Podcasts about how stuart

If it were up to Stuart Lancaster, he'd make emotional intelligence, communication and leadership core subjects starting early on in school. The nationally recognized rugby coach and high-performance leadership expert shares his experience and insights  -- on and off the field -- in this episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast. Vision and purpose are the starting point for Stuart, whose online master class distills years of learning gleaned from navigating highly competitive environments. He has observed that the most successful leaders take focused time to know themselves and, with that self-awareness, are able to communicate authentically. That vulnerability, says Stuart, is more than anything else what compels and inspires people to give 110% to whatever team effort. But where do leaders come from? How are they made? Based on his own observations as a coach, Stuart believes age and seniority in no way guarantee the ability to empower and drive teams. Organizations depend on clearly articulated goals and a culture of safety in which everyone – from the novice to the veteran – feels respected and heard. Enjoy this lively exchange of ideas and candid look at what it takes to build a healthy team environment in which everyone thrives – whether on the rugby pitch, at the highest echelons of commerce or in everyday life.

Rugby started as an athletic pursuit for Stuart but, following an injury, wound up putting him on the path to coaching and ultimately becoming a sought-after expert on leadership strategies for high-performance cultures. How Stuart defines and measures for environments that are healthy, diverse and inclusive. The role of psychological safety in workplace cultures and the purpose it serves as far as empowering and inspiring teams. Genuine diversity of opinion and fresh ideas can't happen without everyone – from top leadership on down – feeling confident that their voice will be respected and heard.  Investing in young people and growing leadership from within is a core value for Stuart that he believes translates across all kinds of organizations. Big personalities will by default become dominant leaders – when in fact the loudest voices don't necessarily make the best leaders. Seniority doesn't always equate with visionary leadership. To the contrary! Purpose-driven training and vision are key elements in the development of leaders in any team culture. Before identifying a leader it's critically important to have a process and understand the nature of the role as well as a candidate's skill set. Why authenticity is so important to cultivating a successful leadership style. Growth mentality requires curiosity, hunger to learn more and the ability to receive constructive criticism as a gift. High-performance cultures start early, cultivating the basics that Stuart believes are essential (and the sooner the better): emotional intelligence, communication and leadership skills. Vision: Where we're going. Purpose: Why we're doing it. Stuart shares thoughts on how to use internal communications to inspire organizations and create aspirational energy. Parting Thought: Inspiring leadership is more important than ever and requires time to get quiet, reflect on values and dig deep for the vulnerability that will resonate with and motivate others.

Stuart Chittenden is a highly interesting character. A lawyer by trade, he moved to Omaha, Nebraska from England after marrying his wife and grew fascinated by the inherent power of conversation. That fascination led him to start Squish Talks—the organization he has leveraged to unlock human potential in all areas of society simply through conversation.  On this episode of The Sidewalk Talk podcast, Traci laughs, learns, and grows from her conversation with Stuart as they converse about all things politics, crying, crying about politics, the movie “Inside Out,” and their plans for a COVID coming out party. As many questions as Traci asks him, Stuart asks them right back to her, and what results is an engaging back and forth about Squish Talks and Sidewalk Talk and how these two individuals are using their platforms to create a world built on connection.    Episode Milestones [00:07] Intro  [02:34] Meet Stuart  [07:02] Stuart asks Traci why she started Sidewalk Talk  [07:58] The heart behind Squish Talks and Sidewalk Talk  [12:40] Stuart's travels around Nebraska and what it taught him  [14:53] Crying after the last presidential election and Stuart's feelings now  [18:03] How Stuart recovered from the election and regained his belief in conversation  [23:34] Practices and experiences to carry forward post-COVID  [26:48] Coming out of COVID party  [30:27] How Stuart finds ways to engage in dialogue politically  [36:22] Listening, silence, and humor as components of dialogue  [41:11] What's next for Stuart  [44:17] Outro    Resources Mentioned Squish Talks   Standout Quotes from the Episode “Conversation does have the power to connect people, but it also affirmed my sense that people have a desperate, and deep, and profound yearning to be seen by other people.” —Stuart Chittenden  “A conversation is never meant to share a truth with someone else.

