Why do we so often run into situations where either we feel treated unfairly or someone else feels as though they've been treated unfairly? In this episode of ICommunicate, MindsetGo Founder and President Mark Altman discusses how to navigate “fairness” in all aspects – at home, in our personal lives and at work. Why do “unfair” situations arise in the first place? Can we get ahead of them? How can we rewire our mindset to overcome unfair situations? Segment 1: At work and in life, how do we cope with the feeling of losing control? How do we react when we feel as though we're being treated unfairly? How can we manage when someone feels as though they are being treated unfairly? Are there steps we can take to prevent feelings of unfairness from festering and boiling over? Why do we feel as though we have to apologize for our emotions? Segment 2: How can we influence outcomes by reframing information and situations? What's the deal with luck – is it necessary? Can we create our own luck? What leads to disappointment in life and in business? Can we separate our mindset from entitlement? Segment 3: Why do we perceive situations as unfair? How can we get past a negative mindset when it comes to fairness? Who do you go to when you want to vent about fairness or a frustrating situation? What role is that person playing?

In this episode of ICommunicate, MindsetGo President and Founder, Mark Altman, helps viewers navigate through the jungle that is conversation intelligence. Learn the art of setting expectations, creating channels to receive and deliver meaningful feedback, and responding to excuses or criticism. Segment 1: Assertiveness is a critical aspect of leadership communication when engaging with and influencing peers or direct reports. Learn the downside when leaders don't take the time to diagnose problems correctly the first time? When your team falls short of expectations, what prevents you from approaching the issue from a different angle? How can we eliminate hesitation and fear, so we stop putting off difficult, but crucial conversations? Segment 2: Listening is constantly praised as a critical aspect in communication, yet we often only open our ears to what we want to hear. What's the difference between listening to understand and listening to respond, and how can that impact our sphere of influence? What are the three necessary ingredients for productive, effective conversations? Segment 3: Without taking the precaution to ensure that you will have control over the flow of a conversation, the discussion could easily get derailed and end up becoming unproductive. How can we direct the flow of feedback in order to prevent ourselves from wasting time talking about things that needlessly extend conversations? Why is it essential to approach these conversations using empathy as a tool of influence? Segment 4: Leaders are put to the test when a conversation doesn't go as planned based on their ability to respond and not react or get triggered. How should we respond to employees when they make excuses or deflect conversations?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman is joined by Ben Brearley, a Leadership Coach, Trainer, and Consultant with over 15 years of leadership experience. They discuss what it means to be a thoughtful leader, in addition to the challenges that may impede long lasting influence and change. Segment 1: When can a leader be certain that they've made a lasting, positive impact on the person that they're coaching? Why is it so essential that coaches avoid using the righting reflex when problem solving with a colleague? Segment 2: It's one thing to consider ourselves a thoughtful leader, but another to embody what that actually means. What does it mean to be a thoughtful leader? What does a “thoughtful” conversation look like between a leader and their team, and how can it lead to necessary reform in company culture? Segment 3: There's a huge difference between “communicating” and “communicating with intent” that not all leaders recognize. Where does the motivation to continue learning come from, and how do we fuel other people? What are some leadership tools that we may be overlooking? Segment 4: It's inevitable that leaders will find themselves in positions that no toolkit can fully prepare them for. In those moments, how can we adapt and find new solutions on our own? What is the tall poppy syndrome, and how can it affect the morale and performance of your team?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman is joined by fellow MindsetGo trainer Joseph Lyman to discuss what it means to read people's hearts and how understanding a person's intentions and motivators sets a leader up to be in a better position to support and develop their growth. Segment 1: We all wish we could read somebody's mind to dissect what their exact intentions are, but would the consequences be too much to bear? What's the downside to quick-fix solutions regarding understanding somebody's intentions, and how can it impact our confidence? What viable options do we have in a conversation that will allow us to uncover somebody's motives in a non- threatening way? Segment 2: To be an effective leader and communicator, we have to distinguish when somebody is upset with us, personally, or if it's their own circumstances. What ingredients of emotional intelligence do we need to consider before offering our advice or opinions to somebody in distress? Do emotions belong in the workplace? If so, why and when are they a valuable tool for communication. Segment 3: Are you aware of your behaviors that unintentionally impact your colleagues and peers negatively? If not, how can we identify those habits and gain a new awareness around how we subconsciously influence people? Segment 4: Oftentimes, the most important factors within a workplace are things that can't be measured with an exact science, such as employee engagement and wellbeing. What aspects of an organization should be most important to us as leaders, and how can we prioritize those components within our team culture? What's the value of collaborating on solutions, and why is it so important to be face-to-face with our colleagues when doing so?