#4: Why True Leaders are Able to Bridge to HOW WE COULD 24:54

3 years тому24:54

24:54

I have become more and more fascinated with this idea of being a bridge as a leader. The bridge can first be taken personally when you are asked to evolve or step up in your career. The bridge can be in moments when you are able to take the energy away from whey we can't and get it refocused on how we could. Many times the bridge can be where you act as a connector between two mindsets to bring compassion to either side that may be judging the other and not helping. In your career, you will face many of these bridge moments. Some will feel like you are actually crossing a milestone or a physical bridge into a new identity. Most others, will involve you bridge-building in the moment with your teams, in meetings or in one-on-one conversations. I really think you're going to love this one and I'd love to hear the places you are seeing these 'being a bridge' moments coming up and how you are taking them or avoiding them. Awareness is 90% of the battle with this one. WANT TO MASTER THE CORE TOOLS AND IDEAS TO DITCH THE DRAMA AT WORK AND COACH YOUR TEAMS TO GREATNESS EACH DAY?

This is the fastest way to start transforming your teams in less than 10 minutes. So, if you are someone who is: Going through that transition of being a doer to more of a leader Often feeling like you are seeing more opportunities for kindness and benefit of the doubt at work Trying to be more helpful than judgmental each day Hoping to manage energy better when teams are getting into negativity or why we can't Then this is the podcast for you! And also, be sure to pass this along to your teams to be able to discuss. Here's the blog that inspired today's podcast below: Title: The Bridge There is a nudge in everyone's career where you can do what I call: - Take the bridge - Avoid the bridge or - Choose to become the bridge Avoiding the bridge means you stay where you are. You skip the personal evolution opportunities in your career often times fueling drama and sticking with those that find "joy" by being disengaged at work. It becomes the all-too-common 'us vs. them' situation. 'Us' ends up being people that think like you and 'them' being the decision-makers that just don't consult you in the organization you work for. You bond with this group on one side of the bridge. Across the bridge is a group that has chosen a different approach. They are all-in committed to the company they work for. This group is trying to make a difference each day with the resources they have even in spite of challenging circumstances. This side of the bridge is where visionaries get together and talk about what we are trying to create for those they serve through their organization and how they can get there. Each side of the bridge actually feels like indigestion to the other side. The same discussions, energy and work environment aren't preferred by these two groups. So the question becomes - which side leads to more happiness and results in the long term? This is a personal choice for all of us. My invitation is to choose wisely. Then, there is a select group that has the power to act as a bridge themselves. This is the magic of a true Reality-Based leader. They can seemingly live with a foot on both sides at the same time if needed, without judgment of either side. This person is a mindset-shifter and energy manager. One that can act as a bridge doesn't people-please to fit in on either side. They understand that, as a bridge, they exist to gently ensure our visionary, high-accountables in our organization don't get righteous and judgmental of the other side. Simultaneously, they offer those on the side of the bridge choosing disengagement and halted evolution plenty of calls to greatness and invitations to consider a mindset 'how we could' given the circumstances we may be facing. Many are unaware that 'the bridge' exists as a role to play and a valuable one at that. It's easier to pick a side and represent it and disconnect from the other. "I'm the highly accountable one, they're not" or "Look at those over-achievers over there." Many stuck in disengagement and resistance will not take the bridge to the other side. Whether it is fear of losing an identity or the camaraderie they've built with similar mindsets on that side. The lesson for all of us is you can only work with the willing. So notice which side of the bridge you are consistently on at the moment. Is disengagement in your current work situation calling you to consider testing the other side - even for a small period of time? And for those of you who've been on this journey with me for a while that are now all-in and highly-accountable, practicing drama diffusing and energy management each day - it is time to step into the role of the bridge. Wholeheartedly. We could all use more bridges out there. -Alex 🚪 I'd love to continue the discussion, hear your responses to the content or read/listen to how you build on these ideas on any of the platforms below: Twitter Instagram Facebook TikTok If you'd love for me to speak virtually or in-person at your next event you can check out my Speaker's Page to hire me.

#3: Refocus and Move Past Mental Drama With This Quick Tip 11:40

3 years тому11:40

Ever find yourself with so much on your mind that you want to accomplish that you are almost frozen? I find myself often getting ahead of myself thinking about what amazing things are coming or can come in the future and missing the reality that each moment I spend 'ahead of myself' I am taking no action in the moment. In this episode, I share this realization and how it has opened me up to not violently coming back to focus when this pattern occurs, but to instead gently notice that I am off-track, acknowledge it and then return back to, "what is the very next thing I could do to help?" This noticing and return is so powerful to stop getting so far ahead of myself. This realization is what this blog and podcast is all about.

