Designing Your Life: How to Focus on What Matters Most 35:33

for 7 dager siden35:33

35:33

Rob Shallenberger discusses his book "Do What Matters Most," explaining how implementing three key habits—creating personal visions, setting specific goals, and practicing pre-week planning—can dramatically increase productivity while reducing stress. These practices help people design intentional lives rather than defaulting to reactivity and chaos. TAKEAWAYS Creating written personal visions for each key life role provides direction and meaning, transforming how you approach priorities (only 2% of people do this). Pre-week planning (spending 20-30 minutes weekly) allows you to accomplish 800-1,000 additional priorities annually with less stress. The "Do What Matters Most" matrix helps identify high-value quadrant 2 activities that lead to peace and fulfillment rather than constant firefighting.

35:45

In this Transform Your Workplace episode, host Brandon Laws interviews Dr. Rosalind Chow about her book "The Doors You Can Open." They discuss the critical difference between mentorship and sponsorship, with Chow explaining that sponsors talk about you to others while mentors talk to you directly. Using Kim Ng's MLB breakthrough as an example, Chow emphasizes how sponsorship requires trust and can take different forms. She explores how "good gossip" celebrates others' achievements, the importance of diversifying social networks, and challenges with meritocracy. Chow concludes that everyone can be a sponsor by connecting people they admire. TAKEAWAYS Sponsorship differs from mentorship in that sponsors promote others through trusted networks, while mentors focus on personal improvement Social capital comes in "small town" (close-knit, values-aligned) and "big city" (diverse, innovation-focused) forms, with both being valuable in different contexts Everyone can be a sponsor by connecting admired individuals with others in their network, regardless of status or position A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 🔊 Podcast: Transform Your Workplace , sponsored by Xenium HR 🎙️ Host: Brandon Laws 📋 his own words: “The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.

She emphasizes that meaningful workplace cultures can be built through small, intentional practices rather than major overhauls, focusing on hope, purpose, and community to combat burnout and disengagement in today's rapidly changing work environment.

Melody Wilding discusses her book "Managing Up," explaining how employees can effectively navigate relationships with those in power. She covers critical conversations about alignment, understanding workplace communication styles, setting boundaries, giving upward feedback, and leaving jobs gracefully. Wilding emphasizes these skills are essential in today's workplace where manager relationships significantly impact mental health and career advancement. TAKEAWAYS Alignment is fundamental for success - Having clear conversations about priorities and expectations with managers helps ensure you're focusing on work that matters to both your boss and the organization. Understanding communication styles improves effectiveness - Recognizing the four workplace styles (Commander, Cheerleader, Caretaker, and Controller) allows you to frame messages in ways that resonate with different personality types. Setting boundaries requires strategic approaches - Learning to say no respectfully involves understanding your "pushback power" and using techniques like the "trade-off approach" and the "conditional yes" to maintain work-life balance.

Drawing parallels between supporting students and staff, he implements trauma-informed practices focused on emotional safety, trust, and predictability. Despite resource constraints, Matty maintains boundaries between work and home life while advocating for sustainable mission-driven work that prevents vulnerable students from falling through the cracks. TAKEAWAYS Leaders should apply trauma-informed principles to workplace management, recognizing that adults are "better rehearsed kids" who perform best in environments with safety, predictability, and trust. Setting personal boundaries is essential for sustainable leadership in emotionally demanding work, as exemplified by Matty's practice of mentally transitioning before arriving home. Mission-driven organizations like Serendipity face unique challenges in resource acquisition while maintaining ethical boundaries around sharing the vulnerable populations they serve.

Reclaim Your Time: Why Great Leaders Do Less, Not More 35:07

35:07

In this energizing episode of Transform Your Workplace, keynote speaker and author Peggy Sullivan delivers a much-needed wake-up call for today’s overwhelmed professionals. Sharing insights from her book Beyond Busyness: How to Achieve More by Doing Less, Peggy explores the hidden costs of glorifying busyness. Through heartfelt stories, she challenges leaders to rethink their priorities and model healthier, more intentional work habits. If you're a leader who feels stretched too thin, this episode is your invitation to lead differently — listen in and discover how doing less can help you and your team achieve more. TAKEAWAYS Busyness is often mistaken for productivity but usually leads to poor quality, low energy, and burnout. Time poverty—lacking time for what matters—is a widespread challenge among professionals. Overstuffed schedules and constant multitasking reduce effectiveness and increase mistakes. Email and communication overload are major distractions that hinder meaningful work. Chronic busyness contributes to loneliness, disengagement, and health issues. Leaders who model intentional time management set a healthier tone for their teams. Eliminating low-value tasks is essential to creating space for high-impact work. Happiness is found in everyday micro-moments, not in achieving big milestones.

