Podcasts about leading positive change

Most of us believe we can make a difference in the world. That we can have an impact. What holds us back from acting on those beliefs are often the doubts. Doubts about our skills, our credentials, even our roles at work. Alex Budak studied the research and interviewed the changemakers, and he argues we can all be changemakers, no matter our resumes. That's what led him to write his book, Becoming a Changemaker: An Actionable, Inclusive Guide to Leading Positive Change at Any Level. I was inspired by Alex's book and our conversation. I walked away with a changemaker playbook on the mindset, leadership qualities, and behaviors to make it happen.

"Leading Positive Change in Our Lives, Work, and World"

In today's rapidly changing world,  according to our guest, Alex Budak, we have two choices:We can bury our heads in the sand and ignore the changesWe can use our agency to leverage, shape, and steer that changeIn this episode, we dive into the concept of taking the second path and becoming a changemaker, discussing everything from the importance of mindset and leadership to taking action and serving others.

Have you ever considered teaching for a university? Even if you don't take the path of Ph.D. student pursuing a tenure-track position, you can land adjunct roles after reaching a certain point in your professional career. Today's guest Alex Budak—who happens to be someone I went to high school and college with (and someone who gave me hope that I could succeed in the earliest days of self-employment!)—is taking us behind-the-scenes of pivoting into a professorship. Alex shares how he got his foot in the door at UC Berkeley; going from googling “how to write a syllabus” to improving and curating his curriculum; how much time teaching requires; his process for revising materials after class based on how they land among students; and most of all, the “magic alchemy” rewards of teaching in a university setting even when the pay is lower than other opportunities. More About Alex: Alex Budak is a UC Berkeley faculty member, social entrepreneur, author, and speaker. At UC Berkeley, Alex teaches his wildly-popular course “Becoming a Changemaker,” directs the Berkeley Haas Global Access Program, and teaches in Berkeley Executive Education programs. Alex co-founded StartSomeGood in 2011, which has helped over 1,200 changemakers in over 50 countries raise millions of dollars to launch and scale new change initiatives. His book, Becoming a Changemaker: An Actionable, Inclusive Guide to Leading Positive Change at Any Level, has been endorsed by Nobel Prize winners, Olympic athletes, and most meaningful of all—his students. He is a graduate of UCLA and Georgetown University.

Alex breaks it down for us and explains that a changemaker is someone who takes intentional action to create positive change in the world. The kind of person who's not afraid to shake things up and make a difference. If you're thinking that its too daunting or unattainable, think again! Alex emphasizes that anyone can become a change maker, regardless of their background or circumstances. All it takes is a clear vision, a willingness to take risks, and the ability to collaborate with others. We all know that change can be uncomfortable and uncertain, but as Alex points out, it's necessary for growth and progress. Let's be real, we could all use a little growth and progress in our lives! So take a page from Alex's book and start taking smart risks that are informed and strategic. Success means different things to different people, but for Alex, it's all about making a positive impact in the world. He uses the mantra "progress, not perfection" to remind himself to show up as his best self, an attitude we think everyone could benefit from.

Diversity - hot topic or over used word? Whatever your view on this, so many of us are guilty of hiring who we know. It's hard to disagree with Lee when he says we all need to build more diverse networks.  Lee Higgins, Founder of Diverse Talent Networks, shares with us why we should think ‘culture add' instead of ‘culture fit' and why thinking value aligned will allow for more diversity of thought - a topic we are very passionate about at the Amplified Group.Here's the key takeaways and book recommendation:Key takeaways·        Widen your circle and diversify your network·        Be proactive so when it is hiring time you are starting with a more diverse pool of talent·        Think about culture add – even if hiring through traditional means. Who's adding to that culture?·        Recognise that you have more influence than you think We like Lee's comment, “Make change happen for good” with actions instead of window dressing.Find out more about Diverse Talent Networkshttps://www.diversetalentnetworks.com/Follow them on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/diverse-talent-networks/Book Recommendation: Alex Budak - Becoming a ChangemakerBecoming a Changemaker: An Actionable, Inclusive Guide to Leading Positive Change at Any Level (Audio Download): Alex Budak, Alex Budak, Balance: Amazon.co.uk: BooksWe would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/

