#226: Encore Episode: The Importance of Creating Margin for Leaders

In this episode, we talk about creating a margin in your life and why it’s important for Thriving, Resilient and Unstoppable (TRU) leaders. We know leaders continue to experience numerous Covid surges, staffing shortages, increasing demands on their work, and other challenges that have kept the work intensity high that causes fatigue leading to exhaustion and burnout. In fact, most healthcare leaders continue to experience pain from the stress and work overload they deal with every day and trying to balance everything on their plates. In this podcast, we introduce the concept of “margin” in four areas in our lives to achieve balance and some of the underlying polarities. We also talk about some tips on creating margin in your life and some of the negative consequences of not having  margin in your life.

#225: Encore Episode: Reduce Negative Tension in Your Life and Leverage the Predictability of Polarities

Tension exists in all aspects of our life.  Many of the tensions we experience are perpetual, in other words, they never go away. When the tension isn’t managed or leveraged, it can feel heavy or negative. You may or may not already be realizing, if the tension isn’t going away, your best chance for a positive outcome is to learn to manage or leverage the tension. In this podcast, we have fun combining two of our passions (Polarity Intelligence™ and the game of golf) to show you how to leverage chronic tensions.

#224: Encore Episode: How to Become the CEO of your Life

Today’s episode is all about “How to become the CEO of your life”. We believe that if you're not taking full responsibility for your life and you're blaming circumstances and making an excuse not to do the things that serve your purpose, then you're not the CEO of your life. Maybe you have a limiting belief that you don't have a choice, or you’re not in control of your own life. But if you're the CEO of your life, you can give yourself the agency to realign your purpose, you have the choice to take control and create empowering beliefs for better outcomes of your life. In this podcast, we talk about how every leader has the agency to be the CEO of their own life. We also discuss three characteristics of being a CEO and what it takes to live those characteristics and own your life.

#223: Encore Episode: Is Problem Solving the Most Valuable Skill a Leader Can Have?

One of the core characteristics of a strong leader is they are an excellent problem solver. As clinicians, you are also trained to solve problems for the patients/clients you serve. But what we’ve come to learn is not all problems are solvable, and problem-solving skills don’t work on all the challenges that leaders face. So, then what do you do?  Today, we are going to tell you what you do.  We are going to talk about an essential competency every leader must have to overcome unsolvable problems and achieve sustainable outcomes.

#222: Encore Episode: How to Create a Vision for Your Professional and Personal Life

Do you have a vision for your life personally and professionally? In the work we do with leaders we often find they don’t have a clear vision for their life. Without a clear vision it’s difficult to feel personally aligned, to make mindful choices, or to know what actions to take. As Yogi Berra says, “You got to be careful, if you don’t know where you are going, ‘cause you might not get there”.  You end up feeling frustrated, full of regret, and wondering “how did I get here?” In today’s episode, we are sharing with you how to create a clear vision for your personal and professional life, so you can be a TRU (Thriving, Resilient, Unstoppable) leader.
