Are you living an ethical life? Sounds like a strange question, but after much talking about living in a way that is aligned with our beliefs, we could go deeper and discover if they underpin a way of living that is good for us AND for the others. In an age of relativism where many think that what *they* believe is the absolute truth,  that impossible to discuss, in a world where there is no longer right or wrong (or is there? Maybe it has always been there) it's fascinating to discuss an ethical life from a different point of view. For this conversation I was honored to host the Ethics Ninja,  professor, Rabbi and Ted talk speaker Yonason Goldson. Together we go deep into the realm of what an ethical life might look like in our families, at work and - why not - in businesses and governments. Tune in to find out what it takes to live ethically, doing good and taking responsibly and ultimately experiencing a much richer and more fulfilling life - while allowing others to do the same.   #ethical #living    #ethics #morality #values #purpose #mindfulness #conscious #living #personal #growth #self #improvement #social #responsibility #business #ethics #leadership #relativism #absolutism #Yonason #Goldson #Ethics #Ninja #Ted #Talk #podcast   Video link https://youtu.be/hGw2Va6z6C8 Yonason Goldson took the long road to the rabbinate, graduating the University of California with a degree in English Literature, circumnavigating the globe, hitchhiking across the United States, and backpacking across Europe before he settled into nine years of talmudic scholarship in the Land of Israel.

In this podcast episode, we hear from Yonason Goldson, known as the "ethics ninja," who imparts the wisdom of always being prepared with something compelling to say. This advice, which he received during his rabbinic training in Israel, has proven invaluable in his roles as a community rabbi, a teacher, and a professional speaker. Goldson emphasizes the importance of being ready to offer relevant and engaging ideas at a moment's notice, which has earned him a reputation for reliably presenting valuable insights.Phil Gerbyshak, the host, delves into Goldson's experiences and the lessons he learned from being thrust into speaking opportunities without prior notice. Goldson shares an anecdote from his training days when the dean of his program demonstrated the significance of impromptu speaking, which left a lasting impression on him. Goldson explains that the active participation in such an exercise left a deeper impact than simply being taught the lesson verbally.The conversation shifts to leadership and the necessity for leaders to communicate clearly, especially during challenging times. Goldson cites historical figures like Harry Truman as examples of leaders who embodied integrity and made unpopular decisions for the greater good. He stresses that true leadership involves making difficult choices and standing by one's principles, regardless of immediate popularity.As the discussion turns to the challenges of maintaining a long-term perspective in leadership, Goldson and Gerbyshak ponder how leaders can sustain their influence and adhere to their values in a landscape often dominated by short-term thinking. Goldson asserts that having moral clarity, historical awareness, and intellectual integrity is crucial for engaging in civil and productive dialogue.The two also touch on the need for genuine recognition and praise in leadership, as opposed to empty gestures like participation trophies. They agree that specific, earned recognition is far more meaningful than generic accolades. Goldson highlights the importance of setting clear expectations, providing the necessary resources, and offering constructive feedback to foster a trusting environment where individuals can thrive.In closing, Goldson offers advice for leaders who struggle with communication. He suggests asking questions and actively listening to others as a starting point for better understanding and empathy. By acknowledging the concerns of others and being open to suggestions, leaders can build a more cohesive and motivated team.Goldson concludes by encouraging leaders to consistently demonstrate positive behaviors and to actively seek opportunities to address the concerns of their team. The episode wraps up with Gerbyshak thanking Goldson for his insights and mentioning his book, "Grappling with the Grey," available at ethicsninja.com, along with his podcast of the same name. ★ Support this podcast ★ This is a public episode.

Karen Loomis started us off with what that saying means at first blush – go as hard as you can and do all of the things. Hard driving, fast moving. All of it all of the time. Grab all the opportunities. But what if there aren't opportunities to grab?   She added further into the conversation that it means letting go of your to-do list and doing the thing that is now or never.   Yonason Goldson said he used to be the kind of person who said no and then thought about the question. Then he realized he was missing out on things so he switched to saying yes and then thinking about it. That wasn't the best option either. The ideal is somewhere in the middle.   Stewart Wiggins said he used to follow the “go forward as fast as you can, as hard as you can” idea of seizing the day. But now he has a more measured approach. Sometimes seizing the day means putting your feet up and letting the world happen around you.   I agree with all of those things. And I think there needs to be an addendum that says, “Do the things that make you happy and don't feel guilty about it.”   What does it mean to you to “seize the day?”   Connect with the panelists: Stewart Wiggins: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stewart-wiggins/ Induna Advisors – where he offers Fractional Chief Operating Officer services and Brings resources together to help scale your business.   Karen Loomis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kloomis/ Founder at No Moss Brands. 20 years as a marketing and branding professional.

