In today's episode, we met Angela and Yonason, and boy was this a wonderful conversation! Using storytelling as the basis for our healing and growth, we traversed many topics and challenges we face as humans and how we can move forward.Here's a summary of what we discussed:9:45 - there is no competition17:50 - the person who is happy is…20:52 - the secret of happiness27:00 - storytelling as a gift41:44 - the strength in oppositesand much more…Enjoy!Here's some information about our guests:Angela LeghFounder, Storyteller & CreatorI lived through much adversity; and as it is said, what didn't kill me made me stronger. I had an abusive, alcoholic father whose behavior had a major impact on my life. Based on his behavior, my young mind decided that rage was an emotion no one should feel. My judgement of anyone who became enraged did not serve me well in my first marriage, nor in my life. A wildfire destroyed our home . . . that was the catalyst for significant change in my life. Over 12 months, I lost my home to fire, left my marriage, quit my job, and moved across the world. During this journey I discovered many tools for overcoming adversity and achieving emotional balance. I now share these tools with children through the power of story; because with this knowledge, they can make better life choices.ContactW: https://www.angelalegh.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/AngelaLeghauthor/I: https://www.instagram.com/angelalegh.author/LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-legh-6b913b184/Yonason GoldsonCEO & Founder, Ethical ImperativesYonason Goldson, director of Ethical Imperatives, LLC, works with professionals to create a culture of ethics that builds trust, sparks initiative, and drives productivity.  He's a keynote and TEDx speaker, trainer, coach, and community rabbi, as well as a podcast host, columnist and author, repentant hitchhiker, world traveler, and retired high school teacher in St. Louis.

This session for the INFODEMIC Conference features speakers, Drs. Travis Rieder, Nancy Berlinger, and Arthur Caplan. INFODEMIC is a Stanford conference on social media and COVID-19 misinformation in 2021, has released open access podcasts of their discussions.

