Podcasts about Essentialism

We all have a definition of success. The life we are *hopefully* actively in pursuit to achieve. But is this vision you have of success actually aligned for you?? Or is it something you have been pressured by the outside world and indoctrinated to believe you think you want?? During the first coaching session I have with all of my clients, I want to understand their desires, including their definition of success, and why. I dig deep into understanding what it is that they value and desire out of life, why these things are so important to them, and where these desires came from - do they actually align with what is true for my client, or are my clients aligning their desires out of the pressure of what others think? Inside this episode, I break down what SUCCESS really is, the 4 ways to identify what success means for you, and how in alignment you are with this definition. 

Greg McKeown, author of the New York Times bestseller, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, where he identifies what essentialism is and how to live a life by design and not by default. He shares how to lead in our church callings and counsels with intention and simplicity and what we are really here to do and how to do it. It really comes down to following the “first ping.” Listen to the full episode to find out what that means and how it will change your life!

On this classic ID the Future from the vault, biologist Michael Denton reflects on paradigm shifts in science he's witnessed in his lifetime and how his own thinking has changed.

Katrina Maggiulli, PhD candidate, Environmental Studies, and 2021–22 OHC Dissertation Fellow. My dissertation seeks to better understand how popular essentialist understandings of species are operationalized through U.S. conservation policy to create materially specific species realities. I mark key foundations of these essentialist views on species in the eugenics-supported purity rhetoric of early U.S. conservation and show how contemporary debates over biotechnology as a conservation tool and speculative imaginaries of future species enable a rethinking of these restrictive and normative views on species being.

On this episode of Uniquely Brilliant, Diana Bader and Becky Berry discuss putting ourselves first and equal to the needs of others.   When we forget to treat our needs as equal to the needs of others in our lives, we become stressed and frustrated. We prioritize their needs over our own and shortchange things like rest and relaxation. We also neglect enforcing our boundaries which puts on the highway to exhaustion.   Becky and Diana discuss the tricky areas of honoring our time and our money.   Diana reminds us that money is an exchange of energy. And it's easy to find ourselves in debt, overspending, or giving our money to others. When we're not mindful about money matters, we feel drained.   Becky shares her struggles with managing her calendar (aka her time). She forgets to do things like schedule enough times between clients and allow time for rest. When we overcommit by doing too many things or by not taking breaks, we can feel frustrated and overwhelmed.   Becky brings up a favorite Uniquely Brilliant discussion topic: Essentialism. She's reading another book relating to essentialism: 4,000 Weeks: Time Management for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. The concepts in the book echo the concepts of Essentialism: setting priorities, saying no, and enforcing boundaries.   Some tips on putting our needs first and equal:   Establish boundaries. When we set and enforce boundaries around the time we want to spend communicating with others or on social media, it helps us maintain our positive energy.   Ask for help. It's important to be bold when we ask for what we need. If we need to reschedule an appointment, ask for it. As Diana mentions, oftentimes we don't even know what our needs are and that's ok! When we figure them, it's okay (actually, it's critical) to put our needs at least equal to the needs of others in our lives.   Additional Uniquely Brilliant episodes on essentialism: Episode 130: Essentialism and Coronavirus https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/uniquelybrilliant/id/13999148   Episode 88: Essentialism https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/show/uniquelybrilliant/id/5585187 ©2022 Cronecast Podcast Network | Music ©2015 Max Brodie

