No Ego

I'm reposting this very special podcast that I recorded last year around Thanksgiving. As we are upon the holiday season in our country, I find myself reflecting on gratitude and what it means in my life. In this episode, I'm talking about my view of gratitude, how we can go beyond only being grateful what you agree with or are happy about, and learning how to move to a place beyond ego where you can find gratitude in all things. Loving this podcast? Leave me a rating and a review! I'd be so grateful.

In this week's episode, I'm answering two fan questions about how to handle difficult employee situations, including coaching the difference between sharing feelings and venting, and getting people to focus on their own business and "stay in their lane." Questions answered: - What is the difference between sharing a feeling vs. venting? -Do you have any tips on helping keep employees in their own lane? Have a work drama question for me?

In our 4th and final episode in this series, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and I are talking about how we as women tend to play small, minimize our successes and think, it's just too good to be true. The reality is that these thoughts are rooted in fear and scarcity, and we can all choose to move beyond this negative self-talk in order to achieve more joy in our lives.

I'm excited to introduce you to Safi Bahcall, a physicist, entrepreneur, and the bestselling author of Loonshots. Safi talks about the competing forces in a company that suddenly change from embracing wild new ideas to rigidly rejecting them. So many organizations are focused on culture, but Safi emphasizes the importance of small shifts in the structure of an organization that can have a radical breakthrough in group behavior.

I asked for your questions about the philosophy a week or so ago and got over 100 responses! I'm answering 2 of them today with Alex Dorr, our VP of People Evolution.

How can I maneuver these situations?" - Suzy "How can I coach the highly-engaged but low-accountable employee, especially when there is a group of them?" - Angela SBAR Tool: http://bit.ly/2InNWFQ

A question I get a lot on the road is: How can I make somebody else do something? Many organizations are talking about accountability, but when it comes to the day to day, our behaviors, word, and processes enable the exact opposite of what we are wanting to create. In this episode, I share examples of how you can stop enabling others both at home and work. SPECIAL SERIES FOR WOMEN! Tune in on Wednesdays for a series with Dr. Sasha Shillcut on how women sabotage themselves. Follow @become_brave_enough

This week I'm sharing a special pre-recorded interview with Paycom's HR Break Room at the SHRM 2019 Annual Conference. Our topic is how HR can lead cultural change. Some things we discuss are: Why I think HR has traditionally fueled drama, what we can learn from Millennials about pushing for and embracing change, how we can get our teams to embrace new technology, and how we can create a culture that is nimble and ready for what's next.