The Transformative Power of Flexibility with Kevin Eikenberry 33:31

33:31

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, leadership expert Kevin Eikenberry shares powerful insights on navigating change with confidence. He emphasizes that flexibility is the key to effective leadership in uncertain times, challenging leaders to break strong habits, balance outcomes with people, and make smarter decisions. If you want to sharpen your leadership approach and learn how to lead with confidence through change, don’t miss this episode. TAKEAWAYS During change, leaders should refocus teams on what stays the same to help them feel more grounded. Flexibility is the key to navigating uncertainty and making effective leadership decisions. Balancing outcomes with people is essential—strong leaders don’t have to choose one over the other. Breaking habits requires intentionality, as leadership routines can limit adaptability. Context matters—leaders must assess situations carefully rather than relying solely on best practices. People naturally seek certainty, even if it’s uncomfortable, making clear communication critical during change. Strong leadership begins with self-awareness and a commitment to continuous improvement. Leading effectively means embracing both stability and change while guiding teams with confidence.

Rethinking Work: How Vulnerability Transforms Culture with Nikki Innocent 43:06

for 9 weeks siden43:06

43:06

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, host Brandon Laws sits down with Nikki Innocent, a leadership coach and DEI consultant, to explore the human side of workplace culture. Nikki shares a pivotal moment from her corporate career that ultimately led her to question workplace norms and advocate for more transparent, human-centered leadership. From addressing workplace toxicity to embracing multigenerational collaboration, Nikki challenges leaders to rethink how they create spaces where employees feel seen, valued, and heard. Listen in and discover how to break outdated workplace molds and foster a culture where authenticity and collaboration thrive. TAKEAWAYS When employees leave without acknowledgment, it creates confusion, mistrust, and a lack of psychological safety in the workplace. Toxic workplaces are often the result of outdated systems, not just individual bad leaders. Viewing workplace dynamics as heroes vs. villains oversimplifies human behavior and limits opportunities for growth and collaboration. Encouraging open conversations about challenges and discomfort leads to stronger teams and a healthier work environment. Modern leadership is shifting toward transparency, inclusion, and belonging—values that professionals across all generations seek. Acknowledging difficulties and emotions at work isn’t a weakness; it’s a sign of strength that fosters problem-solving and resilience. Since learning happens in every aspect of life, not just through formal education, workplaces should embrace continuous growth and adaptation. Multigenerational workplaces thrive when collaboration is prioritized over competition, creating space for diverse perspectives and innovation.

How Pressure Corrupts Well-Meaning Leaders with Sabina Nawaz 33:07

for 10 weeks siden33:07

33:07

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, host Brandon Laws sits down with global executive coach and author Sabina Nawaz to discuss the unseen pressures of leadership and how they can unknowingly change the way we lead. Drawing from her own experience as a former Microsoft executive, Nawaz shares how relentless pressure—not power—can corrupt even the most well-intentioned leaders. Through practical strategies, she offers a path forward for leaders to stay connected, self-aware, and intentional in their management approach. Don’t let pressure derail your leadership—tune in now to learn how to lead with clarity, connection, and confidence. TAKEAWAYS Leadership pressure can quietly push managers toward efficiency over empathy, distancing them from their teams. Strengths in previous roles, like efficiency or attention to detail, can be misinterpreted negatively in leadership. Employees often avoid giving honest feedback to leaders, leading to blind spots and poor decisions. When leaders voice their opinions first, others may hesitate to challenge them, creating blind consensus. Small habits, like putting away your phone in meetings, can improve leadership presence and connection. Leaders are always being watched—small actions and reactions can significantly impact team morale. Leadership is about creating an environment where others succeed, not doing all the work yourself.

