#70 Reimagine Leadership: The Results are In: We're Being Transformed

This series began with a conversation with my client, Jennifer Bartkowski, and we’re concluding the same way. Jennifer is the ‘very proud’ CEO of Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. In Fall of 2022 we launched a multi-month, cohort- and practice-based leadership program: Reimagine Girl Scouts Leadership Academy. We’ve tracked the journey and interviewed subject matter experts in key content areas that we covered. Today we talk about the final results of the program and a few lessons learned. Here are a few highlights: The general structure of the program, including primary topic areasWe share actual survey results in key areas as well as observations and impact they have seen on the team and organization as a whole. There were plenty of unplanned and unexpected positive results for the organization and individual participants during the program, and after.Jennifer provides her insights on how she’s seen her staff transform and what’s been happening on the inside since the program’s inception.We name some key structures we had in place that contributed to the smooth running of the programThe importance of a mutually respectful relationship between client and consultantThe impetus of the program was to develop the skills and attributes needed to accomplish the GSNETX mission and that seems to be happening!We’re launching another program with a few adjustments based on what we learned If you’d like to get the details discussed in this episode, including what worked and what we learned, and to see key survey results, visit: https://bit.ly/45R34Uk To discuss executive coaching, leadership development program design, and workshop facilitation, please visit: https://rise-leaders.com/contact-info/ To subscribe to Rise Words newsletter, visit: https://mailchi.mp/426e78bc9538/subscribe Learn more about Rise Leaders at www.rise-leaders.com Connect with LeeAnn Mallory on Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leeannmallory/ Follow Rise Leaders on our YouTube Channel: https://bit.ly/47Wk8do Connect with Jennifer Bartkowsk on Linked Ini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferbartkowski/ Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas: https://www.gsnetx.org/ Also mentioned in this episode: Rhonda Williams, Phd: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rhondawilliams14/ Moira Variames: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moira-variames-14228877/ George Floyd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd Deloitte: https://www2.deloitte.com/ CoSpera: https://cosperoconsulting.com/ Yield Giving: a href="https://yieldgiving.com/" rel="noopener...

#69 Reimagine Leadership: Navigating the Demands on Our Energy, Attention + Time

We have constant demands on our attention, energy and time. If we don’t have strategies for staying focused on what is most important we will almost certainly lose the battle and succumb to distractions that leave us feeling depleted and frustrated. My friend and colleague, Dr. Chris Johnson has literally written a book on how to stay present. And me? I created a worksheet with strategies to help you get and stay focused. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: To guide your energy, attention and time ask, Who is the person I want to be? What is the impact I want to make? Pausing allows us to determine where our attention is, or is notMulti-tasking is not actually possible for our human brainsWe discuss a few simple (but not easy!) tactics and meta practices for navigating these demandsAsk yourself, ‘Do I feel renewed? Do I feel regenerated?’ after time on Social MediaWe get distracted by what is easy rather than focus on what is importantThe importance of a ‘positive no’We stay reactive and busy as a way to avoid being alone with our thoughtsAdmit it: the list is too long and you won’t get it all done (Burkeman’s 4,000 weeks)There are common places where we leak energy: other’s expectations, over committing, worrying I’ve created a worksheet to help you navigate the demands on your energy, attention and time.

#68 Reimagining Leadership: Transforming Organizations: The Power of Trust

I’ve worked with a lot of organizations in my time as a coach and leadership consultant and the issue of trust is almost always at or near the center of concern. You’re never done building and nurturing trust. As one of my guests today quotes, “trust is the only thing that affects everything” (Stephen M.R. Covey). We gave it a great deal of air time in the Reimagine Leadership program. Jerry Magar and Lori Darley join me in today’s discussion and we talk about: Signs that trust may be missing in your organizationThere are defined behaviors that help build trustOne way to think about trust is a combination of competence and characterTrust-building can be tangible and pragmaticBreakdowns provide a great opportunity to create more trustWhat does it mean to have vulnerability-based trust? There are many models of trust and we cover two during this conversation. Check the links below for three (yes three!) earlier episodes I’ve recorded on trust.

