Introduction This episode is a recording of a previous event “The Ladder of Vulnerability” you can find the full video at https://youtu.be/RugFkYK-FxoIf psychological safety is a culture of rewarded vulnerability, the most practical way to increase psychological safety is to model acts of vulnerability yourself and reward the vulnerable acts of others.But not all acts of vulnerability are created equal. What you perceive as a low-risk act of vulnerability might be high-risk for someone else. We call this the Ladder of Vulnerability. You have a ladder that is unique to you: it comes from your environment, your role, socialization and education, your confidence, and the way people treat you. In this live virtual event, Timothy R. Clark was joined by panelists Rafael Ramos from Coca-Cola FEMSA, Chantal le Roux from Amazon Web Services, Zaineb Haider from Cigna, and Tracey Walker from RSM. Together they discuss their own personal ladders of vulnerability based on the LeaderFactor vulnerability self-assessment. As a participant, you'll also have the opportunity to take the Ladder of Vulnerability self-assessment at https://www.leaderfactor.com/events/ladder-of-vulnerability-self-assessmentWhat is Psychological Safety (2:47) Psychological safety can be defined in five words “a culture of rewarded vulnerability”. Human interaction is a vulnerable activity. The question is what are we going to do about that? Are we going to reward the vulnerability of others? What are Some Common Acts of Vulnerability? (4:15)When we say that we are being vulnerable it translates into specific behaviors. The live attendees shared a few examples of common acts of vulnerability including:-Stating that you disagree-Admitting you don't know something-Sharing mistakes-A handshake-Meeting new people-Providing feedback-Being in a minority group-Sharing something personal-Challenging someone who has more authority than you. The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety™ Framework (7:15)Psychological safety is a combination of respect and permission. It includes four stages that social groups of all kinds progress through. Inclusion is the first human need that we need to satisfy. Each stage represents a higher level of vulnerability.  Inclusion Safety Learner Safety Contributor Safety Challenger Safety The Ladder of Vulnerability Self-Assessment (11:35)All participants are invited to take a 20 question self-assessment.  https://www.leaderfactor.com/events/ladder-of-vulnerability-self-assessmentMeet our Panelists (13:10)Chantal le RouxInclusion, Diversity & Equity Program Manager for Amazon Web Services Chantal le Roux is an Inclusion, Diversity and Equity Programme Manager for Amazon Web Services.

What would you do differently? How would this help you in everyday work life?Question (37:28) How has the culture (geographically and socialization) of which you are apart influenced your ladder?Question (42:15) How do we reconcile the need to fit in with the need to be ourselves?Closing Remarks (48:02)Cultures of rewarded vulnerability are cultures with high psychological safety. To improve psychological safety in your organization is to model acts of vulnerability yourself and reward the vulnerable acts of others. The 4 Stages Improve platform will help you uncover your team members' areas of greatest vulnerability and then help you reward that vulnerability through data-driven action plans.https://www.leaderfactor.com/improve-psychological-safety

