On this episode, we discuss teaching our kiddos skills such as empathy, compassion, and critical thinking. Some of us are born with them, but for the rest of us...we need to learn them. As parents, how can we ensure our kiddos will learn these important EQ skills? Modeling, books, conversations, we chat about how we've used these with our own children.

Tom Rath is an author and researcher who has spent the past two decades studying how work can improve human health and well-being. Tom has 10 books, which have sold more than 10 million copies. He has made hundreds of appearances on global best-selling lists. What you're going to find out form this conversation is that even though Tom's resume is loaded and quite remarkable, he really thinks about contribution quite a bit. His first book, How Full is your Bucket, speaks to meaning and purpose mean to us. That book was an instant New York Times Bestseller and led to a series of books that are used in classrooms around the world. His book StrengthsFinder 2.0 is how I learned about Tom. It's Amazon's top-selling non-fiction book of all-time. Tom's other bestsellers include Strengths-Based Leadership; Wellbeing; Eat Move Sleep, and Are You Fully Charged? He's also co-authored two illustrated books for children, How Full is Your Bucket? For Kids, and The Rechargeables. His most recent books are Life's Great Question: Discover how you Contribute to the World, and It's Not About You: A Brief Guide to a Meaningful Life, published in partnership with Amazon Original Series. Tom also spent 13 years at Gallup, where he led the organization's strengths, employee engagement, well-being and leadership consulting worldwide. He has served for the past 5 years as an external advisor in Gallup Senior Scientist. At his core, Tom really is a researcher. He's somebody who loves to get in the weeds and find out what the science says about wellbeing and how we can be our best selves. He's also served as the vice-chair of the VHL Cancer Research Organization and has been a regular lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania. Most recently, Tom co-founded a publishing company, and he's also an advisor, investor, and partner in several startups. This conversation is wide-ranging. It's not just about Tom's accomplishments, it's also about how he sees the world, what it's like for him to be a father and a husband, and just a great overall citizen.   Tom had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “I am most comfortable when I am alone, thinking to myself or reading about new research each morning, which I still do meticulously” (7:00). “It's a huge waste that we wait to eulogize people until after they're gone” (8:50). “When I either learn something new in a day or when something I've believed in especially strongly is proven wrong, nothing makes me happier than to be that wrong, because it means I've learned something new and I'm being open-minded” (12:50). “Learning is a great way to fill your own bucket” (13:15). “I don't think anything is more important from a leadership standpoint than to really think about a good question you could ask to someone who looks to you for guidance and keep all your devices stowed away and genuinely close your mouth for a while and listen and process that” (14:20). “Ask a question and then don't follow-up or push or prod for at least 30-60 seconds” (15:45). “It's in the free time and the play time that we act like our true selves a little bit more” (16:20). “Sleep is the most underestimated need” (16:50). “I see everything through the eulogy values of what I'm doing that's meaningful for people versus some of the accomplishment stuff that might have been more relevant to me ten or twenty years ago” (25:00). “Most of us are dealing with some real challenge and most people we interact with never know that, so I always have to remind myself to presume that someone else is dealing with the same stuff” (27:45). “The way that we've built the expectation of what work is and what it should be just needs to be blown up” (34:40). “We've got to question how we can make work a better experience” (35:50). “On average, work is harming people” (36:20). “We've got to find ways to infuse more movement into our work routine” (44:05). “Observing kids has been a gift during the pandemic” (45:25). “I have more fun working on other author's projects than writing my own books” (46:30). “The biggest contribution for me is having a family that I'm really proud of” (51:40). “We need to start talking about our lives from more of a contribution standpoint than a resume and accomplishment standpoint” (58:05).   Additionally, you can find more about all of the books Tom has been involved with publishing here! I'd also encourage you to check out the Contribify website here. You can also connect with Tom on Twitter and LinkedIn. Thank you so much to Tom for coming on the podcast!

Today on Bold Steps as we move ahead in our series on … Making All Things New, Pastor Mark Jobe is going to be looking at the story of the Woman at the Well.  Jesus was able to see the unseen root problems with this woman and ultimately, he was able to Rewrite her story.  And that’s what He wants to do with each one of us … Jesus showed her how to change her spiritual focus from her brokenness … to a thirst for God.

