    466: Leading with Cultural Respect with Dr. Ling Hua

    As our world becomes increasingly connected, we work with teams spanning continents, cultures, and contexts. What works brilliantly in one culture can completely miss the mark in another. For example, silence in a meeting might mean respect, not disengagement. Humility might be mistaken for a lack of leadership potential, and direct communication styles can either build trust or create distance, depending on who’s listening. If you’re ready to stop making assumptions and get curious about the people you lead and coach, this episode is for you. Join us! Dr. Ling Hua is an ICF-certified executive leadership coach and former global biotech executive. In today’s episode, she discusses the critical importance of cultural awareness in leadership and shares helpful tips and techniques we can put into practice. Dr. Ling has become an expert in something the world needs more of: leading with cultural respect. Drawing on her experience working across three continents, she explores how leaders and coaches can navigate high- and low-context communication styles, avoid cultural assumptions, and create inclusive environments for diverse teams.  Show Highlights: Understanding what it means to lead with cultural respect High-context vs. low-context communication styles: reading non-verbal cuesFactoring cultural differences into performance reviewsMistakes in cross-cultural relationships happen when we don’t understand humility vs. assertiveness.Dr. Ling’s tips for cultural awareness in different types of organizationsThe impact of coaching and a coaching mindset on diversity within organizations and individualsDr. Ling’s observations about the evolution of company culture and overall cultural awareness in organizationsDr. Ling’s key takeaways about cultural respect in leadership:Don’t assume, ask questions.Adapt your approach.Look beneath the surface.Meet people where they are.Remember, our differences make us stronger, not weaker. Don’t miss our Enroll More Clients: Clarity Sprint 5-Day Challenge!

    465: It's Not Laziness: Understanding Procrastination with Robin J. Emdon

    Have you ever found yourself staring at your to-do list, desperately wanting to work, but somehow—-NOT working? You’re scrolling through social media, reorganizing your desk, making another coffee—-doing anything but the thing you actually need to do. You are not lazy or broken, and according to today’s guest, your problem isn’t willpower; it’s neuroscience. Are you ready to achieve more with brain-based strategies? Join us for a conversation that will change how you think about productivity.  Robin J. Emdon, known as “the procrastination slayer,” shares his personal journey from chronic procrastination to accountability coach. After realizing that he took 10 years to complete a 6-year degree due to procrastination, Robin researched the neuroscience behind productivity and wrote Get Resultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done. He explains procrastination through brain science, describing the conflict between threat modality and reward modality. He introduces his “inner productivity team,” the Conductor, the Fun-Sized Warrior, and the Scholar. His work emphasizes that accountability is the critical missing link for sustained productivity, citing research that shows a 33% improvement in goal achievement with the proper accountability structure. Robin’s signature momentum formula, “Do it today–Profit tomorrow–Repeat,” helps clients worldwide turn daily action into meaningful progress and attainable success. He does this from his quiet corner on England’s southwest coast.  Show Highlights: Robin’s journey: a 2019 face-palm moment that changed everythingThe prevalence of procrastination The COVID-19 shutdown—and an opportunity to do meaningful researchRobin’s embarrassment about his procrastination problemThe structure of Robin’s book, GetResultsology®: The Science of Getting Stuff Done, divided into three specific sections“Money is infinite; you can always make more. Your time and life are finite. Procrastination greatly impacts your ‘time account’.”Momentum is the missing link to productivity—and this creates lifestyle freedom.To get into “the productivity groove,” you need an inner productivity team: the Conductor (dopamine), the Fun-Sized Warrior (noradrenaline), and the Scholar (acetylcholine).Assessing your threat modality vs. your reward modalityUnderstanding accountability–and how it drives results Resources: Connect with Robin J.

    463: Congrats! You’re Promoted (Now What?) Bridging the Leadership Gap with Noel Massie

    Leadership is both a skill and a science. Today’s focus is on what happens the day AFTER a promotion. The problem with promotions is that being good at your job and being good at leading people can be two distinctly different skill sets. This episode will change the way you think about leadership development. Ready to learn more? Join us! Noel Massie, former VP of Operations at UPS, discusses intentional leadership and value-based development. In his role at UPS, Massie supported and guided package delivery and logistics services in the US, and he continues to mentor young leaders and supervisors even after his retirement in 2019. Drawing from his 40-year career overseeing 200,000 employees, Massie emphasizes that leadership is about influencing behavior without coercion, and that newly promoted supervisors need structured training rather than being thrown into roles unprepared. His book, Congrats! You've Been Promoted, provides practical frameworks like the “four by five method” for feedback and conflict resolution, targeting frontline leaders who are promoted based on technical skills but lack leadership training. You’ll learn how conflict can be handled without raising your voice, why feedback needs a 4:1 ratio to actually work, and the real reason newly promoted supervisors derail within their first year.  Show Highlights: Defining leadership: “the ability to influence a group or individual in their behaviors without coercion”Understanding leadership development as a scienceThe problem with the promotion gapTips for helping new leaders succeed:Care about them.Act with some level of daily development.Navigating fairness, ethics, and integrity on your teamTips for effective feedback (motivational and formative in a 4:1 ratio)The “four by five method,” with four perspectives and five levels of intensityUsing metaphors to disarm the circumstances of a conflictUsing mentorship and “sticky development” to train leadersNoel’s #1 takeaway: “Invest in your development personally. If you make no investment, why would you expect a return?” Resources: Connect with Noel Massie: Website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Congrats!
