A great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves.” - Eleanor Rosevelt   “When you manage people like things, you deny people the very qualities that bring real, unique value.” -  Stephen Covey   Authoritarian Command and Control says, ‘What can I do to you?' Trust and Inspire leadership says, ‘What can I do with you?' - Stephen Covey   “Conflict could be the very source of innovation, creativity, and opportunities if we trust each other and do it with compassion.” - Stephen Covey  

Accountability without compassion creates negative cultures that can't retain talent, while compassion without accountability creates avoidant cultures that can't perform. The need for both compassion and accountability is greater than ever before. On this episode of The Forward Thinking Podcast, FCCS VP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton is joined by Nathan Regier, CEO of Next Element and author of Compassionate Accountability.  Together they consider the importance of combining human connection and accountability in performance in ways that benefit all involved parties.   Episode Insights Include:   Compassion and Accountability Compassion is much more than sympathy – it means to literally suffer with another. Many problems don't need to be fixed, they simply need to be journeyed through together. Compassion needs to be a co-creative process. Accountability is the co-creative process of getting things done. Accountability and compassion can't exist in isolation, they have to work together.   Why does this concept matter? Conflict can happen in a way that brings people closer together when compassion and accountability are present. The compassion mindset allows people to approach conflict with a productive mindset. People struggle with this concept until they realize that compassion and accountability can change our world.   Defining a compassion mindset The compassion mindset understands the choices we make have a material impact on others and on outcomes. It is a fundamental choice that we have the opportunity to make. Value, capability, and responsibility are the three choices of the compassion mindset.   Bridging the divide with a compassionate mindset Mindset is the first essential step. Skill set is critical to ensure that the correct behaviors have been learned. The bridge between compassion and accountability is conflict. There is no other way to get to compassion and accountability than through conflict because the purpose of conflict is to create.   Navigating trust and conflict Conflict provides opportunities to build or destroy trust. ORPO can help navigate conflict - Openness, Resourcefulness, Persistence, and Openness to safety. Every interaction is an opportunity to choose drama or no drama. Ask yourself what would happen if you interacted with every conflict with respect.   Incorporating compassion and accountability into culture Consider how your efforts support human value. No matter your company's brand, it is an indicator of your company's culture. Culture will always drive the brand. There is no excuse for anyone to dismiss their lack of efforts for compassion - growth is always an option. Consider the end result that you really want, then act accordingly.   This podcast is powered by FCCS.   Resources   Connect with Nathan Regier — Nathan Regier   Get in touch   info@fccsconsulting.com   “Compassion doesn't mean to take away the suffering, it means to join with people and walk together through the suffering.” — Nathan Regier   “We can't have compassion and accountability in isolation, they just have to work together.” — Nathan Regier   “If compassion and accountability can coexist, it can change our world.” — Nathan Regier   “There is no other way to get to compassion and accountability than through conflict.” — Nathan Regier

“Let's do this together” with Dr. Nate Regier Power Quote: Conflict has a purpose  Description:One of the most frequent things I'm asked about is how to have difficult conversation. I have some thoughts, but I'm not an expert. That's why today's guest is here. What if we looked at conflict as an opportunity? What if accountability was something we did with people instead of to them? And what if through the process of helping people be responsible, we were also helping them be authentic human beings, increasing their agency and self-worth through the accountability process? Sound too good to be true? It's not, and Nate Regier is going to help us learn how to do it. Guest Bio:“Nate Regier, PhD, is the CEO and founding owner of Next Element Consulting, a global leadership consulting and training firm helping build cultures of compassionate accountability.

