Dr. Laura welcomes Mike Horne PhD, author of The People Dividend and an executive and organization development coach, to the show to talk about his book and why he's drawn to making people and organizations better versions of who and what they currently are. Mike began his career in labour management relations, which led him into the world of learning and development. Mike's driving question has always been about how he could live out his humanistic values and help people. As he says “I'm not afraid to be called a helper.”Mike and Dr. Laura discuss organizational culture, remote and hybrid work, and the impact of helping professions. Mike describes his book, The People Dividend, as being about humanistic values as a way of creating engagement. The words he says are the most important are dignity, kindness, and respect. Dr. Laura learns how Mike guides people through growth, the impact his book is having, and how leaders can unlock the potential in people and find the best talent for the job.“I'm working on a very big project right now on Civility in an organization for a very large health care system. And I think it's just another way that we're talking about differences in the workplace. There's all kinds of backlash around diversity, equity and inclusion. It's very difficult for me to understand that, given that we have enough research that tells us that diverse teams understanding diverse customers helps you make money.” Mike Horne, Ph.D.About Mike Horne, Ph.D.:Mike Horne, Ph.

Favorite Quotes: “If you want to help people be the most open to new ideas . . . , you want to start with their dream, their sense of purpose, their sense of calling.” --- Richard Boyatzis “The more we structure people’s time, children or adults, the more we take away their time to . . . reflect and then imagine.” --- Richard Boyatzis “One of the things we have to be careful about in teaching more holistic mind-body work . . . , is to help people remind themselves that they’re doing this for a sense of oneness, for a sense of being centered. They’re not doing it to check their box today.” --- Richard Boyatzis “A lot of times, the things that really help us help each other are basic human caring and interaction.” --- Richard Boyatzis Guest BIO: Richard E.

Special Guest: Richard E. Boyatzis, Ph.D., Distinguished University Professor, Departments of Organizational Behavior, Psychology, and Cognitive Science and H.R. Horvitz Chair of Family Business, Case Western Reserve University Creator of Intentional Change Theory (ICT) Most Influential International Thinker, HR Magazine (2014) Author of more than 175 articles and 7 books, including Primal Leadership and Resonant Leadership Highlights from the Podcast: A recent study on motivation and retention, involving 1,800 MBA grads two years into their work, found that salary & benefits were the 7th reason they stayed at their job. The first 6 all had to do with novelty and learning! Development is very important if you want people to use their talent and to stay. People are not looking at their job as a transaction anymore. Training is not typically effective, especially in high power distance cultures, so coaching is the answer. Richard defines coaching as helping other people move toward their ideal self or personal vision. Coaching in business has been around since the 60’s (not a new fad as some believe) – and it is all about helping. Coaching is desired….but not always effective! His personal studies have shown that 70% - 80% of managers are not adding value in this space…..and that includes CEOs. The Coaching Research Lab at Case Western Reserve focuses on these 3 coaching client outcomes – (1) the person articulates or reframes their personal vision (2) helping someone’s behavior change in the way they want to and (3) helping them build better relationships with their coach and other people so they can continue to grow, develop and innovate. If you want to know more about the research they are doing, follow this link: https://weatherhead.case.edu/departments/organizational-behavior/coaching-research/ Neuroimaging studies are showing how important personal visioning is because when someone dreams, not set goals, it activates the default mode network. It dramatically activates the visual lateral cortex, which is the part of the brain engaged when you are imagining things. These studies helped show us that problem solving coaching doesn’t work if you start with that and don’t get people to think about their personal vision first. If you only focus on solving a problem, you will not get behavior change. Understanding your personal vision is critical to making change last. In the Intentional Change Theory he developed, he said to sustain desired change – you have to want to change – not do it for someone else or because you think you should. It starts with you – you have to really want to change. We are dismally poor in knowing how we are coming across to others – this is where a coach can help a lot. In addition, a coach can help you set your personal vision – identifying your ideal self by pulling out your dreams. I asked Richard what his dream was and he said his purpose is to help liberate people in terms of their dreams, individually or collectively – to help them find their shared vision in a way that energizes them. What is one thing you can do today? People in organizations spend time thinking about being more effective….and that is appropriate, but you shouldn’t think about it so much that you are not thinking about how to adapt and innovate. These two tasks take place in different parts of the brain. Learning to have more balance / more flexibility is one thing that is key. The more narrow you are, the worse off you are. How do you become less narrow and more innovative? Talk to people who care about you, who have comparable interests and who see the world differently from you to get the diversity you need. Build relationships that have more caring in them because that is what is going to last. Executives don’t do the work, their job is to inspire others to do the work and you can’t inspire others unless you are inspired yourself and care about other people.

Gen X Amplified with Adrion Porter: Leadership | Personal Development | Future of Work
If you are ready for an episode of Gen X Amplified when we have a big-time generational conversation about millennials- then this is the one! That's because our featured guest is Lee Caraher, who is millennial champion, and sometimes affectionately called the millennial whisperer. Lee Caraher is an entrepreneur and CEO with over 20 years experience building great, high producing inter-generational work teams that get a lot done, and have fun at the same time. An acclaimed communication strategist known for her practical solutions to big problems - Lee founded her company, Double Forte in 2002 to work with good people doing great work. Her clients span well-loved brands and hot technology startups in the San Francisco Bay area, Boston, New York, and Europe. As an author, Lee wrote Millennials & Management: The Essential Guide to Making it Work at Work, after struggling and then figuring out how to work well with millennial clients and staffers (more than half of Lee's staff is under 32). This positive and practical book is based on her own experience and interviews with hundreds of professionals of all ages across the country. As Lee points out: "I was fed up with the negative stereotypes millennials are burdened with, and was determined to figure out how to create a culture where Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials can all thrive together." On this episode of Gen X Amplified, we really get a chance to go deep into a generational conversation, and discuss the various dynamics of Millennials, Gen Xers, and Boomers in the marketplace. This is definitely a "must-listen" for any Gen Xer looking to become a better leader in the marketplace. Key Highlights From This Episode: What were the two transformational moments that spearheaded Lee's path to launching her agency? How did Lee get the idea for her book , and write it in only three months? What are the best ways to create positive inter-generational work cultures? Why many Boomers and older Gen Xers are "helicopter parents." Why millennials are not necessarily entitled, but are "conditioned." Why this is a great time for Gen Xers to leverage their expertise, and consider starting their own business And so much more!
