What motivates people? Why do they do what they do? What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a podcast of candid conversation. Sometimes as commentary. Sometimes as discussions with fascinating people doing remarkable things. Topics range widely and all of them have one thing in common. Dogs.

    Judge Not Lest Not ...

    Buckle up buttercups. Something of a confession in this week’s episode - it’s about judgement. If I’m pointing fingers somewhere, there are a bunch pointing back. And still we love love love to do it. Truth is, though, the place to look is the mirror. Problem is, when you behave that way, it’s really bad for your dogs. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything. Whether her own musings or in conversation with industry leaders, each episode invites curiosity.  Curiosity not about what people do, but why they do it. Who they are and what makes them tick. It’s about digging underneath to reveal the thing that is most true - that we are more alike than we are not. A mix of solo episodes where Cathy shares her insights and experience or Cathy engaged in conversation with fascinating humans doing amazing things. No matter the format - it’s unvarnished, radically honest and entirely unleashed.  This podcast compliments Unleashed Leadership, the coaching business through which Cathy works with symphony orchestras, corporate clients, and individuals to help them unleash and untether their leadership and connect with others in a way that truly engages. #judgement #leadership #dogbehavior #dogtraining #leadershipcoach #consciouscommunication #TalkUnleashed #UnleashedLeadership #FixYourEndofTheLeash

    Complacency

    Ahhhh. Complacency. Not sure when it happened, but we seem to have devolved into a world where people get to be influencers for no reason other than gaming an algorithm. Folks who want fame, fortune and results without actually doing the hands in clay work to earn it. Lest you think I’m launching into a takedown of society - don’t worry. Per usual this is about dog behavior, human behavior, and how the aforementioned problem has created catastrophic issues for dog owners (and job security for dog trainers). In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation.

    We Hold These Truths

    It’s a big year for the United States of America. It’s the 250th anniversary of the nation’s birth. No. I’m not going to do a dissertation on politics, governance or independence. I am going to talk about how there is a critical line in our founding documents that applies to dog training. We hold these truths… it’s not that they’re self evident. It’s that they’re all true at the same time.  My guest is a powerful one, one who’s really large and in charge. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation.

    Sportsmanship

    It’s a bit after the fact so I'm overdue to wax effusive about the lessons of leadership as they relate to ice hockey during playoff season, but gotta be honest. I was pretty heartbroken this year. More on that another time. This week, though - ice hockey, leadership, and dogs. Three things that happen in a group. Three things that require a true collective energy and a huge sense of individual responsibility. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation.

    Seasonal Change

    Every relationship has a season. Every. Single. One. You’ve probably heard the phrase - “reason, season or lifetime” - the idea that some folks come into our lives for a moment, others for a period of time and when we’re lucky a select few for a lifetime. Thing is, no matter the length of that relationship, within that period that relationship will evolve. Question is - do we change along with it? You know where we can explore this and see just how we do? Knowing me and this podcast, you’ll probably guess what I’m going to say. Yep. The relationship we have with our dogs. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation.

    Get the Flock Out of Here

    Well hey. It's been a hot minute. A month, actually. Between my amazing producer's jammed schedule and my own we opted for something of a break ... good to be back. This week on the podcast - the things that technology just can’t do. Yes, there are things. Things where only BE-ing there serves. In this week’s episode, a delightful romp in the woods where even sensitive technology is lacking.  In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything.

    Surprises (and Trees)

    Henry David Thoreau spent just a bit over two years at Walden Pond. He removed himself entirely from civilization and then returned with a viewpoint that reverberates today. I'm in a bit of my own On Walden Pond time, as you know, and this week's lesson is particularly related to that. Mastering true connection with my dogs requires that I be fully present with them, fully aware of our surroundings and exquisitely attentive to what that experience is. In one way it's deeply present and connected, and yet it also means that I'm not attentive to the larger picture or even my own experience. In this week's episode I shift that - taking a rare walk in the woods without my dogs, and finding new perspectives and discoveries as a result. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation.

    Dragonflies

    Springtime means a lot of things when you live in the woods. The wildlife is the best part. Except for the bugs — and Virginia’s insect community is epic. Mosquitos that could carry away small children sort of thing. It didn’t occur to me there might be some sort of “message” with them. Until recently I was the one who screamed as I swatted, smushed, or otherwise whacked any bug in my space. I’ve turned into the person who gently captures and carries spiders outside. In the process I’ve also come to learn that each of these beings also carries a message according to many indigenous people. So if you’re someone repelled by the “woo woo”-ness of such things, this week’s episode might not be for you. But if you’re ready to take a little wander, dig in. In a world where what passes for radical honesty usually means someone is just letting things fly outta their pie-hole without much care for others, it’s time for radically authentic conversation. Conscious communication is simple, but often isn’t easy. That’s why Cathy Brooks created Talk, Unleashed – a weekly podcast of radically honest conversation about — everything.