One of the most challenging aspects of our work is holding our people accountable. I've yet to meet a leader who doesn't wish that they didn't have to and that team members would do it for themselves. But we all know that's not how it works! Holding team members accountable can feel like a parent scolding or punishing the child, and no one enjoys that, mainly when dealing with a peer. Is there a way to effectively hold team members accountable without it turning into a dysfunctional parent-child scenario? The "Great Resignation," "Quiet Quitting," and “Remote Working” have all made accountability more critical than ever. How can we hold leaders accountable with compassion?  Well, the answer is something that our next guest has been dedicated to not only discovering but implementing. Our guest for the next two episodes is Dr. Nate Regier. Nate and his team at Next Element have pioneered the Compassionate Accountability framework, ushering in a new paradigm of leadership that helps organizations thrive in complex and challenging environments. Nate Regier is the CEO and founding owner of Next Element Consulting, a global leadership consulting and training firm that build cultures of compassionate accountability. Dr. Regier is a former practicing psychologist and expert in social-emotional intelligence, interpersonal communication, conflict skills, and leadership. Recognized as a Top 100 keynote speaker, Nate is a Process Communication Model® Certifying Master Trainer. He hosts a podcast called "On Compassion with Dr. Nate."   Nate is also the author of four books: Beyond Drama, Conflict without Casualties, Seeing People Through, and his newest book, Compassionate Accountability.

The "Great Resignation," "Quiet Quitting," and “Remote Working” have all made accountability more critical than ever. How can we hold leaders accountable with compassion?  Well, the answer is something that our next guest has been dedicated to not only discovering but implementing. Our guest for the next two episodes is Dr. Nate Regier. Nate and his team at Next Element have pioneered the Compassionate Accountability framework, ushering in a new paradigm of leadership that helps organizations thrive in complex and challenging environments. Nate Regier is the CEO and founding owner of Next Element Consulting, a global leadership consulting and training firm that build cultures of compassionate accountability.

Accountability and compassion are often thought of as two things that can't go together.  Yet they are not ideas that are in opposition to each other.  In fact, when put together they can have a transformational effect on the employees, leaders, and culture of your organization. In order to really understand how we can merge these two concepts I've invited Nate Regier to join me.  He is the Founder and CEO of Next Element, a global leadership firm helping build cultures of compassionate accountability.  And his newest book is Compassionate Accountability: How Leaders Build Connection and Get Results. We start with Nate explaining exactly what Compassionate Accountability and why putting the two ideas together can create psychological safety and build trust that will ultimately lead to stronger relationships and increased performance. Now that we know what Compassionate Accountability is, how can we practice it? Nate explains how he has developed a working definition of compassion that helps to shift our mindsets.  This mindset is about more than simply getting along it is about being an active participant in solving problems and being in the trenches together. Not only does Nate help us understand how to practice this mindset he shares how you can deploy it across your entire organization! In order to do that you have to be clear about what the behaviors norms are.  Nate lays out the six areas of organizational life where you can apply this new lens, how you can identify critical behaviors being manifested, where the gaps are, and where the opportunities for improvement are. If you want to see revolutionary change in yourself and your organization you'll want to listen to this episode and immediately pick up Nate's book! Three Key Takeaways: ·         Leaders that hold people accountable without also treating them as valuable and capable will not have employees for long. ·         Compassion is a teachable and learning capability.  And it can have a dramatic positive impact on people's lives. ·         If we struggle together and bring more compassion to the world then everyone wins.

Compassion is trending and has gone through quite an evolution.

In this episode, we cover compassionate accountability & facing difficulties head-on with Marc Lesser, author of Finding Clarity. He shares what it was like living in a Zen monastery for 10 years and the leadership lessons he learned while working in their kitchen. We also address strategies for conversations around high standards, accountability, agreements, and alignment; models for correcting negative self-talk; closing the gap between seemingly combative standards, such as speed vs. quality; and how to transition from avoiding conflicts to accepting them. Lastly, we close with a three-minute meditation that can help bring much-needed well-being into your workspace.ABOUT MARC LESSERMarc Lesser (@marclesser) is a CEO, executive coach, and Zen teacher. He founded and was CEO of 3 companies, and helped develop a mindfulness program inside of Google's headquarters. Marc was a resident of the San Francisco Zen Center for 10 years, and director of Tassajara, Zen Mountain Center, the first Zen monastery in the western world. He is the author of Finding Clarity."So to me it's really maybe about high standards and aligning around those standards. Avoiding those conversations is the problem and this is where I think the whole realm of emotions and emotional intelligence and self-awareness comes into play. Five emotionally intelligent engineers working together will produce much, much greater outcomes than people who are not really aligned, not really having those real conversations.”- Marc Lesser   Join us at ELC Annual 2023!ELC Annual is our flagship conference for engineering leaders.

