Podcast appearances and mentions of holly gordon

The Juno Awards are coming to Halifax next March so to prepare, CBC Music's Holly Gordon and the East Coast Music Hour's Bill Roach, join Mainstreet host Jeff Douglas to talk about — and listen to — some memorable music from former Juno nominees.

Affordability is poised to become a top election issue, and voters are looking to see which parties offer the best relief. A first-time homebuyer in Trent Hills shared how the rising cost of living has complicated his path to home ownership…even after he secured his first property. Getting home: Residents of Tipi Moza's subsidized and transitional housing in Kingston talk about the difference it has made for them. Thousands of construction workers are off the job this week. We heard from Mike Yorke with the Carpenters District Council of Ontario about the slowdown of the construction season. With the 2022 Juno Awards just about a week away, CBC Music digital producer Holly Gordon joined us to talk about the winners of yesteryear, and where they are now.

We are so excited to be tackling this album, the third-best selling album by a female artist in history, by Canada's own Alanis Morissette. In addition to talking about this amazing album from our youth, we were delighted to be joined by Holly Gordon from CBC Music. Not only was Holly an absolute delight to speak with, she also had an opportunity to interview Alanis herself for a piece in 2015 celebrating the album's 20th Anniversary! (you can check Holly's interview here) As a reminder, you can find our favorite songs from the RS500 on our Spotify playlist right here - we'll be updating it as we go with our favorite songs from each album! You can check out Rolling Stone's new 2020 list right here.

Season 3; Episode 4: The Shared Journey is Where the Richness Lies with Peter and Holly GordonPeter Gordon is the Chief Investment Officer and Head of Commercial Real Estate Debt for a large asset management firm. Holly Gordon is the Chief Impact Officer at Participant Media, overseeing the company's social impact strategy and campaigns, furthering Participant's mission to create storytelling that inspires positive social change. Key Takeaways from this Episode:Words, Behavior & Connection·       Label the conversation: Is this a vent session? Is it a decision-making session? Is it brainstorming? ·       If it's vent session, ask the person venting: do you think that person meant to do what they did? If not, then rethink the complaint and change your approach. There's a lot that's invisible in everyone's conversations.·       Words set the stage and actions define it and you're defined by your actions, not by your words. We can float words out there, but at the end of the day, it's how we consistently behave that defines us. ·       Stop and say, ‘What am I afraid of?' I'm having a reaction to this conversation, and here's why: I'm afraid that this might happen… What makes us most agitated has some kind of fear around it. Fight or flight mode is about survival. If you can identify it, you can start to let it go, because it usually can be worked out. ·       Walking meetings, even on the phone, is different than sitting across the table from each other or being on Zoom. When you're moving, it has a different kind of physiological effect, and it creates feelings of connection. Safety & Untangling the Toxic Workplace·       The overlap between work and home life, can build on one another in a great way, or in a destructive way. In a safe workplace, some people open up and other people almost go backwards. ·       Is there a component of their home life, that they haven't had that kind of autonomy and freedom of thought, and they're not sure what to do with it?·       Don't hide behind the phrase “toxic workplace.” Instead, you need to unpack the dynamics behind why you're not happy in that workplace. Also reflect on your own contribution that you identify as areas for growth.The Great Resignation·       Reflect on which dynamics at work are difficult? Is it just one or two individuals? Is it a lack of shared values? ·       It's a lot of work to decide to stay or quit. That's why people just stay out of exhaustion or quit and haven't really figured out why they quit or what they should be doing differently.