Special guest John Buccigross Long-time studio host and Play-by-Play man for the NHL on ESPN joins us to cover the Stanley Cup Playoff Preview Show. Focus is on the teams strengths, weaknesses, and key factors that could influence the outcomes, such as coaching styles, player performances, and injuries. Predictions for each series and in depth discussion on the New York Rangers vs. Washington Capitals, Carolina Hurricanes vs. New York Islanders, Florida Panthers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning, Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs, and Winnipeg Jets vs. Colorado Avalanche. Potential upsets, and standout players are shared alongside the analysis of team structures, and goaltending merits. They end with rapid fire questions and who they are predicting to win the Stanley Cup. So buckle up, hockey fans and don't miss this action packed episode! IN THIS EPISODE: [02:10] Rangers vs. Capitals: Strategies and Expectations[12:09] Carolina vs. Islanders: Analyzing Strengths and Weaknesses[19:37] Panthers vs. Lightning: A Battle of Skill vs. Grit[27:55] Bruins vs. Maple Leafs: A Historic Rivalry Rekindled[39:40] Jets vs. Avalanche: Analyzing the Central Division Showdown[43:44] The Great Goalie Debate: Hellebuyck vs. Georgiev[44:30] Colorado's Determination and Goaltending Dilemma[48:22] Vegas Golden Knights: From Champions to Underdogs[49:00] Dallas Stars: A Deep Dive into Their Strengths[56:14] Vancouver vs. Nashville: An Intriguing Matchup[01:04:12] LA Kings vs. Edmonton Oilers: A Tough Battle Ahead[01:12:59] Playoff Predictions and Final Thoughts KEY TAKEAWAYS: Across different playoff series, strategic matchups are crucial. For example, in the Carolina-Islanders series, Carolina's strong special teams, particularly their power play, could pose a significant challenge for the Islanders' weaker penalty-killing unit.Some series, like Florida vs. Tampa Bay, showcase a clash of styles. Florida's physicality and depth against Tampa Bay's skill and playoff experience create an intriguing matchup. The outcome might hinge on factors like power play success and bottom-six contributions.The coaches' influence on their respective teams is significant, particularly in terms of adapting strategies and motivating players. Knobloch's structural changes with the Oilers improved defensive numbers and goaltending, showcasing the impact a new coach can have mid-season.The path to the Stanley Cup Finals is critical. Teams like Edmonton and Florida are favored due to their potentially favorable matchups in the early rounds, providing them with a smoother path to the Conference Finals.Players who could unexpectedly shine in the playoffs, like Michael McCarran of Nashville or Tomasz Hurdl of Vegas, could significantly impact their teams' playoff runs. Identifying these potential breakout performers adds an element of unpredictability to the postseason.RESOURCE LINKS John Buccigross Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/buccigross/John Buccigross Website- https://www.bucciot.com/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBj1LV0-DMfBhcRPSJZLjAX: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith:

Great leaders are self-aware about their own strengths and encourage their teams to be as well. They harmonize everyone's strengths, including their own, so folks know when to lean in or rely on others. These leaders actively leverage strengths to achieve high performance, but it starts with being willing and curious about your strengths.Today, Brandon Miller and I talk about the GALLUP Clifton Strengths Finder - and I share a little about my results from 2016, and how they led to researching and writing The Empathy Edge! Brandon shares why you as a leader should care about strengths-based development, and the role emotional intelligence plays in it. We discuss the strength of empathy and how it influences organizational outcomes. And Brandon tells us about times when he's had to recommend decision makers use empathy to support their teams. We even talk about the shadow sides of some of the strengths. It's a fascinating discussion all you leaders and aspiring leaders will just love - and Brandon has a very special offer for all of you at the end, so stay tuned. Key Takeaways:Emotional intelligence, at its core, is thinking with our frontal lobe. It's just thinking logically, carefully and, at times, slowly, through situations.The strength of empathy and the dictionary definition of empathy are not the same thing. Even if you do not have the strength of empathy, you can be empathetic. Utilizing the strengths finder will allow your team to have a common language to talk about your strengths. "Any effective psychometric assessment gives the gift of self-awareness. I get to know myself and my best place, my worst place, and everything in the middle.

“The most responsible thing a human can do, either personally for their own development or the development of others, is play to a person's strengths." Brandon Miller is the founder and CEO of 34 Strong and one of the first 7 certified Gallup Clifton StrengthsFinder coaches in the world.

