Communities are all around us, as are teams, but they aren't always where or what we expect them to be. When you think about the groups you're in and the way you interact and collaborate with others, you can see how you're part of all sorts of communities. And when you're the one bringing a community together, that makes you the leader. This week, episode 162 of the Positively Living Podcast is about how successful leaders build strong communities!In this episode of the Positively Living Podcast, my guest Simon Kardynal shares the qualities and perspective every good leader should have and gives you actionable steps to take right now to create a successful community. Simon and I cover the following topics:The benefits of strong communities. How to become a leader who practices active listening. The many benefits of creating a culture of community in whatever organization you lead. The different kinds of communities and leaders and how they relate to teams.Why celebrating and analyzing successes are just as important, if not more important, as analyzing failures. Community building is like an umbrella. The community itself is the umbrella that protects everyone and everything underneath it. It's the shell that allows the team to be able to go forward in a safe environment.Thank you for listening!

I'd like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People. In this episode, you'll be hearing from me, and I'll be talking about systems thinking, discussing what systems thinking is, why it's important, and how it can be applied to various fields.While most emerging leaders haven't heard of systems thinking, I guarantee most team members have considered systems thinking in some fashion during their professional lives. Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been named #7 in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts for 2023. Simon's Episode Links:1.

To continue celebrating one whole year of Trench Leadership, we are re-releasing another one of our favourite episodes. Take a listen to Episode 23, where Simon talks about survivorship bias. I'd like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.When I say the term survivorship bias, what's the first thought that comes to mind? Most often, the response I receive is that of people using their personal and professional survival stories to help them make informed choices.  And while this is a great answer, this is most definitely NOT what survivorship bias is about.Survivorship bias is, in my opinion, one of the most vital biases that emerging leaders need to understand if they want to be truly open minded with their leadership decisions.In this episode, you'll hear from me, Simon Kardynal, your host, where I'll talk about the basis of survivorship bias and then provide some examples of survivorship bias in action.  You'll learn how to see this bias in yourself and your team, and then you'll hear how to use this bias to yours and your teams' advantage, making everyone more efficient.Want more of Trench Leadership: A Podcast from the Front?

Carrying On The Conversation about trench leadership with Simon Kardynal (Low on data? Listen to a lower quality version here) Carrying on the conversation is important, especially when it comes to trench leadership. In this bonus episode, Wendy Harris and producer Neal Veglio chat about the most recent episode of "Making Conversations Count" with Simon Kardynal. They break it down and discuss some of the key 'takeaways' contained within the conversation. Simon shared his insights about how leadership in the military has evolved from its early years in the trenches, and we wanted to continue that conversation here. Among the topics discussed: Not committing fully to goals. How there is always a better way when it comes to applying your leadership to a situation - even with negativity or gossip. How Wendy's own leadership has been inspired by the episode.  

Trench leadership and how the modern internet connected age has changed how we talk to our troops! We're Making Conversations about being in the trenches Count! "Just because you handled something one way with a particular person, one time, doesn't mean that it's going to work the next time.." Simon Kardynal, Making Conversations Count (February 2022)   In the latest episode of "Making Conversations Count," leadership expert Simon Kardynal joins us to discuss trench leadership and how the rules have changed in the internet age. He explains that leadership is now more about conversations, and less about barking orders in the trenches. He also shares his top tips for any business that uses leadership in its day to day operations. Hint - he believes there's a greater need for having a 'why' established. Finally, we learn his way of handling gossip and infighting.   You'll learn:   How each person you're demonstrating leadership to might need a different approach. How to stop gossip. The importance of clearly explaining the why as well as the what! Why the Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz movie "Knight and Day" contains an important message. How the internet era has changed how people want to be led and why it's important to consider that. Why barking orders doesn't work.