Alex Budak is a social entrepreneur, author, and faculty member at UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. His new book is called Becoming a Changemaker: An Actionable, Inclusive Guide to Leading Positive Change at Any Level, and is based on the transformative course (of the same name) Alex created and teaches. Previously, Alex co-founded the social impact platform StartSomeGood, ran Sweden's leading social innovation incubator, Reach for Change, and worked at Change.org.  Alex teaches, speaks, consults, and advises organizations around the world, with the mission of helping people from all walks of life become changemakers. In this episode we discuss: The magic that sparks movements What elephants can teach us about daunting goals Why giving yourself permission is the first step to change Key Takeaways: Alex tells his Changemaking students that they don't need to know yet the change they want to make, they just need to believe that change is possible. This is an important message. The truth is, throughout our lives each of us will gravitate toward changes someone else has already started. The biggest challenges our world faces—like climate change and inequality—will take lifetimes to fix. These challenges require countless people to step into the same arena to help out, support each other, provide different perspectives, and solve from different angles. You do not need to be the originator of a change idea to have a significant impact. What you need is the belief that change is possible and the bravery to step into the arena to create a better future. Change can be a mixed bag. Sometimes change is good, and sometimes it's not. What change always does though, regardless of impact, is it disrupts. It pushes us out of our comfort zone. If change were to never happen, we'd all live our lives mindlessly on autopilot. The blessing of change is that it can wake us up, and with eyes wide open we can look under the hood of the status quo and decide if we like what we see. By doing this, change creates the opportunity for something better. There's a lot of power in reframing failure. The fear of failure can mean not trying and, in many situations, not trying is the worst failure of all. While many things in life are out of our control, trying is one of the few things that is in your control. Don't close the door on your dreams because you're afraid someone else might close the door on you. Give yourself permission to try. You might just discover what's possible is way bigger than you ever imagined.

We know change happens. What about making change happen? Alex Budak tells Kevin change is complex and this is where we get stuck. A courageous leader has the mindset to make positive changes and acts. (Mindset + Leadership) x Action = IMPACT. We must give ourselves permission to believe in the change and be the change. Key Points Alex Budak shares his definition of a changemaker.  He shares the changemaker journey: changemaker mindset, changemaker leadership, and changemaker action.  He talks about confidence without attitude – both and thinking.

In 2023, we're going all in on making a case for optimism. Optimism is the promise that we have agency, and it's our own belief that we can exercise that agency in any given moment to create better circumstances for ourselves, better solutions to our most intractable problems, better lives for the generations who will follow us. Sometimes, optimism demands change.

Conventional wisdom says that emotions have no place in business or leadership. Reiner Lomb will tell you that is a fallacy.You must master seven critical emotions to be an effective and empowering leader who creates positive change.Whether you are in a formal leadership role or are a rising leader, entrepreneur, or changemaker driven by a desire to use your voice to create change, in Reiner Lomb's groundbreaking new book Aspire: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change, No Matter Where You Are, you will discover how to positively influence key stakeholders, build trust, lead with optimism, ride the waves of negative emotions, mobilize people to take action, and choose resiliency in the face of setbacks.Says Lomb: “The essence of leadership is creating a vision of an aspirational new future and then influencing people to change their behavior to make that vision a reality. Your inspiration to create aspirational change may come from your dissatisfaction with the status quo, joyful anticipation of an aspirational new future, or a new insight. To create such a vision and bring it into reality requires an emotional shift from hopelessness to optimism and inspiration, which then can mobilize any group - from dozens to millions.”Reiner saw this firsthand having grown up just a few miles from the border between East and West Germany, watching a small group of committed leaders peacefully bring down the Berlin Wall by mobilizing millions of people. This is one of many incidences or case studies he shares in Aspire to show the power of emotional IQ. The seven critical emotions are:● Empathy – The Gate To Caring● Compassion - The Commitment To Serving● Interest – The Drive To Understanding● Optimism – The Lens For Visioning● Inspiration – The Energy For Mobilizing● Trust – The Fuel For Collaborating● Positivity – Being ResilientUnderstanding and cultivating these emotions within yourself and others are essential to change your own behavior and influence behavioral change in others. In the book, Reiner shows readers the importance of each of the 7 emotions, best practices to develop these emotions in yourself and others, and then provides practical recommendations for how to do this work as a leader with the people you serve.