How do we manage performance effectively? During this Virtual People & Performance Management series, we have seen that if we are consistent in following the skills outlined in our PERFORM model then the chances of encountering an instance of underperformance are dramatically reduced. However, we know from our HR Uprising audience that managing underperformance is a persistent concern. Furthermore, for many businesses it is likely increased without the perceived assurance of seeing people physically. In this week's episode of Virtual People & Performance Management Lucinda explores how best we can manage performance. Indeed, why now is the time for all people managers to develop the skills needed to get the best out of their people and this is largely about clear, courageous conversations.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Certainly, as soon as we start making judgements about the individual, based on our perception of their behaviour, we run the risk of creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Indeed, maintaining rapport and trust throughout the process are essential for an effective diagnosis as well as establishing a foundation of trust for the future. Without doubt, the most common cause of underperformance is lack of clarity...and guess whose responsibility it is to ensure their staff member has clarity about what is expected? Provide development opportunities that suit the way that individual learns best whether online or by buddying with others. Furthermore, consider how shared learning activities can be set up virtually and encourage a culture of self and virtual team development.   BEST MOMENTS 'The way we choose to deliver the message on underperformance may be the difference between being perceived as an inspirational leader our a tyrant – our choice!' 'It is far better for everyone if we can gather the courage to meet underperformance head on, but with empathy.' 'It's more effective to turn an underperformer round than it is to start again from scratch. The long-term benefits of such courageous conversations can be far reaching for all.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Virtual Management Training Course Virtual People & Performance Management Podcast Short Series Playlist Virtual People and Performance Management - Expectations "How Full is Your Bucket." - Tom Rath Join the HR Uprising LinkedIn Group The host of the HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda Carney, is also the founder and CEO of Actus Software, and author of the best-selling book 'How to be a Change Superhero'.

How do we ensure we recognise people in this hybrid working environment? As we discussed in the episode on feedback, being out of sight really can make identifying the opportunity to provide feedback more difficult. Certainly, the absence of company events like sales conferences and monthly meetings, that previously provided space for formal recognition, has made things more challenging. In this week's episode of Virtual People & Performance Management Lucinda discusses the importance of regular recognition and praise. Furthermore, how we can recognise our employee's achievements, whilst working remotely.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Certainly, finding the opportunity to provide recognition has been negatively affected by remote working with people being 'out of sight, out of mind'. If we are following the PERFORM model we will know our individual employees well enough to understand their motivations. Indeed, how best to recognise them. Certainly, it's been proven, that as humans we are preconditioned to focus on the negatives. To counteract we should be aiming for 3 to 5 times as many positive instances of feedback to one developmental. In a virtual world we can set reminders to implement recognition. However, this is only effective if feedback is sincere.   BEST MOMENTS ‘The most effective recognition is when we understand what type of feedback people need, what is positive to them' ‘Create the habit of catching people doing things right' ‘Recognition is about sincere verbal acknowledgement of the small things'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Virtual Management Training Course Virtual People & Performance Management Podcast Short Series Playlist Virtual People and Performance Management - Expectations "How Full is Your Bucket." - Tom Rath Join the HR Uprising LinkedIn Group The host of the HR Uprising Podcast, Lucinda Carney, is also the founder and CEO of Actus Software, and author of the best-selling book 'How to be a Change Superhero'.

In this episode of The Playful Psychologist, I share how you can use ANY story book to create an emotional learning lesson. I also share my own favourite picture books and  give you the reasons as to why I love them, and how to use them to facilitate a lesson on emotional awareness, identification, and regulation. Most story books have a clear beginning middle and ending and you can use almost any story book to talk about emotions. Picture books are perfect for teaching about emotions at home, but are also super useful in the classroom. The role of the 21st Century teacher has changed drastically. While teachers are there to facilitate your child's learning, their roles and responsibilities have changed dramatically over the past few decades. When we think of the role of a teacher, we think of planning activities, delivering instructions, assessing learning, and managing classroom behaviour. However, more recently, teachers have been expected to also juggle their existing role, whilst also monitoring and assessing the emotional and behavioural well-being of their students. This is an extremely challenging task for teachers, especially considering that most teachers do not feel as though they are given adequate training during their tertiary studies to work on emotional expression/regulation skills with their students. This podcast episode explains how to use story books to explore these lessons with students at school, with your clients in therapy AND with your own kids at home.For your reference, the books discussed are:For Younger Children:In My Heart by Jo Witek Unstoppable Me by Bethany Hamilton & Adam DirksInside Out (the story books/activity books) by Disney Book GroupWhen I'm Feeling (series) by Tracey MoroneyThe Huge Bag of Worries by Virginia Ironside  The Great Big Book of Feelings by Mary Hoffman & Ros AsquithMy Mixed Emotions: Help Your Kids Handle Their Feeling by Maureen HealyThe Invisible String by Patrice KarstHow Full is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath & Mary ReckmayerFor Older Kids & Teens:Some Brains by Nelly ThomasHey Warrior by Karen YoungLove Your Body by Jessica Sanders