How to Level the Field - Data-Driven Fairness with Siri Chilazi 44:57

for 11 weeks siden44:57

44:57

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, Siri Chilazi breaks down how small, practical changes can make hiring and workplace culture more fair and effective. She challenges the idea that bias training alone fixes workplace inequities and instead shows how data-driven tweaks can lead to real results. Chilazi also dives into common hiring biases, the power of accountability, and why companies that commit to fairness attract better talent. If you're a leader looking for simple, research-backed ways to improve your workplace, tune in today! TAKEAWAYS Small changes in hiring practices can reduce bias and help employers focus on what matters. Bias training alone isn’t enough to create fairness; structural and data-driven changes are needed to drive real impact. Data should be more than just charts and reports—it should be used to identify gaps and take meaningful action toward equity. Transparency and accountability push organizations to follow through on diversity and inclusion efforts. Workplace norms shape behavior, and leaders can actively influence these norms to create a more inclusive culture. People naturally gravitate toward those similar to them, making structured hiring processes essential to reduce bias. Leaders don’t have to overhaul everything at once—small, intentional shifts can create big results over time.

Employees are often confused about which mental health professionals to consult for various issues, so understanding the roles of different specialists can help in seeking the right support. The pandemic has exacerbated stress and anxiety in the workplace, so comprehensive wellness programs are critical to supporting employees during these challenging times.

Thinking about revamping your company’s HR? Give this episode a listen and learn how Systemic HR can have a profound impact on your business success.

It’s time to talk money with host Brandon Laws and Nicole Blevins of Xenium HR. Generative AI is revolutionizing the salary discussion, arming employees with the knowledge and confidence to negotiate better compensation. But are leaders ready for such transparency? Tune in for fresh insight into how employers can approach the compensation conversation with honest data and open communication in this new era of salary transparency. TAKEAWAYS Employees are leveraging tools like ChatGPT to access salary ranges, providing them significant leverage in salary negotiations. The shift in power dynamics from employers to employees is driven by the accessibility of salary information through platforms like Glassdoor and LinkedIn, combined with AI data analysis. Employers must adapt to this new landscape by being well-informed and transparent about compensation, using validated and verified data to support their pay structures. Clear and specific job descriptions are crucial, as they help align compensation with actual job duties and competencies, tailored to the organization’s size, revenue, and geographical location. Employers need to educate employees on the factors that influence compensation, addressing misconceptions and ensuring that comparisons are made on a like-for-like basis. Open and transparent communication about compensation strategies is essential in building trust and clarity.

From Praise to Pressure - Understanding the Perfectionism Problem with Greg Chasson 37:43

37:43

Sit down with host Brandon Laws and guest Dr. Gregory Chasson for a never-discussed topic on our podcast: perfectionism in the workplace. Drawing insights from his recent book, Flawed, Dr. Chasson paints a picture of how the relentless pursuit of perfection can spiral into a toxic force within corporate culture. Tune in to learn how leaders can combat this “perfection obsession” with empathy, understanding, and flexibility. TAKEAWAYS Perfectionism becomes problematic when it involves excessive, inflexible demands that go beyond what's considered normal or healthy. Procrastination is often a manifestation of perfectionism because people engage in safety behaviors such as excessive checking, reassurance-seeking, or extensive research to avoid failure. Perfectionism undermines workplace efficiency and productivity because it leads to decision paralysis, a toxic work environment, and other-oriented perfectionism, where employees impose unrealistic standards on their colleagues. Organizational practices like public praise or leaderboards can unwittingly perpetuate a culture of perfectionism, often demoralizing those struggling to meet the high standards. Perfectionists often overemphasize rules at the expense of underlying values, leading to policing behaviors that can be detrimental to workplace harmony. “Should” statements create unattainable universal expectations, leading to overwhelming pressure and feelings of inadequacy.

Tune in to learn about the six core mental muscles and hear practical insights from Mautz’s book, The Mentally Strong Leader. It’s time to harness this leadership superpower to elevate your workplace and inspire your team.