Accountability is compassionate. Conflict builds trust. Switches influence our mindset. At first glance, none of these statement may seem to make a lot of sense, but 30 minutes from now you will probably be embracing the ideas behind them – ideas that lead us to powerful truths which will improve life and leadership. Today, we dig into compassionate accountability with a very special guest. 

Nate Regier PhD is Founder and CEO of Next Element, a global advisory firm specializing in leadership communication, and author of Beyond Drama: Transcending Energy Vampires, Conflict Without Casualties: A Field Guide For Leading With Compassionate Accountability and Seeing People Through.Nate was a guest on episode 17 of the Compassionate Leadership Interview in February 2020. Since then Nate has been reinventing, rebuilding and realising new opportunities for sharing compassionate accountability.Nate is launching a new book in July - Compassionate Accountability: How Leaders Build Connection and Get Results. A year ago, he was planning a second edition of Conflict Without Casualties but his team changed plans in order to respond to the challenges faced by companies coming out of the pandemic.The book reflects the tension leaders experience between paying attention to relationships and getting things done. Nate's understanding of compassionate accountability was in its infancy when he wrote Conflict Without Casualties. Since then, his team has developed the three switches of the compassion mindset, a framework for activating the behaviours required within a culture of compassionate accountability.Nate's latest book complements the many excellent books on Compassionate Leadership, as the only one with ‘accountability' in its title. He contends that ‘accountability' is an essential component of compassion, reflected in the latin root of the word, which means ‘struggle with.' We live in community with one another and that involves affirming human capability and being accountable to one another.In the book Nate establishes the relationship between the interactions connecting people, organisational culture, and brand. Culture is fundamentally the sum of the interactions between your people and, as Nate's friend Bobby Herrera has observed “brand is a lagging indicator of the quality of your culture.” Part 3 of the book is about implementation. It recognises that you have to “address common systems and processes that reinforce behaviour.” It starts with identifying behavioural norms, and then identifies the functional areas where processes need to reflect those norms. There is a tool for assessing compassion within the culture of an organisation.Nate maintains that onboarding, performance reviews, promotions, and reward systems in particular need to be aligned with compassionate accountability. Regular in-house training and practice are required to keep the materials alive.He acknowledges that “everyone is different, everyone comes on board from a different place, and it's not easy.” Sometimes the assumptions we hold can create barriers for us. The notion that compassion is soft can be prominent among these.Nate believes compassion can change the world. For example, he believes compassionate accountability is the next evolution of inclusion.

Do the words “Compassion” and “Accountability” seem like opposites to you? My guest Dr. Nate Regier views them as such an important pairing that his new book, Compassionate Accountability: How Leaders Build Connection and Get Results, as well as his work with clients, focus on addressing them together. In this interview we discuss the three elements that bring these words together. Be ready to take notes, or even better, buy the book because Nate shares so many practical strategies in it. Nate is the CEO and founding owner of Next Element Consulting, a global leadership firm dedicated to bringing compassion into the workplace. He's brilliant in creating models that foster positive relationships and workplaces…and then teaching clients how to use them to transform their organizations.  You'll discover: The evolution of Compassion as a term and as a practice in the workplaceThe two extremes on the Pendulum of CompassionHow three fundamental components of Compassionate Accountability apply to how leaders see themselves and their teamsPractical ways that leaders can bring these elements to lifeCase studies of organizations that have operationalized these componentsCheck out all the episodesLeave a review on Apple PodcastsConnect with Meredith on LinkedInFollow Meredith on TwitterDownload the free ebook Listen Like a Pro

