We hear it all

In today's fast-paced and high-pressure work environment, it's easy for leaders to focus exclusively on results and processes, overlooking the fundamental truth: every person on a team matters. This was the central theme of my recent conversation with Jana Cardona, a seasoned coach specializing in team development, on the Lessons and Leadership podcast. If you like today's message, here are four ways I can help you grow faster… 1. Speak at your next event. 2. Conduct a full or half-day leadership training workshop. 3. VIP Client: Personal and professional 1:1 coaching. 4. Unlock the proven system I use to elevate my brand and business on LinkedIn, inspired by my collaboration with Tony Robbins. I specialize in mentoring coaches, and consultants frustrated that their businesses aren't growing fast enough. https://www.billstorm.com/ About Jana Cardona Gallup Certified Strengths Finder Coach, Emotional Intelligence Certification, Strengths Champion Certification, DISC Certification, 6 Types of Working Genius If you hear statements like “I'm just not measuring up” or “My employees aren't producing to the level I need” or, “This conflict is draining me” I would love to speak with them. Our workshops and coaching weave Emotional Intelligence and Strengths together. These two assessments mesh wonderfully to create a more harmonious individual and/or team dynamic. The first step in this journey is self-awareness. Learning that each one of us is uniquely designed builds self-worth and self-confidence. Identifying what excites and motivates you leads to better performance. As self-awareness builds, self-regulation improves. You learn to recognize how you interact with others and become more aware of how they perceive you. Learning to voice your differences in a meaningful way leads to more harmonious individual and team relationships and interactions. With self-awareness and self-regulation as the base, we can work on social awareness and social regulation. Family and Team dynamics, employee engagement and retention, and overall well-being begin to improve. https://designed-4-success.com/ Bill Storm is a seasoned advisor and consultant renowned for his expertise in driving peak performance and fostering effective leadership within Fortune 500 companies.

How can your identity become one of your greatest leadership strengths?   In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Shirley Collado, President and CEO of College Track. Previously, Shirley served as president of Ithaca College, executive vice chancellor and chief operating officer at Rutgers University-Newark, and executive vice president of The Posse Foundation.   Shirley and I discuss how women of color can embrace their identity as a superpower and lead authentically in spaces that may not always expect them to.  Define Your Narrative Shirley drew strength from her upbringing as a first-generation college graduate and daughter of Dominican immigrants to define herself as smart, capable, caring, and worthy of leadership. Show Up in Fullness As a Dominican-American woman leading in higher education, Shirley defied expectations. She reminds us to embrace our identity fully, even in spaces where others may not expect it, and to use our voice to challenge stereotypes. Model Possibility for Others Representation matters. Shirley's trailblazing career as the first Dominican-American president of a U.S. four-year college shows younger generations that leadership can come in diverse forms. Embrace the Strength in Differences Shirley highlights the unique strengths that come from being different, such as adaptability, resilience, and problem-solving, which first-gen students often possess.. Turn Perceived Deficits into Strengths What makes you different is what makes you strong. Shirley encourages reframing perceived disadvantages, like navigating multiple worlds, into assets that make you a more effective and resilient leader.   Thank you, Shirley, for sharing your incredible story with us and showing how embracing your full identity can empower you and others to thrive.   #WomenLeaders #WomenOfColorRise #IdentityLeadership #CollegeTrack   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/ep-91-see-your-identity-as-a-superpower-with-shirley-collado-president-and-ceo-of-college-track

How do childhood experiences mold our adult lives? Byron Ricks, Josh Wambrodt and Brandon Ricks invite you to explore this intriguing question on the Father Factor Podcast. Together, we promise to uncover the significant influence of childhood enablement on adulthood, featuring insights from Erik Erikson and Maria Montessori. Listen as we share personal stories, like how structured meal plans transformed our picky eaters into culinary adventurers, ready to embrace life's many flavors and challenges.As the conversation unfolds, we tackle the thorny issue of entitlement, dissecting its effects on personal relationships and society. Byron recounts an anecdote about dating someone with restricted food preferences, serving as a launching pad to examine parenting styles that cater excessively to children's whims. Through this lens, we discuss how societal attitudes towards challenges can inadvertently foster a sense of entitlement and leave individuals unprepared for adult responsibilities. By connecting these threads to everyday occurrences like road rage, we reveal the hidden complexities behind adult reactions when expectations fall short.In the final chapters, we delve into the role of parental enablement in shaping behavior. Through mentoring tales and school incidents, we highlight the consequences of a lack of boundaries and the cultural shift away from communal child-rearing practices. The episode concludes with a call to action for parents to reflect on their influence, stressing the importance of raising independent, responsible adults. We urge fathers to engage with us on our online platforms, reinforcing their indispensable role in their children's lives and inviting them to join the conversation with their unique insights.Support the show Keep in touch.Email: Brm2@fatherfactorpodcast.comFollow us on Instagram Like us on Facebookhttps://www.amazon.com/Searching-Dad-Effects-Fatherless-Overcome/dp/1934812129

