Podcast appearances and mentions of will wise

Many of us, myself included, are obsessed with solutions.  And while this makes sense, especially when we find ourselves in times of challenge and uncertainty as we do these days.  What if asking questions was more powerful than finding answers?  On this episode, I discuss this dynamic and the paradoxical nature of curiosity.  Asking questions can lead to authentic connection and important innovation.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins YouTube Channel Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on BlueSky Ask Powerful Questions (book), by Chad Littlefield and Will Wise

See all the details and contribute to the discussion over at our blog.

On this week's episode of Open, Emma is joined by former professional basket ball player, Will Wise. At the end of 2022, having had no prior symptoms, Will was diagnosed with Phaeochromocytoma - tumour of the adrenal gland and also, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 which is a rare disorder that causes tumours in the endocrine glands and organs. Wills' life changed in an instant on what started off as a regular day, but whilst going through treatment and determined not to be defined by the disease, he founded #cancerbae - a movement focused on reshaping perceptions of cancer. Will uses his social media platforms to break down taboos and preconceived notions of what stage four cancer ‘looks like' whilst showing that we can still say yes to and embrace life, in all it's complicated glory.Follow Will on Instagram and TikTok - @willwise24 (cancerbae)Emma Campbell - @limitless_emwww.limitlessem.comOpen with Emma Campbell is produced by Pretty Fire Audio Productions @prettyfireaudioproductions

On this episode of The Coaching Podcast, we delve into the highs and lows of coaching. Our guest is business development coach, Chris Lazzuri who authentically and honestly shares an early coaching experience about the pitfalls of labeling someone as 'uncoachable' prematurely and emphasizes the importance of dropping excuses, being adaptable, and seeking common ground. Discover the power of guiding individuals to realizations they never considered on their own, using thought-provoking questions to unveil new perspectives. As we navigate through the episode, we examine the concept of burnout, explore the qualities that make a great coach through the "ACE" framework, and gain insights into performance management conversations. We talk about the dynamics of the hybrid workplace, and a compelling reminder that in the ever-evolving landscape of professional success, soft skills overwhelmingly contribute to 85% of job success. So, whether you're a seasoned coach or someone eager to enhance your coaching skills, this episode promises a wealth of insights to elevate your coaching game. Some of the highlights include; 2.28: Worst coaching moments: Be mindful not to judge someone as 'uncoachable' from the beginning! Drop the excuses, be adaptable, and find common ground. Watch: Indecisive People Have A Hard Time Succeeding - Ed Mylett 6.33: Best coaching moments: When someone comes to a realization that they never would have thought of on their own providing them with a new perspective. For example, ask the following questions: What is your end goal? Why do you want to achieve that? What is it that you value? How are you aligned with what you are trying to accomplish with that value? What does success look like? What are some potential roadblocks? What scares you about the opportunities? "Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!" (Sir Walter Scott, 1808) Shakespearean' phrase. 10.26: Sliding Doors: Burnout. 14.47: What Makes a Great Coach? "ACE" Authenticity - Stay true to yourself. Do people know what to expect? Curiosity - Stay curious like you were as a kid and assume a positive intent! Check out: About Chad Littlefield - We and Me Book: Ask Powerful Questions which Chad wrote with Will Wise refers to the fact children ask 300 plus questions a day while adults ask 70. Empathy - Understand a person's values and perspective. 20.59: What is it that you have learned the most about yourself from coaching? Emma: That sometimes less is more. Chris: Learning how to not take criticism personally. Listen, validate, and share. 26.38: Performance management conversations: Be authentic and use the SBI model: S = Situation - Explain the specific situation. B = Behavior - Identify the behavior. I = Impact - What was the impact on you, the business, and/or your feelings? Then talk through it together. SBI https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/closing-the-gap-between-intent-vs-impact-sbii/ 29.48: Hybrid workplace discussion. 34.55: If you are a technical expert, learn how to ask more questions because this will support and retain your people. Decades ago, in a research study conducted by Harvard University in conjunction with the Carnegie Foundation and Stanford Research Center, it was found that 85% of job success comes from having well‐developed soft and people skills, and only 15% of job success comes from technical skills and knowledge (hard skills).

