Our guest today was The Naval Commander of the Oliver Hazard Perry Class Guided Missile Frigate. It was a DREAM career. One that he aspired to and worked tirelessly for his entire life. They were deployed in The Black Sea during the 2014 Sochi Olympics directly off the coast of Russia. They were so close to shore, they could see the Olympic Torch - as well as some other Russian "assets" who were clearly interested in their presence there. In one minute he was living his dream. And in literally the next minute his entire life changed - and his entire identity went with it. Until he re-created himself. His name is Dennis Volpe and he's going to share his amazing story of crisis and resilience.

Self-awareness is the key to resilience according to Onward Podcast guest Dennis Volpe. A retired Naval Officer, Dennis’ leadership experience comes from serving in  numerous leadership roles to include Command at Sea. Furthermore, because of his experience with professional success as well as setbacks, he knows what it takes to live a resilient life.   Dennis currently serves as a Principal Consultant and Executive Performance and Transition Coach with the Leadership Research Institute. In addition, he’s a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and earned his Master of Science in Leadership Development from the Naval Postgraduate School.Furthermore, Dennis is a Columbia University certified Executive Coach.   Episode Highlights:   First, Dennis explains that change is what happens to us  - personally or professionally. And it is external. Next he talks about self-awareness. Emily asks Dennis how we can know if we need to be more aware. Dennis says that lack of self-awareness is biggest barrier to personal and professional success. Dennis is certified in emotional Intelligence.  Also, he works with a coach himself. It's easier to notice issues in other people and harder to see them in ourselves. Coaching works because a coach can be objective and see what we don't see. Next, Emily describes the first time she worked with a coach.   Then, Dennis explains how he knows what success and failure feel like. Dennis explains that when he was the Commander of a guided missile frigate, the ship ran aground and broke the propellor during a very high profile mission. As Commanding Officer, Dennis was responsible and accountable for the incident. Dennis explains Navy regulations about the responsibility and accountability of Commanding Officers in the Navy. Dennis was relieved of Command and his career basically ended after a lengthy Uniform Code of Military Justice process. In his mind, Dennis felt everyone he knew thought he was a failure. Dennis published a LinkedIn video about losing command and realized that most people he knew weren't even aware of the incident. Next, Dennis explains how he became a coach. He invested in his personal and professional development by going through the Columbia University’s Coaching Program. Emily and Dennis learned push energy when they worked for the military. Dennis had to get comfortable getting uncomfortable and he wrote a song about resilience. How does Dennis define coaching success?   Dennis’ focus is on career or life transition coaching. Next, Emily asks Dennis about his coaching observations over the past few years.  When you transition from military, you get to pick your team for first time in life.   Therefore, it’s important to know your values, priorities, and expectations. Knowing your purpose is part of the resilience equation because it gives us grit and endurance when we need it. Also, know your strengths and what energizes you. Setting boundaries  - red lines - is important.  Next, Emily gives an example of how she failed to set a red line boundary recently. Also, surround yourself with people who will hold you accountable to what you say is important to you. Ask for help and put your ego in the back seat. Passion gives us energy but also some stray voltage.  So, take your passion and put it in a box of purpose. Give yourself time and space to reflect. “No” is a complete sentence. Remember this when setting boundaries so you can stick to your priorities. Write your priorities down and share them with people who will give you support and accountability. Next, Dennis describes his ideal client. Finally, Dennis talks about his book, Transition on Purpose, a personal story illustrating success, failure, and resilience.     Resources Mentioned:  Website for Dennis’ Book:Transition on Purpose: Self-Reflect, Explore, and Re-Engage Life Amazon: Transition On Purpose: Self-Reflect, Explore and Re-Engage Life Download Transition on Purpose eBook | Dennis Volpe Contact Dennis: www.dennis-volpe.com Take a Transition Assessment  Emily Harman Mental Fitness Program  Onward Accelerator Coaching Program Onward: Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Onward Movement Facebook Group | YouTube Schedule a Complimentary Coaching Call with Emily Soul Pajamas

