has to do with the fact that you kept coming into my head the past few podcast episodes, as I do tie in past episodes to current ones, and after quoting you on the last episode, I thought “I've got to ask Greg Link to see if he would speak with me on my next episode” and I know we have kept in touch over the years, but I wasn't sure if this is something you would want to do, so I was a bit nervous before I sent you that message. I usually listen to those thoughts that come into my head (Jack Canfield called it taking inspired action)—so I wonder, if you would share what you have been up to the past few years, since I saw you last, and what did you really think when I asked you to come on this podcast? This leads me to go back to where your career began… Q1: How exactly did you come to meet and partner with Dr. Stephen R Covey, I know you've told me the story—I wonder if looking back, like Steve Jobs' incredible commencement address at Stanford, what dots were connected when you think back to that moment? Q2A: When I found that interview you did in 2014 with that Toronto radio station where you mention where your journey with Dr. Covey began--it made me wonder what qualified you to work in publishing and why did Covey pick you? What did you do that made Ken Blanchard refer you to Dr. Covey when he was launching the 7 Habits book? Q2B: 2 PART QUESTION--It's written everywhere how you took the 7 Habits Book to incredible heights, published globally in 40 languages. Can you explain what you did? Also 7 Habits is the best-selling foreign business book in history in Japan. How did that happen? Q2C: How did get Dr. Covey to “simplify” the habits to make them easier for people to understand? Why did you call him your recovering academic? Q3: I saw it when I first began, and so did you! I remember you telling me how difficult it was BEFORE Leader in Me launched in our schools. You gave me millions of tips BEFORE I went into the schools with my work, and I still met with challenge and obstacles. Can you share how difficult it was for the 7 Habits BEFORE it sold millions of copies worldwide, inspiring the Leader in Me curriculum? AND what led the 7 Habits into primary schools in the first place? Q4: We could spend a good week on my next question, because you've got some incredible life experience, with high levels of success and achievement reached, but I want to know about those times where things were difficult. Our audiences consist of educators, and those in the corporate workplace (around the world) who could benefit from your story that you told me where everything went wrong in Portland (I think) and Dr. Covey insisted that “the show must go on.” Can you tell this story, so we can all take some pressure off ourselves when it comes to presenting or speaking in front of others and wanting everything to be perfect? What about Distance Learning from Microsoft and Zoom? Q5: I think I like the 8th Habit the most, as that's what I've centered my life's work around (especially with this podcast). You mentioned to me that The 8th Habit almost didn't get published! What happened? 5B: What's YOUR favorite habit, and one that you find yourself working on the most? Q6: When I first met you, it was around 2002 when you came to consult with Bob Proctor and Mark Victor Hansen from the Chicken Soup for the Soul on their 3% Club seminars, around the same time Doug Wead came in, and I remember meeting you in the lobby of the Ritz Carleton in Pasadena, that's now called the Langham, and I remember that you were coming in to help impact change with the seminars back then. What do you remember about those days, and working with the seminar industry leaders? Didn't you also work with Tony Robbins and Werner Erhard? Q7: We've talked about your book with Stephen M.R. Covey, Smart Trust. I've got a Character Book on my laptop that I've held off producing (it was a compilation of lessons I used when I worked with schools) but will release it eventually. Trust has always been THE most important character trait for me. What was it about Trust that you thought was important for everyone to know-what was so important about Trust for you that you wrote a book on this topic? Q8: I know you've got another book on Trust coming with Stephen MR Covey (Trust and Inspire)…and in this low-trust world, I think this is the best time for this book. What's this next book about? Q9: I've got to ask a question about family, since I know it's an important part of your life, and the pandemic surely put the emphasis on family for us globally. Your family has gone through some really difficult times. For those listening, who may also be dealing with difficult times, what words of encouragement could you offer with your life experience in mind? Q10: As we think of all the habits, I like the 8th Habit the most, as it relates to our building our legacy (Find your Voice and Inspire others to find theirs.  What advice can you offer for people listening as they might be working on the legacy they want to create, thinking of Dr. Covey as an example? Q11: What's next for you? Trust and Inspire, and then what? Q12: What are your final thoughts? For people who want to reach you, what's the best place? I'll be sure to put your Twitter, Linkedin and social media accounts, and I'm sure when this goes out, everyone will be reaching out to you for an interview. A lot of excitement was generated BEFORE I even asked if you would do this podcast today. Greg, I want to thank you for your time today, to share these secrets that only you would know. I'm so grateful we met, and that you took an interest in helping me along the way to find my voice, and help others find theirs. Where I am today is such a huge quantum leap from where y mindset was back when you first met me, so I'm forever grateful for the help, ideas and support along the way. I'm looking forward to Trust and Inspire coming out next month and learning more from you moving forward.  This episode is far from over. My mind was blown while editing this episode as Greg mentioned so many book titles, that I do plan on creating a map of this episode, with his suggested book titles to guide us along the way. I do highly suggest grabbing this next book, Trust and Inspire, and taking on Dr. Covey's challenge of reading a book a week, like Greg has done over his career. His final challenge of writing out the 20 books that have changed your life, with your commentary, is something I will do in the future, and hope that this episode inspires you to take inspired action in your life.   See you next episode!

