March 08, 2017 15:03 - 6 minutes - 5.84 MB“Why don’t they put more time and attention to that client? If they don’t, they might lose them.” “Can’t they see I would be excellent in that position? Why don’t they consider me?” “Don’t they understand that if they’d just have more team building activities throughout the year everyone would work better together? Collaboration clearly improved after our yearly retreat.” “Why don’t they spend a little extra money on the furniture in our waiting area? At least they could pr...
Developing a Healthy Sense of Self-Worth is Imperative to Success
February 16, 2017 02:18 - 5 minutes - 5.34 MBRunning beneath the surface of our conscious awareness is a set of beliefs—sort of an autopilot of assumptions and expectations. The role models we’re exposed to as children, along with the stories we consistently hear, instruct our belief system and set us up to repeat patterns that create the results we see every day. Do you know the beliefs you bought into as a child that continue to create your current reality? I thought I did, and then I came face-to-face with the reality of an unde...
Leadership: Here’s How Simple it is to Promote Team Cohesion
February 09, 2017 16:15 - 4 minutes - 4.54 MBWhy do leaders struggle to create collaborative work environments where team members step up and do whatever it takes to create remarkable results? Is it because they haven’t set a vision that is compelling enough? Maybe. Is it because they haven’t counseled their team enough about the importance of working together, despite the weekly—no daily—reminders? Probably not. Is it because the team hasn’t decided on a shared set of values? I doubt it. The biggest reason leaders struggle to ...
Why Establishing Core Values is a Waste of Time and Money
February 02, 2017 03:03 - 6 minutes - 6 MBCompany culture experts urge leaders to establish clearly defined values to serve as a guide for decisions and behaviors throughout an organization.

Mounted on the wall, and often on the website, these key words or phrases are meant to ensure everyone is on the same p...
5 Questions That Will Truly Impact Your Life in 2017
January 26, 2017 03:21 - 7 minutes - 6.56 MBThe greatest teachers in life are rarely the ones with great advice. They are remarkable role models who consistently show the way, while asking the kind of questions that stop us in our tracks. Their questions infect us with the kind of curiosity that leads us in the direction of our own answers. You know the kind of person I’m talking about. Their question pierces through our internal chatter and commands the truth we’ve been searching for. In November of 2016, I witnessed ...
The Truth About Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone
January 19, 2017 03:55 - 5 minutes - 4.98 MBWe shy away from sharing or expanding into what we have to offer in the most obscure ways. We think that getting out of our comfort zone means doing something big, which is exactly what keeps us trapped and doing what we’ve always done. Finishing up lunch with a client at a nice restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland, I kept thinking about that beautiful basket of bread (that we didn’t even touch) going into the trash. While a business lunch is perhaps not the right environment to request a...
A Simple Strategy for Increasing Your Impact
January 11, 2017 22:41 - 5 minutes - 4.71 MBIn a rush to get from one experience to the next, we may miss the simple and seemingly superfluous opportunities to inspire greatness. Believing that inspiration only comes in oversized packages, we may forget to look for the tiny (barely noticeable, really) opportunities to inspire others into action. Having an “off” day and needing a shift in scenery, I headed to the pool for a workout. The moment I pulled into the parking lot, I started talking myself out of swimming—“It’s been a ro...
Energy, Enthusiasm and Economic Downturns
January 05, 2017 03:54 - 3 minutes - 3.03 MBThey should is a trap that kills enthusiasm and growth faster than any economic downturn ever could. When you catch yourself thinking, “They should or shouldn’t,” stop and ask yourself, “How can I help them reach their goals?” Consider letting go of the shoulds (work harder, pay their dues, respect me) and shouldn’ts (go above me, think so highly of themselves, be so lazy), and instead focus on communicating your vision while helping them reach their goals. Their success is...
How Stagnation Leads to Poaching…With Customers and Employees
December 29, 2016 10:00 - 5 minutes - 7.25 MBGreatness chases greatness. Companies and leaders in continuous pursuit of evolution (personal/company brand), worry more about keeping up with demand then poaching. On the flipside, those who hoard resources and acknowledgment wind up losing their most precious assets to the competition.

