    Resilience Is A Team Sport - You May Be Doing It Wrong | Bill Hefferman

    If you have been trying to build resilience by "toughening up" and isolating yourself, you are likely feeling more exhausted than empowered. For many in leadership, the path of personal development and the transition from climbing the corporate ladder to living in alignment with your values and purpose brings a unique kind of fatigue. We often feel we have to hide our struggles to maintain our authority, but this "lone wolf" mentality is a fast path to burnout. In this episode, resilience expert Bill Hefferman reveals why true adaptability isn't a solo sport…it is a team effort. We explore why the most resilient leaders aren't the ones who endure alone, but the ones who have the mindset to build deep connections and psychological safety with others. If you are a coach, organizational leader, or professional feeling the weight of your own 'reinvention,' this conversation offers a permission slip to stop white-knuckling your evolution. We discuss how to shift from 'powering through' to building a network of support that makes everyone stronger. Bill shares a simple, three-step process to help you navigate the messy 'neutral zone' of career transitions without losing your sense of self. We also discuss why 'collective resilience' is the missing link for teams that want to bounce back better from adversity."

    Why Waiting for Clarity is Killing Your Progress | Leadership Development | Author Jillian Reilly

    What's holding us back from discovering our true selves is usually permission...the permission we need to give ourselves to act when we don't have the answers. In this conversation on What Do You Know To Be True?, we explore why growth, meaning, and motivation are only possible when we give ourselves permission to engage with the world and with other people. If you’re asking questions like… ➡️ How do I find my purpose? ➡️ What am I capable of? ➡️ What is my potential? …this conversation offers a powerful reframe. Personal development isn’t about waiting until you have clarity or confidence. It’s about being willing to act, experiment, and learn, even when you don’t have the answers. My guest, Jillian Reilly, shares why giving yourself permission to grow is one of the most essential leadership and life skills today. Drawing from decades of work in global change, leadership development, and coaching leaders, from working on the first elections in post-Apartheid South Africa to helping people with HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe, she challenges the idea that growth happens through introspection alone. We talk about why discovering your potential is relational, not solitary. Why comfort zones keep us small. And how acting without having all the answers becomes a gateway to adaptability, creativity, resilience, and purpose in a rapidly changing world. This episode is especially relevant for coaches, leaders, org development professionals, and small business owners who help others unlock their potential and are navigating their own questions of meaning, direction, and impact. *** Don't miss another episode with amazing guests l- subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@WDYKTBT?sub_confirmation=1 *** In this episode, Jillian answers the following questions: ➡️ How do I find my purpose? ➡️ What is my potential? ➡️ What is holding me back? ➡️ How do I achieve personal growth?

And today’s guest, Janet Livingstone, helps others develop that deeper understanding of themselves.

  6. The Skill That Separates Great Coaches & Leaders From Good Ones | Coaches Rising's Joel Monk

    The Skill That Separates Great Coaches & Leaders From Good Ones | Coaches Rising's Joel Monk

    As a leader or coach, you are trained to have a plan. You drive the agenda, you solve the problem, you move the ball forward. But what if your leadership or coaching need to "drive" is actually causing you to miss the most important thing in the room? In this "What Do You Know To Be True?" conversation with Joel Monk, co-founder of Coaches Rising, we explore his superpower: "Tending to the Emergent." This isn't just about being a good listener, it is the active practice of being so present that you can sense what is trying to be created in the moment, rather than forcing what you think should happen. Whether you are coaching a client through a breakthrough or leading a team through uncertainty, the inability to be present means you are operating on old data. You are reacting to the past, rather than attending to what is emerging right now. Joel reveals how we can heal the parts of us that run from the present, allowing us to finally tune in to the hidden possibilities waiting in every conversation. If you feel like you are working hard but missing the "magic" in your interactions, this conversation will invite you to stop forcing outcomes and start tending to the emergent. In this conversation, Joel shares how leadership presence, awareness, and tending to what’s emerging can unlock deeper impact in coaching and leadership conversations. As a demonstration of Joel’s curiosity and his superpower of tending to the emergent, Joel gets me to share some key things from hosting the What Do You Know To Be True? podcast about how we discover our superpowers, unlock our potential, and make meaningful impact in our communities: ➡️the common themes of people using their superpowers ➡️the path that 9/10 times guests develop their superpowers ➡️the building blocks of potential In this episode, Joel answers the following questions: ➡️How to be more aware of what's possible? ➡️How to be more emotionally present? ➡️Why do I struggle to be present? ➡️How to be more mindful?   Resources mentioned in the episode: ➡️Joel’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joel-monk-33952613/ ➡️Coaches Rising: https://www.coachesrising.com/ Music in this episode by Ian Kastner.