Anyone who makes a living with the content in their heads and hearts has to overcome internal obstacles to unlock their full potential.  There's so much we have to deal with when we are the product, especially when it comes to leaning into our backstories. Thought leaders steer away from talking about the setbacks, challenges and failures they've experienced in the past, but when we go into our work without our whole selves, we impact our effectiveness.   We think we can't talk about the stuff that defines our identity, but those are often the things that make us more human, more relatable and more compelling.  How do we overcome the reluctance to own our backstories? Why is this so critical in thought leadership work?  In this episode, I'm joined by Executive Performance and Transition Coach, Leadership Consultant and author of Transition on Purpose, Dennis Volpe. He shares the power of leaning into our stories, and why it makes us more effective at what we do and how we market ourselves. 

A big lesson we learn is how quickly change can be forced on us. The people who successfully adapt don't change by force, they pivot with intention and purpose.     Many think that change and transition are the same thing, but there's a difference. Change is forced on us; transition is a choice we make and is something we control.    Our world will continue to change and the more we can transition and pivot, the more likely we'll be able to reach our desired goals.   What are the key differences between people who transition intentionally and people who are forced to change by circumstance? In this episode, Executive Performance and Transition Coach, and author of Transition on Purpose, Dennis Volpe answers this question. If you don't decide to do something differently, you're not going to move from your current reality to your desired one. -Dennis Volpe    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Change vs. transition:  A change is what happens to us under the pressure of an external force. A transition is a mindset, internal push, and self-motivated effort to move from our current reality to our desired reality. By making transitions, we protect ourselves from unwanted changes.  The types of transitions we'll encounter in our lives:  There are 3 different types of transitions: a forced transition, an accidental transition, and an intentional transition. The more we can get ahead of a forced change by shifting on purpose, the more prepared we are in an unpredictable world.  How to create your happiness equation:  Start with the non-negotiable things you need to add to your life and remove the things that divide or subtract your joy and fulfillment. If we set the intention to build a life that aligns with that equation, we can easily identify when something isn't in alignment and shift accordingly.   Guest Bio    Dennis is an Executive Performance and Transition Coach, author, and a Principal at the Leadership Research Institute (LRI) He is an experienced leader and mentor with a proven record of leading and developing others to perform at higher levels and improve their overall effectiveness.

2020 has been a wild ride. Between the pandemic and the subsequent economic fallout, it's easy to view everything through a negative lens.      Keeping a positive isn't just necessary, it's our responsibility. Even in the most challenging times, business leaders have to keep the ship steady, look ahead, and optimize the effectiveness of our teams. If we feel defeated, our teams will follow suit and the organization will fall apart.    It's time to focus on the things we can control. While we can't change the fact that there's a pandemic, we can shift on how we respond to it.    How can we be the leaders our teams need during this chaotic time? How do we balance realism and optimism? What is the critical piece people often miss in the conversation on emotional intelligence in the workplace?   In this episode, I'm joined by Executive Performance and Transition Coach, Dennis Volpe. We discuss the challenges leaders are facing in 2020, and how we can deal with them.  Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The levels of awareness all leaders need to have:  The 3 lenses of awareness essential for effective leadership are self-awareness, social awareness, and situational awareness. We need to have a good understanding of ourselves, others, and how to navigate different circumstances. Why emotional intelligence shouldn't be our sole focus:  While it's important to develop an emotionally intelligent culture in our organization, we have to balance it with what actually drives the business forward. Emotional intelligence without performance and efficiency will only lead to a stagnant organization.     Why we shouldn't be the only leaders on our teams:  Our jobs as leaders are made easier when we hire smart people who can lead themselves and solve problems independently. There should be leadership at every level in an organization, and that's accomplished by hiring people who don't always look to us for the answer or solution.   Guest Bio:   Dennis is an Executive Performance and Transition Coach, author, and a Principal at the Leadership Research Institute (LRI) He is an experienced leader and mentor with a proven record of leading and developing others to perform at higher levels and improve their overall effectiveness.
