Are you a drama addict? Ask yourself whether anything in this video sounds familiar. If so, it may be time to get the monkey off your back. Becoming aware of your habits - especially those that keep you entangled in webs of drama - is a starting point for addressing how you may unknowingly contribute to an unhealthy environment.
There is a path to healing. Moving from conflict to reconciliation requires two main elements, but within each, there is real work to be done. In this video, I delve into what they are and why they are important. The critical takeaway to note is this: acknowledging a problem and how you contributed to it must be accompanied by a meaningful investment in a sustainable solution for a true reconciliation to exist.
What is servant leadership? Aside from it being my favorite approach to leadership, it is the truest form of responsibility to others and is in service of their growth. It builds trust by creating a culture of honesty, transparency, humility, empowerment, and support, and always has a collective goal as the North Star. In this short video learn why it’s so important in organizations today and how to make it a daily practice.
Trust allows us to feel secure and confident in our interactions with one another. It creates a foundation of safety and reliability, making it easier for us to open up, communicate, and collaborate effectively. It’s the key to intimacy and emotional connection, while in professional relationships, it’s essential for teamwork, productivity, and effective problem-solving. So when it’s in need of repair the challenges can be endless. Watch this video to learn the most important steps in the rebuilding process.
We’ll never have all the answers, but that’s a positive! Uncertainty provides an opportunity for us to try new things without needing all of the pieces to be in place. It also helps us focus our energy and resources where they make the most impact by teaching us to identify and invest in the variables we can control, and avoid wasting time on the ones we can’t.
The current environment provides little-to-no certainty about what’s to come, but it does present an opportunity to contemplate and decide what and how we want to emerge. Our decisions and how they reflect our values, our goals, and how (and where) we spend our time are all on display for (re)consideration. Do they support the life we now know we need? Where do we begin to create the world we hope to see?
I had a great time speaking with Pauline Brown, host of Tastemakers, and Maryam Banikarim, former Chief Marketing Officer for Hyatt Hotels, about reinvention, identity and core values. They both have such rich and fascinating backgrounds as corporate executives, and it was a treat to bring my own experience and perspective to a conversation that touched on careers (especially those that span decades and chapters in our lives), family, priorities and evolving notions of success.