One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Albert Einstein 'We are human beings not human doings” Dalai Lama "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. "In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.” Albert Schweitzer “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations" George Bernard Shaw “At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou “In the end all you have is your reputation” Oprah “It takes 20 years to build your reputation and 5 minutes to ruin” Warren Buffett REFERENCES: [i] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #196 “The Neuroscience Behind the 15 Principles in Think and Grow Rich” https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/the-neuroscience-behind-the-15-success-principles-of-napoleon-hill-s-classic-boo-think-and-grow-rich/ [ii] Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE #187 in Memory of Presidential Historian Doug Wead https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/in-memory-of-presidential-historian-doug-wead-on-applying-leadership-and-character-lessons-from-the-greatest-us-presidents/ [iii] Teens Can Make it Happen by Stedman Graham, December 2001 https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Teens-Can-Make-It-Happen/Stedman-Graham/9780684870823 [iv] Greg Link's Testimonial of Andrea's Work Published Fed. 14, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTfN-6ZSmdY

If you joined us last week, you heard us talk about getting out of the way. We discussed how, as law firm owners, we often get in our team's way by failing to train them on policies and procedures and not letting go. This week, we're diving into this topic a bit deeper. We're talking about leading people and managing people. To get anything of significance done in your firm (including writing policies and procedures) and to serve your clients better, you need to leverage your team. You must go beyond managing them and truly lead them. In the episode, we'll discuss some of the benefits of leading our people over managing them. We'll also explain what it even looks like to lead and give you some tips on exactly how to do it. Tune in to learn more. Show Highlights: Why it's important to focus on people in your law firm. How your team can help you leverage your firm. The difference between managing and leading your team. Shifts to make to go from managing your team to leading it. How to hire the best people. Why you need to explain to your team members the “why” behind what they are doing. Top tools for leading your people. Subscribe and Review We'd appreciate you subscribing to this podcast and leaving an Apple Podcasts review. Reviews help others discover and learn what Law Firm Next is all about. It only takes a second and helps us out a lot! Supporting Resources: https://www.manager-tools.com/ The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More, & Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier  ACTION STEPS: First, schedule one-on-one meetings with every team member that reports to you. If you have someone who reports to someone else, do your one-on-ones for a bit so people see the example you are setting. Start a note for each person and capture their goals. I like to focus on both the professional and personal goals as you hear them. Then spend time in your one-on-one sessions coaching your team members so they develop a plan for their growth. Use the time to be an outside accountability coach. Remember, you don't always have to be the person who teaches. Just be the person who provides support and helps them get there.  Start giving more feedback. In the beginning, shoot for 10 positive feedback comments. Then move to the weekly 5-to-1 positive vs constructive ratio. *** Episode Credits If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.

