118 - Amy Edmondson: Are you risking enough intelligent failure? Decoding failure to progress faster
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
Not only does nobody enjoy failure, but we also often fail to learn from it, resulting in failing twice! Building on my previous podcast episode with Amy Edmondson (Episode 116), Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, we dive into her latest book, Right Kind of Wrong, and unpack the science of failing well. This approach helps us avoid the tripwires that often crush courage, limit learning, and expose entire enterprises to greater risks. Learning how to risk more intelligent failure will not only propel you forward more quickly but also spare you the...

117 - Kirstin Ferguson: Leadership is a series of moments requiring both head and heart
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
Leadership isn’t about position or title. It’s about the decision we make, moment by moment, to show up… with head and heart and be a force for good in the lives of others. In my conversation with Kirstin, we discuss her new book Head & Heart and how you can be the leader the world needs you to be. We talk about staying self-aware (easier said than done!), being humble, having the courage to say sorry and to bring both your head and heart to making each moment better for others. No small task, but one we’re all called toward in some form.

116 - Amy Edmondson: Psychological safety de-risks candor and fuels courage.
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
"Unsafe cultures endanger everyone," says Amy Edmondson, Novartis Professor at Harvard Business School. Amy and I unpack why courage and psychological safety are two sides of the same coin, and why fostering psychologically safe workplaces requires people to trust that the pay off for courage is worth the pitfalls. Regardless of your position, making people feel safe to be honest and vulnerable with you – including sharing things you may not enjoy hearing - is vital for any meaningful relationship to flourish, personally or professionally.

115 - The Integrity Deficit: Do what’s right and clean up your slip-ups
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
You like to think of yourself as a person with integrity, right? Yet, doing what’s right is easier said than done. In a world where examples of poor character are easy to find, it’s easy to rationalize cutting corners or telling “little white lies". However, we often underestimate the cost of compromising what we know, deep down, is the right thing to do. This episode is a siren call to the highest angels of your nature, guiding you in cleaning up any fractures to your integrity, in your relationships and in your life. If you want to move forward lighter, more rooted to your deepest...

Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
Stanley McChrystal spent his military career navigating the real and deadly risks of combat, finishing a four-star General in Afghanistan overseeing 147,000 soldiers. He has walked the path of courage in ways most of us never will, concluding that the greatest source of risk lays in us - in how we identify, assess, respond and learn from risk. We cover a lot of ground in our conversation – from the need for more moral courage in leaders today to raising resilient kids. If you want to navigate risk better and lead smarter, this episode is for you. EPISODE LINKS:

113 - We are all response-able! Reclaim the power you give to your circumstances, blame and excuses
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
This episode is inspired by chapter one from my book Find Your Courage: The Courage To Take Responsibility The quality of your life directly correlates to your willingness to own your experience of life and resist the temptation to blame others or pity yourself. We live in a culture that encourages people to feel powerless and operate from a victim mindset. Yet your greatest power lays in taking full and compete ownership for your life. Sure, you cannot always choose your circumstances, but you always get to choose your response. In this episode, I unpack what it really means to be...

112 - It’s time to Take Courage! New series introduction
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
Let’s face it, if it were easy to be brave with our lives - to lean into our fears, choose ‘courage over comfort’ and lay our pride, ego and vulnerability on the line, more of us would. Truth is, our deep seated fears often keep us from taking the very actions that would help us create more rewarding lives. In this new series, I invite you to step back and consider where and how you’re being called to step up and ‘take courage’ even as that little voice in the back of your head urges you not to. If you need a little encouragement right now, you’ve landed in the right place!...

111 - The Courage Deficit: The hidden tax we pay when we let our deepest fears eclipse our highest values
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
It’s easy to criticize those in leadership roles for their lack of courage. Yet before we can change the world around us, we must first look at the world within us and reclaim the power we so often give to our fears. So as we close out one year and look toward the next, I invite you to think about where you may be letting your deepest fears keep you from moving toward the bravest vision and honoring your highest values. This podcast invites you to reflect on three key questions. Whatever your answer, I hope that you will move in that direction. Your future is riding on it.

110 - Act as the person you aspire to become
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
Every trait you admire in others also resides in you. Yet, it's easy to tell ourselves the lie that we have to first have more resources outside of us before we can become the person we’d most like to be. Not true. Deciding how you will show up for life right now is the most powerful way to become the person you eventually want to be. In this podcast, I invite you to start acting like the person you want to become and look after yourself as the would. There is no more powerful way to live life than by intentionally deciding how we will show up regardless of our situation or our setbacks. If...

109 - Make decisions fueled by courage, not fear
Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell
Decisions, decisions, decisions. Every day you make hundreds of decisions. Some large, many small. Yet too often fear – conscious and unconscious – keeps us from making the decisions that would serve us most – in our careers, relationships and lives. Left unchecked, fear of what might go wrong can drive us to make short-sighted, reactive, overcautious decisions that limit our lives in ways we often cannot see in the moment. So whatever challenges you are facing right now, take a listen and then make the best decision you can. One year from now, you will be so glad you did. ADDITIONAL...