Exceptional leaders develop six core mental muscles — fortitude, confidence, boldness, decision-making, goal-focus, and positive messaging — which help them navigate adversity and achieve success. Developing mental strength requires forming consistent habits, ultimately enhancing overall resilience and performance. Leaders should assess their mental strength and create a personalized training program to address “mental muscles” that don't come naturally to them. Avoiding Imposter Syndrome, seeking authenticity over approval, and managing negative inner chatter can help maintain self-acceptance and effective leadership.

A recent Wall Street Journal article discussed how employees are no longer quitting at high rates. Guest Nicole Blevins unpacks this trend. A survey found 73% of workers now plan to stay at their jobs, up 12% from last year. Blevins notes some attrition brings new ideas and enables internal promotion.

Tune in as host Brandon Laws and guest CEO Coach Brad Zimmerman discuss the transformative power of purpose. Our guest explores ideas from his recently published book, The Great Engagement, including vulnerability, effective leadership coaching, and the role of emotions in the workplace. Overall, the episode provides insights into fostering an exceptional workplace culture by aligning individual aspirations with collective purpose. TAKEAWAYS This episode highlights the transformative impact of aligning individual aspirations and organizational purpose. Leaders should be connecting daily activities, meetings, and initiatives to the broader organizational purpose, ensuring that each employee’s aspirations contribute to the company’s collective goals. Fostering a sense of purpose among employees counteracts disengagement. A purpose-oriented culture helps employees stay focused on fulfilling others rather than protecting themselves.

Leaders should prioritize growing their people's effectiveness, coaching them, and empowering them to accomplish tasks, ultimately contributing to a thriving workplace culture.

This leads to disappointment and distrust when the reality doesn't match up. She shares a personal anecdote of friends calling her about mismatching expectations and work conditions.

TAKEAWAYS Employers sometimes "catfish" candidates by misrepresenting jobs and culture during hiring. This leads to disappointment when reality doesn't match up.

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, host Brandon Laws talks with Josh Merrill, the CEO and Founder of Confirm, an innovative people platform utilizing Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) for performance reviews. Josh shares the transformative journey of integrating this new methodology into performance evaluations. Tune in to learn the truth about your distribution of talent, the importance of eliminating bias in performance reviews, and how to use ONA to get a pulse on your company’s top talent. TAKEAWAYS Talent distribution follows a power law rather than the commonly assumed bell curve which means that a few employees are creating a disproportionate impact. Since 60% of manager ratings are influenced by biases, businesses should adopt ONA to provide a more objective evaluation that focuses on network dynamics. ONA, like the wisdom of the crowd, provides accurate insights by considering collective perspectives. Business leaders should implement periodic evaluations to identify impactful employees and address concerns promptly.

He shares practical tips from his book, The Culture Advantage, highlighting the role of culture in driving innovation, the significance of a growth mindset in leadership, and the importance of putting your people first.

The rapid change in the modern workplace is driven by societal and technological shifts, making adaptation crucial for any business’s survival. It's not just about the amount of money, time, or resources a company has, but rather the culture of innovation that sets successful companies apart. Building a culture that encourages and supports innovation is key to staying competitive. Changing a company's culture is a process that requires both immediate action and patience. Effective leaders listen and guide employees to find their own answers, which fosters psychological safety and contributes to a growth mindset within the company.

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, host Brandon Laws sits down with Dr. Steven Rogelberg, the Chancellor's Professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Dr. Rogelberg shares insights from his book, Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings, exploring topics such as the managerial role in effective 1:1s, the wide-ranging benefits, and practical implementation strategies for this foundational aspect of effective leadership. TAKEAWAYS In his book, Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings, Dr. Rogelberg emphasizes the transformative potential of one-on-one meetings in organizations and for leaders. While the agenda should be driven by the employee, managers play a vital role in creating an infrastructure to ensure the effectiveness of 1:1s. 1:1 meetings improve employee engagement, retention, team performance, and contribution to inclusion efforts. The blueprint for effective 1:1s focuses on building agendas, involving the direct report, and maintaining continuity across meetings to tell the story of the employee's progress.