Below is the blog that inspired this podcast that originally came out on my bi-weekly newsletter. If you haven't signed up to read the Workplace Portal newsletter - be sure to do so now: info.realitybasedleadership.com/portal BLOG: Getting ahead of yourself When you get ahead of yourself, you get behind in your work. They move in opposite directions. When you get ahead of yourself, you lose sight of what is right in front of you - the relationships, the opportunities, the movement that needs to happen to have a chance at arriving where you are looking ahead to. When you get ahead of yourself, you turn away from the next step on your journey even though it is right there in the corner of your eye. Smiling at you. Knowing you are avoiding it. Liking that you are avoiding it. Just glance at where you think you want to be from time to time - but don't get attached to it. That life isn't moving - it's there if it is supposed to be there. Just take a deep breath, turn your head and make eye contact with that very next step that is smirking at you - seeing if you'll miss it yet again by getting too far ahead of yourself. Go up to it and take a baby step, a small stride or a huge leap of action with it. But let's never again ignore that 'next step to add impact' for the sake of getting ahead of yourself. -Alex🚪 I'd love to continue the discussion, hear your responses to the content or read/listen to how you build on these ideas on any of the platforms below: Twitter Instagram Facebook TikTok If you'd love for me to speak virtually or in-person at your next event you can check out my Speaker's Page to hire me.

In this episode, I dive into the importance of steadiness as a skill to be developed.

This episode allows you to reflect on your own steadiness along with 2 more areas where we can evolve ourselves to the next level, and most importantly, to be happier at work. This has been an idea I've been chewing on for awhile and can't wait to have you listen in and join the conversation.

What can I do for my team to stay consistently energized? What great reflective exercises can I share with my team to improve performance and get better results? How to continue to evolve my leadership to be happy and successful regardless of challenging circumstances? How to identify the most 'willing' people on my team to buy-in and continue to develop them? Then this will be a great podcast for you! For those that haven't listened to the updated podcast yet. The new format is to read a blog that has been previously released on my Workplace Portal Newsletter that comes out every other Wednesday (get signed up to receive that here!) and after reading, I add a few stories, the inspiration behind the blog, why it was on my mind and/or why I think it can help you continue to move beyond drama in your career. Below is the full blog in it's entirety in case you want to share it: Title: Willing, Able and Steady Three massive pieces to a successful and happy career. Are you willing? You cannot work with the unwilling AND you cannot make great impact in the world with half-hearted willingness. Most people put spend enormous amounts of energy either focused on the most unwilling or showing up each day with low willingness to do what it takes at work. They spend hours trying to bargain, beg, and plead for their unwilling folks to finally get on board. Or, they show up to work every day collecting a paycheck, but their mind is somewhere else. Gallup tells us that nearly 70% of the American workforce quits their jobs every single day. The problem is they keep coming to work and collecting a paycheck. This is active or passive disengagement from the work they do and essentially, underlying unwillingness to buy-in each day. So notice this idea of willingness - yours and others - and spend as little energy as possible working with unwillingness. Are you able? If you find your workplace experience shifting to the point where you feel you are "unable" to do your job at a high level - stop ignoring that feeling. Notice it. That is a gift. It is shining light on your next growth opportunities. If emerging tech or new software, for example, is swallowing up the way your job was done in the past, don't continue to resist and hunker down until the transition passes. Remember you have the ability to continuously evolve. Look at the last thing you learned - a new recipe, a new skill within your favorite hobby, or how to assemble something you bought online through a YouTube tutorial. You have an endless ability to learn and absorb, but many don't generalize that skillset of learning to adapt to less-than-preferred newness (aka change) at work. Realize you are able , but you haven't applied it to this new situation yet. Step into the learning in front of you, take the training or learn the new skill with this shifted perspective. Too many continue to skip the necessary growth needed in any profession yet continue trying to do their job without modernizing their skillsets and live in fear and defense each day to not be "found out" that they are 'unable' to deliver what's needed in their new reality. No happiness flourishes there. Are you steady? Have you ever had that team member that quickly responds with, "I'll add that to my list." and you come to find out, a few weeks later, that the 'list' they referenced often disappears and no action is taken? One day this person is a rockstar, gets it done at all cost, and succeeds in spite of the facts, and the next day, you can barely recognize their work. Maybe we've all had moments in our careers personally when this was the case. This is all about steadiness and being steady is highly underrated. Can you consistently show up to work in 'high-self' and bring energy to move us forward? Or is your energy or effort highly dependent on external circumstances in your life? Two people can be in very similar challenging circumstances and, based on their mindset, one stays steady while the other can no longer be relied on to continue executing their role. Steadiness is tied to our accountability levels given the circumstances, but isn't dependant on our circumstances. Pause and reflect. In this moment of your career: - Are you consistently willing (whole-heartedly bought-in each day)? - Are you able (updating my skillset as needed)? and, most importantly... - Are you steady (in my accountability level regardless of my circumstances)? If not, you know what to do. You always have. Go be great. -Alex 🚪 If you are looking for a few quick tips on ensuring: You are adding value each and every day at work Moving from being a box-checker or someone that simply completes tasks into the next level of your career Continuing to evolve your understanding of working beyond ego in the workplace This is a great podcast for you.