Compassion and accountability are too often in tension - leaders feel they have to pick one or the other when in fact, practicing compassionate accountability can lead to a thriving organizational culture. Solely prioritizing accountability can create toxic work environments that drive away good talent. On the other end of the spectrum, being too nice can compromise performance and productivity. The solution is recognizing that compassion and accountability are not opposites. In fact, accountability is an element of compassion. In this episode, Nate Regier, Author of Compassionate Accountability: How Leaders Build Connection and Get Results, gives you areas to focus on the start building a culture of compassionate accountability and the common barriers for leaders and how to overcome them.

According to DDI's 2023 global leadership forecast, the top skills of leaders who boost engagement, retain great employees and create cultures that thrive is interpersonal communication skills. When it comes to interpersonal communication skills, one of the most common questions we get asked is, “How do you balance kindness, care and concern with attention to outcomes?” Everyone struggles with this tension. Yet, it's the holy grail for safe, thriving cultures. Here's the conundrum. Compassion without accountability gets you nowhere. Accountability without compassion gets you alienated. You can't win if you pick sides, and trying to perform a balancing act between them is no better. The good news is that leaders no longer have to choose.

Dr. Isha is an integrative transcultural psychotherapist, trainer, and supervisor in the UK with over three decades of professional experience. She's a lecturer, writer, and Reiki master as well as a published author, poet, editor, and, as Anne puts it so well, an amazing human.  The profoundly intimate cadence of this conversation no doubt stems from Dr. Isha's role as Anne's mentor.

What steps are you taking to build your emotional intelligence and mindfulness as a leader? An inspirational and mindful leader is aware of their own feelings and their teams' feelings and how they impact their effectiveness. To become this leader, you must intentionally build your relationships by being accountable and leading with compassion. In this episode of the Inspirational Leadership podcast, I speak with Marc Lesser, a CEO, executive coach, and Zen teacher known for his engaging, experiential presentations that integrate mindfulness and emotional intelligence practices and training. Before his business and coaching career, Marc was a resident of the San Francisco Zen Center for ten years, and director of Tassajara, Zen Mountain Center, the first Zen monastery in the Western world. He helped develop the world-renowned Search Inside Yourself program within Google – a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence training for leaders which teaches the art of integrating mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and business savvy for creating great corporate cultures and a better world. Listen in to learn how to become a better leader by building trust and connection with your team to make it easier to have difficult conversations. You will also learn the importance of bringing awareness and curiosity to your feelings and other people's feelings to become better at solving conflict. Key Takeaways: How to start appreciating your sacredness to become a better human and leader. How to understand other people's perspectives and our shared humanity with the 3-minute listening exercise. How to build trust and connection with your team to make it easier to have difficult conversations. How to become more aware of your patterns with conflict to notice when you overreact or underreact. How to create psychological safety in the workplace by bringing your vulnerability. Standout Quotes: “It takes some looking inward and some stopping in order to become aware of those beliefs we have beneath the surface.”- Marc [12:08] “Beginning an advanced lesson in working with conflict is separating the impact that someone's words or actions have on us and being curious about their motivation or intention.”- Marc [25:51]

