GiveDirectly is an extraordinary organisation, working to end extreme poverty through an idea that is simple but revolutionary: give cash directly to people in extreme poverty and let them decide what they need most. Research shows this approach is not only effective but also deeply empowering.Since I (Robbie) first read about GiveDirectly in 2017, it has been the focus of almost all my charitable giving: I find the research-backed practices and incredibly meaningful recipient stories so compelling that almost every time I have thought in detail about the organisation and what they do, I have increased my regular giving.In this special Podcasthon episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Stephanie Hill, the VP, People at GiveDirectly, joins me to explore the connections between teaching, coaching, and leadership, and to outline the transformational work that GiveDirectly does.From her days working to recruit and develop thousands of teachers in New York City to her role in helping a rapidly scaling global nonprofit build strong teams, Stephanie shares deep insights into learning, growth, and the power of trusting people to know what they need.In this episode, we discuss, on GiveDirectly:Why giving cash directly to the poorest people in the world works!Common misconceptions about cash transfers as a form of philanthropy.Amazing stories from GiveDirectly's recipients.The Power of Trust – why both great coaching and effective philanthropy start from the belief that people know what they need.And on learning, coaching, culture and more:The Gradual Release Model – how great teaching (and coaching) helps people build confidence and autonomy over time.Lessons from Scaling – what it takes to grow an organization quickly while keeping core values intact.Building a Culture of Learning – how GiveDirectly fosters ongoing development among its globally distributed team.Leading with Values - how has GiveDirectly taken its company values and actually brought them to life.Stephanie's personal leadership journey – what she learned from recruiting and training 5,000 teachers a year and how those lessons apply to coaching, leadership and organizational growth today.This episode is packed with wisdom for coaches, leaders, and anyone passionate about learning, development, and making a meaningful impact.I can't wait to share GiveDirectly's amazing work with you, but it's not just that this is an amazing charity that made me want to feature GiveDirectly on the show; it's that it's a charity whose work closely aligns with the philosophy of coaching.At its heart, coaching is about trusting people, believing they have the answers within them, and supporting them to make the best choices for their own lives.GiveDirectly operates on the same principle. Rather than imposing solutions, it hands people the resources to create their own change. For coaches who want to make a difference in the world beyond their work, I can't think of a better organization to support: if you've never quite found a focus for your charitable giving that really resonates, or if you've ever wondered how you can contribute in a way that aligns with the values of coaching — courage, trust, empowerment, and belief in human potential — GiveDirectly could be a powerful answer.If you have a few pounds or dollars to spare this month or every month, consider giving to GiveDirectly. They will send it to someone for whom those few pounds or dollars will go further than you can possibly imagine, as part of a story of courage, empowerment and trust in the beauty of human nature.For more information about GiveDirectly, visit: https://www.givedirectly.org/ or https://www.linkedin.com/company/givedirectlyTo donate to GiveDirectly, visit: https://www.givedirectly.org/donate/For more information about Stephanie, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-hill-1232028For more information about Robbie Swale, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/.Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.THINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:Rutger Bregman: https://www.rutgerbregman.com/Bregman on tax at Davos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8ijiLqfXP0Bregman's TED Talk - "Poverty isn't a lack of character; it's a lack of cash": https://www.ted.com/talks/rutger_bregman_poverty_isn_t_a_lack_of_character_it_s_a_lack_of_cash/ Utopia for Realists: https://www.rutgerbregman.com/books/utopia-for-realists GiveDirectly Live: https://live.givedirectly.org/ GiveDirectly's Research: https://www.givedirectly.org/research-at-give-directly/ Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow%27s_hierarchy_of_needs GiveDirectly Donation Link for the US: https://www.givedirectly.org/donate/ GiveDirectly Donation Link for the UK: https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/5197#!/DonationDetailsHow to donate to GiveDirectly from other countries: https://www.givedirectly.org/giving-internationally Teach for America: https://www.teachforamerica.org/TeachFirst: https://www.teachfirst.org.uk/The GROW Model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GROW_model Inner Game of Tennis by Timothy Gallwey: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inner-Game-Tennis-ultimate-performance/dp/1035047926 GiveDirectly NPR Article: https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/12/02/781152563/researchers-find-a-remarkable-ripple-effect-when-you-give-cash-to-poor-families Carol Dweck and Growth Mindset: https://www.amazon.com/Mindset-Psychology-Carol-S-Dweck/dp/0345472322Elena Aguilar and "Mind the Gap": https://www.edweek.org/education/opinion-the-key-to-working-with-adult-learners-mind-the-gap/2018/02 Fred Kofman: https://www.fredkofman.org/The GiveDirectly Values: https://www.givedirectly.org/givedirectly-values/ The Leadership Pipeline (book): https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Pipeline-Second-Edition-Developing/dp/0470894563How to Help GiveDirectly: https://www.givedirectly.org/how-to-help/Work at GiveDirectly: https://www.givedirectly.org/careers/ Podcasthon: https://podcasthon.org/ Book your place at Robbie and Claire Pedrick's event in Malvern in 2025: The Artful Coach and the Soulful Coaching Business. Read more here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/3dcoaching/1504338 FULL BIOGRAPHY FROM STEPHANIE Stephanie began her career as an educator. After university, she joined Teach For America in New York City and taught English Literature to low-income High School students in The Bronx while getting her Master's degree in teaching. She then worked for Teach For America as a coach to cohorts of new teachers.After a brief stint as a recruiter, she joined the New York City Department of Education to build a new model for teacher preparation - one that would integrate theory and practice and include a longer, more intentional gradual release of responsibility for new recruits. The program also created a new career-ladder position for the supervisors of these aspiring teachers - experienced educators who were selected and trained to not just share their classroom, but also provide targeted, actionable modeling and feedback that would accelerate the learning process.Stephanie worked to scale that program to prepare over 500 new teachers for NYC's hardest to staff schools each year, while eventually taking on leadership of the city's overall teacher recruitment and preparation - where she led a team to recruit and place over 5,000 new teachers each year.In April of 2020, she joined the international non-profit organization GiveDirectly as their first VP, People, just as the organization was going through a period of rapid growth, with ~75% headcount increase year over year. GiveDirectly takes an innovative approach to aid by giving unconditional cash to people living in extreme poverty, often using a technology-forward approach to maximize efficiency (and therefore dollars to recipients). Stephanie is proud to have led the People function for the past 5 years - building and defining recruitment, people operations, learning and development, talent planning and employee engagement for the organization.

Fred Kofman visits Google to discuss his book “Conscious Business”. Consciousness is the main source of organizational greatness. Conscious business means finding your passion and expressing your essential values through your work. A conscious business seeks to promote the intelligent pursuit of happiness in all its stakeholders. It produces sustainable, exceptional performance through the solidarity of its community and the dignity of each member. It also fosters personal fulfillment in the individuals, mutual respect in the community, and success in the organization. This book is the definitive resource for achieving what really matters in the workplace and beyond. Fred Kofman is an executive coach and advisor on leadership and culture. He is founder and president of the Conscious Business Center. In 2018, Fred accepted a position as Vice President at Google in charge of advising the CEO's office on leadership and culture. Previously, he was Vice President of executive development at LinkedIn. Originally published in March of 2007. Visit http://youtube.com/TalksAtGoogle/ to watch the video.

Guest: Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss Without Losing Your Humanity and Radical Respect: How To Work Together BetterAfter her first management book Radical Candor became a worldwide bestseller, Kim Scott found herself giving talks to all kinds of companies about how they could apply her advice and build a stronger, kinder culture. But then, after one such talk, the CEO — a longtime friend and former coworker — came up to Kim with an asterisk. As a Black woman, she explained, “as soon as I offer anyone even the most compassionate, gentle criticism, I get assigned the ‘angry Black woman' stereotype.” Kim realized in that moment that her book needed a prequel of sorts, explaining what you need to have before you can create radical candor: “You're not going to care about people who you don't respect,” she says.In this episode, Kim and Joubin discuss regret minimization, Juice Software, Sheryl Sandberg, saying “um,” moments of connection, Dick Costolo, negative truths, James March, snobbery, Charles Ferguson, Shona Brown, Fred Kofman, Christa Quarles, Jason Rosoff, Andy Grove, founders as outliers, Jack Dorsey, Steve Jobs, glows and grows, the Post Ranch Inn, failing your colleagues, sexual harassment, DEI, and intellectual honesty.In this episode, we cover:(01:04) - Loud voices (03:59) - Writing a bestseller (07:48) - Why Kim wrote Radical Candor (14:21) - How to show you care (18:04) - Coaching tech CEOs (21:24) - Ruinous empathy and obnoxious aggression (25:40) - Leaving things unsaid (30:30) - Not an academic (35:21) - Learning from failed startups (38:55) - Performance reviews (42:30) - Why feedback feels risky (49:21) - How to reject feedback (53:11) - Creating space for feedback at home (56:08) - Running and sleeping (59:45) - Radical Respect and Kim's other books (01:04:27) - The hardest story to share (01:06:44) - Optimism about the future Links:Connect with KimBuy Radical Candor: Be a Kickass Boss Without Losing Your HumanityPre-order Radical Respect: How To Work Together BetterTwitterLinkedInConnect with JoubinTwitterLinkedInEmail: grit@kleinerperkins.com Learn more about Kleiner PerkinsThis episode was edited by Eric Johnson from LightningPod.fm

