Podcasts about leadership resources

In this episode of The Leaders Journey podcast, Jim and Trisha are joined by Reverend Dr. Timothy Scoonover, senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. With over a decade of pastoral experience, Timothy shares how, as an unlikely nomade, he has led his congregation through a journey of adaptive leadership, emotional health, and spiritual formation. Timothy's story is a powerful reminder that leadership in today's world is a long, slow process. Through cultivating emotional and spiritual health, investing in personal practices, and creating a community culture that supports one another, leaders can navigate the turbulence of change and conflict. A native of Knoxville, Tennessee, Timothy graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science in Human Services.  He received his Master of Divinity from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts, where he was awarded as the Walters Preaching Scholar. Timothy married his high school sweetheart, Ashley, and they have two sons, Cooper and Micah. He is passionate about church renewal, making disciples, University of Tennessee sports, tennis, coffee, and time with family.

Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical advice to elevate your business and personal productivity!   “I have these conversations all the time where I see the overwhelm, basically, that's happening, I see the tool fatigue. I see the shiny tool distraction syndrome. And I think what is so helpful is to really peel back and focus on your basics as it pertains to your business. So what I mean is if you identify you've got a weakness and maybe your email marketing system, and you're not happy with how that's working, or it's not working to be said that you know, it needs to in order to generate a return.”- Natasha Kaye   Key highlights of this discussion:   Tech Stack Advice: Businesses should focus on improving basic systems that generate ROI before exploring more advanced tools. Avoid tool fatigue by choosing tools that solve specific weaknesses in the business. Efficiency and Productivity: Emphasize understanding personal and business needs to enhance efficiency. Conduct a personal assessment of daily activities and personality types to optimize work processes. AI and Human Touch: Importance of maintaining a personal touch when using AI tools to avoid losing human connections.Use AI tools like chatbots to automate and enhance, not replace, personal interactions.

Drawing on her Irish-Celtic heritage, Julianne Stanz helps us explore the Celtic idea of the “thin places” and how to help children create spaces for grace in their lives. While thin places have always been associated with specific ancient locations, it is clear that we have entered a thin space today, time of spiritual displacement. This spiritual displacement finds its voice in communal expressions of pain such as protesting and social media trends, and in rioting and civil unrest.  If we can navigate this well, we can emerge stronger, more connected to one another, more empathetic, peaceful and hopeful—and as a result, we will be able to solve problems differently by working together. One way of navigating this thin space effectively, both within ourselves and as a society, is by drawing from the wellspring of ancient spiritual traditions, especially those from the world of the Celtic spirituality. How do we help our children to navigate their own thin times of transformation, growth and wonder?  Tapping into the thin places in your life where there is space to listen to the messages that our beyond our everyday existence.  To meet those thin places in your life, one must slow down, step away from the distractions, and listen.  We are often disconnected from our spirit and teaching teens to get quiet and shut out the noise, is key to helping them find their own inner voice.  Help your teen recognize the things that pull them away and keep them from being centered.   Some strategies to get quiet and connect to your greater self is prayer, mediation, walk in nature, listen to what you're hearing without allowing your mind think for you. Teens can be tuned into everything, and nothing because it's so shallow.  Pain that is not transformed will be transferred. As a parent, what are you transferring that was negative for you and how can you heal yourself? Research shows that this generation of teens is more interested in having a conversation about spirituality. They want to be more connected to a greater connection. Junk drawer: a place where you stuff away the pain. How can you help your teen open their drawer, find a deeper connection to their spiritually to work though their junk drawer? Who is your teens soul-friend? That mirror that helps guide them to their higher self by walking with them through their difficult times, and happy moments.    It's important for parents to share their stories of family so teens can understand who came before them and become inspired by how their family moved forward.       You were made for more!

