Stepping in Sh*t

from Talk, Unleashed · host Cathy Brooks

Admit it. You’ve done it. We’ve all done it at some point. Stepped in sh*t. And yes, I mean literally. It’s that random pile of poop (usually and hopefully from a dog) that was hidden in the grass, or just somewhere you didn’t expect it. Next thing you know - that undeniable sensation of it under your foot. This may seem a strange topic to, dare I say, dump as the first episode of the year. Or maybe it isn’t. Because after having stepped in it myself the other day I mused on how apt a metaphor it is for life in general. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity. Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It’s about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it’s unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed. This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. #steppinginshit #responsibility #cleaningshitup #cleaningupmess #dogbehavior #baddogbehavior #dogtraining #shiftingbehavior #brutalhonesty #radicalhonesty #consciouscommunication #leadership #Conversation #connection #TalkUnleashed #fiercecompassion #UnleashedConversation #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash
