Come Rain or Shine Dan Cockerell

In this episode of Come Rain or Shine, Jody and I dig into one of the leadership competencies concepts I am working on, specifically leadership through clarity.
One way I bring clarity is through the Three Buckets. The priority order I set when making decisions is self, family, and work. Taking care of yourself through health and stress management is a way to help you have enough clarity to lead through other decisions. You will also have more clarity on the behaviors you have toward your family and the way you approach your work.
These may change over time. Just make sure you continue to have clarity on what’s important to you, and what you do each day to support those priorities. This also is important at work. Make sure to give clarity on expectations to the people that work there. High performers like clarity because it lets them know what the rules are while still having the opportunity to make things better.
How do you get clarity on the things you need to do each day? What are your three buckets?

Quotes: “Clarity creates consistency. Customers, guests, and clients love consistency”.  

On this episode of Come Rain or Shine, Chelsea Brinkley, virtual executive extraordinary, joins the show to discuss the remote nature of entrepreneurship. 
As one who wears many hats, Chelsea is an expert at remote management of systems and processes that grow business. In her experience, building a remote team often comes down to knowing how each role works together from virtual and executive assistants to online business managers.
Chelsea also shares helpful tips on how she maximizes each day from a time management perspective. From utilizing an app like a Trello board to prioritize projects to using cloud software and file naming systems, working a full-time job in part-time hours has never been easier than the modern age.

Quotes:
“Speed of response…and giving everyone a convenient way to speak up…is key.”
 

On this episode of Come Rain or Shine, Dr. Deborah Gilboa, media personality and keynote speaker, joins the show to discuss the best ways to cope with stress.
A board-certified family physician fluent in sign language, Dr. Gilboa is recognized as one of the most influential voices not only regarding stress management but embracing resilience. Equipped with a simple message, she has a knack for breaking down complicated emotions by compartmentalizing the processing behind them.
For instance, before one can deal with anxiety or grief, one must accept accompanying senses of loss, distrust, and discomfort. As Dr. Gilboa submits, the irony of conquering stress is embracing it through resilience and navigating it with a mission focus. While you can’t shut off the medulla, you can subdue it by remembering the choices you have in front of you.
