Thursday Aug 15, 2024

Get ready for some FEEDBACK! This episode is the second one in a two-part series about the "Art of Feedback". Today is all about the "HOW" of feedback.
Our guide and coach today, Jim Urban, notes a recent study that shows only 33% of employees are actively engaged at work. We also have our Relational Experts and Coaches Steve and Rebecca here to shine a light on the importance of consistent and effective feedback in the workplace.
Listen for this moment: What if we declared a "Feedback Day" in our organizations? BUT, instead of just one day (Annual Performance Review Day) - we do feedback once a month.

Listen for this moment: The idea that positive feedback - or what some would call CARE or GRACE in speaking to someone - that is the spoonful of sugar that makes the medicine of feedback go down.

We're looking into the four generations in the workplace today: Baby Boomers, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z.
Steve Seay is guiding us through this conversation about "generations in the workplace". Along with our other Relational Experts, Jim and Rebecca, we're analyzing important questions like: How do we learn to lean into - get to know our people, our staff, our employees? How do we look at work-life balance and collaborations with all of these generations?

Efficiency and Effectiveness: Are you measuring anything besides the bottom line?
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
Thursday Jul 18, 2024
Efficiency and Effectiveness - BOTH are important! The Accelerate Leadership Group is getting "down to (real) business" in this episode that focuses on these two BIG topics.
Rebecca Gruenemeier is leading this conversation around metrics, value, and top-down decisions that truly make a difference. The team also introduces the Four Animals that represent four different personality types.
Are you pounding the pavement through tasks?
What if we defined efficiency as: "doing things right"? What if we defined effectiveness as: "doing the right things"? And Rebecca reminds us, "sometimes the right things are the hard things".

The Power of Emotional Intelligence: There's no limit to how we can grow
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
On this episode, we're going deep into EQ - Emotional Intelligence. Our guide and coach today, Jim Urban, is walking us through four core components: Self Awareness, Self-Regulation, Empathy, and Social Skills.
How can we begin to increase our awareness? Jim brings a challenge to the table that starts with a question. This question should be asked to five or ten people that you would consider to be "in your circle" - "How do you experience me? - What is it like to be on the other end of a relationship with me?"
Rebecca shines a light on a way to learn our own operation systems and what our subconscious motivators are. Steve talks about "taking the mask off" and being vulnerable. All three coaches leave us with an impactful question: As a leader, what does the lack of EQ cost us?

The 3 Spaces: You cannot outperform fulfillment
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
Thursday Jul 11, 2024
According to a recent MIT study, people are four times more likely to stay at a company based on the culture and the manager. That's huge!
What if companies started focusing on HOW THINGS TAKE PLACE within the company? When they begin to do that, they are really concentrating on three distinct areas or THREE SPACES: Transactional, Relational, and Creative.
Steve Seay is guiding us through this conversation today about these THREE SPACES. Also listen closely at the end of today's episode for details on how to get your free E-book, "Mastering the Negotiation".
The Conflict Resolution Mastery WORKSHOP is coming up: We all know that feeling when tensions rise and arguments spark but imagine turning these potentially disruptive moments into opportunities for growth and creativity.
The Conflict Resolution Mastery Workshop is here to steer you through these rough waters and equip you with practical skills to navigate conflicts confidently. The focus here is on experiential learning, with interactive sessions, live coaching, and practical exercises ensuring immediate application and understanding.
