    Crucial Talks Episode 110: Control Your Confidence

    Confidence is the key to having a better workplace experience. It is something you need to control and shouldn't be dependent on your boss or coworkers. We are all human, which means we will all make mistakes. We will frustrate other people, we will become frustrated ourselves. If we don't have high confidence, we can end up hating where we work or just feeling bad at the place we spend a lot of our time. The more we can control our own confidence, the better we will feel and perform. In this episode, we talk about what confidence is: appreciating our own abilities and qualities that give us a feeling of self-assurance. We also talk about how to build our confidence in two ways: Journaling and checklists. To contact Mike about coaching, speaking, or consulting visit www.crucialtalks.com

    Crucial Talks Episode 108 Knowledge Not Just Information

    There is a difference between knowledge and information. Knowledge is the key to success. Information is the facts and data we can point to objectively and transfer easily. We can see how information can be easily provided and transferred in training and meetings.  It's also what a lot of people are tired of in organizations. Knowledge is different because it comes from experience and education. It isn't just information, it goes beyond information. If we understand the concept that knowledge is information, but information is not knowledge, we can do what human beings love to do and what has made us so successful as a species: We can learn. We can understand. We can predict. If you need any help or would like to talk some more about it, please reach out to me at: www.crucialtalks.com

    Crucial Talks Episode 106: Susan Ibitz, The "Human Hacker"

    Susan Ibitz talks with Mike Sedam about "human hacking." Tips about communication, both verbal and in writing are discussed. Susan's company is the Human Behavior Lab where they unlock the science behind human behavior. She is also a member of the Forbes Coaches Council and lectures at Loyola University Chicago. She bases her information on how people want to receive, and now how we want to give the information. That nuance is a powerful mindset shift. Susan starts with discussing the importance of knowing ourselves first. This leads to how we can use body language, facial expression, tone of voice, and other communication to be more effective in speaking with others. Susan also discusses words to use in emails so that we can be more effective using written words.
