Podcast appearances and mentions of ed batista

Ed Batista, an executive coach and Stanford lecturer, discusses self-coaching, highlighting its relational aspect and the value of writing for self-reflection. He underscores the necessity of personalizing documentation techniques and references Stanford's successful "touchy-feely" course, explaining its organizational impact. Ed addresses the crucial role of coaching in today's divisive climate, focusing on the challenges leaders face in navigating polarizing social and political issues and providing guidance on effective leadership and team management through strong communication. Key Takeaways: [2:44] Ed describes his significant life transition from living in San Francisco for 30 years to unexpectedly moving to a working sheep and cattle ranch in Marin County due to the pandemic. Various factors, including the change to virtual work, retirement from teaching at Stanford, and a reassessment of priorities, led to this shift. He reflects on the challenges and educational experiences of rural living and shares the difficult decision to step away from teaching a course they founded at Stanford, "The Art of Self Coaching," but later on, realize that it was the right choice. [7:10] He explains that self-coaching is a self-directed process, but not a solitary one. Ed believes that while reflection is crucial, it is equally important to engage with others in the process. His teaching approach, which involves giving students readings and prompting them to integrate the material with personal experiences through writing. He then encourages students to recognize the need for both solitary reflection and engagement with others, as the latter is essential for discussing challenges and seeking help. [9:33] Ed shares about the value of reflective writing, such as journaling, for personal development. He mentions that traditional diary-style journaling can be tedious and unsustainable, leading many to abandon the practice. Subsequently, he advocates for a more personalized and sustainable approach, emphasizing that the act of writing itself, regardless of whether one revisits the content, has numerous benefits. Ed also provides insight into their experience with a course called "Interpersonal Dynamics" at Stanford, also known as "touchy-feely”. He provides a historical context, detailing the course's evolution and its enduring impact on individuals and organizations. [17:09] With the increasing challenges in this world, including social, political, and economic issues, Ed explains that there is a need for coaching, particularly among leaders. In the current environment, leaders may find it challenging to navigate these complexities and may feel compelled to issue statements or commitments that prove difficult to fulfill. With this, the need for leaders to address these challenges in coaching relationships is crucial, because coaching provides a safe space for leaders to acknowledge the pressure they face, discuss the complexity of issues, and explore different perspectives.  [20:11] He discusses the challenges faced by leaders in addressing social and political issues within the current tumultuous and polarized environment. Ed highlights the complexity of these issues and the pressure leaders feel to adopt simplified stances that may not align with the best interests of their businesses. He also emphasized the importance of acknowledging the nuanced needs of various stakeholders, including employees and customers. Ed also diverted into the topic of impacts of virtual work on social connections, suggesting that even in virtual settings, finding ways to create in-person experiences can foster social cohesion, and how to address problems in the workplace. [30:19] Ed Bautista contrasts one-on-one coaching, highlighting its high fidelity and settled mindset, with challenges faced by leaders in group settings, especially in virtual environments. He stresses the importance of camera use, in virtual meetings, and recommends one-on-one interactions within group contexts for deeper insights. Ed provides advice on group facilitation, emphasizing a leader's intervention when necessary, and the consideration of external facilitators.  Ed advises workplace leaders to offer support, coaching, and clear expectations while cautioning against prematurely assigning leadership responsibilities. [38:44] He talks about the challenges individuals face when transitioning from individual contributor roles to leadership positions. There is a need for a shift in mindset, especially for those who were valued for their technical expertise. He also highlights the emotional difficulty in relinquishing the role of the "smartest person in the room" and adapting to a new way of adding value as a leader. Ed also notes the misconception of overworking as a way to add value and stresses the importance of understanding where one truly adds the greatest value, focusing on high-impact tasks rather than routine activities. [44:44] In discussing organizational culture, Ed Batista highlights the interplay between empathy and accountability. He critiques high-accountability environments lacking empathy, comparing them to boot camps without a sense of safety. Conversely, he warns against overly empathetic cultures with low accountability, likening them to unsustainable daycares. Ed advocates for a balanced approach, encouraging organizations to cultivate cultures that are both high in accountability and high in empathy. Despite acknowledging challenges, he emphasizes the potential benefits of finding equilibrium between these two elements. [44:46] Closing Quote: Remember, each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be out. Sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching, and the greatest things can happen. - Pete Carroll. Quotable Quotes: “If you're deliberate about trying, then you give yourself a fighting chance.” “It is a matter of understanding the sort of ruthless power law, the Pareto curve in life that says if you're tackling the tasks that allow you the greatest value, and you get them right, everything else on your to-do list is probably irrelevant.” “We can bring people together from across vastly different geographies.” “Empathy is about understanding where they're coming from.” “We wound up creating an environment in which people felt obligated to stay silent or mouth the official position.” “If we feel that sense of interpersonal connection, and have a greater sense of social cohesion, there's greater trust.” “How do we create enough media in person experience to ensure that people feel a sense of social connection?” “As a business, we're not ignoring the social and political context that we're operating in, but we're recognizing that we need to shift our stance somehow.” “The worse the state of the world is, the more leaders benefit from good coaching.” “We gain by virtue of writing down thoughts and feelings about experiences, even if we never reread it.” “Construct writings in a way that's going to be sustainable for you and that's going to work.” “You've got to determine what are the most important questions and answer them for yourselves.” “We need some time, time for solitary reflection, and we also have to come back and engage with other people and integrate that.” Resources Mentioned: The Leadership Podcast | Sponsored by | Rafti Advisors.

