The Christian life can be hard at times. We can face challenges, difficulties, and trials that we simply don't know how to navigate on our own. However, we do not have to face those trials by ourselves. Take a listen as Senior Pastor Marc Farnell explains how the relationships and community we form with one another works to build us up in our walks. "Outrageous Joy" is a verse by verse study through the book of Philippians, focused on how to live the joyful life Christ has set before us. __ Follow for more updates from CrossRidge: https://www.instagram.com/crossridgechurch/ https://www.facebook.com/crossridgelife

Michael Hingson ** 01:20 Welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset, where inclusion diversity in the unexpected meet and we'll find ways to involve a lot of that stuff. today. Our guest is Morag Barrett. And she is a sought out executive coach. And she is also an expert on leadership and more important being prejudiced about such things. She is an author of three books and I know we're going to hear about those as we go through it. But I'm gonna let her talk about that rather than me spending all of our time doing it. It's kind of more fun to hear it some more anyway, so Morag welcome to unstoppable mindset. Glad you're here. Morag Barrett ** 02:03 Michael meet who I know we're gonna have a fun conversation. Michael Hingson ** 02:08 Well, that's the plan anyway, that's what we got to work on. Well, I'm really glad that you're here. Morag is in Colorado we're in Colorado. Where are you? Morag Barrett ** 02:18 I live in a town called Broomfield so I'm down in the burbs just north of Denver and on the way to Boulder so I can see the Rocky Mountains when I leave my house, but not from the room I'm sitting in right now. But it's a beautiful part of the country. Michael Hingson ** 02:32 It is I've been to Littleton I'm vice president on the board of the Colorado Center for the Blind which is a little tin so know the area pretty well. Huh? Well, why don't we start by maybe you telling us a little about sort of the earlier more ag growing up and all that stuff and where you came from and anything else that you think is relevant for us to know. Morag Barrett ** 02:57 So what when I was a wee last? Well, you are the eagle IED listeners they will have gathered I have a bit of a an accent for those who are reading the transcript. It may not yet come through. But I am told that I have the hint of an accent. I was born in the UK grew just the hint just a weekend. But I was born in the UK and grew up in and around East Anglia, which is about 50 miles northeast of London. And I learnt childhood I remember climbing trees falling out into nettle patches getting into mischief. But halcyon days of just go out on your bike and don't come back until dusk. So that was that was the early days anyway, the first season of Morag Barret or Morag McLeod as I was then Michael Hingson ** 03:52 Garrett came later. The asset It did indeed. Well, so you you grew up like it sounds like kind of a normal kid. And any any challenges or relevant things to think about growing up that kind of helped shaped where you are today? Or does all that come later as well? Yeah, I Morag Barrett ** 04:11 think? Well, no, I think it all blends in. I think the reality is, though, when we tell it when we're asked about our own story, I know it is easy for me to dismiss it of that's boring. You don't want to hear it. Nothing. Nothing exciting happened to me. But in reality, I think more happens to us then we may recognize in the moment. And so I think the biggest impact as I look back on my life now is a woman of a certain age with my own sons who are now all six foot tall. So you can imagine where I am in my life cycle and a career that is 30 years old. Just to date myself. The biggest thing growing up that I didn't appreciate the time was my mom and what had happened to her because in the early 70s She had a brain tumor and was told that she wasn't going to live. And then the diagnosis changed to where you're going to live, but you may not be able to see you may not be able to walk, you may not be able to it was a full list of may not be able to use. And she did live. She did see she did walk a little unsteadily. But the the hindsight as an adult is that we never talked about it as a family, not once. And that whole stereotype British sweep it under the carpet, nothing to see here, maintain appearances in the house and outside the house. In fact, let's remember this, let's allow others to assume my mother might have a drinking problem, versus her speech and balance was impacted because of a brain tumor problem. The fact that we might allow the former over the latter just blew blows my mind now as I look back at it, but it also I can see how it shaped my somewhat risk adverse, maintain the professional image, keep everything buttoned up early in my career, whether that was in banking, or when I moved into leadership and executive development. Michael Hingson ** 06:18 So do you think that's different in Britain, you then hear in terms of sweeping it under the carpet and, and not wanting to talk about it? Morag Barrett ** 06:28 So it depends on what the it is. And I don't know that it's any different I think the reality is we all have, it's things that we sweep under the carpet or don't acknowledge, for fear of how others might react, maybe even for healthier of how I might react. I know it was very emotional. When I started to process this. Back 10 years or so ago, my mom passed away 23 years ago, from a brain tumor. But all of this, we have this inbuilt we're conditioned we're raised to Don't rock the boat fit into societal norms. Don't be different, don't mention uncomfortable things, because you'll make other people feel uncomfortable. And so that it varies whether you're in the US or in the in the UK varies from person to person. But what I've learned in the last decade is those fears of what others may think or how they may judge us are invariably inflated. And in some cases, in my case, imaginary. And I wish I just dealt with them sooner. Well, Michael Hingson ** 07:39 and I would say the other part about that is an inflated or not. Maybe people often do feel really uncomfortable. I know there are any number of people, even some who are blind, but yeah, a number of people who are uncomfortable and very fearful about blindness, because they're afraid Well, I could become blind right on somebody who's blind. They don't do well. When whether it's blindness or or any other thing we have learned to fear the things we don't know a lot about. And that's so unfortunate that we don't learn that maybe we are looking at things a different way. Morag Barrett ** 08:20 I couldn't agree more. I mean, it's that not seeking to understand that the curiosity that keeps us all trapped or separate. Because should I lose my sight? How do I learn to adapt? The fact that I think we know by now that blindness is not contagious, it's not something you're going to catch by hanging out with and socializing with people who may have. And that goes with many of the challenges that people bring. I mean, Eric shares my business partner in our book, you may worry about his struggle with depression throughout his life and mental health. And he is now way more open with us as to when he needs assistance when he's having a tough day or an up day. And as a result, we have grown stronger as a team because we and we understand we may not experience his lived life, but we have a better perspective from which to ask, and for us all to be better together. Michael Hingson ** 09:22 And I would change something that you said a little bit. I think curiosity is great if we would only but be curious. Yes, rather than treating us as curiosities, whoever we are. Curious, be open. And the other side of that is that I'll use me as a blind person. We need to be open and be prepared to be teachers and it's easy for a lot of people. I just don't want to do that. I'm tired of doing that. But that's what we are and who we are. And we can shut down which doesn't help or or we can choose to be open and answer questions and help people better understand, which hopefully will help people move on and not fear things so much. Morag Barrett ** 10:11 I think that ultimately is a two way street, you can't do all of the education. From your perspective, it'd be exhausting, it's unfair. It's just unmanageable. But so I have to step in and come closer to you, in the same way as you have to then be willing to accept maybe my inelegant questions or my, at this point, I didn't know better questions. But I will know after you've responded and clarified for me a different approach or a different perspective. Michael Hingson ** 10:43 One of the things that I have the honor and pleasure of doing as I work with a company, our company called Accessibility in Israel, and excessively makes products that helped make the internet more accessible and more usable for a lot of different kinds of disabilities and persons with different disabilities. And I spent a week over there my first time in Israel, we were there two weeks ago. And there were a lot of questions about dealing with