Why are the most powerful leadership abilities labeled as "soft skills"? Anna and Kendall challenge this terminology while exploring how vulnerability and emotional intelligence create transformative workplace culture, inspired by insights from Esther Perel's recent interview on Diary of a CEO."I don't like the term soft skills. Let it be known as well," Anna declares, highlighting how these abilities represent some of the most challenging and impactful leadership competencies. Both hosts emphasize that healing professionals naturally develop these skills through their training, making them uniquely positioned for trauma-informed leadership.The conversation delves into the delicate balance of showing vulnerability as a leader while maintaining professional boundaries. Kendall shares how they create "safe containers" during team meetings where both staff and leadership can authentically share challenges without compromising workplace effectiveness."There is still an understanding that we can't let our home lives impact our work here," Kendall explains, illustrating the nuanced approach required when implementing these principles in healthcare settings.Both hosts discuss practical strategies for creating environments where team members feel safe requesting support, from regular check-ins to modeling vulnerability as leaders. They emphasize the importance of "efforting"—their term for the intentional work required to maintain high-quality team dynamics and patient care.The episode offers valuable insights for wellness practice owners seeking to develop emotional intelligence, improve communication, and create workplace cultures where both clinician support and employee well-being thrive through authentic leadership approaches.For information regarding the upcoming retreat, go to: https://www.wellnesscentercreators.com/retreatsGet all the links, resources and show notes here: https://wellnesscentercreators.comSponsored by Jane App, Jane offers online booking, charting, scheduling, secure video and invoicing on one secure, beautifully designed system: https://jane.app/ Use code wellness1mo for a one-month grace period on your new Jane account.

Smith, Founder and CEO of Rare Placement, for a wide-ranging conversation on modern leadership, executive search, and the future of talent in the retail industry.James brings an exceptional career journey to the mic, beginning in advertising with agencies like Grey and Ogilvy, moving into marketing leadership at Citibank, in leadership roles at Esquire and then Conde Nast Traveller—where he helped it become the top-performing title, even outpacing Vogue.

He stresses that succession planning should be an ongoing, layered strategy, and reminds executives that “people buy leaders, not logos.”We also explore the increasing importance of board roles—both fiduciary and advisory—and how executives can position themselves for these opportunities by knowing what they uniquely bring to the table.Whether you're a retail executive planning your next move, a CEO rethinking your leadership team, or a rising leader wondering how to stand out, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

Dans cet épisode, je reçois Laura Bokobza, sparring partner de CEOs et autrice de la newsletter « Le comment du pourquoi ». Laura partage sans détour sa vision :L'IA ne sert à rien si on ne sait pas s'en servir.Elle insiste sur le risque d'abandonner son esprit critique et de devenir dépendant des outils sans comprendre ce qu'ils produisent.Nous parlons des usages concrets de l'IA dans le travail, des limites à ne pas franchir, des dangers pour nos relations humaines, et du rôle clé des parents dans l'éducation des enfants au numérique. Laura revient aussi sur la place des femmes dans la tech et les illusions autour de l'inclusion par l'IA.À retenir dans cet épisode :L'IA peut accélérer nos prises de décision, mais pas remplacer le raisonnementLa facilité technologique peut nous faire perdre des compétences si on délègue toutLe vrai risque n'est pas l'IA elle-même, mais notre manière de l'utiliser sans reculL'autonomie professionnelle passe par la compréhension des outils, pas par leur rejetL'IA ne sait pas tout, surtout quand elle improvise sur des sujets complexesDévelopper son esprit critique est plus important que jamais dans un monde d'IAL'IA transforme la manière dont on apprend, mais pas la nécessité d'apprendreLes soft skills prennent de la valeur à mesure que les tâches techniques s'automatisentLa meilleure façon de rester pertinent, c'est de cultiver son jugementL'innovation doit être accompagnée d'une vraie réflexion sur les usagesUn épisode qui invite à prendre du recul sur nos pratiques, à comprendre l'impact réel de l'IA, et à ne jamais oublier que notre capacité à raisonner… ne se délègue pas.

