Podcast appearances and mentions of John K Coyle

Make Your Life Feel Longer, with John K. Coyle, Olympic Speed Skater and Design Thinking Expert If you watched the 1994 Winter Olympics, you may recognize today's guest. Because he ended up taking home the silver medal in speed skating that winter with his team. Today's episode is exciting and thrilling as our guest shares his adventurous journey. From 55 times he almost died, his thoughts about the perception of time, to how he led the shift from contract cellphone plans to non-contract plans... you'll be hanging onto every word John shares. He even shared, for the first time in a public forum, the personal story behind a poem he wrote that has since been shared with hundreds of thousands of people. Join me in our episode today as I take the journey to the great mind of an Olympian, storyteller, keynote speaker, author, and a leading expert in "Design Thinking” and Innovation --- John K. Coyle This episode is an idea of flow, adventure, risk, and creativity combined in one. A Danger Seeker “In a lot of cases in life, bigger risks mean bigger rewards” ---John Coyle John's whole life, he's sought out thrills. Intentionally. And in moderate numbers each year. He described himself as a kid who'd go to a haunted mansion on the hill at midnight with no flashlight. From a young age, John's fearlessness and resilience set him apart. As he said, I think I'm a dopamine resistant.” He fearlessly embraced physical challenges that others would shy away from. He made tough decisions that others wouldn't dare to make. When faced with a lack of success on the Olympic team, John took a leap and decided to train on his own. This audacious move earned him triumphs beyond imagination, breaking US and world records and proving that daring choices could lead to tremendous achievements. Throughout his life, John's willingness to embrace uncertainty and go against the grain paid off. In this section, pay special attention to how anyone can use seeking danger, thrills, and stories to increase the perception of time. Your life will be more fulfilling. Losing Creative People Reflecting on my own generation, Gen Z, I note how college made more sense in their time when company routes were prominent. John unveils how swiftly shooting down ideas dampens creativity and causes talented minds to withdraw, leading to a decline in business growth and potential failure, "So, it's about what's that calculated risk, and divergent thinkers, creative thinkers, are just capable of thinking far outside of the comfort zone than your convergent thinkers, and if you shut them down all the time, if you don't absorb them, if you fire them or if they leave, then you just don't have that pool of ideas that can help a business grow beyond its current boundaries. And that's how businesses die." I'm left pondering the significance of nurturing a culture that welcomes innovative ideas, disruption, and calculated risks... "So now they're essentially permanently shut down. They just don't bring ideas anymore. And then the third strike happens is they leave because people join companies, and they leave leaders. The reason they leave leaders, 52% of the write-in votes is my boss is not open to my ideas. So now you've just had an exodus of all your creative people, and this is how big companies go out of business." Amygdala Driven Moments, Time Perception Our conversation takes an intriguing turn as we discuss his research on the...

One of the most dangerous things that a leader can say is “we've tried this before and it didn't work.”   It's so crucial for an organization to have team members who are innovative enough to bring new ideas to the table. Especially if you're someone who's been inside the box for so long, it's refreshing to have people come in and help you take a look outside of the box.   One way to squash your team's innovation is through shutting them down by outrightly rejecting their ideas.   Today's guest, John Coyle is one of the world's leading experts in design, thinking, and innovation. So we talk about how leaders can foster innovation in their organizations all while maintaining decisiveness. It's not an easy feat as we know there are quite a few leaders out there who are so used to their old ways that they resist change and are unwilling to change, as well.   Some important highlights we bring into the discussion are:   How leaders can foster innovation within the organization while maintaining decisiveness, and How to encourage your team to come up with innovative ideas and take action on the right ones   Don't be that leader who shuts down their team's innovative ways. Be the one that cultivates it!   Discussion Points:   0:00 Introduction   2:19 A short story about the most dangerous words leaders use in their organizations   3:45 The 3-strike science behind a person's creativity and innovative shutdown   5:25 How leaders can remain open to new ideas while being firm and decisive   6:36 Technique leaders can use to promote the team's creative and innovative thinking   8:29 Effective ways to generate ideas from the team   9:47 Leaders shifting from project-based to people-based mindset — being the champion of your team's ideas   10:56 Balancing the need for new ideas while sticking to your organization's values and purpose   12:02 The Innovation Equation   15:05 Tips for leaders to transition from the boss who prevents innovative thinking to one that promotes it   17:53 Humility in leadership brings teams together   18:39 What about leaders who are resistant and unwilling to change?   20:39 Combining learner leadership and decisiveness   22:29 Action items for creating a balance between an innovative mindset and a decisive one   23:35 What happens then to the team members whose ideas were not chosen?   24:55 Best leaders make sure they act on the right ideas and give clear accountability to team members   26:57 Be willing to hear a NO or be prepared to make some tweaks so the NO becomes a YES   About the Guest:   John K.