Contact James:(319) 929-2604Coach@JamesMayhew.comI want to speak with you today about your company's DNA. This message is really focused to business owners and founders.So if you're a business owner - even if you've been a business owner before - I want you to think back to when your company was formed.What was going through your mind?What emotions were you experiencing? As I speak with clients about this, one of the consistent reactions I get is a smile. They smile because there's an abundance of experiences that are playing through their mind like old family videos and films.I've heard them say things like:I didn't know what I didn't know. I was naive.I thought it I had it all figured out.It was a blast.We were killing it.It was so much fun.As I listen, I try to be careful not to ask questions too fast because I want them to stay locked into that moment.After some silence, they'll start to go deeper…We had a really great group in the beginning.Everyone just knew what to do.We loved the competing with each other.We couldn't afford many benefits in the beginning, so we played video games together when we were slow.When I watch them tell me about starting up, I see joy. I see excitement. Most of the time as they're recalling this phase they're not making eye contact with me. They're looking at something on the wall or off into space.When their eyes return to mine that's when I know it's OK to ask another question.I can tell those are good memories for you. What are some of the reasons you were successful in the early days?And their answers are where I begin to help them rediscover their company's DNA.They tell me about times when they landed the big account and wondered how they could possibly serve them.Or a time when a major mistake nearly cost them everything.We pulled together. Everyone pitched in. Everyone sacrificed.We learned how to do things on the fly. It wasn't easy, but it was exciting.We learned about each other.And this is when I know we're getting to the best elements.But the reality is that these elements - the best things about the company's origins - in many cases are long forgotten. Or, in some cases, not forgotten, but they've lost their shine; their power.Here's what happens and why it's absolutely vital to help my clients rediscover this who they are, where they came from, so they never forget what makes them uniquely better.During a company's startup there's a nucleus of people; the brain trust.And there's a powerful vision they're following which is usually driven by the founder or founders.They constantly talk about that vision almost as if they're reminding themselves that “this is who we are, what we do, and why we're better.”It happens in meetings.It happens in the moment such as dealing with an opportunity or an obstacle, dealing a customer who is unhappy and threatening to take their business elsewhere… or worse.It happens as everyone is high-giving and jumping up and down because you just had your biggest month ever.What happens next is inevitable. You GROW.And with your growth you realize you must add more people to keep up with the work. So you start recruiting. There's something good about how you're recruiting in the early days… You have to sell great people on the opportunity to make a difference.You know you can't compete on pay, on 401k matches, or even vacation days.But you can compete on opportunity and the ability to do what you do best and have that be noticed by you and everyone else.Let's call this the 2nd ring. These employees mostly understand who the company is, what it does, why it's uniquely better, and mostly understand the tribal knowledge. 

It's time to stop overlooking one of the most important soft skills around, empathetic leadership. Listen as Host Rich Rininsland speaks with leadership experts Robyn Garrett and Christie Turley about why everyone should practice empathy in the workplace and how it can increase engagement, productivity, and team morale.

One of the nation's most popular keynote speakers and professional development presenters, this former Louisiana State Teacher of the Year has given presentations around the world (including 49 states, Canada, Mexico, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Africa, and Asia), helping audiences to interact with students on a more meaningful level. While inspiring educators to enjoy the job they once loved, she reminds them of how important they are in the lives of children, their families, and the world. Through her writing and her speaking, she highlights relevant and tested learning theory and tools for communication. She makes essential points while sharing poignant stories and lots of laughs. Debbie firmly believes that teachers need to be having fun and staying in touch with their passion to make their biggest impact in the classroom. When she's not working as an educational speaker and writer, Debbie enjoys spending time in Texas with her husband, Dr. Lawrence Silver, and spending time with their 5 sons and their families who live in 5 different states. You can find Debbie Silver on…LinkedinWebsiteConnect with Steph Silver and the MVP podcast on:WebsiteInstagramLinkedinFacebook   

