Podcast appearances and mentions of karen hardwick

The first episode of 2023 my conversation with Karen Joy Hardwick. Karen recently released a new book, The Connected Leader: 7 Strategies to Empower Your True Self and Inspire Others.   And while it is a leadership book aimed particularly at business leaders, as I read The Connected Leader, I found that so much of the uplift Karen advocates for can be extended into our conversations outside of our work lives — whether you consider yourself a leader or not.   Karen and I have a deeply meaningful conversation about the role ego plays in our relationships with ourselves and with others, a way to think about listening to ourselves and to others that doesn't feel so gimmicky, and her belief that we must shed the desire to want to “save” someone else when we disagree with who they are or what they believe.   You can learn more about Karen's work at https://karenjhardwick.com/ and you can connect with her on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenjhardwickinc/.

Hello Beautiful People!CONNECT WITH JENNAH-LOUISEWork With Me | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseCONNECT WITH KARENWebsite | https://karenjhardwick.com On today's podcast we have Karen Hardwick.

She helps people to awaken, courageously lead and unlock the power of connection in their lives and work. She is the author of the book, ‘The Connected Leader: 7 Strategies to Empower Your True Self and Inspire Others'. What I love about this conversation is Karen's absolute presence. As a leader of connection she shows up in a way that has you feel safe, heard and seen. This is certainly a vulnerable conversation as we delve into the darkness of connection, how disconnection can fuel distraction, numbing and addiction, and we explore the theme in the realm of Gabor Mate's work, stop asking why the addiction and start asking why the pain. Connection is a biological imperative, and this isn't just in relation to us and our surroundings, our relationships with others, but also our relationship with ourselves, and so in knowing that we discuss how to stop fearing ourselves and start being with ourselves. Please enjoy this conversation with Karen.#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

So you can be connected to others both at home, and as a leader.

Welcome to Innovation Meets Leadership! I'm your host, Natalie Born. In this episode, we share a conversation about self-discovery.

Main Takeaways: Leaders Have a Human Being Crisis Empathy is A Superpower Finding Ourselves in Silence Key Takeaways: “We are not leaders having a leadership crisis. We're leaders having a human being crisis. So when we let that sink in and wash over us, what does that mean?

When it comes to the Great Resignation and employee burnout studies are telling us more and more about the power of connection and purpose when it comes to engaging with and stewarding those whom we lead. Recent findings also suggest that ¾ of executives say they are currently concerned about their own mental health. The truth of the matter is, we cannot connect with anyone in sustainable, healthy ways unless we connect with ourselves in meaningful and honest ways first! Self reflection is some of the most courageous work we can do and it will make everything and everyone around us - better!In this week's episode, Jenni has a conversation with Karen Hardwick, an Atlanta-based psychotherapist and leadership consultant who has coached leaders at top companies including ESPN, UPS, and Turner Broadcasting, to be better leaders at both work and home through the superpower of connection. Karen combines psychology, spirituality and leadership principles to focus on first connecting with yourself to make you a better leader at the office but also enhance your relationships at home and in the community.As leaders we need to consistently pursue self awareness along with journeying through the process of self discovery. Self awareness is about information but self discovery brings transformation. We need to do the hard work of understanding how our story and experiences may be affecting our current leadership in unhealthy ways. The more successful we become the easier it becomes to squander rather than steward the giftings given to us and a tremendous amount of damage can be done in our wake because whatever we do not own will only grow stronger. For a next step, check out our 4 Dimensions of Extraordinary Leadership Course. Too many leaders feel overwhelmed and ill-equipped to lead. If you can relate to that challenge, you might be asking yourself some questions. What does great leadership look like? How do you become a healthy extraordinary leader? In this course, Jenni walks you through a framework for leadership that will be an anchor in your growth journey as you pursue self discovery and self awareness to lead both yourself and others better.  Resources: Book: The Connected LeaderFREE Test: Enneagram AssessmentConnect w Jeanne: Website InstagramFacebook

