Accountable Leadership is not for Everyone As the leader, you are responsible for everything! You are accountable for the decisions that you make, or don't make. You will be held accountable for the decisions your team makes, or doesn't make. Even more, you will be held accountable for the failures, while giving your team the credit for the wins. You are accountable for your hires. If they work out, great! If they don't...you are on the hook for them. You will be responsible for innovation and creativity as a leader. If the business is not innovative or creative...it's on You! This doesn't sound like it is much fun to be a leader. Well, the fact is, all that accountability can be very rewarding as you remain curious and build into the lives of your people. In this episode of A New Direction, we are joined by former CEO of Tipperary Sales Inc., current Executive Coach and Best-selling author Martha Brown. As she gives practical guidance to leaders at any stage, from her latest book, "It's On You!" Martha Brown's book, "It's On You! Empowerment for Leaders Seeking the Highest Level of Personal Satisfaction and Corporate Success" is a fantastic read from a former CEO who knows how to grow her business and increase profitability. It's on you! It is a self-described guide for emerging and aspiring CEO's and leaders, and the book does not disappoint. I walked away from the book with three in-depth insights from Martha Brown and "It's on You!" A leader needs to be Strong, Accountable, and Compassionate. And when you can combine those things successfully, you will have been a great leader. Martha addresses a number of leadership issues from "owning your team", to "creativity and innovation", to "having the hard conversations" to "making sure you have time for you"...and so much more! It's on You! is not a leadership philosophy book. This book has also built in at the end of every chapter, a moment to reflect on where you are at in your leadership, and then a "Step Into Action" section, where she gives you actionable ideas to improve. Simply a great leadership book. I think it is a must-read. Get your copy here! Please reach out and thank the sponsors of A New Direction!

Mindful Decision Making: Balancing Intuition & Analysis
Steve shares the Gone to the Dogs microphone this week with a charming and equally interesting guest from the State of Florida, Martha Brown. Coming from a bird dog background as a child, Brown learned the coon hunting sport from a local hunter affectionally known as Uncle Fred. When the coon hunting bug bit like a Florida mosquito, for Brown there was no turning back. A nurse professionally, Brown competition-hunted early on with English dogs but switched to the Treeing Walker breed and never looked back. Thinks came to a screeching halt when Hurricane Michael devasted her hunting territory in 2018. Brown's newly completed home was mildly damaged but her property, including her kennels and all her trees on her were destroyed. If that were not enough, Brown was soon diagnosed with cancer. But Brown is no quitter, and her story has a happy ending.Steve met Martha Brown as she competed in the UKC Winter Classic coonhound competition in Albany, Georgia and was immediately impressed by her knowledge of hounds and hunting, qualities he judged to be on equal footing with some of the most knowledgeable hunters in the game. Brown, at the height of her hunting career was recognized as a topflight competitor, judge, and trainer of quality hounds. The conversation between two friends is ripe with memories and gets good when Steve coaxes Brown to share tales from her glory days in the sport.