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman, Founder of MindsetGo, is joined by Marlyn Feliciano, and they discuss how to shape team culture to promote vulnerability and collaboration without oversharing or crossing personal boundaries and how to hold people accountable in a constructive way, as opposed to making them feel guilty and embarrassed for their mistake? Segment 1: We're more than leaders, we're role models -- we should expect them to take our behavior to heart and hold us to our world. With that in mind, how can we shape our team culture to promote vulnerability and collaboration without oversharing or crossing personal boundaries? How can we turn around our workplace culture when people feel uncomfortable in that environment? Segment 2: When we're not getting a productive response out of a coworker, a member of our team, or somebody that we're trying to network with, the problem becomes managing our emotions and adapting to their preferred method of communication. How can we hold people accountable in a constructive way, as opposed to making them feel guilty and embarrassed for their mistake? Segment 3: Holding people accountable can be like walking around glass, given how difficult it is to avoid coming off as stern or demeaning. What strategies around mindset can we employ that will make delivering and receiving feedback feel as though it's coming from a place of empathy? How can we be assertive by leading with curiosity, as opposed to leading with emotions? Segment 4: An underrated, but essential, habit of an effective leader is to employ proper selfcare -- we can't expect other people to trust us until we first trust ourselves. How can we make ourselves aware of the value we add towards our team and the work we do? How can we create reasonable expectations for ourselves that promote self growth and empowerment?
When you are criticized, how does that feedback affect your thought process and your choice of response? In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman, Founder of MindsetGo, discusses the Will Smith Oscar incident and how to respond before we react to effectively manage our emotions and model the right behaviors. Segment 1: One of the most difficult skills to develop is responding rather than reacting. What are some key awareness's whenever we feel overwhelmed with our emotions? How can we develop the patience to think before we speak, even when we feel especially compelled to lash out? Segment 2: Far too often, we make blanket-statement value judgements, which simply aren't true, before realizing how those remarks may be a trigger for people. What should we be asking ourselves before offering a potentially harmful opinion? What strategies can we utilize to manage our emotions? Segment 3: When we're being criticized by someone, our first instinct in many cases is to defend or explain ourselves -- but is that the best course of action? What other strategies can we rely on in the heat of the moment so that we manage discourse in an acceptable and productive way? How can we reel ourselves in when we feel that our emotions are getting the best of us? Segment 4: Have you ever considered how tied to your goals you are? Are you able to incentivize and motivate yourself, or are you driven by consequences? What are the setbacks of a consequence-driven mindset, and how does that affect the relationship between leaders and their teams? How can value judgements impact our relationships and the way we communicate with people?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman, Founder of MindsetGo, discusses three level of self-awareness around setting and managing boundaries, the importance of avoiding the righting reflex, and creating rules of engagement for your team and company culture. Segment 1: The most difficult part of preventing somebody from crossing a boundary is understanding the root cause of why they did so. How do we identify, for ourselves and for others, when a boundary is being crossed? What are the three levels of self-awareness and how do we apply them when we suspect that a boundary has been crossed? Segment 2: When approaching conversations around crossing boundaries, we get so hung up on potential negative outcomes, that we feel there's no chance the conversation can be productive. Why should we still allow ourselves the opportunity to have these discussions, even if we think they're futile? How can we understand the intent behind somebody's decision to cross a boundary? Segment 3: Throughout our lives, authority figures have told us what we're doing wrong and why it's wrong -- far too often, there's no room for dialogue. How can we, as effective and inspiring leaders, allow the floor to our employees in a way that is productive for both parties? What's the difference between an assessment and an assertion, and how can they impact your ability to set the tone for a conversation? Segment 4: When somebody has crossed a boundary, we often see it as a one-sided problem. In fact, there are ways to turn the conversation so that both parties walk away satisfied with a fresh, valuable understanding of the issue. What is A-Prep, and how can it be an extremely valuable tool in garnering understanding from the person you're talking to? Why are we so afraid to ask other people what they want and need from us?