·       If you don't figure out why you are quitting, you can carry that baggage to the next place.Situational Leadership·       There's more than one type of leadership, there's a spectrum. Not one type of leadership works in isolation. You have to adapt. On one end of the spectrum is leadership that offers vision, guidance, and direction; the other end of the spectrum offers compassion and being in the journey with you.·       Leaders need to recognize the spectrum and do what is necessary at the right time with the right person. Some perform at a much better level at one end of the spectrum than the other, but you need both. ·       You need to earn my respect, so I will follow you, and I need to earn your respect every day so that you will follow me. People are trusting that leaders have their best interests at heart.·       Leadership is better and more productive when less hierarchical. It's less about structure and more about how you deliver conversations and respect one another.Advice to co-CEOs & co-Founders·       Being a co-CEO or co-founder is a lot like a marriage. Reflect deeply on what you both imagined to be true and what you want to be true. What can begin as a slight difference becomes the Grand Canyon over time.·       Any kind of co-leadership role demands trust, respect, loyalty, feeling valued, appreciated, etc. When you only have your own perspective, mediation (bringing in a third person) can help work through challenges and remind both people that they have the same shared goal, the health of their company.Work & Home Life·       The work that you do in your marriage, your personal relationships, and the way you apply that to your work, are connected. ·       The old model of, “I shut the door and go home, and I'm a different person at home than I am at work” is dangerous. You should be the same person at both places. The person and the principles that guide you shouldn't change from one place to the other.Finding your partner and equal·       Deep trust, strong communication, independence with interdependence is critical to relationships. So is loyalty, respect, attention, and interest in your relationships, will achieve, over time, a kind of understanding.·       Having different skillsets and looking at the world differently helped us recognize and appreciate that each person brings a different skill to the relationship.·       Painful cycles are normal to any relationship. Resources·       Unfinished Business by Anne-Marie Slaughter·       Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes are High by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler·       How to tame your Advice Monster TEDx with Michael Bungay Stanier ·       Girl RisingTo learn more about my work in executive coaching, leadership development and team effectiveness check out my website, connect with me on LinkedIn or email me at winnie@winnifred.org.  Reach out and tell me what was helpful about today's episode or any suggestions you have for my show.Please leave a review and tell someone else about this show; look below for some instructions on how to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.I look forward to sharing another transformative conversation with you next week!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How to leave a rating or review in Apple Podcasts (on an iOS device)1.      Open the Podcasts app. 2.      Choose “Search” from the bottom row of icons and enter the name of the show (i.e., “Transformative Leadership Conversations”) into the search field3.      Select the show under Shows (not under Episodes)4.      Scroll down past the first few episodes until you see Ratings & Reviews5.      Click “Write a Review” underneath the displayed reviews from other listeners.

