Favorite quotes of the episode: “Feedback is hard because feedback is about learning and growth and learning and growth are uncomfortable. Always.” “Learning that discomfort is not a barrier to being effective, is powerful.” “The purpose of feedback is to help people get more effective at meeting their own goals.” “Try it, do it badly, and you will get better.” Episode Overview I kicked off 2019 with a promise to discuss big issues, big ideas and provide real-world actionable solutions that we can all implement in our daily lives as busy professionals. In this episode, I talk with Kate Arms, on how to give and receive feedback. She has been creating cultures where people thrive since 1984 when she first realized she could turn the lonely outlier kids in her middle school into a group of friends. She has learned through experience that every person has the power to improve the culture of a group with or without formal authority. Her superpower is facilitating open, challenging, and respectful conversations on controversial topics on Facebook. She has negotiation and mediation training from Harvard Law School. Her coach training includes coaching certification from The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), Organizational and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC) training from CRR Global, and certification in Creativity Coaching from the Creativity Coaching Association. She is a certified InterPlay Leader and a graduate of CTI’s Co-Active Leadership Program. TOPICS Kate’s career path Setting the stage, overview, how to prepare for feedback Preparing to receive feedback, building trust How to Give Feedback / How to Receive Feedback (steps, tactics, framework) From the book, Crucial Accountability: STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) Framework for looking at where failure happens: (Individual, Group/System, Tools) Does the individual have the skills to do the job? Does the individual have the right motivation? Does the group have the skillset? Does the group have the right motivation? (or incentive structures?) Does the individual have the right tools? Are the Tools impacting the motivation?  Common Fails, pitfalls to avoid 5 Questions Segment Q1. We know that the most successful and happy people have a morning routine, what do you do each morning or evening that sets your day up for success? I text my friend each morning a daily message to help keep us on task and being the people we want to be that day. Q2. What's your definition of Success? A sufficient quantity of good feelings, a sense of accomplishment, a sense that my work and I matter, a sense that I am leading my life rather than being a victim of circumstances, and good relationships. ~ from Martin Seligman’s work. Q3. What's your definition of Happiness? Enough ease with discomfort to pursue my goals, savoring success so that I truly enjoy it and enough courage to let go and begin again. Q4. What do you know now that you wish you would have known 10 years ago? I’m not dependent upon anyone else for my happiness and that I can create relationships that make me happy, I don’t have to wait for other people to do it. If I want great power, I have to take great responsibility, but only for things that are within my power.

Join Scott Cluthe's LOVE Cafe on FB Live Wednesday at 5 PM CST-6 EST- 4 MSt - 3 PST Eric Maisel, Ph.D., joins Scott Cluthe to discuss Overcoming Your Difficult Family from New World Library. Many of the difficult people you encounter in daily life can be avoided, but what if they’re family members? What if the difficult person is a parent, a sibling, one of your children, or your mate? In Overcoming Your Difficult Family, life coach and retired family therapist Eric Maisel offers useful strategies for dealing with the people you’re connected to for life, even when they are not cooperative. Dr. Maisel tackles the problematic aspects of families, describing eight vital skills to help you cope with challenging relationships. The book also serves as a unique “field guide” to common types of dysfunctional families — authoritarian families, anxious families, addicted families, and more — and how to thrive despite those dynamics. By following Dr. Maisel’s battle-tested advice, you’ll learn to maintain inner peace in the midst of family chaos and create a better life for your whole family.

For Life on Purpose Episode #76, my guest is Dr. Eric Maisel, a retired family therapist, active life coach, and the author of more than fifty books. Eric was one of my first guests on Life on Purpose and returns to the show for a wide-ranging conversation on meaning, life purpose, and the epidemic of phantom "mental disorders" in children. And we focus on his new book, Your Difficult Family: 8 Skills for Thriving in Any Family Situation, in which he shows how to stay sane when family isn’t, providing practical strategies that can be implemented immediately.   This empowering book is a “field guide” to common types of dysfunctional families, and a big helping of real life success stories that are dinner table tested and approved. Readers will learn to maintain inner peace in the midst of family chaos and maybe even create a better life for their whole family. “There is no pill that can make family life easy. There is no pill that can spare you pain if one of your parents is alcoholic, one of your children is troubled, or your mate is cheating on you. M.

Natural psychology is a brand new psychology of meaning. Building on existential philosophy and psychology, it presents an up-to-date picture of life purpose centered on the idea of value-based meaning-making. By accurately describing meaning as a psychological experience, by announcing that meaning must be made and not sought, and by providing a robust new vocabulary of meaning, natural psychology advances our understanding of the roots of emotional distress and provides a framework for authentic living. Never run short of meaning or life purpose again! Dr. Eric Maisel is the author of more than 40 books in the areas of creativity, meaning and mental health. He is widely regarded as America's foremost creativity coach and founded the profession of creativity coaching. He provides core trainings for the Creativity Coaching Association and leads workshops nationally and internationally.

  We often hesitate to walk through to authentic true beginnings in our Creative Lives. What better way to gain our focus, reach clarity and overcome our fears, then hearing the wisdom of one of the world's most gifted Creativity Writers and Coaches?  Dr. Eric Maisel is an author, family therapist and cultural observer and is widely regarded as America’s foremost creativity coach. Eric’s new book is titled: MASTERING CREATIVE ANXIETY-24 Lessons for Writers, Painters, Musicians, and Actors. In his decades as a psychotherapist and creativity coach, Eric Maisel has found a common thread behind what often gets labeled “writer’s block,” “procrastination,” or “stage fright.” It’s the particular anxiety that, paradoxically, keeps creators from doing, completing, or sharing the work they are driven toward. This “creative anxiety” can take the form of avoiding the work, declaring it not good enough, or failing to market it — and it can cripple creators for decades, even lifetimes. But Maisel has learned what sets successful creators apart. He shares these strategies here, including artist-specific stress management; how to work despite bruised egos, day jobs, and other inevitable frustrations; and what not to do to deal with anxiety. Implementing these 24 lessons replaces the pain of not creating with the profound rewards of free artistic self-expression. Dr. Maisel trains creativity coaches and meaning coaches, provides core trainings for the Creativity Coaching Association, and works with individual clients on issues of creativity and meaning. Dr. Maisel holds degrees in philosophy (B.S.), psychology (B.A.), creative writing (M.A.), counseling (M.S.), and counseling psychology (PhD).
