Podcast appearances and mentions of david taylor klaus

In this episode of Great Practices, I'm joined by David Taylor Klaus, a veteran entrepreneur and mindset coach who helps high-achieving executives and business owners stop sacrificing personal fulfillment for professional success. Listen in as David discusses the importance of embracing, rather than bracing for the future, the risk of living a “reported on” professional life, and ways you can prepare for the future as a PMO leader. Plus, we'll uncover some good ol' advice from Mark Twain and find out the first place to look when the PMO train begins to go off track. Want to get in touch with David?

Storytelling: Leadership that build healthy communities is such a timely theme to talk about.    “If we want the best out of our people, we have to treat our people well. You can't rely on them being resilient if you're trying your best to kill them with structure.  We are maturing to be more focused on the contributor, not the contribution. The biggest piece of resilience is believing that you can rebound, you can overcome, you can come back, you can heal. To believe that you can't, proves you can't, and makes it so you won't. You've got to believe that you can overcome.  Being broken will be the anomaly rather than the norm.  You've got to be well before you can help others be well.” says David Taylor Klaus. 

David Taylor-Klaus reintroduces Successful Entrepreneurs and Senior Executives to their families. A serial entrepreneur, David is recognized for combining candor, intelligence, and humor with masterful coaching. He challenges leaders and their teams to reach their highest levels of performance in their professional and personal lives. David has lived with depression and ADHD for most of his life giving him a deep understanding of, and compassion for, the neurodivergence that is so common among entrepreneurs and maverick leaders. When David's life work is done, no entrepreneur nor maverick leader will need to experience what he did: standing on the proverbial bridge wondering how they ever got so lost … David and his wife Elaine (also a best-selling author and professional coach), are "up-until-COVID empty-nesters" now living in the heart of Atlanta with their two dogs and an ever-changing array of their three children. Their life is rich and full! His best-selling book “Mindset Mondays with DTK: 52 Ways to REWIRE Your Thinking and Transform Your Life" is available on Amazon. Listen to this Parenting With Impact episode with David Taylor-Klaus about ADHD, co-parenting, and coaching. Parenting is Leadership Parenting is a leadership opportunity. With the "Parenting is Leadership" Guide from ImpactParents, two frameworks and a dozen core competencies will guide you to up-level your parenting... and improve the most important relationships of your life. Here is what to expect on this week's show: David emphasizes the importance of talking to your children about everything and allowing them to share their thoughts and feelings openly. David and Elaine stress practicing active listening instead of constantly directing or correcting. Stay curious about their thoughts and experiences without imposing your own agenda. This helps build trust and strengthens the parent-child relationship. David and Elaine understand parenting, especially in a collaborative manner, requires significant time, effort, energy, and attention. It's essential to prioritize self-care and recharge your own resources to effectively support your children in their growth and development.

In this intense yet uplifting conversation, David Taylor-Klaus is open and honest with Gary about his suicide attempt and what he does now to keep himself on track. This episode will make you think while also lifting you up.Also in this episode:Internal self-awarenessExternal self-awarenessBeing a thought leaderTicking people offWhether or not it's ok for your family to judge youAttempting suicideThe impact Hurricane Katrina had on himThe problem with the term “Work/Life Balance”Why you can't separate work and lifeBeing in relationship with what you're doingAbout DavidDavid's personal and professional worlds clearly reflect a journey in pursuit of excellence, always with a great deal of humor and heart. He is known for his sharp intellect and incisive ability to see and say what others do not. He balances fierce candor with genuine compassion … aka “an iron fist in a velvet glove.”Whether working with individuals, teams, or speaking to large groups, David believes that a powerful leader exists in each of us, his goal is to empower others to unearth and unleash their own leadership mastery. From personal experience, he drives home the importance for all professionals to take an active, intentional, and dynamic role in their private and professional lives.The mission of DTK Coaching is to reintroduce successful business people to their families and the world outside the office.Through an informed, well-applied process and an inspired approach, David's clients overcome the overwhelming aspects of succeeding in business and being a part of a family. DTK Coaching helps them create the kind of Life-Work Balance they only dared to imagine was possible, while also achieving dramatic shifts in their performance.David's insight and wisdom are built on his three decades as a successful serial entrepreneur.Prior to establishing DTK Coaching, he was CEO of Digital Positions (DP), an internet strategy and web development firm he co-founded in 1995 and sold in 2009. As a strategist, he worked with C-level executives, senior management teams and boards of directors to broaden their perspective and see how interactive initiatives support corporate visions and values for positive growth.It was during this time, however, that David realized that his success came from being reactive rather than proactive, and that he wasn't participating consciously as a husband, father, business partner, or entrepreneur.  As he headed toward rock-bottom, David had a significant wake-up call that ultimately resulted in DTK Coaching. (It's a great story… read how really bad it got)Recent empty-nesters (a status modified due to the pandemic), David and his wife, Elaine, live in the heart of Atlanta with their dogs. A gold-medal rower in the 2004 Georgia State Games, an avid cyclist, and an enthusiastic wine-collector (and drinker), David also enjoys kick-boxing, really great jokes, laughing with others … and at himself.https://dtkcoaching.comwww.GaryScottThomas.com