Season 3; Episode 3: Storytelling is Our Most Powerful Tool for Change with Holly GordonHolly Gordon is the Chief Impact Officer at Participant Media, overseeing the company's social impact strategy and campaigns, furthering Participant's mission to create storytelling that inspires positive social change. Prior to Participant, Holly co-founded Girl Rising, a global campaign for girls' education. Holly was also an Executive Producer for Girl Rising, the film at the center of the movement. Forbes Magazine named the Girl Rising campaign the #1 Most Dynamic Social Initiative of 2012. Holly was selected by Fast Company as a member of the League of Extraordinary Women and named by Newsweek/Daily Beast as one of 125 Women of Impact. Earlier in her career, Holly was a producer at ABC News.Key Takeaways from this Episode:The Power of Storytelling ·       Use the power of storytelling to make the world a better place by inspiring, empowering, and connecting community leaders on the front lines of change. ·       Stories live inside you, they become purpose when they are expressed outside of you. Change happens when you share that story with someone and you make an agreement to do the thing, it is not an individual sport. Storytelling is our most powerful tool for change.·       In everything we do, we're telling ourselves a story about what is fixed versus what is changeable. They are powerful stories that are usually reinforced by society. Think about the story you're telling yourself, and then challenge yourself with a different way of thinking.·       You can move people from their seats to the streets with amazing stories. Inspire, Empower, Connect·       Emotions are really important in leadership. Activating emotions are hope and inspiration that make you feel activated towards something. They are a motivating force.·       Empower: before we do anything, we ask ourselves, can I do it? You need to create the tools, opportunities, or pathways for people to move from inspired to action. ·       Connection between people is core to making change in any organization or structure. The question that you're answering is, what is everyone else doing? People who believe the same things, catalyze them, give them an opportunity, and then connect them to each other. And then you've got a movement!·       Persuasion vs. Telling: Persuasion is often confused with telling. Persuasion is what happens between sharing a vision and then waiting, listening for the response. It's hearing people, their fears and hopes, and listening enough that you have persuaded them to join the fight.Leadership·       I wake up and I ask, how can I be of service? If you ask yourself that question, you never go wrong, because your incentives are oriented towards setting a vision and listening to what others need in support of it. ·       Leadership is about understanding what people are afraid of and trying to make a consistently supportive environment. Does everyone on the team have what they need to bring their full gifts to our work?·       The history of leadership has been very much about who's holding power, being right, and who has the answers. In the 21st century, leadership is all about choice. Our employees have many choices about where they can work. Leadership becomes a more humanistic-focused effort about communication and understanding. It's a re-imagining of capitalism, from a shareholder perspective to a stakeholder perspective. ·       Leadership leans into vision. It is about telling a story of possibility that other people can imagine and buy into (e.g., Martin Luther King, Jr.). A challenge to achieve something that's just out of reach, but possible.·       Management is the process, systems, structures, and the operational nuts and bolts of getting multiple people to achieve that vision. It's the marriage of vision and management that goes from being a single actor to a leader of an organization. Leadership is about relationships and partnership. Books·       Immunity to Change·       The Athena Doctrine: How Women (and the Men Who Think Like Them) Will Rule the FuturePeople & Organizations·       Participant Media·       Girl Rising·       Hello Sunshine: Reese Witherspoon·       ARRAY: Ava DuVernay·       MACRO: Charles King·       National Domestic Workers Alliance: Ai-jen Poo·       Civic Georgia·       Lara GalinskyTo learn more about my work in executive coaching, leadership development and team effectiveness check out my website, connect with me on LinkedIn or email me at winnie@winnifred.org.  Reach out and tell me what was helpful about today's episode or any suggestions you have for my show.Please leave a review and tell someone else about this show; look below for some instructions on how to leave a review on Apple Podcasts.I look forward to sharing another transformative conversation with you next week!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How to leave a rating or review in Apple Podcasts (on an iOS device)1.      Open the Podcasts app. 2.      Choose “Search” from the bottom row of icons and enter the name of the show (i.e., “Transformative Leadership Conversations”) into the search field3.      Select the show under Shows (not under Episodes)4.      Scroll down past the first few episodes until you see Ratings & Reviews5.      Click “Write a Review” underneath the displayed reviews from other listeners.

