Reality-Based Leadership

My guests Dr. Mark and Ali Novitsky help us understand why this happens to couples and how can we move towards greater awareness and understanding, and working just as hard at our personal relationships as we do our work relationships.    Learn more about Ali: https://mindbodymarriage.com/ Learn more about Mark: https://www.novitskymd.com/ Resuscitate Your Marriage Podcast: https://apple.co/2BLqeQ1

In our 4th and final episode in this series, Dr. Sasha Shillcutt and I are talking about how we as women tend to play small, minimize our successes and think, it's just too good to be true. The reality is that these thoughts are rooted in fear and scarcity, and we can all choose to move beyond this negative self-talk in order to achieve more joy in our lives. We'd love it if you shared this series with all the women in your life! Follow both of us @cywakeman and @become_brave_enough Have a question for us?

I'm excited to introduce you to Safi Bahcall, a physicist, entrepreneur, and the bestselling author of Loonshots. Safi talks about the competing forces in a company that suddenly change from embracing wild new ideas to rigidly rejecting them. So many organizations are focused on culture, but Safi emphasizes the importance of small shifts in the structure of an organization that can have a radical breakthrough in group behavior.

I asked for your questions about the philosophy a week or so ago and got over 100 responses! I'm answering 2 of them today with Alex Dorr, our VP of People Evolution. "I don't always have 10 minutes to react without emotion. Sometimes I feel like I need 10 hours to respond with grace! However, a response is often needed in 10 seconds. How can I maneuver these 'right now' situations?" - Suzy Kraemer "How can I coach the highly-engaged but low-accountable employee, especially when there is a group of them?" - Angela Feldkamp Beck SBAR Tool: http://bit.ly/2InNWFQ

Today I'm talking about a question I get a lot on the road, which is: How can I make somebody else do something? What I find is many organizations are talking a lot about accountability, but when it comes to the day to day, our behaviors, words, and processes enable the exact opposite of what we are wanting to create.   In this episode, I share examples of how you can stop enabling others both at home and work.   SPECIAL SERIES FOR WOMEN! Tune in on Wednesdays for a series with Dr. Sasha Shillcut on how women sabotage themselves. Follow @become_brave_enough
