Episode 60: Start to Consciously Check In
When something works for you, when it feels good and aligned with your goals and values, you need to name it, claim it and sustain it. One of those things in my life is Check In. I not only tell people about the process (name it), I reap benefits when I do the process (claim it), and I do the...

Episode 59: Start to Retreat
"Let's be honest about our modern-day social lives. Busyness, overstimulation, automation, pressure to produce and disconnection run rampant in our adult routines. We are saturated in experiences of being partially present, moderately engaged, or half-heartedly committed. We are so focused on...

Episode 57: Stop faking it
We've all faked something, at some point, in a relationship, social setting or work. Mostly, a lot of us have faked things to ourselves. Stacey and I aren't talking about doing something you're committed to but don't really get/like at the beginning. We're talking about the level of deception…

Be Present, Slow Down, & Grow Up
We are a culture always on the go. Many of us have resisted slowness and being at home for a long time. The average person in the US commutes 26 mins each way to work each day. That comprises NINE full days each year. For myself, I've chosen mobility and multi-focus for the better part of the…

-
Episode 55: Start to Help Others Take Risks
The adult brain has a lot of built in systems to reduce and avoid risk taking. Our beautiful emotional systems go on high alert when we sense risk and activate our controlled logic system. Simply: our minds "talk us out of" risky behaviors. Our higher mind, however, understands that we get better...
-
Episode 54: Stop Trying to Balance it All
The myth that we can "achieve balance" leads to burn out, inauthentic posturing and perfectionistic individualism. Leaders, especially senior and executive leaders, must stop passing along the message that staff need to "balance their work with their lives." Given that many people willfully and...
-
Episode 53: Start Using Words Powerfully
On Average, an adult uses over 7000 words a day. When is the last time someone said something to you at work and your attention peaked, your heart clapped or your body leaned forward? I'm sure you can easily think of a meeting where nothing one person shared was memorable. The discipline we'd…

Episode 51: What's it all about? Start & Stop in Season 2
We are in a season of great opportunity, and also uncertainty. Most of us function out of survival, success or transformation. In the course of a single day, we move in and out of each state.

-
Episode 49: Tricks of Transformation

-
Episode 52: Getting Rid of Gossip
Many of us like to interact and exchange. We like to give and receive. Information (typically in the form of words or images) is the main thing we exchange at work. Often, teams and individuals meet their needs for exchange in unhelpful ways through slander or gossip. COL Farrell and Krystal...
-
Episode 48: Leadership Ego
We all have "egos," or our standard self operating system. We often go about our tasks so quickly, or when want something to work so much, that we fail to see ourselves fully. We interact without having awareness of the impact we have on others---both beneficial and unhelpful. COL (retired)…

-
Episode 44: High Performing Teams
HIgh performing teams don't happen naturally. Like gardening, they require the correct soil (culture) and the correct gardening (leadership). Sometimes they need good fertilization as well. Which is where consultation comes in. Having a group of talented, successful individuals is not sufficient...
-
Episode 43: Leading with your Best Brain
Reflecting on the last month, name the percentage of time that you performed at your best at work? in your personal life? How good do we feel day in and day out?

Episode 42: Promoting the next level of diversity
We all SAY we want diversity, but many of us don't know HOW to engender it. And MOST of us aren't willing to examine how our (real) biases, proclivity to conform, and self-interests show up in day to day life. We have biological, social and psychological impulses to see ourselves as "good" and to...

Episode 39: Inspirational Leadership
Inspired followers are the force behind fulfilling, effective and self-sustaining results. And yet, the skill of inspiring others is perhaps the most elusive to develop. Leaders naturally struggle to learn this skill, or re-employ it in new cultures, new organizational seasons, or in new working...

-
Episode 37: Compromise, Collaboration and Competition
True Collaboration is not doing something together. It is both a shared mindset and a shared behavior. It requires both deliberate definition and a strategic training plan to be achieved. It takes practice and often external support to help teams create cultures where the collective need out...
-
Episode 36: The Energy behind Your Relationship with Money
This is a podcast for adults who are financially secure, and yet continue to have thoughts, emotions and feelings about "money" that aren't helpful (maybe 80% of us???). Although we know that the most rewarding things about life can't be bought, we still often equate "success" with how much "we...
-
Episode 35: Enchancing Personal Courage

-
Episode 32: Unconscious Roles We Play

Episode 20: Unleash your Voice

more -
Episode 19: Expectations in Relationships