Amy Sherman-Palladino is both a thrilling and confounding creator of television—best known for Gilmore Girls, she also helmed a single season of the much-missed Bunheads, and has seen the biggest success of her long television career with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, a 1950s-set series starring Rachel Brosnahan as an upscale New York woman who becomes a (gasp!) stand-up comedian. Tara is joined by her friends Denise Williams and Holly Gordon for a dissection of the just-aired fourth season, including all the Gilmore universe people who showed up (some VERY unwelcome), Susie's sexuality, ASP's blind spots as a writer, production budgets, and that time they were spoiled for  Gilmore by the Warner Brothers studio tour. Plus a new song from Don Brownrigg!

Hi, everyone. Welcome to the third season of transformative leadership conversations with me, your host, Winnie da Silva. “Storytelling is our most powerful tool for changing anything in the world today.” This compelling quote, from one of my upcoming guests Holly Gordon, sums up my aspirational goal for this podcast. Sharing stories to change you, your leadership, your team, your company. As an executive coach and leadership strategist for over 20 years, I've come to know and work with some pretty incredible people. This podcast is designed to share their inspiring stories and practical ideas you can use to develop yourself as a leader, as a person. The first release for Season 3 is coming on March 1st. I'd like to give you a taste of these ten episodes you're going to love. Sarah Snyder is the Founding Director of The Rose Castle Foundation whose mission is to equip leaders with the skills, tools, and habits needed to transform conflict. My conversation with Sarah is like opening a set of Russian dolls; you encounter one story or insight just to discover another one – and another. You know she's for real when her other job is the Archbishop of Canterbury's Special Advisor for Reconciliation. Peter Gordon is the Chief Investment Officer and Head of Commercial Real Estate Debt for a large asset management firm. Peter is the type of leader who instinctively forms his leadership philosophy and approach and then realizes there are a few books out there that back up those instincts. Peter's leadership analogies range from parenthood, tennis, golf, political ideologies…and through his metaphors we gain some fabulous insights. Holly Gordon is the Chief Impact Officer for Participant Media. While she doesn't make the award-winning movies her company produces (An Inconvenient Truth, Spotlight, Green Book), Holly and her team build campaigns around these films to inspire action and change by partnering with grassroots organizations and activists on the front lines. Holly's fascinating background paired with her breadth and depth of thinking on social change, storytelling, leadership - I can't help but hope that Holly will write a book someday soon. Next up will be a conversation with both Peter AND Holly. Yes, Peter and Holly are married and in this special episode, Peter and Holly generously share some details of how their marriage has influenced their own unique leadership perspectives. Our personal relationships are so important in shaping who we are, how we think and how we approach our work. You'll love this compelling example of a relationship that is playful yet serious about ideas around leadership and more which will cause you to reflect on your own relationships and their impact on you. Cassandra Rose is a Founding Partner and DEI Practice Co-Lead at Meritarc, a human capital software company and provider of advisory services. Cassandra helps organizations fully leverage their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion strategy and enables HR and People Leaders to connect the value of their talent with their mission. Cassandra is also a compelling speaker on the topics of benefits equity and centering the BIPOC employee journey for transformative employee engagement. Our conversation will challenge your thinking on all these topics – and more! Lindsey Saletta is the Chief Operating Officer at west-bourne, a food and lifestyle brand that began as the first zero-waste neighborhood restaurant in New York City and is now piloting conscious capitalism in the food industry. I love Lindsey's clarity on her own strengths and how those same strengths can sometimes be barriers to growth. Lindsey is that ambitious and vibrant leader you wish you could call to help you navigate your own career. So, here's your chance! Ajay Easo is the Managing Director at Accenture Interactive and Fjord. Ajay is a “leader of leaders” and has had multiple career iterations during his 21-year tenue at Accenture. Ajay is a big thinker and strategically keeps several balls in the air. But his real superpower is leading without others even realizing it. He prefers to elevate and collaborate with people rather than always having to lead from the front. Our conversation touches on his leadership and the future trends of leadership itself. Marianne Manseau is an Area Vice President at Pernod Ricard, a wine and spirits company whose ambition is to turn every social interaction into a genuine sharing experience. While Marianne's friendly spirit is immediately apparent, underneath that smile is an extremely intentional, hardworking, and ambitious woman. Marianne shares her experience learning to be vulnerable, why intention matters and how her father and three brothers helped shaped the person she is today. Gary Hamilton is a Senior Vice President and Healthcare Practice Leader for WSP which provides management and consultancy services to the built and natural environment. With 25 years of experience in designing and building healthcare facilities globally, Gary is passionate not just about his work but how he shows up as a leader and being a role model for others. Gary's flair for connecting with people and pushing himself past boundaries is inspirational. The Band of Sisters is a tribe of six women who all met when they worked at PepsiCo. I had the pleasure of interviewing three of the six sisters: Lori Marcus, Katie Lacey and Cie Nicholson. These seasoned and savvy women bring a fresh perspective on improving the lives of women in the workplace as they focus on equipping organizations to build more inclusive and productive cultures. Their book You Should Smile More: How to Dismantle Gender Bias in the Workplace will be coming out this fall. Our conversation offers a sampling on this topic with some super practical ways women and men can proactively support women at work.

