If we are to be completely in a relationship, we have to be whole, aware individuals who know what to feeland what we want as well as what we think, and we have to truly want to be in a community with others. I believe we can't come into the relationship dependant on others to get approval to make us feel whole.When we come to relationships as whole individuals committed to acepting others in our community for who they are, as they are, we are committing to the relationship rather than ourselves, without giving up ourselves...HOT Leadership

At senior levels, execution alone rarely determines results. Most decisions, promotions, and initiatives depend on how effectively you work with other people.In this episode of Grounded and Aligned™, Karen Gombault looks at a pattern that appears consistently in her work with senior leaders: when progress slows, a relationship dynamic is usually involved. It may be a new boss reshaping the organization, a promotion discussion influenced by several decision-makers, tension between senior peers, or the challenge of aligning large teams.Many experienced leaders still approach their role primarily through execution. Yet as scope increases, outcomes depend increasingly on influence, alignment, and how work moves through other people.Karen introduces a practical way to think about workplace relationships so that they are not treated as informal networking or personality chemistry. Instead, they become part of how leaders deliver on their responsibilities.Karen looks at:Why relationships become more decisive as roles expand and decisions involve multiple stakeholders.The difference between relationships that shape long-term opportunities and those that determine whether work actually happens.The informal individuals inside organizations who influence how actions and decisions are interpreted.Why most senior leaders need one or two trusted relationships that provide direct, honest perspective.How clarity about your objectives changes which relationships matter.Relationships at work are not primarily social connections. For leaders with significant scope, they are part of how decisions move, how initiatives progress, and how judgment develops over time.Next stepsIf your scope has recently expanded and you are operating with greater visibility and stakeholder complexity, a short, structured reset can materially improve how you deploy your time and authority....Book a Focus-15. In 15 minutes, you will clarify what requires your attention now, what no longer does, where to focus to reinforce authority, and one concrete adjustment to implement immediately. You will leave with a clear direction for the next 30 days.https://www.karengombault.com/schedule Follow Karen's writing on Substack, where she examines the structural importance of relationships and alignment at senior levels.https://karengombault.substack.com

Our inspiring podcast guest today, Scott Tillema, is an award-winning keynote speaker and negotiation expert who helps leaders navigate difficult conversations with confidence, influence, and trust. Drawing on more than 20 years in law enforcement, including his work as an FBI-trained hostage negotiator and a business negotiator trained through the Harvard University Program on Negotiation, Scott brings rare, real-world insight into what it takes to lead effectively in high-stakes moments. His work focuses on showing leaders how to connect first, influence second, and create outcomes that move people and businesses forward. In this episode, Scott unpacks the psychology behind negotiation and human connection through four key factors: understanding, timing, delivery, and respect. He shares how his early life, career in law enforcement, and deep study of human behavior shaped his approach, why judgment blocks connection, and how problem-solving can sometimes stand in the way of true empathy. We also explore what bad leadership can teach us, why influence is a learnable skill, and why we should never forget that connection is at the very heart of influence. Join us for an eye-opening conversation about how to harness the influence you may not even know you have to change the world for the better.   Key Highlights From This Episode: Scott's beginnings in hostage negotiations from studying psychology and working in law enforcement. [04:45] How his childhood and early adult experiences shaped his curiosity about what drives people. [06:53] How judgment acts as a barrier to connection and ultimately negotiation. [11:20] Four factors of negotiation: understanding, timing, delivery, and respect. [17:03] Why it is truly possible for anyone to become a strong verbal influencer. [21:32] What we can learn from bad leadership and the mistakes they make along the way. [26:12] Why problem-solving creates a barrier to true empathy. [31:02] A final word of encouragement about the influence you might not know you have.

We've never had more freedom in our relationships—yet many of us feel more disconnected than ever. Marriage, family, and even the workplace have all been reshaped by shifting norms, new technologies, and rising expectations. Happiness, once a nice-to-have, is now the very glue that keeps both couples and teams together.Few people understand these changes better than Esther Perel. For decades, she's helped us rethink intimacy, navigate conflict, and reimagine what a healthy connection looks like—at home and now at work with her new conversation inducing game of questions, Where Should We Begin? At Work. Esther and I explore how our ideas of love and partnership have evolved, why friendships can be just as life-giving as romance, and why learning to “talk to strangers” may be the most important skill for the next generation. We also dive into the role of play, trust, and risk-taking in building lasting bonds.If you care about creating relationships that are strong enough to withstand the pressures of modern life, this episode might just be for you.This is A Bit of Optimism.To learn more about Esther's work, visit: www.estherperel.comAnd to check out Where Should We Begin?

