This will help you know the key components that involves in working through an important change process. This will give you an insight that you never thought of before. Summary: Dr. Natasha Todorovic-Cowan is the CEO and co-founder of the National Values-Center Consulting (and owner of Spiral Dynamics brand). Whether your challenges are resistance to change, cultures in conflict, strategic partnerships, dysfunctional teams, or strategic change implementation, Natasha's experience includes unraveling the people side of organizational challenges from C-suite to shop floor using a proven human systems approach. For over 25 years Natasha has been working with leaders, consultants, coaches, and organizations applying her proprietary Spiral Dynamics cultural DNA survey, leadership assessments, and change readiness index to predict hurdles to change. Her techniques for handling corporate change are rooted in 70 years of research and application in a variety of industries and sectors. Here are the highlights of this episode: Dr. Natasha's ideal client would be senior executive who is in a transformation and people-oriented.

Leaders are not aligning change for the way people want to or able to absorb change, perhaps not even taking people's motivational flows into account. She says that the everyone has cognitive biases or blind spots to other human being, so her team helps in trying to build that bridge biases and understand people at a core level. Dr. Natasha's Valuable Free Action (VFA): One of the things that she always insists on is to take a people-centered assessment to give you the landscape.

Let’s connect Natasha! Natasha would like to meet… everyone!
Many people believe that leaders are born, not made. Yet, the truth is that most people become leaders because they are chosen by the people who see them as leaders. Their followers see the leader as authentic and strong and capable of leading them in the right direction. In our uncertain and topsy-turvy world, we need more strong leaders, including in our families, to help guide us to a place of security, peace, and love. Our special guest, Natasha Todorovic-Cowan, owner of the groundbreaking Spiral Dynamics system, shared valuable insights how to be a capable and loving leader in uncertain times. Here are some of the nuggets of wisdom we learned from Natasha: *Good leaders know who they can lead. A successful leader is only as good as the fit between themselves and the people they lead. When a great leader moves to a new context—work, social, or political environment—they are only effective 50% of the time. The reason? Just because they were successful in one context (situation) doesn’t mean they will have equally good results in another. It all depends on the match between themselves and the people they lead. Therefore, a good leader needs to be constantly aware of how their leadership style (sensitive, tough, etc.) fits with the people they are leading. If there is not a good fit, the leader needs to adjust their style or find new people to lead. *Successful leaders are polite, caring, and empathetic With a rise in incivility in business and work harassment incidents, it seems like the workplace has become a psychological war zone where people are trying to emotionally survive. In fact, 70% of employees say they would rather see their boss fired than get a raise. Consequently, the quality leader knows how to be polite and caring—to demonstrate empathy and put themselves in the shoes of their employees. By doing so, they are able to understand their employee’s concerns and find ways to help them be more comfortable, confident, and productive. *Great leaders tap into a person’s “Zone of Genius.” All of us have a special talent or ability, "a zone of genius," even if we don’t recognize it. You may be good with numbers, words, concepts, working with your hands, sales, or taking care of people. Whatever your talent is, your “Don” (from the phrase “Don Divino—gift from God) is what makes you uniquely “You” and can activate your passion for excellence. The intelligent leader knows how to discover and encourage each person’s unique gift or talent. Although 75% of managers say they are satisfied with the talent utilization of their subordinates, only 30% of employees said they are fully using their abilities. The key, therefore, is for the business leader to pinpoint their employee’s greatest strength and encourage them to develop it. Likewise, a parent can be a great leader by helping a child discover and nurture their gift or talent. Also, parents need to find a balance between being a “Tiger mom or dad”—forcing discipline and practice on a child—and being too easy-going (permissive): spoiling the child and letting them do anything they want to do (play video games all day). Being a gentle and empathetic encourager of the child, while setting limits to instill discipline and hard work, is the best way for a parent to lead a child to fulfill their potential. In difficult and fearful times, we need more strong leaders—in business, government, education, science, religion/spirituality—and especially in our own families and communities. You, too, can be a strong leader if you believe in a good cause and find like-minded people to join you—individuals you can help empower to achieve their fullest potential. It can be as simple as leading your friend out of a bad habit or relationship, leading your child toward good study habits, or leading your employees and associates to produce more and love the work they do. And, most importantly, you need to learn how to lead yourself—to find what motivates and inspires you, and keep yourself on the right track toward positivity, love, and contribution. Lead yourself, and you can lead those around you, especially when you do it with love and compassion.

What is Spiral Dynamics? Natasha explains that it is a practical, evidence-based approach to the human hurdles of organizational, leadership and professional development and change. Put more precisely, Spiral Dynamics helps leaders understand and resolve problems caused by world views, ways of thinking and environmental misalignment within their companies. NVC Consulting makes sure that their clients are aligned within their company and with their target market and clientele. NVC Consulting’s programs help recognize the ‘Why? What? Who? and How?’ questions within a company and often saves their clients millions of dollars once these questions are properly addressed. Natasha goes further to say that by leaning in and experiencing the feelings and content of what you are providing your clients, you can understand their excitement and find the value in the content that you deliver.To learn more about NVC Consulting visit https://spiraldynamics.org/Interested in Investing and want to set yourself up for success?

Contact Info Company: Spiral Dynamics Website: SpiralDynamics.org Most Influential Person Chris Cowan (my husband) Effect on Emotions Mindfulness has affected my emotions by allowing me to notice the initial sparking emotion. Far too many of us are feeling feelings about feelings, and that's a form of affect phobia. By noticing the messages in that initial spark, we get to understand our reactions and what we need to know quickly, rather than letting things spiral out of control. Thoughts on Breathing So we were talking about the PTSD, and one of the things I did when I was having a reaction was a long four count in, a four-count hold, a four-count exhale, and a four-count hold. And I did that until I could be present in the room again. Suggested Resources Book: N/A App: Unyte Bullying Story Actually, my husband and I were subject to over a decade of bullying and it was rough. It was very tough because some of the stuff that we did with spiral dynamics was very confronting to a certain group of folks. Sometimes we'd be in our classes delivering the spiral dynamics content and we'd have some of those people in our classes. I had PTSD for a number of years and this situation would get so bad it would trigger the entire PTSD. Now, if you've got a room with 30 people, you can't go freak out. So what I did was, I internally noticed the reaction, noticed the panic, and noticed the fear. I noticed it come up inside me and acknowledged what that was and asked myself, 'Okay. Is this person asking you that question because they're trying to get you? Or is it because there's a sincere desire underneath there to learn something or to explore something?' Once I was able to be mindful of their intentions, where they were coming from, and the origins of what it was that they were trying to explore, I was able to let that emotion or that reaction simmer down some, and then become fully present for them. Sometimes I had to ask them a couple of questions just to get myself grounded in their world, their experience, and their reality to be fully present for them. But that was one of the ways that I dealt with that. Free Gift Get the 'Release Your Overwhelm' Guided Meditation for only $4.99. Bruce Langford helps you abandon your inner blocks.