disabilities. And what to do well, not so much what to do and what not to do, but how do we approach different issues and so on. And ultimately, if I were to summarize, the week, it is, how great it was that people were willing to ask questions and even acknowledged that maybe they were making assumptions that weren't true. We were able to move through a lot of that. And it was so wonderful to experience that and have the opportunity. And I knew going in that I was there in part to do that very thing. So I chose to and I agree, we can't always be teachers, and we shouldn't necessarily try to go force ourselves into a teaching role. But when it comes along, we do need to recognize and deal with it. Hmm. That's kind of more of what I'm thinking. That's the that's the only way we're going to address the issue. Morag Barrett ** 12:10 Yeah, one conversation, one interaction at a time. Yeah. It's Michael Hingson ** 12:15 like you do you eat an elephant one bite at a time? Why don't want me to. Okay. But I hear you it is one conversation, one interaction at a time. So you went, you grew up, you rode a bike, you climbed trees, and did all those things that people do and probably spied on the neighbors and all that sort of stuff. Did you? Did you go to college in England? Or what did you do? Actually, I Morag Barrett ** 12:41 chose not too. That was a pivot point. For me, when I graduated high school, I actually chose to go straight into work. And originally I was going to be an engineer. I did applied mathematics, physics and economics at high school. So in preparation for going I was the only girl in the class, you know, that sort of thing. And then the class was five people. I mean, it was tiny, but we would hang out. And I was going to be an engineer, I like puzzles. I used to do jigsaw puzzles upside down, Michael, you know, with the image, the wrong side, just because of the spatial awareness, which I don't know, don't necessarily have carried forward. But in economics, there was a chapter on how banks create money. And I thought this is fascinating. And I decided to go straight into banking. And I worked in the branch in might the town I grew up, and I did my degree at night school, because I decided by the time I graduated, I would have a have the work experience and the degree, or I could go to university and have a fun time and an OK degree, but I would lose the work experience. And so that was the decision I made and it worked out. And then subsequently, I went back to school and did a master's degree in HR and move from numbers into the leadership and executive development executive coaching that I do now. Michael Hingson ** 13:59 Why did you go back to school and get a degree in HR? So you got one new stop? You got a bachelor's degree, but you never did get a bachelor's degree? Morag Barrett ** 14:07 Well, no. Yes. I got the associate's degree got the associates to finance? Yes, yeah. And I again, at the time, I was not really paying attention to the difference between an associate's degree and a bachelor's degree. And to be honest, 35 years later, nobody asks anyway, other than today, which is lovely. So why did I do that? Well, because I thought I was going to be on that career path of the numbers side of what makes for successful organizations. And certainly, I can find my way around a cash flow forecast, analyze a balance sheet profit loss, or I used to be able to until the cows come home, but in the work that I was doing with businesses, the ones who'd come and say, Well, we're all going to be rich. We have this product or service lend me a million pounds. The ones that were successful and could pay us back were the ones I realized that didn't just have that great idea. They also invested as much cart time and attention in how business gets done, the people side, whether that's the people working in the company, the vendor relationships, or the customer relationships. But in the 90s, that was still the soft, fluffy stuff, it was still only just starting to emerge really as, as important as the numbers. And I went back to do my master's degree, knowing I was going to make that pivot into the people side, all while being a bank manager. So I had the pragmatic experience of running a business, whilst also now getting the book smarts around what does it take to to be a successful leader in what is now the 21st century? Michael Hingson ** 15:45 So you decided volitionally, if you will, what you wanted to migrate some of the number side to the people side? Yes. What fascinates you about the people side, what made you really want to do that? Morag Barrett ** 16:01 That despite however many billions of us there are on this planet, and how different people may assume we are from the get go, we're actually very much the same. And certainly in the NOW 20 plus years that I've been doing leadership and executive development with leaders around the world, it doesn't matter where on the planet you are, whether you're north slope, Alaska, working on an oil and gas drilling site, maybe down in Peru, working with a gold mining company, or working across Europe, with health care, clients, etc. It's the people issues, our the ability to push each other's buttons, the misunderstandings and miscommunications that get in the way of success, whether that's for me as a person or team or our company, every single day. And that's what I love is that the variety but the consistency of the problems that I'm helping others to solve, Michael Hingson ** 17:00 no. And I would think certainly, it's a field and a world that by any standard is not as fixed as dealing with numbers, because with numbers you calculate, you can interpret. But then, when you start to go look at different economic trends, you get back to the whole people issue again, which is really what's the adventure? Morag Barrett ** 17:28 Yeah, there's poetry in numbers, because there is, in theory, a right answer, or there is a style of algebra, you know, when you're doing resolving all of the equations, I love chemistry for the same reason and, and all of that. So I do love that. However, when it comes to the people piece, there is no one right answer. And everybody has to find a way that suits their, we use the word authentic too much, but their authentic self, their style, and bring it to bear in the context in which they're leading. So again, if I think about the leadership in North Slope, Alaska, where it literally is life or death, if I fall, it is a flight out to get to the nearest hospital. And of course, if the weather's closed in, it could be days, it could be weeks before that flight can happen. So there, it is very strict, you know, three points of contact to feet on the ground one hand on the handrail, amongst other rules that are designed to keep not just me safe, but the people who would have to take care of me if I have an accident. So it's much more directive much more strict. And this is how you will show up. But leadership and management pay in Littleton, maybe, for accessory or any other organization that you might be part of, it may be a little bit more hands off a bit more relaxed, or hey, you'll work it out. And it's just finding that right balance and knowing when to turn the dial up or turn the dial down, that differentiates the leaders we want to work for. And the ones where we just grown every time we see their name or email come in. The Michael Hingson ** 19:10 other part about that I would say though, is take North Slope Alaska, most people would say, well, a person who's blind can't really work there. And that's the other part though, about people. We tend to lock ourselves into mindsets to ways of thinking without recognizing maybe there are other alternatives that may totally change or affect what we always start with so Oh, absolutely. Morag Barrett ** 19:40 I mean, there's two sides to that. Michael, there's the I might typecast you as the finance person who happens to be blind, maybe we'll have seeing issues whatever. But it's only because I know you now and I don't know your backstory and your past career, etc. So being typecast by others, and therefore limited is frustrating. It's wrong. We need to break that model. But I think we also do it to ourselves. And I know only recently as I've started to regain my fitness, I went back on the treadmill telling myself, I'm only a power Walker. And now it turns out, I'm a jogger. And as of yesterday, I couldn't run on the treadmill. And I texted a girlfriend, I said, I ran at 7.3 miles an hour. And she came back going, Oh, my goodness, that's amazing. And I said, Well, yes, except it's context, I ran at 7.3 miles an hour, 30 seconds. So there is these limiting beliefs that are AI couldn't run. Now I am believing I can only run for 30 seconds at a time. So we'll see how I work on that. But then there are the beliefs that hold us back that others know you're no good with numbers. You can't be an engineer or you can't because you're a woman or you can't because you don't have full sight. And sometimes that's true, but more often it is. It's not true. There's a workaround, there's an adaption that we can do. That gives everybody an opportunity to thrive and flourish. Michael