Participant is the leading media company dedicated to creating entertainment that inspires audiences to engage in positive social change, known for films like Spotlight, An Inconvenient Truth, and Judas and the Black Messiah. Holly discusses the way that journalism first opened her eyes to the idea that she could “tell stories to close gaps of understanding.” In this episode, she describes the “dandelion effect” of powerful storytelling and the way that new narratives can unlock a sense of purpose among would-be change-makers. “Great stories can transform people from someone who is in their seat to someone who is in the street,” she says.

As more and more Canadians are digging into their family's history through genealogy sites and at-home DNA tests, it can raise some sticky questions, and uncover some uncomfortable truths. The question is: what do you do with all that family history you're digging up? On this episode of Now or Never, you'll meet people who are delving into their family's past, in hopes of changing their family's future. '60s Scoop survivor Colleen Hele Cardinal grew up fantasizing that her birth parents were Cher and Eric Estrada. When she went searching for the truth, it led to an identity crisis that nearly destroyed her. Find out what`s helping her heal. As a kid, Kim Ruttig's mom forced her to watch The Lawrence Welk Show on TV - claiming Kim was distant cousins with the legendary polka bandleader. Recently Kim started digging into her family genealogy, and discovered it wasn't just a family legend. 45 years after her son was murdered, Amanda Pierlet is ready to seek closure. She and her granddaughter Holly Gordon take a final trip to commemorate this devastating loss. Jeff Chiba Stearns didn't know a lot about his Japanese-Canadian identity as a kid growing up. But then he started digging into his family's past, and made some surprising discoveries - about the lasting impact of internment camps, integration, and what it means to be mixed-race. And now Jeff's determined to show his two young kids that being "hapa" is something to celebrate. And for the first time, Now or Never host Ify Chiwetelu sits down to ask her mom about her experiences of living through Nigeria's Biafran civil war.

Learn how to successfully adapt to working remotely! In this time of uncertainty, with a global pandemic, what do you need to know from a podcast? Perhaps how to adapt to fast-changing times. We knew that this would be very timely when we recorded our interview with Teresa Douglas about how to work remotely and love it. As she tells us, “The world is now your office! You can work from home, from a coffee shop, or even from the gym — but how do you keep on task and stay motivated when you’re on your own?" Let's learn. When you're connected but solo Here are some of the keynotes we learned from Teresa, and know that we have been remotely working for 20 years now. It “ain’t so hard” but it is very different. Even our clients are happily continuing their businesses during this crisis but missing things they never thought mattered to them. Teresa’s book, "Working Remotely: Secrets to Success for Employees on Distributed Teams," written with Holly Gordon and Mike Webber, sprang from their own need to better work remotely. They were facing serious levels of loneliness. People live in herds and like talking to other people. They also need to learn how to get things from others who are not working down the hall from them. And, networking is more important than ever when you are working in your office of one. Managing the rest of the workplace — your spouse, your kids, your parents, the groceries — requires new skills, ones that you never thought you would need to develop. Teresa helps us do that. For almost all of us today, those who are working remotely or are considering it, "Working Remotely" will serve as an invaluable guide and reference. How to handle this new world of work? In this podcast we talk about: Settling into Your New Environment Dealing with Reactions of Friends and Family Your Workspace, Your Tools, Your Physical Fitness How to Set up Your Day Working Effectively with Your Boss and Others Running Virtual Meetings Parenting in the Remote Workforce Advancing Your Career About Teresa Douglas Teresa has worked remotely since 2010 in a variety of management-level roles.

Have you ever seen a film or piece of content where the experience was so visceral, so moving that you couldn’t forget about it for days? Powerful stories can trigger an emotion, maybe fear, confusion, excitement or joy. They make you ask questions — and want answers. In these moments, you’re no longer a passive audience. You’ve become a participant. In this episode, we’re hearing the journey of Holly Gordon, Co-Founder of Girl Rising and the Chief Impact Officer at Participant Media. Girl Rising is a feature length film that turned into a global movement for girls’ education, anchored in the riveting stories of nine courageous girls living in daunting situations.

