How do you respond when someone “jokes” in an inappropriate way? 10:07

24h ago10:07

10:07

This might be a hot button topic. In the time between when we recorded this and posting it, I had a situation where I did call someone out. Not for an inappropriate joke exactly but for using a slur to “jokingly” insult someone. Frank Galindo, Paula Jenkins and Dr Cole Galloway had this really tough conversation with me. Listening back to it, I wis…

Is the pressure to “act like a man” a real thing and where does it come from? 10:03

2d ago10:03

10:03

This was a tough conversation. I’m very thankful these three guys were brave enough to have it on the record with me. The one thing they all agreed on is that there is certainly societal pressure to “act like a man.” But Brandon Mahoney pointed out that there is also this idea of “toxic masculinity” to be avoided. (Which makes me wonder if the mess…

When is venting productive and how do you tell when it becomes a negative spiral? 10:01

3d ago10:01

10:01

There have been some studies that have suggested that venting – the idea of releasing emotion by talking about something – is a fallacy. In my experience I have certainly seen people wind themselves up as well as get the emotion out by talking through something. I wondered how other people thought about venting so I asked Bonnie Versace, Steward Wi…

How do you overcome self-doubt? 10:01

10:01

Self-doubt can be a significant obstacle in personal and professional growth, but overcoming it can lead to great success. In this conversation, we discussed how we have worked through or around self-doubt. The turning point is when we realize that we are in control and can overcome obstacles. Jim Tam suggested that self-doubt might come from setti…

This conversation started off a bit rocky when Tim Hawkes said, “You're not going to need 10 minutes for this one, Robyn. You know your subjects, I've got this one nailed right easy, is everything nice and simple. Fear is short, worry as long there you go.” But is it really that simple? Brandon Mahoney agreed adding that fear is knowing what is goi…

What does “having a community” mean to you? How did you find yours? 10:00

10:00

I have always been interested in how communities are created and how to find those that really fit me. I have been part of groups where I didn’t really fit in that well and there have been others where I felt accepted and my skills were used to their fullest without me feeling like I was being taken advantage of. I wondered what being part of a com…

Why do different teams within the same organization have wildly different cultures? 9:59

9d ago9:59

9:59

This is a question that HR professionals talk about over cocktails at conferences. If culture is a top down thing, how can teams that have the same top leadership have such different team cultures? Diane Helbig suggested that cultural change might be top down but mostly culture starts at the bottom. The people who are in the room together everyday …

What makes something wrong? 10:04

10:04

We explored how something being wrong is shaped by various factors: upbringing, cultural norms, personal beliefs, bias and experiences. Ethics certainly plays a role in decision-making and can highlight the importance of making the right choice, even if it may not always be easy or clear-cut. Is there such a thing as a victimless crime? We took a n…

Why does being unique sometimes allow us to stand out in a positive way and other times make us weird? 9:58

Dr Cole Galloway started us off by calling all the weirdos in the world to unite and that he feels like it is about fit more than anything else. Kierra Caissey added that all of those words, unique, positive and weird are judgment words and bonus points to her for being able to bring in the reference to the Island of misfit toys from Rudolph the Re…

Does too much empathy in the workplace kill accountability? 10:04

Justin Dorsey started this conversation off right by sharing a personal story about a boss who was both empathic (I understand you are going through some stuff) and was able to balance it with just the right amount of accountability (and we need you things from you as far as your position here at work). Then Kierra Caissey stunned us with a hard-hi…

What is accountability? 10:05

10:05

This conversation started off really slowly – in fact I deleted a chunk of it to get to the good stuff. The first simple answer was – willingness to take responsibility. But when I asked the question, “What causes a lack of accountability?” Then we were off to the races. Towards the middle of the conversation, I felt like we had two working definit…

Does learning a valuable lesson through suffering make it worth it? 9:56

16d ago9:56

9:56

When we go through a tough time in life it’s hard to see what the point is supposed to be. But once we get to the other side of it there is often a lesson or a takeaway from it that we use for the rest of our lives. But does that lesson make the suffering feel like it was worth it? Brandon Mahoney’s first take was that no, the suffering wasn’t wort…

Is it a breach of confidentiality to give out a client’s name as a reference, even if they’ve given you permission? 10:05

10:05

I don’t think references are particularly useful to begin with. As I shared during this conversation, I had a situation where I got glowing references for someone and he was a crook. So I’m unclear why they are even a thing (that includes for getting into grad school and the like). But I wondered if other people had the same ideas and what they say…

These three gentlemen were a great panel to have this discussion. Simon Coles is a CEO and founder of a foundation. Ed Samuel is a Career Coach and Jim Tam is a Principal Client Director. At the start of the conversation it seemed that all three of them agreed that quiet quitting has been around for a long time, it just has a label now and that, fo…

Oh man was this a challenging conversation! I went into it thinking that as long as you weren’t hurting anyone, everything is pretty much fine. Then Michael Davis brought up the idea of self defense (you know how widely laws in the US vary on that topic) and I had to rethink my entire criteria. Christina Kelly asked a great question.

If someone doesn’t find a joke funny, do you assume they have a lousy sense of humor or that the joke was flawed? 10:03

(Trigger warning – there is a mention of suicide when a standup comedian’s bit is quoted in this conversation.) Humor is a touchy subject. What makes something funny or not funny? Is it okay to tell off-color jokes as long as you “know your audience” and everyone who happens to be in the room thinks it’s funny (I don’t think so). Ed Samuel started …

In one of his first podcast conversations since being in the ICU Mario P Fields started us off by sharing how having a life threatening situation changed his view on productivity. There were days when just being able to stand on his own for ten seconds made him feel both happy and productive. Lisa McDonald says that it is very situational for her. …

Humans are designed to be able to learn through observation. Dr Bob Choat shared that the part of the brain that engages in prediction – what will or won’t work is called the ventral striatum. That is what allows us to not have to make all the mistakes ourselves - - IF we pay attention and apply what we learn. That can be a big IF. Chandima Dutton …

What is the difference between hearing and listening? 9:57

30d ago9:57

9:57

The really simple answer is that hearing is the physical ability for the ear to detect sound waves and send them to the brain. Listening is the brain interpreting those sounds into meaning. But in language we don’t use hearing and listening with that strong delineation. When someone says, “You aren’t listening to me!” What we usually mean, “You are…

The phrase, “You make me…” is so common when emotions enter a conversation that I have actually talked about it as a trigger point when I teach communication and productive conflict.

When thinking about smooth talkers it’s an easy jump to think politics. People who say lots of words, sound like they know what they are talking about, but make you feel lost. What are they talking about? Do those words actually mean anything when you string them together? But someone who is a complex thinker who has a lot of knowledge on a given s…

In order to have good judgement you have to think about something and make a decision or judgement about it. What is your opinion? What do you think? What choices do you want to make based on your interpretation of that information? All of that is internal to you. It is about you and what you want. Conversely, being judgmental is about deciding tha…