Humans are spiritual beings but unfortunately, because we are so influenced by external factors, many of us have become disconnected from our spiritual selves. This results in people making life and career choices that do not align with their core values or purpose, which is causing a great deal of suffering. Today's inspiring guest, Joseph Holt, is on a mission to help people make work (and life) decisions that allow them to live their lives in a way that is true to their core values, ideals and beliefs. Joe has held an amazingly diverse range of jobs throughout the course of his life, from gym teacher to Jesuit priest to stock broker to corporate attorney, to today where he is living out his calling as a professor at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business teaching spirituality, ethics, gender equity, and negotiations courses. In this episode, Joe delves into the 7 Recommended Practices for Being Your Spiritual Best Self at Work that he has developed, which include:    Set yourself up for spiritual success Determine whether you need to see your current work differently or do different work Be alert for opportunities to be your spiritual best self Choose your work (and life) friends wisely Be as committed to your spiritual well-being as you are to your physical well-being Monitor your spiritual progress (or regress!) with special attention to impact Listen most of all to the quiet inner voice that guides you at your best. Joe shares that “Morality is the public face of your spirituality,” so tune in today to hear how you can strengthen the link between these two vitally important facets of your life and take new, enlivening steps to find long-lasting meaning and fulfillment in your work.    Key Highlights From This Episode: • Introducing Joseph (Joe) Holt, former Jesuit priest and current professor at the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business.

Today on Wash Talk: The Carwash Podcast, we welcome back five carwash market leaders to hear their answers to the same question: What resources would you suggest to someone who wishes to become a better leader?The featured guests on this episode are Brett Meinberg of GO Carwash, John Teddy of Take 5 Car Wash, Iona Kearney of Speedy Sparkle Car Wash, John Roush of Express Wash Concepts, and Chuck Mullen and Brandon Fredericks of Apple Growth Partners.

In this episode, I sit with Dr. Calvin Lawrence. Dr. Calvin is a motivational speaker and a leadership consultant. He has over 40 years of experience teaching and leading in the educational system at the high school and collegiate level. He also has a doctorate in educational leadership and administration. We discuss the successes and mistakes learned and earned in mentor and mentee relationships.  KEY TAKEAWAYS “Going across the room” – as a mentor, you shouldn't wait for people to come to you seeking mentorship. Proactively meet others and you'll see who could use mentoring or should be mentored based on potential  Be intentional with your leadership and mentoring role. Same goes for being a mentee  Having an ‘open door policy' is not enough. The door can stay open, but what good is it if no one walks in?  As a mentee, do not assume that leaders are too busy to mentor. If you're in a mentorship, leadership has accepted the role of mentoring and they are ready to support you  Mentorship is a two-way street. As a mentor, you may feel you are the only one ‘giving' in the relationship, but remember, you are also learning from your mentee  LEADERSHIP RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/calvinlawrence-edd (https://www.linkedin.com/in/calvinlawrence-edd)  http://www.calvinlawrencespeaks.net/ (calvinlawrencespeaks.net ) 

In this episode, I sit with co-authors Sean Georges and Dr. John Buford to talk about their recently published book titled, On mission: Your Journey to Authentic Leadership. The book serves as a resource for personal leadership development, crafted by Sean and John, two former marine officers with a combined 80 years of leadership experience in military, business, nonprofit, and education.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Authentic leadership is both authenticity in the human being who is influencing another person in the direction of a shared mission and authenticity in who they are and how they engage  Leadership does not work the way an org chart looks. It is relationship driven, mission focused, and can work in any direction within a hierarchy  If you want to gain commitment, influence others, and change ways of thinking, your people must know you care for them. We call that leading with love  LEADERSHIP RESOURCES https://www.amazon.com/Mission-Your-Journey-Authentic-Leadership/dp/B0B72B6MSQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2ULGTZ66JBGG2&keywords=on+mission+your+journey+to+authentic+leadership&qid=1662424481&sprefix=on+missiion%2Caps%2C82&sr=8-1 (On Mission: Your Journey to Authentic Leadership)

Jess Galica founded Reclaim Your Career to champion the success of women. She understands that women have the right to change their minds and seek new career paths. As an executive coach, Jess has helped hundreds of women with career reinvention.

Live from Vision Expo East: Adam Cmejla talks to Bethany about her perspective on why they both love the model of private practice in Optometry, why it's important to surround yourself with a good community as a business owner and OD, the importance of learning about leadership and business, and ways in which you can take action on the areas that we discuss.

