  1. Pronoia: The Opposite of Paranoia

    FEB 11

    Pronoia: The Opposite of Paranoia

    Pronoia is the opposite of paranoia -- it's the idea that the world has your back. The world (or universe, or god, or other people) has your back and is looking out for your greater good. This opposes the feeling we often have that the world is out to get us (or that other people are!). Join the conversation as we explore negative bias, fear, and that feeling of "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and what's possible if we take a look from the POV of pronoia (not to be confused with toxic positivity!).

  2. Being a Leader and a Coach

    JAN 28

    Being a Leader and a Coach

    We can tend to think in terms of the distinction between a manager and a leader and a coach. In this episode, we'll talk about all three, and how you can be a leader and a coach (and a manager!) all at the same time. Join the conversation as we talk about how to transition from a traditional style leader and manager, to becoming a leader who is also a great coach!

  3. Advocating for Yourself

    JAN 14

    Advocating for Yourself

    You're great at advocating for others, but when it comes to advocating for yourself as much as (or more than) you advocate for others, it can feel hard to impossible to fight for YOU. Leaders have a tendency to “eat last” and make that mean that until everyone else is fully taken care of, you don’t get to ask for anything for yourself. In many cases, this leads to not only not moving forward in your career, but also being seen as the person who will do anything asked of you, which can cause a backslide in your career. Join the conversation as we talk about how self-advocacy can make a huge impact on your life.

  4. Tying Up Your Loose Ends (coaches call it "completion")

    12/24/2024

    Tying Up Your Loose Ends (coaches call it "completion")

    When you carry unfinished thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from one place to another, you live in a space where you don’t get to move yourself forward in a complete way. Your toxic boss from two jobs ago comes with you and impacts how you feel about your current amazing boss. Your perfectionism from high school AP classes still impacts how you make decisions about whether a project at work is good enough. When you look for “closure”, often that comes in the form of looking for help or apology from someone else – this means that someone else controls whether you get to feel like a situation is closed. But when you seek “completion”, you get a chance to do the work within yourself to determine to how to move yourself forward. Join the conversation as John and Lauren explore how using completion as a tool has helped them – and how it can support you as a leader!

  5. What Do You Want?

    12/10/2024

    What Do You Want?

    "What do you want?" is a question that can cause a feeling of dread for busy leaders. When there's so much going on, so many decisions to make, and so much to DO, stopping to think about what we want can be completely overwhelming, and so . . . we avoid even thinking about what we want. Join the conversation about how to start thinking about YOU in the swirl of busyness!

    11/26/2024

    The Four Step Results Formula

  7. Becoming a Beginner . . . Again

    11/12/2024

    Becoming a Beginner . . . Again

    When we become leaders, it's because we've gotten really, really good at one (or many) things, and we're seen as the experts. This makes new beginnings -- well -- extra scary. In this episode, John and Lauren talk about why being a beginner is so hard and makes us want to run away and hide under the bed and what can be amazing about being a beginner. Join the conversation as we try to make the scary position of being a beginning just a little more fun!

  8. People Are Your Greatest Asset

    10/22/2024

    People Are Your Greatest Asset

    We've seen so many companies have their ups and downs in the way they treat their most important assets: people. We've seen leadership fluctuate from "work from home is here to stay!" to "everyone back to the office because we don't trust you" and everything in between. Join the conversation as we talk about what the cost is of not treating humans as assets you need to protect, and also, what the benefits of recognizing how valuable your people are can be.