Hingson ** 21:16 Worse. The other part of that is that sometimes it may be true because of the technology or the tools that we have developed today. I mean, for so far, yes. So far. So Roger Bannister, Roger Bannister broke the mold when he ran a mile in less than four minutes. And people said up until he did it, that it was a physical impossibility to run a mile in less than four minutes. And if anyone did, they would die. And then what 1966 I believe it was, he did. Morag Barrett ** 21:54 And then about eight people followed, it's like when trains were first invented, and women couldn't possibly ride on a train because they would pass out. And if we go over 25 miles an hour, there won't be enough oxygen. So every time we push the envelope, I mean, you look at what's happening with AI and technology right now, it is both exhilarating and exciting, and terrifying. I was reading an article recently where electrodes had been implanted in a woman's brain who is paralyzed, and she was able to communicate, I think it turned out 70 words a minute, if you read that one, she could articulate words by thinking them at 70 words a minute, versus the eye flickering approach that she'd had to use, which was much, much slower. So the quality of life for I assume for her because the article didn't go into that must be better, because she can interact with those around her in a different way. And who knows how that will evolve. In the next few months, years, decades. Michael Hingson ** 23:00 By recall, it's the first time that her husband heard her voice and it was her voice, which is the other part about it. And 18 years, I actually saw a news report, so I did hear her speak. And, and, and hear her complete sentences. And and of course, 20 years ago, 10 years ago, maybe even five years ago, we wouldn't have been able to see that happen. So there's no Rathod technology brings a lot to bear to make improvements. I mean, I love to talk about Thomas Edison invented the electric light bulb in 1878. Right? So what was the electric light bulb is its is I use it in terms of the Americans with Disabilities Act, it's a reasonable accommodation for light dependent people who need to be able to see in the dark. But now, some 145 years later, what we have is technology that makes light on demand available, basically whenever we want. Now, it doesn't mean although people would deny it, it doesn't mean that the disability of light dependents isn't still there. Because we can still have situations where there's a power failure and suddenly you you lose light until you go find a smartphone or a flashlight or a candle Morag Barrett ** 24:21 to bring with the oil lamp or the oil Michael Hingson ** 24:25 lamp. Right. But but the reality is that it still is something that's there. So I love to point out that everyone has some sort of disability and we need to recognize that and stop limiting some just because what they need is different than what we need. Yes, but we make assumptions and it's unfortunate that we do so often. It is something that we we need to deal with and grow beyond and you know, how do we do that? I it's it's so difficult and frustrating because so many people don't seem to want to change from whatever their particular belief system is. They've never learned to really think about maybe we need to grow and look at things in a different way. How do we change that? Well, it Morag Barrett ** 25:13 goes back to what we said earlier on one conversation and one interaction at a time. And I think it's easy to find the naysayers. And the blockers. I mean, just this week, a friend of mine shared, there was an event here in Colorado, and our whole group of people turned up with the opposing view t shirt and stood up and disrupted the whole event. And it's just, we're gonna find those people. They're easy to find they're right, you just step out your front door. However, there are also the hidden gems and the people who are ready and willing to listen and do different and let's start there. Yeah. But also, I wish for many of these conversations that we could move more quickly from conversation to action. And start getting that momentum Michael Hingson ** 26:01 is one of my favorite things to talk about in speeches that I give. And you may know, I'm a keynote speaker, in addition to doing this, and I love to travel and speak, and a lot of people want to hear my September 11 story. But I also do a talk called moving from diversity to inclusion. And I titled it that, because when we talk about diversity and ask people to define it, what invariably they talk about is, well, diversity means something to do with race or sexual orientation or gender. They never talked about disabilities. And so some of us take the position. Well, all right. So diversity is left out disabilities. But if you're going to talk about being inclusive, and you say, but we include people with different races, but you don't include disability, so you're not inclusive, you know, you can't have it both ways. But one of the things that I love to do when I'm giving those talks is to start out, but I'm gonna ask you tell me what you think a blind person can't do. And that's not a trick question. It's not a trick. Morag Barrett ** 27:07 It's not a trick question. Because I thought, Well, okay, maybe not a brain surgeon. But then again, with robotics, you know, you're actually listened to it being there actually, is what he's blind. Michael Hingson ** 27:21 He's out, there you go. It's out. But that wouldn't be the number one answer that you get. Morag Barrett ** 27:26 Oh, tell me a joke that you can't do. Oh, they're not do like, Family Fortunes or whatever. We have to pick the of our survey 100 People said, I don't know. Tell me Michael then. So what are they go to because I'm still have the well, you drive a car. And most things if you can do that now, because most cars can drive themselves Michael Hingson ** 27:47 well, but that's different than driving a car. autonomous vehicle. So that's true for everyone. But the reality is that there is a video of a blind person driving a car, with technology that was put on the car to transmit to him the information of whatever is in front of him and around him or her. So that literally a blind person can learn to drive a car, literally, like you do. And there's a video it's up, you can go to a website, it's www dot Blind Driver Challenge dot Ford. And you can actually see a gentleman driving a car around the Daytona Speedway, right before the 2011 Rolex 24 race in January of 2011. And again, the the technology was was there. So it's not ready for primetime. But the point is that people make assumptions. And I love to ask that question, because invariably, the first answer, and if not the first, it's got to be one of the first few but typically, the first answer is can't drive a car. And then you go to all sorts of other things from there. And the fact of the matter is that nowadays, technology has advanced to the point where there is a way to do some of those things that we didn't think we could do before and you talked about it with the woman who had the brain implant that allows her to speak, which is pretty cool. Yes, it is, indeed. So you know, we we really need to find ways to deal with getting over our limiting thoughts. And we do limit ourselves all too often. And I think we're taught to do that. And it's to unfortunate that that's the case. Morag Barrett ** 29:36 I have a section in my first book cultivate where I talk about the trash talk roller coaster, which I think is symptomatic of this self limiting belief. And I know I still ride what I call the trash talk roller coaster regularly, and it starts like this. This is awesome. And then something will happen to the project or the job or the relationship or the something that kind of moves it off the rails a bit which point we go to, oh, this is harder than I thought. And then we get to the, if it keeps on that route of this sucks, and then very quickly it goes from this sucks to, I suck, I must suck, because why can I do this? Why can I get this person to whatever? Why can't I get this project back on track? And then maybe the hopeful is that you come around the other side to well, it's not as bad as I thought it was. And you're fat. This is okay to back to this is awesome. And for me, it's the catching myself in the oh, this is harder of God, this sucks and trying to break my precondition patterns before it gets to the I suck, to differentiate the two to differentiate from the system that might be sucky. Or the yes, I'm bits because I'm new. I'm the beginner, I haven't learned how to do it yet, as opposed to I will never learn to do it. It Michael Hingson ** 30:56 may very well be that your gift set is such that it whatever it might be isn't something that you specifically might do well. But you might be the person who can find someone who can help you do it well, which gets back to creativity. Morag Barrett ** 31:17 Yes, definitely better together again, why keep going after if it's not something you enjoy doing? It's not something you aspire to, you've put in a few of the 10,000 hours and you know, you're not going to really be a what ready and