Escaping the Trap of the High-Achiever

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 14:00:00 -0500

As an Executive Coach, I've noted that when many high-achievers are faced with challenges they will double down on whatever they have done habitually to achieve their current level of success. This works very well until... it doesn't... but that doesn't mean that they ease off and step back to try to figure out what to do differently. In fact, their confidence will often take a hit because they thought they had a "formula" for success and are disappointed (in themselves) that they aren't achieving in the way that they had previously.

In today's episode, I'll share insights around the addiction that most high-achievers suffer from, at least until they understand it and consciously free themselves from its grip. I share exercises on how anyone can learn to trust themselves more and find the path to success, and also happiness.

Finding Comedy in the Chaos of Parenting While Working with Gonzo Parent Jay Rooke

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 01:00:00 -0500

Jay Rooke is the founder of Gonzo Parenting, a comedic and cathartic Facebook community to help parents laugh and heal with like-minded moms and dads. Jay writes a comic strip called Gonzo Parenting, and his book by the same titled is expected to be released in late 2022.

He lives with his wife and seven-year-old boy/girl twins in Sonoma, CA. He can often be found enjoying time with his family, in the middle of telling a really good story or making delicious meals (that his kids will surely not eat).

Jay has spoken at Amazon, he’s been the keynote presenter for various tech companies, and served as the emcee for numerous non-profit fundraising events. His podcasts have over 60,000 downloads and over 1,000 five-star reviews; Jay’s podcast was chosen as an “Editor’s Pick” by Podcast Magazine, and he was selected as a podcast Icon of Influence by the New Media Summit.

Is Workplace Bullying Legal? And How to Deal with It When It Happens to You

Thu, 11 Aug 2022 01:00:00 -0500

This is the 2nd episode in a series on the topic of workplace bullying that I'm partnering on with Lisa Edmondson and our guests are Deb Falzoi, Kalyani Pardashi, and Joangel Concepcion.

On this episode we'll learn where the law protects employees from workplace bullying and, surprisingly, where it doesn't. We'll also look at what you can do if you are the victim of a toxic boss or workplace bully.

Here are the guest biographies:

Joangel Conception: Joangel is a toxic workplace survivor who focuses on empowering employees to make positive changes in their lives. Joangel is also a former journalist and a published author. Her experience, on and off-air gives Joangel the knowledge and expertise to motivate any individual, organization, or business to make positive changes in the workplace. She is committed to combining her media skills and passion for workplace fairness -- to help put an end to bullying, harassment, discrimination, and racism worldwide. Joangel's experience led her to develop a mobile app that helped keep track of unwelcome behavior, uncomfortable situations, and overall wellness in a secure, private place. As of the date of release of this podcast, the app has been discontinued.

Why Quiet is Key to Success in Business Today with Author Joe McCormack

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 01:00:00 -0500

Joe McCormack is on a mission to help organizations master lean communication. In an age of shrinking attention spans, non-stop interruptions, and floods of information, the messages business and military leaders send out are getting lost in a sea of words.

An experienced marketing executive, successful entrepreneur and author, Joe is recognized for his work in narrative messaging and strategic communications. His book, “BRIEF: Make a Bigger Impact by Saying Less” tackles the timeliness of the “less is more” mandate. He speaks at diverse industry and client forums on the topics of brevity, storytelling, change and leadership. His latest book, “NOISE: Living and leading when nobody can focus” continues this conversation and addresses the challenge of how to focus when the brain is bombarded by external and internal noise.

A passionate leader, he founded The BRIEF Lab in 2013 after years dedicated to developing and delivering a unique curriculum on executive communications for U.S. Army Special Operations Command (Ft. Bragg, NC). He actively counsels military leaders and senior executives on effective, efficient communication and produces a weekly podcast series called “Just Saying.” The BRIEF Lab’s mission is to help organizations master concise communication to improve operational efficiency and effectiveness.

His clients include Mastercard, Grainger, Boeing, Harley-Davidson, TransUnion, BMO Harris Bank, DuPont and a variety of U.S. military units.

Previously, he served as SVP, Corporate Marketing at Ketchum, a top-five marketing agency in Chicago, where he directed its corporate marketing practice and introduced new service models to enhance messaging and deepen relationships with market influencers.

He received a BA in English Literature from Loyola University of Chicago where he graduated with honors. He is fluent in Spanish and has broad international experience. He lives in suburban Chicago and Pinehurst, NC.

An American Entrepreneur Working from Ecuador with Ex-Pat Ghostwriter Lynne Klippel

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 09:00:00 -0500

Lynne Klippel is a ghostwriter and publisher, most often found behind her computer. However, when she's not working, you'll find her in bookstores, traveling, or reading a great book. She's worked as a publisher and ghostwriter since 2002, publishing more than 400 books for happy writers and ghostwriting 45 non-fiction books for smart people with valuable legacies.

Lynne started to read before she could speak in sentences. Her love of adventure brought her to a dirt road high in the mountains of Ecuador, where she's lived and worked since 2012. Sometimes llamas visit her. Lynne describes herself as a classic nerd who loves learning, ideas, and creating. Her superpower is listening for what makes each person magical. Her many years in theatre have given her powerful tools for ghostwriting, especially when it comes to creating a unique writing voice for her clients.

Lynne grew up on a farm in Minnesota with old-school values -- work hard, be kind, tell the truth, and help others. School was easy for her and she went up through the PhD level, until she realized she'd rather write books instead of a dissertation. She's proud mom of three sons.

Finding Your Leadership Voice to Communicate Effectively with Everyone You Lead

Wed, 27 Jul 2022 16:00:00 -0500

THE 5 VOICES

Here's the big idea... Everyone has a leadership voice, whether they know it or not. From the most quiet to the most gregarious, we all have the ability to lead others.

The problem is... Most people don’t know their leadership voice or how to use it. Some don’t know what it is, others are insecure in their voice and have been told it is unimportant, and others immaturely overuse their voice and dominate the airwaves.

Welcome to the 5 Voices... The 5 Voices is designed to help every individual discover their leadership voice and be empowered to use it effectively.

We believe teams and whole organizations can be transformed when everyone operates securely in their own voice and learns to value the voices of others.

To take the assessment for FREE, go to coachterry.giantos.com/store and scroll down to the Assessments section of the website then click on the 5 Voices Assessment to begin.