Fortune 500 Leadership Coach Wisdom: Navigating Challenges, Fostering Resilience, and Leading with Purpose Fred Kofman, co-founder of the Hoffman Kofman Foundation, along with Reid Hoffman and Zur Genosar, has a rich business background. Formerly an MIT professor in Economics, Fred has held leadership roles in LinkedIn and Google, and he is an international consultant for leadership. Residing in Mexico with his family, he is deeply passionate about Israel. We met during the Hoffman Kofman Foundation transformative leadership program, and I had the opportunity to learn from him, dive into deep and meaningful conversations with him and exchange insights about leadership, business & life itself.   Throughout his extensive career, Fred has collaborated with top industry leaders, offering them a broad perspective on life and work. From an educated and experienced standpoint, we delve into the three most significant lessons we believe are crucial for humanity, society, and top performers leading global innovation, technology, and the economy:   Response-Ability in Startups: Fred emphasizes the importance of a startup mentality—realizing that while one may not be responsible for everything, the ability to respond to any situation is vital. In essence, it's about taking ownership and being able to adapt to challenges, fostering a culture of response-ability.   Adapting to Challenges: Fred draws an analogy: "There's no such thing as bad weather, there's only bad gear." This underscores the idea that preparation is key; unforeseen challenges are inevitable, but how well-prepared you are determines your ability to navigate them effectively.   Effectiveness and Resilience: Fred stresses the significance of resilience in achieving success. He points out that being effective means being resilient, as setbacks are bound to occur. Learning to navigate challenges is more important than simply relishing success, as the former equips individuals with the tools needed for sustained success.   Moving on to the broader perspective of success, Fred highlights the need to align personal values with one's mission. Just as Viktor Frankl emphasized in "Man's Search for Meaning," following one's values provides a guiding force. When individuals align themselves with their values, these values become the driving force propelling them forward.   Few Thoughts on Leadership  We delve into leadership and its essence. He asks a crucial question: Do you want to make your employees do something, or do you want to make them want to do something? The distinction lies in inspiring people to be motivated intrinsically, fostering a connection to the mission rather than merely following a leader.   Fred and I (Gali) agree on the importance of leaders being ego-free. It's about focusing on the mission rather than personal achievements. Leaders should inspire their teams to follow the mission, creating a self-sustaining drive even in the absence of explicit guidance.   Reflecting on his career journey, Fred introduces the concept of servant leadership—leading to serve the mission, with the mission taking precedence. He acknowledges moments when he sought coaching, emphasizing the value of both giving and receiving guidance.   Navigating Difficult Moments Addressing the challenges of maintaining an optimistic outlook, Fred shares a personal low point on October 7th. Despite feeling that things couldn't get worse, they did on October 8th, when we all faced the trauma and the response of the world. Fred emphasizes the importance of honoring such feelings while recognizing their transient nature, and that's also what brought him to Israel, to support its people and organizations. “I have a dream for a long time which is to work with people that would combine the courage and the heart of a warrior, with the spirituality, compassion and love of a monk, and the intelligence and the application of wisdom like an engineer”.   The conversation concludes with Fred's vision for the Hoffman Kofman Foundation. He envisions working with individuals embodying the courage of a warrior, the spirituality of a monk, and the wisdom of an engineer. The Foundation aims to leave a lasting impact by combining these diverse qualities through its Leadership Programs.  I personally was fortunate to take part in this program & journey.

He is the author of the trilogy Metamanagement (2001), The Meaning Revolution (2018) and the book that we will be discussing today, Conscious Business (2006).

In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, I invited a true master of the art of listening to interview me about my own journey and the transformations that have happened – and continue to happen – along the way.Raquel Ark, the founder of listening ALCHEMY, deftly opens up a conversation in which I share what it was like to realise that my life was not what I wanted it to be, and how the pain of that realisation prompted me to look at uncomfortable things.I now know that an experience being uncomfortable does not make it the wrong thing to do – and often, the opposite is true.Raquel makes space for me to talk about how I discovered what is unusual and different about me, and how these things made me well suited to coaching.Our conversation hones in on the transformational power of being true to yourself, being aligned with your values, and letting that inform the outcomes that emerge. In this episode, we talk about:How Agile methodology guided a transformation in my life and careerGetting ourselves off the hook of the outcomeHow to feed our energy, and not drain itThe people who see our potential and help us reach itLeading with honour and putting all of you into your workHow to be successful without compromising your valuesI also talk about the meaning behind my resistance to partnerships in a conversation that allows me to simultaneously discover and share insights into my development as a person and as a practitioner.To learn more about me, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/, and to learn more about Raquel, visit https://listeningalchemy.com/ For information about my wider work, my writing or to buy my books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

Our guest on the podcast this week is Tony Bonney, an Australian who has an interesting background that has led him to do truly valuable change-making work in the world. He began his working life as a rock and roll agent and concert promoter, and over time found his way to becoming the strategic mind behind customer engagement for global brands. I think it's true to say that Tony has always been exploring what creates lasting, sustainable connections. This led Tony to create Grow On Purpose. Grow helps leaders and organizations to understand what makes their best version of themselves so great, and how to bring it into the experiences of their teams and customers; creating lasting differentiation. Today Tony models his version of life with a passion that you can feel as he talks. He shares his own life journey from rock and roll agent to event organizer to reimagining business with his clients, from both an individual and systemic perspective. As he says he hasn't wanted to tread the well-worn path in life, and chose instead to live according to the beat of his own drum. As a rock and roll agent, he asked himself, what makes fans fall in love with this band and not that one? What's the alchemy of things that goes on? This inquiry led to him experimenting to see what worked and through this, he began developing a purpose-led way for the organizations he worked for. Listen in as Tony talks us through how we can find our own version and begin to live into it in aligned ways and in doing so we shift into becoming more aware and conscious. We discuss the importance of safety, the impetus of dissatisfaction, and how self-determination lies at the very core of successful change. How breaking things down into simple manageable terms, with the intention of just a 1% change that will compound over time is actually the best way to evolve. We talked through the tensions of our times, the importance of context, and what we can do if we find ourselves in a place we didn't intend to be. So many insights! If you are feeling some tension within, maybe you are a leader, consultant, or work within organizational life, then I think you will gain some great insights from Tony that will inspire you to embrace different perspectives. You can begin your own inquiry to create capability and human connection in your life and the lives of others around you. I suspect you'll enjoy Tony's perspective on the simple things we can do to bring more of yourself to work. I suspect you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Key Takeaways Tony's life path and how music has inspired his work How curiosity is important to our lives and enables us to keep growing What steps you can take to explore and discover your version, and then bring it to life How unhappiness and tension is the fuel for change and evolution How you can bring yourself to life in meaningful ways even in the humblest of situations Memorable Quote “Everyone has the capability to do the 1% change, it doesn't need to be big or heroic” —Tony Bonney Episode Resources: http://www.growonpurpose.com.au/ (Tony's Website) https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-bonney-3095833/ (Tony's Linkedin) https://amzn.to/3QT4J4x (Book: Conscious Business by Fred Kofman) https://amzn.to/3w8YCBg (Book: Firms Of Endearment by Raj Sisodia et al) http://sacredchangemakers.com/ (SacredChangemakers.com) http://coachesbusinessschool.com/ (CoachesBusinessSchool.com) https://www.instagram.com/jayne_m_warrilow/?hl=en (Jayne Warrilow on Instagram) Thank you to our sponsor: A HUGE thank you to the members of Coaches Business School who are our podcast sponsors, and also our extended community who are helping us to make a global impact aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, all visible on our website.

