Grounding and Growing Leadership Podcast Tara Gronhovd and Pamela Nelson

This week, Tara and Pamela dive into the concept of developing “Inspiring Accountability” in the workplace. What is the first thought that comes to mind when you hear the word “accountability”? 

Accountability is often linked to negative feelings such as shame, but if we reframe it as progress, we can see it as a steppingstone toward improvement rather than a personal attack. When we ask ourselves two simple questions, “what is in the way?” and given what’s in the way, “what is possible?” it removes any blaming or shaming aspects from accountability. Join us today as Tara and Pamela explore identifying accountability "red flags," practicing accountability as a leader using Elaina Noell's "CLEAR Results Model," and fostering trust within your team through accountability. 

At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor, and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys. 

CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts. If you are interested in learning more and taking the CliftonStrengths assessment for you or your team, please reach out to tara@aligntransform.com.

Encountering Grief at Work 

This week’s episode was brought to you by another listener request! What does it look like to show support and allow people the space to grieve, while still running a successful business? 

Managing grief in the workplace, whether it be your own or a colleague’s, can be difficult to navigate. Join us today while we discuss encountering grief in the workplace. We will walk through what it looks like, sounds like, and feels like showing support for someone we care about in a professional environment, and how you yourself can ask for support in a time of need. As leaders, it is our responsibility to create a work environment that allows people to show up as they are, and know that whatever they may be going through, they will be met with kindness and grace.

It’s a holiday week which means we’re doing a Holiday Replay where we take a popular episode from the past and replay it for you now. And we selected one of our highest feedback episodes from last year, Shifting Out of Survival Mode because we want everyone listening to experience the FREEDOM of shifting from survival exhaustion to thriving. Thanks for listening and we’ll be back next week with an important conversation about Grieving in the workplace. and now, here’s our episode! 

Are you living in survival mode? You’re not alone AND it’s unhealthy to stay in survival mode; our bodies need rest to thrive. But how do you get off the treadmill that’s built solely on emergencies and crises? 

Coming out of survival mode can seem scary because that’s what got you through the tough times (whether individually or as a business). We hope you’ll listen along today and discover some techniques to help step off the survival mode treadmill and land on better ground with solid footing.

Today our guest, Rachel Gray, joins us with the most fascinating story. You may look at her role as a cattle producer as something you might not be able to relate to, but you need to trust us on this. She has a lot of wisdom to share that applies to everyone! Her innovative approach to rebranding a family legacy in a male-dominated industry is amazing.

Family businesses can be a little dicey at times, but Rachel shares how having the right conversations at the right time is one of the best ways to start a transition in your family’s legacy. Maintaining trust in those relationships will provide the strength needed to take calculated risks for change.
