Ashton Applewhite is an internationally recognized expert on ageism; she is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and to dismantle it. Check out her acclaimed book, This Chair Rocks. A Manifesto Against Ageism. The Nice Podcast is brought to you by Futureforth.com. We teach leaders of fast-growing companies to improve employee retention, communication, and culture with the Nice Method™. What we talked about... Speaking truth to power. The idea of retirement is obsolete in a world of longer lives. The number one reason people love their jobs is their connection to others. The Spanish word for retirement is Jubilación which means jubilation. In Japan, there's a special word for your 60th birthday - Kanreki. Being called old is only insulting in a world where it is an insult. Ageism is any judgment based on age, too young as well. Physical function is not about age; it's about ability. The only two bad things about aging are that some parts of your body will fall apart, and people you love will die. Ashton Applewhite's TED talk, Let's End Ageism, has nearly two million views. Asking for help is especially shameful to men. Send in questions to “Yo, is this ageist?” My adventure in Iqaluit. Age equity and Age transparency. We can't challenge bias unless we are aware of it. Experience is not a liability. It's an asset. Age bias in corporations is a disadvantage that affects everyone. My interview with Ronni Bennet. Check out TimeGoesBy.net.

And there's a commonality because of the industry that we're in. So we talk about the industry. We talk about that. We're trying to build connections."

108. Dave Delaney - Leading with NICE “Companies do exit interviews when somebody has quit and they're leaving. And so, you do an exit interview to find out why they're leaving…and what you could have done better…I would argue you're way better off doing a “stay interview” with your top talent on a positive note just to find out how things are going.” - Dave Delaney Dave Delaney Guest Bio: Dave Delaney is the founder of Futureforth.com. He is an author, corporate trainer, executive consultant, host of the Nice Podcast, and keynote speaker known as a communication connoisseur. Dave is the creator of the NICE Method.

We talk with some Nashvillians about what the social media platform has meant for them and their sense of community online. But first, we get the latest on the state's textbook and charter school commissions.

The benefits of an internal company podcast for your business, why you want to have one, how you can implement it, content, ideas, and so much more. 2. The entry point for creating the content – and how almost anybody can do it. 3. The importance of tone and having a clear voice and direction for your podcast.

Ralph was born in Louisville, Kentucky, and moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee when he was 12. He went to UT Knoxville.  His first job in the mid-1970s was in Nashville. He moved away and returned to Nashville in the late 1990s to run the Science Center. The center was struggling at the time and this piqued his interest.  Ralph is more face-to-face. He's more about conversation instead of soundbites. He doesn't use social media. The Nashville Chamber job was the only other job he wanted and when it became open he applied. It attracted him because it's led by business leaders in the community who want to see a difference. They don't just hand over a check, they want to be engaged.  Community leaders often have the desire but don't have the wherewithal to take the steps to support the community. That's how the Chamber helps. After three years as President of the Chamber, they won the Chamber of the Year Award in 2009.  Determining your value. Setting goals. Scheduling with a timeline.

This doesn't happen without clarity.  How to communicate clearly for onboarding new hires.  Assigning a buddy for new hires. Re-skilling, up-skilling, and the need for continuous learning.

Why is Dave focusing on improv training for companies? Dave’s Communication Reboot course teaches improv training to companies to help them learn to effectively communicate. Improv training helps improve communication not just between coworkers, but between entire teams. Everyone has fun together learning how to communicate and collaborate in an upbeat environment. Improv training teaches active listening, empathy, and helps improve problem-solving skills. This training helps teams work together to solve any kind of problem that arises in the workplace. Dave thinks that improv training can help everyone become a better communicator, listen to what he has to say on the matter and consider whether you think improv training could help you. How can improv help you build and maintain better relationships? Having improv training helps you to network effectively at conferences. At conferences you are not just there to see the speakers, you are also there to meet people and build relationships. Improv teaches you to become a great listener by learning how to use active listening. When you ask follow up questions that are based on what the person tells you, this opens them up for future relationships. It gives you an opportunity to explore new business relationships. You may end up getting more out of the networking than the workshops at the conference. Listen to this conversation to hear if you think that improv training could help you at your next conference. How did he end up building great relationships? Dave has been able to build great relationships by using effective listening and by finding ways to help people. Dave is always looking for ways to serve other people. One way that he uses Contactually to help him with this is by adding tags to contacts, this helps him make connections when he is looking to help someone out. He doesn’t connect people looking for a favor in return, he just genuinely tries to help people. Dave finds that connecting people and genuinely looking for ways to serve people is the best way to form relationships and to do business. Listen to Dave’s advice on building great relationships on this episode of Real Relationships. What are some bad habits people have when networking People tend to approach networking the wrong way. Many are simply trying to discover what they can get out of a networking event. But this isn’t the way to do it. He says the best way to network is to just find people to help. You can do this by listening to them effectively and always asking follow up questions. Dave lets the other person do most of the talking so that he can find ways to help them. After the event, he takes notes on their business cards to reference later.