On this week's episode of Culture by Design, Timothy R. Clark is joined by Wenche Fredriksen, Senior Vice President Head of Diversity & Inclusion at DNB, Norway's largest bank with over 10,000 employees. Wenche wears her heart on her sleeve as she tells Tim her story and explains how she found success in failing, being average, and being human. She encourages listeners to bring their full selves to work and advocate for psychological safety in their workplaces.It all started in a Norwegian fishing village (01:45). As the first in her family to finish high school, Wenche searched for role models in unexpected places. When asked, “isn't it enough?” in her current education pursuits, Wenche responds: “No, it's not enough.”Don't minimize differences, maximize them (07:00). Born in the north of Norway, Wenche speaks a dialect of Norwegian that wasn't commonly heard in her profession. Everyone in the corporate world spoke the southern dialect, so what did Wenche do next?Diagnosed as a burned-out perfectionist (09:05). Wenche is really vocal about the 3-year gap in her CV. What caused it? A serious case of burnout that left her questioning why she couldn't be human at work. Sharing doesn't lead to connection, sharing is connection (17:05). Why do we hide the laundry basket on our bed in Zoom meetings? Why do we pretend that life begins and ends at work? Being authentic at work means sharing things about your personal life. A unique motherhood experience (20:55). As the adoptive mother of two children from Colombia, Wenche has found insight into issues that she otherwise wouldn't have come in contact with. She talks about coming face-to-face with racism and micro-aggressions directed at her children, and how diversity in her family has contributed to her commitment to the DEI world. Use an abundance mentality (28:20). Wenche gives her advice on how to embrace the stories of others. She highlights the need to avoid compliance, chase commitment, foster respect, and connect with change agents who have initiatives of their own. A plug for psychological safety (35:00). Learn why psychological safety matters to Wenche, and why she values cultures of rewarded vulnerability. About Our Guest:Wenche Fredriksen is the SVP Head of Diversity and Inclusion and DNB (the largest bank in Norway with 10.000+ employees). Previously she worked at Accenture for 30 years, having roles in consulting, HR and as Nordic Diversity and Inclusion Lead for many years. Wenche is an inspirational storyteller who actively uses her life experiences to drive change and build a more diverse and inclusive world.Her work has been profiled in the media numerous times (Huffington Post, Personal & Ledelse, Ledernytt, Podcasts ++). Her work has been recognized externally on several occasions.

Welcome to Wellthy Living conversations episode 66.“You can't heal in a workplace, situation or institution that continues to harm you.“ - Nathalie MartinekWith this in mind in this episode, we are going to take a deep dive into burnout and bring awareness to things that contribute to workplace toxicity that rarely get talked about in workplace wellbeing conversations. What it looks like, sounds like, feels like, as well as the wellness initiatives that try to cover up the core systemic problems. There's much more to the burnout conversation than needs to be addressed and we do our best to highlight some in this episode. My guest, Nathalie Martinek is a relationship coach and consultant for leaders and executives in healthcare and related industries, globally. She helps leaders and executives navigate professional and personal relationships with narcissistic people using strategic communication and relational skills while managing risks to their reputation and career progression. The episode begins by defining burnout in two different ways and goes on to get more specific with the second, less commonly talked about definition.In this episode, we do not shy away from anything and exposure how buzzwords are often thrown around without considering their true meaning and are often used to create new industries.We look at imposter syndrome versus forced assimilation, moral distress/injury, and how some wellness initiatives such as resilience programs are used to gaslight employees and avoid addressing broken dehumanising systems. This episode is jam packed with thought-provoking insights.

Ben Horowitz isn't afraid to pick favorites when it comes to great CEOs. Like Andy Grove, the former head of Intel. Grove didn't put up with any nonsense, Horowitz says, because he was singularly focused on what it takes to achieve and maintain greatness. In our next show from KV's CEO Summit, Horowitz - the co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz - talks openly with KV Founding Partner David Weiden about gaining the trust of your employees, why executives often approach diversity the wrong way, and what he's learned from coaching CEOs who are furiously scaling up their businesses.

Welcome to Reimagining Company Culture, a series discussing emerging trends and priorities shaping the future of workplace culture and employee wellbeing. We highlight thought leaders who are constantly evolving their strategy and can provide insight to folks about how to address new business challenges.  AllVoices is on a mission to create safe, happy, and healthy workplaces for all, and we're excited to learn from experts who share our mission.In this episode of Reimagining Company Culture, we're chatting with Madison Bohannon, Director of People Operations at Chatbooks.  She has spent the last ten years with a focus on Employee Experience, Mental Health & DEIB.Tune in to learn Madison's thoughts on setting up workplaces to have gender parity, creating key pillars of a career clarity program, mentorship and sponsorship opportunities, and more!About AllVoices In today's workforce, people often don't feel empowered to speak up and voice their opinions about workplace issues, including harassment, bias, and other culture issues. This prevents company leadership from making necessary changes, and prevents people from feeling fulfilled, recognized, and included at work. At AllVoices, we want to change that by providing a completely safe, anonymous way for people to report issues directly to company leaders. This allows company leadership real transparency into what's happening in their companies—and the motivation to address issues quickly. Our goal is to help create safer, more inclusive companies.