When she agreed to let me interview her for this podcast, my fingers couldn’t type my questions quickly enough. Her journey, curiosity, courage and compass...
Intendaware: How to Systematically Increase Your Self-Confidence
December 15, 2016 02:51 - 6 minutes - 8.93 MBConfidence comes from the Latin word confide, which means to entrust. Self-confidence, then, is about learning to trust yourself with yourself. Just as it takes experiences over time to trust others, trusting in your own experience of life requires that same kind of intention and attention. Remember the first time you sat behind the steering wheel of a car to drive? With your heart pumping, you tried to remember all the critical elements of driving, like gas! Too focused on adjusting t...
Why It’s Important To Waste Time
December 07, 2016 23:02 - 6 minutes - 8.96 MBWhen asked what it was like to be blind, Helen Keller said, “It's much better to have no sight than it is not to have a vision.” While some people seem to be born with a clear vision for their life that naturally morphs into their career and inspires their team, most of us have to take the time to allow our vision to emerge. Interestingly, the difficulty in creating a vision isn’t what we think it is. Creating a clear picture of a desired future that inspires us requires a two-pr...

If I’m Not a Successful Business Person, Then Who am I?
December 01, 2016 10:00 - 6 minutes - 8.27 MBJust nine years away from what he referred to as the socially acceptable date for retirement, Sam shared about the fear of filling his time—“I need to keep my brain active, and I’m not sure what I’ll do without people needing my help, or the excitement of winning the deal. My work brings purpose and structure to my days.” When work provides such a strong sense of identity, belonging and accolades, letting go of the known for what’s next can be terrifying.

7 Quick Tips to Make Performance Reviews Effective
November 23, 2016 03:27 - 4 minutes - 6.8 MBImagine standing inside a giant jar of jellybeans, minus the beans and delicious smell. Looking through the glass, you can see there is a label, but you cannot figure out what it says. You can also see dozens of other people, all within their respective jars, none of whom can see what’s written on their own label. You can see their label and they can see yours, but no one can see their own. This is exactly where most of us find ourselves when it comes to understanding our own greatness...

How To Use Anger To Strengthen Trust
November 03, 2016 01:28 - 4 minutes - 6.25 MBSeeking understanding is the last thing we want to do when someone has offended us, tainted our reputation, or put us in harm’s way. It’s far easier to hold tightly to our beliefs, keep our anger, and strengthen our story by gathering all the necessary data and buy-in from others. It’s risky to seek their perspective and listen openly and authentically to their thought process, particularly when they might not demonstrate such concern in return. They may never ask about our experience,...

October 20, 2016 09:00 - 6 minutes - 8.54 MBEver been in a touristy area where you were bombarded with restaurant staff doing their best dance to get your into their establishment? Often, they start with their own version of “hello,” and then quickly make their way to, “Come eat?” The first couple of times, saying, “No, thank you,” is no big deal.

Yes, there’s a reason we keep getting asked to take on more—we say “Yes,” and we are the one’s who will make sure the job gets done, even if our other projects suffer and we wind up sick from exhaustion. Why do we keep getting picked to do the project? Because we are driven doers. We’ll run through fire to honor our word, and we’re the first to admit it. In fact, it’s a badge of honor we wear. In our quest to get it all in, we say, “Yes!” It’s an ...

September 22, 2016 01:29 - 8 minutes - 11.4 MBWhile sitting in a plush conference room, staring out at a beautiful lake, and sipping the green tea that was automatically dispensed for me at the push of a button, I found myself eager to get to know the gentleman responsible for building this empire.

5 Pitfalls To Growth, And What To Do About Them
September 15, 2016 02:31 - 7 minutes - 10.2 MBWithout growth, companies, teams, leaders, and careers stagnate. Stagnation leads to hording, silos, distrust, conflict, and tension. Without a growth-provoking intervention, such stagnation quickly causes complacency, hording of resources, turnover, or worse yet, disengagement. Disengaged employees not only fail to do their best work, but they actively share their negativity with colleagues and customers alike, sabotaging your reputation and halting growth. To avoid the stench of stagna...

Permission…

At the time, I remember thinking, “You’re a guy—what do you know about women an...

And, you wanted it as your main course, not just desert.

Here’s What Happens When You Believe In Your Team
May 26, 2016 09:00 - 6 minutes - 8.73 MBTwo of the greatest lies destroying our workforce today are: we can’t earn a living using our God-given talents & my employees don’t care. In reality, we all want to use our natural talents to help our team, company, community, country, and our world—we just don’t always believe we can, and so we unconsciously sabotage ourselves in the process. Great leaders see this, and seek to provoke greatness in spite of insecurities. The leaders who experience the greatest results from thei...

How to Give Yourself Permission To Struggle (Evolve)
May 05, 2016 09:00 - 4 minutes - 5.82 MBHaving moved many times in my life, I’d grown accustomed to the (hidden) benefit of starting over—zero expectations. When you’re brand new to a community, they don’t know what to expect, and so you have a chance to try on new behaviors and beliefs. Changing the way we show up for people who have come to expect certain behaviors and beliefs is far more challenging then starting fresh. Having relationships that are deep and meaningful can create expectations that may easily halt our grow...