In this Aging GreatFuLLy power hour we welcome the invitation to bring our visions to reality and tap into our leadership abilities to create the future we aspire! With special guest, Reiner Lomb, Author of ASPIRE: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change, No Matter Where You Are, we discover that each of us has special abilities and talents to inch us towards our aspirations and we're not checking our emotions at the door! Reiner is Founder of BoomerangCoach, an executive coaching firm specializing in leadership and career development, innovation and transformational change whose mission is to mobilize and develop leaders to create a more sustainable future for all. Reiner reminds us that we all have the capacity to lead towards positive change and shares how this is an important contributor to achieving what we want most out of life. Reiner believes emotions play a key role in creating change and shares a variety of ways the seven critical emotions help towards leadership roles as well as achieving goals, dreams and aspirations. It's a must-listen hour as we begin with asking listeners what they would do if a Genie magically showed up in their life! But if you couldn't answer that then, by the end of the hour, you'll have plenty of inspirational ideas to get you motivated towards your aspirations. We talk about changes as we grow older, feeling like we're no longer worthy or capable of change and even how we may feel challenged to define our dreams over and through the years. But there's a few key phrases in this episode that speak to everyone, “No Matter Where You Are” and “Resilience”. In this, we are reminded that while we may not know the answers or feel challenged to identify them, Aging Rebels always find a way. And that's another message in this episode, as Lomb feels “Your inspiration to create inspirational change may come from your dissatisfaction from the status quo, joyful anticipation of an aspirational new future, or a new insight. To create such a vision and bring it into reality requires an emotional shift from hopelessness to optimism and inspiration, which then can mobilize any group – from dozens to millions.” We spotlight purpose and passion as an important component throughout life and certainly as we grow older. And we acknowledge even when we may not have a voice like we once did, we may still be able to be heard through our emotional connections, delivered heart to heart.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to the CEO, Executive Coach and Author of https://reinerlomb.com/ (BoomerangCoach), https://www.linkedin.com/in/reinerlomb/ (Reiner Lomb). BoomerangCoach focuses on leadership development, innovation, and transformational change in organizations, companies, and from start-ups to big corporations. They help leaders grow, increase their impact, articulate a future, and guide them in pursuing it. Reiner is a veteran in his field, with two decades of working and developing start-ups into multi-dollar companies. He teaches leaders to break the wall of learning and take them to the next level of development in their leadership.  When talking about trends in leadership, he mentioned that emotional-based leadership competencies are more critical than ever. However, since this skill is not taught in school, people have to be willing to learn in the emotional space, and when they do, it's an excellent investment. Leaders immersing in this type of learning will allow them to move forward from emotions of the past and pivot them to be visionary leaders. Key points from this episode: What does a Boomerang Coach do? What kind of customers does BoomerangCoach attract? What does leadership coaching look like? Difference between therapy and executive coaching Trends in leadership How does one become a leader? How to get over cynicism?

Teacher. Parent. Business Leader. Elected Official. Changemaker. Anyone who wants to make a difference. You must master seven critical emotions to be an effective and empowering leader who creates positive change. Whether you are in a formal leadership role or are a rising leader, entrepreneur, or changemaker driven by a desire to use your voice to create change, in Reiner Lomb's groundbreaking new book Aspire: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change, No Matter Where You Are, you will discover how to positively influence key stakeholders, build trust, lead with optimism, ride the waves of negative emotions, mobilize people to take action, and choose resiliency in the face of setbacks. Says Lomb: “The essence of leadership is creating a vision of an aspirational new future and then influencing people to change their behavior to make that vision a reality. Your inspiration to create aspirational change may come from your dissatisfaction with the status quo, joyful anticipation of an aspirational new future, or a new insight. To create such a vision and bring it into reality requires an emotional shift from hopelessness to optimism and inspiration, which then can mobilize any group - from dozens to millions.” Reiner saw this firsthand having grown up just a few miles from the border between East and West Germany, watching a small group of committed leaders peacefully bring down the Berlin Wall by mobilizing millions of people. This is one of many incidences or case studies he shares in Aspire to show the power of emotional IQ. The seven critical emotions are: ● Empathy – The Gate To Caring ● Compassion - The Commitment To Serving ● Interest – The Drive To Understanding ● Optimism – The Lens For Visioning ● Inspiration – The Energy For Mobilizing ● Trust – The Fuel For Collaborating ● Positivity – Being Resilient

Are you a changemaker? The call to action on this episode of What the Fundraising is rooted in the notion that we can all be leaders of the change we seek. Alex Budak, a faculty member at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business, believes leadership is ripe for redefinition – and has data to prove it! He walks us through how the human tendency to maintain the status quo impacts social change and why the greatest CEOs tend to balance confidence with a lot of humility. We're also hearing all about Alex's new book, "Becoming a Changemaker: An Actionable, Inclusive Guide to Leading Positive Change at Any Level," as well as the quantitative work behind his “Changemaker Index.” A teacher, speaker, and consultant, Alex's primary mission is to help empower people from all walks of life to become changemakers – activists leading the charge in whatever their realm. He has given talks on leadership, entrepreneurship, and changemaking worldwide, from Cambodia to Ukraine – and has also advised at the White House and UN agencies.    You'll come away from this episode with a new perspective on our culture's tendency to glorify social entrepreneurs and leaders in general, a clear understanding of Alex's “Three Pillars of Changemaking” and a fresh resolve to stand tall and lean into fear. We break down what failure really looks like and exercises for getting acclimated – which we all need to do. Why? Because there's lots of work to be done, whether you're a fundraiser in the nonprofit sector or a community member who knows things can be better. “There's so much leadership to go around if we're willing to seize those leadership moments,” says Alex. “And that's my call to action: For all of us to see those moments around us and step into them.” See all the show notes at malloryerickson.com/podcast.  Follow along on Instagram at @whatthefundraising_ Connect with Mallory on LinkedIn Many thanks to our sponsor Cosmic, the social impact creativity agency that delivers compelling stories, builds brand awareness, and inspires action.

