In January 2014, I recorded the very first episode of Remarkable TV. And the episode below is our 365th episode – we haven’t missed a week since we started! That’s like recording and releasing a video every single day for year.

And while that first video doesn’t look so great now (watch it here) – the sound quality wasn’t great, the picture was a bit fuzzy, I might have rambled a little – I know that the continual practice we have done in recording each week since then has helped us to significantly improve.

Zig Ziglar said: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly – until you can learn to do it well.

So in today’s episode, I’m sharing four lessons from our 365 RTV episodes.

The Case for Continual Practice – Remarkable TV

Are you one of the 20 million to download the Netflix Culture deck? Whether you did or just looked it up now, you will recognize that Netflix operates at the edge of chaos, or so it seems. Yet, they have been able to re-invent themselves as the environment has shifted and created a company of innovators. Erin Meyer is the co-author of No Rules Rules Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention with Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings. She joins Kevin to talk not only about culture but building a culture of freedom. Netflix encourages all employees to make decisions based on the context and direction of the company. This can only happen with strong leadership, foundational principles, and the right employees. Although Erin uses Netflix as the example, there are lessons and principles which can apply to your organization and your team.

In January, our newest book came out – The Long-Distance Teammate. When we were researching and writing this book, there was one key word that continued to stand out and be seen as a key measure of how to be successful as a remote teammate.

That word was…

Proactivity

In this episode, I’m sharing 4 specific ways that you can be more proactive in your remote work.

Change is the only constant in life (Heraclitus). If you don’t see, are you paying attention? And if you aren’t changing, well, that is something different. Stacy Henry is the author of Get Rooted! Growing People and Companies Through Change and joins Kevin to discuss change and values. We don’t always get to choose the change (hello pandemic), yet we get to choose our actions and reactions. The way we respond is based on our values. Often, we hold on tight, even though we don’t like the current state, because it is known. It requires us to think differently and move through the change.

In this episode, I’m talking about The Epidemic of Loneliness and what we can do about it.

Before the pandemic, there was already an epidemic of loneliness. And while we know that the pandemic will eventually subside, the epidemic may not… In fact, loneliness is becoming a larger and more important issue as more and more employees and organizations go virtual.

So if you’re feeling lonely or as though something just isn’t right, here are a few strategies that I hope will help ease this pain.

And a small word of caution before you listen to this episode: I am not a doctor. If you have serious concerns for yourself clinically, please see someone. And while you can’t diagnose a friend or colleague, know that my advice here can only go so far.

From This Episode:

• In our newest book, The Long-Distance Teammate, Kevin has created a practical handbook to help remote team members become more effective, connected and engaged while working remotely. Learn more and order a copy (or more) here.

Do you ever feel like you are putting in the effort yet fall short of expectations? Does your team ever feel that way? So, what can you do? Richard Lee suggests it doesn’t need to be complicated. We just need the right mindset tied to the skillset. Richard is the author of WORK THAT COUNTS: Breaking Down the Barriers to Extraordinary Results. Kevin and Richard discuss three mindsets that create an impact within your organization. These include empowered relationships, align to do the right thing, and collaborate in and across teams. For this to work, both the team leader and team member must work on their relationship and remember it is unique and dynamic. Further, you need to look outside your immediate team and consider the whole to achieve goals.

Good things happen when we are thankful.

We feel better.

We are less stressed.

We are healthier.

These are just a few benefits but it’s obvious that being thankful for anything or to anyone in our lives is a good thing.

In this episode, I am specifically suggesting you thank your teammates for four very important reasons.

Why do existing organizations with resources find themselves irrelevant (or no longer in existence), whether through new technology, changes in demographics, competition? Chances are they did not plan for the disruption, which can come from any direction or place, especially where we least expect it. Sameer Hasija is co-author of The Phoenix Encounter Method: Lead Like Your Business Is On Fire. Just like the mythical phoenix that is born again from the ashes, this method requires you to think of your business truly being disrupted (burning to the ground) so you can build it again. Shifting your mindset to create a burning platform, allows you to build a playbook to defend against the attacks (in whatever form they take). This is an on-going process and can take your organization to the next level.