Top Real Estate Teams: What You Will Learn: Stuart and Delroy’s journey with Live Distinct, DenverGents, and Agent Daily Dose Why Stuart and Delroy decided to start a team in the first place How Stuart and Delroy’s similarities and differences play into the team dynamic Where Stuart and Delroy seek counsel and mentorship How the growth of their online presence has impacted their businesses How Stuart and Delroy maintain brand consistency across all of their social media What real estate agents can expect signing up for Agent Daily Dose The Power of Partnerships Stuart Crowell and Delroy Gill are transforming the landscape of the Denver real estate market as they work to become one of the top real estate teams in 2020. Since people do not buy or sell real estate the same way they used to, Stuart and Delroy have seized the opportunity to engage and communicate with potential buyers in entirely new ways! New buyer behaviors demand new marketing methods, so Stuart and Delroy have harnessed the power of storytelling, teamwork, and community involvement to build their strategy. They are the team leaders of the Live Distinct brand, co-founders of the DenverGents nonprofit, and the creators of the real estate coaching organization, Agent Daily Dose. By helping their clients find properties based on lifestyle and livability, they bring a unique flavor to the market that is changing the realtor-client dynamic in the Denver area! Team Energy The top real estate teams are top producers, so Stuart and Delroy’s goal for 2020 is to close $75M in volume. With a combined 10 years’ experience, Stuart and Delroy joined forces in order to cast the widest net possible. They realized that a successful business requires support, whether in the form of a business partner or assistants. When you are trying to net high volume, it is extremely easy to get bogged down by the day-to-day tasks that prevent you from producing. Having some level of support or partnership will free you up to hit your goals. It may happen organically or you may have to seek it out. Regardless of how it’s structured, the energy of a team atmosphere will take your business to a new level. Team Chemistry Stuart and Delroy have proven that, with the right chemistry, you can find a rhythm and achieve great success. One of the main reasons Live Distinct is rising to the top of the Denver real estate market is because they are both go-getters. They don’t fuss over secondary responsibilities, and they check their egos at the door. Stuart and Delroy aren’t concerned with revenue alone; they are concerned with providing the highest level of value to their clients as they possibly can. Find a partner whose differences and similarities bring you closer to that type of vision, and nothing will stop you! Photo by Expect Best from Pexels About Stuart Crowell and Delroy Gill Stuart Crowell and Delroy Gill are creating a shift in the Denver residential real estate market. The way real estate is bought and sold is changing, and with that change brings opportunities for sellers to engage with potential buyers in new and unique ways. For too long, real estate marketing methods have been dormant and non-effective, at the expense of the client. Their vision is to offer their clients truly unique and effective strategies when it comes to marketing the lifestyle and liveability of a home, or finding a hidden purchase opportunity.

This week I'm excited to welcome Nicki Steinberger. She grew up in an Eastern European and French American family in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Nicki eats, lives, and breathes everything "holistic health," and loves teaching, writing, and speaking. She is the creator of the Holistic Lifestyle Practices (HLP) approach to reversing type 2 diabetes. With a focus on health psychology, her mission is to help everyday people take back their health and reclaim joy, vitality, and plenty. Dr. Nicki and her beloved family split their time between the coastal regions of the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. At sunrise, you'll find them exploring enchanted hiking trails, and on starry nights, sleeping under the stars. Dr. Nicki blogs at DrNickiSteinberger.com.   Questions asked in the episode - What early warning signs may we experience if pre-diabetic? - Which foods are the worst offenders where blood sugar is concerned? - Does medication offer a good solution in managing the condition?   Stu This week I'm excited to welcome Dr. Nicki Steinberger. Dr. Steinberger is a holistic health educator, writer, speaker and coach. She teaches people how to prevent and reverse type 2 diabetes using intricitive holistic lifestyle medicine. In this episode, we discuss the early warning signs, common myths and strategies that we can adopt to change the path of the epidemic that is type 2 diabetes. Over to Dr. Steinberger. 01:16 Hey guys, this is Stu from 180 Nutrition, and I am delighted to welcome Dr. Nicki Steinberger to the podcast. Dr. Nicki, how are you? Nicki 01:25 How Stuart. I am feeling good. Thank you so much for having me here. It's an honor. Stu 01:28 Oh I really appreciate being able to tap into your wisdom today. So before we do so, I was just wondering if you could tell our listeners a little bit about yourself please. Nicki 01:41 Sure. So, let's see, if I go back to childhood for a moment, I would just say that I was an introverted, quiet child who sort of sought out the truth of things and was an observer. Stu 01:58 Yes. Nicki  01:58 And I've been a writer my whole life. I was a song writer and played guitar an sang and did poetry and that sort of thing. I left high school early and went and followed the Grateful Dead for a couple of years, so I've always been sort of a non-conformist. Stu 02:16 Yeah. Nicki 02:17 And then I found my way back to psychology school somehow. I was actually sitting in my therapist's office and going, "You know, I could do that. I could be sitting in the other chair. I think I can do that." So, I ended up in a school for spiritual psychology, which was pretty life changing. And from there I transferred to do a doctorate in clinical psychology, feeling burnt out on kind of therapy and didn't want to go down that road. So I thought, "Well, I can write and I can teach and do research." 02:54 And then about almost ten years ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, so I took that next year to see what I could do on my own. What kind of program I could put together. I'd been studying nutrition and holistic health for decades and a year later when I was tested again and I had reverse type 2 and other conditions, it was my sort of "aha" moment, where I then transitioned into holistic health education and started doing community workshops in the San Francisco Bay area, working with clients and then started thinking about writing this book which I did over the last few years. And that's me in a nutshell. Stu 03:40 Fantastic. Oh I love the story. And I think the area of that story that people are really going to resonate with right now, want to know more, is the reversal of type 2 diabetes, which I think will probably form a lot of the conversation that we have today. And before we get into the techniques and strategies that you used to reverse your type 2 diabetes, why do you think it's becoming so popular? It just seems now like it's a term now that is used so commonly. Because so many people seem to becoming diabetic, which is kind of crazy. What are your thoughts?