Introduction: Reiner Lomb is the founder of BoomerangCoach, an executive coaching firm specialising in leadership and career development, innovation & transformational change. Before becoming a coach, Reiner had a 30+ year career in technology, started and developed software businesses and led leadership development. Bernard is the author of the book APIRE: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change. No Matter Where You Are.  Podcast Episode Summary: Much has been written about Leadership Effectives and the behaviours needed to succeed. What is often missing is the discourse on emotions and how they drive leadership behaviours. Reiner shares through his experience & stories the enormous potential for positive change which he believes is achieved by understanding 7 essential emotions and how they marry with 7 essential leadership behaviours.    Points raised across the podcast conversation:  Reiner is the product of a multi-cultural household and identifies as a next generation post war person.  He grew up in the Western part of a divided Germany through the cold war and felt the heartache over his country's role in the Holocaust and World War II.  He believes the large challenges we face in the world, climate change, social, economic, political can and need to be figured out collaboratively  Reiner has been living in the USA for over 30 years and believes his adopted country is divided by emotions such as hatred, fear, resentment with mass shootings and a big political divide.  Passion & Purpose motivated Reiner to move into the realm of Leadership Development. He always loved learning for himself and gets great satisfaction seeing others grow.  His mission today is to mobilise leaders to help create a sustainable future for all.  Aspire is one of the Leadership Development models that Reiner employs with his clients  The name of his company Boomerang was a metaphor that captured his wish for people to return to their true passion and purpose  He formulated a neat framework, a pyramid of 7 essential Leadership behaviours that people will readily recognise, behaviours that are driven by 7 essential emotions.  Understanding these 7 emotions in a granular way can help further a Leaders effectiveness.  Emotions are a key domain of learning that are the least understood and developed.  We as humans are always in a mix of emotions and by becoming familiar with our internal states we can self-regulate for the kinds of conversations and actions we want to have in the world.  Emotions then are gateways to effective conversations and equally barriers to the same conversations if held in an emotional field that does not serve.  Empathy, Compassion, and Interest are the foundational emotions that drive Care, Serving and Understanding From this foundational platform a Leader can vision, understanding the needs of his stakeholders and people. To vision a leader needs to be optimistic about the future and the kind of future he wishes to create.  Emotions like resentment, resignation keep us mentally and energetically stuck in the past and do not serve when we are trying to Lead.  Inspiration on the other hand mobilizes people to co-ordinate action and achieve realisable visions.  To co-create a future in the world we live requires collaboration and that is fuelled by the emotion of trust.  Projects and plans to proceed no matter how well co-ordinated meet with obstacles and adversity and to survive both requires resilience. Resilience is supported by the emotion of positivity.  Negativity is counterproductive to resilience. The more negative the leader, the environment, and the culture the less resilience is available to the organisation  Positivity is a palette of emotions including optimism, interest, inspiration, joy, awe, gratitude, and hopefulness.  Leaders are well versed in the Leadership competencies required to lead what is missing is the discourse on emotions.  Reiner shares a powerful story from his client relations where he helped a client recognise through his storytelling that he was living in a mood of resignation. Reiner was able to share the impact of living in resignation. He also shared that there is not a straight line between resignation and optimism, the gateway is acceptance.  To become versed in emotional literacy takes time, patience, and practice. Reiner suggests choosing one of the 7 emotions to start, maybe one that could have the biggest impact to a person's leadership. As a coach it is important to put language to what a person is experiencing. Similarly, a coach needs to employ interest, empathy, and silence to allow what needs to be spoken.  Part of the learning of emotions involves understanding the distinctions between each. The more granular the understanding and appreciation for the difference between each emotion the greater the possibility for appropriate action. Understanding is often thwarted around a team table by the need to have the right answer and quickest response born out of our educative system.  In organisational life we often do not get rewarded for asking the right questions or for spending the time to have a real and generative conversation between peers on teams.  We need to move from the predominant focus of “me” or self-interest to “we”  We must cultivate a mindset of “we” on teams  To do so we need to appreciate that everyone is responsible for the success of the team, its climate and what is possible  The team leader can do much to encourage dialogue, to mine the aspirations of each member of the team and to make sure they align with the team's vision  Trust is very complex emotion. We must understand what we mean by trust. What dimension of trust, sincerity, care, reliability, competence is being affected on the team and with & between whom?  A Leader plays a large role in facilitating trust between team members especially in circumstances where teams are short lived, are remote or in a hybrid configuration.  I tried to share an example of a client who in a team meeting expressed guilt and was met with another colleague who expressed anxiety to get on with the work at hand. I clumsily said “Grief” to Reiner instead of Guilt. My apologies  The learning that Reiner shared, however, to decode the emotion of grief in this instance remains.  A formula if you will, is to attend to the emotion, allow it to be heard with the attendant thoughts etc. This can sometimes be enough. Choose the desired emotion to move towards. This may or may not be possible. Sometimes a better strategy might be to simply to attend to emotion expressed and to help the client process that same emotion.  What is not acceptable is to skip the emotional discourse.  Grief for example is an emotion that spells loss, sadness for a person or situation lost. For Reiner it calls for resilience to be able to balance the need to continue living, serving, be in relation with others and managing the emotion of grief. In Reiner's case he sourced positive emotions  Do not confuse sourcing or resourcing positive emotions like joy, interest, hope etc for toxic positivity where you supress negative emotions  If negative emotions surface, allow them, try to hear the story that accompanies the emotion and try and identify the source and corresponding need.  Reiner shares a story from his work that explores his use of his model Aspire and how he supports leaders become familiar and fluent with the 7 emotions used with the 7 essential leadership competencies.  Reiner's favourite leadership lesson extols the virtue of care. He encourages listeners to really identify their “why” a passion that will fuel purpose.  Pick what you care about and develop your leadership to support that passion.  Thank you

Reiner Lomb is the Founder of BoomerangCoach, an executive coaching firm specializing in leadership and career development, innovation, and transformational change. Reiner's mission is to mobilize and develop leaders to create a more sustainable and positive future for all.  Before becoming an executive coach, Reiner had a 30-plus year career in technology, started and developed software businesses, and led leadership development. Reiner's new book is ASPIRE: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change, No Matter Where You Are. Highlights Reiner Lomb explains how his upbringing on a farm in Germany led him eventually to do the work with emotions he's doing now. Leaders are often well developed intellectually but not emotionally. He explains how, when he first introduced the concept 15 years ago, he had to approach the topic of emotions very carefully. Reiner tells how he developed trust with teams so they would accept the idea of working on emotions. Family is the first team we get to work with. Reiner recounts that he went back to school to learn more about psychology and brain science. When you become aware of where your emotions began, you can decide to change your emotional expression. People often believe that emotions happen automatically and that they can't change, which is not true. We talk about various aspects of empathy and how important it is in order to understand where people are coming from. Assume good intentions. Most people have good intentions, but they may come from a different value framework than you. Once Reiner assesses a person's emotional state through observation, he can decide which direction to go in with them. Reiner talks about the seven emotions he mentions in his book. A foundation of leadership is developing interest in the people you're leading and to help them develop a better vision of the future. Inspiration is one of the most powerful leadership tools.
