In this episode of the Healthcare Education Transformation Podcast, Dr. F. Scott Feil speaks with Dr. Tracy Winter, an expert in neurodiversity, to explore the challenges and experiences associated with adult ADHD and other neurodivergent traits. Understanding neurodiversity, particularly ADHD, is crucial for fostering inclusive environments both in education and in daily life, and this conversation highlights the importance of recognizing and embracing individual differences to better support those navigating neurodivergence. Dr. Winter shares her personal journey with ADHD and offers practical strategies for managing neurodivergent traits, delving into coaching techniques, coping mechanisms, and the significance of shifting perspectives to help neurodivergent individuals thrive.Tracy Winter has been a professional coach since 2009 and an ADHD coach mentor and trainer since 2021. She is most passionate about coaching twice-exceptional people and other neurodivergent folks, regardless of their industry. She has coached people from 15 to 82 years old, including techies, scientists, attorneys, non-profit leaders, and housewives.Tracy also is co-founder of the Neurodiversity Coaching Academy, which trains coaches to become more neurodiversity-inclusive in their practices.Her coaching approach is bespoke for each client but is based in adult development models and an understanding of how neurodivergent brains can manifest differently from the norm and from each other. Because each client has a unique brain, she partners with her clients to co-create unique paths to their unique solutions, moving them from where they are to where they want to be.Tracy earned a PhD in Human Development, an MA in Human and Organization Systems, and an Evidence-Based Coaching Certificate from Fielding Graduate University. She is credentialed as a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation.

That ALL Might Be Edified: Discussions on Servant Leadership
It was a true joy and a great privilege to have former Division I NCAA basketball coach, current leadership coach and Gonzaga doctoral student, Adam Gierlach on this episode of the podcast. Adam and I share a passion for servant leadership which connected us together. Adam highlighted the importance of nurturing the attributes of care and curiosity to foster connections and relationships as servant leaders and shared a portion of his story of how he transitioned from basketball coach to leadership coach. He reminds us that leadership doesn't need to have anything to do with one's status in a hierarchy, and that as a servant leader it should be more about one's focus on commitment to the growth of others. Adam illustrates the importance of decoupling career growth programs from leadership development and creating a dedicated path to focus on servant first instead of leader first mentalities. This means we are coaching those around us and helping them achieve their ideal self. Adam educates us on the powerful concepts of emotional contagions in organizations and highlights profound research that emphasize the importance of being in tune with the emotions in our teams. The research shows that the lowest performing teams are often characterized as focus on self and as having the lowest emotional range, whereas the highest performing teams have the highest emotional range. This highlights that the case could be made for emotions as one of the most important thing to study in organizations. Adam also teaches the profound implications of negative emotions and even worse the numbing reaction of indifference. Leaders who listen to this material will be better prepared to build a positive community with the real individuals on their teams. Adam operates his own leadership coaching practice, Adam Gierlach Coaching, where he primarily works with athletic coaches and student-athletes, while also serving as a leadership coach for the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University, and the coaching company Ama La Vida, where he serves executives and leaders across a variety of organizations. He holds a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential from the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and is a certified leadership coach through Rice University's Doerr Institute for New Leaders. As a leadership coach, Adam helps leaders to become servant-leaders, and increase the capacity of individuals to lead. His work with others is a co-creative partnership that provides the time, space, and opportunity for you to learn about yourself, so you can serve others in more life-giving ways and act with greater impact. He transitioned into leadership coaching after nearly a decade in men's college basketball, serving as an Assistant Coach at Rice University and Cornell University. During his time at Cornell University, the program achieved their most successful season in eight years. Adam is a doctoral student in Gonzaga University's School of Leadership Studies, where he studies servant-leadership and leader development. Adam earned his M.A. in Organizational Leadership with a concentration in Servant-Leadership from Gonzaga University, and a B.A. in History from Rice University. He resides in Spokane, Washington.

The number two quality or characteristic people look for and desire in a leader was 'competent.' Honest and competent are the two most important ingredients.""So what this data tells us, you add it all up, and you say, 'Yes, sure, we can write about CEOs. And we can write about famous leaders.' But those aren't the most important people, individuals look to as a model for how they would lead. The most important leaders are those people who are closest to us, whether it's a parent, or a teacher, or coach when we're younger, or an immediate supervisor at work. And that's really important for people to keep in mind. When you're leading, and you're someone's immediate manager, you could be their role model for leadership. The same goes for parents.""It's true that leaders need to be able to articulate a vision of the future...But if it's going to be something that people want to follow, then they have to see themselves in the picture."Jim's WebsiteBook - Everyday People, Extraordinary LeadershipBook - The Leadership ChallengeWebsite - https://www.leadershipchallenge.comResources Mentioned in This EpisodeBook - High Conflict by Amanda RipleyPodcast - No Stupid QuestionsPodcast - Freakonomics Podcast - Revisionist HistoryAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals with a keen interest in the study, practice, and teaching of leadership.

Our guest is Tom Kolditz, the author of Leadership Reckoning and Director of The Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University. The Institute's two-fold mission is to create a powerful and widely available leader development experience and improve the quality of leader development in higher education everywhere. Tom shares how many universities include the development of leaders in their mission statement. However, he explains that few have any focused programs to bring about that mission. Many focus on what Tom calls “leadertainment” which has no lasting benefit. We discuss Tom's book Leadership Reckoning, which outlines the failure of higher education. In addition Tom defines leadertainment and reveals how to measure outcomes and design programs to improve leadership development. Tom informs us about the upcoming classification system from Carnegie Mellon that is compelling Universities to listen to the problems being presented. Afterwards, he gives insight into how it will aid them in moving towards better programs for leadership development.