    Stop Hiding Your Truth | What's Possible When You Speak Up | Dr. Lalith Wijedoru

    In this conversation, Dr. Lalith Wijedoru talks about discovering his superpower by speaking his uncomfortable truths through storytelling, which allowed him to unlock his potential and possibilities for creating space for others to share their stories.  And while speaking one’s uncomfortable truths has its perils, Lalith makes meaningful impact in the organizations and communities he’s involved with, because that is how others heal, grow, and deepen relationships, it’s also how he continues to grow and create deeper social connections. Lalith discovered his superpower by speaking his own uncomfortable truths, so he’s very aware of what is required and what may happen when one shares their uncomfortable truths. In the conversation, Lalith goes on to share… ➡️ What it takes to tell an uncomfortable truth ➡️ What resistance to expect when telling an uncomfortable truth ➡️ Why the rewards of telling your comfortable truth are better than staying silent Lalith’s first career was as Dr. Wijedoru, an emergency department pediatric doctor, because he wanted to provide the care and safeguarding of children that he did not receive as a child. Now he’s in his second career as a well-being consultant, a storyteller, and founder of Behind Your Mask, an organization that creates the spaces and skills for speaking uncomfortable truths through storytelling. In this episode, Lalith answers the following questions: ➡️ What are uncomfortable truths? ➡️ How to tell someone an uncomfortable truth? ➡️ How to speak your truth? ➡️ How to tell stories about your past? My favorite quote from the episode: “Truth can disrupt and truth can destroy, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.” When not telling an uncomfortable truth protects something that causes and prolongs harm, it’s not worth protecting. In many relationships and families there are unspoken truths where we’ve been told it’s safer not tell the truth. In terms of actual healing, that’s b******t. It only amplifies and prolongs the hurt.

  8. The High Cost of Being a Super-Connector (And How to Fix It) | Suzanne Weller

    The High Cost of Being a Super-Connector (And How to Fix It) | Suzanne Weller

    You love people. You love connecting them. But lately, your "superpower" of community building feels more like a drain than a gift. You not wanting to hide; you are a "Super-Connector" who has run out of burners on the stove. In this episode, Suzanne Weller, an unapologetic extrovert and master connector and community builder, reveals the surprising truth about connection burnout. It’s not about doing less; it’s about the "Inventory of Honesty." It's about energy management. It's about having the mindset to grow your personal development does not require over-extending yourself and not setting boundaries. We discuss why high performers often over-give to their communities, and how to tell the difference between a "generative" space that fuels you and a "draining" one that depletes you. If you feel like you're constantly holding space for others but have nothing left for yourself, this conversation offers a new framework. Learn how to treat your Time, Energy, and Attention as finite resources, and why saying "no" to some connections is the only way to say an authentic "yes" to the communities that matter. For Suzanne Weller, there’s something she’s learned to be even more important than reading other people which has helped her grow her superpower and her impact. As a leadership coach, a public speaker, a storyteller, a founder of her own consulting firm, and host of The Courage Effect podcast, she has a lot of experience being able to read people and rooms. But that is not the most valuable skill she’s learned as a connector and a community builder. In this episode, Suzanne answers the following questions: ➡️How do I become a connector? ➡️What makes someone a good connector? ➡️How do I build a community? ➡️How to build community when you feel isolated? My favorite quote from the episode: “It’s the trade-off idea. If you say ‘no,’ then you get to say ‘yes’ to something else. And if I say ‘yes’ to this, I have to say ‘no’ to something else.”  Suzanne is speaking to the need to find a balance in commitments and agreements, and how easy it is as an extrovert, a connector, and a community-builder to over-extend oneself. Even if it’s a superpower, operating out of balance is the fast lane to burnout.