I'd like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional un-ceded, un-surrendered territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin People. Famed American labour leader and civil rights activist, Dolores Huerta once said, “When you have a conflict, that means that there are truths that have to be addressed on each side of the conflict.  And when you have a conflict, then it's an educational process to try to resolve the conflict.  And to resolve that, you have to get people on both sides of the conflict involved so that they can dialogue.”And so, in this episode, I'll be offering insight and advice, along with quotes from workplace conflict experts in order to highlight methods to help emerging leaders deal with team conflict. Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is humbled to have been listed in the Top 20 for Best Canadian Leadership-themed podcasts in 2021. Reviews are the best way for us to know what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and what we should talk about in the future, so please click on the links below and let us know if this episode was helpful.Connect Here:Trench Leadership Web-site: www.trenchleadership.caFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Trench-Leadership-A-Podcast-from-the-Front-10027091202630Instagram: trench_leadershipYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ3DKPuh_ipqJqyeR0vv46QTwitter: @TrenchLeadersh1Iglen Studios: https://www.iglen.comConcussion Legacy Foundation web-site: https://www.concussionfoundation.caDispatches Adventure Ride web-site: https://www.dispatchesride.comSimon's Episode Relevant Links:1.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines fearlessness as being free from fear.  The thing is, fear is one of the most basic evolutionarily related instinct from common to all species, and that's because the need to be able to recognize how and when we need to persevere to survive is an integral method for all of us to keep moving forward.In this episode, we will talk about understanding fear and fearlessness, helping dispel the myth of living fearlessly.  Rather, we will talk about harnessing the power of fear, using it to help focus our mind to help us overcome our personal and professional fears.Reviews are the best way for us to know what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and what we should talk about in the future, so please click on the links below and let us know if this episode was helpful.

When you're talking to a colleague, a friend, or your boss, how often do you find yourself cut-off just at the end of your sentence?  How often have you seen the person with their mouth open, hands raised, just chomping at the bit to speak?  Now, how often have you not felt truly heard by these people, felt rushed or misunderstood and felt as though you didn't have the voice you would have wanted?  In this episode, we will be talking about the invaluable art of active listening.  We will discuss what it means to be an active listener versus a passive listener, and we will talk about why active listening is so crucial for leaders.  And finally, we round out the episode with some ways to help all emerging leaders be the very best active listeners that they want to become.Reviews are the best way for us to know what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and what we should talk about in the future, so please click on the links below and let us know if this episode was helpful.

Today's guest on the Mads Singers Management Podcast is Simon Kardynal, a Canadian Air Force veteran and the host of Trench Leadership: A Podcast from the Front. With his background in the military, Simon is no stranger to leadership; however, after 26 years of service, some people still get intimidated by his experience. Simon also had a hard time communicating with people after leaving the military. He had to make many adjustments, especially when he had to share and reach out to people. But this challenge didn't stop Simon from achieving his goals. He used this challenge as leverage to start his podcast to help upcoming leaders learn to communicate effectively.Simon and I subscribe to the view that great leaders are built, not made. Because every leader was once a beginner who also struggled to get where they are today, they were once clueless and confused. Some had to go through complex challenges to achieve their goals.For Simon, it's okay not to know everything. We shouldn't be afraid to ask for help from others, especially if we aren't familiar with something. This also applies to reaching out to people whenever you are faced with difficulties in life. Let's face it, we humans thrive on interaction, but because we all have our unique way of dealing with things, we need to consider how we should approach another person. Key Learning Points:1.Simon shares about a program he was accepted into and how it taught him that leadership isn't about just leading with your brain but also with your heart. - 04:462. Simon says that a leader should be a blend of both intelligence and empathy. - 05:083. Mads shares that he is more of a logical person than an emotional person and admits he struggles connecting with people emotionally. Still, he doesn't let this stop him from reaching out to people or offering his support in a time of need. - 07:284. Simon shares how mingling with others became difficult for him as a leader. - 08:085. Mads says that you need different types of people in your company, you need people who can talk to other people, people who can make sales. Having people who are like you is ideal. However, it doesn't apply to every aspect. - 10:096. Simon shares that honesty will ensure that things will get done if you're honest and forthright with your people. - 12:177. Mads says that it's essential to recognize the different kinds of people you have in your company. - 15:358. Simon says that it's easier to build connections than understand when to push someone and read their body language. - 17:319. Simon shares a recent experience a few months ago when he realized that different environments require different things. Because of this, Simon's relationship with the people around him drastically increased. - 20:2410. Simon talks about the importance of reaching out to talk to someone you trust when you find yourself in a difficult situation or don't have all the answers (and it's okay not to have all the answers all the time). - 28:29Connect with Simon:EmailPodcast: Trench Leadership: A Podcast from the FrontFacebookInstagramLinkedIn