Many people find energy in checking the boxes each day and getting a ton of tasks done on their list. I admit myself that this feels great. However, many don't take a step back to see if all of those boxes they are checking are truly adding value and moving along the higher-value work that would move things forward at a grander scale.

Below is the full blog in it's entirety in case you want to share it: Title: Why checking the boxes doesn't add value It can be amazing to be surrounded by people that take a list and check off the boxes. The email you ask them to send, the tasks you ask them to complete, the forms you ask them to fill out or the responses to customers that you need done. The problem becomes when creating a list of boxes for them to check each day becomes another part of your list. It's always reactive, not proactive. Simply checking boxes starts to add very little value. In fact, it may be time to question if it ever does in the modern workplace? Plenty of team members can send the “check-in” email to the potential sales lead, but if the lead doesn’t get back to them? Oh well, I checked the box and reached out just like you asked me to. But the goal wasn’t to check the box, it was to make the sale. Or at the very least, ACTUALLY connect with the customer to get a ‘yes’ or ‘no’. If you’ve whittled your job down to whether or not you checked the boxes today, I can almost assure you that you’re not adding all that much value. That’s fine for now I suppose, but long-term? We’ll see. “Check the box” if you read this, but if you’re hoping to add value? You may want to do some reflection and absorb it. As always, it’s up to you. -Alex 🚪 If you are looking for a few quick tips on ensuring: You are adding value each and every day at work Moving from being a box-checker or someone that simply completes tasks into the next level of your career Continuing to evolve your understanding of working beyond ego in the workplace This is a great podcast for you.

Building Your Personal Brand WITHIN Your Workplace 39:42

We've heard endless YouTube videos about building your personal brand so you can LEAVE your job and start your own business, but what about building a personal brand WITHIN our job because we love what we do. This episode will give you four ideas to build your personal brand with your colleagues and customers from the lens of being a low-drama, high-value player at work. Much of your personal brand is how you appear to others on the outside, but the paradox is almost all of this is influenced by what you are doing on the inside with your inner work and reflection. As someone committed to finding any way I can to move beyond drama that causes interferences in my life. I've found that there are some counter-intuitive ways that you can evolve yourself that then greatly affects your own personal brand within the workplace and your colleagues. In this episode, you will walk away with actionable strategies and mindset shifts to grow your personal brand through the lens of carving away drama. In doing so you will grow your influence, continue to be authentic at work and open up professional opportunities you can't imagine. The main ideas we cover to make this happen are: Be the most open to feedback and growth in the room Check and understand your Drama Quotient often ( Here is the self-assessment PDF for you to calculate the true value you add at work that I mention) Be a "how we coulder" not a "why we can'ter" Pride yourself on the intention of being the most neutral and clearest in the room, not the smartest Hope you enjoyed this episode as I was able to cover a topic that I don't usually get to go into much detail on during my keynotes and trainings.