How can organizations foster a culture of compassionate accountability? In a captivating conversation with Nate Regier, the CEO and founding owner of Next Element Consulting, the concept of compassionate accountability is explored. Nate emphasizes the significance of finding and retaining exceptional talent within organizations. He suggests that recruitment should focus not only on resumes but also on identifying individuals who possess a compassionate mindset. Moreover, he highlights the importance of fostering a quality culture and effective leadership to ensure employee satisfaction and retention. Nate delves into the idea of compassionate accountability, emphasizing the need for organizations to treat employees as valuable, capable, and responsible. He discusses the development of leadership competencies that align with what top performers desire, emphasizing the importance of values, capabilities, and responsibility. Nate also highlights the need for compassion and accountability beyond organizational boundaries. He notes that these traits are vital for addressing societal challenges, such as politics, climate change, and restorative justice. The main points throughout this podcast include: - Compassionate accountability involves valuing and respecting others while holding them responsible. - Self-awareness, effective communication, and leadership are crucial for cultivating a culture of compassionate accountability. - Recruitment for compassion involves finding individuals who already possess the compassion mindset and teaching it to those who may not have it initially. - Retention of talent is influenced by the quality of organizational culture and leadership. - Compassionate accountability is relevant not only within organizations but also in addressing broader societal issues. - Being happier at work means treating oneself and others as valuable, capable, and responsible. “Never before in our history of the world has the need for compassion and accountability been greater. Not only is it the key to thriving organizations during turbulent times, think about what's going on in politics, climate change. Restorative justice inclusion. These are big issues that are unfortunately dividing... when we really should be applying compassionate accountability.” Listen back: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4NpcfD0XU9CBNjYLVnAdeW Do you have any feedback or thoughts on this discussion?

It's about having the courage to take risks and the confidence to lead in a way that is authentic and genuine. But amplifying your influence as a leader isn't just about having a strong vision or a big personality. It's also about having the right leadership capability and being able to execute on your ideas and plans. The consequences of not having the right level of influence as a leader can be significant.

Finding Clarity: How Compassionate Accountability Builds Vibrant Relationships, Thriving Workplaces, and Meaningful Lives with Marc Lesser "An important and fundamental distinction to make is between 'difficult people' and behaviors or actions that we find difficult," Marc says in his book Finding Clarity: How Compassionate Accountability Builds Vibrant Relationships, Thriving Workplaces, and Meaningful Live. "The pattern of labeling difficult behavior as a kind of 'character flaw' is so pervasive that it has a name: attribution error. This refers to how, when someone does something that hurts or angers us, we tend to judge that person's entire character—and once we label them a 'difficult person,' all of their actions fit under that umbrella." Marc Lesser is a CEO, executive coach and Zen teacher with more than 25 years of experience supporting leaders in reaching their full potential, both in business and in life. Lesser helped develop the world-renowned Search Inside Yourself program within Google – a mindfulness-based emotional intelligence training for leaders which teaches the art of integrating mindfulness, emotional intelligence and business savvy for creating great corporate cultures and a better world.

Want to reduce the amount of drama and conflict in your life? My guest Nate Regier explains the drama triangle and the real causes of conflict…and why compassionate accountability is the solution to both. Nate's unique perspective about conflict can help you approach differences with another person in a new, better way. He's brilliant in creating models that foster positive relationships and workplaces…and then teaching clients how to use them to transform their organizations. You'll find that his model for compassionate accountability has immediate application in your life.Nate is the CEO and founding owner of Next Element Consulting, a global leadership firm dedicated to bringing compassion into the workplace. He's the author of three books, and this interview focused on his second book: Conflict without Casualties: A Field Guide for Leading with Compassionate Accountability. Nate hosts an excellent podcast called “On Compassion with Dr. Nate,” where he spotlights leaders committed to building positive cultures. You'll discover: The dynamics between the 3 roles of Victim, Rescuer and PersecutorWhy Nate describes Rescuers as “non-consensual helpers”What Nate means when he says, “Compassion is not for the faint of heart”The 3 elements of the model (Open-Resourceful-Persistent-Order) and why the sequence is so importantThe distinction between boundaries, ultimatums and consequences

Compassionate accountability means that feelings matter, thoughts matter and behaviour matters. The associated tools are helping physicians and surgeons deliver bad news to patients in a compassionate way, helping boards of directors lead their CEO's more effectively, supporting negotiators do a better job, turning regrets into commitments for the future. The applications are really infinite. Compassion is my passion admits Dr Nate Regier. Compassion isn't about what we do to other people, it's what we do with them. And that life is struggle, but struggling together makes it meaningful, it makes it productive, it makes it purposeful. We don't ever get time off when it comes to compassion, we are feeling, thinking and acting. “You can't nicey nice your way towards serious change, and big problems. Accountability without compassion gets you alienated. Compassion without accountability gets you nowhere” cautions Dr Nate. How can they co-exist in full measure without compromising either one of them?

