As relationships mature, holding hands seem to become less of a priority. And that could be a big mistake. There are real benefits to holding hands and this episode begins by explaining what those benefits are. https://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/05/fashion/05hands.html We may not like to admit it, but just about everyone enjoys a juicy bit of gossip. In fact, we all gossip at least once in a while and that turns out to be a good thing. Gossip serves a lot of useful purposes in life. Frank McAndrew, a leading researcher on gossip joins me to reveal just how gossip works, why most gossip really isn't all that nasty. He also has some advice on how to gossip better.

Juliet Funt is the Founder and CEO of the Juliet Funt Group, as well as the author of the book A Minute to Think. Something lacking in today's busy world is white space. This is time with no assignment and has been proven to boost creativity for you to do your best work. This is in contrast to the culture of busyness which fills up every available moment with tasks that may or may not even be relevant. White space should ultimately be brought home for you to be present with joy, hobbies, family, and children so you do not miss out on your life. HIGHLIGHTS White space allows for thinking time and the flow of creativity Busyness and wellness: Change the culture through dialogue Time thieves are attractive but they turn drive into overdrive Email diet: Touch it less or compose it better QUOTES White space is time with no assignment - Juliet: "In white space, as we define it, we call it time with no assignment. This is you're a dog in the park without a leash and your mind can run, thinking about anything at once, unencumbered by rules, unencumbered by instruction. It's what we're missing. We never have that freedom."  Busyness is ingrained in culture - Juliet: "The salespeople sometimes are in their own personal habitual groove of creating that activity, but it also has to do with the rewards and rules that they live within. So if you have to calendar 20 meetings a week, you're going to find 7 low-value meetings to throw in to make your 20 even though you know that it would be better to focus on the 13 high-value meetings. But you're not allowed to."  An email diet opens up your time for deep work - Juliet: "That moment where you go “Okay, I was going to check email and now I'm not'. And what you learn in that second is that you have no idea what to do other than that. So you're forced into this moment of ‘Wow. What else could be next?' And you look at your calendar and you realize you have 20 minutes til the next call and then it gets weird. And then you start realizing I had no idea how to busy myself if I don't fill with a digital sip."

Juliet Funt is the author of A Minute to Think and CEO of the Juliet Funt Group. She is an evangelist for freeing the potential of companies by unburdening them from busywork. Top 3 Value Bombs: 1. In building fire, you can have great dry wood, crumply newspaper, but if you skip one critical ingredient, your fire will never ignite. That ingredient is space between combustibles, takes a little spark and draws into fire. It's the same for our work. 2. Busyness tricks people into thinking that they are productive when they are only active. That confusion between activity and productivity cost companies millions of dollars. 3. When you want to clock out at the end of the day, trap yourself in a promise. Say out loud that you're done for the day. Saying it out loud creates verbal accountability. It'll be harder to go back some minutes later and work again when you have stated work is over.

Do you wish you could stop the mayhem of work and life and just take a minute? Do you sense you could contribute more if there were a little more room in the day? Does busyness deprive you and your burnt-out team of the oxygen your talents need to catch fire? Many have felt that way, yet taking a pause has seemed impossible—until now. In A Minute to Think, Juliet Funt, a globally recognized warrior in the battle against busyness, provides a powerful guide that will give you the permission, framework, and specific direction you need to do the following: Regain control of your overloaded, caffeinated, inbox-worshiping workday Liberate yourself and your teams from burnout and busywork Reclaim creativity and focus despite the chaos around you Bring thoughtfulness into designing your next work norms Tame the beast of email and escape the mire of meetings Find your precious minute to think You're not alone in your yearning for freedom from constant reactivity. The global workforce today is so fried that it belongs in the food court of a county fair. We're relentlessly behind the curve, dousing fires everywhere, and our 3 a.m. insomnia provides the only unscheduled thinking time of the day. What we need reinserted in our lives is the missing element of white space—short periods of open, unscheduled time that, when recaptured, change the very nature of work. White space is the stepping back, the strategic pause, the oxygen that allows the sparks of our efforts to catch fire. White space has the power to radically—and simply—reinvent the way we approach work in this maxed-out, post-COVID 21st-century world. With Juliet's memorable stories, easy-to-use tools, and razor-sharp instruction, she carves for us an escape route from the overwhelming amount of low-value tasks and the daily avalanche of e-mails, meetings, decks, and reports. Using research, client stories, and a relatable voice, Juliet shows all of us how to reclaim time for thinking and make room for what truly matters. Whether you are an individual trying to build a more sane and humane flow of daily work, a team that wants new levels of efficiency and effectiveness, or an entire organization changing your culture toward thoughtfulness, this book will lead you there.