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman, Founder of MindsetGo, is joined by Susan MacConnell, a LinkedIn lead generation strategist and creator of The Client Connectorᵗᵐ method. Susan is also the president of Diversified Sales Solutions, which compliments her sales career that spans over 20 years. They discuss strategies to leverage LinkedIn to make a good first impression and simple content strategy ideas on how to secure meaningful connections. Segment 1: Being self-enterprising through LinkedIn or other social media outlets is something we know we should be doing, but it often feels like a daunting task. What kind of first impression should we be setting for potential connections? What strategies can we use so that we're getting the most out of LinkedIn and the connections we're making? Segment 2: We're often under the impression that engaging over messaging takes an incredible amount of skill -- but all it really takes are a few engaging questions. What strategy should we be entering conversations with over LinkedIn messages that will engage our connections? At what point during the conversation have we earned the right to sell our product or service? Segment 3: With LinkedIn, we only have one opportunity to make or break a potential connection -- so we better make sure we're making the best first impression that we can. How can we gauge what the best approach is for a potential connection based on their profile and our toolkit? What parts of our LinkedIn profile should we prioritize when editing our page? Segment 4: We should be viewing our LinkedIn as a reflection of ourselves and our assets, creating a sales pitch all in one spot. How should we organize our profile to effectively build credibility and advertise our skill set in an engaging and seamless way? How can we create opportunities for interaction that don't feel agenda-driven?

When leaders go into problem-solve mode with quick-fix solutions, they often end up solving the wrong problem. In this episode of ICommunicate, Founder of MindsetGo, Mark Altman, addresses how leaders can stop enabling and start empowering their teams to develop essential problem solving skills. Segment 1: When we're upset about a circumstance that we feel is out of our control, the last thing we want to hear from somebody is how our misfortune is actually an unrealized advantage. However, that might just be the case. How can we adjust to an advantage mindset? How can we grow and truly see the benefit of mistakes? Segment 2: What's the three-step formula to giving feedback that will empower and motivate your employees? What do our past experiences and downfalls have to do with how we support our team while they overcome their own problems? Segment 3: Far too often, we find ourselves blaming other people or circumstances for our own problems. How can a little self-reflection open our eyes to what's really going on when we get upset over something? How can you empathize with somebody without agreeing with them, and how can that be a powerful tool of influence? Segment 4: One of the biggest compliments you can receive as a leader is when a team member feels comfortable sharing a grievance with you. What practices can we adopt to get to that point with our teams? How can we dismantle the illusion of a workplace hierarchy within an employee so that they feel comfortable being vulnerable with their leaders?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Founder of MindsetGo, Mark Altman, discusses why leaders waste so much time having repeat performance conversations and how to problem solve while developing a team of critical thinkers. Listen and learn how to motivate people to change habits through cooperation and not compliance. Segment 1: When pushing for change in company culture, it's essential that we're able to influence other people by helping them recognize the need for change. How do we get cooperation from our team instead of just compliance, and why is it important to distinguish between the two? How can we inspire our team to want change, as opposed to it feeling forced upon them? Segment 2: The standard power dynamic in any workplace is: boss tells employee what to do, employee follows through -- but is that the optimal form of leadership? How do we shift the workplace culture in a way that promotes psychological safety and empowers our teams to speak up? What does it mean to be victimized, and why is it becoming an increasingly relevant topic? Segment 3: A key attribute that optimal leaders should strive for is the ability to empower employees enough to where they feel comfortable problem solving on their own. How can we frame feedback with our teams in a way that gives them the room to think critically? How can “asking for permission to help” in a situation give your employees the fuel that they need to advocate for themselves? Segment 4: What leaders often fail to recognize is that when their employees ask them for help, it's because they're striving for perfection. How do we construct conversations with employees to instill confidence as well as empowerment in them? How should we react to employees when they deflect a request of ours with excuses?
