Episode 262 - Getting REAL About Being Unconventional with Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
In today's episode I share some current wonders and ponders regarding what it really means to be unconventional. The opposite is conventional, which means based on, or in accordance with, what is generally done or believed. Normal. Regular. Ordinary. What if that's not what we really desire? Or what we really are, deep down? What if we're more wired to be deviants? That means departing from an established course or accepted standard. The book I mention in this episode is "The Economics of Higher Purpose" by Robert E. Quinn and Anjan V. Thakor. I also mention the Enlightened Leadership Lab...

Episode 260 - Getting REAL About Staying Human in an Inhumane World with Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
"What does it mean to stay human in a world that can feel so inhumane?" This was a question my Facebook friend Patti Digh asked this morning at the beginning of a beautifully articulated essay she shared. And that first question got me wondering and pondering. I'm nowhere near as eloquent and poetic as Patti, but I wanted to share my ideas this morning. What are your thoughts? What do you truly desire? What are you willing to do to get that?

Getting REAL About Company Culture with Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
I was given advice from a colleague a few years ago as I left an organization as an employee to venture out on my own - yet again - as a coach, consultant, facilitator. He told me, "Whatever you do, don't talk about culture." I took his advice seriously at the time. But the more I've been back at my own business full time, the more crucial I feel this concept of company culture really is. Culture is the container that holds all of the organization's activities. It's not what you do, it's how you do it that reflects the culture for the people doing the work. Today I mention several books: "The...

Episode 258 - Getting REAL About What's Bugging You with Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
When I say "bugging" in the title, I mean what's on your mind? What's getting you uncomfortable? What's irritating you? What's not right in your world? Often those irritants are trying to tell us something, and we don't listen until they provoke anger and even rage. What if we learned to listen earlier? Not only to ourselves, but to others? What are they trying to tell us, even when the words they are using are clunky? Listening is an art and a skill we can get better at when we practice it. My mom used to say, referring to my piano lessons as a kid, "practice makes perfect." That's true when...

Getting REAL About Culture First with Chris Angell
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
John Maxwell says that everything rises and falls on leadership. But before leadership can move at all, it needs to be enveloped in a deliberate and purposeful culture. In this podcast episode, I talk with my co-author and co-host of the Enlightened Leadership Lab, Chris Angell, about our upcoming book and process we are calling Culture First. Listen in as we allow the conversation to guide us as we talk about who leaders become when the culture encourages them. You will see how the MasterMind principle (the best of each of us that comes out when we are in a spirit of harmony) shuffles between...

Getting REAL About the "In-Between" With Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
What is it called when you're not content where you used to be, but you're not yet sure what you want to be instead? Today I'm calling it the "in-between." And I'm going to talk about the restlessness and discontent that is part of the journey to progress. I've got a list of bullet points, but I'm not sure how we'll get from there to here. Isn't that the actual point though?

Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
Today'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.

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...

Getting REAL About Order in the Chaos with Jodee
Circle Up & Get REAL Podcast
Whenever the world gets me down, I remember that I've survived every single day of my life up to now, and I plan to do that for many days, weeks, months, and years to come. Working as I have for the past 22 years on personal self-awareness has given me so much awareness and confidence, and it has also tested and validated my faith and hope in humankind. Once in a while it's good for me to take stock of where my life is so that I can make an informed choice to move in the direction I feel called, even if that move is a coddywomple (moving purposefully toward a vague destination). Is there...