"If you solve the problem on the whiteboard, you're only 10% of the way there." - Greg Rice Sometimes I'm lucky to listen to a leader who walks the talk. Someone who exemplifies leadership in all they do, and genuinely cares about treating people right. The type of leader you'd want to work with, and work for. That person is today's guest, Co-President of Klick Health, Greg Rice. He shares valuable insights from his career journey, from his early days as a new pharmacist to being part of the leadership team at the world's largest independent health marketing agency. And we also chat about the famous Klick culture! In this episode, you'll learn: - How leaders can create clarity and calm amidst the chaos - Why aligning your values to your work is critical to long-term success - The importance of amplifying the voice of junior staffers - What makes Klick's culture so special vs. other companies..and much more! Don't miss it!   Hiring the best talents When we go and pitch a large piece of business, sure the spec work that we showed them on that day is important, but we all know that spec work will never see the light of day. What they are buying into is the capability. And at that moment, we are also trying to build instant trust with them, and that comes down to the talent in the room. So if it's about talent, then from a leadership standpoint, we better try to find the best in the business and that's what we really strive to do.   Delivering clarity as a leader A leader's job is to create calmness and clarity. And that level of clarity takes time and effort. And if you get stingy on that, it can bite you. It can result to this unsettled, exhausting atmosphere that lack of clarity creates within an organization. So make sure you pause and communicate. And for any change that happens, get a feedback and continue to refine that overtime and you'll be highly rewarded for that high amount of clarity that you delivered as a leader.   Training your replacement Find and coach your replacement. What that means is scaling your capability to a point where you can have someone step in and you can focus your energies elsewhere, maybe into some new initiatives, new areas of interest or opportunities for you. That inherently means you coaching and guiding someone else into your role. That kind of scale mindset may not be applicable to all leaders in different roles, but certainly it has been for me in scaling and growing a successful business.   Links and Resources Connect with Greg: LinkedIn, Website (Klick) Link by Author (book) Conscious Business by Fred Kofman (book) Todoist app

Jonathan Reynolds is the founder and CEO of Mindful Life, Mindful Work. It's a US-based leadership development company providing services that address the intersection of self-awareness and team performance. Since 1997, Jonathan has trained extensively in the discipline of mindfulness, and his work with leaders and teams emphasizes simple and practical ways to improve performance, efficiency, and workplace cultures by integrating mindfulness sensibilities. What I personally love about his approach is that whilst they can teach mindfulness and meditation in the corporate marketplace, this tends not to be what they actually do. When you listen to this episode, you'll know exactly what I mean by this. Jonathan shares a brilliantly simple approach for starting meetings more intentionally and effectively, without it taking up extra time – or being weird in any way! We want to hear from you!

"Your job is to learn and understand, not know everything." - Christopher Littlefield Today my guest is Christopher Littlefield, international speaker, author, and founder of Beyond Thank You. Chris' company is a training and consulting firm specializing in employee appreciation, recognition, and workplace culture. He is a writing contributor to both HBR and Forbes, as well as being a genuinely good human! Today he sits down with us to discuss how you, as a leader, can level up your employee appreciation game. In this episode you'll learn: -Why employee appreciation matters (now more than ever) -How to recognize teams and individuals in a remote/hybrid world -Practical tips and tricks that you can start using right now, today -And much more! How to create a ‘safe space' at work People talk about psychological safety, but how do we create that? We create that by sending signals to people every single day that we value who they are and what they contribute, and what it takes to do their job each day.   Employee appreciation is also conflict prevention When people feel valued at work, they will be able to relate to your feedback as a contribution and not as an attack. If you show your appreciation often, they'll be able to take in your suggestions and not feel defensive about it.   What makes a good manager It's so easy as new managers to feel like you have to prove you're worthy of your position. But what proves to people that you're worthy is if they can feel that you understand them and that you're willing to help them succeed. And when you serve them to support their success, then they're going to make you shine as well.

Fred Kofman, Conscious Business 3 qualités essentielles à développer: - Responsabilité inconditionnelle - Intégrité essentielle - Humilité ontologique 1 D'abord, humilité ontologique: - Ma perception est limitée - Mon point de vue personnel est limité - Je ne peux pas savoir seul.e C'est la condition sine qua non pour appréhender les situations difficiles avec recul. Le fait de "savoir" ne fait que nous précipiter dans des automatismes comportementaux. Hors, dans les situations complexes (voir épisode 49), il faut d'abord sonder / tester donc être capable d'observer ce qui se passe. Et la science alors? C'est la tentative collective de dépasser les limites de l'individu: à plusieurs, nous établissons un point de vue agrégé, sommé. Donc d'abord: apprendre => attitude du learner / apprenant.e => compréhension de la situation 2 Ensuite: dans quelle direction agir? => intégrité essentielle: il y a le succès et le succès par-delà le succès. Chaque action a deux objectifs: le résultat et la manière La manière est plus importante que le résultat parce que seule la manière dépend de vous! 3 Enfin: comment agir? Avec respons-abilité, avec les cartes que j'ai en main (épisode 92). Etre un acteur.rice, c'est voir comment matcher mes compétences et mon devoir / ma volonté. Conséquence directe de l'humilité ontologique qui m'a permis d'observer. En résumé: être un player-learner, c'est interroger la situation et choisir son action en respectant ses valeurs profondes.

Last year I was totally delighted to appear on a podcast called The Coach's Compass, giving me an opportunity to dive deep into all things coaching with host Clark Luby.In the episode, Clark - a listener to The Coach's Journey - turns my favourite starter question back on me by asking me to recall when I first came across coaching, and that takes me back to a crucial juncture in my life and career.From there, we talk through the support structures and containers that helped me through early coaching challenges such as finding clients and talking about money, and I offer up some practical tools that can help you to establish the kind of coach you really want to be, factoring in the styles of coaching you admire and personalities you aspire to emulate.We also explore the importance of Rich Litvin's work to the evolution of coaching and to my own practice, and I share one of the exercises he taught me that led me to do some of my best work.In this episode, we talk about:The shift that happens after your first attempt at being an adultMaking the process of your work something that you really enjoyBeing a player in the game of your businessThe point at which coaching businesses start to carry themselves forwardHow to stay authentic while taking influence from other coachesWhy I think it's okay to steal from people*We also talk about the best times to break the rules of coaching, or the rules of anything for that matter!To hear other episodes of the Coach's Compass Podcast, visit https://thecoachscompass.libsyn.com/For information about my wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswale.com, and to buy my book, click here.Join the WBECS Free Pre-Summit: https://share.coaching.com/6d3qN2Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

The episode concludes with Elizabeth and Catriona reflecting on the topic - inspired by Robbie and by some unusual trees. We also share a special announcement about Unfurling's next right step!

Michael's new book How to Begin: Start Doing Something that Matters is now available at www.HowToBegin.com. Of the little reality surrounding us that our brain takes in, we can control almost none, and influence only an iota. At the same time, there's a difference between actively engaging in our own lives, and when we're opting out. In a strange way, I find the paradox liberating; I can control nothing, and I'm an active participant in my own life. The question is, how do we navigate that tension?  Steve Morrow is a friend of mine, and his role at Salesforce is focused on coaching and effective leadership. However, he didn't start off in the human development world - in fact, he began in sales and marketing, and soon enough, began looking inside, rather than outside, at potential clients.

Yvonne Chang, MATP, PCC, is an executive coach and consultant for corporate, government and business leaders and individuals. Her approach to professional and personal development reflects her cultural grounding as a Chinese American growing up in San Francisco and as a cultural pioneer who left the United States and immigrated to The Netherlands, where she developed her coaching practice over two decades.   Yvonne's coaching and training draw on contemporary thought on human development, leadership, and change and her experiences as a professional dancer, business executive, human potential consultant and project leader in eco-psychology and environmental sustainability. She brings a richly holistic background to her work and feels privileged to have earned the trust of many clients, of different ages, cultures, and occupations in various organizational effectiveness settings. This week, we're going deeper by talking with Yvonne about how she approaches soul and spirit in her coaching approach, as well as how she integrates her experiences with ecopsychology, somatic practices, and diversity & inclusion into her work.  CONNECT WITH YVONNE: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/yvonne-chang-matp-pcc-36140565 Website: yvonnechang.com   YVONNE'S BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS: Soul at Work by Margaret Benefiel: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1596270136/ The Meaning Revolution by Fred Kofman: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1524760730/ See all books written or recommended by Going Deeper podcast guests at https://a.co/87QNHOb.

