    Restoring Meaning, Purpose And Fun To Your Life & Work with Dr. Sunil Raheja

    Restoring Meaning, Purpose And Fun To Your Life & Work with Dr. Sunil Raheja

    "Think carefully about where you want to go. Make plans, but hold them lightly."  - Dr. Sunil Raheja
     
    Do you repeatedly get in the way of your own progress? Find it easier to blame others than to change yourself? If so, today's podcast episode is for you.
    We'll hear from Dr. Sunil Raheja, a psychiatrist and executive coach, and dig into his book, "Dancing With Wisdom: A Sacred Quest to Restore Meaning, Purpose and Fun to Your Life and Work."
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    Why the first step in moving forward is realizing that you need to make a change How Mindset, Motivation, and Methods all play a role in your progress The importance of re-connecting with your values Why shutting down the noise is critically important..and much, much more! The beginning of wisdom
    Wisdom begins with the realization that there are things you have no control over and things that are not in your grasp. But you have agency, more than what you give yourself credit for. You may not be able to change the weather, but you can always choose how you’re going to look at life. You can change your attitude and choose to look at the good rather than the bad.
    Mindset is everything
    I used to think that mindset was important. Now what I say is, “Mindset is everything.” The reason being is if your mindset is not right, no matter what you’re doing, you’re not going to be satisfied.
    One advice you’d give young managers today
    Think carefully about where you want to go. Make plans for your future but hold them lightly, and look at everything as a learning experience. There’s no such thing as failure. Pace your life for the long haul.

    Brain Bump with Mark Herschberg 092

    Brain Bump with Mark Herschberg 092

    "Where you read information isn't where you need information."  - Mark Herschberg
    Do you ever find yourself consuming great content, but then struggling to find it later when you actually need it? If so, today's episode is for you!
    MIT instructor Mark Herschberg makes a return visit to the show to discuss his innovative new platform, Brain Bump.
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    - How powerful peer learning can be for your development
    - Why the content we all consume is rarely accessible in critical moments
    - How Brain Bump only sends the tips you want, when you request them; it never sends an unrequested notification
    - Bonus: you don't even have to open the app!
     
    The challenge with traditional learning
    When we think about most of our knowledge, it has just been direct information transfer, such as when you learn the quadratic formula. It is very black and white and you know exactly where to use it. But the skills that we use as leaders, from leading people to communication, negotiation, team building – these are not cut and dry. There’s no formula for leadership.
    Peer learning’s edge over other learning styles
    Peer learning is not about memorizing formulas. It’s about learning subtle skills that are often circumstantial. So by coming together as a group and having discussions, like I’m going to gain your perspective and you’re going to get mine… that’s how we learn.
    Ineffective learning
    The problem is two-fold. First, where you read information isn’t where you need information. And the second is that you read a book or listen to a podcast episode, and then you forget it. I wanted to address it.

    Taking Care of Business with The Enneagram with Karl Hebenstreit PhD

    Taking Care of Business with The Enneagram with Karl Hebenstreit PhD

    "Create the vision, and step back."  - Karl Hebenstreit PhD
    Are you intrigued by the Enneagram? A believer or a skeptic?
    Today is the first episode of The New Leader Podcast for 2023, and my special guest is Karl Hebenstreit PhD. I was skeptical when approached about this topic, but glad I kept an open mind as we had a really interesting chat.
    Karl is an executive coach, speaker, and organizational development consultant, and author of the book, "Taking Care of Business with The Enneagram."
    In this episode, you'll learn:
    The 9 primary core motivators not covered in other personality tests How understanding this framework can help you create a better path forward in 2023, both personally & professionally The difference between the Golden Rule vs. Platinum Rule, and how to leverage this when leading for the first time.   The ‘Platinum Rule’
    Most people are familiar with the golden rule ‘treat others the way you want to be treated’. And I was going along with that philosophy until I presented at a conference… and learned that it’s about invoking the ‘Platinum Rule’ of finding out how people wanted to be treated. That is going to be different than the way you’d want to be treated.
    What sets apart the Enneagram
    Any tool like the Myers-Briggs, DISC, Insights, or Hogan – these tools focus on the behaviors. They don’t focus on the purpose or the motivation or the reason behind these behaviors. And that’s where the Enneagram comes in.
    It boils it down to the nine primary core motivators that we have in our lives. And each of us is going to be affiliating with one of them more than the other eight.
    Breaking out of the box
    Human beings are very fond of categorizing people. So how do you break out of the box that you’re put in? And so knowing which box you are put in is actually a release because now you know, “Oh great, I know what box I put myself in and what other people are probably putting me in. Now, how can I break out of that box?”
    So [knowing your Enneagram] is really a way of breaking out of your box by identifying what box you’re already in.”