In this episode of Start With A Win, Adam talks to Juliet Funt, the founder and CEO of The Juliet Funt Group, an efficiency training firm. Juliet and her firm are on a mission to “de-crapify” work, helping business leaders and organizations unleash their full potential by unburdening talent from busywork. She is a renowned keynote speaker and tough-love advisor. Juliet is the author of A Minute to Think: Reclaim Creativity, Conquer Busyness, and Do Your Best Work. Between meetings, emails, reports, and decks, there are so many low-value tasks that sit on top of the talented people in organizations today. It keeps our teams from being able to do their best work. And COVID has only made the problem worse with more Zoom meetings, over communication, and extra emails. Juliet shares her analogy of building a fire and how creating space between the materials is essential to allow oxygenation to happen. In the same way, people need to have space to not only recuperate, but to step back and think and let ideas build. Team members and leaders can be more creative and engaged when they're allowed a strategic pause to think purposely about the next chapter of a project or the business. Juliet believes that leadership is often over-focused on the logistical questions of “where” (where people sit, where should people work, where we sell) when they should be focused on “how” (how do we want to communicate, how do we want people to work). These questions pave the way for a redesign opportunity in how organizations operate.Juliet also shares about what she calls The Wedge, which is a wedge of time inserted between two activities in your day—between a meeting and a meeting, an emotionally challenging email and your response response. By taking a few micro-moments to process what just happened rather than just jumping to the next thing, our brain can actually better retain information and think more critically. And even if it's only for a few minutes, that “white space” should be completely open time, think about anything we want in those times, which also gives our brain time for ideation and creativity.Episode Links:https://www.julietfunt.comA Minute to Think: Reclaim Creativity, Conquer Busyness, and Do Your Best Workhttps://www.julietfunt.com/book/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thejulietfuntLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julietfunt/Order your copy of Start With A Win: Tools and Lessons to Create Personal and Business Success:https://www.startwithawin.com/bookConnect with Adam:https://www.startwithawin.com/https://www.facebook.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://twitter.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://www.instagram.com/REMAXadamcontos/ Leave us a voicemail:888-581-4430

Juliet Funt is the founder/CEO of the Juliet Funt Group. She is also the author of a new book that is high on my list of favorites, A Minute to Think: Reclaim Creativity, Conquer Busyness, and Do Your Best Work. In today's episode Juliet and I talk about the importance of giving yourself room to think and reclaiming "white space " in your day. White space is time with no assignment. I love that phrase. So, we dig into what white space is, how it benefits you (in terms of fighting cognitive fatigue and overload), and what white space isn't: meditation or mindfulness. As Juliet shares, white space it's a more purposeful use of time than that.  This episode was recorded in Early 2021.

She is the founder and CEO of The Juliet Funt Group, helping business leaders and organizations to unleash their full potential by unburdening talent from busywork. She has earned one of the highest ratings in the largest leadership event in the world, and she has worked with brands such as Spotify, National Geographic, Costco, Pepsi, Nike, and many more. Her new book is titled, A Minute to Think: Reclaim Creativity, Conquer Busyness, and Do Your Best Work. In this conversation, Juliet and I explore the four assets that many leaders bring to the workplace — and when taken too far, how these assets become risks. Juliet shares four questions we can ask of ourselves (and perhaps of others) that will surface where to start with finding space. Plus, we discuss some of the practical steps leaders can take to influence a culture of margin with their teams. Key Points The science is showing what many of us have experienced intuitively: space itself helps us to explore and expand possibility. Key assets can, if overused, become risks. These risks manifest in four ways: overdrive, perfectionism, overload, and frenzy. Four questions are useful starting points for controlling risk: When the risk is overdrive, the question is: Is there anything I can let go of?  When the risk is perfectionism, the question is: Where is ‘good enough', good enough? When the risk is overload, the question is: What do I truly need to know? When the risk is frenzy, the question is: What deserves my attention?

Juliet Funt is the founder/CEO of the Juliet Funt Group. She is also the author of a new book that is high on the list of my favorites, "A Minute to Think: Reclaim Creativity, Conquer Busyness, and Do Your Best Work." In today's episode Juliet and I talk about the importance of giving yourself room to think and reclaiming "white space " in your day. White space is time with no assignment. I love that phrase. So, we dig into what white space is, how it benefits you (in terms of fighting cognitive fatigue and overload), and what white space isn't: meditation or mindfulness. As Juliet shares, white space it's a more purposeful use of time than that.  Sponsored by: ringDNA | Transform your sales team into a high-performing revenue engine | www.ringDNA.com/andy Blueboard | A rewarding alternative to President's Club | https://podcast.blueboard.com Explore the ringDNA Podcast Universe: Sales Enablement Podcast | https://bit.ly/SEP-LP Selling with Purpose Podcast | https://bit.ly/SWP-LP RevOps Podcast | https://bit.ly/RP-LP Learn more about your ad choices.