What is brand positioning? When it comes to personal branding, it starts with your bio. Are you sharing your story, your passions, and your journey to attract clients? Brand positioning Let's dive into brand positioning and how you can use it to book yourself solid without getting so stressed and burnt out that you lose yourself. Elizabeth suggested that as you get older, think of your personal brand as a pirouette instead of a pivot. If you have to make changes, do so gracefully and gradually versus a jarring shift. People often think of a personal brand as needing to be on a stage speaking, writing books, famous, vocal on LinkedIn, but that is not necessarily the case. Who you are and how the world perceives you should always align. It is important to build your personal brand on who you are, not what you do. Our career is really a blip of our life and isn't what defines us. Time goes by very quickly, therefore it is important to know what brings you joy and makes you happy and to align your personal brand with your purpose. But, keep in mind this is always going to change based on circumstances and people around you. When you are doing what you love, you make more money and it doesn't feel so hard. Joy comes naturally when you are following your purpose because you are aligned with your values and passions. When you are in a positive flow, you will be more open to abundance. Two additional episodes mentioned by Robyn: Episode 150 - Living with purpose with Tayna Dalton Episode 130 - Become a limitless entrepreneur with Nicole Laino Your brand position begins with your bio Your bio is how people find out about you, it describes who you are, therefore, change the first paragraph to share something you are passionate about. The first intro of who you are should feel authentic to you. Find things that you have a very strong opinion about but are grounded in something you love. Unless you are an expert on certain topics, don't talk about them. Don't jump on the bandwagon because others are doing it or talking about it, You have to be genuine and stay aligned with your values, visions, and passions. Also, think about how your hobbies are helping you learn to be a better leader or help define your personal brand. Elizabeth gave the examples of coaching your child's baseball team or learning to make sourdough bread. There are ways that you can take everyday things that are interesting to you and make them relate to your personal brand. When you are talking about something that is truly authentic to you, you have no fear of saying the wrong thing. When you have something that is relatable, there is so much fear around sharing it, but there is also community and support when you share it. People will be grateful that you shared your story, no matter how small it seems, because they will connect with you if they've experienced it too. Vulnerability is key to discovering your brand positioning You are your journey. Every experience we've had has given us the authority to be able to help someone else. Robyn shared her story about anxiety and how sharing her journey, allows her to help her clients. We often question whether or not people will care about our stories and the things we do and love, but people appreciate these things. There is freedom in sharing without worrying about what other people think. In the search for your genuine self, are you more afraid of being accepted or rejected for who you really are? Elizabeth thinks it's more about acceptance because then you have to be that genuine you and we've lived lives that the rejected you has been accepted so it's easier to be that person. At least we tend to believe it is easier to be that person. What if people accept us for who we are with all of our flaws and imperfections? There is fear around this. Once we get past the fear, it will be easier to live as our genuine authentic selves. It gets very exhausting to live as inauthentic. Brand positioning involves vulnerability. Vulnerability is a step we have to take to find out what our personal brand looks like. It is also important not to cater to the whims of everyone around us. There is something unique about you that you can be vulnerable about. It can be anything, big or small. You are brave to share it. The positive and negative things are what your personal brand is at the core. These all help determine how others perceive you. There is an audience for everyone. When you are vulnerable and share your story, if there are people who don't like it, they aren't your people. There is an audience for everyone. Our job isn't to make everyone love us, but to attract those people who will love us in return. What is brand positioning and how does it help us build our personal brand to attract clients? Elizabeth recommends starting with your bio. That is who you are, how people find you, and how people learn about you. It is the first thing people ask for. Switch the first paragraph around to tell who you are, not just what you do. Then dive into 2 to 3 things that you are comfortable diving into. Things from your life experiences and your story that are relatable and worth sharing. Elizabeth recommended the book Essentialism. It is about the idea that we can't do everything great, and focus on the 1 to 2 things we are really good at. Instead of trying to do it all ourselves, know what you know and what you don't know, and delegate it. For people who want more of a public appearance, choose a social network. Whether you use LinkedIn, Twitter, or Instagram, pick one and go with it. When thinking about your personal brand, think about what happens if you die tomorrow. What will people say about you? This may sound very dark, but you want to leave a legacy that is beyond the work you do. What can you do right now to make sure that what you want people to say about you, they are saying right now? Work backward, what is that feeling you want people to have about you, and then start doing and living the way you want to be remembered.

This is a rebroadcast. The episode originally ran in August 2016. Greg McKeown has dedicated his career to discovering why some people and teams break through to the next level—and others don't. The definitive treatment of this issue is addressed in his New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. Greg hosts The Essentialism Podcast and is the CEO of McKeown Inc., with clients including Adobe, Apple, Google, Facebook, Pixar, Salesforce.com, Symantec, Twitter, VMware, and Yahoo!. Originally from London, England, Greg now lives near Phoenix, Arizona, with his wife Anna and their family. In this interview Greg and Kurt talk about how the principle of Essentialism applies to his calling as bishop and the culture at-large in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. At the time of this recording, Greg was serving as bishop of his ward in California. Highlights 1:30 Introduction and Greg's background and how he ended up in America 9:00 Greg's testimony development 14:00 How Greg met his wife 16:30 Greg was a coauthor with Liz Wiseman on the book, Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter. 19:00 Getting called as bishop 21:50 What is Essentialism? The disciplined pursuit of less. 22:40 Greg talks about his book Essentialism and why he wrote it. 30:30 The closet analogy of essentialism and how it relates to leadership Our obligation as leaders is not to our traditions, to the past, or to what other people are doing. Strip away all the things that are non-essentials. 36:30 The power of saying no. Can I say no to “inspired” requests? Remember to pause and think. Remember that the Lord's voice wins over any other voice. Divine tradeoffs are a requirement of our lives. There are always hard tradeoffs. There are good and great things but we need to do the essential things. 43:20 Think of all the things that Jesus DIDN'T do. He didn't feel the obligation to do everything. He did His Father's will. 45:30 How do you create a culture of essentialism in your ward? Focus on the people instead of the programs and activities. When it comes to meetings in the church, have a tight purpose and a loose agenda. 55:45 Thomas S. Monson's experience struggling with the social obligations of his calling versus following the spirit. His life was a beautiful example of putting people first and the social obligations second. 58:30 Think about what sacrifice really is. For thousands of years it meant to kill and to cut a baby lamb. In our day it means to eliminate, or to make a tradeoff. You can't do it all.