Parham Albadvi is a trailblazing copywriter and business strategist for conscious businesses. He is the founder of Mocho and Co, a creative and consulting studio serving exclusively conscious businesses and disruptors. Together with his partner, he helps bold business leaders bring new ideas to market and build value through values. After a stint working for various innovative SAAS companies like Eventbrite, Vidyard, and Aura, he took the plunge to work as a freelance copywriter and business strategist (while traveling the world!). He's committed to helping businesses of all sizes realize Fred Kofman's vision of businesses “conscious of inner and outer worlds… taking into account body, mind and spirit in self, culture, and nature.” In this episode, Dean Newlund and Parham Albadvi discuss:Finding inauthenticity in today's brands Why brands should stay specializedCreating what people didn't think they need What is your brand?  Key Takeaways:People either know when a company or a person is not being authentic, or they find out eventually. Brands should stay specialized and focus on what they do best. Don't be all things to all people. Innovation is all about recognizing the need behind the desire, it's creating a product or service that people may or may not know they need. A brand is what your audience says you are, not merely what you say you are.    "The number one factor that's really contributing to the importance of authenticity and branding is due to the fact that the next generation of buyers are becoming more and more value-driven." — Parham Albadvi  See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I  Connect with Parham Albadvi:  Website: www.mochoand.coInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mochoandco/Email: parham@mochoand.co    Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 

Todos al tomar decisiones hacemos sacrificios y tenemos que elegir nos recuerda Magdalena Ferreira Lamas. Ella es la primera mujer en ocupar la Vicepresidencia y Gerencia General de Avon para el Grupo de Mercados del Norte de Latinoamérica y nos dice que ante el miedo y la incertidumbre la receta es prepararse, hacer preguntas y pedir ayuda. “Disciplina, organización, comunicación y rodearte de personas que te apoyen” es clave, así como agradecer por todo lo que tienes.En esta entrevista nos comparte que a veces la culpa es el principal obstáculo y que la salud mental y física son críticas, ya que si uno se cuida puede cuidar a los otros.También tocamos los temas de aceleración digital en la pandemia, tanto del lado laboral como personal y la importancia de organizar reuniones eficientes.En las diferencias que ha visto como mujer platicamos sobre cómo cuando era pequeña no se acostumbraba que las mujeres hablaran de dinero cosa que a lo largo de los años le fue costando lograr pero que la buena noticia cuando se trata de “techos de cristal”, es que el cristal se rompe.En temas laborales nos recomienda poner todo “el sueño y la energía en el proyecto, que te llene en lo profesional y personal y las promociones vienen detrás”.El libro que nos recomienda es La empresa consciente de Fred Kofman https://amzn.to/3GNOa4z 

My name is Parham Albadvi. I'm a copywriter and brand strategist serving conscious businesses. I spent my formative years in Iran and moved to Canada eager to work for purpose-driven tech and B2B companies, but soon became disillusioned… I love working with conscious entrepreneurs - people who share my values and vision for the world. Clients that I feel energetically aligned with, and who believe in making profit and impact. That's why together with my partner, I founded Mocho and Co, the first full-service digital agency exclusively for conscious businesses and disruptors. I'm committed to helping businesses of all sizes realize Fred Kofman's vision of businesses “conscious of inner and outer worlds… taking into account body, mind and spirit in self, culture, and nature.” But we can't do it alone. We need a vibrant community of conscious, aligned entrepreneurs - people like you, who know their skills are better served somewhere else... somewhere they haven't found yet.   Most passionate about I'm leading Mocho and Co, which is an integrative digital agency serving conscious businesses—businesses that truly see business as a force for good. At this point in our journey, we are taking a reflective break for December to think about how we've served our customers so far and how we'd like to serve them moving forward. We're at the stage of reflecting and taking more conscious action forward rather than taking many steps forward in December. Parham's career and story I was a lost 20-year-old boy who had just graduated university and had a lot of passion. I wanted to work for technology companies, and in my university years, I had been in the sales and marketing world. Initially, I wanted to be more independent in my own business. I wanted to determine my own schedule. I wanted to visit my family that I had back home and in Europe. From there, I noticed that working in corporate was not a long-term solution for me. So, I initially had that itch of going completely freelance and starting my own business and building from scratch. I started with freelancing, taking on clients that were in the conscious space and that were using business as a force for good. After seeing them coming back to us with stories about how they'd been able to grow their business from 10K to 40K per month, and above and beyond, we were really motivated to serve as an extension of their marketing team to be growth partners. That's what shifted into me starting Mocho and Co. Best advice for entrepreneurs I think it comes down to taking conscious steps forward as an entrepreneur and realizing that you can't do everything—rather, really putting out the most minimum viable product that can make the maximum impact. The biggest, most critical failure with customers I don't personally view it as a failure, but I do think at the time it was easy to label it as a failure. One that comes to my mind was when I was working at Vidyard. I was doing business development at the time and I noticed that, for a lot of our prospects whom I was reaching out to, I was not getting a high conversion on the outreach. What I noticed was the power of personalization and your approaches—not approaching customers to sell anything, but just approaching them to add value. Value itself will play a big role in your relationship with a potential customer. You need to develop that relationship and build that trust rather than always looking at it as a transactional relationship. Biggest success with customers I started working with a client back in the summer. This was the first time that I was approached by a client who really, from the get-go, trusted the process and wanted us to tell her exactly what had to be done in her business. She was a yoga teacher for 20 years and had led many different experiences before. She was really well known in her space, in her community. However, with the pandemic...

COVID-19 has changed the landscape of work for many people and organisations. Shifting processes and leading teams in a hybrid way and/or a remote way has brought with it a myriad of challenges and considerations for people professionals and those in leadership positions.   In this episode, Phil is joined by Sumit Gupta who is a leadership coach and entrepreneur. Phil and Sumit discuss the role of creating a trustworthy culture through effective leadership, particularly in a hybrid and remote setting, which allows individuals to feel psychologically safe and can help them eliminate the need to wear a mask at work and conceal their true emotion(s).   The three attributes Sumit suggests help create this environment in a hybrid/remote setting, and those which are subsequently covered throughout this conversation, are:   Approach this style of leadership as new or different as opposed to difficult or challenging Lead with trust Ask questions with curiosity   All these components are discussed in detail throughout the episode before Sumit and Phil look to some of the potential myths which sit around leadership.   To find out more about Sumit:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sumit4all/   Email:  sumit@deployyourself.com   Website: https://www.deployyourself.com/   Links and references to the research and resources discussed in this episode are below:   Book: Conscious Business by Fred Kofman: https://www.waterstones.com/book/conscious-business/fred-kofman//9781622032020   Book: Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Conscious-Capitalism-New-Preface-Authors/dp/1625271751   The Institute for Generative Leadership: https://generateleadership.com/building-your-leadership-muscle-program/   Join the Emotion at Work Community for FREE here: https://community.emotionatwork.co.uk/    Follow us on Instagram for exclusive Podcast updates: https://www.instagram.com/emotionatworkpodcast/    Learn more about Emotion at Work through our website: https://www.emotionatwork.co.uk    Connect with Phil on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-willcox-02013425

Coaching in your flow state is like playing jazz, according to Jacinta Jiménez, who has devoted herself to studying the psychology of performance and behaviour change.Striving to become a dancer at a young age taught Jacinta invaluable lessons about flow, drive and resilience, and her passion for the arts spills forth when she speaks about how it almost consumed her.Jacinta, driven to keep others from having to defer their dreams, has channelled her experience of what she calls the dark side of passion into her groundbreaking work on the personal, structural and societal causes of burnout in her book The Burnout Fix.And she has been a growing influence on the world of coaching, using her passion for data and scientific research to debunk misnomers about success as Head of Coaching and then VP, Coaching Innovation at BetterUp, the market-leading organisation and coaching-at-scale pioneers who now have more than 2,000 coaches across 65 countries supporting professionals with the personal and professional growth.

Daphna Horowitz gets bored easily. And it is boredom – or rather, the rejection of it – that has taken her to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, helped her build a global business, and turned her into an eminent coach of CEOs and future leaders.Inspired by her former career as an actuary and her thrill-seeking instincts, Daphna blends an analytical approach to coaching with a desire to connect authentically and help her clients find their ‘why'.The unique way in which she provides help to high achievers – who often struggle to ask for it – shines through as she talks about a coaching career that has spanned 15 years and over 4,500 hours of work with high-level leaders and teams.In this episode, we talk about:What Daphna believes are the differences between coaches who are struggling and the ones who are making a success of their coaching business, and how to move from one group to the other.Why coaching really comes from listening with full presence to our clients and ourselves.The importance of thinking about who you spend time with.How Daphna uses rhythm to find flow with her business AND give her family – the most important thing to her – what they need.Daphna's thoughts on defining ourselves, our branding and our message by getting to know ourselves.Daphna also opens up about the personal challenges and growth journeys that are reflected in her Leadership Live podcast and her brand new book, Weekly Habits For Extraordinary Leaders.For more information about Daphna, visit: https://daphnahorowitz.com/ For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/communityThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~24: This is Marketing by Seth Godin https://seths.blog/tim/ ~26: The support and challenge model https://uspire.co.uk/blog/leadership/whats-the-perfect-balance-of-challenge-support-as-a-leader/ ~27: BetterUp https://www.betterup.com/ ~28: Conscious Business by Fred Kofman https://www.fredkofman.org/lec-ing.php~30: International Coaching Federation (ICF) principles https://coachingfederation.org/core-competencies ~32: Daphna's Leadership Live podcast: https://daphnahorowitz.com/podcastlive/ ~57: David Deida https://deida.info/ ~59: Coaches Rising - Becoming a Transformative Presence https://www.coachesrising.com/becomeatransformativepresence/~1.03: Ingrid Goff-Maidoff https://ingridgoffmaidoff.com/ and her poem~1.06: Daphna's book, Courage to Lead https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24693486-courage-to-lead~1.31: Finding your WHY by Simon Sinek https://simonsinek.com/find-your-why/ ~1.34: Start with WHY by Simon Sinek https://simonsinek.com/product/start-with-why/ ~1.40: The video Robbie mentioned, although unfortunately it doesn't actually include the details of his proposal as he thought it might: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub_gFNZ8bsY~1.45: Daphna's book, Weekly Habits for Extraordinary Leaders https://daphnahorowitz.com/personal-mastery/weekly-habits/

