    The Power of Mindfulness with Wade Brill

    "It’s OK to say “I’m having an off day” It doesn’t mean we get to show up however we want. But there’s empowerment in giving ourselves permission to call out what’s present. " That's just part of the insightful conversation I got to have with Wade Brill. Wade Brill is a Mindfulness and Leadership Coach, Podcaster, and Speaker who helps busy professionals around the world experiencing stress and overwhelm be more present, productive, and energized. At the age of 21, Wade survived Hodgkin’s Lymphoma while simultaneously losing her mother to Leukemia.

    "Building a Thriving Company Culture and the Transition to being Employee-Owned." A Conversation with Noah Everly of Ghilotti Construction

    Noah Everly is the Chief Positivity Officer at Ghilotti Construction. He also serves as Co-Chair on the Ownership Culture Team which was established in 2023 and plays a major role in managing the company’s transition to employee-owned. I asked Noah to be a guest on Virtual Coffee. This month I am focusing on interviewing individuals who work for organizations that live their values. When I saw the “Day in the Life” videos that Ghilotti and Noah produced and also noted that he was the first ever “Chief Positivity Officer” I had ever met, I had to learn more. Join our conversation! I think you will enjoy it!

    Teaching and Learning EQ and Resilience with Kim Bilyeu

    Hi friends! I’m excited to share this podcast for a couple of reasons. 1) I think it’s inspiring and motivating to hear from people who love what they do for a living, and who are really making a positive change, and 2) It’s about emotional intelligence, and resilience, two things we can all benefit from learning more of. Kim Bilyeu is passionate about training and leadership. She works in education and leads the worldwide team in charge of developing all the training materials for all employees globally, for Johnson & Johnson, in their cardiac department. When I saw her present on “Mastering Emotional Intelligence Training” as a guest on an ATD webinar, I was struck by the story of how she helped introduce EQ training to help resolve issues they were seeing. Surgeons and college grads were struggling to work together. With Kim's recommendation, Johnson & Johnson tried EQ training on a small pilot group and saw that it had a positive impact - so much so that they saw increased success rates with product adoption and a decrease in turnover. EQ is now a fundamental part of training for all employees at J&J. I thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot from the conversation with Kim. I hope you do, too.  You can access the ATD webinar with your ATD member log in here. You can access the Brene' Brown video on empathy that we reference here.

    Leveraging Agile Strategies for Navigating Personal Change

    I’ve been hearing a common narrative from friends and family. We are all in some state of re-defining who we are and how we are perceived as our post-pandemic selves. I recently had the chance to sit down and re-interview Melanie Franklin; Melanie is an experienced practitioner, trainer, and agile change management consultant. Along with running her own global change consulting business, Melanie is the chief examiner for the agile change agent certification, which I completed and received April of 2021 and enjoyed immensely. Listen to our discussion to learn tips for applying agile change methodology in personal and professional settings. Share your thoughts, and if you enjoy this episode, share it with a friend who's going through change.  Thank you for listening!

    Values Based Leadership with Ann Rhoades

    This episode's guest is Ann Rhoades. Ann is the author of “Built on Values”: Creating an Enviable culture that outperforms the competition. I had firsthand experience working for a company where we put the suggestions in the book to work for us. The result was a truly values-based culture, where we had specific, measurable behaviors that supported our company's core values. These values were the core of an employee recognition program, they were woven into our performance review and development programs, and they could be cited by any employee across the organization. I thought it was one of the most impactful ways I’ve seen an organization live its values. I highly recommend the book and the practice of tying measurable behaviors to your organizational values. I reached out to Ann, to see if she’d be willing to let me interview her, and to my delight, she said yes! Ann is now the founder and PRES (which stands for Person Responsible for Extraordinary Service), for People Ink.  where she provides the inspiration and strategic direction for creating values-centric cultures for clients.