#67 Reimagine Leadership: Adaptive Leadership Using Tilt 365

When I ask experts in the leadership field what the most important attribute for effective leadership today is, I get some version of adaptability or agility. In other words, what is most important is that we’re able to read a context and shift our approach to meet circumstances and challenges with new thinking and behaviors. My guest today, Pam Boney, is so passionate about this that she created an assessment that displays our strengths and helps us know how and where we may need to shift to increase our effectiveness and feeling of fulfillment in life. The assessment is Tilt 365, and Pam is the company’s founder. We used this assessment in the leadership program that this podcast series is centered around. The program began with each leader studying themselves because self-awareness is foundational for our ability to manage our emotions and thus take effective, sustainable action. It’s also vital to our ability to coordinate well with others. So we take the Tilt assessment at the beginning. Because of the developmental nature of this assessment, each leader was able to define areas where they wanted to grow and then identify practices to help them get there. Rather than using labels, Tilt 365 is clear about our ability to shift, or Tilt, to meet new situations and work best with others. We take a walk around the Tilt model discussing: The four quadrants of the model: Spirit/Resilience and Head/Wisdom on the vertical axis and Heart/Humanity and Gut/Courage on the horizontal axis.Aristotle’s Golden Mean: all ‘virtues’ lie in the middle way between two extreme states: excess and deficiency. This has been popularized as ‘any strength overused becomes a weakness’.Oftentimes our fear causes us to move into the extreme states.The four profiles that each combine two of the quadrants:Impact/Change Catalyst combines the quadrants Spirit/Resilience and Gut/CourageStructure/MasterMind combines the quadrants Head/Wisdom and Gut/CourageClarity/Quiet Genius combines the quadrants Head/Wisdom and Heart/HumanityConnection/Cross Pollinator combines the quadrants Spirit/Resilience and Heart/HumanityThe model goes deeper and deeper into personas which give further nuance to why a Tilt style will be animated differently by different peoplePam and her team have created offers for individuals and teams and ways to explore more fully how to better understand our strengths and how to develop towards agility. I really encourage you to explore the Tilt 365 website and all the offers. If you’re interested in taking the assessment, please contact me!

#66 Reimagine Leadership: Leading Above the Line

As part of the Reimagine Leadership limited series, this is the first episode where we dig into content that we actually threaded throughout the program I developed for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas. Jim Fallon is an Executive Coach for The Conscious Leadership Group and a Strategic Advisor for many organizations. He spent decades as an executive for many organizations across various industries, which I feel results in a very grounded pragmatism in his approach. We talk about the book, The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, and specifically about the organizing principle of the book: leading above and below the line. Here are a few highlights from our rich conversation: Jim’s wake up call and why he transitioned from CEO to Executive Coach and Strategic Advisor.The important distinction between content and context.Another Big Idea of the book: To Me, By Me, Through Me, As Me.A great description of Locating Yourself (above or below the line).The power, and necessity of accepting ourselves when we find that we are ‘below the line’ (which happens regularly for most of us).Jim does a walkthrough of the 15 Commitments with lots of context.Try the novel and playful approach for teaching others how to get the results you DON’T want - another way that CLG has made this content easier to take in.Jim gets vulnerable and provides a personal example of taking Radical Responsibility, which is Commitment #1. Jim does a beautiful job of embodying the generous, humanizing content from The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. As you listen, you hear in the conversation my own ah-ha moments and how this conversation will impact the way I explain some of these concepts in the next program.

#65 Reimagine Leadership: Beyond Training: True Development is Integral, Social and Active

Transformation Happens in Community. We don’t reach our potential alone. Without conversation, without rubbing up against each others’ nervous systems. Without vulnerability, self-awareness, being mirrored by others and without engaging to support their development as well. I knew this episode would be special and it was, because I was engaging with deep thinking, big hearted people who care a lot about creating structures and ecosystems where others feel safe enough to take risks and shuck off old, familiar ways of being in the service of leaving a big legacy. Rick Voirin, Chairman and Human Performance Partner at Stagen and Raft Viton of Slalom Consulting are my training partners in this episode. Here are a few highlights. This was a juicy conversation that I hope you enjoy! Development that sticks typically:Spans a period of timeKeeps a cohort of leaders engaged and together over this periodIs practice-basedRequires commitment and accountability Reference to the Greek proverb: “A society grows great when old men plan trees in whose shade they shall never sit” and what this means practically.Training vs Development: Training is more about what’s needed right now and filling skills gaps ; development is expanding that skills cup for the future and usually focusing it on the collective.The power of doing integral leader development inside a system is that it expands the impact to all stakeholders: employees, clients, client’s clients in ways that we can’t even imagineIntegral leadership development is growing human potential in multiple dimensions: career, relationships, spirituality, emotional, physical all those intelligences together. It’s a community-based way of being that puts us in a situation that invites us into believing that progress is possible for us.The primary commitment is to helping others reach the promise of their potential Adaptability is a key (the key? ) attribute for all of us to thrive. Adaptability Intelligence. It takes courage to change - to let go of what we know. Change is easier when… we know where to focus our attention, when we have practices to follow, when we have a supportive environment, when we have a clear path and we’re with a community of people. (Thank you for the reframe, Raff!)People will be attracted to those who are committed to figuring it (challenges) out, to evolving.When engaging with development, what you think is going to happen is not going to happen. We put structures in place in hopes of channeling energy and people will apply the learning in unique ways and have unique (and beautiful!) experiences. Or not This episode is full of passion - we each care deeply about the work we do with leaders and with organizations. We see the power of social learning and grappling together with the challenges of our times. We believe that we can follow a path of intentional practice to expand our individual and collective ability to adapt, reach our potential and create environments that work for everyone.