willing to invest the time to get further then delegate subcontracted out find somebody else. I love that suggestion. Michael Hingson ** 31:38 So you went off and you got your master's degree? And what was the degree in human resource management, human resource management? So it's your Yeah, you do that in England? Morag Barrett ** 31:49 Yes, I did. And that was also coincide with the birth of my twins and moving into leadership development properly within the bank. And within a couple of years of that actually leaving the bank the safety of what would have been a career for life, if I had continued on the path of head down, work hard, and it will be okay. And taking a risk and joining an American company that ultimately ended up bringing us to Colorado. And there I went from a very UK England centric career in life and life experience, to now working with leaders around the world and living in a foreign country with a very similar but different language. And it was the first of the baby steps that really accelerated my transformation. Michael Hingson ** 32:44 Well, talking about human resource management, too, with with twins, there's good human resource management there too. Morag Barrett ** 32:54 A lot of refereeing. And so there's three of them now, because we had an another one as well. All boys. So the usual wrestling and hiking that goes on. Michael Hingson ** 33:04 Yeah. And how old are all of them today? Morag Barrett ** 33:08 Oh, 25 and 21. So dependent young men now who are off making their own pads and their own decisions. And Michael Hingson ** 33:17 Mom has to be smarter about human resource management to get them to do things that she might want them to do because they've learned to think for themselves I bet Morag Barrett ** 33:27 Oh, it's smarter in that I have to do it myself. Now Michael or out, outsource it. So now as an empty nester, I'm on my own. It's down to me if I want it to happen, I'd better get the YouTube video out and work it out. You Michael Hingson ** 33:41 can't outsource it to them. Or news not as easy. Morag Barrett ** 33:45 Not as easily. And to be honest, they can learn their own journey. Yeah, Michael Hingson ** 33:52 but I bet they they still love mom. I bet. Morag Barrett ** 33:58 I hope so. You'd have to ask them. I'm gonna go with Yes. Okay, ultimately, yes. Michael Hingson ** 34:04 We'll buy that. Yeah. Yeah. So you moved. So why did you leave the bank and join a different company? Morag Barrett ** 34:14 Because I saw an opportunity to, to learn and it goes back it's curiosity, to see what might happen if and I knew I wanted to be in leadership development. And if I stayed in the bank, it was always waiting for the next opportunity and time will get you there. But when you choose to take control of your own career and make those deliberate choices to move, you can accelerate that transition and so the opportunity to learn and work globally. Even that decision to move to the states was a big one. My mum had just passed away. We've moved house to be closer to family because family is important. And now we were being asked to move 5000 miles away to a different and country. And we thought about it long and hard. We talked with the family and we decided it was an adventure that was too good to miss. And even if it only lasted a couple of years, we should do that. In the end, it's now lasted. Where are we at? 2023 years to 2005 we came. So, you know, it's lasted a lifetime and actually, is now our home of choice. Yeah. Well, it's time flower and you're having fun. Hard Michael Hingson ** 35:26 to Be Colorado. Now, is there anger? Yes, it is. Is there a husband in the picture? 35:34 Yes, there is. Yeah. So Michael Hingson ** 35:36 he moved as well without too much muss or fuss, or? Morag Barrett ** 35:40 Yeah, it was all as a combined unit. And then, as ever, life changes and moves on. So Colorado is definitely home with the boys being here. And I'm going back to visit my brother back in the UK in November. So I'm looking forward to that trip and seeing some of the old buildings and history. But also remembering why I like the blue sky and mountains of Colorado. Michael Hingson ** 36:04 Yeah, needless to say, Well, you've so So do you still work for that company? Are you now totally on your own? Or what? Morag Barrett ** 36:12 No, I'm totally on my own. So sky team is my company. I formed that in 2007. So for 16 years, we've been working in three ways with our clients, either one on one as executive coaches, with a intact teams on how do we ensure that this group of people is aligned around what does it take to be successful in their roles on the team through to broader leadership and executive development programs and had the opportunity now to work with leaders from 20 countries on six continents? All looking to? How do we solve the business challenges together, especially now in a 21st century in an in a hybrid environment where some people may be on site, some are working from home, and that additional complexity that may be factored in? Michael Hingson ** 37:06 What do you think about the whole idea today of a hybrid environment, it's clearly the pandemic was one of the main causes for us to shift our thinking from just being in the office all day every day. Morag Barrett ** 37:20 So I wish it hadn't been a global pandemic, with so many desks that was the catalyst for change. But my second book, The Future Proof workplace, really preempted the fact that many of our working processes and attitudes to career and work and office were rooted back in the 18th century in the industrial revolution, they had not morphed to keep up with the reality of what was now a knowledge work base in many cases versus a manufacturing work base. And the fact that as the pandemic showed, and work from home, work can be done from almost anywhere with the right tools and equipment. The challenge we saw Michael, though, was that people grab their bags and emergency evacuated the offices, assuming it was going to be two weeks, maybe a month, maybe three months, not expecting two years. And so the old leadership and management habits from in person, were force fitted, to working through the camera, and even now have not flexed to meet the needs of a hybrid workforce. And I think that's the biggest opportunity for us as individuals. And as teams and organizations continue to adapt and look forward. Michael Hingson ** 38:43 Well, and we, we all need to grow. And, of course, my experience goes back to September 11, when something happened that we didn't expect, that affected a lot of the world. But I think the pandemic even more was an event that affects the world. And it forced more people to be directly involved in needing to change because what happened on September 11, affected a lot of us in a lot of different ways going through airport security is different and so on. But the pandemic really made major changes for all of us, including this whole hybrid idea. And I hear from so many people that in reality, it's probably a good thing overall because we we learned that that there is value in letting people work from home. And a lot of the times when people are opposed to it, it tends to be a trust issue rather than really an issue that is a true Yes. Morag Barrett ** 39:48 Now, it is a trust issue. And I also agree that there is value in coming together in three dimensions. But it has to have a purpose and needs to be seen. Trucks should it needs to be thoughtful and deliberate. And why again, as I remember commuting into London, why would I want to spend an hour and a half going into the office to then spend the day there spend an hour and a half going home is 6am to 7pm. Schedule again, when I don't get to see the family unconditionally tired. Surely it's better to have those options to use technology. Like you and I are talking right now. We're having a powerful conversation, but we don't need to be in the same room. And yet, I know that if you and I were in the same room, depending on the nature of the discussion, and the decisions that had to be made, or the problem we're solving, it would be an even richer experience. So I think that's part of what we need to do individually and collectively is start making deliberate choices about how and when work happens. How and when team at work happens, how and when collaboration happens. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 40:57 And we need to recognize that there are a number of ways to make that happen. You know, for me, I'm used to talking with people, how do I say this, and not seeing them even being in the same room. So for me, one of the things I learned early when I started selling major accounting products, and doing it by phone, was that I use the same techniques to sell on the telephone that I would use if I were selling to a person sitting across the desk from them. Because Because the reality is that I communicate in the same way, which also means that I have to describe in the same way, now the value is changed, because we have things like zoom. So I can bring up a picture. Or I can show people things that I might not have been able to do in the past. So I can create a pretty rich experience. I think that all too often, when we talk about virtual as opposed to in person experiences, we do tend to limit ourselves a little bit with virtual experiences, we can make them richer than we think we can. Morag Barrett ** 42:18 Hmm, yeah. So it's funny before the pandemic, my team and I were all leadership development, but it was if you want to be a better human, you need to do it in a room with other humans. And we rarely use Zoom or any sort of virtual facilitation, like everybody else, we had to learn quick, and I will I've eaten my words, because done well, this virtual environment can deliver many things. And I think about some of the friends that I've made during the pandemic never met them in three dimensions only met them through the camera. And yet, I would describe them as some of my trusted colleagues and life friends. In spite of that, or because of that, maybe, but again, it's being forced, and it's being thoughtful and deliberate versus just coming on the call hanging up at the end, getting on the next call, hanging up the end, we miss the subtleties and the cues of when we're in person. For example, your spidey sense might go off and say something about more eggs, voice sounds different words. And you may then follow me into the break room say hey, Maura, you okay, what's going on? And I might go with a British, nothing, Michael, it's fine. And then you're gonna know there's something and you'd keep going by and we don't get that, that you're not buying it. But we don't get those as easily as the thing to see through the camera. Again, unless as leaders and managers we are being thoughtful and deliberate in creating space for Scott to schedule spontaneity, creating space for small talk, creating space for just how are you doing, Michael? Versus the Okay, it's two o'clock, what are you doing, Michael, get on the Zoom call, show me a project plan. Michael Hingson ** 44:06 Right. And I think that so using your example, if I detected that, from you during a zoom presentation, as soon as it was done, I would be halfway through dialing you on the phone to say what's going on. And Morag Barrett ** 44:23 that, to me is an ally behavior. That's what being a friend at work is is I may be imagining it but are you okay? And I'm just checking in and the more we do that, the more we build trust, the more I build trust, the more I'm going to be willing to ask for an offer help or give you the tough feedback you need to hear. And ultimately then we are all better together. Michael Hingson ** 44:45 Why should we care about our professional relationships? What's what's the value and really doing that? I think I know how you're going to answer that but me ready. Morag Barrett ** 44:56 Maybe I should ask you and then we'll compare. So here's Just go ahead. No, no. All right. So why should we care because all of the research shows that it has a direct impact on our happiness, our health, and our success, whether that's measured in productivity by the corporate overlords, or in terms of success for our own career aspirations. Everything that we do, is impacted by the health and quality of the relationships that we build, whether it's on our team, across the industry, and so on, it matters. Michael Hingson ** 45:33 And to me, it goes back to trust. Because we value our relationships, and we cultivate our relationships, we create more of a trusting relationship, which I think is so crucial. That's why I love talking about dogs, dogs don't trust unconditionally, they love unconditionally, but they don't trust unconditionally, but what dogs do is be open to trust, which is where we tend to. And so I very much value the relationship I have with my guide dogs. And I know that in reality, the trust is truly earned on both sides when we do. It is all about making that trusting relationship happen. And Morag Barrett ** 46:21 also, it's the how you both respond to each other when the inevitable mistakes will happen. Yep. And how do you come back from that? And I've seen too many leaders who will either say, Well, Michael, welcome to my team, you know, and subtext is two years prove prove that you're worthy of my trust? Well, at the pace of change, right now, two years, you don't have two years, you have six months at best, maybe three. So why don't we talk through? What does success look like? What am I hot buttons? What do you need from me? What do I expect from you. And then we can accelerate that whole process. Michael Hingson ** 46:58 As a sales leader, whenever I hired people. I've talked about it before on this podcast, one of the first discussions I have with people is I'm not here to boss you around, I hired you because I believe you can sell, but I have gifts, you have gifts. What I need to do, as your leader is to work with you to find out how I can add value to what you do to make you more successful. And the people who get that word, the people who didn't did the last one. Yeah, but but it's so true. I think any good leader needs to see how they can add value to the work, and the work ethic and the work experience of the people who work for them, and how they can enhance those people. And that's what it's really about. That's not easy to do for a lot of people, but it's what we really need to do. Morag Barrett ** 47:54 Well, the challenge is we get promoted for doing something I mean, I think about banking, and you get promoted for processing your in Tray really well. Well, now I've got this unconscious bias, maybe that success is equivalent to how many widgets I made by Morag. But once you start moving through the organization, to your point, it's not about how many widgets can I make is how many widgets can I inspire and engage the team to make is getting results through others. And if we aren't amongst all of the other changes, and transitions, if we aren't aware of it, then we become that micromanager that's trying to control instead of somebody who coaches feedback delegation. And that's where we start to stifle ourselves and others and then maybe coming back full circle, it triggers those limiting beliefs of will maybe I'm not a good boss, or a leader, because look, my team isn't delivering. And we get into that trash talk cycle again, all for the sake of a little perspective and unlearning the habits that made us successful at this leadership level, and relearning or learning the new habits in a different way that will help us in that new environment or new context, Michael Hingson ** 49:03 we will biggest mistakes or what are the common mistakes that people make in nurturing their professional relationships. Morag Barrett ** 49:11 So I'm gonna go with it's a dichotomy. One is assuming that it's going to take a lot of time. And the reality is not necessarily. So if I ask listeners now to think about a best boss, best colleague, somebody who jumped at the chance to work with again, and what makes them special. So Michael, for you, who comes to mind, somebody you would love to work with, again, if you had the opportunity. Sure. Michael Hingson ** 49:37 And there are a few. One is a guy I've talked about on the podcast before Kevin, who I hired and who really got the whole sales presentation, the whole sales pitch that I gave about how we add value. And yeah, I have some wonderful stories about that. But I think we all have that and, you know, I thought about My comment that I made earlier about trust, I think more of us want to have trust in your relationships than then have them. But we've not learned or we've forgotten how to develop those relationships. Morag Barrett ** 50:12 Yeah, well, we talked about it in you, me, we, we talked about the fact that if you want trust, if you want more relationships, strong, powerful relationships in your network, then you have to go first and show up as that person for others and for you. So if I close the loop on this, and it not taking long, everybody's now thinking about their equivalent of Kevin. So my challenge my double dog dare challenge to everybody is to the extent you can send your Kevin, your best boss or colleague a message after this podcast that says, Hey, I was listening to Michael. And they asked about best colleagues and I thought of you and here's why. And in that nanosecond, whether it's a LinkedIn message, an email, a text message to the universe, you have made a deposit into that relationship bank account, and it took you two minutes less than that. That's how easy it is. But we think it's going to be complicated. So it's, it's making it a choice, making it a habit, I have a Friday 30 minute slot that comes up on my calendar that reminds me to send text messages and messages to people who are important to me, that says, hey, thinking of you, I even had one on a Saturday to text my sons. And it's not cheating. And it's not, because I'm a bad mother that I need the reminder. But it is the prompt, that make sure that I follow through more often than not, that means that we are more connected. And so do that. Find your 30 minutes, spend 15 minutes at the beginning of your next staff meeting, asking how people are what they did for fun over the holiday weekend, and start bringing the human to work, not just the work? Michael Hingson ** 51:54 Well, there's nothing wrong with that prompt, we all tend to get diverted no matter how seriously or how firmly we have something in mind. So I have Trump's I, you know, when we have on our calendars and like, I use Outlook, there's a Birthday Calendar, there are so many different calendars. And I put notes just to make sure that I remember different things throughout the year. I think it's a very useful thing to do. Morag Barrett ** 52:24 We do it with our passwords. Now most of us have a password manager, why not have a human and a relationship manager to that can help us and for those who see every day, it's easy for those who might be living in the next state or you only see once a quarter, then again, it's just about repetition and making those choices, but the benefits, health, happiness and success. Are you the team and the organization. Michael Hingson ** 52:53 So what are the four? Yes? Is that you identifying having building relationships? Oh, wow. So Morag Barrett ** 53:01 the four yeses are four questions that we are asking ourselves consciously or subconsciously in every interaction. You and I were asking about each other, your listeners are asking, or we're asking it about me and this conversation. And question number one is, Can I count on you? Can I count on Michael and Morag to have an engaging conversation and get it done within you know, the 30 minutes to 45 minutes? That's as advertised? it's table stakes is do your job. Question two is can I depend on them? Can I depend on them not just to go wow, are each other and fill the time? But can you turn depend on us to go the extra mile to make it fun and engaging to make you stop and listen and go? Hmm, that was interesting. So at work that might be can you depend on me to go the extra miles spot the typo in a document to fix the formula in the spreadsheet? But either way, these are my finance career people these two questions Can I count on you? Can I depend on you? Transactional, you do your stuff? I'll do mine will be fine. questions three and four, however, move from transactional to transformational. Question number three is do I care about you? Do I care about you as a human being? Do I understand your backstory? Do I understand a little about your lived experience and what's happening in your world right now? And then ultimately, question number four. We've touched on it when we talked about your dog when we talked about working relationships. Do I trust you? And if we don't get to a heck yes on all four of these, if we don't make the implicit explicit on those, then you're never going to get to what I call an ally relationship, your friend at work the person who has your back, or the person that you can go to in the time of need, Michael Hingson ** 54:49 and we don't emphasize that nearly as much as we should. In our in our world with all the things going on in our in our world today. All the sound bites on The news and all the different political things and everything else. We we don't get to that. Which is so unfortunate. And Morag Barrett ** 55:08 it is. And then we worry why wonder why people don't want to stay the extra hour to help you out of a pickle, that when you find yourself on the job market looking for the next opportunity, people aren't returning your calls. So the time to invest in your relationships is now before you need other people. And the time to be abundant and generous with your own time and expertise is now when others need you. So it's a balance. And it's two sides of the same coin. Michael Hingson ** 55:39 Yeah, exactly. So you have written three books, when did you write your first one? And what are each of them about? Morag Barrett ** 55:47 So there is a theme. So the first book is cultivate the Power of Winning Relationships. And that was published in 2014. And it introduces the relationship dynamics that we experience in the workplace from allies, our best friends at work, unconditional have my back, give me the tough love, and the kick in the pants when I need it. Supporters, more like fairweather friends, you know, when it goes and gets tough and you ask for help, it's crickets. They'll give me the feedback, they want to hear, Oh, you're fine, but not the feedback I need to hear. Then we have rivals a little bit more elbow jockeying one day, they might be all for me. And the next day, they're against me and uncertainty. So like Jekyll and Hyde, and then adversaries, the continually tense relationships that just fill me with dread. And so cultivate introduced that ecosystem and was very powerful, and still is in helping to transform team and organizational cultures. But we were consistently asked, Yeah, but how do I show up as an ally? What does that mean? And that was the genesis, I was just pointing Michael to the third book on behind me as a picture of the cover, which is called you, me we, why we all need a friend at work and how to show up as one, which is how do we show up as an ally for others, but also for ourselves and not become a doormat? And that was published last year. And in between the two, I have a book called The Future Proof workplace, which I mentioned earlier in our conversation. Michael Hingson ** 57:22 So do you think everyone should have allies? You should have at least one otherwise? Morag Barrett ** 57:26 Oh, my goodness, what a lonely place the world of work. Yeah. So it's, it's not like Facebook, this is not about converting every relationship. It's quality, not quantity. But yes, having at least one person on your team or in your organization that you can go to when you are having a good day and celebrate your wins, but also go to and say oh my goodness, I just messed up that podcast interview with Michael and they'll listen, but then they'll coach me through it. Or they'll perhaps come to me and say, Hey, I listened to that conversation with Michael. And here's what you did well, and here's what you could do differently next time. That's the power of an ally, they help us to be better, and reduce the fear of failure. Michael Hingson ** 58:12 And they do it out of love. They don't do it out of spite. And they do it because they truly want to be supportive. And they trust yes, that you're going to accept that they're doing it for the right reasons. Morag Barrett ** 58:27 Indeed, so doing it out of love, which, again, in an HR appropriate way in the workplace. And it may mean that we are best friends that work for this project. But when I leave, if I move back to the UK, we may lose touch, that's fine. It isn't necessarily that we are going to be best buddies forever or that I need to take you home to meet my mother and we're going to hang out after work. But definitely when we talk about psychological safety building a high trust team, than having an Ally Mindset and the ally behaviors, that mean we are working together and not against each other. That is the secret to success. Michael Hingson ** 59:07 What's one thing that anyone can do to become a better ally? Morag Barrett ** 59:12 Well, the first thing I'm going to suggest is to complete our Ally Mindset Profile because then you'll get your personal insights as to the five practices and where you might want to invest some care and attention. So you can do that at Skye team S k y e, Team dot cloud, forward slash youmewe, and all by the book and bounce the first thing and there is that but in the book we talk about the first step in becoming an ally is to look up to assess the relationship health around you. So simply by asking, How do I want others to feel in my presence? How do I feel in my presence? And the answer to that question will help to inform how you may need to show up, and what behaviors you may need to step up and do differently in order to shift your leadership influence and reputation. Michael Hingson ** 1:00:12 And I think one of the important things about how to become a better ally is to also start by deciding that you want to be Morag Barrett ** 1:00:23 yes. Now, if you want to be seen as the brilliant jerk at work, the pain at the end of the misunderstood genius, fine, go wild. Thankfully, there aren't many people most of us are getting up because we want to do a good job to feel like our voice and our opinion matters. And to feel like we belong, we started in the green room earlier talking about diversity and inclusion. Those are the three things and having being an ally. And having an Ally Mindset. Being an ally means that maybe that feeling of belonging is just between you and I to start with. But then it's you and I and to others, and then it's the four of us and another team. And before you know it, you've got a culture within your organization that truly does tap into the talents Michael Hingson ** 1:01:09 of everybody. And that's what you really want is to build that kind of a real close team. Yes. Well, this has been fun. And I guess I would ask if people want to reach out to you and learn more about you maybe engaged some of your services or whatever, and also buy your books. How do they do that? Well, first Morag Barrett ** 1:01:36 of all, please do connect with me on LinkedIn, and you'll get to see some of the newsletters and showcase some of our work there.