This week on Culture by Design, Timothy R. Clark is joined by James Evans, Director of Knowledge Lab at the University of Chicago. They talk about how to activate diversity, how to harness collective intelligence, and the paradoxical interplay between innovation and execution. You won't want to miss the gems from this episode:What is computational social science? (2:30) Turns out, it's hard to explain. It's how we engage in collective action, thinking, and memory. It's reducing the data to make sense of it. It's using computation to create better social policy. In short, it's unprecedented.Insights and findings in collective intelligence (8:00). We all need help with maximizing collective intelligence. Dr. Evans shares his insights on the subjects. He highlights the power of diversity of experiences, perspectives, and identities across contexts. How to activate the diversity of their team members (12:20). Teams that are “flat” are more likely to combine elements in novel ways and produce disruptive outputs. Success is its own worst future failure (13:00). If something succeeds too well., it crystallizes itself and destroys any of the diversity that could make it better. We need to find creative destruction, not destructive creation. Many organizations are compositionally diverse but don't harness that power. Ways to activate diversity in a team (15:45). Big teams are less likely to activate their underlying diversity (more efficient, but less innovative). Cultural flatness dramatically improves innovation. Interdisciplinary teams maximize the possibilities of creation.Cultural flatness neutralizes hierarchies (23:00). We experience cultural flatness when we're agnostic to title, position, authority, and power distance. We can debate issues on their merits and remove the exaggerated difference in the chain of command.What really facilitates productive difference? (36:00) Dr. Evans discusses where innovation actually lies in teams and organizations. Older participants crystallize the system. Diverse expeditions are the real game-changers.Protecting boundaries and silos create a reservoir of ideas (40:30). This is why innovation is so difficult! It's a complete paradox. Teams cannot execute and innovate at the same time. We must surf the boundaries between execution and innovation in order to be successful.About Our Guest:James Evans is the Director of Knowledge Lab at the University of Chicago, which has collaborative, granting and employment opportunities, as well as ongoing seminars. He also founded and now directs the Computational Social Science program at Chicago, and sponsors the associated Computational Social Science workshop. He teaches courses in augmented intelligence, the history of modern science, science studies, computational content analysis, and Internet and Society. Before Chicago, he received his doctorate in sociology from Stanford University, served as a research associate in the Negotiation, Organizations, and Markets group at Harvard Business School, started a private high school focused on project-based arts education, and completed a B. A. in Anthropology at Brigham Young University. He is especially interested in innovation—how new ideas and practices emerge—and the role that social and technical institutions (e.g., the Internet, markets, collaborations) play in collective cognition and discovery.

It's so easy to bury yourself in self-doubt, especially if what you're aiming for is truly unique. The lack of a predetermined path forward sometimes means you need to clear one of your own.

Digital Marketing has become very complicated. Consumers have changed their behavior, Google is constantly polishing their Core Web Vitals, and new media channels are popping up daily. At the same time, we have other trends like stricter personal data restrictions while new technologies are emerging, and AI is becoming more prevalent when it comes to targeting audiences. This makes digital marketing trends hard to keep up for SMB's and even for brands who dedicated digital marketing teams. But is not hopeless because we have Digital Marketing Agencies who help businesses succeed. The top Digital Marketing companies have forged culture that helps the rest of us understand what is going on in digital marketing. In this episode, we speak with a Digital Marketing Agency that not only understands the trends but has built a unique company culture that supports its clients and helps them swim on top of the Digital Marketing Ocean rather than sink to the bottom.