#63 Reimagine Leadership: Developing Leaders: A Strategic Investment

In this first episode of Reimagine Leadership, I’m joined by Jennifer Bartkowski, the “very proud CEO of Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas”. This is the episode where we make strong links to organizational vision, mission and strategy and how leadership development is critical to an organization’s ability to thrive. It is the thread that connects strategy to execution to the fulfillment of the mission.. In addition to laying the groundwork for the seven-month program that was designed for the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas (GSNETX), Jennifer describes the size, scope, and incredible assets of the organization. She does not shy away from the challenges the organization is facing and how she sees leader development as crucial to the organization’s success. In the spirit of, ‘leaders go first’, Jennifer shares how she felt her own leadership skills first had to shift during COVID and the civil unrest we were all experiencing. She knew she could not change the organization on her own, which is why she wanted to make sure she gave everyone committed to the future of GSNETX the chance to be part of the unique program we were developing. We hear Jennifer’s views on how the impact of Girl Scouts was declining; she acknowledges that their ways of serving the community had become misaligned with the actual needs of today’s girls and the challenges they face. We discuss the details of how the program was set up, how the module topics were selected to align with who and what the organization wanted to be. The program had to help build the capabilities and skills required to serve the community.

TRAILER

Trailer: Launching Rise Leaders Radio; Starting Close In

Rise Leaders Radio is a podcast about Exemplary Leadership. Season 1 highlights leaders in Oak Cliff, a community just south of Downtown Dallas, TX. The land itself has fostered a sense of independence and built resilience and resourcefulness in its citizens; the business and community leaders amplify this. I interviewed several people that tell different stories of leading in Oak Cliff. Rise Leaders Radio is a podcast focused on Exemplary Leadership. The following statement pretty much sums it up: At its very essence, leadership is a calling to serve. In a world increasingly at risk, leadership is a vocation that can link diverse people from all walks of life to create remarkable achievements. As such, leaders play a key role in designing a thriving future for all who inhabit this beautiful planet. Bob Anderson & Bill Adams Scaling Leadership: Building Organizational Capability and Capacity to Create Outcomes that Matter Most; Wiley, 2019 It feels very appropriate that I launch Rise Leaders Radio with a season focused on movers and shakers in Oak Cliff. This part of Dallas, situated just south of downtown, drew me in like a magnet. My husband and I read about projects and movements initiated by citizens, business and civic leaders in this part of the city and couldn’t get here fast enough. Independence and resourcefulness fueled by passion and intelligence have made living here an ongoing lesson in leadership. I hope this first season, focused on local leadership, inspires you to appreciate the risks people in your own neighborhood or organization take. Financial investment is only one type of risk. People who take bold steps to actualize their ideas also invest precious time and energy and open themselves up to scrutiny and criticism because not everyone will agree with their ideas. If you are one of these committed citizens or business leaders, thank you for putting yourself out there. As this Trailer is being edited and published, I am about halfway through my interviews. That’s why you only hear four voices in the trailer, in addition to mine. A heartfelt thanks go to those that raised their hand to go first and be a guest on the first season. Through these interviews and communication afterward, I’ve had the privilege to deepen my relationship with several of them and hope to circle back to discuss the amazing things I’m learning from and about them. So far on the show: Jennifer Touchet and the vision for Twelve Hills Nature Center, bonus interview with Jennifer Stuart, founder of Seedschool David Spence owner of Good Space Chad West, Dallas City Council District 1, and Chad West Law, PLCC Jacqui Bliss and Renee Reed, owners of Anytime Fitness Dallas (Bishop Arts) Christian Chernock, founder of Christian Chernock...