Do you use empathy as a tool to retain employees? In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman explains how utilizing empathy can be an essential factor to strengthening relationships and reversing “Great Resignation” trends. Segment 1: Not enough people take the time to reflect on how emotional intelligence, and especially empathy, can improve their abilities to sustain relationships and think critically, among other skills. What are the benefits to leading with empathy, and how can we prove that it's working? Segment 2: When a team member doesn't meet a leader's expectations, there's often a reason for doing so beyond that they're just out to annoy you. Are you using empathy as a tool of influence, or a means to motivate people to act differently? Segment 3: In the heat of a conflict, how can we be self-aware enough to ask questions rather than accuse and deflect? What is “conversation stacking” and how can this technique bring out authentic empathy within us as well as lead to solutions? Segment 4: Too often, we allow ourselves to forget that in order to properly take care of others, we must first take care of ourselves. What are the benefits to empathizing with yourself, and how can doing so affect your ability to lead and influence your team? When our team envisions their ideal leader, what qualities come to mind?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman, Founder of MindsetGo, discusses how the phrase “Common Sense” interferes with having an open-mind, problem-solving, innovation, employee engagement and psychological safety. Listen and learn how to use curiosity and emotional intelligence to improve your communication. Segment 1: Habits and behaviors that are innate to us may not be so obvious to people around us, which makes it so important for us to understand where people are coming from. What is the difference between societal etiquette and common sense? What is the mindset that makes up “common sense,” and how can we ensure that we're making the best decisions that we can in a given situation? Segment 2: Although we've spent our entire career building up essential work and life skills, there are bound to be important things that we lack proficiency in. What skills should be “common sense” for us to know at this point in our lives? What makes a habit or behavior “common sense” to know? Segment 3: As leaders, we need to understand the weight and significance of telling our team “I don't know.” Is it a detriment to tell that to our teams, or is there a benefit to admitting to our teams when we don't have answers? What is the best way to motivate our peers into changing a habit or behavior? Segment 4: Empathy is an extremely powerful tool that can often be the deciding factor in whether or not we influence somebody else. How can our usage of empathy shape the way people interact with us? When we're unsure what the level of experience is of the person we're working with, how can we ask clarifying questions in a way that isn't condescending?
In this episode of ICommunicate, new MindsetGo coach Patty Burke joins Mark Altman to discuss how leaders can become effective coaches, what gets in the way of being a good coach and how coaching starts with managing yourself. Segment 1: As easy as it sounds to put ourselves in another person's shoes, not all of us are prepared to put ourselves in the mindset to do so. What are the qualities that determine an effective leader and coach, and how do we know that we possess those qualities? Why is it so hard to put ourselves in another person's shoes, and what can make it easier for us? Segment 2: “Be mindful” is a phrase we hear day in and day out, but what does that actually mean? What are the benefits of mindfulness, and how does it apply to different aspects of our lives? What questions should we be asking people who seek change in their lives to motivate them and get them to understand what the root cause of their insecurities or problems may be? Segment 3: Leaders, we have to stop expecting our team member's habits to change after one, long conversation -- but what is the alternative to that? How can we make habit change manageable for our employees, so that check-ins don't waste our time or theirs? Why is it important for us, as leaders, to get our employees to understand their own problems, as opposed to us spelling them out for them? Segment 4: We're an outcome-driven society, where our priority by the end of the day is to hit our numbers -- but what about every other aspect of our lives? Why should we shift our mindset to prioritize processes and development instead of outcomes? Each and every one of us has some internal motivation that drives us to do what we do -- can you identify what those aspirations are in each and every one of your teammates?