In this episode, I sit with the Chief of Police for the Yardley Borough (Pennsylvania) police department, Joe Kelly. Prior to joining the Yardley police department, he spent 23 years with the New Jersey transit police retiring at the rank of a deputy.  Chief Kelly and I talk about his leadership journey, his approach, and what leadership looks like within the police organization. I think you might be surprised to hear some of the similar approaches and challenges that we come up against in the private sector. His leadership journey also includes how he survived a shooting incident last year.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Center all discussions, both positive and negative, around your organizations' core values, as they will be your guiding light  The job of a leader is to make people better. If your employee is operating at 65%, get them to 75%. Don't push unrealistic expectations  Care for your team as individuals, not just as co-workers  Understand that the difference between supervision and leadership takes time and experience to develop   LEADERSHIP RESOURCES  https://www.linkedin.com/in/joseph-kelly-iii-39677249?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BZYEy3LVjR2SMsuCCppGZjQ%3D%3D (linkedin.com/in/joseph-kelly-iii-39677249) 

In this episode, I sit with leadership expert and organizational psychologist, Dr. Ciela Hartanov, who was part of the founding team of the Google School for Leaders as well as Head of Next Practice, Innovation and Strategy at Google, where she developed projects designed to shape the future of leadership and work.   Dr. Ciela currently runs humcollective, a boutique strategy and innovation firm that helps companies, executives, and teams make sense of the forces, shaping the future and helps them prepare strategically. Her book, Reclaiming Sensitivity, will be out in 2023.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Leadership is an act, and not a personality. It's the act of wayfinding   Sensitive Leadership – the ability to sense and respond to emergent terrain in a more humane way; one that isn't always driven by data   Sensitive leaders are those who lead from behind, step forward when required, but are not the center of attention  Become great at asking effective questions. If you're not questioning then you're just stating, and then you only know what you know  Become a sense giver – share something that the rest of your team isn't always privy to and help them make sense of the information with the right context.

In this episode, I am in the middle of a Leaders Jam Session – a monthly group jam session that I host where participants get to share and learn from one another on how to tackle daily leadership challenges. Here, we're talking about best practices for how to plan and run a successful team meeting, whether it's a one or multi-day meeting.  Key Takeaways Today, there's even greater value in bringing everyone together  Set Goals and Objectives, for example, 1) build team bonds, 2) learn from each other, and 3) have fun  Get feedback on your agenda from your team, including your boss  Include just the right amount of content for the length of your meeting. Trying to cram too much into your meeting will make you run over on time, potentially wear people out, and have an opposite effect on what you're trying to accomplish  Guests – consider having them, but keep in mind, will the guest fit into the overall meeting objectives, or will this idea be disruptive  Team building activities – you want to have them, but you also need to know when to push back on ideas that your experience says ‘maybe we shouldn't do this'   LEADERSHIP RESOURCES  HBR article: Off-sites that work. https://hbr.org/2006/06/off-sites-that-work (https://hbr.org/2006/06/off-sites-that-work)