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, Brandon Laws catches up with Josh Durham, Founder of Gamut Project Solutions and a veteran in the construction scene. Drawing from his extensive experience managing billion-dollar projects for over seventeen years, Josh shares insights on genuinely exchanging thoughts and ideas versus falling for the illusion of communication. The episode doesn't just talk the talk — it serves up practical strategies to amp up your professional communication. Tune in if you're serious about boosting this crucial workplace skill. TAKEAWAYS All humans share an inherent desire for survival, belonging, and personal growth. Fear triggers defensive reactions, hindering direct and clear communication. Active listening is the cornerstone of quality communication, and listening with empathy is the key to fostering understanding. Leaders must cultivate a workplace where employees feel psychologically safe to voice concerns and ideas, and doing so minimizes explosive conversations and encourages open dialogue. “Blame language” triggers defensive reactions, hindering the recipient's ability to absorb the message. Disagreements can offer us opportunities to self-reflect and reconsider our position.

In this episode, host Brandon Laws interviews Nicole Blevins about the importance of making meaningful connections with coworkers, especially in remote or hybrid work environments. They discuss how transactional don't foster quality relationships. Instead, being vulnerable and authentic, giving your full attention, and actively listening help create trusting bonds that allow for better collaboration, communication, and ability to handle conflicts. TAKEAWAYS With the shift to hybrid/remote work, employees lose the “water cooler moments” for making connections and must be more intentional about relationship-building. This requires vulnerability, active listening without distractions, and making space for deeper conversations. Employers play a role in enabling connections by allowing small talk time in meetings, organizing activities like virtual lunches or book clubs, supporting employee resource groups, and providing questions to spark meaningful dialogue. High-quality connections build trust critical for working together effectively, allowing people to be more productive, innovative, and engaged.

This episode of Transform Your Workplace features a deep dive into insights from Curtis Bateman’s co-authored book, Change: How to Turn Uncertainty into Opportunity. The episode explores the most common reactions to change — Move, Minimize, Wait, Resist, and Quit — and the leader’s role in understanding and managing these reactions as they move forward. Don’t miss this timely discussion on how leaders can spearhead positive change in a constantly evolving workplace. TAKEAWAYS Move, Minimize, Wait, Resist, and Quit are all natural and common reactions to change in the workplace. Leaders must recognize and manage these diverse reactions instead of moving forward without employee buy-in. Each reaction has its strengths and limitations, and leaders can effectively tap into and leverage the strengths during times of change. A well-crafted case for change facilitates alignment and engagement throughout the organization. Leaders need to discern where their team members are in their journey through change and tailor their approach accordingly, and this requires a deep understanding of people's feelings, thoughts, and actions in the midst of change.

And while we may think of play time as exclusively for kids, adults can also learn a lot about themselves and others through play. Tune in to find out how our guest was inspired to champion the cause of play and how play can make a difference in your relationships, your perspective, and ultimately, your business. TAKEAWAYS While it's evident that kids benefit from play, adults can also learn valuable lessons through play in the areas of team building, socialization, and overall personal development. Play is a crucial avenue for learning teamwork, curiosity, and conflict resolution. Adults, especially leaders, should actively participate in play to break down barriers and build trust in the workplace. Opportunities for play cannot be forced; instead, players should be invited to participate of their own accord.

There’s no better time than the present to talk about AI. In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, guest Jennifer Dulski, CEO of Rising Team, offers insights on the recent and transformative role of AI in the modern workplace. Jennifer shares her firsthand experiences, emphasizing how AI, when combined with human passion and connection, becomes a powerful tool in shaping compelling visions and driving business success. Although it can be scary to embark on the unknown, embracing AI today is key to staying ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape. TAKEAWAYS AI, when combined with human passion, can be an enormous asset in shaping a compelling vision. While AI excels in various tasks, leaders must focus on what AI can’t do: foster empathy, deep trust, and connection with their teams. Leaders don't need to be tech-savvy to leverage AI; they just need to be trained on prompting. AI's ability to suggest alternatives by considering a vast amount of data can be invaluable in decision-making. While AI may replace some jobs, it will also create new opportunities in the workplace. Leaders must embrace AI now to stay competitive in a rapidly changing business landscape.

