In this final episode of the Home & Work Connected Series, Rob interviews Heath Slawner on the topic of organizational culture. Heath works alongside some of the business world's leading thinkers and researchers (including Simon Sinek's team) to uncover how leaders can bring teams together to achieve extraordinary results. What do all great organizations have in common, whether they realize it or not? How do we consistently and effectively get people to listen, follow, buy-in, and take the next step?

Heath Slawner - YOUR CULTURE (S2:E8)

Organizations often fail to have, or capitalize on a corporate vision that can positively and constructively inspire, energize, and inform leaders and teams. How can you get better at transitioning from transactional to transformational and turning both you employees and customers into ambassadors? Rob Murray talks with Bob Westfall on this episode about navigating this type of organizational change, which starts with learning how to build an intellectual, emotional, and transformational case.

Bob Westfall - YOUR ORGANIZATION (S2:Ep7)

It has been well established that Purpose is an essential human need. It is easy to forget this when considering team culture. Rob Murray & Brad Stinson talk in this episode about the incredible opportunity that exists for leaders, teams, and organizations who seek to intentionally recover and align around Purpose both at work and home.  Purpose can be nurtured by discovering out what inspires teams, identifying their unique gifts, and fostering an environment of empowerment and growth.  Brad shares about when he stopped trying to help teams hit a number, complete a project, or meet a budget but instead started with assisting them in clarifying Purpose. 

Brad Stinson - YOUR TEAM (S2:Ep6)

While recovery from a leadership crash is usually possible, what if we could instead learn to recognize the prior warning signs and intervene before it happens at all? Join Rob Murray with Dr. Stephen Mansfield in this first episode of part two on the Home & Work Connected series, where they talk about ten very common behaviors that are almost always evident in the downward journey of a leader. Stephen reminds us that becoming aware of just a few of these could save millions of dollars, years of humiliation, hundreds and sometimes thousands of jobs, and much-lost good that might have been done.

Dr. Stephen Mansfield - YOUR LEADERSHIP (S2:Ep5)

There are limitations to what parents, communities, and governments can, and should even do in an attempt to shelter and protect young people from being bullied. However, children are not powerless to solve their social problems yet that’s become a foundational premise in our society. Rob Murray spends time with Brooks Gibbs on the Talk of Change Podcast (S2 Ep4) to explore an approach that seeks to grow resilient children, full of courage, strength, and awareness.  

Brooks Gibbs - YOUR CHILD (S2:Ep4)

Kid’s don’t need perfect parents. That statement is easier to say than to believe right?  Children, like a partner or spouse, offer a powerful opportunity to grow your capacity for connection. That growth can positively translate into other areas of your life, including at work.  Rob Murray spends time with Dr. Chip Dodd on the Talk of Change Podcast (S2 Ep3) to explore a less common approach to good parenting. Rather than overly-focusing to modify your child’s behaviors, what if you first learned to connect with heart, accept your own flaws, and resolve parts of your own childhood? What children need most is authentically engaged parents who offer them a place to learn how to be fully human in a hard, hopeful, exciting, and tragic world. 

Dr. Chip Dodd - YOUR PARENTING (S2:Ep3)

In this second episode of the Home & Work Connected series, Rob Murray talks with Dr. Sue Johnson, an author, clinical psychologist, researcher, professor, and leading innovator in the field of couple therapy and adult attachment.  Relationships: How can we enhance, repair and keep them?

Dr. Sue Johnson - YOUR PARTNER (S2:Ep2)

Nothing about your life is happening within a vacuum. In this session, Jack Nicholson and Rob Murray set the tone for this whole Talk of Change series by sharing from the intersection of the human and the context in which they express themselves. You cannot risk overlooking either sides of this work and home polarity when desiring deep change and transformation. Download the FREE change guides for this series at www.talkofchange.com To keep living we are required to breathe in, but also out, and then to repeat both continually. If you polarize (stop on either end), you die. Jack’s Human Systems Polarity™ has radically impacted the work both he and Rob do with leaders, teams and organizations. It supercharges the systemic potential for improving and strengthening the whole ecosystem, starting with you!

Jack Nicholson - YOUR SELF (S2:Ep1)

You do not live and die within a vacuum.  Families are systems of interconnected and interdependent individuals, none of whom can be understood in isolation from the system. Emotional connections, rules, and agreements have and continue to be forged within that system, usually centered around managing anxiety. Once the research view shifts from the individual to the family or work unit, the scene looks entirely different.  Listen in to this episode as Rob interview Dr. Kathleen Smith, an associate faculty member at the Bowen Center in Washington, DC, which trains clinicians, clergy, and business leaders in the practice of Bowen Family Systems Theory.

You Can't Escape the Family System: Dr. Kathleen Smith

This is an extremely personal episode for Rob Murray and his story as he connect with Jeff Schulte from Tin Man, a past guide and now friend, mentor, and coworker.  Many people live life alone, trapped in the prison of their own intellect, morality, and self-will. Despite being hard-wired for intimate relationships, our fear and shame keep us detached from our own hearts and therefore detached from the ones we love. We learn to cope. This is not living fully, this is barely surviving. If you want your heart back and more for your life, listen in as Jeff tells you the story of the Tin Man. No matter your situation, this conversation offers you a few steps you can take to start the journey home. 

If I Only Had a Heart: Jeff Schulte

Anxiety can often feel like you have a thousand-pound boulder hanging over your head, ready to crush you at any given time. In this episode on the Talk Of Change podcast, Rob chats with Jonathan Rios, focusing on this very relatable topic. We can often fuse who we are with what we do. Threats that challenge this arrangement can produce excessive amounts of fear and anxiety that can shake or cripple us. What could it look like to face your anxious dragons?

Facing Your Anxious Dragons: Jonathan Rios

In this episode, Rob talks with Troy Murphy, a former marine and chaplain for the Green Bay Packers. There are huge pressures on many of us at work to win! Much like the NFL, winning is often defined by whatever brings in the most money. For players to make the NFL is a massive deal, but then to stay in the game, becomes an entirely new set of different pressures. Join Rob and Troy in this episode to hear more about how to become a researcher of your own story, learn more about what you feel, and why you do what you do.

Winning is Everything - Troy Murphy

Life can be extremely challenging. It goes a long way in the healing journey to offer respect and purpose to those parts of ourselves that have gone off to war and need to return home. In this episode, Rob Murray interviews Janina Tiner about her experience as a certified IFS, Grief, and EMDR Specialist. Together they deliver conversation and encouragement that will offer you the opportunity to live your life with more calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, courage, creativity, and connection.

Good Grief: Janina Tiner

No matter how much you’re attracted to someone’s positives, you’ll eventually encounter their negatives when you get in close. In fact, the closer the connection, the more likely it is that friction will occur. But all conflict is not created equal. Drawing on years of counseling experience, Dr. Alan Godwin offers conversation and advice to effectively deal with conflict in various relational situations, learn the different methods needed for handling unreasonable people, establish good communication and healthy boundaries, counter old conflict patterns when they return, and get back on track. Make your good relationships better and handle your difficult relationships more capably by implementing these principles and steps. 

How To Solve Your People Problems: Dr. Alan Godwin