“What I want for leaders and what I invite leaders to do is absolutely to consider what they want for the other person in that conversation before walking into that conversation,” shares David Taylor-Klaus, master certified coach and bestselling author. David works with executives and entrepreneurs to help them live more authentically and better connect with their clients and employees. He joins Mike Horne in conversation to discuss tips for unleashing personal mastery through authenticity.    According to David, the largest issue busy executives face is the inability to slow themselves down and listen to their intuition. They are so busy that they lose track of whether or not they are still in alignment with their core beliefs and desires. High performance leaders often get so caught up in work that they put it first above their personal lives and sabotage their happiness by doing so. David recommends starting by celebrating in the moment rather than only focusing on the long term end goal and going into every conversation thinking about what you want for the other person. When you go into a conversation thinking about your desired outcome for the other person, they will feel respected and listened to; whereas if you go in thinking of what you want for yourself, they may feel dehumanized.    Unearth personal mastery by chipping away at everything in your life that isn't authentic, isn't real, and doesn't reflect who you are at your core. Tune into this week's episode of the Authentic Change Podcast to learn more about how to get back into alignment with your authentic self and how to be a better leader.    Quotes: “The core element was, I became willing to see what I was doing that was out of alignment, that was inauthentic, that was wrong, and do the work in partnering with the universe to get it right.” (5:50-6:12 | David) “What's true is that we don't pay enough attention to what we feel, the somatic knowing. The little gray matter inside of your skull is 3% of your body mass, and yet, we spend 90% of our time paying attention to what we think and very little time paying attention to our heart intelligence, or our gut wisdom, our instincts, our intuition, all that somatic knowing. When we pay more attention to that, when we're aligned in that arena, wow. That's when it gets incredibly powerful and very juicy.” (7:03-7:37 | David)  “Sustained happiness is when we are enjoying and celebrating the moment, and not just the end. We get in trouble with the, “I'll be happy when.” When I graduate, when I get this job, when I get this promotion, when I get this raise. Well, dude, you're missing all the happiness of the moment in between.” (10:02-10:23 | David) “The phrase work life balance is a horrific lie. And I don't know whose twisted idea it was to put the word work first. That's what screwed us up. We too often, and for those high performers, uber driven type A or type AAA, we can get too over calibrated towards work. And that mindset is messing us up and preventing us from actually finding the happiness and the fulfillment that we crave.” (12:27-12:56 | David) “All of our jobs as adults to get back to our pure authentic self is to chip away everything that isn't real, isn't authentic, isn't true, isn't you.” (14:12-14:23 | David) “It's important that I get it real, it's not important that I get it right. Real is right for me. Not right in terms of the world.” (16:54-17:01 | David) “Being listened to feels so much like being loved that people can scarcely tell the difference.” (23:02-23:08 | David)  “When you're clear what you want for the people in your organization, and on your team, and those that you lead, it changes the way you lead. So yes, love them and love them deeply. Because if you don't, you're just treating them as objects, and othering does not serve us well as humans.” (23:25-23:40 | David) “I think the word manager is getting in the way. We should never be managing people. We should always be leading people. We can manage assets, we can manage elements. We can manage inanimate things, we can manage processes, but we should never be managing people. Because that's inherently treating them as cogs, or assets, or inanimate.” (29:16-29:35 | David) “What I want for leaders and what I invite leaders to do is absolutely to consider what they want for the other person in that conversation before walking into that conversation.” (36:15-36:25 | David) Links:   Mentioned in this episode: Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Find more about Leading People and Culture with Authenticity   Learn more about David Taylor-Klaus: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtaylorklaus/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/dtk Instagram: https://instagram.com/dtkcoaching Web: dtkcoaching.com Join the Community: better human ❯❯❯ better life → betterhumanbetterlife.com