In this episode, I interview a technology company recruiter and talent acquisition partner in order to have a real conversation about the future of STEM for girls and children of color. If you haven't heard about STEM, it basically is any field that has a strong foundation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and/or Math. You may be wondering…why just focusing on girls and children of color. Well, jobs within the STEM field are some of the highest paying jobs with the least amount of individuals in the talent pool here in the U.S. We often have to recruit from overseas to fulfill positions. Not only that, the STEM field is White male dominated, and of minority populations, STEM fields consists of a large Asian representation. So it is important to understand that women and minority groups such as African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans are largely underrepresented, and you know who can change that narrative? YOU! You as a parent can position your children to consider a career in STEM - especially if they are in these underrepresented groups. After all, it is the wave of the future.

Chasing top-line revenue can be a path to self-destruction for entrepreneurs. What happens when you lose sight of your business sweet spot to chase revenue? On today’s episode, Darren Virassammy from 34 Strong joins Dr. Sabrina to share his previous work experiences as a team member in a company that had a tight sweet spot, then lost it. Darren and Dr. Sabrina share a mission to create great places to work and on today’s episode they dive deep into how Pumpkin Planning to define the business sweet spot is foundational to creating a highly profitable, great place to work. A tightly defined sweet spot makes it possible for team members to work from their strengths. Dr. Sabrina and Darren will be partnering again in the coming months to deliver “Leading Your Organization From Your Strengths” through Tap the Potential. Consider joining them as it is powerful training for your team! Darren is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of 34 Strong, comprised of a team that believes everyone deserves a great place to work and that any workplace can be great. A leading expert in the global employee-engagement community, the 34 Strong team leverages the strengths-based approach to human development to create massive shifts within organizations, both culturally and on the bottom line. He and his team have created sustainable change in small micro-businesses all the way up to large, organizational teams at the FDA, Bank of America, and the California Department of Public Health. Recently Darren has keynoted for Hitachi Global Women’s Conference, the Rotary World Peace Conference, the Professional Grounds Management Society, and author Mike Michalowicz’s ProfitCon. Darren’s 34 Strong business partner, Brandon Miller, is the co-author with his wife, Analyn Miller, of a strengths-based parenting book titled Play to Their Strengths, which was published in July 2019. Show Highlights: Darren shares how he worked for a company that unintentionally built teams that played to their strengths, and how smoothly their projects went. Then everything shifted. The owner of the company decided that job descriptions were going to be combined, and no longer would the team be able to play to their strengths. This eroded the sense of accountability. Darren relates how this transition negatively affected the team dynamics, and how team members experienced trust issues, clarity, and self-doubt. They went from engaged to highly disengaged. Although the company grew in revenue over the next year, the bottom line was massively threatened. The company grew, but the team didn’t. This was incredibly painful. Darren provides some examples of having to push back on a client trying to force him to violate the company’s immutable laws. In the construction industry, the idea is that you’ll be able to make it up in volume. This is a myth! Being set up for failure: Darren describes being a fire-fighter having to put out “fires” on other projects because an estimator was trying to manage a job. He questioned why more time wasn’t being spent training the estimators so they could be more successful in their projects. “Controlled burns” would have been spending the time to align talent and deciding which roles people stayed best in. Dr. Sabrina summarizes the Tap the Potential Solution for creating a highly profitable, great place to work. Dr. Sabrina and Darren discuss his experience with “Pumpkin Planning”, how Pumpkin Planning is not a “once and done” event, and how Darren’s team is looking at “Pumpkin Clients”, as well as “Pumpkin Fields”. Considering the quality of your revenue. What is the cost to acquire it?

