Twins Talk it Up Podcast twinstalkitup

Conflict is not inherently negative and is a normal aspect of human interaction. Avoiding conflict altogether creates silos and internal tension, which in turn impacts organizational culture and performance. While it can seem uncomfortable to address and navigate, conflict can also be an opportunity to learn and for growth. Conflict can provide clarity, help inspire creativity, strengthen culture and build self-awareness.

Owner and Founder of Stearns Consulting, Troy Stearns shares his journey into becoming a conflict resolution leadership consultant and how his time serving aboard a submarine in The U.S. Navy became foundational for honing his skills and strengthening his practice.

Highlights include:
Naval terminology and nomenclature.
A commitment to continuous learning as a key to understanding conflict, communication and growth.
Understanding structure and your people will help to diffuse problems before they arise.
Troy’s Conflict is O.K.A.Y. program, designed to help leaders gain confidence to engage. 
5 modes of conflict engagement include competitiveness collaboration, compromising, avoidance and accommodating.
Importance of active listening and the power of self-talk. 
Appreciate the challenge to accept different perspectives and cultures; “We're not white, we're not black, we're not brown, we're not yellow. We're all blue!”

Effective leaders not only advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) but also embody vulnerability—an essential quality that cultivates openness, empathy, community and inclusivity. As a leader within your organization, do you help to foster a culture that is safe for dialogue, welcoming of ideas, acknowledging of diverse journeys, providing sponsorships and supporting growth?

Kerry Robinson, Commercial Distribution Director at Ping Identity shares why it is important for organizations and leaders to promote awareness and drive change by expecting and supporting a diverse and inclusive workforce. You accomplish this by championing all identities. 

Highlights include:
How others have supported her leadership journey and set the stage for Kerry to support others. People want to be seen, empower them to show up.
Value of participating in your organization's Employee Resource Groups (ERGs); much like Women of Ping, Ping RED (Racial, Ethnic and Diversity).
Kerry's belief that, "there's nothing more important than to be authentically you."
Kerry's conviction that, "When your most passionate people get quiet, this is when the leaders should absolutely be concerned."

Do executives and coaches need coaching? You’ve been mastering your art as a coach and leader. You’ve learned to draw out the best from your teams and clients. You are constantly asking, ‘how are you doing’ and ‘what are you working on’; but when was the last time you were asked those same questions? If you are going to continue to develop and expect to give the very best version of yourself, how can you not invite coaches to support you?

Jeanne Omlor is a Business Strategist and a certified Servant Leadership Executive Coach with Jeanne Omlor International. Her focus is helping coaches excel in their practice by ‘coaching the coach.’ As Jeanne puts it, there is ‘a flaw, if coaches don't believe that they ever need help, but insist that others need their help.'

Discussion highlights include:
Reinventing herself until she landed where she was meant to be.
Be curious and be willing to ‘up level your skills.’
Ask ‘what is my gap’ as you could need coaching on your mindset, lack of marketing expertise etc.
Working on new offerings as well as her Business of Wealth Impact Podcast Program.

To learn more about Jeanne, visit jeanneomlor.com/ and she is also offering her Client Acquisition Roadmap for free, a strategy overview of how you identify your ICP and grow your practice.