Ivy League Prep Academy hosts Steve and Nathaniel discuss how the books they read help them and others prepare for studying at places like Harvard. In this episode we discuss How Full is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath and Donald Clifton

Tom Rath is an author and researcher who has spent the past two decades studying how work can improve human health and well-being. Tom served 13 years at Gallup, where Tom led the organization’s strengths, employee engagement, and leadership consulting worldwide. He is the author of 10 books and has sold more than 10 million copies. Tom’s first book, How Full Is Your Bucket?, co-written with his grandfather during his last year of life, was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller and it is used in classrooms around the world. He is also the author of StrengthsFinder 2.0. Tom has two books out in 2020, Life’s Great Question and It’s Not About You.   Key Takeaways [3:50] Tom shares the evolution of his literary work. [8:40] At Gallup, Tom asked people all over the world what a good life looked like for them. Relationships, what you’re doing in your community, and your health came back to be the top most important things. [9:25] Tom shares what he believes a great life is... [12:10] Your life is better off and other people’s lives are better off because of the work that you’re doing. [15:00] In Tom’s books, he encourages people to take a survey or a quiz at the end. He has learned that if you give people something to do after they’ve read your work, they’re more likely to incorporate your lessons or principals into their lives. [18:40] What people really want from leaders is trust, compassion, stability, and hope. [20:25] Leaders need to push their efforts outward and think deeply about what the world needs. [22:55] It’s in everybody’s best interest to bring humanity back into the work. Human connection leads to better quality work. [28:45] We should challenge ourselves to be better strength-finders for other people. [31:20] Tom has noticed executive teams are woefully deficient in the area of building strong relationships. He believes there are not enough women on leadership teams. [33:10] It’s human nature to surround yourself with people who act and think the same way. Tom believes it’s important to get people to think about how they can uniquely contribute to making a difference in the business from day one. [39:15] When it comes to the future of work, Tom hopes we can develop ways where humans can find their work passions and meanings a lot faster. [41:40] Tom would like to be remembered as a very caring dad and husband, first. Second, he would like to leave a legacy that lives on for years to come. [42:15] Tom’s challenge: What’s one thing you can do today that will continue to grow in your absence?   Quotable Quotes “What’s one thing you can do today that will continue to grow in your absence?” The key to leadership is trust, compassion, stability, and hope. “So many times we’re looking for answers in the wrong places and it seems counterintuitive to say look for happiness outside of you.” “My hunch is that over the next 10–25 years, just standalone narrative books, especially in non-fiction, are going to be harder and harder for people to read through and apply that knowledge.” “The part where we’ve fallen short in helping leaders is to turn a majority of their efforts outward and to think, not only about who they are, but what the world needs.” “The more leaders can draw direct connections with the way their employee’s daily work serves specific constituencies and needs, the more meaningful it makes the work and the better people feel about it, and the more likely they’ll stick with it.” “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is what are you doing for others.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.   Resources and Books Mentioned Tomrath.org Tom on LinkedIn Follow Tom on Twitter @Tomcrath Tom’s Latest book: It’s Not About You: A Brief Guide to a Meaningful Life How Full is Your Bucket? by Tom Rath & Donald Clifton Life’s Great Question: Discover How You Contribute to the World, by Tom Rath Strengths Based Leadership, by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie Strengths Finder 2.0, by Tom Rath Creating the Good Life: Applying Aristotle's Wisdom to Find Meaning and Happiness, by James O'Toole Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less, by Greg McKeown   The Leadership Podcast is Sponsored by:     Cultivate Grit.

