2024/08/28

What do you do when someone tells you a story that isn’t true? Maybe you were there or you heard it from someone else differently. 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!

Having your values plastered on the office wall is not living by them. Wanting to know how to infuse them into your business so your team embodies them as well? That requires one of our people power skills — storytelling.The best way to showcase your values is to live by them and tell your personal story around them. Storytelling is an essential skill in leadership. Last week Kindra shared the science behind storytelling and it led us right into this episode where she breaks down the

“The shortest distance between two people is a story.” My coach Harris says this frequently, and I find it true over and over. In person, in an email, a LinkedIn post, a TikTok…stories change us AND shape our leadership. I‘ve watched Kindra Hall for a long-time as a mentor from afar. Someone who’s doing what I want to do. Author, speaker, and storytelling expert, her stories have impacted me in profound ways (that she didn’t even realize!). I was thrilled she joined me for another podcast

Ep. 49 We're Literally Dying Without Joy

2024/08/07

“It’s fine, that’s just the way work is. It isn’t supposed to be fun”“I just need to put my head down and work harder” “Why am I so weak?” Have you said these things to yourself? Me too. In this episode I tell the story about the “summer of crying on couches”. It wasn’t a fun summer. But it led to the work I’m doing now, the work I believe in - joy at work. Toil and languishing should not be the norm. We have to believe a new story. But that means erasing these common thoughts and

How To Lead This Summer

Joyosity ·

2024/06/21

Summer is here and that often means a revamp of routine (or what I like better: rhythms). Whether you have little ones out of school or you have vacations on the horizon, it can be hard to remember to rest. As an Enneagram 7 I’m prone to fill all the empty spaces with more! But I’ve come to realize rest is the secret weapon for leading a productive and joyful team.This week on the podcast, I dove into how we can lead while embracing different rhythms. I share the three S’s that each

2024/06/13

We all need a reminder now and then that it's more than okay to take a break — Actually, rest is a weapon against your life collapsing around you. Especially as leaders. Giving yourself permission to rest actually increases your productivity and of course increases your joy at work!This week, I talked with Erika Biddix, Entrepreneur Strategist and CEO of Aught. We discussed how we’ve had to work to rewrite our definition of productivity. We swapped stories about finding and embracing rest

If TED Can Change, So Can You

2024/05/30

Inevitably, at some point in your career, you’re going to outgrow a position or role that you’ve had. Maybe even something you REALLY love. Like my son's favorite shorts when he was a toddler, at some point, they’ll have to go to GoodWill. No matter how we try, we just can’t make it fit longer than it’s meant to. Whether that’s a promotion or offering something differently in your business growth is good, but growth is also really uncomfortable.Here are three questions that I use in my

How to Be a Brave Leader with Nicole Trick Steinbach

Leadership requires ruthless self-honesty and radical self-compassion. You balance between the two with curiosity. Nicole Trick Steinbach and I share a similar belief in this and plenty of similar leadership scars!Nicole shared some really incredible stories about how she found herself in tech, what led her to an HR intervention with her leadership, and how she coaches others to become brave leaders now.

Silence Could Kill Your Career with Scott Harvey

Joyosity ·

2024/05/16

As a child, I heard “Silence is golden” often. (And I remind myself as an adult too!) I agree silence has its place in conversations, in negotiations, and definitely on long car rides. But I’ve learned that silence doesn’t help when there’s a problem on your team or in your family. Silence is LOUD when there’s conflict brewing. After 20 years in law enforcement, Scott Harvey realized the power silence can hold. He shares stories from the stage and in his recent book, “Silence Kills,'' about

How To Approach Sweaty Conversations

2024/05/09

I heard the term “sweaty conversations” recently and giggled. I thought it was a perfect description for those hard, uncomfortable conversations that need to happen. Whether it’s at work or home there’s really no avoiding these types of conversations in life. So how do we know when it’s time to put on some good ole deodorant and face the music? In this episode, I share three warning signs it’s time for that a hard conversation. We talk about how assuming the best in others doesn’t actually

Communicating with Yourself First with Tony Martignetti

Joyosity ·

2024/04/25

“Is this what I’m supposed to be doing?!” It may sound something like me complaining to my dear friends about work one too many times or just the nagging feeling and comments from those who know you best that you should “really try something else.”Either way, listen to that tiny inside voice that’s prodding you in a different direction and those trusted outside voices that know you best. Finding what brings you joy at work and what your purpose is is much easier said than done. The work

How To Lead So You Work Less With LaShonda Brown

“Ugh, I swear I’ve answered that 5 million times.” You’ve thought that, haven’t you? Some days, as leaders, it feels like all we’re doing is repeating ourselves.When LaShonda recognized this as an entrepreneur speaking to her clients, she did something brilliant… She started posting her “how to’s'' on Youtube. It changed her career. Now she works a 20-hour week and makes real money from the platform. The idea that we must work harder in order to work better is just a lie. In today’s world

When you’ve been performing since age four, the line between your work and your worth gets a little fuzzy. Jeff Koziatek shared with us his philosophy of separating the performer from the performance and how you apply this in your own work, whatever field you’re in.Jeff shared how he made a major shift in his work by focusing on the audience more and himself less. He also talked about the power of genuine curiosity—a value both of us operate from. We both agree that having a team that

How To Speak Like A Leader With Kate Harris

Command and control leadership. Most of us loathe these types of leaders, and I can count on one hand the organizations that need this type of leadership. The rest of us? The rest of us need authentic leaders. But here’s the kicker: we still need strong leaders. Leaders that aren’t afraid to voice their point of view… even if it’s a little spikey.In this conversation, one of my business coaches (and an Enneagram 8) Kate Harris joins us to talk about what leadership looks like and how

I’ve learned through poor (and positive!) leadership examples that workplace culture isn’t just fun Fridays and ping-pong tables. Being a leader requires a lot of hard work, humility, and empathy.In this episode, Shed shares his definition of culture — it’s a formula for all of you visual learners out there — and the markers you should be paying attention to so you can create a culture that’s not only kind but honest.

You can be really good at your job and really… inexperienced at leading others. It’s a tale as old as time (Yes, cue the Disney tune).I see it often when working with teams for workshops or keynotes. Fabulous nurses, engineers, graphic designers, etc. get promoted to leadership positions, but they’ve had no guidance on how to lead effectively. It’s not really their fault. It's just a gap in training! Paul and I shared a few tips here for how to hire correctly the first time, ways to

Resilience is not something we are, it's something we work at. As a fellow finding-joy-at-work believer, Jenny and I are on the same page about SO much. What I loved hearing most from Jenny is what the physiology of stress looks like in the body and, more importantly, what we can do with that physical response!We each have our own lingo for the parts of the brain that takeover when stressed, but the gist is how do we get our stressed-out brain to take a break so our rational brain can take

"A hard conversation is a negotiation with an attitude.” Have you heard a better explanation?! I will never go into another hard conversation again without Kwame’s words echoing in my head. Kwame, a negotiation expert, author, and podcast host, joined us live to talk about how our internal stories influence our conversations and our negotiations. How we talk to ourselves — and the stories that we deem as truths — are so important in leadership. Are we aware of them? We talked about our