Tune in to learn how to reduce friction, strike out the fluff, and clarify your message from the author of Simply Put: Why Clear Messages Win. TAKEAWAYS Simplicity in messaging is not just about minimalism but minimizing friction for easy understanding. Easy-to-understand messages create positive associations, fostering trust, likability, and higher engagement. Message senders and receivers face internal and external battles against simplicity. Good communicators eliminate “friction” to prevent receivers from getting distracted from the message. Complicated messaging is selfish, cowardly, and dangerous.

TAKEAWAYS Agreements serve as the foundation for the success of any business, and understanding and meeting these agreements is crucial for success in leadership and collaboration. Mutual understanding, clarity, communication, and well-defined roles and responsibilities are key to a successful agreement. In legal contracts, ambiguous language can lead to misunderstandings, so clarity is important from the outset. Collaborators on both sides of a contract have a great responsibility in creating an agreement, but they also have a great responsibility in understanding its terms. Risks in agreements should be assigned to the right party to avoid problems down the road, and upfront clarity can save time and build momentum for future projects.

Communication and transparency are essential for helping employees navigate complex processes such as promotions, compensation, and rewards.

In a world where organizations are striving to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, this episode of Transform Your Workplace explores why it’s essential for leaders to acknowledge and address disparities when it comes to gender. Guests Kelsey Pytlik and Rachel Bauer of Gild Collective shed light on the fact that women are still leaving companies at alarming rates post-pandemic, primarily due to a lack of supportive workplace practices and policies after recruitment. Tune in and learn more about how you can provide adequate support to retain your top female talent. TAKEAWAYS Empathy is a critical soft skill for driving change, interrupting bias, and implementing equitable workplace systems. While many companies initially embraced diversity and inclusion efforts, resistance and a desire to return to the status quo can hinder their progress. Acknowledging and addressing personal biases is challenging, but awareness can lead to meaningful change. Women face unequal treatment at work, requiring a shift in how organizations address these disparities. Because diverse perspectives drive innovation, companies with greater gender and ethnic diversity tend to outperform their competitors. Organizations should avoid one-size-fits-all approaches and instead tailor gender equity initiatives to their specific needs.

38:58

Intrigued by the paradox of leading with vulnerability? Tune into this fascinating podcast with Jacob Morgan. Morgan shares an emotional story of how suppressing emotions led him to experience panic attacks. He makes a thoughtful case that vulnerability differs for leadership roles and requires a blend of openness and competence. You'll come away with insightful perspectives as Morgan outlines eight attributes leaders need to unlock the power of vulnerability. He also provides practical tips for leaders becoming more vulnerable, emphasizing the intention behind what you share. TAKEAWAYS Leaders must combine vulnerability with demonstrated leadership competence - you can't just be vulnerable without the leadership piece. There are 8 attributes leaders need: 3 for leadership (competence, self-confidence, motivation) and 5 for vulnerability (integrity, authenticity, empathy, self-compassion, self-awareness). Leading with vulnerability improves innovation, trust, engagement, and perceptions of leadership quality. Vulnerability is critical for leaders in today's complex, rapidly changing environment.

The Virtuous Cycle of Retention with Erica Keswin 34:04

34:04

Our latest episode features Erica Keswin, a workplace strategist and bestselling author, and a discussion revolving around the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the world of work. Erica talks about her latest book, The Retention Revolution, and how leaders must rethink their battle stance in the War for Talent if they want to stay competitive. Ultimately, the key to retaining talent lies in offering growth opportunities, empathetic leadership, flexibility, and — surprisingly — maintaining an open door even when employees choose to move on. TAKEAWAYS The pandemic accelerated the need for a more humane approach to work, making leaders more empathetic and vulnerable. Erica Keswin’s book, The Retention Revolution, explores how leaders can adapt to retain employees in the changing work landscape. In the modern work environment, people expect to change jobs frequently, so companies must focus on intentional onboarding and treating employees well. The definition of "work" is evolving, and companies need to find a balance between technology and human connection. To retain employees, companies should offer growth opportunities, trained empathetic managers, flexibility, and open doors even if employees decide to leave.