Michael Hingson ** 1:02:09 So Did did you self publish or did the publishing company publish? Morag Barrett ** 1:02:16 I've done all versions of publishing but we chose to self published you may we it gave us more creative license over what we wanted to do. And the three of us my best friends at work are expensive and Ruby Vasily. Not only did we write the book together, but we also recorded the audio book together. So now that you've heard the accent, if you wish to continue that theme, then you will hear more of it on the audio version of Umi. We Michael Hingson ** 1:02:42 will There you go. That's enough to have to work on that. And I really very much not work on the accent work on getting the books. Oh, yeah, I Morag Barrett ** 1:02:53 understood.

Steve Head is a global inspirational speaker, trainer and coach, much of his work is with the NHS in the UK helping leaders to be better and to achieve better results. But, unknown to many, for the past ten years he has also been a performance coach for the World Cup winning wheelchair Rugby Union team. Steve tells Andy Lopata the story of how he helped the team to perform at their best. In a diverse team of male and female, able and disabled players, motivation was already strongly present. The mindset needed focus, calm and most important, values that everyone in the team accepted. Steve shares the important case study of how these values were set by the team themselves and became the inspiration and support for them all. The result was the total connectivity of the team, constantly reinforcing their values. There is no reason why these principles could not be used in the corporate world.

Join Pastor Travis Hall in this episode as he talks about how mature leaders enrich their relational currency, the inspiration to take away from James 3:10, how immature leaders use the power of words, and more. Ideas can be managed, but the impact of words can't be changed as easily. This is why mature leaders, for Pastor Travis, know that not all thoughts that come to mind should be spoken. Today, Pastor Travis explains how mature leaders use their words to heal, protect, and unite. Tune in as they put the spot on Transformational Truth #65 - Mature leaders are more interested in winning relationships than winning arguments. Listen with your notes ready because there will be a lot to take away from this episode as you tune in. In this episode you will learn: · Mature leaders use their words to heal · Don't underestimate the power of compliments · It's not enough to choose to be quiet · Our understanding of loyalty today is so watered down · Divisiveness is the language of the immature · …and so much more! About Pastor Travis Hall: Pastor Travis believes God created us on purpose for a purpose. As a pastor and leader for more than 20 years, he has a deep burden in his heart to help people fulfill their God-given potential and adopt a paradigm of leadership that will restore joy to their life. He and his wife Tina have the honor of serving as lead pastor of Life Church International, a community-centric church with more than 500 people from 75 nationalities. Through their partnership with Satisfeed, they've fed more than 1,000 families per week and also provide local food distributors with basic need supplies to help their communities.

Today's guest for this episode of the Mads Singers Management Podcast is Eric Spencer.Eric is the COO for SkyeTeam, a boutique leadership development consultancy based in Denver, Colorado. Although the company has been around since 2007, it wasn't until 2011 when Eric came on board. He has worked for several companies, including technology, hardware and software, startups, and even Fortune 50 companies.Eric's passion is helping companies, organizations, teams, groups, and individuals improve as leaders, managers, coaches, mentors, and human beings.Many business owners tend to come up with many ideas from time to time, whether it's a new business venture, a new investment, a new invention, or even a new way of doing things. However, while these may sound good, it won't be successful if business owners and entrepreneurs won't develop their staff.Eric shares his Two-Five-Fifteen (2-5-15) system where: 2 is about face-to-face meetings on Zoom, five is for five reach-outs using either phone calls, LinkedIn messaging, and emails or whatever may seem convenient for you and your potential client, and lastly, 15 where your goal is to get 15 reach outs sent for the day.In the spirit of Zig Ziglar, you will get more of the things you want by helping other people get the things they wish to. This also allows you to reciprocate things and favors quickly and is a surefire way to fill your karma bucket in an instant. Many managers and business owners tend to fix broken things. They need to realize that that's not their job. Instead, they should focus on those who want feedback as their interest is higher and on a much faster scale than those who are contented with their current state. While it may seem awkward for the first time, business owners and leaders should invest time with their staff because it's the people stuff that will bring success to your business or whatever venture you may have in your cards. Allow your staff to set the frequency on when they want to talk with you. These relationship pulse checks can help you know your team better and have them perform better. Key Learning Points: Eric says that you can have the best widgets in your workspace, but if you don't get the people stuff right, it won't get you where you need to be. - 03:16 Mads says that the critical thing when building relationships is to have an open mind. - 06:34 Mads says that from his experience, the best way to sell is not by handing someone your business card but rather by building solid relationships. - 07:22 Eric says that the initial volley when reaching out to someone is not about selling your products but rather opening a channel on that person's radar. Once you have established a connection, you can then share to that person that you are looking for a gig, a new client, or whatever your objective. - 10:56 Mads says it's about providing value to people, helping people, and connecting people to the right person or venue. - 11:55 Mads says that when you are on a mission to help others, it's usually not about the present moment but the future. - 15:03 Eric says that it's okay to be vulnerable and that it shouldn't be seen as a sign of weakness, especially in the American or Western setting - 20:33 Mads says that it's essential to have strong relationships with your team.

Nashater Deu Solheim, a forensic psychologist and leadership coach, says many people struggle to gain influence with those in their organization who don't report directly to them. That has only become more difficult in virtual office settings. But she says whether it comes to managing up to your bosses or out to your peers and clients, there are proven techniques to understand others’ thinking and win their respect. She explains her framework of preparation, behavior, and communication methods to do just that. Solheim is the author of the book “The Leadership PIN Code: Unlocking the Key to Willing and Winning Relationships.”

She is also the founder of Skye Team, an international executive development company that has supported the development of more than 7,000 leaders in 20 countries across 6 continents. Her secret to success is that business is personal and relationships matter. Morag shares her advice for professionals who are managing a remote team in the era of COVID-19. It's more than connecting on the business side, we also need to connect on the human side or the business side will never become a reality. She has identified four critical questions we're asking ourselves -- consciously or unconsciously -- in every interaction. And when we're not paying attention to those four questions, the gaps are going to widen and those cracks and fissures will undermine all of our success if we're not feeling a sense of team and that we're in this together.

In this episode, I share a little of my experience (what NOT to do), as well as some tips for how to identify and foster encouraging, positive, and lasting relationships. I've personally found the times I am most successful are when I am surrounded by people who push me to do better. Make sure you are surrounding yourself with people who build you up and push you to max out your potential! Support the podcast - leave a 5 star review and tell a friend. Thanks! Andrew Glover

Lead Star Founding Partner, Angie Morgan, speaks with Morag Barrett, author of "Cultivate: The Power of Winning Relationships" and a leadership development expert, speaker, and author. In this podcast, Morag shares how to nurture Ally relationships to increase your impact and accelerate your success.