In this episode of ICommunicate, Robert Bush, a Sales Leader from Connection, once again joins Mark Altman to discuss critical steps to be self-aware of heading into habit change conversations and how to get people comfortable sharing their truth about where they need help. Segment 1: Integrating learning and development training into our workplace culture is much easier said than done. How can we educate people about the importance of self-reflection and evolving from their mistakes? How can we make time in the day for learning and development, and how can we sustain a positive attitude towards it? Segment 2: Developing the skill set to self-reflect and accurately identify your strengths and weaknesses is a challenge in and of itself, let alone teaching someone else how to do it. As leaders, how can we identify trends in our employee's behaviors that need to be addressed? When should we intervene and talk about habit change with them, and how can we facilitate change? Segment 3: As leaders, we understand that one of the most difficult challenges that comes with leading our teams is maintaining a positive outlook. How can we maintain a positive attitude without feeling as though we have to fake it? How can we adjust our mindset to look at difficulties as a metric of improvement rather than a hindrance? Segment 4: The unfortunate truth regarding conversations around habit change is that there's not a single, sure-fire solution -- some people may be more resistant to change or admitting their faults than others. How can we prepare for these conversations, ensuring that our approach derives from a place of humility rather than authority? How can we adjust our mindset so that we have a proactive outlook on work/life, and how can we make that attitude contagious?

In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman, Director of Learning and Development at MindsetGo, discusses the steps to impactful conversations with individuals or teams that are frustrated. Learn to help people shift their mindset, embrace different perspectives, and see their role in change. Segment 1: Navigating through a conversation with somebody who is especially frustrated is a tall task without the right toolkit. What should we keep in mind when we're in these situations? How can we turn somebody's frustration into motivation and clarity? Segment 2: A team that's plagued with resignation mindsets leads to a culture where frustration is contagious. What is a resignation mindset, and what steps can we take to avoid it? What strategies can we use to identify the root cause of problems, and why is it essential for leaders to know? Segment 3: What we say in a conversation with somebody who is frustrated could be the deciding factor in whether or not they resolve their problem. How can we help our team draw conclusions about where their feelings are coming from? How can we guide our peers towards understanding different perspectives? Segment 4: As leaders, we play a pivotal role in the wellbeing of our team, and must be on the lookout for signs of frustration. What results should we strive for when having conversations with our team about what's holding them back?
Are you comfortable asking for feedback? How about advocating for what you want and need from your boss? In this episode of ICommunicate, Mark Altman and Joseph Lyman discuss the benefits of initiating feedback, how to know if it's safe, and how to determine if it's authentic when managing up and sideways in the workplace. Segment 1: When we have expectations that aren't being met, we're inclined to believe that people will eventually learn to read our minds to satisfy our wants and needs. How can we start conversations with our peers and leaders about communicating feedback? How can we develop communication skills even when they're not innate to us? Segment 2: When we finally gain the courage to ask for feedback from our leaders and they give it to us, we're inclined to think that they're only doing so out of guilt. Is this a reasonable expectation, or are there more factors that play into it? What's the mindset of a leader when it comes to delivering feedback? Segment 3: Giving and receiving feedback sounds easy enough at its surface, but what happens when our expectations about feedback aren't lining up with those of our peers and leaders? What communication skills can we use to ensure that our expectations are aligned? Segment 4: Understandably enough, it's difficult to start up conversations around feedback, especially if we feel like we don't have permission to. What gives us the green light to initiate discussions around feedback?
