In this episode, we focus on leveraging Polarity Intelligence™, which is Pillar #2 of our Dynamic Balance EffectTM (DBE) Framework. Polarity Intelligence applies the “missinglogic” to leverage the unavoidable tensions and challenges impacting your daily life. The thing is, most leaders feel these tensions are problems to solve because it’s the only lens they’ve ever known. If you treat them as problems and you don’t realize that you’re experiencing unmanaged polarities, you will realize your greatest fears and end up failing. In this podcast, we talk about the numerous tensions that act on you and how to identify and leverage them to establish a balanced life. We also talk about four crux personal polarities and their early warning signs, and negative outcomes if you over-focus on one over the other.

How many times do you say, “I’m fine, I’m just really busy” when people ask you how you are? Being busy becomes a status symbol as a leader. In fact, the more you can do, the more you’re asked to do, and the more you feel you’re bringing value to your team and your organization. In this podcast episode, we talk about why being busy is a badge of burnout, not honor. We also discuss the importance of setting boundaries for leaders and some warning signs of wearing a badge of burnout.

You've probably heard that work-life balance doesn't exist. Or maybe you've tried to balance your personal and professional life, especially during these challenging times, but you feel like it's impossible to achieve. As leaders, we're taught to look at challenges and issues as problems to solve and we think that problem-solving is the logic we apply to all challenges we face. Are we right? The thing is, not every problem is solvable, and if you can't recognize that the challenge isn't a problem to solve, then you're going to fail over time. In this episode, we reveal that Work-Life Balance is possible and why you can achieve it as a leader. We also discuss why some problems are not solvable, what a polarity is, how they work, and how you can take a different approach to manage them.