Kristyn Komarnicki started Oriented to Love 13 years ago, almost accidentally, in an effort to include the voices of gay people who weren't present in Christian spaces that she was involved in. Since then, this program, under the aegis of the Christians for Social Action, has become deeper, broader, and more intentional about engaging Christians who have different stances on LGBT topics and bringing them into dialogue with each other. We talked with Kristyn about how she facilitates dialogues between people with very different convictions. We appreciate her work: in helping us ask better questions. In practicing care. In becoming oriented toward love. We hope you'll join us! About Our Guest: Kristyn Komarnicki is director of dialogue and convening at Christians for Social Action (CSA). The creator of CSA's Oriented to Love dialogues about sexual/gender diversity in the church, Kristyn gathers Christians of different sexual orientations, gender identities, and theological convictions together so they can begin to know, understand, and love each other, in search of a unity that is deeper than agreement. Fascinated and encouraged by what happens when we approach our “other” in the posture of a learner—with vulnerability, bravery, curiosity and humility—Kristyn enjoys helping people have more generative conversations, reframing conflict not as something to be feared or avoided but as an opportunity for maturing in Christ. A xenophile who loves to travel and swap stories with people from around the world, Kristyn has studied and worked on three continents, having made a home in Paris, Toronto, and Hong Kong. Today she lives in Philadelphia with her husband of over 30 years. — Note: This episode uses the terms “Side A” and “Side B” (and X, Y) as shorthand quite a bit.

About this Episode Time Stamps Q&A About our Guests Resources In this extended conversation (part 2 of 2), podcast host Annette Stevenson and best-selling authors, professional facilitators and speakers, Will Wise and Chad Littlefield continue discussing the topics in Ask Powerful Questions: Create Conversations that Matter. Topics covered include the difference between discussion and debate, tactics on how to have productive dialogue and where sarcasm fits into conversation. The important piece is to stop the process when we're in debate and start asking some questions that look at the assumptions that were made that slid us up into a place of debate. I think sometimes debate is disguised as advocacy in meetings. Skip to: 04:01 Is it accurate to say dialogue, rather than debate, is what needs to happen for collective decision making I think what dialogue does is breaks our brain out of the tendency to pick between one or the other. Skip to: 05:43 Is there a time and place where debate is part of sound decision making? That is where innovation happens, when I can take multiple different forms of thoughts and ideas and philosophies and meld them into something new to create a sculpture that we all stand and look around and say, I contributed to that, not I made that, but I contributed to that and I’m happy with the result that we have. Typically in debate, you have two people who are talking, lots of words being exchanged, but very few of them are being retained and heard and remembered. If we just let go of responding with a statement and we just ask a question that's not rooted in judgment, that's actually looking to seek to understand, that one action can change debate right in the middle of it to a dialogue. Skip to: 11:10 Does sarcasm have a place in healthy dialogue and authentic connectivity in the workplace? Often when we're being sarcastic, we are actually picking up a little dagger that's in our little scabbard and we're poking them right where it hurts most. If sarcasm is a part of your way of leading, consider that you are doing more harm than good. Skip to: 18:00 Is there a way that openness can be achieved in a professional environment where folks are not feeling too vulnerable? How does this apply to our current situation? The number one characteristic that they found was not the years of technical experience, or the perfect personality match, it was the degree of psychological safety in that group, which is academic and PhD language for, “Can I be myself when I show up at work?” Openness doesn't mean you need to share everything; it does mean you need to show up authentically. When I'm present to your humanity and I can be open to that and be moved by that and see the world in a different place because you see it in a different way, then that's when magic and collaboration and adventure that makes us most alive, it is the place that we want to step into, even though it scares us. Continuation from Ask Powerful Questions Part 1 Q: Decision making is part of all organizations, big or small, all boards, all school boards, school administration, corporations, decision making occurs all the time. Typically, decision making, if it's being done across any number of people include some dialog, especially if you might be referencing a leadership team, or school board, or a corporate board. So, what I want to ask you to define or share the difference between is debate and discussion. So, if part of decision making includes discussion, is there a difference between debating and discussion? And if so, what's the difference? A (Will): ...When we get to a place of dialogue, your needs are equal to mine, and I am more in a partnership with you. And I'm listening for understanding, I'm in a place of openness to hear what is actually occurring for you, I'm even willing to be reflective. What happens is oftentimes, if we're in a dialogue,