[#40] We get together to take a Buzzfeed-style D&D race quiz and see what happens. Essentialism aside, it's a fun exercise in exploring the assumptions the game makes about its core cultures, and we learned a little more about each other along the way. There's a million such quizzes, but we used this one. We didn't get around to the D&D Class Quiz, but we had one picked out.  As with D&D characters, there are levels of passive aggression. Ancestry & Culture: An Alternative to Race in 5e from Arcanist Press is widely regarded as an excellent corrective to some of the problems with how 5e handles character races.    Everything we love can be found at curmudgeonsanddragons.com • Theme Music: º Crunk Knight by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3566-crunk-knight • Transition Music: º Thatched Villagers by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4481-thatched-villagers License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Hosted by Jason Portizo, Josey Diaz, Jim Crocker, and Greg Genovas Produced and Edited by Jason Portizo Curmudgeons and Dragons is a JTP Audio production

In this episode of Uniquely Brilliant, Becky Berry and Diana Bader discuss ways to approach the smorgasbord that is life.   Diana starts by discussing her recent experience on a cruise where she learned cruises no longer put out smorgasbords of food like they did before COVID. She draws a parallel between choosing from a smorgasbord and choosing priorities and goals that allow us to enjoy the smorgasbord of life.    Becky brings this back to essentialism, since essentialism is about focusing on solely the things that are essential to our lives.    Additional episodes where Becky and Diana discuss Essentialism: Episode 88: Essentialism Episode 130: Essentialism and Coronavirus.    They also discuss the importance of delegating tasks so we aren't taking on everything that's thrown at us. Diana points out that in order to delegate, we must be able to relinquish control of the task. This also requires asking someone we trust to follow through with the task.   Becky shares her struggles with wanting to provide instant answers to everyone. She reminds us that we do not always have to answer questions immediately. It's critical to ask when someone needs an answer so we can figure out where the request fits in our priorities.    Diana and Becky observe that our priorities change throughout time. So, we may find that things we put on our plates even a year ago are no longer critical to us.   It is important to constantly query our options and evaluate what we can let go of that's not important to us and what we can delegate.   When we like something, it's okay to try it or taste it. And, if it's not to our taste, we don't have to do, wear, or consume it. We can think about our priorities, and choose to put it down.    Diana shares that many of the things she procrastinates on are frequently things she can turn over to someone else.   Becky and Diana wrap up by reminding us that it's okay to ask for help and stress that it's critical to our mental health to know when to ask for help. And, if the people we ask can't help us, we can ask them to refer us to someone who can.    ©2022 Cronecast Podcast Network | Music ©2015 Max Brodie

So recently I embarked on a challenge with a few friends. We read Greg McKeown's Essentialism: The disciplined pursuit of less. The common feeling through the group was that we all often take on way more projects than we might have the capacity to handle.

Action Plan: https://jimharshawjr.com/ACTION Free Clarity Call: https://jimharshawjr.com/APPLY Fast doesn't guarantee first. Easy doesn't mean lazy. Break out of the rat race and learn how to make life— and success— effortless. Greg McKeown has dedicated his career to discovering why some people and teams break through to the next level— and others don't. The definitive treatment of this issue is addressed in Greg's New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, “Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.” This book challenges core assumptions about achievement to get to the essence of what really drives success. Last year, Greg released another New York Times bestselling book, “Effortless: Make It Easier to Do What Matters Most”— an empowering guide to achieving your goals that starts with a simple principle: not everything has to be so hard. Aside from being a prolific writer, Greg is also the CEO of McKeown Inc., a leadership and strategy design agency headquartered in Silicon Valley. Their clients include Adobe, Apple, Google, Facebook, Pixar, Twitter, and Yahoo!. I last interviewed Greg back in 2016 where we went on a deep dive into the practice of essentialism. This time, we delve into the mindset of effortlessness: why easy doesn't mean lazy, how to overcome the inertia to get started, and more. Tune in now!

