#50 Making the Great Resignation the Great Retention

2:09 Walking in and being judgmental and pointing out all the stuff that is easy to point out, like these guys that are perpetual list makers.   2:55 We would not tell you what to do unless we are willing to do it ourselves.   3:32 Think of we are always learning and don’t have all the answers but have enough to get started.   3:53 Holding people accountable holding we accountable is all part of the right outcome.   4:12 How the heck did they get here? What’s so wrong that here’s where we’re at? Why did the emotion of a situation get so elevated?   5:39 Make sure we protect the customer and support the employees of that organization   7:14 Often times we are not given all the tools to be successful, then find a way 12:52 Finding a way forward that is meaningful for everyone involved.   15:12 The experience and bandwidth to lend that type of help that s truly required is something I know that at Crossover we work on, the speed and precision.   16:57 It’s not necessary to say you know how you are going to help me, its why you think you can help me.   18:51 That first step on somebody realizing and recognizing that they potentially need help is a hug step and courageous.   25:11 Authentic self and how you show up today is extremely important

#43 Coaching: When You’re Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired

 Hey, I have something to tell you, but don’t tell anyone! That makes me question whether I can trust you moving forward. Joe Johnson introduction Being Mindful of your Actions in what you Say and Do. Letting someone know of what’s to come. Why share it? Why now? What will be gained? What are the risks and burdens you put on others by sharing what you know? Transparency and truthfulness vs. letting the cat out of the bag. Who is it about? You OR them? Keeping those lips sealed When do you have the license to share information? That’s for those that need to know – and you’re not one of them. Kind? Perhaps more than you know. We lean in and want to be friends, but now it’s a burden to contain it within Respect for each other in honoring known information. Confiding in others can result in feeding the rumor mill. A serious risk in eroding trust Hey! Why don’t you tell me? Here’s why… and thanks for sparing me the angst. When we’re in the know, sometimes our Pride wants others to know we’re in the know. When you forget you’re operating with ‘confidential’ information you are compromising everything Leaders take the burden! What are the motivations for sharing? Mindfulness advice on when/what to share. What’s to be Gained vs. what’s the Risk. Considering the impact on trust Is there a back door to ‘your safe’? Check your Pride. Keeping front of mind and what’s important. Self-awareness: being empathetic, authentic, and just smile It’s a battle of the mind – is it really about “the people”? Mastered it or learned from it. A dose of humility. How do you build trust if you can’t share the message?