Recruitment is one of the biggest headaches in business, but it really doesn't need to be. We speak to CEO and co-founder of Resume Sieve, Michael Yinger, about how you can automate the recruitment process and get really clever with the algorithms.  Once you've got the right tools, as Michael says, you can “take the drudgery out of the recruitment process.” What's more, the very same thinking can help you manage people once you've hired them, and you can even avoid the hardest bits of the recruitment process altogether by hiring from within.  Michael has some very impressive corporate experience, way beyond the realm of recruitment, so he really understands what busy leaders need in order to recruit and manage effectively. You'll be amazed at the sophistication of the systems he has helped pioneer.  Episode Highlights:  How to automate the recruitment process Do we still need CVs? Different approaches to recruitment for small and large organisations How to fill a job from within instead of going outside The “post-COVID tsunami” in recruitment How technology can help you understand introverts How to deconstruct CVs so a system can read them for you How to use a system to take the drudgery out of finding candidates How to work around the biases that managers/recruiters might have Managing through coaching rather than managing with direction How to measure employee performance with similar measures to recruitment When there can be too many direct reports The importance of double confirmation in management feedback Useful Links:  Michael Yinger on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeyinger  People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/ People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/?trk=cws-cpw-coname-0-0 Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/ Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/ People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/ People Leaders Twitter - https://twitter.com/PeopleLeaders People Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We absolutely love it when people take a deep dive into the art of leadership. Susan Basterfield and Travis Marsh have certainly done that as co-authors of an inspiring new book called ‘Lead Together'. They've done some extensive research into many aspects of leadership, most notably the transformative power of ‘empathetic leadership', and why leadership climates fail. Susan and Travis have over 50 years' worth of coaching experience between them. They have an excellent track record of building collaborative cultures and helping organisations scale. The book is a really great read, and the conversation we have about it is packed full of brilliant hints & tips that any leader could benefit from. Episode highlights:  The 6 necessary roles of leaders Psychological safety What ‘empathetic leadership' really meansWhat you can do differently as a leader The importance of “checking in” at the start of a meetingHow to treat feedback so it is always constructive The ‘communications operator' explained The importance of spreading decision making Why leaders have to buy in to change, whatever the structure Top tips on how to influence How to build trust in an organisation When it's time for an unco-operative leader to go How to reconcile being ‘a visionary' with being an effective leader Why being a ‘good company' is not simply about growth Useful Links:  Buy the book on Susan and Travis' website: http://www.leadtogether.co Susan Basterfield on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-basterfield-ab8104/  Travis Marsh on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/travismarsh/  People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/ People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/?trk=cws-cpw-coname-0-0 Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/ Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/ People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/ People Leaders Twitter - https://twitter.com/PeopleLeaders People Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As a people leader it's useful to have a strong toolkit of good frameworks; shortcuts for certain ways of operating. We get a lot of feedback from people about the resources we share and how helpful they are, so we're sharing a new one with you: the Johari Window.  Episode Highlights: When was it developed, who developed it and what actually is the Johari Window?  Why was the Johari Window invented? The four quadrants of the Johari Window: Open Area, Blind Spot, Hidden Area and Unknown.  The open area refers to what you know about yourself that is also known by others in your team In a highly functioning team, you should try to be open, and to broaden and expand your ‘open area' How we've used quadrant one when working with teams The importance of being fully present and leveraging your strengths as a team Quadrant two: the blind spot What you might not know about yourself that others do Being open to feedback from other team members Quadrant three: the hidden area What others don't know about you and why it's important to share what challenges you have or what you're working on By knowing what challenges each member of your team (and yourself) has, you can better set people up for success Quadrant four: the unknown area Learning to open your eyes to the potential Do you have a talent for something that hasn't been tested yet?  Has your team's resilience been tested yet? Starting small as a people leader - do the first quadrant yourself Build your team up to be more open and give the Johari Window a go at your next team meeting Not only are you learning a new resource, but you're building your team's toolkit How the Johari Window can help your team develop and grow - giving them the ability to communicate their challenges clearly and concisely The two layers of the Johari Window for your team and your senior leadership team Useful Links:  People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/ People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/?trk=cws-cpw-coname-0-0 Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/ Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/ People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/ People Leaders Twitter - https://twitter.com/PeopleLeaders People Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crazy is the new busy! We've been working with leaders in business for well over twenty years and the common mantra to date has always been, “I'm busy, really busy,” or variations on that theme. Since the beginning of last year though, that mantra has changed, “Things are crazy, really crazy!” No points for guessing what's brought that about... A lot has changed in leadership in the past year and this has stirred things up a bit, but the fundamentals still remain the same. We thought this episoide would be a good time to explore some of the changes that have happened in leadership in the past year, and how you can adjust to those changes.  If you like what's in this episode, then our next round of Leadership Essentials [https://peopleleaders.com.au/leadership-essentials-program/?utm_source=op&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=le2104.6] , starting on April 15th, will be right up your alley. The training covers the fundamentals of leadership and the group coaching helps you integrate those fundamentals into the current circumstances you find yourself in. Applied learning if you like. Episode Highlights:  Leaders are more tech savvy  Effective leaders are becoming better listeners, better questioners and better at sharing Smart leaders are continuing with team development Trust has become more critical Clarifying expectations is more important than it used to be Switching off the ‘always-on culture' Same, same but different Useful Links:  People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/ People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/?trk=cws-cpw-coname-0-0 Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/ Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/ People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/ People Leaders Twitter - https://twitter.com/PeopleLeaders People Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bereavement is uncomfortable in any situation and the workplace especially. We had an incredibly moving conversation on the podcast with Zenith Virago, a ‘deathwalker', marriage celebrant, consultant, educator, speaker, facilitator and author. Most of us never think of how to deal with bereavement until it actually happens, but half an hour with Zenith is something we could all benefit from. She discussed with us how leaders and teams can cope when the team or a team member is touched by the death of a loved one.  Zenith has over 20 years of experience in the field of holistic health and bereavement. She presents and teaches around the world, and even tells us about a conversation she had with the Dalai Lama!  Listen up for some profound and empowering advice for how to respond when the worst happens...   In this episode you will learn: What not to say when someone is bereaved When actions are better than words What to do when someone is crying What a team leader needs to do to manage a team with a bereaved team member Zenith's meeting with the Dalai Lama How to understand the different stages of bereavement   Extra Resources:  https://www.zenithvirago.com/ https://www.naturaldeathcarecentre.org/ People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/  People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/?trk=cws-cpw-coname-0-0  People Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders  People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/  Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/  Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the People Leaders Podcast, we talk about useful strategies on how to build and develop confidence, tips on self-promoting and selling - without it feeling awkward, and different ways to improve communication.  We invited Bill Kurzeja,  the owner and founder of Professional Success South, a sales training and business consulting firm, to join the show. He talks to us about his expertise and passion in training and coaching, specialising in the basics of communication and how paying attention to detail helps build a strong foundation.  Episode Highlights: Bill's career began in the United States Army where he learned discipline and the importance of strict attention to detail.  Bill made his way up the ranks to sergeant where he learned about leadership and the importance of clear, effective communication in training.  He transitioned out of the military into retail and rose through the ranks of finance, sales manager to GM positions. Confidence can be earned when you gain the knowledge of a certain product, service, or type of skill set.   Tips on how to increase one's level of confidence.  The more you practice the better you get. When you're passionate about something it will show.  You won't have to think twice about what to say or how to say it, it will just come naturally.  Show honesty and be authentic. Other people will pick up on that and want to learn more.  Smaller goals are ideal because it's easier to achieve in a short amount of time. It also encourages you to move on to the next step quicker.  Focus on verbal and non-verbal communication. Your words are as important as your tone of voice, your body language and the inflection in your pitch.  Express empathy by understanding the pain points of others. Take some time to understand employee struggles and lead accordingly.  One of the most important pillars of communication is listening. When someone says something to you or asks you a question, you don't have to say something back right away just to fill the void.