I had five children, and each child had different strengths. In fact, the first two seemed so opposite, I wondered what the third child would be like while I was pregnant. Both girls struggled with math, and so I used Saxon math in my homeschool because that text keeps reviewing. Once the girls learned a concept, I didn't want them to forget. When my son came along, I used the same book, and he missed a lot of problems too. However, when he entered college, I learned my son excelled at math. That puzzled me, so I asked him why he found math hard. He told me math wasn't difficult. It was boring. He had a strength and I didn't know it. My guest this week was Analyn Miller. She and her husband wrote Play to Their Strengths, and they explain how to look for areas where your child is strong.
Whitney Johnson has been recognized as one of the world’s foremost management thought leaders by Thinkers 50 and Fortune magazine. She is an advisor, speaker and host of the weekly podcast, Disrupt Yourself. She joins Marcel Schwantes to discuss her recent book, Build An A-Team: Play to Their Strengths and Lead Them Up the Learning Curve, in which she shows leaders and managers how to reduce turnover and enhance loyalty by leading their team members up their current learning curve and designing their jobs to maximize learning and engagement. High growth organizations need high growth individuals. Whitney’s why is to provide ideas to make it less scary to continue to grow and develop. When you’re learning and growing, you are happy. [4:02] Marcel asks how music has influenced Whitney’s work. She responds that when she’s writing or giving a speech, she infuses musicality and structure. Also, music has taught her how to listen and interact deeply with others. This impacts her speeches and her coaching. [5:23] We disrupt ourselves many times throughout our lives. The difference between business and personal disruption is that with personal disruption you're both the disrupter and the incumbent. [8:09] If leaders allow their people to disrupt themselves, to learn and leap, these employees will help the business be a high growth organization. If you let them disrupt themselves, you as an organization will not get disrupted, Whitney says. [8:52] The S-curve of learning is a framework for high employee engagement. Disruption is really about people. Whitney describes the S-curve framework and what managers can do at each point to lead their team along. [10:00] Whitney lists the seven accelerants for leading people along the S-curve of learning: Take the right risks; Know your distinctive strengths; Embrace constraints or impose the right constraints; Battle entitlement; Step back in order to grow; Give failure its due; Be driven by discovery. [13:00] This framework of personal destruction allows you to accelerate and move up the S-curve quickly so that you can learn, leap and repeat quickly. The faster you can do that, the higher growth individual you become. [21:01] When someone you’re managing is at the top of the curve, you can help push them back into the sweet spot by either getting them a coach, letting them mentor others or by stretching them. [21:35] Marcel asks how fear-based management styles affect the learning curve. Whitney says that fear means that there isn’t enough for me as a manager. "So when I have people on an S-curve and they're in the sweet spot, I might start to feel threatened by them." Another way that fear affects the learning curve is when a leader has a high performer on his team who is ready to leap forward, the leader may not want to allow the team member to do so because it would affect his or her future prospects. [25:19] Organizations whose business models are built on command and control find it hard to create a sense of belonging because the structure itself does not allow for it. [27:25] The best advice Whitney would give to managers is to understand where your people are on the S-curve and manage them accordingly. When you do that, you will find that everyone is a high performer. [30:42] Resources WhitneyJohnson.com Disrupt Yourself Podcast, episode 120 Email Marcel: marcel@loveinaction.club

Darren Virassammy is the co-founder and COO of 34 Strong, comprised of a team that believes everyone deserves a great place to work and that any workplace can be great.

Darren’s 34 Strong business partner, Brandon Miller is the co-author (with his wife Analyn Miller) of a strengths-based parenting book titled Play to Their Strengths which was released in July of 2019. Random fun facts about Darren: He is an electric bassist and closed down Profit Con 2018 by performing a solo bass guitar piece he composed titled Metamorphosis as a tribute to the journey of entrepreneurs. He holds a black belt in Kyokushin Karate, a 3rd degree brown belt in Aki-jujitsu and loves training in and teaching Martial arts. He enjoys daily cold showers, Wim Hof Breathing and regular cold water plunges. As a result, his wife and kids (and many on his team and others who find this out about him) think he is certifiably insane. In today’s conversation, Darren shares the essence to creating great workplaces and engaging teams. By fostering an environment where each person can play to their strengths, team members are more motivated, confident and can tangibly point to the value they bring to the organization. In turn, the organization benefits from greater synergy, increased creativity, motivation and productivity. Darren provides valuable insights into how you can apply this approach to any business and team, small or large. Key Takeaways Everyone deserves a great place to work and that any workplace can be great. Talents are defined as our natural patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can be productively applied. In school we are conditioned to focus on our greatest areas of weakness rather than our strengths. We can focus on improving our weaknesses and get to a level of mediocrity. The real question is, what are we aiming for – mediocrity or excellence? Playing to our strengths includes owning where we shine and where we’re blind. When people are playing to their strengths, they are more energized, enthusiastic, and engaged. Over 65% of the US workforce is disengaged in some capacity. People want to be valued for being valuable. People are the lifeblood that flows through organizations. You can’t have a healthy organization with unhealthy lifeblood flowing through it. Culture is created every single day. One email, one phone call, one conversation at a time. Do you want to create culture by design or by accident? Either way, it’s going to happen. As a consultant you are not the change agent, you are the guide. The true measure of a leader is not what happens while they’re there, it’s what happens when they’re not. We often undervalue what we are a genius in because it is so easy. Yet that’s what people value in us. Celebrate your failures because they make you who you are. Own your mistakes and ask what you can learn from it.