Last week we had a great discussion on creating a blueprint for your 2025 season. We considered Strengths can open up opportunities for different types of races. If you are a strong cyclist and climber, you might excel on courses like Coeur d'Alene. A strong swimmer could take on an Oceanside or Escape from Alcatraz. If your weakness is open water or ocean swimming, Escape from Alcatraz is probably not your race, but maybe a down river swim like IM California or Chattanooga are. Deciding on A Race, etc Where are you on your journey? What is inspiring you? What do you want to accomplish? Where are you going with this? What distance? Training Blocks Connect back to the strategy, weaknesses and opportunities What has the greatest leverage on your season? Spend a month focusing on developing your weakest discipline Camps or Pool School If your greatest weakness is swimming, sign up for a Pool School and do a focus on perfecting your swim for block If your greatest weakness is bike speed or hills, do a bike camp, train for the triple bypass or century. If your weakness is your run, get a formal gait analysis and attend a running clinic.   Once you have the plan to put together your best season, you now have to implement it. If your plan requires changes like adding a strength routine, incorporating new drills, being more consistent, getting more sleep, or a multitude of other new habits, you need to be equipped with the 411 on building bullet proof habits or a habit home run!   To help us roll through this, I'm (Rich) going to ask the expert (April). Here we go. What is a habit? And how do they affect our thoughts and behavior? What are some examples of habits that triathletes either could or should have? Or put differently, what are the common places habits manifest in our triathlon rhythms? What is a Habit Loop? How can we best evaluate our current triathlon habits? And identify where to improve? Building a new habit Breaking an old habit? As coaches, what are the most common habits you like to see your athletes building or breaking?     303Triathlon News and Updates: Alistair Brownlee has announced this morning his retirement from professional triathlon, following his podium finish at the Dubai T100 Triathlon World Championship Final on Sunday.   Train With Coach Rich: Coach Rich Soares Rich.soares@tridot.com Rich Soares Coaching TriDot Signup - https://app.tridot.com/onboard/sign-up/richsoares RunDot Signup - https://app.rundot.com/onboard/sign-up/richsoares   Train with Coach April: Coach April Spilde April.spilde@tridot.com Grit2Greatness Endurance Podcast Podcast Series - Apple Podcasts TriDot Signup - https://app.tridot.com/onboard/sign-up/aprilspilde

Episode Insight: As you explore your strengths, remember by embracing what you do best, you aren't just advancing your career—you're stepping into a role that truly feels like your own. Discovering your strengths at work is essential to becoming a valuable contributor and finding fulfillment in your career. However, identifying what you're truly good at isn't always obvious. If you're unsure of your strengths, start by paying attention to moments when you feel in “flow.” These are the times when you're fully absorbed, energized, and productive, often working with ease and enjoyment. Flow moments reveal where your natural skills and interests meet the needs of your work, giving you clues about your core strengths. Feedback from others can also be insightful. Colleagues, managers, or mentors can often recognize strengths you may overlook. By asking those around you for honest feedback on where you add the most value, you can gain a fresh perspective on your unique skills and contributions. Notice, too, what work energizes you versus what drains you. Tasks that align with your strengths generally leave you feeling uplifted, while those outside your skill set can feel exhausting. Identifying the activities that bring you energy points you toward areas where you can excel and stay engaged. Additionally, reflect on your past accomplishments to uncover themes in your successes. Big or small, these achievements often highlight your core strengths. To discover new potential strengths, consider stepping outside your comfort zone by taking on fresh responsibilities or projects. Experimenting with different types of work can uncover skills you never knew you had, revealing new areas of growth while building your confidence. Emphasizing your strengths rather than focusing on your weaknesses allows you to bring unique value to your team and organization. Leveraging what you're naturally good at not only makes you more productive and innovative but also enhances your sense of purpose at work. By aligning your strengths with your daily tasks, you create a fulfilling work experience that enables you to contribute meaningfully. Recognizing and developing your strengths brings a powerful mix of satisfaction, engagement, and sustainable career growth—a combination that benefits both you and your organization.