Join us as we discuss the “buckets” of contribution, how to have conversations at cocktail parties, and the importance of challenging experiences. Transcript and show notes available at: https://whitneyjohnson.com/tom-rath

As an author and researcher, Tom Rath has impacted countless people with his ideas on how work can improve human health and wellbeing. His ten books, including How Full Is Your Bucket?, Eat Move Sleep, Wellbeing and Strengths Finder 2.0, have sold more than 10 million copies and have made hundreds of appearances on global bestseller lists. His latest book, Life's Great Question: Discover How You Best Contribute to the World, seeks to help people bridge the gap between who they are and what the world needs. Tom shares his insights from his personal journey as an author and dealing with health challenges, and highlights the importance of focusing on your strengths. We also discuss the different aspects of wellbeing and how you can discover your best contribution to the world.   Key Takeaways: [3:45] Tom co-wrote the book How Full is Your Bucket? with his grandfather. What was that initial journey like and how did Tom get on the path of writing? [7:41] There is a lot to be gained and learned just by asking good questions and genuinely listening to others. [11:18] Tom has dealt with health challenges since he was a teenager, and he shares more about that in his book Eat Move Sleep. [14:04] Navigating cancer and other health issues is often accompanied by fear and self-pity. How has Tom dealt with that for almost 30 years? [17:19] What is Tom's advice for people to be able to find good information and not get overwhelmed or freaked out by all the information available? [20:11] Strengths Finder, as an assessment and the book itself, is something that has resonated with many people and leaders. Tom explains how it helps people develop self-awareness, confidence, and direction. [24:20] What's the most effective way of doing things that need to be done that aren’t your (or anyone of your team’s) strength or just need doing? [29:01] What inspired Tom to write the book Life’s Great Question: Discover How You Best Contribute to the World? [34:15] Tom and Mike discuss the importance of human connection and recognizing people for their personal values and who they are as people rather than just a resume list of their achievements. [39:55] Financial wellbeing is an important aspect of wellbeing, but beyond a certain point, it is important to focus on other aspects of wellbeing. [44:31] Tom’s focus is primarily on doing good work and creating things that are valuable rather than marketing and selling, but he still manages to impact numerous people with his work. How does he maintain that balance?   Resources: Purchase Bring Your Whole Self to Work and gain access to bonus material Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on Twitter Mike Robbins on Instagram Tom Rath How Full is Your Bucket, by Tom Rath and Don Clifton Life’s Great Question: Discover How You Contribute to the World, by Tom Rath Contribify.com We're All In This Together Podcast Episode: “How to Stay Relevant in Today’s Noisy World with Bill Cates” Turnitin We're All in This Together, by Mike Robbins (Pre-Order) Strengths Finder (Gallup) Eat Move Sleep, by Tom Rath Strengths Finder 2.0, by Tom Rath David Brooks — “The Moral Bucket List” (Eulogy Virtues) Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements, by Tom Rath Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Are You Fully Charged, by Tom Rath   Shareables:   “Tell people why they matter while you still can.” — @TomCRath   “Great leaders are really good at asking questions and listening.” — @TomCRath   “We tend to take our strengths for granted, and in turn, we worry more about and spend more time trying to develop areas where we might not have that much room for growth and potential.” — @TomCRath

Ep 002 - Do You Have Holes in Your Buckets? • In this episode, Pedro aims to help simplify complex financial questions and educate you as a consumer • The bucket analogy: • Most people have been saving money in retirement accounts or buckets • Most don’t realize that their buckets often have holes in the bottom • Pedro explains there are three major holes he has come across in his experience working with clients: risk, fees and taxes • Risk: the stock market is at an all-time high • Crucial to assess how much risk is present in your bucket • Fees: most people do not know how much they are paying in fees • Understanding how much fees you are actually paying is critically important to knowing how much money is going in and out of your retirement bucket • Taxes: when it is time to pull money out, Uncle Same will be there waiting • Pedro’s goal is to help reduce, eliminate or mitigate those holes in the retirement bucket to save your money. • Homework: “to what extent do you think you are exposed to the three holes in the bucket we talked about today—risk, fees, and taxes? Is it time to get a new bucket?” OUTLINE OF THIS EPISODE OF RETIRED + FREE • [ 1:08] The Bucket Metaphor • [ 3:22] The Problem with Our Industry • [ 3:55] The Holes in Your Bucket • [ 4:20] Risk • [ 5:43] Fees • [7:24] Taxes • [9:20] Homework Thanks for listening to the show!