As one would expect Rabbi Yonason Goldson started us off with the biblical idea of “love your neighbor as yourself.” The idea being that you have to love yourself before you can love others. But what does it mean to love something or someone?  He even gave us a quick lesson on Ahavah, the Hebrew word for love.   Lori Donofrio-Galley agreed that you do need to love yourself to love others saying, “If you're able to care and nurture and grow yourself and develop yourself, you'll have a much greater capacity to love others and to understand how to love other people.”   Bonnie Sussman-Versace commented on how once you learn self-love it just happens and you don't have to think about it anymore.   Listening back to this conversation I wondered if that was true. But in the moment that wasn't the question I asked.   Instead, I wondered if you can't look in the mirror and say “I love you” it is not possible to love someone else.   And, if I don't love myself, how do I accept love from someone else?   What do you think? Is self-love a prerequisite to loving others?   Connect with the panelists: Yonason Goldson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yonason-goldson/ aka the Ethics Ninja and the Hitchhiking Rabbi, works with leaders to create a culture of ethics that earns trust, sparks initiative, and limits liability.  He is the award-winning podcast host of Grappling with the Gray and author of the book of the same name, as well as Executive Vice President of the Missouri Chapter of the Coalition for Jewish Values.    Lori Donofrio-Galley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-donofrio-galley-9a970046/ I am a first-born, Type A personality who is loyal and visionary and always finishes!

Very rarely is does an "overnight" success actually happen that quickly. It is more common to hear someone say it took ten years of work to become an "overnight" success.   We've talked on Quick Hits before about how do you know when you should quit, pivot or do something different.   Today I wanted to talk about just sticking with it. Seeing it through to the bitter end (whatever that means in business).   All three of my panelists have experience in trials and tribulations that come with business ownership and know the feeling of wanting it NOW while being willing to do the things and allow the time it takes for something to grow.   Stewart Wiggins, Yonason Goldson and Emily Rentas shared some poignant thoughts about patience with yourself and the process is important but too much patience can lead to complacency and stagnation.   What do you think? How much of business success is about being willing to be patient?

I was very interested in what this all-male panel would have to say about imbalance in relationships and they did not disappoint. Could it be as Michael Sicuranza commented that some imbalance is to be expected and might not be a bad thing? Or is there something to Kevin Wash and Yonason Goldson's point that there is never a situation where imbalance is a good thing? And as James Haile pointed out, the personal growth that comes from being on different life path, traveling more or working in a large corporate environment, can create imbalance in a personal relationship. Who is responsible for noticing and re-balancing a relationship? Is that possible? How long does a relationship have to be out of balance for it to be a problem as opposed to the normal ebb and flow of life? Is "balance" something you try to create in your relationships? How does it work?