Hey everyone! Welcome to the show. The topic we're going to dig into right now is Why Coaching is the #1 Leadership Skill Today. I have a special guest with me, who, in my opinion, is the best person on the planet right now to talk about this particular topic – Michael Bungay Stanier. Michael is the founder of Box of Crayons, a learning and development company focused on coaching. He's the author of The Coaching Habit – my personal favorite business book – and he has another one coming out on February 29th called The Advice Trap. I've already preordered my copy – make sure you preorder yours too (link at the bottom of the show notes). In this episode, we dive into: What it takes to be a good manager, 5 Reasons why people resist being more coach-like, Michael's definition of coaching, How coaching drives impact and engagement, Coaching conversations, and a whole lot more. Click that play button to listen! Don't forget to subscribe and rate us on Apple Podcasts! What is coaching? This is my definition. It's a behavior, and the behavior is this: can you stay curious a little bit longer? Can you rush to action and advice-giving a little bit more slowly? It's simple, but it's difficult. Impact, Engagement and Coaching. In essence, the two key drivers in an organization are impact, which is productivity, and meaning, which is engagement. Coaching is one of the key skills – I know it is, because research tells us – to drive both impact and engagement. What do you want? That is a great question to crack open a conversation, just to accelerate it into a “Let's get down to brass tax here”. It's an easy question to ask and hard to answer, because people often don't know what they want, but it's really powerful to hold them in that space. Because once you know what you want, it grounds you. When you're grounded – that's the basis for action and movement. Another thing I really love about that question is to ask it of yourself, particularly when you're feeling annoyed, discombobulated, knocked off balance, when things have been hard for you and you're struggling with a particular relationship. Just go, “What do I want?” Often we hesitate around difficult conversations, not because we're scared of the scary conversations; we're just not clear on what we want. Michael's advice for new leaders Be skeptical about advice, because often, they don't know what they're talking about. They're projecting all sorts of things. It's the same as feedback. Feedback often tells you more about the person giving you the feedback than it is actually useful for you at that moment.

Today's guest is Sara Gallagher. Sara is the Vice President of Client Delivery, a Senior Consultant, Speaker, and Learning Facilitator at The Persimmon Group. In this episode, we talk about: The lessons she's learned and unlearned during her career, Impostor syndrome, mindfulness, and self-awareness, The importance of self-inquiry, Time/Energy Management, and a lot more. Click that play button to listen, and don't forget to rate us on iTunes! Leaders need to be self-aware You have to develop the skill of self-inquiry. “What is this?” “What am I feeling?” “Why do I feel it?” And stay with that train of thought. Don't accept your first answer as true. If meditation is too woo-woo for you, that might be something you could do and achieve the same type of awareness and result. Be your kind of leader If you're familiar with Myers-Briggs, I'm an INTJ. INTJ's are always the villain. I'm Emperor Palpatine in Which Star Wars Character Are You?, I'm the butler from Downton Abbey. My boss, Bill, is an ENTJ. We approach things in very much the same way, except that he's very much an extrovert and I'm an introvert in an extroverted job. One thing I was doing wrong (for me) for a long time was I was trying to be an ENTJ because that's what was being modeled for me. And I was exhausting myself. I have things I bring to the table, but I can't work as many hours, in the same hours, in the same types of hours – meaning, always with people – that Bill can, and be successful. It's being honest about that, and realizing that to be at my best, I will have to approach things my way. Letting go of the belief that you have to be what has been modeled for you is really important. Sara's advice to New Leaders I think when you first become a leader, you rush out to the bookstore or podcast menu and you look for “How do I fix other people?” “How do I get my team to do x?” “How do I get them to do y?” “How do we achieve results?” And those are really valuable skills, but it's so easy to lose touch with your own growth and your own development, and to forget that you still have growing to do. Never invest more into someone's personal development than they're willing to put in themselves. Be others-focused, but also realize that that doesn't mean you're now the camp director over everybody's professional development.