I am here today with Simon Kardynal. Simon was in the Canadian armed forces for 26 years. While in the armed forces he was able to take many leadership courses including the Master of Arts in Leadership from Royal Roads University. After retiring in January of 2021 he took a job as a contract manager which has allowed him to use the skills he learned from these leadership courses and follow his true passions. I believe you will find Simon to be a very entertaining guest! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/second-scene/support

Often, either as leaders or followers, we don't see or realize the immediate impact that we are making.  In the moment (you will hear and see this a lot from me), it's very hard to recognize that what we are doing has immediate broader ramifications than the small task being performed “right now”.  But, as a leader, especially at the early (junior) stages of a leadership career, we have the most direct and powerful influence on our people.  In this episode we will discuss where leadership influence began and when does it stop (Hint: It never stops) and the importance of building connections with your team.  We will do this by telling a not so successful story, followed by a success story.  We will use these stories to provide some tips and tricks to help you put another tool in your leadership toolbox and help you have more success stories than cringe-worthy ones. Reviews are the best way for us to know what we are doing right, what we are doing wrong, and what we should talk about in the future, so please click on the links below and let us know if this episode was helpful.

I have been in your shoes.  I have been that subordinate who was suddenly the boss of my friends.  I have had to have the tough conversations, make the difficult and unpopular choices, celebrated with people, and made the embarrassing mistakes.  This podcast is for emerging leaders who are looking for advice, a helping hand, or a reminder that we were all new to leading at one time.  Together, we will explore the world of leadership, so please join me as we learn and grow together.Hi everyone, and welcome to the inaugural episode of Trench Leadership: A Podcast from the Front, hosted by me, Simon Kardynal.  This episode is titled “Why Should I Listen to your Podcast?”  And that's a great question because why SHOULD you listen to my podcast?  What makes my message special and worth you taking the time to listen to me and all of the amazing guests that I have lined up for you?   Well, this episode will explain it all.  

Leadership is bloody, and arguably, the leaders who get the bloodiest are the emerging leaders.  You know who I'm talking about, these are the people who tend to be the newest leaders.  They have to balance direction from higher management and the needs/desires of the followers.  In short, they are the leaders who are in the trenches, making decisions, and steering the boat, often with limited leadership experience as they lead from the front.Hi everyone, I'm Simon Kardynal, the host of Trench Leadership: A Podcast from the Front, a unique podcast about leadership dedicated to helping emerging leaders build their leadership foundation.  Trench Leadership is about all of us sharing our knowledge and experiences in a fresh and honest manner so that we can all learn from each other, and hopefully have some fun along the way.  I'll do this by using personal and professional front-line experiences as a leader over 26 years in the Canadian Armed Forces.  But let's be clear, this podcast is NOT only going to talk about military leadership.  My podcast will be a blend of solo episodes as well as single and group guest speakers from diverse professions and backgrounds, for example, non-profit, unions, private and public sectors, military, entertainment, sports, you name it, and we are all coming together to share our tips, advice, tools, and inspiration to help you succeed.  Trench Leadership: A Podcast from the Front, will launch on Monday, July Twelfth with three full episodes, and I can't wait to start learning and leading with you from the front, see you then!To discover more about the show, head on over to trenchleadership.ca where you will find more information about the show, me, the guests, bonus content, and helpful links to leadership-related information.Trench Leadership: A Podcast From the Front is produced by iglen Studios, music by Ashamaluev Music.