Accountability is a common struggle for artists trying to do the work that really matters, because often we have to work alone, and it is not always easy to be self directed. If you struggle with this, you're definitely not alone, and it's okay to use the tools that you need to make things happen, even if from external sources. In this episode I share what accountability means to me, how I've found ways to create my own gentle accountability through coworking, and how you can strengthen your ability to follow through on your most important creative goals. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ COMPASSIONATE CREATIVITY COWORKING CLUB IS COMING SOON: A membership with weekly coworking sessions where you can get a ton done, with the camaraderie of like-minded creative people, with an option to ask questions and get coaching from me in a breakout room during the session for more support.

If you exist alone on a desert island, you can do what you want, when you want, and how you want. However, none of us have this luxury in the business world. We all rely on others to get things done. When we’re trying to get something done together, differences start to matter. According to Dr. Nate Regier, those differences show up in the way we communicate with one another. In fact, our very personalities are expressed in our communication preferences. Nate joins me on the People at Work podcast to explain how the Process Communication Model® helps us make sense of this. This is not just another personality assessment tool. It’s a model of personality and communication, that helps individuals understand themselves better and learn behavioural skill sets and self-management competencies. Not only does this model help us make sense of who we are and grow, it’s vital in helping leaders take care of themselves and people around them. By learning how to communicate better, we reduce stress and enhance compassion. Two key outcomes all leaders should be striving for. About our guest: Nate Regier, PhD, is the CEO and founding owner of Next Element Consulting, a global leadership firm helping companies build cultures of Compassionate Accountability®.

Accountability can feel like a sting or a scary deadline for many of us. It started when we were kids when we didn't do our chores or our grades were less than ideal. This version of accountability doesn't encourage us to show up and BE, DO and Have - it tells us to hide, feel guilty and question our worth. This doesn't allow growth which means your journey to become the boldest version of you will be limiting and stunted.  What if accountability was encouraging, exciting and joyful? I give you the necessary pieces to create compassionate accountability that actually WORKS for reaching your goals and boldly becoming you.

Most of us would agree that a component of leadership is making other people better. Frances Frei believes that to have progress, we need to have trust. Frances is the co-author, with Anne Morris, of Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader's Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You. She explains to Kevin that you need to be unapologetic because you can't wait for permission when action needs to happen. It's all about trust and empowerment. Their research shows that to bring out the best in one other person, you need to set high standards AND be committed to their success. Frances shares stories about companies where the most effective leaders use a combination of trust, love, and belonging to create success in their teams.

Happy Memorial Day. In honor of the holiday, we’re highlighting key lessons from the C-Suite Network Online Battleship leadership forum last month.   On this episode, we have Dr. Gary McGrath, CEO of Statarius & U.S. Army Veteran & Bob Pizzini, CEO of iFly Virginia Beach Indoor Skydiving and Retired EOD Officer, U.S. Navy.   Dr. Gary McGrath talked about how he was destined to be in the military, with a long line of family ties to all branches. He introduced Compassionate Accountability – which he defines as the ability to build relationships so we can achieve our goals together. He also tied the IGYB (I Got Your Back) mentality and why it’s important for your organization to adopt WGYB mindset. Listen to hear what ‘B’ stands for.   Next, Navy Veteran Bob Pizzini talked about the art and science of leadership covering the six key components of leadership. Some of them are obvious, others not so much. Bob also covers the one thing you can do everyone can do right as you wake up that will get your body ready to go. Hint: it doesn’t have anything to do with exercise, but exercise is an important part of Bob’s plan.

