Managing the Trend of Employee Disengagement

Picture
The results of the recent Gallup Worldwide Employee Poll show a continued decline in workplace engagement. How do you change this in your company? David Marquet, a former nuclear submarine commander, was named one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers by Inc. Mag. A true student of leadership, David is the author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller 'Turn the Ship Around!: A True Story of Turning Followers into Leaders, a book that does not get anywhere near the attention it deserves. Hear how David developed a workplace culture where everyone is engaged and contributes to their full intellectual capacity because they have more control over their work. Imagine a place where everyone is a leader.

Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time

Picture
Dr Jim Loehr wrote a book that changed my mindset on performance. That book was 'The Power of Full Engagement'. Jim's philosophy is that managing energy, not time, is the key to enduring high performance as well as to health, happiness, and life balance. The Power of Full Engagement is a highly practical, scientifically based approach to managing your energy more skillfully, both on and off the job, by laying out the key training principles and providing a powerful, step-by-step program that will help you level up your energy and, thus, your performance. In recent months, I've been queried several times on the relationship between energy, health and wellness on ideas, creativity, leadership and performance, and this episode is the best reference I can give for that question.

The Game Changing Power of Helping People Feel Understood

Picture
People want to be seen, heard, valued, understood and appreciated. Jonathan B. Smith is a business strategist and Black Swan Negotiation Instructor with decades of experience. He has founded multiple companies over the years, and his work has helped companies achieve millions in revenue. His new book, 'Fight Less Win More', is gold - one of the most valuable books I have read recently. Daniel Pink, #1 NY Times bestseller, said: "Fight Less, Win More is a massively useful book for just about anyone who has to deal with the desires, foibles, and idiosyncrasies of other human beings." This conversation demonstrates the critical skill we can use in conversation to help people feel understood! ​

How the Warrior Rewires the Inner Imposter Syndrome

Picture
Jenn Donahue is a warrior. On the battlefield, in business, and in the fight against self-doubt. A retired U.S. Navy Commodore, she commanded thousands of troops across multiple deployments, including overseeing the construction of a bridge across the Euphrates River during the Iraq War and leading an 800-person battalion in Afghanistan. We discuss 'Becoming the Warrior', her book on learning to overcome the internal roadblocks that impede our success and how we can harness inner strength, silence our self-doubt, and live with and/or silence our internal voices. After decades of commanding teams and making high-stakes decisions, she brings fascinating insights to this conversation.
