[34:47] Tool 4: Taking care of yourself so you can be there for others - then model the way [36:43] How this demonstrates FIRM leadership [52:50] Like it or not, people are at the heart of tech KEY TAKEAWAYS: Start by checking in on yourself - How am I doing and what am I doing to recharge myself? Then engage in the conversation with your people - How are you doing? Be ready and courageous to truly listen Part of self-care as a leader is setting boundaries even as you engage your people - “I really want to hear what you have to say. I have 10 minutes right now - what is your top concern?” Build the language and mutual accountability into the culture to sustain individual and systemic wellbeing Make no mistake - this is not fluffy “nice to have” BS. It is foundational to a vibrant, sustainable high-performing organization Stay Connected: Kim's website: http://feedyoursoulunlimited.com/ Kim's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kim-mclaughlin/ RLD Group’s website: https://rldgroupllc.com RLD Group’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rldgroupllc RLD Group on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rldgroupllc Lisa Duerre on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisaduerre/ Ctrl + Alt + Delete with Lisa Duerre™ on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@realtalkwithlisa