On this leadership podcast, we've returned to some of our past guests to get their thoughts on what resources they recommend to help others become better leaders.

The end of the year is nipping on our heels so for our last offering this year we wanted to share a Reflection Session Template that we've been getting great feedback about from clients. Of course any time of the year is a great time to reflect but typically the end of the year, or the beginning of the following year, might be times where you go through this exercise, either by yourself or with your team. You can complete the template in about 10 minutes and, optionally, you could add on a discussion at the end where team members can share their reflections if they choose to. Before we dive in though, let's just reflect on why it's important to reflect ;-).  Quite simply, it helps you avoid repeating mistakes you've made in the past and continue repeating the successes you've had. It provides an opportunity to put a spotlight on what's worked and what hasn't. The process itself is simply a matter of answering some questions in a preformatted template (see below for a link to download this). What has been the highlight for me, professionally and personally? Of course if you have more than one, feel free to note them down. This is a time to celebrate!! What goals did I achieve? What contributed to this?  Goals plural. Again, don't limit yourself here. It might be a long-term goal, something that you set at the beginning of the year, or perhaps even a goal  you didn't know you had until the opportunity came up for it.  The second part of the question is important. Success always leaves clues so by answering this question you know what you can lean on to help with future goals. What life lesson have I learned? 2020 has been packed full of lessons for all of us! What did you learn about yourself, others or life in general this year? How happy/fulfilled do I feel? Surprisingly this is a question that many people forget to ask themselves. They might have a sense of it from time to time but rarely actually ask the question. We've recently gained qualifications as Certified Emotional Intelligence (EQ™) Facilitators and the criteria for happiness in the EQ world are: Optimism - How well you recover after a setback or an obstacle Self Regard - How you see yourself Self Actualisation - How well you live your life in alignment with your values Interpersonal Relationships - No explanation necessary there :-). Who am I grateful for? Family, friends and valued work colleagues will no doubt be at the top of the list but we encourage you to dig a little deeper and think who else might make the list. And for a bonus challenge, why not make a commitment to tell those that made your list why they made the list and what they mean to you! One word to describe who I want to be? If it takes more than one word then that's just fine. Between us we came up with; wise, valued and accepting/non-judgemental. What are my 3 priorities/goals/results for the coming year? Create two lists, one for yourself and one for your team. If you're doing this as a team exercise it would be great to compare the priorities to see if there is any crossover and/or how you can support each other. There you have it. A simple fun exercise to round off the kick or to kick off the year ahead. You can access the pdf of the Reflection Session Template here and, as usual, we'd love to hear your feedback on the template and how you go with putting it into practice.