In this rendition of The Way Out I'm beyond excited to bring you an exceptional interview with person in long term recovery on the family side and author of The Connected Leader: 7 Strategies to Empower Your True Self and Inspire Others, Karen Hardwick. Karen shares with us her journey to and through recovery to this point and embodied with it an empowering message of the power of connection. Karen shares how only authentic connection to our true selves and inner truth can result in genuine connection to others which is in many ways the antidote to addiction. The Way Out faithful will recall the familiar refrain of what the 12-Steps remedy on a macro level, and in a word it's relationships. First, we address our problematic relationship with substances, behaviors, or people. That's Step One. Next, we address our relationship with a power greater than ourselves. That's the 2nd and 3rd Steps. In Steps 4 through 7, we address our relationship with ourselves. Then and only then, can we repair and build genuine relationships with others, because we're connecting from our authentic selves, which creates the kind of pure acceptance that cannot be imitated by any substance or addictive behavior. We then have the opportunity to take this relationship transformation to the next level which is all about continuing the process we started of embracing our true selves and systematically discarding counterproductive thought and behavior patterns, flaws or character defects if you will, that get in the way of true connection to ourselves and others. Karen likes to call this being flawsome! Our flaws, which are often rooted in big or small traumas, reveal the ways in which we have opportunities to grow in our recovery. To be sure, the 12-Steps aren't the only way to do this important work, as we've highlighted on this podcast in a variety of ways and will continue to do so. Dating way back to our hunter and gatherer days we've been biologically programmed to seek this sort of authentic connection for our very survival, because not being accepted into a group then meant certain death from predators or starvation. This fundamental drive is just as important to our well-being today as it was then because the lack of connection and acceptance can wreak havoc on us in myriad ways mentally, emotionally, and physically. Karen shares how we can make the daily, active decision to lean into, and indeed embrace our true selves and begin the transformational journey of authentically connecting to our selves and others so that we can truly recover and if we chose, become connected leaders for ourselves and the people we surround ourselves with so listen up.

How do you act when you are in a leadership position?  Do you sometimes find yourself playing a role?  In this episode,  Karen Hardwick, author of The Connected Leader: 7 Strategies to Empower Your True Self and Inspire Others, explains the power of living and leading with your true self.

Today I talked to Karen Joy Hardwick about her book The Connected Leader: 7 Strategies to Empower Your True Self and Inspire Others (Post Hill Press, 2021). We are not leaders having a leadership crisis. We are leaders having a human being crisis. Connection is the antidote to this crisis—yet, many of us do not know how to connect to ourselves in a rigorously honest, self-compassionate way that enhances self-discovery and leads to creating healthy relationships with others. Without this self-connection, we cannot connect—in a meaningful way—to a higher purpose or engage with others in ways that help them step into their gifts. With the help of Karen Hardwick's connection architecture, we can create the kind of relationships that are transforming and inspiring. By learning how to show up with her seven attributes of connection, we can empower workplaces and relationships through the grace and grit, resilience and empathy, honesty and authenticity that occurs when our connection-wiring is activated in healthy ways. Hardwick's willingness to share her own stories of struggle and triumph—along with anecdotes from the boardroom to the family room—draws us into the pages of this book and helps us to awaken and courageously lead. She uniquely synthesizes the emotional, spiritual, and relational, giving us permission to look at the ways we do damage to ourselves and others while inviting us to live and lead from a place of true well-being, tapped into our purpose, and lifting up others. Karen Joy Hardwick, M.Div, MSW is a global leadership consultant, coach, and clinically-spiritually trained psychotherapist with Masters Degrees from both Princeton Theological Seminary and Rutgers. She works with Fortune 1,000 leaders, teams, and entrepreneurs around the world on how to become Connected Leaders™. She hosts the Saving You a Seat podcast and speaks to many audiences on how the power of connection transforms the leadership landscape and elevates our wellbeing, engagement, and empowerment. She lives in Atlanta with her son and is surrounded by her connection-warriors.

Today I talked to Karen Joy Hardwick about her book The Connected Leader: 7 Strategies to Empower Your True Self and Inspire Others (Post Hill Press, 2021). We are not leaders having a leadership crisis. We are leaders having a human being crisis. Connection is the antidote to this crisis—yet, many of us do not know how to connect to ourselves in a rigorously honest, self-compassionate way that enhances self-discovery and leads to creating healthy relationships with others. Without this self-connection, we cannot connect—in a meaningful way—to a higher purpose or engage with others in ways that help them step into their gifts. With the help of Karen Hardwick's connection architecture, we can create the kind of relationships that are transforming and inspiring. By learning how to show up with her seven attributes of connection, we can empower workplaces and relationships through the grace and grit, resilience and empathy, honesty and authenticity that occurs when our connection-wiring is activated in healthy ways.

The following is a list of those 7 strategies: 1. connecting consciously 2. listening deeply 3. exhibiting empathy 4. celebrating curiosity 5. demonstrating accountability 6. navigating chaos comfortably 7. walking with confidence In the book, Karen shares that there is a human being crisis and that “connection” is the antidote.

Her Story and How Leadership Can be Found in Anyone Karen's mother was diagnosed with a terminal illness when Karen was 10. Her mother's illness paired with an abusive home life, financial struggles, and the need to constantly pretend everything was fine forced Karen to become an adult when she was far too young. She became a leader for her two siblings and eventually developed the seven attributes of leadership that her book is based around: connecting consciously, listening deeply, exhibiting empathy, celebrating curiosity, demonstrating accountability, navigating chaos comfortably, and walking with confidence.
