Stop Outsourcing Culture to HR From Toxic to Terrific: Small moments create big shifts Episode 256 (Mike is based in Canmore, Alberta) ---- In this conversation we explore: The difference between workplace culture and humor—and how humor supports culture. Why culture is a company's number one competitive advantage. The visible and invisible signs of strong or weak workplace culture. The impact of leadership on shaping and sustaining culture. Why every employee contributes to culture—not just HR or leadership. How intentional values and small behaviors shape long-term culture. The difference between healthy and toxic conflict at work. Simple, practical ways to assess and improve workplace culture. How humor, rituals, and fun foster psychological safety and team connection. The concept of an "umbrella value" and its influence on decision-making. ----- About our guest, Michael Kerr: Mike is the author of 9 books, including, The Jerk-Free Workplace, The Humor Advantage and Small Moments, Big Outcomes: How Leaders Create Cultures That Fuel Extraordinary Results. Learn more about Mike Kerr, his services and books at https://mikekerr.com/ ----- Key Learning Points from the Interview Culture is a Competitive Advantage Culture impacts productivity, retention, customer loyalty, and overall performance more than strategy alone. Mojo Matters Mojo is the vibe or energy of a workplace—it can be felt and should be maintained intentionally. Humor Fuels Culture Humor isn't fluff; it builds psychological safety, encourages engagement, and reduces burnout. Leadership Sets the Tone Leaders act as culture conductors. Their words, mood, and mindset ripple through teams. Everyone Owns Culture Culture isn't HR's job alone. Every employee contributes to culture in every interaction. Small Moments Have Big Outcomes A culture is shaped more by consistent small gestures than by grand slogans or posters. Define and Live Your Values Real values are reflected in daily decisions, not corporate posters. Misaligned values create cynicism. Conflict is Inevitable—Make It Constructive Healthy cultures allow disagreement without blame or fear. Psychological safety matters. Assess Culture With Gut Checks and Simple Questions Ask: Would you recommend this workplace to a friend? What's one thing you'd change? Culture Attracts Talent Great cultures draw top talent. But to win them, you must showcase culture honestly and creatively. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

Figuring out how to notice leadership in your teen can feel so overwhelming, but you're not alone! Check out these 5 Fresh Tips to help notice leadership in your teen with teen leadership coach Lorraine Connell.You can learn more about Lorraine Connell on her Fresh Starts Profile.5 Fresh Tips to help you notice leadership skills in your teenager:Notice the Small Moments of Initiative: Leadership isn't always loud. Pay attention to when a teen takes action without being asked—whether it's helping a peer, asking thoughtful questions, or problem-solving on their own. These moments reveal natural leadership tendencies that often go unnoticed.Encourage Decision-Making: Give teens the space to make choices and own the outcomes. Whether it's picking their classes for next year, leading a group discussion, or making a personal decision, every choice builds confidence in their ability to lead.Redefine Leadership Beyond Popularity: Many teens (and adults) think leaders are only the loudest, most outgoing, or the ones with titles. True leadership comes in many forms—from quiet resilience to leading by example. Help teens see leadership in themselves by pointing out strengths like empathy, problem-solving, and persistence.Celebrate Mistakes as Learning Opportunities: Teens often fear failure, but mistakes are where real leadership growth happens. When they try, fail, and try again, they build resilience. Encourage reflection by asking, “What did you learn from this?” instead of focusing on what went wrong.Give Them Opportunities to Lead in Everyday Situations: Leadership isn't just for student council or team captains. It happens in group projects, family settings, friendships, and online spaces. Ask them, “How can you lead in your own way today?” and watch their confidence grow!

Why copying someone else's routine—like Tiger or Bryson—isn't the answer. The difference between striving for progress vs. striving for perfection. Practical strategies to break free from negative self-talk during a round. The power of mindfulness and micro-moments to re-center your focus.

More About Jody From the earliest days as a coach, Jody has had a deep fascination with performance. His coaching journey started as a cricket coach and very early on he realised that performance is not just about having good skills and fitness. He learned that the mind (thought and feelings) or rather lack of mind during performance is a far greater indicator of performance. Now he partners with athletes who want to understand themselves and in doing so, design and build the lifestyle and processes that allow them to show up as their best consistently. www.jodymartins.co  @realjodymartins @performanceformulapodcast Play to Your Potential On (and Off) the Course Schedule a Mindset Coaching Discovery Call Subscribe to the More Pars than Bogeys Newsletter Download my “Play Your Best Round” free hypnosis audio recording.

