Jean Oelwang spent years working with some of the most successful partnerships. Their technical skills or expertise were not their most important trait. She tells Kevin they all had the superpower to forge deep connections, to truly partner to make themselves better. Her research found six degrees of connection common to the most significant partnerships of any type: business associations, romantic partners, friends, and family.

Communication. So important in our lives, both professionally and personally. So complex, not only with all the platforms on which communication is possible but even more so as we are doing more “remote” communication. Katie McCleary shares with Kevin that we need to show up with the intent to listen. We need to move past asking “why are you doing this” to “tell me about how you are doing this”. We can’t force collaboration, so to keep moving forward we need to get curious.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious? It’s no wonder since we have 50,000+ thoughts each day, many of which are repetitive and not helpful. That’s a lot of mind power to use with minimal results. Jody Michael tells Kevin that the average leader spends 80% of their time in a negative emotional state. This minimizes decision-making abilities and results in lower productivity. Jody shares 5 muscles of mental fitness which will help you increase your emotional intelligence, build better relationships and thrive instead of survive. This episode was recording during our Mental Fitness Day, a Virtual LeaderCon event in April 2022.

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.
In this episode, I'm talking about creating milestones.
For centuries, people have wanted to find the fountain of youth. People traveled for months on ships to try to find this mythical fountain of youth, because we’d all like to be younger, right?
What about wisdom? I think we’d all like to be wise, and the good news is we can find the source of wisdom without a long trip and it’s not mythical.
The idea for this episode came from my pastor, Aaron Brockett, at the Trader’s Point Christian Church. But this isn’t really a religious idea at all. You see, we all want (more) wisdom regardless of our beliefs. But the question is, where does it come from? In this episode, we’ll explore some possible sources of wisdom to determine what the true source is.
Having a purpose is not the same as a purpose statement. Purpose is an ideal. It is the reason you choose to exist. Professionally, it is why you go to work. Is it a job(money)? Is it a career (get ahead)? Is it a calling (gives you meaning)? Ranjay Gulati joins Kevin to discuss deep purpose at work. He believes it is the foundation for the organization and defines the work experience, including culture. When your organization believes in something, you move your team from not just satisfied or engaged to inspired. An inspired team does the work because they want to.

In this episode Kevin Eikenberry discusses how your viewpoint determines your outlook and how we usually operate from a worm's eye view or a bird's eye view. He also mentions how you can incorporate viewpoint language into your organization or team.

Think goal first. That seems like pretty solid advice. And it seems like something that is easy to do. And yet…we don’t always do that.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a short story from my own personal work that highlights the importance of remembering to think goal first and keep adjusting routines to stay in alignment with the goal.
Fewer than 15% of larger organizations reinvented their work because of the pandemic. They learned they could get by and did the same "work" remotely. Keith Ferrazzi joins Kevin to discuss his research looking at the innovations that emerged during the pandemic. Leaders need to understand the risks and opportunities that need attention today to stay competitive.
Today I'm talking about conflict and how I want you to stop managing conflict.

Calendars are important and we all likely use them. So what’s the purpose of our calendar?
Maybe it keeps you on track and on time. Maybe it keeps you from forgetting important events. Maybe it keeps you focused.
Your calendar likely does all of this and more. And in this episode, I’m asking seven powerful questions that you need to answer to see if your calendar is serving you as well as it should.
Apple, Amazon, Nike, and Coca-Cola are just a few brands we recognize. However, have you thought of yourself as a brand? Perhaps, if you are a coach or business owner. Mike Kim suggests that your brand is simply what people say about you when you aren’t in the room. He joins Kevin to discuss how you become the brand, regardless of your role. Be intentional with who you are and dare to put yourself out there.

Today I'm talking about the leader's role in conflict. Here are some questions to ask yourself when there's conflict in your organization:
- Start with questions, not actions - Is it workplace conflict?
- Set an expectation
- Do some coaching
- Check in on progress
- Stay out longer What are you teaching your team?

In this episode of Remarkable TV, I’m sharing tips for giving better instructions. And to do that, we’re using the game of Monopoly to help us.
So Monopoly. Chances are, if you’ve played Monopoly, you either love it or you hate it.
And if you’ve played it, you know that there are a lot of rules in the game. About seven pages of rules to be exact.
Have you ever taught someone how to play? Now if we go through all of these rules before we start playing, it will not likely go so well. They will zone out, miss half of them or forget most of them by the time they get to a scenario that uses each rule.
However, when you start with the end in mind, you will be more successful…
