I’m a big fan of acronyms, but not this one. 🤣

Storytelling has been the most powerful form of communication since the beginning of time. Yet, we don’t acknowledge it in our work.

Most “in office” communication is pretty lousy these days. You could blame it on remote work, social media, the next generation, whatever…but what really lacks is emotion. Storytelling elicits this.

Business requires you to communicate well and there is a lot of talk about empathy amongst team members. This tells me we need to be better storytellers with our people.

This episode will help be a better storyteller and colleague.

Have a “gloing” rest of your week. 🌟

Why do we make hard skills and soft skills battle each other for attention?

It’s dumb. They’re both important.

The problem is, they are more fluid than we assume. Your hard skills can improve or get worse and your soft skills will need to change with different relationships.

There is no perfect way to train either of them but the best teams know how to use them to build something significant.

I wanted to invest some time in the process teams and leaders need to work through to help their people use each of these.

Do this well and you’ll find an incredible generous culture that attracts top talent and loyal customers.

Have a skilled rest of your week.📈

There’s a difference between knowing about people and knowing people.

One is table stakes and the other is an advanced way to understand your workplace environment.

Building culture is something that requires great understanding.

You’ll here the buzzword “empathy” these days. It’s great but you can’t expect to have it if you don’t know people really well.

Invest the time in knowing and understanding and you’re sure to build the culture you desire.

This episode is designed to explain how to do this.

Have a great rest of your week.📈

Building workplace culture is really hard.

But you can make it simple if you skip this one misstep.

Most firms focus on helping people assimilate to their culture. That seems like it’s really helpful, right?

I have a different way of thinking about this.

You have to help people, yes, but there is a way to help them that is much more fulfilling and productive for the team as a whole.

This is all based on growth. This is what people want and also what you want for your company.

Have a great rest of your week.📈

Mental health is a serious issue.

I have experienced episodes where I’ve felt completely incapable of improving my situation. Thankfully, something or someone has come along to help me through the tough time.

Imagine feeling this on a daily basis. This is how it can be when you’re mind is not as healthy as it can be.

I feel for you if you are experiencing this or have before but I also know there are sources of support.

The best source is internal.

This episode is not just about what you can do yourself to “fix” your mental health but it is about ways you can make it much simpler to find joy and fulfillment.

This works for individuals and teams

Have a healthy rest of your week.😀

Toxicity is a culture killer.

It can be hard to recognize and even harder to change.

This happens because people struggle to recognize negative habits in others and themselves.

Cultures are built, not found, whether you know it or not.

A toxic culture will ruin the professional experience of its people and you have to recognize and address it as soon as possible.

The problem is that most people are uncomfortable addressing it because it’s a “people thing”. You have to understand others’ perspective and be willing to have tough conversations.

I have a way of looking at toxicity that is more personal and direct than the average culture advice. Take note of the steps in the process and learn to take them with caution and compassion.

Have a great rest of your week.😀

You gotta belong!

Some say you have to believe. Well, I believe in belonging.

There is no subsitute for this. Humans have helped each other survice and thrive for years. Part of our experience relies on others whether we want and realize this or not.

I have spent a lot of time studying people’s acceptance, struggle, and experiences with their work. It’s clear that people need to feel like they are a part of a strong mission.

But why?

How can this help or hurt your team?

I have 5 things to think about (and master) if you want to build a generous workplace culture that attracts top talent and loyal customers.

Have a communal week. 🫂
