Today’s episode is the second in a series of podcasts in which I discuss the five principles of my new book Bring Your Whole Self to Work: How Vulnerability Unlocks Creativity, Connection, and Performance. During this episode, I talk about the power of appreciation and how to take on a mindset of gratitude. I also offer ways individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations can start practicing and utilizing appreciation to create a positive, healthy culture at work. Imagine if we all showed up to work today and made the choice to be grateful for all of it, even the stuff that ruffles our feathers.
The five principles of my new book are #1 Be Authentic, #2 Utilize the Power of Appreciation, #3 Focus on Emotional Intelligence, #4 Embrace the Growth Mindset, and #5 Create a Championship Team.

Today’s episode is the first in a series of podcasts in which I discuss the five principles of my new book Bring Your Whole Self to Work: How Vulnerability Unlocks Creativity, Connection, and Performance. During this episode, I address the foundational first principle, Be Authentic. This principle is important because it is the one all the other principles in the book build upon. It’s not always easy to be authentic. It takes conscious effort, mindful intention, and real courage. I share about the authenticity equation and a group activity that help can help you, your team, and anyone move through the fear often associated with being vulnerable and demonstrate the human connection we all share.
Over the next few episodes, I will be exploring the additional four principles of my book. They are #2 Utilize the Power of Appreciation, #3 Focus on Emotional Intelligence, #4 Embrace the Growth Mindset, and #5 Create a Championship Team.
