On today’s episode I had a chance to connect with my friend, colleague, and teammate Andrew Deutscher. Andrew works with me and our team. He’s an expert in individual and team performance, well-being, and productivity. He’s an author, keynote speaker, and just an overall great human being. On the show we discuss how to navigate the challenge and uncertainty of this moment personally, and some specific things that leaders and teams can do right now to manage themselves, their energy, and connect with each other effectively.
On today’s show I talk about the intense paradox of this moment in time. Things are uncertain, scary, confusing, and challenging in so many ways. And, yet, there is so much opportunity for growth, and a recognition of love, beauty, and togetherness – even as most of us are physically separated right now. For us as leaders, parents, and human beings, being able to embrace the paradox of this moment and navigate through the contradictory emotions we are having are essential to our well-being and success, and that of those around us.
On today’s show, I talk about Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the Five Stages of Grief…and how I’ve been thinking about these things a lot the past few days. I have been really inspired by a few thought-leaders in recent days – Chip Conley, Brene Brown, David Kessler, and Elizabeth Gilbert. In this episode, I address how we can meet our needs, understand more deeply where we are and how we feel, and acknowledge the grief and loss we may be experiencing at this time. Allowing ourselves to truly feel how we’re feeling, without judgment, can move us to a place of acceptance and even meaning in the midst of all of this.
On today’s show I talk with my friend Michael Bungay Stanier, the author of a number of great books, including his latest, The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious, and Change the Way You Lead Forever. Michael and I reflect upon the current pandemic, and he shares his insights about how we can navigate this whole experience and support others in the process. He also gives some great advice about how to tame our “advice monster” – in general and especially right now.
Things continue to be challenging for so many of us in the midst of this global pandemic. And, as the news gets more grim and the reality of what’s happening settles in, it’s important for us to learn new ways to navigate this whole experience, and to support those around us to do the same. In this episode I share some thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for how to surrender to this experience – the most healthy and productive way. This isn’t all that fun or easy, and we’re all dealing with our own unique circumstance, challenges, and situations. And, we’re also all in this together.
