    "Comfort Kills More Dreams than Failure," w/ Art Turock

    "Comfort Kills More Dreams than Failure," w/ Art Turock

    We at The Introspective Leader Podcast know that there have been times in our lives when we have desired something big, something well beyond our current realities, but were hesitant to push beyond our self-imposed limitations to achieve it.  Can you relate?  We bet you can, because staying within our comfort zones, and avoiding pushing through the internal barriers we have created for ourselves, is a common feature of human existence.  Mr. Art Turock, however, has developed an insightful and effective process that he says will free us from the confinement we have created for ourselves, and, today, he joins Rachel and Stuart on The Introspective Leader Podcast to share that process with you.

    The Autocratic Style of Leadership and What you Should Know About it

    The Autocratic Style of Leadership and What you Should Know About it

    Have you ever worked for a leader who had a high need for control?  You know, the type of leader who holds all the power and is reluctant to share it?  Perhaps even, you are that type of leader.  Well, whether it be your style or the style of someone you worked for, it is what Kurt Lewin identified in the 1930’s as the autocratic style of leadership; and what it is exactly, and what is its strengths and weaknesses is what Rachel and I discuss today on The Introspective Leader Podcast.

    The Agile Methodology of Process Management and Why you Should be Aware of it, w/Daniel Gagnon

    The Agile Methodology of Process Management and Why you Should be Aware of it, w/Daniel Gagnon

    At the risk of sounding like a brag, I have to say that by now there are few management and leadership concepts about which I don’t have at least a cursory knowledge.  However, an exception is the Agile methodology of project management.  Agile began in the IT field, but the success it has helped create through the years has propelled it beyond IT and to fields and industries of all types, and today’s guest, Mr. Daniel Gagnon, is here to educate us on Agile and how it can help you, your team, and your organization. 

    Mr. Daniel Gagnon is an organizational agility adviser who co-founded the Agile Leader Academy, a boutique training, coaching and consulting firm, to help leaders develop progressive team-building skills in dynamic and adaptive work environments—while avoiding the traps of naïve over-optimism or simplistic positivity. Agile Leader Academy works across a range of industries, including finance, energy, manufacturing, legal, and pharmaceutical.  
    Many business leaders are beginning to realize the benefits—both organizationally and financially—of creating an environment where all employees and stakeholders feel invested and validated enough to challenge the status quo and do what’s needed to help their fellow workers, their company, and the larger community thrive. And Daniel wants to reach and help these leaders.

    Putting the HUMAN Back into HUMAN Performance, w/ Culture Shaman, Vanessa Broers

    Putting the HUMAN Back into HUMAN Performance, w/ Culture Shaman, Vanessa Broers

    We suspect that most of you are familiar with some version of the phrase, “As an employee, it is important to be able to separate home from work.”  But just how accurate is that statement?  Is it truly the standard for company professionalism that we think it is?  And what if we told you that there is now a strong contingent of organizational and leadership experts that think this maxim has been taken to the extreme, and that, in fact, believe allowing the totality of an employee’s human experience into the workplace actually contributes to greater and richer organizational performance?  Would you believe us?  If not, perhaps you will believe today’s guest, Ms. Vanessa Broers, who joins us to discuss why human experience is so often left out of human performance and how the omission of human experience in the workplace is costing organizations dearly.

    Self-Determination Theory and Why it Matters

    Self-Determination Theory and Why it Matters

    One of the more intriguing and relevant motivation theories we have come across is Deci and Ryan's Self-Determination Theory.  We can very much relate to its wholistic approach and its emphasis on an individual's fundamental need for autonomy and I suspect that you will too.

Vanessa Broers ,

What a treat of two, generous, brilliant and humble humans

Stuart and Rachel are the real deal. They’re both brilliant, incredible listeners and really create true, unfolding and intelligent conversations with their guests.

It’s clear that they are in this work to really serve the planet and learn as well as share their deeply valuable life and leadership experiences.

Their playful banter and genuine relationship with each other adds such a layer of playfulness and they’re both so unique and honest in what they bring to the conversation.

Honest, playful, deeply valuable and generous.