On Episode 40 of Mindful Warrior Radio, we welcome Dr. Lisa Firestone — Clinical Psychologist, Director of Research and Education at the Glendon Association, and Senior Editor at PsychAlive.org. Dr. Firestone is the coauthor of numerous articles and book chapters and has written several books with her father, Robert Firestone, including The Self Under Siege, Conquer Your Critical Inner Voice, Creating a Life of Meaning and Compassion, and Sex and Love in Intimate Relationships. Her extensive clinical training and research in the areas of suicide and violence have led to the development of several assessments, including the Firestone Assessment of Self-Destructive Thoughts (FAST), the Firestone Assessment of Suicide Intent (FASI), and the Firestone Assessment of Violent Thoughts (FAVT), which are used with both adults and adolescents. In this insightful conversation, Dr. Firestone explores the impact of attachment styles on leadership and working relationships. She outlines the characteristics of each attachment style and offers tools for managing and understanding our own patterns. She also emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, mindfulness, and compassion in the process of personal and professional growth. Dr. Firestone explains, “We didn't develop [our attachment style] as a choice. What we did was make the best adaptation we could to what was there, and that happened as our nervous system was still forming. So it is in our brain, it's in our bones—it's part of us. But we need to be kind to ourselves about it. We came by it honestly. We might even disapprove of a behavior, like being too harsh on people, but beating ourselves up doesn't help. It really helps to have what a dear friend and colleague of mine calls a ‘COAL' attitude—Curious, Open, Accepting, and Loving. That's what people might call self-compassion.” Dr. Firestone adds, “We all get triggered at times. It doesn't matter what type of attachment we have—even if it's secure. Something can bring up a feeling that dysregulates us. But the healthier our attachment is, the more we can say, ‘Oh, okay—I got dysregulated,' and then do something to regulate ourselves and repair.” On healing and transformation, she shares, “Everything in life will go better if you start to resolve some of that unresolved trauma. People want a quick fix or a way around it, but we really have to walk through it. And I think that's true for all of us. Again—with a kind attitude. This didn't happen for no reason. It doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. It means you had a rough beginning.” You can learn more about Dr. Lisa Firestone's work at www.drlisafirestone.com, www.psychalive.org, and www.glendon.org.

Gio recounted a 12-year estrangement from a former Pittsburgh colleague who blamed him for his firing. He recently learned, via Ann Liguori at the US Open, that this individual was speaking as if they were still close, prompting Gio to respond graciously. The challenges of working with someone you're not on speaking terms with were discussed. C-Lo's update followed a caller's thoughts on the Netflix submersible documentary. C-Lo then shared his perspective on Chris Kreider's trade to the Ducks. Audio of Carlos Mendoza's heated exchange with an umpire over balls and strikes. There was also a segment detailing BT's "Volpe song," only to reveal that BT had actually taken the lyrics from a caller, which C-Lo's audio confirmed. The hour concluded with a discussion about Rangers fans' relationship with Chris Kreider.

These days, with everyone multitasking and constantly plugged in, real connection can feel rare. But what if the key to resilience and healthy relationships wasn't about talking more, but listening better? In a world filled with noise, distraction, and division, could the simple act of truly listening be the key to deeper connection, better mental health, and greater understanding—even across opposing viewpoints?

In this episode of Promoted: Stop Doubting, Start Leading, host Karen Gombault shares a powerful case study and a practical communication strategy that transformed a client's strained professional relationship. If you're leading in a high-pressure environment and finding yourself clashing with a colleague, this simple mindset shift might be the key to unlocking trust, collaboration, and stronger connections at work. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS:Improve tense relationships by entering conversations believing the other person is at least 10% right.Use the exact phrase: “What I like about what you said is…” to show understanding and foster openness.This strategy forces you to truly listen—authentically and with compassion.When others feel seen and heard, they are more likely to engage constructively.Improving relationships doesn't require both people to change—it starts with one person choosing to show up differently."Go into every single conversation thinking that the other person is at least 10% right and that will change your relationship with them and improve your relationship over time." - Karen GombaultLeadership is not about having perfect relationships—it's about how you show up in the hard ones. By approaching even difficult colleagues with openness, curiosity, and intentionality, you set the tone and influence the entire dynamic. It's simple. It's powerful. And it works. Try the 10% rule this week—and see what shifts. Be the leader who makes things better.

Leaders often think relationships are built on instincts, but what if they're actually built on systems? In this episode, executive and leadership coach Trevor Timbeck challenges the idea that relationship-building is purely emotional or intuitive. Instead, he breaks down how intentional systems—like structured feedback loops, proactive communication, and even remembering birthdays—can create stronger, more meaningful connections at work.We dive into:✅ Why every relationship already has a system, whether you realize it or not✅ How leaders can shift from passive to proactive relationship management✅ The power of feedback as a system (and why most leaders fail at it)✅ How personal and professional relationships thrive on predictability and intentionBy the end of this conversation, you'll see relationships not as random but as repeatable, improvable systems that can transform workplace culture and leadership success.

This is episode 3 of a 4-part special series on mental health with Dr. Paul Conti, M.D., a psychiatrist who did his medical training at Stanford School of Medicine and residency at Harvard Medical School. He is the author of the book, “Trauma: The Invisible Epidemic.” Dr. Conti explains how to find, develop and strengthen healthy relationships — including romantic relationships, work and colleague relationships, and friendships. He explains a roadmap of the conscious and unconscious mind that can allow anyone to navigate conflicts better and set healthy boundaries in relationships. We also discuss common features of unhealthy relationships and clinically supported tools for dealing with relationship insecurity, excessive anxiety, past traumas, manipulation and abuse. Dr. Conti explains how, in healthy relationships, there emerges a dynamic of the mutually generative “us” and how to continually improve that dynamic. The next episode in this special series explores true self-care, which can be cultivated through a process of building self-awareness along with other important practices.   For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.