[3:04] Relationships are the foundation of all success in our personal lives, professional lives, and [3:17] When we consider ethics, one of the problems we have is that we don't have a good definition of ethics, which means we don't know how we can be ethical people. [3:30] What I've come up with is that ethics is the discipline of recognizing and taking responsibility for the impact our actions have on other people. [3:42] In order to have that recognition and take that responsibility, we have to have a sense of who other people are, show them that we are trustworthy, and show that we are willing to trust them. [3:53] Instead of seeing differences as a source of contention, we should see an opportunity for great partnerships between people who are very different from one another. [4:32] If we're both good at the same thing, that means at least one of us is wasting our effort. [4:48] Ethics is not nearly as much about what is the right thing to do but about contemplating what the right thing to do is. It is priorities, competing values, sensitivity to the spirit of the law, and not just the letter of the law. [5:18] When we develop our ethical mindset, that's what enables us to approach all our relationships and decisions in an ethical way, which ultimately drives the greatest possible success in everything we do. [5:46] We emphasize compliance, but it can become the enemy of ethics because if I relegate my decision-making to a code of rules, I don't have to think about whether it's really the right thing to do. [6:40] When I finished college, I went backpacking across Europe and ended up in Israel. I had been raised with really no knowledge of what it meant to be Jewish. [7:10] I was astonished to discover this vibrant culture of deep meaning, purpose, thought, and values, which changed the trajectory of my life. [7:20] I bring that ancient wisdom into the modern secular world and show how the answers are all there; we have to update the language a little bit so that we can recognize how it applies to us and how it guides us regardless of our religious identity or affiliation. [7:33] Jim Rohn famously says you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, and it's not just the friends. It is also what we consume in media. [9:00] When traveling through Europe, I was on a train from Luxembourg to Cologne, Germany, and I shared a car with a German journalist and invited me into his home. [11:20] To meet someone from that culture and learn about him as an individual, not as a label, is a memory that I've kept with me for 40 years. [11:55] In my book, I used a formula that I use in much of my training, presenting ethical dilemmas of not trying to say it is right or wrong but trying to understand an issue from both sides and finding a middle way. [12:55] It is broken up into social, business headlines, education, and the different areas of life where we have to grapple with the gray areas to make ethical decisions. [11:33] Commercial break. [14:03] It is all about taking responsibility for ourselves, recognizing the mistakes we've made, the areas where we could and should improve, and making a plan for moving forward. [15:30] We know what we should do and what we want to do, but we don't plan how to put it into practice. [16:00] My approach is, if we focus on our mindset and the behaviors will start to follow. [16:22] I use ethics as an acronym to give characteristics that describe ethical leaders and ethical people. [16:32] E is for empathy which entails knowing other people and being sensitive to them by understanding how our actions affect them. [16:45] The T is Trust, where I demonstrate that I'm trustworthy and know that if I'm not willing to trust you, it will be difficult for you to trust me. [16:53] The H is humility which Pastor Rick Warren defines as not thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less. [17:08] The I is inquisitiveness or inquiry because leaders need to ask questions and not wait to be told or asked and not be given permission to serve. [18:24] C is for courage because it is often difficult to do the right thing. [18:52] S is self-discipline because building is a process, and when you get to the end, you start over again and keep building. [19:20] This needs continued reinforced where I need to surround myself with people who are committed to ethical values. [20:40] I am not going to get it right all the time, but it is a commitment to do and another opportunity to learn [20:52] I recommend tapping into this eternal, timeless wisdom that we have access to in ancient teachings to fix our culture, fix our company's business, fix our summers, and fix our families and our communities. [24:45] A few basic principles include showing trust to earn trust, telling stories of grappling with ethical challenges to inspire ethical behavior, and showing appreciation by celebrating the successes of others. [24:59] Suppose we employ these simple principles, and learn how to turn these ideas into action. In that case, we can see our relationships improving, our businesses will be more profitable, our families will be more at peace, and our communities will be much more functional.

Eric and I have the opportunity to speak with a rabbi who is now helping businesses to build trust with their teams and customers. How to Connect and Build Trust by Using Ethics - With Yonason Goldson we discuss the value of ethics and purpose in business. Success in business is ultimately about relationships and trust.Businesses sometimes lose sight of the simple things like doing the right things for their clients. Earning people's trust will help turn your clients into salespeople for your company.  On the other hand there are companies that will pit employees and managers against each other in a survival of the fittest culture. These types of cultures are not sustainable. Yet other companies that build on trust and culture, not only do well, the message of culture travels and people want to do business with thoose cultures.We also touch on the fact that sometimes we have to keep our beliefs to ourselves in order for these same people to at least listen to a message that may help them.  This conversation is one that we could continue for some time. For more quality time with a Hitchiking rabbi, find Yonason Goldson on Linkedin  https://www.linkedin.com/in/yonason-goldson/and his website https://www.yonasongoldson.com/contact

In this episode, Christina Martini and Yonason Goldson discuss: The crisis of ethics facing the world today.  Treating others fairly without unreasonable expectations.  The onset of COVID and how it has added to Yonason’s message personally and professionally. Supporting and lifting one another through struggles and life.  Earning trust before demanding trust.    Key Takeaways: When it comes to ethics, the first place to start is with ourselves.  There have to be consequences and uncomfortable conversations when performance does not meet standards, however, there should be incentives for good behavior, not just punishment for bad behavior.  We are all having different challenges - we need to find ways that we can lift and support one another.  Let others speak, hear their points of view, and ideas will often emerge from unlikely sources or people who would not have been heard otherwise.    "If employers would say to their employees, ‘Listen, we understand this is difficult. We want to support you as much as possible. We need you to take more responsibility for yourselves. And we're going to trust you to do that until we have a reason not to.’ Well, when you speak to people that way, it tends to encourage them to hold themselves more accountable." — Yonason Goldson   About Yonason Goldson: Yonason Goldson is director of Ethical Imperatives, LLC, teaching leaders how good ethics is good business and the benefits of intellectual diversity.