It was such a privilege to speak to David Shar on the People Leaders Podcast – he is a truly inspirational man. David is a keynote speaker, trainer and consultant who helps organisations improve their leadership culture and avoid burnout. As leaders we are often focused on troubleshooting the poor performers rather than building the right leadership culture to enable everybody to thrive, so it was great to hear David's guidance on how to do it. Are business leaders looking at things the wrong way? Episode Highlights:    Now there is a culture of working from home, we're seeing that people are actually putting in more hours. This really should not be the case. It's time to start taking advantage of this change in the workplace!   There are three main aspects to ‘burnout'. Overload, cynicism and a lack of personal accomplishment. People often only focus on the first aspect, but it's important to understand the other two.   What is it that is baked into our work culture that is causing all this stress? The emphasis should not be on curing the stress afterwards – it should be on preventing it in the first place.   The positive change in our lifestyles in a Covid era should be captured. Write down and commit to the things you now believe to be important to your wellbeing and make sure you stick to them when times change after Covid.   You don't need to be a superhero every day. You just need to be you. Whatever your thing is, whether it's kindness or humor or empathy… bring that to the people that are connected to you.

In this podcast, we interviewed Kathleen Steffey, who started her recruiting firm ‘Naviga' in 2002. Kathleen has nineteen years of experience as a Chief Talent Officer. She joined us on the People Leaders Podcast to share some wisdom on how to go about recruiting talent to expand your team. Even if you are not in a position where you are hiring team members yet, you'd do well to listen in to get some tips that might well be useful if you find yourself on the other side of the recruitment table at some point.  Episode Highlights:  Kathleen became the CEO/Founder of Naviga Recruiting & Executive Search in 2002. She wants to provide an advisory platform to everyone who has difficulty fulfilling their short and long-term goals in the business sector. Not only does she search for outside talent for organisations, but she also ensures a career path is set for people who align with the firm's long-term goals. A candidate's behaviour in the recruitment process sets the benchmark for actual performance. As well as the skill set and track record, take notice of professionalism, punctuality, trustworthiness, authenticity and communication skills. It's the manager's responsibility to strike the right chord with suitable candidates when hiring.  “You are not your job and your job is not you.”  Your job should not identify you but the motivation and passion you display carves your pathway to success. Key questions that are part of Kathleen's framework for recruiting talent include:  Were you looking for a position at the time we approached you? (This determines the level of engagement a candidate has in the process) What are you looking to do specifically as the next move in your career? (Ask this before you give them details of the role, otherwise they might shape their answers to fit your specifications) What are your compensation expectations? (Not ‘How much are you making now?' This can save a lot of wasted time if their expectations are beyond yours) When can you start a new position?  (If you don't ask this question up front you could waste time if the candidate isn't available when you need them to be) Does your employer know that you are looking for a new role? (If the current employer does know then it could be a clue that all is not well with the current role) Important leadership qualities that Kathleen is looking for include: A track record of achievement (this is the best predictor of future performance) Innovation Communication skills The ability to inspire The ability to lead remote teams Kathleen gets to practice the skills she is looking for by leading her own team Fun is a predictor of success in high-performing teams Kathleen says have a workout or go for a run before an interview. Accept that it's ok to be nervous, it tells you that you care (but it's not necessary to share that you are nervous with the interviewers) Firms are always looking for new talent. Kathleen advises everyone to put themselves out there and behave proactively.  Kathleen also says there is nothing more important than being invested in your self development. It increases motivation and leads candidates to success.  Useful Links:  Kathleen's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathleensteffey  Naviga's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/naviga-business-services  Naviga's Website: https://www.navigarecruiting.com/   People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/  People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/?trk=cws-cpw-coname-0-0  People Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders  People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/  Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/  Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the People Leaders Podcast, we interview Tony Martignetti, Chief Inspiration Officer and Founder of Inspired Purpose Coaching. Tony is a leadership coach with a specialty in working with leaders and their teams to navigate through change and unlock their true potential.  He is known for supporting leaders by helping them find clarity so that they can unlock their full potential and lead effectively.  Throughout his career, he has gained some valuable lessons by working with high-performing leaders in many different organisations. Episode Highlights:  Tony has been coaching leaders for a long time and loves seeing people go through the transformation process.  Coaching is a powerful tool that can equip leaders to become aware of their inner capabilities.  Tony says that coaching benefits both the coach and the “coachee”. Seeing the change in people is fulfilling at both ends.  One of the biggest challenges faced by individuals and teams is the lack of security. People are afraid to speak up, especially in today's environment where most team meetings happen virtually.  Psychological Safety: An important variant to think about especially during this pandemic. People need to feel safe and part of that is the trust shown by leaders.  