"The Truth About Authenticity in Leadership"

"It's very hard to fake being authentic about something... It's not about what people say or the words on the wall, it's about observable behavior."

This is one of the many insightful quotes from my conversation with Wes Adams, MAPP and Tamara Myles, bestselling authors of "Meaningful Work."

During our conversation, Wes and Tamara challenge the narrow perception that meaningful work is exclusive to certain professions. To the contrary, they argue that any role, from janitors to CEOs, can be imbued with significance when it aligns with the pillars of Community, Contribution, and Challenge.

Check out this clip for a portion of my engaging conversation with two global thought leaders.

"How can I Think Faster and Talk Smarter in conflict?"

This was an excellent audience question on the Do Good to Lead Well podcast while I was speaking with bestselling author Matt Abrahams who wrote the book on the topic and who also hosts a top-rated podcast with the same name.

My favourite quote: "We often assume that the other person holds their position as strongly as we do.... and so we often create conflict where conflict is not needed."

Watch the clip to learn a simple, yet powerful exercise we can put into immediate practice to be more effective.

We cannot make progress if we lack humility. Humility is the first step toward growth. It takes great strength to be able to admit that you failed or to apologize. That’s the way of a Trust & Inspire leader. #TrustAndInspire

Seeking certainty about the future is psychologically comforting but ultimately maladaptive.

The truth is everything about the future is uncertain. The more comfortable we can be with uncertainty, the more gracefully we can adapt.

Stress is inevitable, but cumulative stress — the sort that leads to burnout — is avoidable. And we can interrupt cumulative stress by taking breaks and building in small moments to unplug and recharge throughout our day.