"Instead of seeing differences as a source of contention, we should see an opportunity for great partnerships between people who are very different from one another." Rabbi Yonason Goldson Whether written or not, the framework of ethics that underlies our existence remains a key determinant of the quality of lives that we live. It helps us make decisions that create desirable outcomes and steers us away from unjust outcomes. Our gust today, Rabbi Yonason Goldson, advocates for a culture of ethics at all levels and says that it all starts from understanding and defining what ethics means to us. Yonason Goldson, director of Ethical Imperatives, LLC, works with leaders to create a culture of ethics that builds trust, sparks initiative, and drives productivity. He's a keynote and TEDx speaker, trainer, coach, and community rabbi, as well as a columnist and author, repentant hitchhiker, world traveler, and retired high school teacher in St. Louis. He has published hundreds of articles applying ancient rabbinic wisdom to the challenges of the modern secular world and six books, most recently "Grappling with the Gray: an ethical handbook for personal success and business prosperity." In today's episode, our guest will talk about ethics and its role in having functional relationships at all levels. He will also give insights into the ethical qualities that a leader needs to cultivate for better outcomes.   Listen in! Social Media https://www.yonasongoldson.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/yonason-goldson/   https://www.youtube.com/c/yonasongoldson https://www.facebook.com/yonasongoldson/ https://twitter.com/yonasongoldson  https://www.instagram.com/yonasongoldson/  https://www.tiktok.com/@yonasongoldson When we go into business, we're often very focused on what we want, or if we're a little more sophisticated, what we provide, but what we should also be thinking about is with whom we are dealing. [3:04] Relationships are the foundation of all success in our personal lives, professional lives, and [3:17] When we consider ethics, one of the problems we have is that we don't have a good definition of ethics, which means we don't know how we can be ethical people. [3:30] What I've come up with is that ethics is the discipline of recognizing and taking responsibility for the impact our actions have on other people. [3:42] In order to have that recognition and take that responsibility, we have to have a sense of who other people are, show them that we are trustworthy, and show that we are willing to trust them. [3:53] Instead of seeing differences as a source of contention, we should see an opportunity for great partnerships between people who are very different from one another. [4:32] If we're both good at the same thing, that means at least one of us is wasting our effort. [4:48] Ethics is not nearly as much about what is the right thing to do but about contemplating what the right thing to do is. It is priorities, competing values, sensitivity to the spirit of the law, and not just the letter of the law. [5:18] When we develop our ethical mindset, that's what enables us to approach all our relationships and decisions in an ethical way, which ultimately drives the greatest possible success in everything we do. [5:46] We emphasize compliance, but it can become the enemy of ethics because if I relegate my decision-making to a code of rules, I don't have to think about whether it's really the right thing to do. [6:40] When I finished college, I went backpacking across Europe and ended up in Israel. I had been raised with really no knowledge of what it meant to be Jewish. [7:10] I was astonished to discover this vibrant culture of deep meaning, purpose, thought, and values, which changed the trajectory of my life. [7:20] I bring that ancient wisdom into the modern secular world and show how the answers are all there; we have to update the language a little bit so that we can recognize how it applies to us and how it guides us regardless of our religious identity or affiliation. [7:33] Jim Rohn famously says you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, and it's not just the friends. It is also what we consume in media. [9:00] When traveling through Europe, I was on a train from Luxembourg to Cologne, Germany, and I shared a car with a German journalist and invited me into his home. [11:20] To meet someone from that culture and learn about him as an individual, not as a label, is a memory that I've kept with me for 40 years. [11:55] In my book, I used a formula that I use in much of my training, presenting ethical dilemmas of not trying to say it is right or wrong but trying to understand an issue from both sides and finding a middle way. [12:55] It is broken up into social, business headlines, education, and the different areas of life where we have to grapple with the gray areas to make ethical decisions. [11:33] Commercial break. [14:03] It is all about taking responsibility for ourselves, recognizing the mistakes we've made, the areas where we could and should improve, and making a plan for moving forward. [15:30] We know what we should do and what we want to do, but we don't plan how to put it into practice. [16:00] My approach is, if we focus on our mindset and the behaviors will start to follow. [16:22] I use ethics as an acronym to give characteristics that describe ethical leaders and ethical people. [16:32] E is for empathy which entails knowing other people and being sensitive to them by understanding how our actions affect them. [16:45] The T is Trust, where I demonstrate that I'm trustworthy and know that if I'm not willing to trust you, it will be difficult for you to trust me. [16:53] The H is humility which Pastor Rick Warren defines as not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less. [17:08] The I is inquisitiveness or inquiry because leaders need to ask questions and not wait to be told or asked and not be given permission to serve. [18:24] C is for courage because it is often difficult to do the right thing. [18:52] S is self-discipline because building is a process, and when you get to the end, you start over again and keep building. [19:20] This needs continued reinforced where I need to surround myself with people who are committed to ethical values. [20:40] I am not going to get it right all the time, but it is a commitment to do and another opportunity to learn [20:52] I recommend tapping into this eternal, timeless wisdom that we have access to in ancient teachings to fix our culture, fix our company's business, fix our summers, and fix our families and our communities. [24:45] A few basic principles include showing trust to earn trust, telling stories of grappling with ethical challenges to inspire ethical behavior, and showing appreciation by celebrating the successes of others. [24:59] Suppose we employ these simple principles, and learn how to turn these ideas into action. In that case, we can see our relationships improving, our businesses will be more profitable, our families will be more at peace, and our communities will be much more functional.

In this episode, Christina Martini and Yonason Goldson discuss: The crisis of ethics facing the world today.  Treating others fairly without unreasonable expectations.  The onset of COVID and how it has added to Yonason’s message personally and professionally. Supporting and lifting one another through struggles and life.  Earning trust before demanding trust.    Key Takeaways: When it comes to ethics, the first place to start is with ourselves.  There have to be consequences and uncomfortable conversations when performance does not meet standards, however, there should be incentives for good behavior, not just punishment for bad behavior.  We are all having different challenges - we need to find ways that we can lift and support one another.  Let others speak, hear their points of view, and ideas will often emerge from unlikely sources or people who would not have been heard otherwise.    "If employers would say to their employees, ‘Listen, we understand this is difficult. We want to support you as much as possible. We need you to take more responsibility for yourselves. And we're going to trust you to do that until we have a reason not to.’ Well, when you speak to people that way, it tends to encourage them to hold themselves more accountable." — Yonason Goldson   About Yonason Goldson: Yonason Goldson is director of Ethical Imperatives, LLC, teaching leaders how good ethics is good business and the benefits of intellectual diversity.