Dr. Linda Sharkey and Morag Barrett, co-authors of The Future-Proof Workplace, share their views on how the industrial revolution left us with the broken and toxic workplaces we see today. Virtual enterprises and aspirational millennials do not thrive under command-and-control leadership. Linda and Morag talk about how a culture of curiosity, learning, diversity, growth, and purpose can future-proof the workplace to lend purpose and power to individuals and teams. Key Takeaways [5:40] Linda explains that the rules of industry were designed for an era with different values and beliefs, such as the belief that people need to be controlled and managed to achieve their goals. The manual manufacturing environment is replaced by automation. ‘Command and control’ is still seen in the office. Linda would rather see ideas put in place to help people be the best they can be, and contribute fully. [9:59] Linda comments on command and control. She considers the pressure to produce and sell, which has been present since the Great Recession, causes leaders to revert to the default style of command and control to meet high-pressure deadlines. [16:09] Linda says more books are written on leadership than any other topic. Leadership has been an issue for thousands of years. The style of leadership that is engaging, focused on development and on the individuals you are leading, with heart, has always been successful. People have tolerated command and control, but changed conditions and technology have made it unsustainable for this century. [17:41] Linda considers how current massive changes may cause us to step back and ask how can we really get to that place we’ve all been talking about for the last 50 years, of belonging, of diversity, with a culture that values people, and makes them feel they can participate and innovate, and feel appreciated. Things will never be as they were in the 1960s, so embrace the change and transform along with it. [20:11] Morag studied authors Christophe Morin, Sebastian Junger, and Robin Dunbar for her first book, on the importance of professional relationships. Technology gives us an illusion of connection, but social media friends are not friends to call on in an emergency. The neuroscience of what makes us human — how we work together, is important. Morag cites Daniel Pink on autonomy, mastery, and purpose. [23:02] Linda stresses the importance of purpose. Purpose needs to be the rallying cause. People get much more excited about what they’re doing, when thinking from a purposeful perspective. Deep down, people do want to help other people, and want to make and do things that will make a difference and leave a legacy. [24:56] Connection and empathy are basic principles. Morag suggests pausing to check in, and connect, before you dive into the project. Relationships are critical to success in the 21st century. Linda says technology gives us information very quickly, but the emotional connection, and feeling of a relationship is what makes a difference to people. Google research shows that the best teams care about each other. [34:18] Morag says leaders today need to have these conversations: what culture do we have on this team, what are our rules of engagement, and how are we working together? Start creating a language and framework that effects change, at your level of influence, if you are not in the C-suite. There will be a ripple effect to the rest of the organization. [39:17] Deal humanely with people that don’t produce. But saying that a certain percentage will be cut is toxic. Look at your strategy, and look at your people. Who has the skills now to move the strategy forward, who needs development, and who would work better in another area, or at another company? Keep the workforce vital, to deliver on the strategy. Dump the rules, and grow people with the company. [43:49] Morag shares case studies. They helped someone pivot from the mindset of a treadmill career track to a portfolio career, where the same skills performed a different role, and provided empowerment and fulfillment. Linda and Morag helped a team move past the way it has always been done, to an innovative, influential solution. Linda and Morag helped an organization find hidden talent in-house. [47:18] Linda shares a cultural transformation story of a Canadian division of a global company. With six months of serious effort, they really changed how leadership acted, and how they were interacting with the company. They measured the results with psychometric tools. Over a year, they were able to turn the culture around to become a star division in the company. Use science, not hunches, to make changes.

I am so happy to know that this podcast has really done so well that we have persons listening to us from all different parts of the world in over 70 countries worldwide – that is just amazing! We focus primarily on Customer Experience, Leadership, Business Development, How to Win the Customers, Service Recovery, Social Media Customer Care. We have touched on so many topics in the last twelve (12) months and it has just been a wonderful experience and to know that I am here today to proudly report to you that we are being listened to again in over 70 countries by over 5,000 people is just a really proud moment for me! I really wanted to express my deepest gratitude to all our listeners out there and even those future listeners who will be hearing this episode when it is aired. Today I would like to focus on Winning Accounts vs. Winning Relationships - Winning an account is a great accomplishment and is usually celebrated by the boss and the team as this means more business and more money. Just as any other accomplishment achieved requires maintenance and consistency so does maintaining a consistent relationship with that account holder. Every business works extremely hard to acquire new customers. In order to acquire the business, your first step would be to make initial contact with the customer either through email, phone or face to face. After initial contact you now have the customer’s attention, they may purchase your service or product based on their needs. Let’s take a look at a few examples: Scenario 1 - a newly opened print supplies business opens and they contact you to tell you about their products and services and also how competitive their prices are. You advise them that you already have someone that supplies you with toners and stationery for your office and you decline their offer. They call back one month later and remind you of their services and products because they would really like to stay front and centre in your mind in order to “win your account.” Six months pass and every month they call you to share the same information. One day they even show up at your office with sample products and a free giveaway bag. After one year of courting you – you eventually start purchasing items from them. However, the difference in behaviour is they no longer call and check up to see if you need supplies and months pass sometimes before you even remember that they still exist. Scenario 2 – an automotive company has sales representatives who prospect at different events and one day while attending a business luncheon you were approached by one and you were intrigued by the cars they sold and also the features and benefits of these vehicles. The sales representative calls you weekly as they know you really want to change your vehicle. They contact the bank and have the relationship manager at the bank call you, they also contact the insurance company and arrange for everything. Over 6 months have passed and you have encountered other automotive sales representatives but the original one that you met stands out in your mind as they always followed up no matter what. Therefore, when you were ready to make the purchase – you automatically called the representative who contacted you consistently. You finally receive your new vehicle and the representative called you a day after the delivery of your car and also a week after. However, one year has passed and you have never heard back from that representative. In all the above scenarios – we must recognize that winning the customers’ account is very important, however, building strong relationships is much more important. Customers do not want to be treated as transactions instead they would like to be treated as people. All customers want value added services. My challenge to you is think of your business offering and look at how you can offer value-added service to your customers….. Statistics have shown that people don’t remember what you did but they do remember how you made them feel. How do your customers feel after doing business with you – are your customers your biggest fans? Do they speak highly of your company? Do your team members feel proud to work at your company? When they wear their branded shirts with your company logo and go in public areas do they feel proud to represent your brand and company? If the answer to any of these questions is NO! Your company specifically your leaders need to look at why the team may feel this way and also why the customers feel this way because as we stated before human beings usually remember how you made them feel! Tips for Building Relationships Give back to your existing and loyal customers even if you are a monopoly. Customers like to know they are saving money or they are getting value like a free item or service for a month such coupons and complimentary gift certificates. Use the information in your customer records such as birthday, anniversary, upgrades or specials in relation to a previous purchase a customer made. Courtesy calls for customers just to see how their business is doing and also how they are doing as people. This can be scheduled such as every 6 months. Do business with the companies that do business with you. We should all support each other especially the people who support you. This will allow you to get to know your customers on another level as well. Be human. This last tip is quite simple but if not applied can damage your business. A company is not made up of equipment, machinery, products etc. but people are the ones responsible for how your employees feel and how your customers feel! Be connected in your words and actions, be deliberate when working with your team and customers and make sure you show compassion in your interactions because “People won’t show you how much they care, until you show them how much you care.” Links Navigating the Customer Experience Facebook Community Navigating the Customer Experience Twitter First Online Programme – Mastering Customer Experience and Increasing Your Revenue