    Leadership Lessons From 108 Countries with Earle G. Hall

    Leadership Lessons From 108 Countries with Earle G. Hall

    "Many of us forget to be in service to the most important person in our lives - ourselves." - Earle G. Hall
    Do you find vulnerability scary? Have you ever been told you need to become more self-aware? Then today's episode is for you!
    My guest is Earle G. Hall, CEO of AXES.ai, a fintech company present in over 40 countries dedicated to the eradication of money laundering, addictive gambling, and illicit activities.
    I took furious notes during this interview because when you've traveled to 108 countries like he has, you learn a few things ;)
    Earle is Vice-Chairman of the International Gaming Standards Association and a Government Blockchain Association board member. He is a graduate of the Royal Military College of Canada and a Veteran Army Officer. He also holds a master's degree in Public Administration and has undertaken doctoral studies in Organizational Psychology.
    He hails from my home province of Newfoundland, and in this episode you'll learn:
    Why one of the greatest qualities a new leader can cultivate is self-awareness, and how to crack that code early in your career The power of humanizing your colleagues in a world of lost connection (hint: it's easier than you think) A life-changing tip he received from General Romeo Dallaire, and how it can help elevate you, too...and more! How Vulnerability Inspires Others
    The more I showed them my real, authentic, and vulnerable self, the more engaged they became with me and the more productive they became. That’s when I learned that there’s something more to leadership than just giving direction, orders, and getting things done.
     
    Overcoming your fears and insecurities
    When you look out to the group and you’re trying to guess everything they’re judging about you, you’re just judging yourself.
    So what you can do as a new leader is you can take note of everything you think people are judging you about, because all that is is chatter coming out of your brain. It’s doubt, lack of confidence, self-esteem, and these are the things that you need to overcome to sit inside yourself and just be authentic.
     
    Making the most out of your new leader role
    New leaders have a competitive edge. Because when you’re a new leader, you know almost nothing, and so you get to ask questions and learn many things. You get to listen actively and engage with people sincerely.
    And when an employee sees a new leader that is interested, engage, and genuinely wanting to understand, that employee will open up their entire knowledge base and hand it over to you for free.

    Collaborating With Leaders Outside Your Organization with Jacques Lopez 088

    Collaborating With Leaders Outside Your Organization with Jacques Lopez 088

    "There's no easy way to make hard decisions." - Jacques Lopez
    Are you a leader who has to sell to/collaborate with leaders outside your organization? If so, the latest episode of The New Leader Podcast is for you!
    My guest today is Jacques Lopez, Sr Director North American Channels at Veracode.
    Jacques holds a BSc from Northeastern University and a MBA from Dalhousie University. And, we used to work as doormen at a campus bar way back when. It was a blast to trade a few stories back and forth, as well as hear Jacques' keen insight on how to work successfully with leaders outside your organization.
    In this episode you'll learn:
    The importance of knowing exactly what you want (and how to create a partner profile) How to ensure you're working at the right level (where decision-making happens) The power of a "frame of reference" and how to create one that works effectively… and much more!  
    Getting on the right foot
    If you have an idea of what’s the ideal partner profile or what the ideal relationship would look like, having that as a starting point is very helpful. Because if you don’t know what you want, you can spend a lot of time running circles around people that have interest but don’t have a good alignment with the company, or the value proposition you have for them just won’t land.
     
    Choosing the right person to work with
    Make sure you’re working with someone at the right level to accomplish the goals that you have. You can’t go too low or too high. If you go too low, somebody may not have the authority to try and get other people involved in the company, to help build out a better alignment. And if you go too high, you get connected to other people but, things aren’t necessarily happening at the tactical level when you’re dealing with a strategic CEO. So that’s something you need to be aware of as well.
     
    One critical lesson in relationship building
    Not everybody operates the way you operate. There are some people that are more relationship based, some are very detailed when it comes to numbers. You have to meet people where they’re at and help them be successful the way they do things.