Battleship week is coming to a close. We hope you’ve taken with you some key insights from highly-decorated, battle-tested military leaders. However, before we wrap, we have 2 great leaders sharing their keynotes with us about placing the mission first, never accepting defeat, never quitting, or leaving anyone behind and why it’s important to take care of ourselves to become better leaders.  Today we have Dr. Gary McGrath, CEO of Statarius & U.S. Army Veteran & Bob Pizzini, CEO of iFly Virginia Beach Indoor Skydiving and Retired EOD Officer, U.S. Navy. Dr. Gary McGrath talked about how he was destined to be in the military, with a long line of family ties to all branches. He introduced Compassionate Accountability – which he defines as the ability to build relationships so we can achieve our goals together. He also tied the IGYB (I Got Your Back) mentality and why it’s important for your organization to adopt WGYB mindset. Listen to hear what ‘B’ stands for. Next, Navy Veteran Bob Pizzini talked about the art and science of leadership covering the six key components of leadership. Some of them are obvious, others not so much. Bob also covers the one thing you can do everyone can do right as you wake up that will get your body ready to go. Hint: it doesn’t have anything to do with exercise, but exercise is an important part of Bob’s plan. He also explains why leaders should never make decisions when ‘HALT’ – find that what that means.  Interested in Joining the C-Suite Network.

Dr Nate Regier is a trained clinical psychologist who has built a business on a beautiful idea. Diversity is a fundamental characteristic of the human race and an inevitable consequence of that diversity is conflict. He discovered in the work of Michael Meade that compassion is the mechanism that transforms conflict from a destructive force into a creative force. Nate is Founder and CEO of Next Element, a global advisory firm specializing in leadership communication, and author of two books: Beyond Drama: Transcending Energy Vampires, and Conflict Without Casualties: A Field Guide for Leading With Compassionate Accountability. In the 11 years of his clinical practice, Nate never quite came to terms with “diagnosing, pathologizing and setting myself up as the expert.” He much preferred coaching methodologies, consultation, liaison and training. So in 2008 he set up Next Element with some colleagues, to bring what they had learnt in the clinical space to the corporate world. His interest in compassion stems from his upbringing in Africa with parents who belonged to a Christian denomination that focuses on pacifism and non-violence. He became interested in how we might bring compassion not just to war-torn areas but also into the corporate workplace. Next Element has 80 certified coaches and trains, coaches and certifies people in healthy conflict communication skills so that companies can build cultures of “Compassionate Accountability.” He maintains that compassion without accountability isn't sufficient for navigating complex differences, whilst accountability without compassion – focusing solely on results and the bottom line – fosters alienation. A culture of compassionate accountability has three features – it's safe, it's curious, and it's consistent. Whilst some of Nate's clients are on the journey from good to great, for the most part, the executives Nate works with come to Next Element “because they want the suffering to go away”: they're tired of dealing with conflict within the organisation, they wish their staff would become more autonomous and capable, they wish people could deal with their own problems. The backbone of Next Element's approach is ORPO – open, resourceful, persistent and open. For example, if someone has said something that you consider offensive in a meeting, you might approach them later and start by disclosing how you are feeling (open). Then you share what you heard, how you interpreted it, and ask them for their intention (resourceful). The ‘persistent' element might involve explaining why it is important that we support an environment of safety and open-mindedness in our meetings. Then you could close by asking them how they feel about what you have said (open). ORPO is based on the idea that we are each responsible for our behaviours and we are not trying to fix each other but struggle together towards a common outcome. So far Next Element has worked with the leaders of organisations, but they have plans for making their training more accessible and affordable. Their theme for 2020 is “compassion reimagined.” They have a 2-hour webinar “Conflict and You” and they have just launched “Compassion Mindset”, a virtual learning course in compassion. “Leading out of Drama” is their compassionate accountability model. The UK National Health Service (in Wolverhampton) is already working with Next Element. Next Element has developed measures for compassion - “the drama resilience assessment” – that measures the capacity of an individual to resist drama and, instead, to turn it into something constructive. Nate rejects the idea that there is a giving and receiving end to compassion. In his view it is co-created between parties. Next Element practices compassionate accountability within their own organisation. They are a firm based on people skills and cultures and from the beginning they decided that they would be a laboratory. They've developed specific applications of ORPO for meetings,