About this Episode Time Stamps Q&A About our Guests Resources Podcast host Annette Stevenson is joined by best-selling authors, professional facilitators and speakers, Will Wise and Chad Littlefield to discuss their work in facilitating meaningful communication among leaders and educators. They delve into some of the tools mapped out in their book Ask Powerful Questions: Create Conversations That Matter as well as the importance of intention and empathy as it relates to effective communication and leadership. Skip to: 01:32 Can you explain the word intention and how it is used in your book? “Intention is what is the game that we are playing and what do we hope to accomplish, or what are we aiming to accomplish, before this meeting is over or this project is over.” “It creates a compass that allows us all to navigate toward a future that we want to create.” Skip to: 03:52 So that intention, and the expressing of the intention, is applicable in organizational meetings, classroom settings, boardroom settings, really anywhere, would you agree with that? “Our time is our most precious resource.” “And if you're able to craft an intention statement, the other people can see themselves in, the amount of buying goes up and the amount of resistance goes way down in the meeting, that's a pretty big shift.” “It’s so often that we lose who we’re actually doing our work for.” Skip to: 09:32 Is it possible for you to provide an example of empathy, apathy and sympathy? “She was able to put one of her feet in her student’s and her parent’s and her family’s and her educator’s shoes and keep one of her feet grounded in her own reality.” “We parent better when we can be empathetic.” Skip to: 19:15 Once you reach that apathy point, there's a way out of it, you can step back out of it? “Empathy allows people to be seen and heard and understood exactly for who they are, and for who they are not, and when that happens, people are more likely to contribute, more likely to give their voice, more likely to choose to contribute” Skip to: 22:04What is the difference between debate and discussion? “Debate often has this two-sided argument where people are trying to prove and they're only listening to win and they're trying to challenge each other.” Q: I'm going to jump into some of what I uncovered in your book Ask Powerful Questions, you frame a pyramid of skill sets, and the base of that pyramid is intention. Can you explain the word intention as you mean it there, as a foundational skill in that context and how it relates to connecting authentically with people? A: (Will) When I was writing the book, I shared some of the first drafts with an editor, she said, "You got to put that intention chapter first." I'm like, "No, no, no, no, it goes later." And she said, "No, no, no, it's got to go first." And she helped me pull it down to the bottom of the pyramid. And I'm so grateful for Paula for doing that because what that did for me and the work that we're doing is, it creates a space for people to really authentically show up. So, the root word of intention means to stretch, and it's useful to think about that in a couple different ways. To stretch to include the needs of the whole, right? To move away from me and to include the we, who else do I need to include into my intention. Second, it allows us to stretch the present moment into the future and pull that future into the present moment right now. What we've noticed in working so many different educational programs, facilities, schools and universities is that there are so many meetings that happen, especially at the upper level in which the intent is not clear. It showed up on our calendars, we show up in the room, there may be an agenda, but an intention is different than that. Intention is what is the game that we are playing, and what do we hope to accomplish, or what are we aiming to accomplish before this meeting is over,

Biometrics are a cornerstone of the converged security trend, and that's why we are pleased to count the world leading security conference, ISC West, as our premier partner in that area. Of course, due to the coronavirus pandemic, ISC West 2020 was postponed this spring, but that didn't prevent us from continuing the critical discussions around security, privacy and identity with ISC West. On this episode of ID Talk that discussion continues with ISC West organizer Will Wise, Group Vice President, Security Events Portfolio, Reed Exhibitions. Speaking to Susan Stover, Vice President of digital Content for FindBiometrics and Mobile ID World, Wise discusses how the security landscape is changing with the dramatic shift to remote work. He talks about the convergence of physical and digital security, and how it's affected privacy. And of course, he talks about ISC West, and what we can expect from the conference when it returns.

“I can’t teach you any trick, any layer, or any tip about “Start questions with these words”, et cetera, unless I share the fact that the outcome of your questions -- the responses to your questions -- are laid in the foundation of intention.” - Chad Littlefield What if the key to building stronger connections with the people we work with started with asking powerful questions? Today’s inspiring expert guest on Finding Brave has made it his life mission to “gently eradicate small talk” in the hopes that it will bring us all closer to what really matters to us all. Chad Littlefield is the co-founder of We!™ and creator of We! Connect Cards, a tool to spark conversations that matter in 50+ countries around the world. He has spoken at TED, and most recently he and his partner Will Wise launched their new book, Ask Powerful Questions: Create Conversations that Matter, now a #1 Amazon Bestseller. As you’ll hear, it all starts with gaining a deeper awareness of our intentions, as well as a genuine curiosity and touch of bravery to get to truly know the people around us. It just takes ones step on our part, but even a tiny act can have profound effects. And you’ll explore with us the idea that small talk can keep us from forging the true bonds we’re longing for, but our efforts at making connection can backfire if we’re not more careful and conscious.

Will Wise isn’t a journalist, although host and veteran editor Dean Rotbart swears he’d make one fine correspondent. That’s because Wise has mastered the art of asking insightful questions – those designed to reveal truths that often go unspoken. Wise uses his ample probative skills to help companies - including GE, JetBlue, and Mead – transform their workplaces, by creating authentic connections and building trust with employees through well-thought dialogue. Ten years in the making, Wise just published his first book, Ask Powerful Questions: Create Conversations that Matter, which not only covers how to ask the right questions, but how to listen to the answers, and what to do with them.  He and Rotbart cross-examine one another in a battle of the inquisitors on this week’s Monday Morning Radio.