In this episode, hosts Alan Sanders and Walt Murray interview radio personality, Veronica Harrell. Veronica actually started her college career with a desire to be a movie director. As fate would have it, she got a job in radio on a small conservative talk station in Jackson, Michigan. That role led to another role back in Detroit. Before she knew it, her husband was transferred to Atlanta and she found another radio job in that market. That role led to some fill-in news and supplemental roles on stations in the Atlanta metro. This got the attention of some of the leadership with WSB and Veronica Harrell was brought in to be a part-time news person. That's when Doug Turnbull of the WSB traffic center asked if she wanted to learn traffic reporting. She made the move and is currently heard six days a week giving traffic reports to the Atlanta listening audience. Veronica also likes using social media to put out messages of positivity. She likes being upbeat, not just for herself, but also for her daughter in college. WATCHING Walt does not recommend watching any of The Walking Dead episodes since Rick left the show. He does, however, highly recommend, Dirty John on Netflix. Alan is binging the television show, The Good Place with Kristen Bell and Ted Danson. Alan also watched the film Peppermint with Jennifer Garner and really enjoyed the movie for what it was. Veronica suggests The Nightstalker, Hotel Cecil and The Equalizer with Queen Latifah. READING Walt is reading, "The 50 Year Mission - The First 25 Years," by Edward Gross and Mark Altman. Alan suggested the audio book, "Control Your Mind and Master Your Feelings." Veronica loves crimes novels and is currently reading, "The Woman in the Window," by A.J. Finn. LISTENING Walt started to listen to The History of the Marine Corps podcast and is really liking it. He also wants to plug The Pod Clubhouse and Geek to Me Radio. Alan said that when he wants something mellow and quiet to have on in the background, to give the New Age group 2002 a try.

In this week's episode of ICommunicate, former environmental science expert now turned sales expert Jim Keogh joins Mark Altman to discuss how to overcome challenges faced by young sales professionals when it comes to cold calling, lead generation and being taken seriously. Segment 1: Covid not only forced us to change our home into a workplace, but also to rethink the way we communicate with clients and coworkers. Why is it important that we adjust our method of communication across generations in and out of the workplace? Segment 2: Enduring rejection and being cautiously optimistic are essential traits to maintaining our composure as salespeople. How can we stay cool and confident while pursuing prospects? Are we overlooking the potential benefit of cold calls? Segment 3: With every new prospect comes a bit of a gamble in what your attitude and approach should be while talking to them for the first time. There's a difference between being assertive and aggressive, but how can we define that line, especially since it varies from person to person? Segment 4: Social media designed for business, such as LinkedIn, provides us with a platform to connect with potential prospects, but navigating these apps and getting the desired leverage out of them tends to be easier said than done. How can assertiveness help us navigate these platforms and land us a valuable connection?
Do your sales people talk features and functions and sell on price? Whether you're an executive pitching your company vision or a sales pro selling a product or service, you need to capture the attention of your audience, persuade them that you can help, and make sure you're remembered. In this week's episode of ICommunicate, storytelling expert Robert Mattson joins Mark Altman to discuss how to be more compelling and memorable. They also discuss the keys to motivating people who are selfish, lazy and smug. Segment 1: Far too often, we understate the impact that storytelling has on the people around us -- especially in sales, where a memorable and engaging story can mean the difference between whether you or a competitor is hired. What makes storytelling such an essential skill? How can it improve our effectiveness as leaders? Segment 2: At the end of a day, a salesperson finds success if they can convince a customer that their product or service will add value to that person's life. What are the key components to delivering a story that resonates with our clients? Segment 3: Let's face it, we're not going to become phenomenal story tellers overnight. How can we practice our ability to tell engaging and meaningful tales? How do we structure stories and determine what aspects are the most important? Segment 4: Know your audience. We hear that all the time, but what does it really mean? What techniques can we use to make our audience feel that our stories are applicable to them?