An element of caring is what builds an individual. Tony says that leaders should show a sense of compassion and care towards their team. Mental health is important and builds confidence in people.  As a manager, leaders must demonstrate love, kindness and concern towards their team. Teams thrive in this environment because they feel a sense of security.  Tony talks about Notion of Clarity - the “aha” moment that an individual experiences when they realise their True North.  He also talks about his process and how there is no single prescribed method to coaching. Tony does however focus on the paradox around expanding vision to narrow focus.  If you tap into and expand your field of vision, you look at the possibilities in front of you. You can then narrow your focus and execute your vision accordingly. Making changes is ultimately about choosing the right path to move forward.  Tony hosts a Virtual Campfire Podcasts which is a virtual area for people to share their transformation stories. His guests focus on flashpoints in their life that may have ignited at some point turning their experience into a gift to the world.  Tony also shares an emotional story about Anne Brennan, an iron woman who was at the top of her game and through personal life struggles ended up in a psych ward due to suicidal tendencies. In that darkest place she was able to rise up because she realised her gift was to help others raise their voices and make people aware of suicide.  One of the main points Tony has driven during this interview is about people's growth journeys. Are you climbing the right mountain? People start the climb, only to realise that you aren't on the right mountain after all. What do you do when you realise that?  Growth is not easy but it should be rewarding. If you aren't feeling that successful, or if you are feeling tired and angry, you can assume that's a clue to change. If you want to get to the top and you want the next chapter to start in your life, you need to change your path.  Tony stresses the importance of coaching and the reason why it's powerful. Not everyone has the support structure they need in life. Coaching provides a non-judgemental safe place for an individual to grow and succeed.  Useful Links: Tony's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonymartignett1/ Tony's Website: https://tonymartignetti.com/ Inspired Purpose Coaching's Website: https://www.inspiredpurposecoach.com/ People Leaders Quick Links: People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/ People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/ Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/ Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-leaders-of-the-future-a992744/ People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/ People Leaders Twitter - https://twitter.com/PeopleLeaders People Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this inspiring episode we interview Ryan Berman. Ryan has worked with some of the most influential companies in the world. He has spent the last decade and a half growing his own creative business, but in 2019, he actually fired himself from his last agency to start Courageous, a change consultancy that develops Courage Brands and trains companies how to operationalise courage through Courage Bootcamp. He is also the author of the best selling book Return on Courage, a business playbook for change.  In this episode, we get to know more about Ryan's definition of courage, his journey to understanding and deconstructing courage, some ideas on how leaders can build courage, our biology behind fear, and about his book ‘Return on Courage'. Episode Highlights: Ryan's definition of courage "I think the world doesn't care if you've worked on something for a thousand hours or two hours. They don't see that. They just see the final product and you're not there to defend your work." Ryan shared how he started with the concept of building and leading courage brands, and the beginning of his book, Return to Courage. "Knowledge plus faith plus action equals courage." Ryan further explains how these three, knowledge, faith, and action, need to be present all together for a decision to be a courageous move.  Some ideas on how leaders can build courage "What the experts basically suggest is that society is 95% freeze or flight, 5% fight. So this is not a business problem only. This is a people problem" In Ryan's quest of deconstructing courage, he basically delved into our biology and our central nervous system. He further discusses that we have never been trained to develop what he calls our central courage system.  According to Ryan's 'brain sherpa', Nicholas Alp, our brain is like a reverse onion with layers that are building on top of each other. Our sad, terrible experiences from when we are young up to present build up like layers, and our behavior has to go through all their layers or fear filters. Ryan comes up with strategies to reprogram the brain, develop the central courage system, and equips his clients with enough knowledge to lead and take action on the big things they want to do. Courage can't be taught... Ryan explains why this is a myth. He also gave examples from two different professions that showed how courage can be taught. The four attributes that Ryan values himself and for the clients he will work with, in the exact order, are Playfulness, Creativity, Courage, and Excellence. If anybody wants a Free Core Values Assessment, message Ryan at ryanberman@couragebrands.com.  "To live a fulfilling life, you actually have to not only know your values but live your values. And it starts with being able to identify them." Ryan, in his book, wrote the 'Courage Credo' and in it he said that courage is a team sport.. "Courage is a journey word." "I like the word believership. I think the sole goal of the believership is to make believers in all directions. I make believers out of your staff, make believers out of your board (if you're a public company), make believers out of consumers." Jan and Michelle quickly share their thoughts on leadership, that we are all leaders in some shape and form and that creates a high-performing team. Ryan tells us more what he is working on right now, including the new Courageous podcast. "Wherever change is needed is where courage is needed." "I think there's so many great stories of courage and there're so many people that are stuck. So if I can help people get unstuck even just a little bit then that's my purpose. And I feel like I'm on the right path."