Stuart Lombard is serious about saving energy. Even with no background in the energy sector and no experience in consumer electronics, Stuart set out to create a better way to manage energy in the home. “When we started people were like ‘Why are you doing thermostats? That’s the stupidest idea ever!’” With a degree in applied mathematics and a background in leading businesses, he started a company that produced one of the first connected thermostats. How a potential setback set the course for continued success Before the launch of Ecobee, thermostats were programmable, but not wifi connected. In 2009, Stuart led Ecobee to raise capital, secure investors, and release the first connected thermostat to market. It was a huge success. However, 2 years later NEST introduced their cheaper and more feature-rich thermostat. What could’ve been a devastating setback turned into be a defining moment for the company. How you respond when unforeseen trouble arises can make or break your company. For Stuart Lombard, even a potentially crippling challenge couldn’t stop his optimism or passion for creating a great product. Instead of giving up, the Ecobee team dug in and found a way to create the next best product that would put them back on top of the connected thermostat market. How Apple set the expectation for all consumer electronics Even though they don’t make thermostats, Apple has set the expectations for all consumer electronics when it comes to form and function. This has led Stuart Lombard and his team to pursue excellence and innovation. During our conversation, Stuart shares five competitive pillars that Ecobee strives to win at with every product. One key to success that Stuart shares is the importance of slowing down. For startup companies, everything is urgent. However, when you are first developing a product you have to take your time and consider every detail. Once you’ve solidified the actual product, then you can speed up. Knowing the rhythm of when to slow down and when to push forward is critical. The mission that propels Ecobee Ecobee's mission is greater than creating a great consumer product. It is about making the world a better place and helping people reduce their carbon footprint. They have a program that allows customers to anonymize their data and share it for research purposes. This program helps Ecobee make life better and more efficient through their products. They are also partnering with utility companies to help them serve their customers. I ask Stuart Lombard about the advantages and disadvantages of running a tech company in Toronto. He shares that there is a wealth of talent in Toronto, with less competition than Silicon Valley. The cost of living and quality of life are also better. Access to capital and quality of the teams continues to raise the level of opportunity for Ecobee. What the future holds for Ecobee Ecobee continues to innovate by bringing new and improved products to market. The newest is the Switch Plus, which is a wifi connected light switch. It has occupancy detection so it will turn on the lights in a dark hallway. It will also turn off lights for you. Listen as Stuart shares about how their light switch solves common problems in the home. 10 years into the business and Stuart Lombard says he is as excited as ever about the opportunities ahead for Ecobee. They are continuing to research and learn the needs of customers. He believes the connected home will be the next computing platform. With all the adversity that Ecobee and Stuart Lombard has faced, they have been able to overcome and take their place at the top of the smart thermostat industry.

As a promising college student with an apparent bright future ahead of him, Stuart’s life looked great on paper.  But on the inside, Stuart was struggling with lots of negativity, and before he knew it, everything had spiraled out of control.  Negativity can be a vicious seed of self-destruction if left unresolved; it’s like purposely planting weeds in your backyard, only to get angry and wonder how the whole garden got so ugly.  But with Stuart’s story comes a great upside, as you can truly create great change in your life and design your own fate if you’re willing to listen to things that your body and mind are telling you, and embrace the “process” of creating a happy life. **Please pardon the sound quality here - learning curve!**    Some highlights from this episode include: -How he started having negative thoughts, and the ripple effect it had on it’s life... -Some of the advice he received about his problem - acknowledgement of struggle vs. “snap out of it” mentality -Why he specifically chose to NOT give his problem a label, whether it be depression, anxiety, negativity, etc. -The power of simply deciding to manifest change in your life, and how Stuart went about this -How Stuart’s second round of battling negativity came back into his life, and how he decided to make some even bigger changes  -The Blank Page Effect - what is this, and how can you use it to find meaning, excitement, and direction in your life -The importance of employing the proper mindset during periods of transition and change