Participant Media uses the power of a good story well told to create real world impact and awareness.

A slightly different show today, with some new sections – we look forward to your feedback. We love reading your comments and tweets, whether about Pilar’s recent blog post on Visible Teamwork https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/blog/hello-visible-teamwork, or what you think of book Thinking Remote: Inspiration for leaders and managers of distributed teams (now available in paperback) https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/books - so do keep in touch with us! https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/contact-us  In today’s main section, Pilar and Maya discuss some recent articles about remote and office-optional working which have caught their attention, and raised a range of important issues: Engaging workers as consumers – Deloitte Insights 28-1-19 https://www2.deloitte.com/insights/us/en/topics/talent/using-technology-for-employee-engagement.html Just as work and life are blended in 2019, workers and clients are no longer a dichotomy, and in a digital world we all relate to brands and organisations in complex ways. But they’re all rounded individuals, whether remote colleagues or clients or both! Technology enables more connection and socialisation, but can also create silos and barriers, especially as private conversations may be less visible online than in the colocated space.  There are lots of ways to keep in touch within distributed organisations – including an in-house podcast!   Flexible working can reinforce gender stereotypes - The Conversation Heejung Chung, University of Kent https://theconversation.com/amp/flexible-working-can-reinforce-gender-stereotypes-109158 10-1-19 Reminding us that flexible working still takes place within a wider cultural and business context in which there remains considerable structural inequality, from the gender pay gap to unpaid domestic workload.  A very thought provoking article and discussion, from ‘flexibility stigma’ to the difference in remote working culture between the UK and US. Unpicking perceptions from actual phenomena is always complicated, but this stuff is far from straightfoward, and it matters.   The Slackification of work https://www.fastcompany.com/90236583/the-slackification-of-work Well, we didn’t know that Slack originally stood for ‘Searchable Log of All Conversations and Knowledge’ – but it has certainly had a big impact on many workplaces. The article raises questions about impacts on productivity and relationship, and there are some interesting perspectives. This has meant some managers having to get comfortable with conversations they don’t directly control. This always happened, people made their own relationships and connections at work, and the remote space is no different.  But there is a distinct qualitative difference between a face to face remark and one that is put in writing in any context… “ephemeral does not mean inconsequential“, sums it up perfectly.  "What do you mean by that?" We are joined today to define some important terms, by Dr Richard Mackinnon founder and MD of Work Life Psych Productivity: There are many definitions of this term, which may fit different industries and circumstances, but Richard describes it holistically as doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time. Framing in terms of impact rather than output, is one way to stop measuring the wrong things, and being busy instead of effective. Procrastination: Not always correctly used, but this term defines when we delay doing something, and that delay has a negative impact. Why do we do this, tell ourselves stories, and put things off until they become problematic? Just get on and make a start – check out ep7 of My Pocket Psych for more on this! Habit Stacking: Here’s one way to boost productivity (and maybe even beat procrastination), add the thing you want to do to the thing you already do, as a reminder and trigger. “When I finish eating dinner, I am going to clean the kitchen”. We won’t forget to eat! So connecting the two will enable the building of the new habit we really want to acquire. Productivity Porn: Reading about productivity, installing new apps, and thinking about how to be productive… That is the opposite of getting things done. Habits require consistency and commitment, and actually doing the work – not forever binging the latest theories and tools instead. Keep up with Richard at http://worklifepsych.com/, especially https://www.worklifepsych.com/solutions/productivity/, and of course the podcast (where our own Pilar Orti is a regular co-host) at https://www.worklifepsych.com/podcast/   What are you looking for?

Are work friends different from work friends, are online friends different from face-to-face ones? It’s great to see someone exploring this, and planning to create specific tools to make things easier for remote workers in future. She would love to hear from more freelancers), as well as remote employees, to ensure breadth within the whole office-optional experience.