Conflict is inevitable in relationships, with teams, at work, and in life. My guest today is an expert in compassionate leadership and conflict resolution. Nate Regier is an author, speaker, psychologist, and the CEO of a consulting company called Next Element. He shares with us how his unique upbringing shaped his view of compassion and drove him to develop a methodology to better solve conflict without casualties. He explains what the compassion cycle is and how we can resolve even the most difficult conflicts at work and at home.  And, when we do this, our teams.   Key Takeaways: [4:54] Nate’s family did missionary work in Africa, which led to him living there and attending an ambassador school that represented 35 nationalities. He knows firsthand what it is like to exist in a culture with different perspectives and languages. [7:40] Nate has had to reconcile the two driving forces inside him of being both very competitive and goal-oriented versus the ethnic setting of pacificism and peace. [13:43] Nate and his team started Next Element when they saw a great need for a model that encouraged mental health mixed with productivity in the workplace. [16:45] We often think that conflict needs to be managed, mediated, or reduced when it is simply just a gap between what we want and what we are experiencing. It is neither good or bad, but the gap takes on energy depending on how we assign and label it. At Next Element, Nate and his team look at what people do with the energy, and the psychological behavioral dynamic behind the gap. [18:04] Conflict becomes destructive when we bring our need to be justified in, along with the conditions of being okay that we put on each other. [24:04] It’s the uncomfortable conversations inside the room that get messy, but these are also the ones that truly address and solve conflict. [25:49] A compassion cycle is made up of three core skills that people can learn to apply and manifest compassion: openness, resourcefulness, and persistence. [27:37] A common conflict in the workplace is unmet expectations. When the team has developed a safe environment, they can begin to be curious about what is at stake, how both parties are feeling, and the true emotions attached to the situation. [43:12] Nate’s new book, Seeing People Through is about looking through the lens of dealing with individual differences in an authentic manner. [44:58] LinkedIn is one example of a company Nate feels is doing it right in the area of team development and conflict resolution.   Resources: Purchase Bring Your Whole Self to Work and gain access to bonus material Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on Twitter Mike Robbins on Instagram TED Radio Hour Conflict without Casualties: A Field Guide for Leading with Compassionate Accountability, by Nate Regier, Ph.D. Beyond Drama: Transcending Energy Vampires, by Nathan Regier, Ph.D., and Jeff King, MSW Next Element Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box, by the Arbinger Institute Nate’s Blog

Happy New Year!!  The new year is a time when we typically reflect on our lives and identify the changes that we'd like to make.  The problem is that we know that New Year's resolutions typically don't work. I discuss reasons why they don't work and offer an alternative approach.  Please refer to Sustain Motivation through Compassionate Accountability for guidance about setting reasonable goals and persisting past challenges.   Any change that we attempt will only last if we are being true to ourselves and acting from self-love.  I discuss my efforts to change over the past year and the challenges that I encountered.  I also review the hidden barriers that I could not have anticipated including past life and ancestral issues.   Take Action Item: Do one thing that helps you to feel grounded.  It can be physical exercise, body scan meditation, or a self-care practice (like rubbing oil on your skin).   Bonus Take Action Item: Write out your intentions for 2018.  You may chose to refer to sources that describe how to write affirmations for manifestation when writing your list. Wishing you a peaceful and loving year!!

Talking points: compassionate accountability, the compassion cycle, the role of a leader in team conflict, and how to apologize.