In this episode, Christina Martini and Yonason Goldson discuss: Yonason’s journey to keynote speaking, including teaching, hitchhiking, and living in Israel. Understanding both sides of an argument or a position to better understand your position.  The value in giving and receiving and creating a culture of trust.  The mindset of ethical decision making.    Key Takeaways: You will hear more if you listen without the intent to reply. You will learn more about them and about yourself. The more we understand people, the more we understand our place in the world.  It is fashionable to seek the truth, but it is not fashionable to find the truth.  No culture can thrive, or even survive, without trust.  Compliance is the starting point. It's not the endpoint. Compliance is often the enemy of ethics.   "The ability to understand where someone else is coming from, to see an issue from their side, makes it much easier to actually have some kind of constructive disagreement, which leads to finding common ground, which leads to developing solutions, and then ultimately leads to working together and creating a sense of community even when we may see issues differently." —  Yonason Goldson   About Yonason Goldson: Yonason Goldson is director of Ethical Imperatives, LLC, teaching leaders how good ethics is good business and the benefits of intellectual diversity.

A rabbi walked into a bar (after hitchhiking cross-country and sailing up the eastern seaboard in a yacht seized by the Coast Guard for drug trafficking) to enjoy a private performance by a jazz band that cost him the price of a beer. No, this isn't a joke.  This is a life. In fact, it's my life.  And it's only one small piece of it. HOW I GOT HERE? What do you do when you graduate from the University of California with a degree in English?   That was the question that set me off across the United States hitching rides and sleeping in hostels, campgrounds, or by the side of the road.  Half a year later, I set out farther afield, this time across Europe, intending to circle the globe via Africa, Australia, and a return trip to Asia.  (But that's another story.) He's studied at the University of Edinburgh, taught school in Budapest, Hungary, and seen Richard III performed in Ashland, Oregon, and Stratford-on-Avon.  He's been a professional speaker and teacher for over two decades, published five books, raised four children, and been married to the love of his life for over 30 years. But none of that is what corporations, associations, or educational institutions want to hear. What they want to hear is what he's learned and what he has to teach — namely, the accumulated wisdom of over 3000 years translated into the language of our times. Whatever the audience, he can make them laugh, make them cry, make them think and make them wonder. https://www.yonasongoldson.com/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mrskeshspeaks/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mrskeshspeaks/support

Success and scalability stem from the ethical application of business practices. But, in a fast-paced, revenue-driven world, it’s almost just become an afterthought. In almost every company, there is a written or unwritten code for how people should behave in the workplace. But without carefully examining and applying a work culture that reflects ethical standards, company culture may just as well be another set of words plastered on the wall. World-renowned TEDx speaker, Yonason Goldson, shares with us the importance of business ethics in the foundation of healthy work relationships and success. He tells us why startups also need to prioritize business ethics, the significance of creating a positive employee experience, and the role that trust, teamwork, and accountability play in paving the way for scalability.

How do you get your employees to take responsibilities for their actions? In the USA today everyone is big on their rights, but should we also be big on our responsibilities? Join us as Yonason Goldson shares his life experiences, from a cross country hitchhiker to ethics professor helping businesses create leaders that build responsibility in their staff.

It was very transformative. ·       Lived in Israel for 9 years, met his wife and had 2 kids there. ·       He started his career in Israel, teaching high school students. ·       He then taught in St Louis for 20 years, until the school he taught in, closed. ·       At the age of 55, he was jobless. He was not ready to retire. ·        Yonason always enjoyed teaching and speaking. He wanted to direct his message towards a professional audience. ·       His passion lay in ethical leadership, because ethics is the underpinning in everything. It's the foundation of all living. ·       He targeted professional associations as a platform/keynote speaker for their conferences. ·       He reached out to them on his own, using the encyclopedia of associations. The Advice: Ethics begins where compliance ends. Compliance, laws and legal systems give us structure and boundaries; however ethics is all about the grey, because it is a grey area. This is what develops us as human beings; it's that ethical discipline of thinking about what's the right thing to do, how my actions impact those around us, how are my contributing to a better world. If I do, then I get to live in that better world, so being selfless is being selfish. If we have that attitude in our relationships, then we will succeed in everything.  Current Struggle: Struggle 1: Yonason's struggle is finding the niche, because ethics applies to any business, but it is much more effective if one can identify the specific type of client. Yonason is thinking of looking into healthcare and medicine. As that is where he has gotten most of his clients. Currently, covid has had a significant impact on his business, because the conferences, that were his target, haven't been happening. He could join the corporate but that is too big. The Breakthrough: Estie advises that if Yonason is looking for corporate, he will be able to sell to them, because Estie doesn't know any corporate executive who doesn't want the ethical mindset of getting employees who look outside of themselves and performing above and beyond their call of duty. Business is an exchange of value for value. If Yonason wants to break into the...

