    The Power of Grit: Blue-Collar Heroes Among Us

    In this Labor Day episode, Bob ’n Joyce shine a spotlight on the blue-collar heroes who keep our communities and organizations running. These men and women bring grit, skill, and pride to their work—whether they’re building, fixing, driving, or keeping the lights on. Too often their contributions are overlooked, yet without them the systems we rely on every day simply wouldn’t function. We step back to honor the dignity of all work—not just what happens in corner offices or behind computer screens. Every paycheck, every community, every thriving business stands on the shoulders of people whose names we may not know, but whose impact we feel everywhere. As OD and HR professionals, we have a responsibility to create cultures that celebrate, respect, and support these workers. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about why blue-collar work matters, what we can learn from it, and how we can give these unsung heroes the recognition they deserve. So, grab a snack, pull up a chair, and let’s raise a toast to the backbone of our workplaces and our lives.

    Hard Lessons, Simple Rules: What Really Works in OD

    In this episode, Bob ’n Joyce share the hard-earned principles that helped their OD work actually stick. Too often, change efforts fail because the “rules of the road” are ignored. In past conversations, we may have made OD sound smooth and effortless — but the truth is, most of the tough work was anything but easy. From preparing the ground before diving in to remembering that “thick skin” is essential, these guidelines come from lessons learned the hard way: • Till the soil before leaping in • Never underestimate the value of a good warm-up • When in doubt, stop and check in with the group • Drop “right” and “wrong” from your vocabulary • Spend two-thirds of your time serving, which earns you one-third to push back • Never assume you know better • Grow some thick skin Whether you’re leading your next leadership meeting or tackling a major change initiative, these rules will help smooth the road and improve your odds of success. So come on in, grab a snack, and let’s hit the road together.

    Resistance Isn’t the Enemy

    In this episode, Bob ’n Joyce explore the surprising benefits of resistance to change. Too often, resistance is seen as a problem to squash — but that only fuels it further. Instead, what if resistance is a signal worth listening to? When we meet resistance with curiosity and inquiry, it becomes a powerful ally for successful change. Resistance is natural. It’s the system’s way of saying, “Not so fast.” This conversation was sparked by The Seven C’s of Consulting by Mick Cope — a book we’re reading (and loving). Here are a few flavors of resistance we dig into: • Flavor of the day change – “Here we go again…” • Imposed change – Done to us vs. done with us • Dislike of surprises – “You’re doing what?” • Unpopular issues – The hard stuff nobody wants to face • Fear of the unknown – The imperfect and uncertain • Feeling inadequate – Not up to the challenge • Lack of respect – Doubting the messenger So don’t resist — come on in, grab a snack, and join us for the conversation.

    Unleashing Energy Part 2: The Hidden Force in Leadership and Culture

    In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce pick up where they left off in Episode 204, exploring the infectious power of energy. Too often overlooked, energy shapes how we provoke, improve, and influence the people and systems around us. Each of us carries this superpower, capable of sparking positivity—or negativity—based on how we show up. Every system is in constant flux, driven by the ebb and flow of energy. Today, we share practical ways leaders and OD practitioners can harness this invisible force to elevate individuals, teams, and entire organizations. It begins with learning to see energy at work, everywhere and all the time. Tune in for an energy boost that’s guaranteed to lift your day!

    The Power We Don’t See (But Feel Everywhere)

    In this episode, Bob ’n Joyce tap into the invisible but undeniable power of energy. What happens when we look at organizations — and even society — through the lens of energy? We see opportunities that are too often overlooked. Fresh from a week-long immersion in healing energy at the Omega Institute, Joyce shares her big takeaway: blocked energy is everywhere, stifling creativity and slowing momentum. The challenge — and opportunity — for HR, OD, and all leaders is clear: unleash energy so people and organizations don’t just get by, but thrive. Join us as we explore how to tap into this vital force to spark innovation, build prosperity, and create workplaces (and lives) that flow. So grab a healthy snack and step into the conversation — the power is all around us.

    Assessment Grit: Knowing Before Doing

    In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce dig into the underrated superpower of knowing before doing. Before charging ahead, what if we paused to truly assess what’s needed? We share a playful, low-tech meeting check-in that opened the door to real talk—and it just might work wonders in your next gathering. From informal gut checks to formal tools that steer hiring and change management, we explore how assessments help leaders tune in, not just dive in. You’ll also hear a few “ouch” moments when we skipped this step… and paid the price. So come hang out with us as we assess the art of assessment. Bring your curiosity—and maybe a snack. Welcome in.

  8. The Power of “I Want…”

    28 THG 7

    The Power of “I Want…”

    In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce explore a simple yet powerful technique called “I want…”—a way to name our desires and aspirations out loud. As we cross the 200-episode milestone, we turn inward to uncover what we truly want from our work, and in doing so, open up new possibilities. This candid conversation gets up close and personal, surprising even us with what surfaced. It’s a reminder that we often assume what others want—or even what we want—without asking or expressing it clearly. The “I want…” exercise is a great tool for teams or families to explore their hopes and goals together. When spoken aloud, doubts give way to clarity and connection. Bob ‘n Joyce break down how to use this technique at the end of the episode—give it a try and see what opens up! Come on in. Grab a snack. Welcome!