Send us a textEpisode Notes: The difference between a good collision repair shop and a truly exceptional one often boils down to one critical factor: how people feel when they interact with your business. Join us this week as Sheryl Driggers, former MSO owner and now lead CSR trainer for Mike Anderson's elite Spartan Groups, reveals the science and strategy behind creating meaningful connections that transform both customer experience and employee satisfaction.Here are three effective actions collision shop leaders can take from Sheryl's insights:Cultivate a Positive Environment: Focus on creating a positive workplace atmosphere. Encourage a culture where positivity is the norm, as it enhances decision-making, creativity, and productivity. This can be achieved by recognizing and celebrating small wins, offering support, and fostering open communication among team members.Enhance Emotional Connections: Train your staff to prioritize emotional intelligence in customer interactions. Encourage them to go beyond standard service protocols by making customers feel valued and understood. Simple gestures like personalized follow-ups or remembering customer preferences can create memorable experiences that enhance customer loyalty.Implement the "One Degree" Concept: Encourage your team to consistently perform small, thoughtful actions that exceed customer expectations. This could include personalized thank-you notes, unexpected discounts, or simply going the extra mile in service delivery. These minor enhancements can significantly impact customer satisfaction and lead to increased referrals and repeat business.Taking these actions, rooted in positive human interactions, can transform both your customer service and employee engagement, driving long-term success for your business! GUEST CONTACTSheryl Driggers - sheryl@collisionadvice.comCollisionAdvice – www.collisionadvice.comShawn Achor Ted Talk: https://youtu.be/GXy__kBVq1M?si=robDiWbKpUVOTuaAThe Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: https://wSupport the showJoin our Mind Wrench mailing list!

Send us a textWhen was the last time you heard a positive story about what happens inside America's jails? For most of us, these facilities only make headlines when something goes wrong—an escape, a use-of-force incident, or a facility failure. But as Major Shaun Klucznik reveals in this compelling conversation, corrections professionals save lives, change futures, and demonstrate extraordinary leadership every single day, largely without recognition.Major Klucznik's remarkable journey from a 19-year-old corrections cadet to the 45th President of the American Jail Association offers a window into how corrections work and builds exceptional leaders. Starting at $5.60 an hour in 1997, he rose through the ranks while witnessing the profession's transformation. His pivotal role in transitioning Hernando County Jail from private to public operation showcases the complex management challenges correctional leaders navigate."Every position is a position of leadership," Klucznik emphasizes, noting how correctional officers develop crucial skills managing challenging situations with minimal resources beyond their communication abilities. This crucible of leadership development explains why so many officers become community leaders outside work—coaching youth sports, leading religious programs, and serving their communities.The conversation delves into the critical role Field Training Officers play in shaping agency culture, the need for transparent communication with the public about both successes and failures, and how leadership philosophies like Jocko Willink's "Extreme Ownership" create empowered, accountable correctional teams. Klucznik also addresses the profession's fight for recognition as first responders, noting correctional officers are first on scene for suicide attempts, medical emergencies, and facility crises.Whether you work in corrections or simply want to understand this essential but often invisible profession, this episode provides invaluable insights into the leadership, professionalism, and dedication that define America's correctional workforce. As Klucznik powerfully argues, corrections isn't a stepping stone—it's a legitimate career where professionals make life-changing differences every E-mail Shaun at shaunk@aja.orgAmerican Jail Association https://www.americanjail.org/Mentioned by Shaun - Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and WinAlso, check out Michael's newest book - POWER SKILLS: Emotional Intelligence and Soft Skills for Correctional Officers, First Responders, and Beyond PepperBallFrom crowd control to cell extractions, the PepperBall system is the safe, non-lethal option.OMNIOMNI is cutting-edge software designed to track inmates and assets within your prison or jail.