He explains, “When you create a culture of trust, that generates loyalty, it generates passion, it generates productivity... The employees are engaged and want to give their all... And so they're looking for opportunities to prove themselves by doing the best they can. And you have a company culture that thrives, it's vibrant, it’s exciting. People want to come to work, and success is a foregone conclusion.” How Alcoa’s market value increased by 900% because of Paul O'Neill’s ethical leadership is a testament to the value of building a culture of trust, he says. He then talks about the huge cost of worker disengagement and points out that “Companies that are ranked highest for ethics, they grow faster than average, employees report being more satisfied, being more energized, being more loyal, recommending this job to friends and family.” Listening Is a Key Leadership Skill Tom comments that the ability to listen is the second most important step in fostering a speak-up culture. Yonason says that listening is how we get to know other people, and the more we know other people, the more we know ourselves. “The more discussion there is looking from every possible angle, the more likely it is that the conclusions and the decisions that we reach are going to be the best possible conclusions and decisions that we can reach,” he remarks.   Lessons from Coronavirus Tom asks Yonason to share the practical lessons about ethics that we can learn from the pandemic. Yonason summarizes them as: Everything you do matters: the essence of ethics is to be aware of how your actions affect the world around you. Protect your ethical health: behavior is infectious. What you don’t see can hurt you. We need each other. Don’t wait for the next epidemic. Secrets of Ethical Affluence You can become ethically affluent by minding the CoDE of ethics. Yonason explains that this acronym stands for Communication, Diversity, and Ethics. He details why each aspect is important. Of diversity he says, “Diversity is not just cultural or ethnic diversity, it’s intellectual diversity. It’s having people coming from different points of view… and different experiences… That intellectual diversity stimulates thought and new ideas…” Resources YonasonGoldson.com Yonason Goldson on LinkedIn The ROI of Ethics The Ethics of Epidemic TEDx Talk: How I Became My Own Worst Nightmare Ebook: The Secrets of Ethical Affluence Learn more about your ad choices.

Note to listeners: This episode was recorded in March 2020 just after the coronavirus (COVID-19) was recognised as a pandemic by the World Health Organisation on 11 March 2020, but before most countries had begun lockdown. In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Yonason Goldson about the price of our personal ethical choices. They also discussed why it's a fallacy that you have to choose between being good and being successful. The danger of tribalism and identity politics was discussed and Yonason reminded us of Albus Dumbledore's words: It takes a lot of courage to stand up to our enemies but just us much to stand up to our friends. It's one thing to be a member of a community but its something else entirely to sacrifice one's identity and intellectual independence and integrity - that's the belief of Socialised Mavericks.  Ethics is a struggle, one right versus another right or one wrong versus another wrong. Being ethical doesn't mean making the right choices each time, its grappling with ethical dilemma each time. The more we grapple with your moral compass, the more you strengthen your ethical muscles. A culture of ethics in business ensures more loyal customers.  Listen to the rest of the conversation.

He was in his early 20s when he decided to hitchhike across the US, just to explore and meet people. It was being on the road in those conditions that made Yonason Goldson an exceptional listener and discerner of each person's truth. We met via LinkedIn, and I was eager to have a chat with the Rabbi to hear more of his stories, especially after reading his article about the time a young Jewish student asked about the obvious scar on the back of his ear from when he had it pierced years before studying to become a Rabbi. His TEDx is all about why labels create painful distortions in our relationships, and why we have to be so careful about applying those generalizations to individuals. Connect with him on LinkedIn, and visit Rabbi Yonason Goldson's website to learn more about his work as a keynote speaker, writer, and teacher. And here's a hint: He makes a great speaker for any audience, he just happens to be a Rabbi and uses his experiences to bring his outstanding stories and lessons to life.

Yonason Goldson shares that the biggest mistake any leader can make is believing that you have to choose between being ethical and being successful. He believes that ethical leadership can synthesize purpose and profit, human values and market value, and a team that works both for you and with you. From his hitchhiking adventures around the world, to his exploration of ancient spirituality, today's guest has embarked on a journey of seeking truth and sharing it in meaningful ways to benefit people, create community, and unite people around the values that they care about so deeply.

When we think of how we communicate on a personal level, we don’t naturally think of it in terms of ethics and responsibility. But there’s an ethical component to our relationships that is important to acknowledge and discuss. This is especially true when it comes to conversations that happen in groups or that impact large numbers of people, like they do in our neighborhoods, work, schools, places of worship, and government. Our question this episode: what can ethics teach us about effective communication? My guest today is Yonason Goldson, who will give us some insights on how ethics can inform how we communicate with others, and what our experiences in professional settings can tell us about how to have better conversations about sticky topics – such as politics – in personal settings. Immediately after our conversation, I’m going to turn to a listener question from Jessica, who wants to know how to communicate better to her fast-moving boss.