No livro The Meaning Revolution, o autor, Fred Kofman, acredita que no final nós queremos que todos da empresa estejam jogando o mesmo jogo, com o mesmo propósito em mente. Entretanto, isso não acontece por vários motivos, como por exemplo metas locais ou rótulos que criamos nas pessoas. Rótulos no qual são reforçados pelas descrições detalhadas de cargos e planos de carreiras bem definidos. Para entender melhor esse assunto e ajudar a trazer todos para o jogo compartilhamos uma pequena reflexão no enzimas de hoje.

Sat atop a Welsh mountain in 2007 in a moment of depression and despair, Chris Joseph had the first in a series of instances of clarity that would eventually lead him to coaching. On the brink of a meltdown, he knew his Ph.D. in Computational Mechanics was no longer serving him. Buddhism, yoga and mediation became the elixir for him and soon he found he couldn't sleep with excitement at the discoveries he was making. His life changed when he trained to become a mindfulness teacher with Breathworks, and Chris went on to complete his Ph.D. and launch his first coaching practice. But it wasn't a success and in the end he gave it up. His extraordinary journey includes a multitude of highs and lows, from making £10,000 a month in passive income to losing it all to a fraudulent trader. Now he's back coaching and headed for a seven-figure year with his highly successful practice.In this episode, we talk about:Where his practice went wrong the first time round.Why the inner work is so important - understanding that you can only take people as far as you can go yourself.Why a true insight always comes packaged with an action - an ‘outsight' or an ‘outer action'.How to invite an individual to coaching - how to make it feel like a gift to the individual and not a request for yourself.Alongside the practical we get into some big topics: death, impermanence, the importance of play and the effects of all these on our lives. And it is a total pleasure to be in a space with Chris' beautiful open-heartedness.For more information about Chris, visit www.christopherjoseph.co.uk, find him on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/drchrisjoseph/ or on Facebook: www.facebook.com/chrisjoseph.uk/ For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.Music by My Good Man William listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/communityThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~8: Rich Waterman: https://www.richwaterman.com/ ~10: The Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt: https://www.happinesshypothesis.com/~12: Michael Neill: https://www.michaelneill.org/~12: Dick Bettinger: http://3principlesmentoring.com/index.html ~12: Sydney Banks: https://sydbanks.com/~14: Breathworks: https://www.breathworks-mindfulness.org.uk/~20: Unleash the Power Within with Tony Robbins: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/unleash-the-power-within/ ~25: Unleash the Power Within with Tony Robbins: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/unleash-the-power-within/~26: The Coaching Academy: https://www.the-coaching-academy.com~26: Richard Bandler: https://richardbandler.com~26: John LaValle: https://www.nlplifetraining.com/trainers/john-lavalle~26: The Prosperous Coach by Steve Chandler and Rich Litvin: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prosperous-Coach-Increase-Income-Clients/dp/1600250300 ~26: Breathworks: https://www.breathworks-mindfulness.org.uk/~27: Simon Coulson: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Prosperous-Coach-Increase-Income-Clients/dp/1600250300~27: Peter Thompson: https://peterthomson.com/ ~27: Michael Neill: https://www.michaelneill.org/ ~27: Project Kairos with Rich Litvin: https://richlitvin.com/kairos/~30: Steve Hardison video: https://youtu.be/0Tine-9dz-Y~32: Rich Waterman: https://www.richwaterman.com/ ~33: Three Principles: https://threeprinciplesfoundation.org/ ~33: Eckhart Tolle: https://eckharttolle.com/ ~33: Bryon Katie: https://thework.com/ ~33: The Coaching Academy: https://www.the-coaching-academy.com~33: Tony Robbins: https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ ~37: Crazy Good by Steve Chandler: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1600250343/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_JMAKFbP0PYJ7E ~43: The War of Art by Steven Pressfield and Shawn Coyne: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1936891026/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_xlBKFbG7XW11B~50: Loom: https://www.loom.com~1.11: Cardiff University: https://www.cardiff.ac.uk ~1.29: Wealth Warrior by Steve Chandler: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1600250408/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_EFCKFbY9VGH7M~1.29: Time Warrior by Steve Chandler: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1600250378/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_kICKFbB90WCJN~1.29: The Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1608681890/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_8RCKFbEEPT36Y~1.31: The Meaning Revolution by Fred Kofman : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1524760730/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_BsSKFbKHQ773N~1.45: Chris's contact details: email address: chris@christopherjoseph.co.uk, LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchrisjoseph/, Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chrisjoseph.uk/~1.50: Steve Hardison: https://theultimatecoach.com/

Well, this is fun. Here's another episode featuring me, Robbie Swale. No guests this time, and no content from the past, either: this all new and includes some exciting announcements, as well as insights and stories I haven't shared before from my experience of creating new ways of working in my coaching business.In particular, I talk about:The lessons I've learned from the three group coaching programmes I've launched: how do we start a group coaching programme? How do we sell one to people?The four criteria I use when deciding whether to create a new way of working in my business.And, most excitingly, I launch the new Coach's Journey Community, a new way to work with me, starting from just £10 a month.That community is wrapped up along with the new opportunity to support the Coach's Journey financially. If you value this work that I'm doing and want to make it easier for me to continue it, and give it the potential to grow faster and further, you might want to consider becoming a Supporter. But don't worry, the podcast will always be free and there's no presure at all from me to support the podcast financially.That's only part of the episode, though - creating the Coach's Journey Community and a new one-on-one engagement that I'm running with several clients this autumn made me really think about how and when I create new ways of working with clients. In this episode, I've tried to really share how I think about creating new ways of working, including why I'm excited about this one, and all kinds of things that might be valuable to you on your journey as a coach. If there's anything I didn't cover or anything you want to ask, let me know and maybe I'll do a follow-up episode answering questions!For information about my wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.To read more about supporting The Coach's Journey, or to become a Supporter or a Community Member, visit https://www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people I mentioned (that you might be interested in):~5: My article, ‘Jordan Peterson Is Not Evil and Why That Matters' - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/jordan-peterson-evil-why-matters-robbie-swale/~10: My article, ‘How I Became A Full Time Coach Less Than Two Years After Finishing My Training' on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-i-became-full-time-coach-less-than-two-years-after-robbie-swale~10: My 200th LinkedIn Article: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lessons-from-200-linkedin-articles-out-robbie-swale/~13: Phil Bolton and on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-2-phil-bolton-from-forensic-accountant-to-the-go-to-career-coach-in-london-and-on-to-work-with-ceos-mds-and-founders~13: Mike Toller: https://www.michaeltollercoaching.co.uk/~13: Vegard Olsen: https://coachingpartner.net/cp/en/vegard-olsen-2/~14: Joel Monk on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-6-joel-monk-conversations-at-the-cutting-edge-of-coaching & The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Leap-Conquer-Hidden-Level/dp/0061735361~16: Rich Litvin and The Prosperous Coach: https://richlitvin.com/the-prosperous-coach/~16: My article, 6 Reasons Why Hiring A Coach Is The Most Important Thing For You To Do If You Want A Successful Coaching Business: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/writing/6-reasons-why-hiring-a-coach-is-the-most-important-thing-for-you-to-do-if-you-want-a-successful-coaching-business~20: Minor Arias on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-3-minor-arias-living-by-design-glz56~22: Warren Buffet's 25 things game - see Number 2, here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/15-ways-transform-your-relationship-time-get-more-done-robbie-swale/~26: Kristen Kosinski on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-7-kristen-kosinski-power-of-being-truly-seen-with-all-your-messiness~33: My article, The Pioneering Women of Our Age on my website: https://www.robbieswalecoaching.com/writing/2018/9/10/the-pioneering-women-of-our-age and on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/pioneering-women-our-age-robbie-swale/~35: Katie Harvey on the podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-1-katie-harvey-14000-hours-of-coaching-being-part-of-the-uk-coaching-vanguard-and-being-a-generalist-coach~36: The Genius Accelerator Group Coaching Programme: https://www.robbieswalecoaching.com/the-genius-accelerator~44: Jordan Hall: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMzT-mdCqoyEv_-YZVtE7MQ and more about the Zone of Genius and Hall's influence on my thinking about that in the introduction to The Power To Choose: https://www.robbieswalecoaching.com/writing/2019/12/30/the-power-to-choose-preview~55: My brother.