Imagine this: you've poured months and thousands of dollars into your product, and you're finally ready to launch. You're proud of the end result because it's exactly what the market needs.  You need this launch to work - you've got bills to pay. But launch day comes around… and all you hear is crickets.  Why?  Chances are, your marketing reeked of desperation. Just like it did for today's Results Leader.  David Taylor-Klaus's product launch failed because of his desperate mindset. Now he's written a bestselling book and helps countless entrepreneurs like you fix their mindset. In this episode, you'll discover how to transform your mindset and let your business flourish.  Listen now.  Show highlights include: The 4 “alternative currencies” for living a happier and more impactful life (5:32)  The “new lenses” exercise that pulls out negative beliefs at the root within a year (8:25)  How to turn negative self-talk into wealth by tapping into your “PQ” (12:34)  A simple hack coaches can use to 10x their client results while saving time (14:32)  The “80-mile an hour” rule that lets you outpace your competition (without working on a to-do list as long as your arm) (17:13) If you found a golden nugget of wisdom in this episode, share it on social media with the hashtag #ResultsLeaderFM to help spread the word.

Work-life balance isn't as simple as separating work from personal life. Balancing both aspects of your life would only be successful if you learn how to make them work together. David Taylor-Klaus shatters the very concept of work-life balance for us in this conversation with Ryan Englin. David discusses how a single shift in a leader's mindset can lead to a series of changes in themselves and their employees that will benefit how they balance their work and their lives. Work culture is dependent on the company's leader. Leaders make a huge impact by providing motivation. It is a chain of positivity. Listen in and learn how this shift takes place in practice!

We open Act 2 with David Taylor-Klaus dishing on his collegiate acting career and how, through that experience, he learned powerful keys to connection and wanting for others. As we turn to the topic of purpose, David tells a story of returning to crew in his 30's – and, after rowing in a winning 4-man Master's crew, getting launched from a racing shell into water well-stocked with a nasty array of infectious pathogens.  That unfortunate dip led to an infection… and the fortuitous intersection of his physical recovery and that of one of his children, who was diagnosed with a severe gluten intolerance.Far from finding himself on an easy path, David swerved “dangerously close to the edge,” plunging into a deep depression that had him examining “the five best ways of killing myself.” He describes searching for an anchor, rigorously digging into his own inner work in a quest to discover his own purpose. We riff on the irony of our neurodiverse kids learning valuable social skills that everyone could benefit from, yet aren't taught until folks face the unfortunate consequences of not having developed them. David brings Act 2 in for a landing citing Don Miguel Ruiz's “The Four Agreements”, calls Michelangelo into the mix, and lays a solid foundation for purpose and “humaning” in fresh, clear ways. David Taylor-Klaus is a speaker, author, and leadership coach on a mission to unearth and unleash the power of the heart for entrepreneurs and senior executives. Since 2008, DTK has empowered his tribe to take an active, intentional, and dynamic role in their development and create the kind of life rhythm that enables them to build profitable businesses, raise thriving families, and live wildly fulfilling lives... not necessarily in that orderHis best-selling new book “Mindset Mondays with DTK: 52 Ways to REWIRE Your Thinking and Transform Your Life" is available on Amazon. You can find DTK on his website, dtkcoaching.com as well as the following Socials: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DTKcoachingLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtaylorklaus/Twitter - https://twitter.com/dtkInstagram - https://instagram.com/dtkcoaching

David Taylor-Klaus launches Act 1 describing walking one very specific tightrope of his childhood: “Dude, it was odd!  I grew up a liberal Jew in the South, 20 miles from where the Klan reconstituted in 1898!”  He points to reverberations of the 1958 Atlanta synagogue bombing that impacted his early experience in the  ‘70's and '80's.David shares how he shocked his mother by saying “bye, y'all!” to his classmates as he stepped off a school bus just days after starting school in Atlanta.  He unpacks the influence – and beauty – of navigating life with undiagnosed ADHD, highlighting how he developed his own ability to be present by listening.  As he says, “being listened to is so much like being loved that people can scarcely tell the difference.”DTK, as he is known to those of us who love him, borrows an important teaching story from Alan Alda, upping the ante on our Act 1 theme of listening. David offers lessons from history, highlighting the phenomenon of “othering” and objectification – and offering a relatively simple antidote to begin creating connection.As we begin to wrap this first half of our conversation, DTK creates a key distinction between bosses and leaders, shares what he wants for the people closest to him and offers us an important step toward “unf$@king” our world. David Taylor-Klaus is a speaker, author, and leadership coach on a mission to unearth and unleash the power of the heart for entrepreneurs and senior executives.