The Inclusion-Engagement Equation with Katarina Polonska 26:39

Katarina Polonska, a transformational connection coach, discusses the misconceptions surrounding some of the top trending topics in the workplace: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. She explains how the language we use can either help or hinder this important conversation. Listen in to get fresh insights into the crucial relationship between effective inclusive practices and engagement among your people. TAKEAWAYS Inclusion is about having involvement and feeling that you're actually empowered to be involved, which if we distill even further, is really about engagement. To create an inclusive environment, one must create a sense of belonging and psychological safety. The inclusion-engagement equation naturally leads to higher retention, better productivity, greater innovation, and higher revenue. There has to be something around bringing in the very techniques of inclusion and belonging if we want to foster inclusion and belonging, and that means including the people we speak to and the people who are speaking about it. When it comes to opening up a conversation around D&I, leaders must bring empathy, listen, validate, and try to understand the struggles of their people.

Deloitte prioritizes mental well-being, understanding that a stressed or distracted employee cannot perform at his or her best. Every workforce is unique, and organizations should tailor their well-being initiatives to their specific needs and business objectives.

The two discuss Carolyn’s personal journey from navigating her husband’s terminal kidney cancer to her eventual path to healing. Listen in to learn the impact of trauma in the workplace and how leaders can adopt more compassionate and human-centered approaches toward their people. TAKEAWAYS Being attuned to others' experiences and valuing their perspectives is at the core of self-awareness and leadership. The foundation of leadership lies in awareness and the ability to navigate emotional complexities in a noisy world. The terms "care" and "trauma" aren’t often used in the corporate context, but the collective trauma experienced during the pandemic has brought these concepts to the forefront, making it crucial for workplaces to acknowledge and address them. Leaders must understand trauma, its effects, and how they can foster a sense of belonging by honoring the diverse experiences of their team members.

The Power of Negotiating with Kelli Thompson 32:28

In this episode of Transform Your Workplace, we tackle the tricky topic of negotiation. According to guest Kelli Thompson, whether you’re negotiating pay, benefits, workplace location, or PTO, “success loves clarity,” both on the side of the employee and the employee. Learn about acceptable pay ranges for your role, the importance of proper negotiation from the outset, and how to present your case. TAKEAWAYS Proper negotiation from the outset has a lasting impact on the financial landscape of a career. A common misconception is that it’s unprofessional or rude to ask for more money; however, appropriate pay is beneficial for not only the employee but the employer as well. Since organizations make decisions based on market equity, skills, talents, and experience, employees must base their negotiation approach on these factors. Negotiation isn’t just about pay — employees can negotiate when it comes to PTO, tuition, workplace location, benefits, and more.

Rewiring the White Collar Mind with Charles Price 29:38

In the white collar world, the skills and lessons that make us professionally successful aren’t designed to help us lead happy, balanced lives. But how can we fill in these learning gaps this late in the game? According to recent guest Charles Price, it’s all about rewiring our minds and staying present. Listen in to some stories and tips about how to rewire your relationship with yourself and your career for authentic balance and contentment. TAKEAWAYS Not only are there gaps in our professional training, but in many ways, these lessons can steer us away from the things that we need to live contented and balanced lives. Students are taught to analyze the past and strategize for the future but never to live in the present. We tend to minimize all of our wins and successes while, at the same time, we obsess about our defeats and mistakes, so our “bank balance” inevitably becomes radically overdrawn. So many people say that their motivation is money, a promotion, a job, a position, or this recognition, but that doesn’t seem to work like finding a motivation that is “bigger than yourself.” We have power over what our inner voices say to us, but we often don't exercise that power.

In this episode of the Transform Your Workplace podcast, host Brandon Laws interviews David Dodson, an accomplished author and successful entrepreneur. David shares insights from his book, The Manager's Handbook, which provides a comprehensive blueprint for effective management, offering practical and data-driven strategies for hiring, onboarding, and day-to-day leadership. The episode provides valuable insights for managers seeking to optimize team performance and achieve business success. TAKEAWAYS Managers must move away from hiring based on gut feelings and move toward hiring based on outcomes. In the first one hundred days, the connective tissue is built between the employee and the company, so proper leadership during this initial time is critical to retention. Instant performance management with radical candor is essential in developing your people and building trust. The exit interview is a secret weapon for greater understanding and development of the manager’s strengths and weaknesses, and it must be conducted effectively by someone who is not the direct report. Often, we can confuse busyness with progress — we must ask ourselves whether we’re moving the company forward or just “being busy.” Sign up for the annual What People Want from Work Survey by Aug 31: https://xeniumhr.com/what-people-want-from-work/ A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST 🔊 Podcast: Transform Your Workplace , sponsored by Xenium HR 🎙️ Host: Brandon Laws 📋 In his own words: “The Transform Your Workplace podcast is your go-to source for the latest workplace trends, big ideas, and time-tested methods straight from the mouths of industry experts and respected thought-leaders.”…