We talk this week with Martha Brown and Debbie Gowensmith about trauma-informed evaluation. It was a great chat, but, before we jump in, here's a little background on our guests. Our first guest is Martha Brown, president and founder of RJAE Consulting. A well-known evaluator and trainer, Martha's expertise is in the area of trauma-informed practices and restorative justice. She joins us alongside Debbie Gowensmith, vice-president of Groundswell Services, Inc., a consulting firm that specializes in strengthening equity-building movements. Debbie's expertise is in community-based research and program evaluation, and she also has a background in program management, which she brings to bear on her evaluation work. We found our guests after reading Debbie's January 2021 AEA365 post on using Photovoice to support trauma-informed evaluation. Debbie introduced us to Martha, and the rest is history. As we mention in the introduction of the episode, we really only scratch the surface in this conversation and would probably benefit from another couple hours with Martha and Debbie! We consider ourselves newcomers to this work, so Debbie and Martha patiently covered some "Trauma 101" material with us before we moved on to discussing trauma-informed evaluation. We talk about different evaluation approaches and methodologies that are better suited for trauma-informed work, but really Martha and Debbie encourage evaluators to assume a trauma-informed lens irrespective of their methodology. Whether we're doing Photovoice or field work or surveys, we should be mindful of the prior experiences of both research participants and our staff and be careful not to engage in practices that re-traumatize individuals or communities. Debbie and Martha referenced and shared a few resources, which we found helpful and will therefore pass along to our loyal listeners: SAMHSA's Concept of Trauma and Guidance for a Trauma-informed Approach (SAMHSA is Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, an operating division of the Department of Health and Human Services) SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) CDC's site on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) We really hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did! FYI, if you'd like to reach out to and/or learn from Martha, you can find her at: For training/workshops in Trauma Informed (TI) Evaluation for your organization or conference, email martha@rjaeconsulting.com For information regarding how Hamai Consulting can support TI systems change and help organization become TI, email martha@hamaiconsulting.com
Dr. Martha Brown joins me for an honest conversation about how being trauma-informed can help us help our communities. Martha generously shares her personal stories and how that led her to restorative justice and now trauma-informed work. Grounded in indigenous practices, Restorative Justice practices are centered on relationships. Circles equalize power through a structured process for people to talk and listen to each other. Martha literally wrote the book on Restorative Justice approaches in schools. Check it out here.Now people in the field are moving toward a Trauma-informed Approach. Trauma is an event or series of events that exceeds a person's ability to cope. Trauma has long-lasting effects on a person's physical and psychological health. Martha breaks down these concepts for us and helps us understand the ongoing, lasting effects of trauma on people and our society. Having a high ACES score does not define us, but can help us understand each other. We talk about why nonprofits and community coalitions need to take a trauma-informed approach. It first has to start with those inside the organizations. Listen to learn more about being a trauma-informed organization. "If you want peace, work for justice."

Martha Brown, Banoffee was living in LA, struggling to cover the rent with a broken down car and phoning mum for clarity on just whether it might be time to realise chasing this dream in music could be 'ridiculous'. But then Banoffee received a phone call that saw her playing for Charli XCX as support for Taylor Swift's last world tour. Epic much?!? Two years later, Banoffee is back in Melbourne promoting her debut album Look at Us Now Dad. Described as an oil slick of a pop record, with rainbow synths sliding over the viscous slurry of guilt and shame many survivors wade through before reclaiming their identities. The album embodies Brown's refusal to let her past dominate her future. Today we chat about riding the waves of performing. About the masks we might where when on stage, but also the mask that performing on that's same stage lets us remove. And about having self awareness to know either way. A new friend of boxing, this super star sure packs a punch.

On June 6, drunken Cohoes police officer Sean Mckown shot at a group of black teenagers while at his summer home in the Adirondacks and then filed a false report with the police. So far no charges have been filed against McKown, who is being allowed to retire from the Cohoes police force. Martha Brown of John Brown Lives! talks about the effort by local residents to get the Essex County District Attorney to investigate both the shooting and the subsequent investigation by the state police.

Banoffee / Martha and I met a long time ago, like almost ten years ago I'd say, when I was cool. I was super cool for a minute, she acknowledges on the show. She's way cooler these days. I remember catching up with her in LA a few years ago and her sunbathing by my pool w her armpit hair and thinking oh she became really cool now. And so her debut album came out right before the rona on Cascine Records (featured on the previous Jeff Bratton episode). We talk about how it doesn't matter. Because something happened for Martha in the last few years, and she's in front now. Everyone she's friends with and working with are the most progressive creatives on earth. And her album is really really good pop music. So we're gonna look for music in the new world. And she's going to be making it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/teawithsg/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/teawithsg/support

Banoffee is regarded as one of the most forward-thinking and innovative pop/dance songwriters working today. With co-signs from the likes of SOPHIE and Charli XCX, not to mention a string of killer fashion collabs, she holds the captive attention of a global audience. Before all that though, Banoffee was Martha Brown - a part of Melbourne's Two Bright Lakes collective and one third of art-pop outsiders Otouto. It's a unique Venn diagram that few artists truly fit into, and before her headlining show at the Lansdowne Hotel this past March she explained just how she managed to transition between the two.