One of the phrases that struck me when I was interviewing Tom Kolditz was when he said that “the US military is very egalitarian, very much in a meritocracy. People are expected to never lean on their rank. The rank gives them a certain set of responsibilities. But it doesn't give them any advantage in the framework that we operate in our military.” Tom rose to the rank of Brigadier General, which should give you some sense of his calibre as a leader. I’ve had the chance to get to know him as he’s gone about scaling and reinventing the way coaching works to support students in university settings, and Iwas excited to talk to him about how to lead in the most difficult of times. Tom Kolditz is the founding Director of the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University, named top university program by the Association of Leadership Educators. In 2017, he received the Warren Bennis Award for Excellence in Leadership, and has ranked among the top 25 global coaches for three years. The Doerr Institute is his fifth successful leader development start-up. His book In Extremis Leadership: Leading as if Your Life Depended on It has become one of the go-to texts for leading in the COVID-19 crisis. In our conversation we dig into the process for evaluating risk in a snapshot moment; the power of a premortem; how to enroll the most junior person in a room tocreate diversity of thought; and why feelings matter in a time of crisis.

I ask people their reasons for polluting activities like flying, take-out, taking taxis or ride shares where public transit serves. They consistently tell me that they love these things. They love visiting family, seeing remote places, etc.If you feel similarly, you're about to face some tough love. These motivations came to mind while listening to Thomas Kolditz on a podcast I listen to and that has featured me. He is one of today's premier leaders and leadership educators.

Tom Kolditz is the founding Director of the Doerr Institute for New Leaders at Rice University. Tom shares the concepts and foundational elements that led to creating an evidence-based, leader development program that has received top recognition from the Associations of Leadership Educators. Key Takeaways [2:00] Tom comes from a small town in Southern Illinois. He was a senior instructor on the West Point parachute team for 12 years and had 647 helicopter jumps. [3:45] Five questions to measure a leader’s effectiveness: What are this leader’s strengths? What are this leader’s challenges? When is this leader at their best? When is this leader at their worst? How can this leader improve? [7:40] You don’t need to make this process complicated. You can focus on theory all day long, but the real results come from the outcome. [10:15] Leaning too heavily on ‘the rules’ limits the leader of their responsibility. They can just blame the rule instead of being flexible and adapting to the specific instance. [10:50] When you take responsibility for what you say or what you do, it can be painful, but it goes away. [13:10] In our culture, we openly talk about our mistakes, so you’d think people would be open to making mistakes. However, it seems it’s having an opposite effect, where more and more people are taking a more conservative and fearful approach. [16:10] If someone makes a mistake, social media has the ability to make it go viral and ruin careers. [18:40] Most ethical transgressions have, at their root, an excessive self-interest. People do not get called out enough for being selfish. [26:45] When you or a company’s self-interest starts to take away from people in unfair ways, that should not be an acceptable business practice. It is a flashing red light for an ethics violation. [35:30] One of the best things the military helps us with is that the entire culture is focused on leadership, rewards leadership, and respects leadership. It is a cultural immersion. Soldiers can smell a fake person a mile away. [37:45] Remember, if there is a problem in the organization, it’s your job to fix it. It’s not your job to lead an organization where there are no problems. [39:45] Senior leaders have to get comfortable with a lot more ambiguity. They have to think about their guidance in broader, intense, statements. Define what your team’s right and left limits are and let them soar. [41:30] Leaders can think a lot faster than their larger staff can execute. It can be pretty easy to get sucked into being a micromanager when things aren’t progressing enough. [45:00] You have poorly developed leaders (their leadership abilities are at the high-school level, even with a 4-year university degree) that have adopted bad leadership habits for the last 15 years in their career, and now they’re working in leadership positions. Industries are just riddled with bad leaders because no one has helped them develop this skill throughout their careers. [49:05] Leading with ambiguity starts with recognizing your abilities, how long it’s taken you to get this far, and how much other people have helped you. Quotable Quotes Leading equals Impact.

Cymene and Dominic ring out 2016 by sharing a few energy and environment stories you might have missed. Then (22:11) we welcome to the podcast Annise Parker, three term mayor of Houston (2010-2016), now a fellow at Rice University's Doerr Institute for New Leaders. As Houston's greenest mayor, we reflect on the major environmental accomplishments of her administration including making Houston—let's face it, a city not often associated in the public imagination with sustainability—the largest municipal purchaser of renewable electricity in the country with much improved mass transit and a greatly expanded network of hike and bike trails along the city's bayou system. Annise talks to us about the important role cities are playing in the fight against climate change, including making markets for renewable energy and pursuing their own “para-diplomacy” with other cities to advance initiatives stalled at other levels of government. She explains why making the economic argument for renewables has been so important in Houston and why she doesn't view Houston's oil and gas industry as an impediment to forward progress. She also shares her thoughts on bike programs, automated vehicles, public transportation, migration, and hurricanes. Finally (1:09:46) Annise shares her frank reactions to the election, predicts many broken promises to come, and expresses her faith in the republic. Can she imagine being Senator Parker or Governor Parker down the road? Listen in to find out. Wishing all our listeners peace and love and a happy, fighty new year. Let's make 2017 better in every respect.

As a leading research university with a distinctive commitment to undergraduate education, Rice University aspires to pathbreaking research, unsurpassed teaching and contributions to the betterment of our world.