David Taylor-Klaus reintroduces successful entrepreneurs and senior executives to their families. He challenges leaders and their teams to reach their highest levels of performance in their professional and personal lives.Burned out and frustrated, David shifted the language he used to talk to himself, reconnected with who he is and what he wanted, and now coaches successful entrepreneurs and senior executives to live wildly fulfilling lives. In This Episode:Rebelling against what he had created because he thought it was what he should doReconnecting to his core and what he actually wantedBeing mindful of the internal saboteur and the two-year child insideReintroducing successful entrepreneurs and senior executives to their familiesLooking at unwritten rules that are running our lifeDeep values clarificationStop trying to power through burnoutSeeing the world as we are

Today we are talking about Mindset. Mindset is the lens through which you perceive the world. As the saying goes, when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.    If you think about it, this can be liberating because it gives you control. If you don't like a situation or circumstance, a simple mindset shift can completely transform the way your life unfolds. But how do we change our thoughts when they seem to happen automatically and be beyond our control?    David Taylor-Klaus is a mindset expert and coach helping leaders change the way they view success. His mission: To reintroduce successful business people to their families and the world outside the office. He does this by helping them get their mind right.    Prior to establishing DTK Coaching, David was CEO of an internet strategy and web development firm that he co-founded in 1995. As a strategist, he worked with C-level executives, senior management teams, and boards of directors to broaden their perspective and develop initiatives for business growth.   It was during this time, that David realized his success came from being reactive rather than proactive. He wasn't participating consciously as a husband, father, business partner, or entrepreneur, and as David headed toward rock-bottom, he had a significant wake-up call that ultimately resulted in DTK Coaching.    During this interview David addresses the significance of the stories we tell ourselves and how those stories impact our actions and ultimately our results. “The lens through which we see the world colors and changes the way we experience things.”   How do we change our mindset to get the results we want?    Let's find out with our good friend David Taylor-Klaus.    In this episode DTK tackles topics such as: You don't have to wait to hit rock bottom before you choose to look at things and do things differently.  Would you let others speak to you the way that you speak to yourself? Pay attention to your internal dialogue. Be it until you are it. Take on the identity of who you want to be, your behaviors will change, and your results will last.  The significant difference between choosing and deciding.    Want more of DTK?  DTKquiz.com dtkcoaching.com www.facebook.com/DTKcoaching

He describes the cultural stain we have around the word “easy” and society’s tendency to overcomplicate things.

“ I keep three words at the top of my screen. It says REAL, NOT "RIGHT." I think to translate that for the rest of the world, that's not inside my head. But, man, it doesn't have to be RIGHT, and there's a reason the word RIGHT is in quotes. It doesn't have to be RIGHT. It just has to be real.

A leader's mindset affects the entirety of the group, but with the pandemic and the things it make us experience, disengagement is slowly becoming present and it's making life a little harder to live.  Left with no choice but to find and do work in order to survive, we tend to pay more attention to that job instead of crafting the life we want. In these times, learning how to live a rhythm-organized life is necessary for you to avoid burning your entire soul out.  David Taylor – Klaus is the author of the best selling new book “Mindset Mondays with DTK: 52 Ways to REWIRE Your Thinking and Transform Your Life” – a book that will guide you towards living a life in rhythm. He reintroduces successful entrepreneurs and senior executives to their families, and challenges leaders in their teams to reach their highest levels of performance in both their professional and personal lives. As a serial entrepreneur, David was recognised for combining candour, intelligence, and humour with masterful coaching.   In this episode, David shares his insights on the disengagement leaders experience that slowly kills them and their being. Here, he discusses how a ‘work-life balance' system practiced in your life actually affects you in a way that exhausts you out, and how good it would be for you to shift into the idea of ‘life rhythm'. Listen and check these concepts out.    What you will learn from this episode:  Discover why the concept of ‘work-life balance' is actually killing you Learn ways on how you can start making a move to change the way you experience life with the help of a framework Find out what ‘life rhythm' is and why it's better than the idea of ‘work-life balance'    “We are paying attention to work more than our life when in fact it should be crafting the life you want.”  - David Taylor - Klaus    Topics Covered:  01:23 – The reason why David focused on the concept of mindset out of everything that's possible to cover in leadership.  02:29 – What is the biggest challenge leaders face in business today?  04:44 – What are some of the biggest mistakes people are making in their attempts on living a good life?  05:57 – Some actionable tips on how someone can actually start making a move and have traction.  08:45 – Other actionable steps David recommends for you to take.  10:11 – Another tip David shares for you to start getting more out of what you read: The REWIRE Framework.  11:57 – A free resource: The REWIRE Framework explained.  14:35 – The link that will lead you to see the REWIRE Framework: https://www.mindsetmondayswithdtk.com   15:05 – Why does David hate the term ‘work-life balance' so much and why it should be changed to ‘life rhythm'.    Key Takeaways:  “Mindset, for me, is the most critical element to leadership because not only does the leader's mindset impact his or her ability to lead and the way they lead; it's contagious. I've always heard that a leader sets the weather. The leader's mindset is something that he imbues, or I'll say, emits and becomes contagious to their team, and that's something incredibly important. It changes the way teams work.” – David Taylor - Klaus  “When you stop and look at your life and take an assessment with blameless discernment, letting go of the judgment, just objectively looking at where you are and where things are going, you'll look forward and you'll realize, ‘If I change nothing, if I keep going the way I'm going, it's just going to keep getting worse'.” – David Taylor - Klaus  “You can wait until you hit bottom, or you can make the decision that this is the bottom and you can start taking action to change things.” – David Taylor - Klaus  Connect with David Taylor-Klaus: Website: https://www.mindsetmondayswithdtk.com

