    What is Your Resilience Plan for 2025?

    While we don’t have a crystal ball, it’s already clear that 2025 is going to be a year of unprecedented changes. Of course, if you’re like many of the top leaders we work with, you have a can-do attitude that enables you to take on tough issues and do what it takes to exceed expectations. You assume that you’re resilient. But in the face of unrelenting demands, anyone can burn out and not even realize it. Building your resilience plan for 2025, starting today, could be a game-changer. That’s why this week, we’re revisiting our Fan-Favorite conversation with Marie-Helene Pelletier PhD, MBA, also known as MH. Her book, “The Resilience Plan: A Strategic Approach to Optimizing Your Work Performance and Mental Health,” was published in early 2024. Since then it’s become a best seller and received rave reviews from a variety of global media.

Drawing on her extensive background in corporate, insurance, governance, and public sectors, she brings national and international perspectives and expertise on mental health and resilience as a key pillar of overall health.

    Rethinking Common Wisdoms About Building Relationships

    If you’re a regular listener of Growth Igniters® Radio, you know we believe that strong, meaningful relationships matter more than ever. This is what can lead to new possibilities and opportunities for us all in the changing world. Yet, let’s face it: in the face of uncertainty, the protective instinct to keep others at arm’s length can creep in. This can result in interactions that inadvertently become mere transactions. To break the cycle, maybe it’s time to rethink common wisdoms about building relationships. In this “Quick Take” episode, we discuss the common challenge of shifting from treating relationships as transactions to working on building truly collaborative partnerships. To begin the process, we recommend reading the book:  “Plays Well with Others: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Relationships Is (Mostly) Wrong” by best-selling author Eric Barker. His humorous and thought-provoking style makes this a great holiday read.  We also provide three immediately useful ideas for reading the book that can guide you to rethink what it could take to transform transactional connections into deeper, more meaningful relationships. The more we appreciate the complexity of our interactions and what’s behind them, the more rewarding our relationships can be – Pam Harper This week on Growth Igniters Radio: * The challenge of moving from being transactional to creating more meaningful relationships in the changing world * How you can use insights from Eric Barker’s book, “Plays Well with Others,” to rethink common wisdoms about building relationships * Three actionable ideas for transforming interactions into deeper and more meaningful relationships with specific people Resources Mentioned: * Read about Eric Barker’s book, “Plays Well with Others“ * Learn more about Pam’s keynote address at Pam Harper Speaks Accelerate to YOUR Next Level of Success Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Growth Igniters Radio.

    Transforming From CEO to CHO: Chief Happiness Officer

    It’s that time of year again. Many of us are wishing each other a”Happy Holiday Season.” But why does it need to stop there?  What if you could lead a happy company all year long?  While it can be challenging, we had an enlightening conversation with a CEO who actually lives into this vision – even in uncharted territory. Find out how more.  Listen to our fan-favorite conversation with Edwin Edebiri, MBA, of the globally recognized Happy Neighborhood Project. He shares his story of promoting happiness by transforming from a CEO to a CHO: Chief Happiness Officer, and how he’s changing the narrative on what it means to lead a happy company. Edwin is a TEDx speaker, entrepreneur, and coach who has dedicated much of his career to promoting happiness worldwide. He is the founder and CHO of the Happy Neighborhood Project and the I am Happy Project, which has over 70,000 members across 64 cities in 19 countries. Edwin’s work as CHO has significantly impacted communities worldwide. By prioritizing happiness and well-being, he has helped people lead more fulfilling lives and inspired others to do the same. He has been featured in a PBS documentary about happiness, and in 2014, his work on promoting happiness was recognized by the United Nations. He also serves on the board of various profit and not-for-profit organizations. We discuss Edwin’s expansive view of where “happiness” comes from, how he became a “Chief Happiness Officer,” and why he believes that promoting happiness in a business should expand beyond the traditional focus on employees to embrace a wide range of stakeholders, including top-level executives. When you think about a happy company, don’t just narrow it to making your employees happy. Including all stakeholders is how you build a foundation for a truly happy company. — Edwin Edebiri This week on Growth Igniters® Radio: * Edwin’s views on the nature of happiness and leading a happy company * How Edwin developed the concept of how CEOs can also become “Chief Happiness Officers” * The power of committing to promoting happiness, especially in uncertain times * Three immediately useful ideas for fostering happiness in yourself and your company Resources for This Episode * Read more about The Happy Neighborhood Project * Connect with Edwin Edebiri on LinkedIn * Watch Edwin’s TEDx talk, “Happiness As A Default PositionHappiness as a Default Position“ * Listen to our conversation with Natsuyo Lipschutz, who introduced us to Edwin: “The Secret of Leading to Connect across Cultures“ * Visit PamHarperSpeaks.com to find out more about Pam’s insights on game-changing leadership in her new keynote “How Growth Igniters® Lead for Tomorrow, Starting Today” Accelerate to YOUR Next Level of Success Thanks for listening to Growth Igniters® Radio.