In this episode, Christina Martini and Yonason Goldson discuss: Yonason’s journey to keynote speaking, including teaching, hitchhiking, and living in Israel. Understanding both sides of an argument or a position to better understand your position.  The value in giving and receiving and creating a culture of trust.  The mindset of ethical decision making.    Key Takeaways: You will hear more if you listen without the intent to reply. You will learn more about them and about yourself. The more we understand people, the more we understand our place in the world.  It is fashionable to seek the truth, but it is not fashionable to find the truth.  No culture can thrive, or even survive, without trust.  Compliance is the starting point. It's not the endpoint. Compliance is often the enemy of ethics.   "The ability to understand where someone else is coming from, to see an issue from their side, makes it much easier to actually have some kind of constructive disagreement, which leads to finding common ground, which leads to developing solutions, and then ultimately leads to working together and creating a sense of community even when we may see issues differently." —  Yonason Goldson   About Yonason Goldson: Yonason Goldson is director of Ethical Imperatives, LLC, teaching leaders how good ethics is good business and the benefits of intellectual diversity.

How do you get your employees to take responsibilities for their actions? In the USA today everyone is big on their rights, but should we also be big on our responsibilities? Join us as Yonason Goldson shares his life experiences, from a cross country hitchhiker to ethics professor helping businesses create leaders that build responsibility in their staff. My Guest: Yonason Goldson Yonason Goldson is director of Ethical Imperatives, LLC, teaching professionals how good ethics is good business and the benefits of intellectual diversity. He's a keynote and TEDx speaker, trainer, coach, and community rabbi, as well as a repentant hitchhiker, recovered circumnavigator, former newspaper columnist, and retired high school teacher in St. Louis. He's authored hundreds of articles applying ancient rabbinic wisdom to the challenges of the modern secular world. He is the author of six https://www.yonasongoldson.com/books (book)s, most recently “Grappling with the Gray: an ethical handbook for personal success and business prosperity.”   Pivotal Moments: ·       When Yonason was in University California, he travelled all over the world; this had a broadening effect on his world view. ·       He got a degree in English which was stimulating, but not practical. ·       Yonason then came up with a different plan; he put on a backpack and hitch-hiked all over the country. It was very transformative. ·       Lived in Israel for 9 years, met his wife and had 2 kids there. ·       He started his career in Israel, teaching high school students. ·       He then taught in St Louis for 20 years, until the school he taught in, closed. ·       At the age of 55, he was jobless. He was not ready to retire. ·        Yonason always enjoyed teaching and speaking. He wanted to direct his message towards a professional audience. ·       His passion lay in ethical leadership, because ethics is the underpinning in everything. It's the foundation of all living. ·       He targeted professional associations as a platform/keynote speaker for their conferences. ·       He reached out to them on his own, using the encyclopedia of associations. The Advice: Ethics begins where compliance ends. Compliance, laws and legal systems give us structure and boundaries; however ethics is all about the grey, because it is a grey area. This is what develops us as human beings; it's that ethical discipline of thinking about what's the right thing to do, how my actions impact those around us, how are my contributing to a better world. If I do, then I get to live in that better world, so being selfless is being selfish. If we have that attitude in our relationships, then we will succeed in everything.  Current Struggle: Struggle 1: Yonason's struggle is finding the niche, because ethics applies to any business, but it is much more effective if one can identify the specific type of client. Yonason is thinking of looking into healthcare and medicine. As that is where he has gotten most of his clients. Currently, covid has had a significant impact on his business, because the conferences, that were his target, haven't been happening. He could join the corporate but that is too big. The Breakthrough: Estie advises that if Yonason is looking for corporate, he will be able to sell to them, because Estie doesn't know any corporate executive who doesn't want the ethical mindset of getting employees who look outside of themselves and performing above and beyond their call of duty. Business is an exchange of value for value. If Yonason wants to break into the...

What does a high school teacher do after retirement? Teach about Ethics, of course. At least that's Rabbi Yonason Goldson's journey, from a “repentant hitchhiker” to an ordained Orthodox rabbi to a jolly grandfather who converts ancient wisdom into modern-day lessons on operating by a set of ethical imperatives.   On the latest episode of the Make Meaning Podcast, Yonason talks with host Lynne Golodner about how purpose is the key to happiness and how biblical Hebrew has 8 words for joy or happiness – and all come from a root word meaning “growth.” Yonason draws from classic philosophers and ancient Jewish text to create curricula through his company, Ethical Imperatives, LLC – inspiring entrepreneurs to build a profession from a place of ethical decision-making.