Dr. Tarun “T-Bone” Agarwal is here today. T-Bone is a dentist, a podcast host, and passionate about helping other dentists turn their practice into a business. In this episode, we talk about the importance of planning ahead of time for the following year and writing down your goals and aspirations. T-Bone shares his wisdom from over 20 years experience and building a practice from scratch. We talk about the importance of clarity, and T-Bone shares the three key focus areas of patients, team, and clinical skills to go further faster. He shares tips on helping your team grow and you scale by learning to replace yourself. This episode is packed with so much knowledge that we had to split it up in two parts. Enjoy! You can find T-Bone here: T-Bone Speaks T-Bone Speaks Dentistry Podcast 3D-Dentists Tarun Agarwal on LinkedIn Tarun Agarwal on Instagram Raleigh Dental Arts   Show Notes:   [02:51] T-Bone lost his father-in-law last year and it put a damper on the year. They still grew, but it wasn't his best year. [03:22] The first step to moving forward is reflecting on the past. [03:39] T-Bone didn't set goals or plan out his 2018. He feels that this lack of planning showed. [03:55] He's actually a big believer in sitting down and writing out goals. This year he went to a seminar about planning out your goals for the year. [04:35] T-Bone was here in town for the seminar and decided to stop by the office for the podcast. [04:57] It's not only important to write out your goals. It's important to share your goals and have accountability. [05:14] Last week Sully and his office took half a day to recap what has happened in the past year of 2018. [05:50] It's important for the owner of the business to recap before he recaps with the team. [07:53] It's a good idea to map out what you are going to say before you discuss it with your team. [09:14] For T-Bone, 2018 was a non clarity year. If you don't have clarity you're going to be in trouble. [10:33] T-Bone makes the same resolution every year. That is to eat healthy and lose weight. [10:58] He feels that the best time to plan for the following year is in September and October, so that you really have time to set the stage. [14:10] To get further faster, you have to focus on your patients. You have to focus on your team. You have to focus on your clinical skills. [14:42] With patients you have to address their time, their fears, and their money. [15:12] Do more in one visit, make your dentistry last longer, and make appointments more convenient. [15:42] T-Bone's office is going to go to a 7:00 to 7:00 schedule. [18:26] Do something different to be there for the patients. [19:13] The easiest way to address fear is to offer sedation in your practice. Nitrous Oxide, oral sedation, or more advanced sedation. [22:47] Good old-fashioned TLC also helps address fear. [23:05] Money boils down to price vs affordability. [25:02] Affordability is about offering payment plans versus the price of the procedures. [25:48] Step two is addressing your team and how you lead your team. [26:17] Teach your team to learn how to replace themselves. Teach your team to know the score. Teach your team to own the space. [26:38] Replacing yourself is about personal growth. If you train a replacement, you are able to move up. [32:19] When you understand what's going on in your team members lives, then you can formulate a plan with those person. [33:18] Just listen and avoid the advice monster.

Welcome to The New Leader Podcast. I'm your host, Ian Daley. Today we're going to answer the question: How do you know you're ready for management? This episode is geared towards those who aspire to leadership roles but are not there yet, and are curious to know – how do you know when you're ready for that first management role? Today's guest is Catherine Rice, Vice President of Sales at Roche Pharmaceuticals, who has a great wealth of experience and knowledge in this topic. She is a highly effective and motivational leader who inspires improvement at district, regional, and national levels by driving performance and change management through tenets of simplicity, focus, and competitiveness. In this episode, we look at: Catherine's biggest failure and success as a leader How to know you're ready for management Going from “I” to “We” Being open to criticism, and a lot more. I hope you enjoy this one.   Biggest Failure As a people manager, it's natural to want something for someone, but they don't necessarily want that for themselves. You can see potential in them, and you try to push, and you try to get them there, there's a lot of advice giving, but nothing's happening because they're not there yet. They may not have the self-awareness nor the desire to want what you potentially want for them. If you ask me the reverse question, what some of my greatest successes were was helping people grow and develop and get those promotions. The failures were not recognizing when someone had the roadblock up and didn't want it for themselves, or they just weren't there ready to change, but I was pushing them to do it when they weren't there yet. It was really hard, and I had to learn not to get frustrated. I would resort into becoming too much of an advice giver. “You should do this. How about you try this?” versus “What is it you want, and how can I help you get there?” From “I” to “We” For me, the number one thing is, “Are they ready to make that transition from it's all about me to it actually has absolutely nothing to do with me?” That's a key distinction if you're going to be a strong people manager. It's tough, especially in sales when you have high performers. I've done a lot of reading in this area, and if you look at any group, those who tend to be promoted and put into management positions are the people who are super strong, key contributors, or individual contributors. These are your top sales person, your best physician, your best office worker. If they're really good at their task, they tend to get promoted. However, do they have the skills necessary to be a great people manager, and can they make that transition from “it's all about me and my results” to “it actually is about the team and the team's results”? That's a key distinction, and people have to have an awareness of that. Being Open to Criticism If you find yourself being open to people being critical of you, then you're ready to be a people manager. As a manager, it's not just about you giving feedback – you're going to get it yourself, and sometimes you don't necessarily like what people have to say about you as a person. You're in a spotlight role as a people manager; you can't hide. So you have to be open to that. And some people are, and some people aren't.