3 Keys to Keeping Top Talent with Joe Mull 29:59

for 2 years siden29:59

29:59

Struggling to keep top talent in today’s modern workplace? It’s not as complicated as you might think. According to recent guest Joe Mull, author of Employalty, employers must make a commitment to three essential aspects of a “destination” workplace: providing the ideal job, prioritizing meaningful work, and being a great boss. Simple yet powerful, these focus areas are the key to lasting retention. Listen in and learn how you can take real steps to ignite commitment and loyalty among your people. TAKEAWAYS Employalty is a portmanteau of the words “employer,” “loyalty,” and “humanity.” Social science research shows that organizations can attract and retain dedicated employees by focusing on three key areas: “ideal job,” “meaningful work,” and “great boss.” Today’s employees are recalibrating the type of work they want to do and how that work fits into their lives. Business owners and leaders need to embrace a mindset shift — that there is no staffing shortage, but rather that there is a “great jobs” shortage. People generally do a great job when they believe they have a great job. The ideal job is made up of compensation, workload, and flexibility. People believe that their work is meaningful if they find purpose, use their strengths, and experience belonging. This “great boss” factor is made up of three dimensions: trust, coaching, and advocacy.

Sit down with Malorie Nicole, a transformational executive coach, as she discusses the challenges that today’s leaders face in achieving personal business alignment. Malorie highlights the importance of scaling a company by keeping the development and well-being of your people at the forefront. And when it comes to boosting team performance, she talks about how CEOs must start with themselves. If you’re a leader of people, you don’t want to miss this conversation on how to create real and lasting change for your team. TAKEAWAYS A significant challenge facing today’s leaders is achieving personal business alignment, or the harmony between an individual's personal values, passions, and goals and the goals and direction of their business. Scaling a business is largely dependent on the development of people. Post-pandemic, people don't just want a place to work but rather a place where they feel connection and autonomy. When you’re feeling “stuck,” it usually means you forgot to give yourself permission to do something — to change, to let go, or to pivot. Top-performing CEOs make strategic decisions instead of micromanaging daily tasks. Emotional intelligence is critical if CEOs want to experience mental freedom, better performance, and stronger team culture.

This is one eye-opening conversation that you don’t want to miss. TAKEAWAYS The workplace is undergoing significant transformation and won't revert to its pre-pandemic state. Nine transformative forces are shaping the modern workplace. One hypothesis about a drop in workplace productivity is its correlation with a forced return to work. A leading cause of burnout is technology and collaboration overload. Management shouldn’t dismiss new tools, like Generative AI, just because of their disadvantages, but they should also be wary of leaning too heavily upon them.

He shares how his experience at Elemental, a small startup later acquired by Amazon, inspired him to start Field Day, a program that connects employees with volunteering opportunities at local nonprofits. Give this episode a listen, and learn how volunteering can have a positive impact on your team’s morale, job satisfaction, and company culture. TAKEAWAYS Creating a culture of giving back to local nonprofits boosts employee morale, job satisfaction, and retention. Recognizing the value of this outlet for employees, Eli Blackman co-founded Field Day, aiming to fill the gap in the market for tools that empower companies and employees to participate in volunteer activities together. Volunteering shouldn’t be forced; instead, once employees participate of their own accord, they make connections that inspire and spur them to continue. Leaders must address the challenge of relationship-building among their hybrid workforce, and one way to do so is through volunteering initiatives. 80% of employees who participate in volunteer events see a decrease in stress and report an improvement in mental health. Companies that integrate corporate social responsibility into their culture see a 50% decrease in turnover.
