Episode 272 - Getting REAL About Preferences with Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
Today I'm wondering about preferences: why we like the things we like, and what happens when we forget that it's OK to like different things. I share some of my own stories about when I thought I was wrong for liking different things than my friends, and how that had me question my own values. Values and preferences are not the same thing. Values guide our behavior and decisions in deeper ways - like integrity, connection, compassion, truth. Preferences are more like our style of expression. They're how we dress our values, not the values themselves. I reference the Enlightened Leadership Lab...

Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
Today's guest is Mark Berntson, someone I've known his entire life. Mark is a guitar teacher in West Fargo, ND where he splits his loyalty between the West Fargo HS Packers and the West Fargo Sheyenne HS Mustangs. Mark is a true connector, certainly through his music, but also by inviting people to join him for coffee dates and baseball games, all on his dime. Mark demonstrates the power of relationships in everything he does, including what he shares on his Facebook page on peoples' birthdays. Even his Facebook profile picture is an AI created version of him resembling Mr. Rogers (which isn't...

Episode 269 - Getting REAL About Awareness and Understanding with Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
I'm facilitating another cohort of the REAL Me: Intensive course and today's lesson is on Energy. As I'm contemplating our agenda today, I'm pondering some situations in my life recently that have shown me pretty blatantly that awareness and understanding are not the same. Awareness means we perceive the fact of something. We have knowledge about it. Understanding involves comprehension, perspective, context, and wisdom. When we have knowledge and even awareness but lack understanding, it's as if we are wasting the knowledge. We haven't come from curiosity and contribution but from telling....

Episode 268 - Getting REAL About Communication With Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
Often, the effectiveness of a communication exchange isn't so much what's said as how it's said. I've had some really amazing conversations in the past few days, some of which really surprised me. One in particular wasn't planned, and with that spontaneity a really enjoyable connection was enhanced. What are you noticing about the conversations and dialogues, discussions, debates, that are happening around you, with you, for you? In this episode I mention the Enlightened Leadership Lab (www.enlightenedleadershiplab.com) as well as the book "The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership" by...

info_outlineToday's guest is Dr. Pam Denton, a visionary expert in evolving organizational culture through a systematic approach that combines human-centric insights, AI-driven precision, and long-lasting collective mobility achieved through neuroenergetic reprogramming.
That might sound like a mouthful, but in this conversation, Pam and I break it down.
Pam's work centers on evolutionary leadership, and we talk about how important it is for leaders to understand and accept neurological reprogramming to eliminate toxicity in corporate cultures.
Pam shares her journey into her current work, and how she applies her knowledge of energy, vibration, and the nervous system to help people, particularly leaders, deal with stress and trauma.