Kap is joined once again by the powerful Fred Kofman for a conversation centered around Fred's book, Conscious Business.

Desde a primeira temporada uma de nossas inquietações sempre foi pensar em novos modelos de negócios para produtos de comunicação. O episódio de hoje trata disso. Trazemos esse debate elevando o case de uma iniciativa da Associação Catarinense de Imprensa (ACI) e o Sebrae que tinha esse objetivo. No Cocreation ACI Sebrae promoveu a pré-incubação de ideias inovadoras de projetos de comunicação para serem transformados em negócios viáveis e escaláveis. Convidamos para o debate e conversa a jornalista idealizadora da Revista Gulliver e dona do melhor pitch entre os projetos selecionados, Carol Macário, e o coordenador do Cocreation Lab Grande Florianópolis, José Eduardo Machado Jr - que acompanha os seis projetos de comunicação dentro do Cocreation ACI Sebrae.

Fred Kofman the VP of Leadership Development at Google joins Eric Kapitulik, the CEO and Founder of The Program for an insightful and powerful discussion on Leadership.

In this episode, we speak to Kate McCready the Founder of Leading Beings about the importance of reflection, meditation practice and coaching to release human potential. Kate sheds further light on the importance of understanding your values and leaning into your emotions instead of compressing or pushing them away. We both found Kates insights informative, useful and appropriate for the current challenges our local, national and global community face. You can follow Kates updates on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. She also makes reference to the following authors Elizabeth Gilbert and Fred Kofman.

The hardest business problem has a soft solution. Scientists and engineers display a (well-deserved) skepticism toward touchy-feely ideas such as leadership. Fred shows there's a very technical way to understand why most organizations, from couples to multinational corporations, die a premature death... and what can be done to extend their lifespan. FRED KOFMAN - Advisor, VP of Leadership Development @ Google (@fredkofman) “No gun in the world can get your best. No incentive can get your best. You can only give your best because you want to. It’s not contractible. And that’s the difference between leadership and management for me. Leadership is about eliciting internal commitment. You do it because it comes from the inside.” - Fred Kofman Fred Kofman earned his PhD. in Economics from the UC Berkeley, is Google’s Vice President and advisor of leadership, a director of the Conscious Leadership Center at the Monterrey Institute of Technology, & a founder and president of the Conscious Business Center International. Previously, he was a VP of Executive Development at LinkedIn & a co-founder of Axialent, a global consulting company that has delivered leadership programs to more than 15,000 executives around the world. Fred is the author of the trilogy Metamanagement ('01), Conscious Business ('06) and The Meaning Revolution: The Power of Transcendent Leadership ('18). Since 1990, Fred has designed and facilitated programs on leadership, personal mastery, team learning, organizational effectiveness and coaching for thousands of executives, and consultants worldwide. His book, Conscious Business, has been translated to more than ten languages, received numerous awards and was recently named by Sheryl Sandberg in her New York Times interview as "the business book every executive should read" RESOURCES Meaning Revolution Conscious Business SHOW NOTES You don’t know your job.

Vandaag het gesprek met Diederick Janse. Diederick helpt bij het bouwen van wendbare organisaties waar de missie de baas is en mensen zichzelf vol inzetten voor die missie. Hij is mede-oprichter en partner bij Energized.org en heeft zich gespecialiseerd in zelforganisatie middels Holacracy. In de afgelopen tien jaar begeleidde hij tientallen organisaties in de publieke en private sector bij het implementeren van Holacracy.  Samen met Marco Bogers schreef hij in 2013 Getting Teams Done, een toegankelijke introductie in de Holacracy-methode. Na mijn gesprek met Tom van der Lubbe ben ik meer gaan leren over holacracy, een andere organisatievorm waarbij de verantwoordelijkheid in de organisatie wordt gedeeld. De ondernemer komt hierdoor weer meer toe aan ondernemen. Tom wees me op het boek Getting Teams Done van Diederick en Marco. Nadat ik het boek had gelezen wist ik het zeker, hier wil ik meer over leren van de persoon die Holacracy naar Nederland heeft gehaald. In het gesprek hebben we het over de rol waarin de ondernemer vaak wordt geduwd. De afhankelijke opstelling van medewerkers voor de richting en antwoorden van de ondernemer. Het effect van een hiërarchische structuur, dat er ook andere structuren zijn. Maak je missie de baas in je bedrijf. Met deze vorm transformeert jouw missie naar de missie van het bedrijf. Hierdoor kan iedereen actief bijdragen aan de missie en gaat dit ook door wanneer jij een andere rol neemt in het bedrijf. Ik keek enorm uit naar het gesprek om meer te leren en dit mee te kunnen nemen naar klanten. Het gesprek werd nog boeiender dan ik had verwacht. Veel plezier met de inzichten van Diederick.

Joel Monk is a coach whose work transforms leaders beyond the limits of conventional success, and the Co-Founder of Coaches Rising, a community of over 19,000 coaches dedicated to having the biggest impact they can. Working as a community artist - and after a difficult period in his life - he moved into a Bhuddist house. There he met a coach, his soul spoke to him and he set off on a journey which has led him to coaching bank CEOs, TV personalities and… well… me!Alongside that, Joel and his Co-Founder Laurens Van Aarle created Coaches Rising, a pioneering training organisation bringing together thought-leaders from across the world and empowering coaches to create ever-better results. Coaches Rising brings together tens of thousands of coaches, has an amazing podcast (hosted by Joel), and runs some of the best (and best value) coach trainings available.All this means that Joel has spent time with many (if not most) of the most forward-thinking people in the world of coaching, which gives him perspectives on everything from enrolling clients to myriad coaching techniques to the newest and most advanced ideas at the cutting edge of what makes great coaching.In this episode, we talk about:- How problem solving and goal-setting can be traps that coaches fall into and what to do instead.- How he ended up living out of his jar of loose change and how being broke helped him change his story about money.- The roles serendipity and a tantric sex retreat played in him getting his most rewarding coaching gig ever.- His three pieces of advice for those new to coaching, and why he has faith that sincerity, dedication to the craft and putting the time in can make amazing things possible in anyone's life.Plus, we have a conversation about the role coaching has to play in the strange, complex and sometimes-unsettling modern world.For more information about Joel, visit his website: http://joel-monk.com/ or Coaches Rising: https://www.coachesrising.com/For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswalecoaching.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):~8: Robbie's colleague Jo Hunter's TEDx Talk about Creativity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eun2mJMs1DM and her everyday creativity company, 64 Million Artists: https://64millionartists.com/~12: Rivca Rubin: http://www.rivcarubin.com/~13: Fred Kofman (https://fredkofman.org/), Integral Naked and Ken Wilber (https://integrallife.com/who-is-ken-wilber/)~20: Robbie's Twelve-Minute Writing Practice.

Mário Giangrande Engenheiro, artista plástico, poeta e especialista em mercado imobiliário, atuou por 26 anos à frente de uma das mais inovadoras incorporadoras e construtoras de São Paulo. Há 2 anos empreendeu e hoje é fundador da Espaço Real Estate. Propósito, liderança consciente e mercado imobiliário são palavras difíceis de colocarmos numa mesma frase. Como você exerce a liderança no contexto desse mercado e, agora, como empreendedor? Fred Kofman no livro Liderança e Propósito diz: Uma vez que você tem clareza sobre quem realmente é, vem o difícil trabalho diário de se manter consciente” Qual o seu trabalho para se manter consciente e como é exercer a liderança consciente no contexto do mercado imobiliário? A prática do Capitalismo Consciente é baseada em quatro princípios: Propósito Maior, Cultura Consciente, Liderança Consciente e Orientação para Stakeholders. Como você enxerga a relação de cada um desses pilares com a atuação do mercado atual e quais as atuações das lideranças atuais para atingirmos um mercado imobiliário com mais consciência e - quem sabe - menos capitalismo? Simon Sinek usa o termo “empresa e líderes infinitos”. Na recente crise vivenciada pelo setor, olhando para as empresas e empreendedores que atuam hoje neste segmento, qual o papel da liderança para termos mais empresas e líderes infinitos? Qual o seu papel com fundador da Espaço Real Estate no contexto do mercado imobiliário e social? Qual a transformação e mudança você traz pela sua empresa? O Brasil tem 211 milhões de habitantes, 52% são mulheres. No entanto, apenas 18% das CEOs são mulheres. A falta da representatividade de mulheres em cargos de liderança também é um problema do mercado imobiliário. Como você, empreendedor e líder consciente, enxerga as ações que podemos tomar para que tenhamos mais representatividade feminina no setor?

