  • How To Practice Resilience With Dr. Taryn Marie, Former Head of Exec Leadership at Nike

    How To Practice Resilience With Dr. Taryn Marie, Former Head of Exec Leadership at Nike
    2020/04/14
    Lots of people have one piece of the resilience puzzle. Their experience and expertise has given them insight on, say, nutrition or money or self-care or community building. These people are awesome, and they’ll be coming on the show. Few people have an established model about resilience, based on empirical evidence and tested in both the business and academic worlds. Dr Taryn Marie Stejskal is the unicorn. Her pre- and post-doctoral studies focused on the assessment and treatment of neurological injury, and she went on to be the Head of Executive Leadership Development at Nike, and of Global Leadership Development at Cigna. She then founded her own company, Resilience Leadership, where she serves as the Chief Resilience Officer (CRO), and champions the The Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People. In this episode we get into what’s wrong with bouncing back; those five practices of resilient people; the distinction between choice and control; how Kevin Bacon may have shot himself in the foot; why the mindset “everything happens for a reason” drives us both crazy … and just what it means to over-egg a pudding. You can meet Dr Taryn Marie at www.resilience-leadership.com and on Instagram at @drtarynmarie. This show is brought to you by The Advice Trap, Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book.

  • How To Fight Well with Liane Davey, author of The Good Fight

    How To Fight Well with Liane Davey, author of The Good Fight
    2020/04/14
    Confession: I’m not that great at conflict. For WAY too long my motto has been: Why have conflict when you can passively aggressively avoid it in some way? But the truth is, if we’re going to get through this, we need to manage conflict as best we can. Avoid the unnecessary fights; and fight well in the conflicts we have to have to move forward. That’s why it’s so important to listen to Liane Davey. She is an organizational psychologist who advises leaders on both strategy and team effectiveness. She's distilled her 25 years of experience into her most recent book, The Good Fight: Use Productive Conflict to Get Your Team and Your Organization Back on Track. In our conversation we talk about why we’re biologically wired to avoid conflict (see, it isn’t just me!); the price we pay for accumulating “conflict debt”; the delusion of “picking your battles”; when sweating palms can be helpful; and how to best harness the power of validation and reciprocity. You can meet Liane at www.LianeDavey.com and follow her on LinkedIn. This show is brought to you by The Advice Trap, Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book.

  • How To Stay Grateful with Chester Elton, Author of Leading with Gratitude

    How To Stay Grateful with Chester Elton, Author of Leading with Gratitude
    2020/04/14
    The first time I saw Chester, he was wearing one of his trademark orange shirts and was surrounded by adoring fans at a learning and development conference. It was clear that people loved him. To be honest, I was irritated. I wanted some of that mojo for myself! When I got to know him years later, I discovered that, well, I loved him too … the man combines a big heart and a big brain in a way that’s irresistible. He is the author of a number of books that combined have sold north of 1.5 million copies. On the back of that thought leadership, he has worked for more than two decades helping organizations engage their employees in organizational strategy, vision, and values. In our conversation we dig into the wisdom of his latest book, Leading with Gratitude. We crush the misunderstanding that gratitude is somehow self-indulgence; talk about what it takes to build up the gratitude muscle; wrestle with the “Hand of God” from an atheist’s (mine) point of view; and share the ritual Chester instituted to help his kids embrace the power of gratitude. You can meet Chester at www.LeadingWithGratitudeBook.com and www.TheCultureWorks.com, and follow him on LinkedIn. This show is brought to you by The Advice Trap, Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book.

  • How To Balance Compassion and Grit with Jen Lounden, author of Why Bother?

    How To Balance Compassion and Grit with Jen Lounden, author of Why Bother?
    2020/04/20
    Jen Louden is one of my most important friends. We met fifteen years ago (it might even be more), when a mutual friend suggested we be part of a mastermind group together. Honestly, I wasn’t sure it would last. She was the best-selling author of The Women’s Comfort Book, the first mega-selling book on self-care … and what I assumed was likely a whole bunch of touchy-feely, self-indulgent stuff that was not really my thing at all. And yet, here we are. I love her and I admire her work, in particular her new book Why Bother? When times are hard, one reaction is often apathy. There are things to do … but why bother? Jen’s struggled with that, and has written a book that shares in a practical, compassionate and non-trite way how to find your way back to purpose, engagement and, ultimately, yourself.  In our conversation we talk about the myths of self-comfort, and how it’s often hard, not soft; how it’s possible to have self-compassionate grit; why you have to be alert for key moments of transition; the power of Conditions of Enoughness; and how (to everyone’s surprise) Jen ended up being a committed trail runner. You can meet Jen at her website www.Jenniferlouden.com and follow her on Instagram at @JenLouden.  This show is brought to you by The Advice Trap, Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book.

