SUMMARY Author Bruce Feiler claims that people experience 30 to 40 disruptors in their lives, which is about one every 12 to 18 months (Source). In todays conversation, we hear from authors Lisa Pratt Slayton and Michaela O'Donnell, PhD on the fluctuating aspects of life and how we can more mindfully and faithfully navigate change. Whether you're in a change in your life, just getting out of one or preparing to be in one, their new book Life In Flux is an essential resource for you as a faithful worker and leader which will prepare you with a set of navigational skills for the inner work that helps us be at home in flux. HIGHLIGHTS On Waking Up Moments: "There comes a moment… in which somewhere inside of us we realize: ‘What got us here is not going to get us to where we want to go on the way forward.' That's what waking up sounds like. ‘I don't want to keep doing this. I want to do it differently.' These waking up moments, we are very prime to have them when life is in flux.” On Using Your Navigational Skills: “That's the knee jerk [reaction], right? Is to just start running in circles. But if we stop and cut the engine, and listen and invite maybe a couple of people to listen with us, we start to see the signs and see the things and pay attention to what's going on so that we can begin to make very small incremental steps. And that's the work.” Resource Download the episode transcript.

Patrick Colletti is a leadership and organizational culture expert, champion for “refounders” and author of the upcoming leadership book Refounder. He draws on his experience as a technology executive, his business-growth expertise and a passion for company culture to share growth-oriented guidance that challenges social and cultural norms, both in the workplace and in the community. Patrick is passionate about creating flourishing businesses and empowering the next generation of Refounders — business leaders and entrepreneurs who revitalize the places where they live, work and play. Patrick is the founder, president emeritus and a current advisor of the healthcare software company Net Health. When he began his tenure as company president in 2001, Net Health was experiencing significant financial turmoil resulting in laying off all but 2 employees. Collaborating with a growing team, he grew the company that now helps heal millions of people each year. In concert with a team which included 4 private equity partners, he completed a corporate turnaround — Refounding and reinvigorating the already established organization. By utilizing a Refounder mindset as a framework for success, Patrick was able to spur rapid business growth and cultivate a flourishing corporate culture. In his debut book, Refounder (slated for publication in early 2021), he shares the experience, insights and moments of enlightenment he gained over two decades serving in multiple leader positions at Net Health, including president, chief revenue officer and chief operating officer. Through stories about well-known leaders, cities and organizations, he explores how society often reinvents for the better and reveals how individuals can assess what needs to be Refounded in their own life. Patrick infuses the Refounding spirit into everything he does, helping to Refound companies such as Think Native and Grayscale through redemptive investing, guidance and counsel. In addition, he exerts his Refounding expertise for community initiatives, recently partnering with the Pittsburgh International Airport and the organization Free the Music to display pianos designed by local artists. An innovative leader and advocate in the healthcare industry, Patrick is a frequent speaker and in-demand consultant. He has served on many boards, including Net Health, Careform (ConnectiveRx), National Foundation for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE), Near Health, Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation and the Pittsburgh Technology Council. Patrick also received the Ernst and Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2010, and has been featured as an expert in a variety of healthcare and business outlets, including Pittsburgh Business Times, Smart Business Network and Healthcare IT. The company's culture has won local, national, and industry awards for culture from Beckers, PBT,and Modern Healthcare. Patrick began his career as a strategy and sales leader for Dorland Data Networks, a healthcare data company, as well as American Lawyer Media (ALM), a business-to-business information and intelligence media company. As Director of Sales at ALM, he worked alongside the team that launched an online marketplace and content portal, known now as LAW.com. Patrick graduated from Muskingum University in New Concord, Ohio, with a bachelor of arts double major in business and philosophy. He currently resides with his family in Pittsburgh, Penn. “determine the just purpose of your organisation. Whether that's a not-for-profit or for-profit organisation.

In a broken and confusing world, it is realy hard to know the right thing to do. In this episode, Lisa Slayton doesn’t come with a bunch of clear-cut answers, but she does raise the right questions. And I think she points in the right direction. We need to become people of integrity, people who live lives of coherence. The Hebrew word for this is tamim. Lisa Slayton, the CEO of Tamim Partners, works with leaders and organizations to help them live from a place of integrity and coherence.THIS EPISODE’S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Lisa Slayton is the CEO of Tamim Partners.Tamim is a Hebrew word often translated as “perfect” or “blameless.” A better translation might be “wholeheartedness,” “integrity,” or “coherence.”Lisa suggests that shalom is an outward expression of wholeness and tamim refers to an inner wholeness that is required for true shalom.Lisa Slayton had previously been the CEO of the Pittsburgh Leadership Foundation.We live in a VUCA world: volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity.In order to best coach an organization and/or its leader, it is critical to look at the systems.Leaders can’t rely on “best practices” anymore.Pastors today have not been given the tools or resources to lead in these times of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.Lisa is committed to the Made to Flourish pastors’ network.Tamim Partners has for key values: integrity, hospitality, learning, and relationships.Integrity has to do with living integrated, coherent lives.Leaders often push themselves to the point of dis-integration and in-coherence.An axiom Lisa shares: “What we know gets in the way of what we need to learn.”When a leaders says, “I just don’t know what to do,” that’s when the leader is ready to begin truly learning.Much of what Lisa has shared is reminiscent of the previous two episodes of Spiritual Life and Leadership:Episode 46: Inviting the Real, with Esther Lightcap Meek, author of A Little Manual for KnowingEpisode 47: Leadership, Anxiety, and Family Systems, with Steve Cuss, author of Managing Leadership Anxiety RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKSBooks mentioned: A Failure of Nerve by Edwin FriedmanManaging Leadership Anxiety by Steve CussA Little Manual for Knowingby Esther Lightcap MeekTamim Parnters: Website: http://www.tamimpartners.comTo leave a review of Spiritual Life and Leadership: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spiritual-life-and-leadership/id1435252632— Links to Amazon are affiliate links.