When Extreme Ownership Goes Wrong 31:20

Your level of accountability is most correlated to your results and happiness in life. Many that interact with learn this information and take-off with this idea and really start to live out the four factors of accountability in their lives and start to feel different results pretty quickly. However, many run into a similar experience I did where they start to over-reach when it comes to accountability and start taking extreme ownership for their results and noticing some struggles. In these moments you can start to believe that you can control the outcome of all events that you are involved in and your energy from this mindset can really affect those around you and cause you to wear out. In this journey of focusing on accountability and the four factors and mental process that cultivate it, I've discovered an important counter-balance that helps to optimize and round-out living a more fulfilled life. This mix between high-levels of accountability with a consistent practice of self-reflection or inquiry on the stressful thoughts that cause us to overdo accountability is the sweet spot. Contentment and endless energy comes from this sweetspot and in this episode I walk through my thoughts on this balance I focus on daily. This ebb and flow of diving all-in to living out the factors of accountability with an eye for additional self-reflection through inquiry on untrue and stressful thoughts is something big if you are in to your own growth and learning. I am on this journey as well and playing around with it. Hope you liked this one as well and cannot wait to hear your thoughts! Let's keep ditching the drama. Alex Here is a video to learn the 4 Factors of Accountability and how to live in this mindset more often at work. This leads to more happiness and results!

It was a heck of a ride jumping from around 40 speaking engagements in 2018 to 85 sessions in 2019. I'm beyond grateful and, as I reflect back, I have learned so much. I have summarized all of these lessons and packaged them up for you in this podcast episode. As you go from city to city and interact with various clients from all of the industries we get to touch - you start to see patterns or themes emerge. These themes become very interesting and, in my free, time I sit in self-reflection around these ideas. In this episode you will learn more about the themes that I've noticed through 2019. I cover: Why opinions no longer add value - expertise does The secret of "unwillingness" and why it is missed by leaders Quit asking for benefits on the promise of results. Deliver results and then benefits follow. Many are confusing MACRO challenges for what they can impact individually on the MICRO Patience in 2018 and patience in 2019 A NOTE TO YOU :) I wanted to take a moment to thank you, the listener, for all of your incredible support and inspiration for the podcast.

Why You HAVE to Play Favorites at Work 40:01

5 years тому40:01

A conventional leadership wisdom out there is that you CANNOT play favorites at work. However, did you know that the same leadership will not please a high-accountable mindset and low-accountable at the same time? This creates an interesting consideration we go into on this podcast. Many organizations haven't come around to the fact that they have some employees that default to a lower state-of-accountability each day. This is more of a victim-mindset where they believe that most of their mistakes or issues are not their fault and they cannot have much of an impact. However, in the same organization and same circumstances, there is another group of high-accountables that are successful and happy in the same situation. Both of these groups also have completely different lists of behaviors, conversations and standards of excellence they like to work in. High-accountables get nervous when change is NOT happening and low-accountables get anxious when change IS happening. High-accountables are aware the the world is always shifting and customer demands are always changing so, of course, they see that the business should be too. Low-accountables seem to want to keep things the same even though it may hurt the experience for our customers, patients or those we serve in the marketplace. I go through many examples and ideas of this "playing favorites" in this podcast. I also discuss why you actually HAVE to differentiate (for the right reasons) to be an effective leader and I give you some of our best tools to do so. So if you are someone wondering: - How to lead better - Can I play favorites at work? - Best leadership tips to reward my top performers - What tips to manage accounability Then this is a great episode for you. Also, here is a front-row seat to one of my latest keynotes if you want to see me in action. I'd love to be on the list if you are ever looking for speakers for your organization in the future.

Don't Confuse High Performers with High Accountables 34:27

5 years тому34:27

34:27

One common confusion with leadership and our philosophy is that people miss that high performance does not necessarily correlate with your highest accountable employees. This podcast clarifies and explains why this is so important to understand. For years organizations have focused diligently on measuring performance and when many hear our work they say, "Of course! We just need to keep spending all of our leadership capacity on our highest performers and get rid of low performers." While some of this is true in theory, one of the challenges is that performance can be such a skewed metric. The key indicator that actually drives great performance, low drama and high engagement is the level of personal accountability one has. Helping to cultivate teams that live and operate in a high state-of-accountability in their mindsets is the true indicator of future results and engagement. These are people that commit to projects without conditions, are highly resilient, honest in their ownership of results good or bad and continuous learners. This is a subtle correction that many miss in our philosophy that is a big breakthrough once leaders understand that high performance isn't always correlated to high accountability. I think this will have some interesting and practical takeaways for you as well as a mindset shift moving forward. I mentioned a link to the Employee Value Equation if you are interested in learning more about where drama comes in to the value we add at work that goes beyond just measuring performance. Also, here is a front-row seat to one of my latest keynotes if you want to see me in action. I'd love to be on the list if you are ever looking for speakers for your organization in the future.