In sports, the coach plays the important role of guiding players and delivering the feedback they need to operate at their best. But in our professional lives we almost never have the guidance and support of a coach, which makes it challenging to reach our full potential and at times leaves us trapped in negative behavior cycles. Ed Batista has spent years coaching senior leaders who are facing a series of challenges or seeking greater fulfillment in their role. He's distilled decades of guidance into a self-coaching course at Stanford as well as a book entitled The Art of Self Coaching. In our conversation with Ed, he unpacks the self-coaching methodology and how to shift our aggressive, self-interested warrior approach to work to that of a humble, curious sage.

新知日历 | 喜马拉雅平台首档自制知识资讯类音频节目从专业人士演讲、权威学术期刊、社会热点文章，行业大数据平台，分析报告等各类来源提取新认知、新观点和新趋势，为用户提供每日高品质知识资讯。新技能 | 如何管理职场负面情绪？试试这四招今天我来说职场负面情绪的问题。国内一个研究机构曾对一万多名职场人士做了一个调查，受访者来自包括北上广在内的十多个一线城市。调查发现，超七成的人有中度到重度的厌恶上班情绪。具体症状有情绪不稳定、拖延症发作、暴饮暴食等。专家解释说，随着社会的高速发展和人际关系的日渐复杂，职场负面情绪的问题越来越突出了，那么职场情绪管理就变得越来越重要。当一些负面情绪出现时，我们应该怎么办呢？一些朋友认为情绪天生就有，不受我们控制。一旦负面情绪出现，他们就放任自己沉浸在这种消极的状态里，失去了斗志。严重一些的，可能还会损害同事关系。其实这种想法是不对的。丽莎•巴瑞特（Lisa_Barret）是美国情绪研究的专家，她通过大量的大脑成像研究，发现情绪不是天生的，因为我们的大脑里并不存在能自动触发情绪的结构。相反，情绪是被我们后天创造出来的，也就是说，人是能够控制情绪的。但是我们说的控制并不是简单的压抑。有的人觉得在职场有负面情绪不好，就拼命地压抑这种情绪。但斯坦福大学的教授艾德•巴蒂斯塔（Ed Batista）告诉我们，抑制情绪并不是一个好办法。因为大量的研究表明，刻意抑制情绪只会让它们变得更强烈。举一个例子，哈佛大学教授丹尼尔•魏格纳（Daniel Wegner）曾经做过一项著名的心理学研究。他要求一组参与者不要在脑海中出现一只大白熊的形象。当禁令被解除后，这组参与者脑海中出现大白熊的频率反而远远高于对照组。如果你曾经节食减肥，在那个期间对火锅、麻辣烫产生过强烈的渴望，那么你一定深有同感吧。     既然压抑情绪行不通，那么我们应该怎么做呢？专家们给出的建议是要努力培养“情绪灵活度”。这是什么意思呢？美国情绪与行为专家苏珊•大卫（Susan David）的解释是，我们要学会觉察和接纳负面情绪，然后积极灵活地做出改变。具体要怎么做呢？她给我们支了四招，来听一下： 第一招，察觉。在负面情绪出现的时候，我们要能够识别它。虽然有时候识别情绪很难，但我们还是能够发现一些信号的。一个明显的信号是某种情绪在一段时间内反复出现，这个时候你就要警觉了。比如，你发现自己一直处于自责的怪圈。另一个信号是这个心理状态在过去也出现过。比如你对一位同事有负面看法，然后你发现，你之前对另一位同事也有过非常相似的负面看法，这个时候就要察觉到，这可能是我们自己的负面情绪导致的。第二招是客观化。在察觉到自己的负面情绪后，要学会把主观认识和客观事实分离。比如，“我这个月的指标没有完成，我真是没用”，把这个情绪分解来看，前半句是一个客观事实，但后半句并不是，只是自己的沮丧情绪罢了。这个方法可以让你不被情绪牵着鼻子走。 第三招，接纳。在客观化负面情绪后，我们要学会接受自己的负面情绪，不刻意回避它。苏珊•大卫（Susan David）认为负面情绪是人很正常的反应，所以不要惊慌。我们也要学会同情自己，给自己打气。比如，你可以试着像安慰朋友那样安慰自己。你可以对自己说：“你已经尽力了，所以没必要再垂头丧气。更何况，负面情绪并不能解决任何问题，你需要重新振作。”第四招，运用价值观。安慰了自己之后，该怎么振作起来呢？这个时候我们可以用上自己的价值观，问问自己，目前对自己来说最重要的是什么。然后，你可以把它当作你的行动目标，试着做一些改变。这样一来，就算你在行动中又有了负面情绪，你也能清楚地知道自己的目标在哪里，而不会被情绪捉弄，失去奋斗的方向。以上就是我想和你分享的内容，先察觉、再客观化、然后接纳、最后运用价值观，记住这四招，一起有效地管理负面情绪吧。Source:1. 情绪管理，最容易被忽视的职场能力2. 你并非受情绪所摆布──是你的大脑创造了你的情绪3. 培养情绪灵活度，驾驭职场负面情绪4. 工作没完没了？因为你不懂得什么叫做选择性放弃！5. 六大原则，管理职场情绪6. 职场“丧班族”报告：近半职场人有严重上班恐惧症撰稿 | 程钰主持人 | 褚笑，前中央人民广播电台主持人，《新知日历》节目总监制主编 | 韩悦思编辑 | 贺喆然节目运营 | 柳婷婷专辑图视觉创意 | 贺归昀主视觉 | 李芳舟