From the 2019 SFELC Summit, Google's Advisor of Leadership Fred Kofman on the biggest drivers of motivation. Today's leaders need to motivate their employees for the long-term. Material incentives like salary and benefits are nice, but the real driver for employees is the desire to work in an organization that has a greater purpose and mission. In this episode of Greymatter, Google's Fred Kofman shares his approach to organizational leadership that combines different aspects of economics, business theory, and conflict resolution. He explains how leaders must put aside their self-interest to allow their organization to best function and why companies that are able to focus their people, teams, and culture around meaning outperform their competition.

Minha convidada para o bate-papo de hoje é a empresária Fran Poletti. Diretora e Fundadora da Vínculo, empresa há 21 anos no mercado têxtil. www.vinculobasic.com.br @vinculobasic @franpoletti Liderança com propósito “Pra gente o maior patrimônio de uma empresa são as pessoas e verdadeiros vínculos só são criados quando fechamos bons negócios em que todas as partes ganham.” Essa visão de negociação em 3 níveis ainda não é tão evidente e óbvia para todos. Conta para nós sobre a sua experiência como empresária neste modelo de negociação. “propósito de fortalecer o vínculo do bem e fazer mais por quem precisa sempre que possível.” “Contribuímos às iniciativas de incentivo ao estudo do Instituto Pe. Vilson Groh há mais de 10 anos e, em 2018, criamos o projeto 10 Vínculos são 500 e nos tornamos apoiadores associados ao Capitalismo Consciente Brasil.” Como surgiu essa decisão por essas iniciativas e o que você pode destacar de mudanças e benefícios para a empresa após essas contribuições? “Uma vez que você tem clareza sobre quem realmente é, vem o difícil trabalho diário de se manter consciente” Fred Kofman no livro Liderança e Propósito. Qual o seu trabalho para se manter consciente?

Too many business books don't think about the audience appropriately.  Have you thought about the specific person you want to write to?  Do you speak the language to reach them?  Or should you be seeking a writing partner or ghost writer to make your message clear.   Our guest Bronwyn Fryer, is a collaborative writer and editor who has worked with best-selling author Dan Ariely, Dr. Edward Hallowell, Fred Kofman and many more.   Peter and Brownyn discuss what a ghost writer can do for you and what a business book needs not only to be successful but good.  In addition they share advice on what publishers are looking for, how to outline a book, and the long term effects of having a book on the market.

What magnet pulls you towards success? In this episode of The Business Thorcast, Fred Kofman, the Advisor of Leadership Development at Google and former VP of Executive Development at LinkedIn, shares his insight on the meaning of success with examples from money as currency to the art of spearfishing.

Can everyone run a marathon? Yes and no. A lot of people can but not tomorrow, not without training. The ones that want to will put in the work. To Fred Kofman, the same metric applies to leadership. It takes effort but the ones who put in the time will be able to learn how. […]

This episode is about where you spend the majority of your life - your work: why you do it, how you do it, changing where you do it and how companies should measure it. On this podcast I talk with Fred Kaufman. Fred is the former vice president of executive development at Linkedin and current leadership advisor at Google. He is also the author of seven books including conscious business, authentic communication, and for our discussion, his findings in his latest book, the Meaning Revolution. Fred addresses both sides of the issues facing employees and employers and describes how to create not only a productive work environment but a meaningful one. 70% of American workers say they’re stuck in a job in which they are completely disengaged and 30 percent of that group actively hate their jobs.   Fred says there is a better way... "Autonomy I put fairly low in the hierarchy. For me, the most important one is to have a purpose that you're really behind, that makes you proud, that you feel is a noble thing to pursue." Talking with Fred felt like a meeting with a spiritual advisor that I climbed a mountaintop to see. But make no mistake, this is a business discussion but it “felt” different. What he said resonated with me.  Fred gave me perspective expanding ideas and challenged my cynicism. I think you'll find that it will change how you look at work and your long-term career goals.  On this show we discuss... How to really use LinkedIn Building identity capital The motivation problem in the workplace Why employees are disengaged  Incentives and unintended consequences The economic value of workplace happiness How to size up a company's a true culture - very helpful if you're in the job market as we usually we get blinded by the financials or benefits What it means to work for a mission And more... If you're interested in creating a more meaningful work experience, listen up.

Ever wonder if you have what it takes to be a good leader? Fred Kofman is here this week to tell us his thoughts on how to be “awake” to your own potential as a leader.  Fred is the newly appointed advisor for leadership development at Google and was formerly the vice president of executive development at LinkedIn. His life passion now is to help people become transcendent leaders. Fred believes that leadership cannot be bought. and that it requires you getting in touch with ourselves, finding our life mission, committing to our values (and the courage to stand for those). He gives practical and helpful insight as to how to look within ourselves to discover our mission and purpose, and true life examples of how to put conscious leadership into practice.

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: This is where you make your move from product manager to product master. That is the move to being a product leader in your organization or the organization you want to work with. Being a leader involves creating vision and providing meaning to those you work with. It is the topic of Fred Kofman’s new book, The Meaning Revolution: The Power of Transcendent Leadership. Fred is a leadership development adviser at Google and former vice president of executive development and leadership philosopher at LinkedIn. He earned his Ph.D. in advanced economic theory at U.C. Berkeley and taught management accounting and control systems at MIT for six years before forming his own consulting company and teaching leadership workshops for major corporations and 15,000 executives. Sheryl Sandberg writes about him in her book Lean In, claiming Kofman “will transform the way you live and work.” We discuss: Why organizations loseHow organizations can winThe 3-part framework for creating a meaningful culture, andHow product managers can deal with conflict. If you are on the path to being a product master, you’ll appreciate Fred’s genuine approach to becoming a leader.

Fred Kofman is an author and leadership expert and has led teams at LinkedIn, advised Google, and conducted many workshops around the world. His newest book is "The Meaning Revolution: The Power of Transcendent Leadership." He shares why serving a higher purpose at work motivates us much more than any material incentives.

The vice president of leadership at LinkedIn claims that the biggest driver of motivation is the chance to serve a larger purpose beyond our careers and ourselves, rather than salary, benefits, bonuses, or other material incentives; companies that are able to successfully focus their people, their teams, and their culture around meaning outperform their competition. Fred Kofman’s approach to leadership has little to do with the standard practices taught in business school and traditional books. Bringing together economics and business theory, communications and conflict resolution, family counseling and mindfulness mediation, Kofman argues in The Meaning Revolution that our most deep-seated, unspoken, and universal anxiety stems from our fear that our life is being wasted–that the end of life will overtake us when our song is still unsung. Kofman claims that transcendental leaders, wherever they are in the hierarchy, are able to put aside their self-interests and help others to feel connected with others on a team or in an organization on a great mission and part of an ennobling purpose. He argues that every organization involved in work that is nonviolent and non addictive has what he calls an “immortality project” at its core. And the challenge for leaders is to identify and expand on that core, to inspire all stakeholders to take part.

Join us as LinkedIn’s Co-Founder, Reid Hoffman sits down with Fred Kofman, Advisor on Leadership Development, to learn more about Fred’s new book, The Meaning Revolution. Bringing together economics and business theory, communications and conflict resolution, family counseling and mindfulness meditation, Kofman argues that our most deep-seated, unspoken, and universal anxiety stems from our fear that our life is being wasted - that the end of life will overtake us when our song is still unsung. Material incentives like salary and benefits only drive a small portion of employees’ motivation. What really drives engagement is the meaning, a feeling that what we do day in and day out makes a difference, that how we spend our time on earth serves a larger purpose beyond just ourselves. Join the conversation to learn: How to “die before you die,” thinking about the legacy you are leaving behind while you still have an opportunity to shape it How to assume a truly “response-able” mantle of leadership, in a step-by-step, practical way How to move past your deepest fears and anxieties to fashion a truly heroic life How organizations, and the people within them, can make a difference in the world

Although it wouldn't be like him to take much (if any credit), Fred Kofman changed the trajectory of my life. This week I got the privilege of thanking him, live on the Pivot Podcast. A little backstory: In 2006, while working at Google on the training team under Sheryl Sandberg’s Online Sales & Operations organization, I was fortunate to participate in a three-day immersion called Conscious Business, based on a book by visionary leader, teacher and thinker Fred Kofman. Just 23 years old at the time, it opened my eyes to powerful principles like taking full responsibility (player versus victim), making and keeping impeccable commitments, integrity in action, success beyond success, and much more. Two small examples: I stopped saying the phrase, “I’ll try” — replacing it instead with what I will (or will not) do and by when — and I aim for total truth in my speech, over even small white lies, such as saying I’m not feeling well as a reason to back out on plans if that’s not true. As part of the program, I also had three coaching sessions that led to my biggest contributions at Google, and everything I’m doing now. Because of those sessions, I connected with my mission to help others, completed CTI’s coach training and certification, co-created Google’s global Career Guru program to help launch these meaningful conversations for others, started the Life After College blog that became my first book in 2011, then left to pursue my own business, write Pivot . . . and the rest is history—or at least readily available on previous Pivot Podcasts

"THE MEANING REVOLUTION is a book about the difficulties every company has to solve in order to operate effectively. This is a dilemma between individual accountability and collective cooperation. On the one hand, every company wants each one of its members to work as hard and as conscientiously as possible. But on the other hand, the company also wants each member to subordinate their own individual work to the collective needs of the organization as a whole."

