Ways to Invest in your Leaders in 2023
As 2022 is now over, and all the hope and optimism of 2023 is standing before us, we wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect on three of our favorite podcast episodes from the past 12 months. Today’s episode contains three snippets from longer conversations focusing on helping leaders transform how they express their beauty and brilliance.
As we charge into the new year, we imagine a place where people feel connected and a certainty of purpose emerges. We believe people are the most important focus of attention and investment. As you think about what you want to accomplish this year and maybe what your team wants to accomplish, we’d love to be one of the many resources you engage in making your goals a reality.
The Four L Model of Leadership
On this episode of the podcast, Brian Schubring and I talk about what it takes to reach that next level of leadership fitness. We call it becoming Leadership Lean. During this time of year, January, many people—maybe even you—set goals, especially those involving fitness and other health-related pursuits. This could be exercising, eating better, trying to accomplish a specific achievement or milestone, or perhaps, just trying to incorporate more movement into your daily life. Whatever your goals, they all involve disciplined learning and unlearning of certain behaviors. This is true of anything you want to be better at, be it parenting, podcasting, or the pursuit of your lofty goals. We need to move beyond the space we’re currently in and move into an area that’s a little scary. In this episode, we explore and unpack what it takes to become Leadership Lean. Brian shares his four L model which includes Listening, Leaning, Learning, and Leading.
Reflections on Being Present
It’s the end of the year 2022, and as Brian, Linda, and I were reflecting on what we wanted to discuss for our last episode of the year, we hit record and it led to this wonderful conversation. The theme of this episode is the idea of authentic connection, purposeful connection, and understanding the why behind what we’re doing.
This isn’t a scripted episode about the top three things to do with Strengths on your team. It’s more of a conversation about pausing. So here it is, our final episode of the year. We hope you have a great holiday season and will see you in the new year. Cheers!