Banks Benitez joined Uncharted in 2012 as an unpaid intern, and became the CEO in 2017. Since stepping in as CEO, Banks and his leadership have tripled the size of the team and doubled their revenue. Also during the pandemic, Banks moved to a four-day workweek at the same wages. In this episode, Banks shares his insight on the move to a four-day week, and the lessons learned about time management, mental health, and productivity. As a CEO, Banks went  from 52 hours a week to 34 hours a week!   Key Takeaways [1:50] Advice Jim and Jan give to veterans is, “If you hear about really interesting people, just reach out to them.” [2:20] Banks has not only grown his organization to triple its size but shifted to a four-day workweek. [5:20] Banks is currently reading Making Numbers Count, by Chip Heath. [6:20] Banks shares his story on how he got selected for Rotary International. [9:35] Jan believes understanding anthropology will also help you towards being a better leader. [11:00] Banks talks a little bit about his company, Uncharted, and the inspiration behind it. [12:15] It's so easy to be a fixer of problems. As a leader, Banks found himself spending all of his time making things “less bad.” [13:35] Banks and his COO decided to change things up after feeling burned out within the company. They decided to go on the offensive instead of being on the defensive. [17:55] Banks is a few months into his company working on a four-day workweek. He shares his results so far. [20:35] Banks was nervous at first when he had to talk to his investors and clients about this. He was worried they would not see him as a serious company. [23:15] Banks has noticed that his team really hates a three-day week. [24:55] Prior to converting over to a four-day workweek, Banks decided to hire a third party to help evaluate the productivity and measure if it made sense to convert over. [28:34] The book Essentialism, by Greg McKeown was critical in determining what was important work and what was not. [29:55] Jim and Jan hear topics about mental health all the time with their clients. It's important. People are getting burned out. [30:30] You can easily quantify turnover costs and when people burn out, and how much it takes to replace that talent. A four-day workweek makes you competitive. [35:50] Banks explains how Uncharted works and how they've been a successful non-profit company. [37:40] Entrepreneurs who are successful tend to be coachable and follow up/follow through. [39:45] Sell the problem, not the solution. [43:55] Busyness and working “hard” is a cultural value that needs to be questioned. [44:35] When Banks closes his laptop on Thursday night, he still feels incomplete. There's still a lot to get done. [45:35] The more you focus on brute force hard work, the less you are refining your “decisive” muscle. [48:40] Listener challenge: Plant yourself in the richest soil you possibly can.   Quotable Quotes “It's so easy to be a fixer of problems. It's easier to fill holes, but it's harder to build peaks.” “We spent the whole month of May in 2020 to how we might optimize our work week; the ways we could get smarter about how we structure our time.” “Not all hours of the workweek are created equally. They are some hours that are productive. There are some hours that are a complete waste of time.” “My day before, I was working 52 hours a week. Now I am down to 34 hours a week.” “The best entrepreneurs that we work with are those who are really good at handling a lot of loose ties.”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Uncharted.org Banks on LinkedIn Banks on Twitter Outsideonline.com Heathbrothers.com Rotary.org Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, by Yuval Noah Harari Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, by Greg Mckeown  

Does your to-do list make you feel burned out? Part of the problem comes from our hustle culture that glorifies people who “have it all” by doing it all. But, in reality, we can't have–or do–it all, all the time. How can we avoid this burnout when we have so much to do? Greg McKeown has studied and written extensively on this subject. The answer: essentialism. Essentialism is the practice of paring down your life to only the essential. (Ex: simplifying your priorities AND your to-do list.) But, what happens when even the most essential tasks of life STILL overwhelm you? This was also the case for Greg. He discovered that although essentialism is THE start to living a more balanced life, there's another step that follows: making what's essential effortless.  In this episode, Greg talks about how you (as a REAL woman) can implement his ideas. You'll leave with two questions you can ask when you feel burned out: “Is this essential?” And, “How can I make what is essential effortless?”  Plus, you'll hear practical steps you can take to actually apply this in your life.  If you want to avoid burnout AND have the ability to do what matters most without the hustle, you won't want to miss this episode!

The Series: Exploring the history of an idea, the story of the major developments in our collective understanding of the word “mysticism.” Join us as we attempt to understand what this word meant historically, how it came to mean what it does today, and what, if anything, it might mean for us going forward. Learning how this category was formed, transformed, discussed and debated throughout the ages. Join us for a journey from the Ancient Greek mystery religions, through the early Christian centuries up into the Middle Ages, through the Renaissance, into the Early Modern period, the Enlightenment, ending with the Modern and Post-Modern decades of its study, debate and development.