In the second part of his interview, Fred Kofman, Vice President of Executive Development at LinkedIn, shares with The Business ThorCast host, Joel “Thor” Neeb, why he thinks the key to a successful team is the alignment of your team around a common purpose and a set of shared standards.

Doing the best for the team doesn't always mean doing the best for yourself.  In part one of his interview, Fred Kofman, Vice President of Executive Development at LinkedIn, discusses why it's important to connect your team to a higher purpose to achieve company goals.

 Nur ya lleva más de 10 años en la comunidad online y nos cuenta cómo y porqué comenzó con sus dos socios EnvíoPack. Hoy su marca es un producto 100% tecnológico, “es como un procesador de pagos pero de correos”. Hacé clic para Tuitear:  Nur Malek Pascha fundó su empresa al detectar una necesidad de los e-commerce. Escuchalo la charla desde acá: https://goo.gl/hh7dBv Lo más importante [04:12] ¿Qué tipo de negocio online tenías? Siempre estuve en el mundillo de los Startups en los últimos 10 años. Hice investigación de mercado online y por ahí en 2008 se vendió a un grupo francés que se llama Ipsos y luego tuve la oportunidad de estar involucrada en el equipo que armó Groupon acá en Argentina, y luego se extendió a otros países de la región. Luego pude estar en Avenida.com que quería imitar el modelo de Amazon.com [06:13] ¿Cómo fue el momento en que se te ocurrió esta idea? En los emprendimientos anteriores siempre estuve a cargo de la parte operativa, pero justamente en 2011 se comienza a vender productos, entonces comencé a investigar en el  mundo de la logística por necesidad,  y precisábamos partner para que la atención al cliente sea cada vez mejor.  Ahí se armó la parte logística del negocio. Ya hace un año y medio me involucré con mis socios, Horacio y Daniel; y formamos un modelo que tiene más de 9 operadores logísticos integrados, y creemos que para el año que viene vamos a tener más de 12.   [10:25] Si te encontrás con alguien en la calle que hace mucho que no ves, ¿qué le decís a las personas sobre lo que hacés en tu trabajo en 15 segundos? Le diría que tengo una empresa de tecnología que vincula las empresasa e-commerce con los operadores logísticos. [10:52] ¿Sentiste en algún momento que fracasaron? Yo veía al final del túnel una luz brillante y empecé a proyectar en grande, hasta que fuimos a Uruguay en junio  para testear cómo podía ser en otro país, y habíamos calculado que para ir necesitábamos 1000 dólares y que la inversión inicial iba a ser 10 veces mayor, que para integrar los operadores logísticos asumíamos que íbamos a integrarlo en dos semanas, y cuando volvimos ya estábamos proyectando en 4 meses. Obviamente todo se empezó a dilatar. [14:50] ¿Ustedes dejaron sus trabajos anteriores o tenían ingresos de otros salarios? Lo bueno de Envío Pack es que es un modelo rentable en el principio. Nosotros pusimos una inversión propia de 100 mil dólares. Y luego subimos clientes a la plataforma.  Como es un modelo de tecnología a los clientes no le cobramos por ser parte de Envío Pack, sino que cuando negociamos tarifas mayoristas a los correos, ponemos un margen en esas tarifas. La realidad es que al principio se sumaron varios clientes y nos permitió que nosotros podamos vivir de eso. Pero no tenemos un ingreso adicional. [18:51] ¿Qué es lo que te apasiona de tu negocio? Me gusta mucho la industria del E-commerce, la tecnología  e internet. Yo estudié Relaciones Internacionales y terminé en el mundo online de casualidad. [23:00] ¿Cuál fue el mejor consejo de negocios que recibiste y de quién fue? Mi marido se dedica a la gastronomía, tiene una Pyme familiar y ahora tienen una estructura más grande.  Pero todo lo que han hecho fue a esfuerzo de trabajo. Más allá del producto que uno vaya a comercializar, los códigos son todos. Uno se esfuerza en el día a día para llevar su negocio adelante y hay que tener ética para trabajar. [25:22] ¿Cuáles son los códigos más importantes de su empresa? La capacidad de trabajo y el gran compromiso de entrega. A veces hay que hacer un deploy [un lanzamiento de producto] hasta las 4 am y ves gente que se levanta a esa hora para ir a trabajar. Tiene capacidad de trabajar, compromiso de entrega y actitud. [28:00] ¿Qué hábitos diarios prácticas y le atribuís parte de tu éxito? Soy tenaz, tengo los objetivos claros. Cuando no sé para qué lado voy, me pierdo.  Intento conectarme con el equipo, almuerzo en la oficina, estoy conectada con lo que pasa. Uno tiene que tener información, tenés que estar con el equipo. Siempre voy con un cuaderno de Cosas para Hacer. Lo que me da más fiaca hacer, lo pongo en la lista. [31:54] ¿Qué aplicaciones utilizás en tu celular o PC? Uso Gmail, GDrive, y principalmente eso. Las primeras 2 personas que compartan este episodio en cualquier red social pueden obtener un 20% de descuento en el primer año si contratan G Suite a través de éste enlace. El código de descuento te lo envío por correo una vez que se verifica lo compartido. (*Nota: Es un enlace de afiliado) [32:24] Imaginate que te despertás mañana en un mundo nuevo, idéntico a La Tierra pero no conocés a nadie, poseés toda la experiencia y conocimiento que tenés actualmente, tu alimentación y vivienda están resueltos, todo lo que tenés es una laptop, un Smartphone y 500 dólares; ¿cómo empezarías tu negocio nuevamente? Buscaría a un desarrollador para volver a replicar cualquiera de los modelos. Para cualquier emprendimiento online, tenés que tener una fuerte pata en Tecnología, hay que saber cómo se mueve esta industria que es tan dinámica. Hoy las 4 areas famosas de las qeu todo el mundo habla que son fintech, biotech, healthtech e inteligencia artificial. Seguramente incursionaría en algo de eso. [35:04] ¿Cuál es tu libro favorito? Hay un libro que me gusta mucho que es Conscious Business, de Fred Kofman, trata sobre las culturas organizacionales. Después hay uno que se llama “Mi primer Millón” que habla sobre los grandes emprendedores de la historia. Entonces te cuenta la historia de Henry Ford, del Creador de McDonalds, etc. [36:08] ¿Qué es lo que te atrapó específicamente? Que eran todos emprendedores que estaban en circunstancias muy adversas. Entonces el libro cuenta cómo cada uno de ellos fue haciendo una lectura del escenario local en industrias muy diversas. En algunos casos no comparto los casos de moral y ética, pero son como una fuente de inspiración. Luego está “El Tallador de Diamantes”, era de un empleado de una joyería de Nueva .York que se encargaba al principio se dedicaban a pulir piedras preciosas, y esa empresa empieza a crecer gracias a que uno de sus empleados empieza a hacer un viaje espiritual por La India y por Asia dando a conocer ciertos aprendizajes que le sirvieron a la empresa. Y es muy interesante porque te enseña que la ansiedad a veces te juega en contra. [38:41] ¿Cuál es la mejor forma de contactarse con vos?

  Listening is an art form, yet all of us suck at it. Some people suck less than others, but we all suck at it because we simply don't care or give a damn.

  What are we doing here? What is this practice and what are we striving for, especially when the teaching tells us not to strive for anything? In this talk Michael points out that we Awaken when we follow these questions to their core. Opening to forgiveness and to the radically simple impulse of the Universe's evolution, we recognize how living from the delusion of past and future inhibits every chance we might have at opening to Spirit. So we move beyond past and future. In doing this we can see the truth beyond all the mind activity of sensations, emotions, and thoughts. Questions deal with the perception of people taking advantage of us; making decisions without getting caught by the worrisome possibilities in the future; the effects of individual practice on the greater good; the spiritual win-win and how this relates to theorists like Peter Senge and Fred Kofman; and recognizing how much energy it takes to keep delusion going in our lives.