Connect your habits to your long-term goals, like improving focus or building resilience. Perfection Is the Enemy of Growth: Instead of aiming for perfection, aim for consistent improvement. Learn from your mistakes rather than fearing them. Fail Beautifully, Learn Relentlessly: View failure as feedback. Each missed shot or poor round holds valuable lessons if you're willing to reflect. Redirect Your Focus with the W.I.N. Acronym: When distractions arise, ask yourself: "What's Important Next?" This helps you stay grounded and present for your next shot. Self-Awareness Builds Confidence: Notice negative self-talk and consciously shift to neutral or positive thinking. Practicing mindfulness helps you catch and redirect unhelpful thoughts. Choose Your Experience on the Course: Decide how you want to feel during your round—calm, focused, or joyful—and set the intention to create that experience, regardless of your score. Small Moments of Stillness Lead to Big Changes: Incorporate micro-moments of stillness—like focusing on your breath or tuning into the sound of the wind—to reset your mind and stay present. Key Quotes: "Routine becomes easier when it's tied to something bigger than yourself."  "Perfectionism breeds mediocrity. Progress is the real pursuit."  "The inner game drives the outer game."  "Choose the experience you want to have before you step onto the course." "Failure isn't final—it's feedback."  "Self-awareness is like upgrading your smart bomb—it improves your accuracy in life."  "Neutrality in your thoughts helps you build positive momentum over time."  Time Stamps: 00:00 Morning Routines and Their Impact 09:49 The Pursuit of Perfection vs. Growth Mindset 20:12 Choosing Your Experience in Sports 25:13 The Journey to Self-Awareness 29:05 Meditation and Focus: A Path to Clarity 35:41 Harnessing the Mind: Strategies for Course Correction 42:34 What's Important Next: A Focused Approach to Performance

When I was younger, I used to find leaves pressed between the pages of my mom's books. She never explained why they were there, but they always intrigued me. It felt like she was saving something special, even if it was just a leaf. Over time, I unknowingly picked up the habit. Now, whenever I see a leaf that catches my eye—its shape, its color, or just the way it feels—I take it with me and press it into one of my books. It's such a small thing, but it brings me real joy. And as it turns out, there's science behind why these little pleasures can make life feel so meaningful. Today, we're diving into how tiny, seemingly insignificant moments can activate your brain's reward system and boost your well-being. Key Takeaways:✅ Small details, like picking up a leaf, activate your brain's reward system.✅ The ventral striatum processes these micro-rewards, boosting dopamine.✅ Savoring small pleasures leads to greater happiness and satisfaction with life, according to positive psychology research.

In this episode, Phil reflects on his 2018 blog post 'Finding Pinecones,' emphasizing the significance of small moments in learning and connection. He shares a personal story about a child's unexpected favorite camp memory and discusses the impact of unplanned interactions during a training session with students from Iraq. Phil offers practical strategies for facilitators to enhance group dynamics, such as sharing meals, encouraging questions, and adapting to the group's needs. He concludes by highlighting the importance of flexibility in facilitation and the value of recognizing those small, impactful moments.   The small moments often have a bigger impact than we think. Unplanned interactions can lead to significant learning experiences. Eating meals together fosters connection and openness. Creating opportunities for questions enhances engagement. Flexibility in facilitation is crucial for meeting group needs. Listening to participants can reveal their true interests. Building relationships is key to effective group dynamics. Recognizing the value of simple moments can enrich experiences. Facilitators should be prepared to adapt their plans. Finding 'pinecones' can lead to unexpected insights.

In this episode, I shared my thoughts and experiences from a beautiful sunny day in Denver, Colorado. I started by expressing my excitement about a recent interview with Nelson Campbell and Dr. T. Colin Campbell, whose book, "The China Study," had a profound impact on my life. They have an upcoming special event in December, which I highly recommend checking out. I also talked about my mixed feelings while traveling alone, as I thrive on human interaction. Despite feeling a bit bummed, I found joy in small things like running on the treadmill, enjoying a free breakfast with delicious oatmeal and toppings, and discovering an Asian pear, which surprisingly lifted my spirits. Reflecting on my experiences, I emphasized the importance of gratitude and perspective. I shared how small moments and simple pleasures can bring immense happiness. I also touched on the significance of understanding different viewpoints and being non-judgmental, especially in interactions with others. Overall, I encouraged listeners to find their own "Asian pear"—a metaphor for small joys that can brighten their day. I hope this episode brings a little bit of loveliness to your day and inspires you to appreciate the simple things in life. Thank you for spending time with me, and I wish you all a wonderful day!