  • How To Have a Money Plan with Bruce Sellery, author of Moolala: Why Smart People Do Dumb Things With Their Money

    How To Have a Money Plan with Bruce Sellery, author of Moolala: Why Smart People Do Dumb Things With Their Money
    2020/04/20
    Money is so often a source of anxiety … and that’s during the good times. When times are hard, money can prove to be an even more significant source of concern and stress. That’s why I invited Bruce Sellery to be a guest on the podcast. I met him many years ago when he was a business journalist, and he’s gone on to be the host of the Million Dollar Neighborhood for the Oprah Winfrey Network and a money columnist for CBC Radio. He’s the author of Moolala: Why Smart People do Dumb Things with Their Money, and he also hosts Moolala: Money Made Simple, a weekly radio show on personal finance for SiriusXM. You get a sense of Bruce in the name of his business: it’s pronounced M-oo-la-LA!. He’s about adding some flair and lightness to understanding money, while not diminishing its importance. In our conversation we dig deep into the four reasons why people do dumb things with money (“the C Factors); and then the five steps it takes to build out a robust money plan, in difficult times and in good times. You can meet Bruce at his website www.Moolala.ca and follow him on Twitter at @brucesellery. This show is brought to you by The Advice Trap, Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book.

  • How To Strengthen Your Reputation With Dorie Clark, Author of Reinventing You

    How To Strengthen Your Reputation With Dorie Clark, Author of Reinventing You
    2020/04/20
    Dorie Clark has been described by no less than the New York Times as an expert in self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives. That’s probably all you need to know. But in case you’re asking yourself, “yes, but what else?” know that she's a frequent contributor to Harvard Business Review and is author of a number of books including Stand Out, which was named the number one leadership book of the year by Inc magazine. I’ve known Dorie for quite a while, and part of her quiet genius is the disciplined rigour of her approach to anything she does. When she builds a brand, she does it methodically. When she creates a network, she does it methodically. When she builds her business … you get the idea. If you’re known for something, you’re more likely to be valued; and if you’re valued, you’re more likely to get through whatever’s ahead. In our conversation we talk about why we shouldn’t get tripped up on the whole idea of “a personal brand”; why, if you build it, they won’t come; the necessity of creating content, and how to start even if you don’t know where to start; the power of social proof; and why networking really isn’t as bad as you probably think it is. You can meet Dorie on her website and discover how far along the path you are to becoming a recognized expert at www.DorieClark.com/toolkit.  This show is brought to you by The Advice Trap, Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book.

  • How To Focus On The Right Thing With Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, Author of The Project Revolution

    How To Focus On The Right Thing With Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, Author of The Project Revolution
    2020/04/20
    I was introduced to the concept of projects and project management through a productivity guy: David Allen. In David’s book Getting Things Done, he says (and I paraphrase), "We get overwhelmed by all the stuff on our plates. Start thinking about almost everything you do as a project, and then you can start managing it as a project." David’s introducing a system, and in tough times, good systems are one of the things that help you live a better life, feel more in control, and get through this. Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez is the world expert on projects and project management. He’s written books, Harvard Business Review articles and is named as one of the Thinkers 50, the so-called “Oscars of management”. He really has been a champion forever in the argument that projects are the lingua franca of the business and personal worlds.  In our conversation we talk about the power of focus; the necessity of courage; why saying No is perhaps the ultimate project management hack; and how to avoid the swamps of project management where so many of us can get bogged down. You can meet Antonio at his website www.antonionietorodriguez.com and on Twitter at @AnietoRodriguez. This show is brought to you by The Advice Trap, Michael Bungay Stanier’s latest book.
