83% of American’s report having significant workplace anxiety. In 1990 that number was 30%.How did we get here? And more importantly, how to restore? In this episode, we’ve got some compelling research and a few historical stories to really illustrate why centering people versus profit is what leads to long term success at work.

As the new year begins, do you feel it? That relentless pull? The questions shout at us, demanding answers. What’s your plan? Your word of the year? Your goals? Your resolutions? The messages are everywhere: Strive harder. Add more. Be perfect. But what if the real question isn’t about more? What if, instead, we started with a different question: What creates joy? In this special bonus episode of the Joyosity Podcast, Jenn Whitmer shares her own story of when limits came crashing down

Ep. 69 ICYMI: Turning Disagreements into Dialogue

2024/12/23

What’s your knee jerk reaction when someone disagrees with you? I’m sure none of us were born with the instinct to lean in with curiosity. It’s definitely something I have learned and a skill I’ve worked on (and literally just this week had to practice in some big disagreements!) Thinking back of this month’s focus on getting to joy through disagreement proved to me yet again the power of having hard conversations and approaching conflict with curiosity and kindness. In this week’s

Do you thank someone for disagreeing with you? Not usually! But after this conversation with Justin, I hope you consider the benefits of respectful disagreement.Justin’s most recent book, I Respectfully Disagree, takes readers on the journey to one of my favorite topics: conflict is a necessity in a functional workplace. In this conversation, Justin shares how his mother challenged him to be open to new experiences growing up, we tackled the definition for what a disagreement really is,

Disagreement is a part of leadership. It’s uncomfortable, it’s hard but it’s a skill that we need to cultivate in order to lead well. This week, we dove into the art of leading when everyone isn't on the same page.As I sat down with a plate of eggs and hashbrowns, I noticed the table conversation revolved around lab-raised meat and a skeptic — not what I was expecting at a business networking breakfast before 8am! How many times have you found yourself in the middle of a conversation

Ep. 65 ICYMI: The Art of Uncommon Leadership

2024/11/27

“Just”My business is “just“ me. I’m “just” a manager. I’m “just” a stay-at-home mom. I spoke to a room of “just” 20 people. This seemingly innocent word can creep into our vocabulary and minimize our achievements. Both Shelby and I realized how impactful it is to shift away from minimizing language and embrace our full worth thanks to Krista this month. Krista Monson reminded us of the importance of respecting ourselves, trusting our intuition, and holding others in high regard. Shelby

Bumblebees. That was the inspiration for one of Krista’s biggest shows at Cirque Du Soleil. Creativity comes to us in moments we aren’t expecting. It’s rarely when we’re checking emails and sitting around a board table trying to force it. In this episode, Krista shared her 8 survival skills for how to stay true to yourself and your creativity in high pressure situations and big transitions. Krista’s years of creativity and work in the arts has seen both. She warns us to stay away from

“More”. I am guilty of wanting to add one more sentence, one more ornament to the tree, one more side to Thanksgiving dinner. How do we know when “more” is leading us to the right thing or distracting us from what matters? This week Krista shared with us her journey through a VERY successful career and how she knew when to step back or when to add more— not more tasks but diving deeper into what's truly meaningful.

I had a coworker who was like sandpaper for me. Every time my slack would ding with their name, I would just feel a pang of “ugh”. Have you ever felt that? Truthfully, if you work with people long enough, someone will be this for you…and this might be inevitable at some point in any relationship. I decided to start with donuts. I knew she obsessed over donuts, and I thought maybe some time outside of work talk would do us some good. So I asked her to go for donuts. After that donut shop

Chaos. October brought more than its fair share! So how do you lead in the midst of it all? The short answer? Values. They operate as a North star for your behavior and decisions.Shelby lives in a small mountain community and saw chaos and values play out right in front of her eyes all month in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. We spoke about how values impacted so many decisions in her own response and in her community at a larger scale. We spoke about leaders owning up to mistakes, and

Being seen by someone else is one of the best feelings in the world. A dear friend gave me a necklace of three rows of clustered, bright wooden discs in every imaginable color. A necklace that she would never wear. But because she's seen my bubbly self, she knew jewelry in riotous color would not only be worn frequently, but treasured. In this week's episode, Ken Black and I finish our conversation about the magic of values. We unpacked how knowing our core values can extend our

My son’s part-time job as a boy was running into walls. The phrase “face the way you’re walking” constantly came out of my mouth. One because I was tired of dirty walls, but mostly for his success. Ken shared the same idea for leadership success. Focus on where you want to go and so difficulties and disruptions don’t sway you from the goal. Choosing how you want to shoe up in the world or the lens through which you choose to see the world, Understand Seeing the world will revolutionize

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” How many times were you asked this as a kid? How many times have you asked that TO kids? Is that the question we really should be asking them? Or does it tie their worth to their role at work? I love how Ken and I dove into the idea of being vs doing in this episode. Some times work doesn’t align with our values, even when it’s what we’ve been saying we want to be (or not be) our entire lives. “I want to be a teacher when I grow up” is that

You’re already leading and living by your values.

You have a culture whether you’re aware of it or not. Pay attention to culture, even if you’re a one-(wo)man show. Here’s why: as you grow you want to make sure it’s what drives your hires, fires and business decisions. Whether you realize it or not, culture will create conflict ,and we want that conflict productive and repairing. In this episode, Shelby and Jenn discussed some ah-ha moments we got from our wonderful guest Moe Carrick, and lessons we’ve seen in our own lives and business

2024/09/18

No leader is waking up thinking “I want to create a toxic workplace”, quite the opposite! But without self awareness, that’s exactly what you’ll create. Every leader should be able to answer this one question: Why do you do what you do? Whether it’s a casting broken bones, serving a chai latte, or building aircrafts. That question —Why? — is so important because that is what shapes workplace culture. In part two of our conversation, Moe Carrick shared a story about how her daughter’s

“That’s how we do things here.” Sometimes that’s used as an excuse…at least in my experience! But at it’s best, it’s a wonderful definition of culture. Moe Carrick, workplace culture expert, defines the sometimes squishy term “culture” with “that’s how we do things here.” I love that definition for a few reasons. 1 - It implies that if ignored culture will still be there 2- It means you have to live out your values in order to influence the culture.

2024/09/04

In order to have joy at work you must have conflict. I know that sounds absurd but stay with me here. It’s unrealistic to have a workplace that doesn’t experience conflict. It’s unrealistic to have any relationshipe without conflict.Conflict is the struggle of limited resources and differing goals. And I hate to break it to you, but that shows up in every workplace, home, and friendship at some point. Instead of running from the conflict, this episode invites you to lean into it. I share

As a leader, knowing how to handle stories (true or not) is so important for the integrity of your team.This month was all about the science behind why stories work and tricks for engaging others through story, thank you Kindra Hall!
