    100. Embrace the Turtle: Why Slowing Down Wins the Race

    Does it feel like everyone around you is moving fast and breaking things?  We live in a hustle culture where many have the “if it’s bigger, faster, and flashier, then it’s always better” mentality.  Only in recent years have I begun to see a broader cultural shift toward slower and more intentional living.   I can personally attest that it’s the “winning” way.   During these first 100 episodes of the podcast, I’ve learned to embrace the way of the turtle.  I’ve learned to resist the urge to compare and instead delight fully in my own journey.  A journey that was slow.  A journey that was about taking “turtle steps” and even a bit of a pause along the way.  And in this journey, I’ve learned 3 important things that I know you’ll appreciate, especially if the loud roar of others zooming by is deafening. If you want to try the slow and steady way and see how it can make your personal and professional life more of what you really want, then listen in for the ways I’ve learned that:  Creating because it matters is enough.  Even if what you create is small.  The power of the pause to rejuvenate your creative spark  Why consistency beats perfection every time  Getting to 100 episodes has been a goal of mine from the beginning.  And I’m grateful to you for coming along with me.  What’s been your slow and steady win?    About: The Reframe to Create podcast is hosted by Joy Spencer, an Executive Leadership and Storytelling Coach, Speaker, and Organizational Development Consultant working with professionals and leaders at all levels within organizations.  Joy leverages over 17 years of experience she gained while working to champion change in social justice movements, including those related to global access to essential medicines and consumer advocacy for online privacy.  This work required a dogged commitment to not merely challenging the status quo, but to reimagining and working towards creating an ideal future.  It is this commitment to creating that has shaped Joy’s coaching philosophy and approach today.

    96. What You Create Is Not Your Life

    What’s your most important thing for this year?  How do you decide on your priority?  Do you take a shot in the dark or ask someone you think is wiser?  Answering this question is not only important for January but to shape and color the entire mood and vibe of your year.   If you don’t get a clear view on your priority it’s likely the year will slip right through your fingers in lots of activities that you won't ultimately find meaningful.  In the episode, I talk about how I use a Priority Investment Circle to get my year right.  You may be surprised to know that despite having this podcast I don’t put creating as #1 or the center of my life. Why you ask?  Because your life should take up that space. And there are certain things you can and must do to prioritize your life.  Listen in as I share what these things are to set you up for a year that you’ll feel is full of what matters most.    Reference Episode Reframe to Create Episode 10 - Your Work is Not the Center    About: The Reframe to Create podcast is hosted by Joy Spencer, an Executive Leadership and Storytelling Coach, Speaker, and Organizational Development Consultant working with professionals and leaders at all levels within organizations.  Joy leverages over 17 years of experience she gained while working to champion change in social justice movements, including those related to global access to essential medicines and consumer advocacy for online privacy.  This work required a dogged commitment to not merely challenging the status quo, but to reimagining and working towards creating an ideal future.  It is this commitment to creating that has shaped Joy’s coaching philosophy and approach today.

    93. How to Reframe the Drama Narratives on Your Job | Annette Simmons

    Are you dealing with insufferable people on your job? 🤔 Are you the insufferable person? 😆 Whoooo okay I won’t go there.  But seriously, how are the turf wars and the drama going these days at your job?  Are you ready to get a reframe so you can experience things differently?  If you are my guest Annette Simmons is going to help you do just that.  Annette is the CEO of Group Process Consulting and a best-selling author of books that define and promote “power-with” strategies and principles even though (and in some cases, specifically because) they undermine autocratic “power-over” strategies.   One of her bestsellers The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion through the Art of Storytelling was named twice as one of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.   This is the book that introduced me to Annette’s work but it’s just scratching the surface.  We dive into the why and how to deal with the territorial games on your job that might be driving you mad.    In this episode, we talk about:  How accepting your difference, leaning into your curiosity, and “following your weird” can lead you to the unique things you create  Why it’s important that you not dismiss the drama on your job as simply noise  How to spot the predictable tactics commonly used to protect silos on your job and how to deal with them  How looking for and listening to stories of others can be your empathy superpower on your job  The six stories you need to know how to share  And so much more!  Annette is a wealth of wisdom and practical advice that you’ll only start to experience in this episode.  To keep up with her and learn more check out ways to contact her below:  Annette Simmons on LinkedIn Annette Simmons Website  Annette Simmons Books Six Kinds of Stories    About My Guest:  Annette Simmons is a vibrant keynote speaker, author, consultant, and CEO of Group Process Consulting.  Annette’s most popular book, The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion through the Art of Storytelling was named twice as one of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time.  All five of Simmons’ business books define and promote “power-with” strategies and principles even though (and in some cases, specifically because) they undermine autocratic “power-over” strategies.   Annette uses storytelling to teach work groups how to dialogue about diverse perspectives and connect the dots between seemingly adversarial perceptions into a new shared bigger picture.  Her first book Territorial Games: Understanding and Ending Turf Wars at Work was the result of her recording true stories about “turf wars” that revealed ten predictable tactics commonly used to protect silos.   Her most recent book Drinking from a Different Well: How Women’s Stories Change What Power Means in Action challenges traditional assumptions about what power is, what it is for, and who should have it.  This book is a love letter to women who instinctively seek to balance “winning” with moral acts of generosity that protect the weak and preserve our planet. Her clients have included NASA, Microsoft, Meta, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, businesses large and small, non-profits, and governments.   About: The Reframe to Create podcast is hosted by Joy Spencer, an Executive Leadership and Storytelling Coach, Speaker, and Organizational Development Consultant working with professionals and leaders at all levels within organizations.  Joy leverages over 17 years of experience she gained while working to champion change in social justice movements, including those related to global access to essential medicines and consumer advocacy for online privacy.  This work required a dogged commitment to not merely challenging the status quo, but to reimagining and working towards creating an ideal future.  It is this commitment to creating that has shaped Joy’s coaching philosophy an
