Chad Hymas is a ball of inspirational energy and he has an amazing story that you’re going to hear a little about.

From who did you learn your leadership skills? How can a leader easily identify the real free-riders in their team? What does it take to create a genuinely safe work environment? Today I have an incredible conversation with Dr. Tessa West, who is a professor of Psychology at NYU and the author of Jerks at Work. Together we unpack what happens when leaders don’t set a good example, and how it’s still possible to learn from bad leadership. We also get into safe work environments and creating holistic reward structures. Thanks for listening!

What are the three core elements present within every successful leader? Do you value outcomes or influence? Why are all great leaders self-aware? This is part 2 of my interview with Rob Hoskins (listen to our previous conversation here). Today we are talking about Rob’s work regarding the 3 types of leaders and their leadership styles. It is something I got tremendous value out of, and as Rob described it, I could see the difference between them and I actually saw where I fit in. I believe that the more that we know about our own style of leading, the better we are able to interact and engage with those around us, and those that we lead. I hope you get tremendous value out of our discussion today! Thanks for listening!

Do you want to learn the real power and importance behind your thoughts? Why should you follow the invitation to go inward when you feel strong emotions? What is the difference between your mind and your brain? As leaders, it is so important for us to be an example to others, and being able to cultivate and control our thoughts, sets us up for the path to greatness. We can no longer suppress our problems and convince ourselves that we’ve dealt with them or use positive affirmations as band-aids. It is time for us to address these issues so that we can lead from a clear mental space, and in today’s episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf explains this so wonderfully. Thanks for listening!

How do you reach your full potential by working through insecurities? How can unaddressed insecurities block the formation of authentic connections? What does empathy in business look like in practice? Today we have a great book for you, Raise Your Game, by Alan Stein Jr. His book really gets at the heart of a concept Alan and I discuss today, something I really feel is the catalyst in leadership — insecurity. As an ex-basketball performance coach, Alan has worked with some of the biggest names in the NBA - Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant - and now he’s teaching and applying these strategies in keynote programs and workshops.

Her book, Make It, Don’t Fake It, turns that adage on its head, and encourages leaders to embrace humanness and to be open to the difficult aspects of reality. Thanks for listening!