Has your physical, emotional and mental well being fallen by the wayside during all this change and uncertainty?  As a people leader, you need to be your best self so you can lead others. Paying extra attention to your own well being is always a good idea. In this episode, we share our top seven strategies from our Leadership Essentials program that help you do just that.  Episode highlights:  An introduction to our Leadership Essentials Program. Six modules, with a new one released every two weeks, and group coaching taking place every second week.  Our physicality is about our capacity to expand and recover energy and is defined by the amount of energy we have. The importance of sleep and why it should be a priority  Between the hours of 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM, the brain and body is at its peak rejuvenation cycle. Set up your environment for a good night's sleep - make sure your room is around 17-18 degrees. Staying hydrated is one of the most important things you can do to keep your energy levels up. Jan's secret ‘prime tea' to help her stay hydrated and curb cravings for caffeine - a mixture of boiling water and CCF seeds (cumin, coriander and fennel). The ideal number of cups of water per day for women is 11. Nitric oxide - a secret weapon when we breathe. Why we all need to learn to breathe through our noses more, especially when we're sleeping. The importance of breathing exercises that we share in our Leadership Essentials Program. Mental health is all about how you focus your energy. The Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Toy Schwartz: They say that nothing so interferes with performance and engagement as the inability to concentrate on the task at hand. And in order to perform at our best, we must be able to sustain concentration and then move flexibly between broad and narrow, as well as internal and external focus.  Practice self-reflection to improve your energy focus - look inwards to learn more about yourself and what you need.  Is the way you talk to yourself disempowering you? The words we use create our environment and experiences.  Did you know we all have around 60 to 80,000 thoughts a day and most of them are negative? The three ways to become more aware of yourself through self-talk and how to improve your thoughts.  Why we all need to practice being silent to give our brain a rest from the noise. Purposeful silence is a real opportunity for you to top up your mental energy. The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise by Robert Cardinal Sarah, says: “Without the capacity for silence, man is incapable of hearing, loving, and understanding the people around him.” Look after your emotional wellbeing by looking after the quality of your energy.  Self-care isn't about being selfish. It looks different to different people, but unless you can fill your cup up first, you won't have a lot to give to others.  Is there something you can do to take care of your emotions today? Can you learn to say yes to yourself and your needs?  Inject some fun and creativity into your days - cook from scratch, tell a joke to your family at the dinner table, or use your skills to garden or paint. Join us for our Leadership Essentials Program, where we share these seven key strategies and more to improve your physical, emotional and mental well being as a people leader. Starting on 25th September 2020.