Do you coach people? Do you have staff you need to develop? If you just answered "yes" then this episode is for you. Michael Bungay Stanier joins us to talk about his book "The Coaching Habit: Say Less; Ask More and Change the Way You Lead Forever" . Michael has an English father and Scottish Grandmother. Yet, despite this, he lives in Toronto and he's Australian! Michael's book: The Coaching Habit The Coaching Habit https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coaching-Habit-Less-Change-Forever-ebook/dp/B01BUIBBZI Yes, "The Coaching Habit" is for business people, but if you interact with other people, this book will help you Michael Bungay Stanier - The Coaching Habit What's coaching all about? What drove Michael to get engaged with this whole area of coaching was a frustration that it always shows up with baggage attached – life coaching (a weird Californian thing full of touchy feely hugging) or business executives that have to be hard driving executives or sports coaching, which is about ordering people to run around a field. What are we even talking about. So, for Michael the starting point was to figure out what do we mean by coaching. Or being more coach-like. “How do you stay curious a little bit longer?” “How do you rush to advice giving just a little bit more slowly?” Human beings are advice giving maniacs. We love to tell people what to do. Yet, we don't even know what the problem is most of the time. But we are so trained to be the person with the answer. We are so trained to “add value” in the conversations that we have, that we LEAP to telling people what to do. There is something very powerful about SLOWING DOWN the conversation, just a little bit, with a few good questions. Because you get to your outcome more quickly, more effectively, more elegantly. Michael starts his book "The Coaching Habit" with a chapter on habits. How do you build new habits? Nobody needs any more information about how to show up as a better man, a better woman, Dad, parent, Mentor or leader. We know this stuff. “It's not a knowing problem, it's a doing problem.” How do we shift our behaviour? Habits are the building blocks of behaviour change. So, if you want to do things differently, or elevate the way you SHOW UP IN YOUR LIFE, like building a healthier, fitter, more compassionate life, what you need to know if you want to accelerate this is HOW DO I BUILD STRONG HABITS. Michael took the work of people like: Charles Duhigg – The Power of Habit https://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Habit-Why-What-Change/dp/1847946240/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1509648522&sr=1-1&keywords=charles+duhigg BJ Fogg www.tinyhabits.com Leo Babauta www.zenhabits.net The habit formula When this happens – that's when you define the moment, the trigger or situation where you are looking to change your behaviour. Instead of – doing the thing you want to change I will – define your new habit that will take 60 seconds of less to complete. This is the platform Michael uses to lead people into the coaching questions. The seven questions that form the coaching habit 1 Kickstart question = What's on your mind The problem it solves, is nobody feels like they have time for coaching, your in-box is way too big…I'm just really busy. Fact, you are, but Michael's belief is that if you cannot coach in 10 minutes of less, you just don't have time for coaching. So, get into the conversation FAST. What's on your mind is an open question. It says to the other person in the conversation, YOU TELL ME WHAT WE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT. Not everything, just what's on your mind. The thing you are excited by, or anxious about, or worried by or nervous by. That thing that's waking you at 4am in the morning, or the thing that's making you eat a slice of cheesecake at mid-night. What's that which is on your mind? This conversation will go to a place that's juicier more quickly. Have context for the conversation opener what's on your mind.