I remember connecting with Whitney Johnson years ago on Twitter. Her posts were always brimming with insight. But her game is innovation and the focus of this podcast is marketing. So, how could I have her on? Didn't seem possible. Then she came out with a great book--Build an A-Team: Play to Their Strengths and Lead Them Up the Learning Curve and I wanted to have her on so the managers, directors, VPs and CMOs in my audience would gain from her insight. It was a great discussion that closed out the first season of CoaM. I present it here as we head into a quiet holiday week in the US so you can contemplate her wisdom as you flip burgers and laze around in the sun.Episode NotesBuild an A-Team - Disrupting yourself is a way of life around here, so it’s only natural that it is my turn to be disrupted.Meet Whitney - Whitney Johnson is one of the 50 leading business thinkers in the world (Thinkers50) and an expert on disruptive innovation and personal disruption, a framework codified in the critically-acclaimed book Disrupt Yourself: Putting the Power of Disruptive Innovation to Work as well as well as the award-winning Build an “A” Team: Play To Their Strengths and Lead Them Up the Learning Curve, published by Harvard Business Press in 2018.
In this week's Five Good Questions, we're interviewing Brandon Miller about his book, Play to Their Strengths. Brandon Miller is a certified Strengths Coach through the Gallup Organization and has been coaching and training strengths for over fifteen years. He is CEO of 34 Strong Inc, an employee engagement and strengths-based development consultancy. Five Good Questions: 1. Could you explain the equation “Talent x Investment = Strength”? 2. We always tell children they can be anything they want to be if they work hard. I was surprised when you called that a lie. Why is that common idea wrong? 3. In your book, you talk about the before and after picture of your family, what has changed and how do you measure success? 4. What’s the “positive sandwich” with respect to punishment? 5. What’s the most common mistake parents make, and a possible solution?
#105—Disruption: Managing Your Career Whenever I feel stuck or I’m looking for a mentor, career-wise, one of my favorite things to do is to identify people whose careers I really admire, and watch them from afar. I study how they work, what they’ve done and what changes for them over time. I learned about Whitney Johnson after I read her first book, Dare, Dream, Do. It’s about building dreams for your life, and it has so many useful applications for that time period of transition in your career after becoming a parent when you can dream up what your future life can look like. So, when I reached out and asked her to be on the show, I was floored when she said yes. It’s always a particular joy when you get to connect with someone you’ve watched and learned from for a long time. Innovation, disruption, and management theory Whitney is an innovation and disruption theorist, and an executive and performance.

And really and truly, it is going to be focussing on your strengths and the strengths of those around you that will take your business to that next level and my guest today is here to share his expertise on how we can do just that.

In this episode, Whitney Johnson discusses the secrets to creating an engaged and productive team as outlined in her book, Build an A-Team: Play to Their Strengths and Lead Them Up the Learning Curve. Johnson shares seven ways managers can support their team members’ journey up the curve. Take the right kind of risks—Help team members understand the difference between doing something just to compete, versus finding a problem that needs to be solved and creating the solution. Play to your distinctive strengths—Help team members identify what they are good at and let them apply their knowledge to those types of projects. Embrace your constraints—By identifying constraints and taking a hard look at them managers can help team members inspire innovation. Battle entitlement—Encourage team members to think about new ways of doing things. Just because a process has been in place for years, doesn’t mean it is the best process. Entitlement can kill innovation. Step back, down, or sideways to grow—Continually pushing forward is not always the best way to drive innovation. Help people understand the positive influence of stepping back to look at other possibilities. Give failure its due—Accept what you can learn from failure. It might be the very thing to catapult you up the learning curve. Be driven by discovery—Encourage your team to ask for feedback and use what they learn to discover things that might be holding them back. About The Ken Blanchard Companies The Ken Blanchard Companies is the global leader in management training.

Benjamin Hardy was going nowhere. After barely graduating high school, he admits that he spent 12-15 hours a day playing World of Warcraft while living at his cousin’s house with no job. He wanted to be better, but didn’t know how to take that desire and transform it into action. It wasn’t until Benjamin’s environment changed that he realized he had the capacity to be different. Years later, Benjamin is a foster parent to three children, one of the top contributors on Medium, a PhD candidate in psychology, and author of the powerful and compelling book, Willpower Doesn’t Work. In our conversation, Benjamin shares that even though he is an avid consumer of self improvement books, the popular concept that all change comes from within is at odds with what psychology studies have long shown—environment influences behavior. If an individual truly wants to change, they need to address environmental factors that encourage their existing behavior patterns. Benjamin is generous in this interview, not only in his advice to those who seek change but also to those who are looking to write and get their work published as he did. He shows how it is possible to go from “dreamer” to “do-er,” and I hope that you enjoy our conversation.

The city has a secret food chain, a hidden game of predator and prey playing out in every alley, every shadowy corner and bangin’ nightclub. The Kindred - vampires, werewolves, and a hundred others - hunt humans for food and pleasure. They have ruled the night for centuries, but the game is about to change. There’s a new predator in town, and it feeds on jerks. Hybrids, born of mixed Kindred lineages, but stronger than any of them, and twice as cool. ----------- All of Their Strengths is an action-packed role-playing game of tinted sunglasses, silver-lined swords, and ultra-violet bullets. Take on the role of the Hybrids waging a secret war on the Kindred. Play as a werewolf-witch, a ghost-mummy, or the always classic half-human, half-vampire. Grab your throwing stars, put on your PVC long-coat, and touch up your sweet tribal tats. The War of Shadows is waiting.