In this episode, Melissa Glenny and Mark Altman discuss one of the most universal problems for companies of all sizes all over the country. Why the top 8% of salespeople won't join your team and what you can do about it. We are focusing specifically on sales reps because almost one out of every eight jobs in the United States are full time sales positions. That's a large population of sales reps and part of the reason it's so hard to find the good candidates. Did you know that 92% of sales reps across all industries in the United States collectively produce 20% of sales? Basically, the vast majority of sales reps, don't really have the required skills to be effective. So what do you do about it? Listen to today's episode to gain insight into how to effectively hire the top 8%b of Sales Reps in your industry by effectively attracting, assessing and engaging the right candidates.

Imagine if you were told with virtually no notice that you had to become a remote parent prior to your kids graduating high school. What would change? How would you adapt? Could you maintain a strong connection with your kids? Experts have often said parenting and leadership are one and the same. Now, not only do leaders have to suddenly learn and hone skills around remote leadership, but they have to help their teams adapt to re-integration in the workplace and handle conflict with evolving challenges related to people's mindset and fears returning to work. In this week's podcast, Mark Altman and Joseph Lyman discuss how to motivate teams and provide the support tools individuals will need to overcome obstacles, stay engaged, and maintain a focused/positive mindset. Segment 1: The temptation to micromanage our children to ensure their safety in the same ways we handle our employees can hinder our mindsets when it comes to being an effective leader. Are we making the right decisions when it comes to managing remotely? How can we be effective remote leaders even when we don't have the same control as we otherwise would? Segment 2: Adapting to a growth mindset and avoiding tunnel vision can be especially difficult now that we've lost the ability to connect with employees face-to-face. Are we in a position to disregard virtual interactions as temporary and insignificant in the long run? How can we adapt to the difficulties presented by remote interactions and avoid being blinded by short term goals? Segment 3: Staying accountable and advocating for ourselves and our teams is especially difficult now that our priorities have changed in our virtual workplace. How can we effectively manage and accommodate for the rapidly changing needs of our employees? Segment 4: The virtual world has caused habits in the workplace to change, as remote interaction causes ambiguity and forces us to think differently on how to be engaging leaders. How can we use the growth mindset and set expectations going into meetings to avoid being overbearing and micromanaging?

My returning guest for this episode is author Mark A. Altman, whose new book So Say We All: The Complete, Uncensored, Unauthorized Oral History of Battlestar Galactica is in stores now, and who joins me to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the Battlestar Galactica franchise, which premiered on this day in 1978 on the ABC TV network. Listen in as Mark and I discuss the original show's creation by Glen A. Larson, its quick cancellation, its quick revival followed by an even quicker cancellation, and why the 2003 reboot series created by Ronald D. Moore is just as memorable in its own right while going far afield and doing its own. Also: listen as we digress and reminisce fondly about Larson's other '70s sci-fi series, Buck Rogers in the 25 Century, and much more!

After rejecting The God Thing movie treatment and two additional treatments that were referred to as Star Trek II, all from Gene Roddenberry, Paramount execs began looking elsewhere for Star Trek film ideas in January 1976. They began to interview writers independently of Gene Roddenberry, hoping to find that one story idea that could become the first Star Trek movie and launch a franchise. Many writers came in to pitch ideas. We focus on the three who had the best stories on this episode of 70s Trek. They include stories from John D. F. Black, Harlan Ellison, and Robert Silverberg. John D. F. Black served as the story editor for the 1st season of Star Trek and wrote the episode The Naked Time. Silverberg is a multi-award winning author in the sci-fi genre and a "Grand Master of Science Fiction." Harlan Ellison is a science fiction author who has written over 1700 short stories, novellas, books and articles. He has also won numerous awards for his work and is known as "Sci-Fi's Most Controversial Figure." Listeners can read about each of these pitches from our source material, the 1995 book Lost Voyages of Trek and The Next Generation by Edward Gross and Mark Altman.
