Today I'm talking about asking for help.
Our lives are a portfolio of S-curves. We have periods of starting, learning, and mastery. Whitney Johnson joins Kevin to talk about the S-curve of Learning to measure growth; personally, professionally, and organizationally. It is hard to start something new because growth is hard. By keeping rituals (or known things), we can create calm and stability in our brains to allow for more growth.

If I asked you what your first thought is when I say the word “conflict”, chances are it wouldn’t be positive.
And while there is certainly a downside to conflict, the truth is conflict isn’t always bad. In fact, there are many times when conflict can be a good thing. And in this episode, I’ll explain exactly this.
Empathy is something we all look for in other people. We would love for people to have more empathy for us. And when we’re willing to and take the time to be empathetic with others, we gain almost as much as they do. I’m speaking about empathy in general, but I’m also speaking about it specifically as a leader. Because now more than ever, as a leader, being more empathetic is one of the great ways for us to be more effective as a leader.
And so while there is lots written and stated (much by me even!), today I’m not going to talk about skill as much as the practice of being empathetic. And specifically the five L’s that you can use to help you create a practice of empathy.

In this episode, we’re talking about making room for conversation and I’m using a cup metaphor to illustrate some important points.
As humans, we all have a mental and emotional cup. And like a cup of tea or a cup of coffee, if it’s completely full, there is no room for anything else. Literally.
This cup metaphor applies to communication and conversation as well. If you are attempting to converse with someone and their cup is full, there’s not room for a new conversation with you. You’ve probably been in conversations where this is the case. And if you have, you find that you’re talking to someone who isn’t very engaged.
So when this happens, the only way to engage and create real dialogue is by helping the other person make room for the conversation.
Employee engagement: we know that when engagement goes up, performance often follows. So, why is this so important, and how do you grow and sustain it? Brian Hartzer shares that when we get the best people who are emotionally committed to the goals and purpose of the organization, they will positively impact the bottom line. As a leader, you need to provide clarity, get rid of barriers, and create a culture of appreciation.