How do you grab the attention of the smartest person in the room and introduce an idea that could fundamentally change their approach to leadership? In this insightful episode of Leveraging Thought Leadership, Gina Catalano, President of Central Forza Group and author of The Leadership Wake Up Call, joins Bill Sherman to discuss her pioneering work in developing emotional intelligence (EQ) for surgeon leaders—a skill set largely overlooked in traditional medical training. Gina shares how her journey from managing medical device teams in Fortune 500 healthcare organizations led her to recognize a critical gap: Surgeons possess extraordinary technical skills but often lack training in emotional intelligence. Her unique insight is transforming how surgeons engage with patients, teams, and even mitigate malpractice risks. She explains the compelling data behind EQ's impact, highlighting research correlating higher EQ among surgeons with lower malpractice claims. Gina also details her groundbreaking project with Duke University's general surgery residency, where she's building a curriculum to instill essential EQ skills early in surgical training. Listeners will learn how Gina's personal experiences and keen observations evolved into a compelling speaking and writing career, all centered around equipping elite performers with the "power skills" needed for true leadership success. This episode isn't just about developing better surgeon leaders—it's about creating profound, measurable changes that enhance patient care and team performance.   Three Key Takeaways: • Emotional intelligence is critical for elite performance — Especially in high-pressure fields like surgery, EQ impacts malpractice rates, team dynamics, and patient outcomes. • Thought leadership bridges knowledge gaps — Introducing EQ to surgeon leaders requires translating soft skills into evidence-based, practical tools that resonate with data-driven professionals. • Early intervention creates lasting change — Embedding emotional intelligence training into medical residency programs can shape more effective leaders from the start. If this episode got you thinking about the power of emotional intelligence in high-performance environments, you'll want to keep going with our conversation with David Wood: The Effects of Soft Skills in Thought Leadership. Both episodes tackle a common challenge—how to introduce and scale “soft skills” like EQ in expert-driven fields where they're often undervalued. Gina Catalano and David Wood each show that these so-called soft skills are actually mission-critical for leadership, trust-building, and long-term success. Listen now and discover how soft skills can create hard results.

Send us a textWendy Dixon-Jewitt is on a mission. As the founder and CEO of Brainstorm Soft Skill Solutions, she strongly advocates for creating safer and more sustainable nursing workplaces, and her passion is unmistakable. Early in her career, Wendy encountered a toxic nursing culture, which she described as "100% responsibility with zero authority to get the necessary tasks done." It's alarming to think about how many nurses have left the profession due to such circumstances. But Wendy did not walk away; instead, she pivoted her focus toward developing her soft skills.Wendy describes soft skills as “everything that happens in the space between people.” She believes one-on-one interactions are where we will transform healthcare. It's about nurses showing up. And it's not easy to show up, to speak up. After all, nurses are as she believes, “dealing with hierarchies, power infrastructures, and oppression and they are taking a risk every time they open their mouth.” Wendy knows some of her views are controversial but maybe that's what the nursing profession needs; a little controversy to shake things up. Through her leadership and training, she is determined to help us find our voice. Wendy developed Universal Precautions for Emotional Dysregulation—a proactive, skills-based framework for reducing the risk of verbal abuse, emotional harm, and professional burnout. Brilliant. We're talking de-escalation, boundary-setting, and building team resilience.

Armed with a STEM qualification or two, you might think technical brilliance is all one needs to succeed in the space sector. Is this the case though? In this week's episode of The Mindtools L&D Podcast, Ross D and Anna are joined by Victoria Craig to discuss: the importance of ‘soft' skills in a ‘hard' science environment; sector-specific skills gaps; how L&D can bridge these gaps. In ‘What I Learned This Week', Ross reminisced about playing a Sega game called Mickey Mania. Take a look at the game's Wikipedia page. For more from us, visit mindtools.com. There, you'll also find details of our award-winning performance support toolkit, our off-the-shelf e-learning, and our custom work.   Connect with our speakers    If you'd like to share your thoughts on this episode, connect with us on LinkedIn: Ross Garner Dr Anna Barnett Victoria Craig

DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint     I promise that I'm not adding "one more thing" to your to-do list. But, the summer typically means a bit of a break from academics for homeschool families. The curriculum is great, but if you child is not prepared for the world when they step out on their own, they'll have a lot of catching up to do, no matter what level of math they achieved, the science experiments you did, or the classic books they've read. Don't get me wrong, those things are fine. But, there is more to life than book knowledge.  There is real life where they'll need to know how to interact, get along with, and function well with others, if for no other reason than for their Christian witness. I'm hoping you have a little more brain space with your usual routine set aside for the summer to focus on teaching and growing soft skills in your homeschooler of any age. I've got a lot of ideas for you...pick 1 or 2 that seem the most important and see how you can be intentional this summer! ♥ Leigh       LITTLE BY LITTLE HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE TICKETS:  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/conference   GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome      Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.subscribemenow.com/ Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeschoollifestylecommunity  Follow - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Connect - info@littlebylittlehomeschool.com   Listen to these related episodes: 131.
