Leading from the inside.

Leadership is not the same thing as authority. You don’t need letters before or after your name, or a special title to be a leader. You don’t need a title at all.

Leadership is less about role and all about a choice. We all know and have experienced authorities…people who have manager or boss or charge nurse or supervisor in their titles who are terrible leaders. I’m sure you have experienced this. I know I have. And it’s really unfortunate when that happens…because it doesn’t have to. Great leadership is a skill that can be taught, but being a true leader takes more than just learning some management skills.

Great leadership is not something that comes only from the outside at all….it’s an inner thing. That’s why I called this Leading from the Inside. Leading people is not the same as bossing them around or as managing them. Not at all. It’s more intuitive than that.

Are you working with a passive- aggressive person?

It might be hard to tell at first, but there are definite signs to look out for.

With all the negativity around in the world right now, it’s easy to get caught up in the theme…but what is it doing to your life, your health and your workplace?

Have you ever been treated differently based on what you wore? I believe you have, and unfortunately, there are subtle and sometimes not-so-subtle ways in which workplace dress code enforces age-old stereotypes and fosters disrespect. Join this thought-provoking conversation about shifting corporate culture around topics of what you wear to work versus the skills and humanity you bring, as Jenn interviews guest expert Mike Domitrz from the Date Safe Project.

Listening is not the same as hearing. We hear things all the time and studies have shown that we only retain anywhere between 17 and 25% of what we hear. Most of us like to think we are good, or even great communicators…but one of the skills we have the least amount of actual training in is listening. So why is it important and what advantages can you gain by getting better at it? What’s in it for you to learn more about this topic and to practice it? And how can you go about getting better at the skill of listening? Find out in this episode.

Changing Careers…

it’s a pretty common thing now. People have multiple careers over a lifetime and it is becoming more common to make a change in mid-life. (I should know…I did it myself.)

It’s understandable that you might want to do something new…to work at something you want to work at, to follow your passion…to do something you’ve always wanted to do, or even just to have a change of scenery. There are SO many reasons why you might find yourself making a move…but how best to approach what might seem like a daunting proposition?

Join me in this podcast episode to get some tips on how to go about exploring and then making the change.