I have been wanting to have Bex Taylor-Klaus on the podcast ever since I decided Life in the And was going to be a thing. Bex - the eldest child of previous guests Elaine and David Taylor-Klaus - is someone whom you may know from their role as Sin in CW's Arrow, Audrey in MTV's Scream, the voice of Pidge in Voltron: Legendary Defenders, or as the non-binary Deputy Brianna Bishop in Fox's procedural drama, Deputy. An “Accidental AND,” Bex is a non-binary individual - an identity that we all need to talk more about in society. In this episode, Bex and I explore what it means to be non-binary and what it looks like in Hollywood. We illustrate Bex's experience with gender & identity as a child and how they discovered the non-binary identity.

David Taylor-Klaus is a brilliant linguist who greatly inspires me. Before founding DTK Coaching, David was CEO of Digital Positions, an internet strategy and web development organization he co-founded. Despite guiding executives to become aware of how values can impact growth, David realized that he wasn't consciously living his life as an entrepreneur, business partner, father, and husband. This insight ultimately led David to found DTK Coaching, through which he reconnects entrepreneurs and senior executives with their families. Today, David and I explore what it means to live and lead with the head and the heart. We discuss how money can distract us from the things that are important to us and how we can reconnect with our hearts by going deep with our values. David shares the story of how he discovered his life's work and what it means to be a heart-centered leader. We also discuss what “bully values” are and emphasize the power of language to reflect and create how we think of the world. “There's knowing in one's head and knowing in one's heart. Connect with both, so you don't enter a boxing ring with one arm tied behind your back” - David Taylor-Klaus This week on Life in the AND: Getting caught up in the human doing and away from human being Woo-woo spiritual coaching and how David helps entrepreneurs reconnect with their families The importance of reconnecting with the heart first and how our mind blocks our connection with the heart David's story, the undercurrent to his life's work, and how he discovered that he needed to reconnect with his heart The isolating power of entrepreneurship and what makes an empowered environment conducive to change What it means to be a heart-centered leader Money as an agreed-upon fiction and how it gets in the way of letting the heart drive impact Time, community, family, spirituality, and other currencies that truly measure our success How values can connect us to what truly matters What aspirational, competing, and bully values are and how you can make values work for you Value conflicts in our political divides and how recent events amplified our need to question what's important Words create worlds and how the power of AND creates possibility The ability of language to let us see and create how we think The impact of knowing in your heart and how it's different from knowing in your head Related Content: In a World of Either/Or, How Do We Create an AND?

Laurie Shiers is a Creative Development Coach with a nerdy passion for the creative process and all its nuances. Laurie, a creative catalyst, made a literal Creative Block, a collection of cards that help people get unstuck and enter a new creative headspace. Taking this step further in inspiring people into new ways of creative thinking, Laurie co-authored the forthcoming book, Mindset Mondays: 52 Ways to REWIRE Your Thinking and Transform Your Life, which will be available September 01, 2020. Laurie joins me today to explore the ANDs she discovered in the creative process. She explains why she created the Creative Block and the importance of letting ourselves feel feelings and what happens when we don't.

Mark and David Taylor Klaus of DTK Consulting have a great time on this show.  DTK work's with successful entrepreneurs and senior executives who know they are not yet living up to their fullest potential — professionally or personally. As they identify what is standing in the way of their complete success, they are fiercely held accountable to their full capacity — to how truly BIG they have the potential to be. Through coaching, they are guided to bold and actionable solutions — whatever is necessary to empower them to step into that greatness.

Why is my dog leaving my office when I am on the phone?
