  • Today's episode dives into a topic near and dear to my heart: having difficult conversations. If you've been following me for a while, you know that every conversation we avoid is a missed opportunity for leadership and growth. Tim Ferriss famously says, "Everything you want is on the other side of a difficult conversation," and today, we're exploring that idea in depth. Joining me are Gene and Amanda Hammett, who are experts in leadership development and executive team alignment. Together, they’ve authored “How to Have Tough Conversations: The Framework for Great Leaders to Say What Needs to Be Said When the Pressure is On.”

    Gene Hammett is a leading authority on executive team alignment and high-growth leadership, having generated over $40 million in revenue across his ventures. He's also the host of the Growth Think Tank podcast and has interviewed over 730 CEOs to uncover the core principles of fast growth. Amanda Hammett, co-founder and CEO of Core Elevation, is globally recognized in leadership development and next-generation talent retention. She advises top executives and founders on transforming organizations and has co-created the Leadership OnRamp program, which helps companies develop managers into leaders during periods of hyper-growth.

    "There are a lot of books out there talking about how you need to have tough conversations, but the feedback we were getting for years was, 'We need that step-by-step.'"

    ~Amanda Hammett

    Today on The Rising Leader:

    · Types of Tough Conversations: Everything from performance issues to personal hygiene can necessitate a tough conversation.

    · Epidemic of Avoiding Conflict: Many leaders avoid difficult conversations, leading to costly consequences, both personally and financially.

    · The Four Phases: Understand and clarify, name the pattern, be direct, and, if necessary, exit.

    · Personality Considerations: Different personality types need different approaches for having tough conversations effectively.

    · The Magic Question: "What is the missing conversation that you haven't had yet?" This question helps shift from victimhood to solution-oriented thinking.

    · Emotional Regulation: Knowing how to manage your emotions is crucial for effective leadership and communication.

    · Presence is Essential: Being fully present during tough conversations shows respect and helps build a genuine relationship.

    · Learnable Skills: These conversation techniques are not innate; they can be learned and practiced.

  • As the leader of an organization, communication is almost your entire job: how you show up, what you say in a situation, how much you communicate, and when you communicate are crucial factors to keep in mind as a leader. The better you understand the art of communication, the better leader you’re going to be. But for many of us, when we think about communicating at the workplace, we mostly think about business communication—work agreements, products, who’s responsible for what, and key performance indicators. Non-business communication at the workplace can be more challenging, and it’s the kind that makes or breaks the relationships needed to be successful.

    In this episode, I discuss business and non-business conversations and relationship-building. I explain how non-business conversations create resentment when done poorly. I describe how the way we react to anything as adults is deeply rooted in our childhood. I also discuss why you need to trust your gut and share ideas on approaching someone when you feel like you have offended them—or have been offended by them.

    “Non-business communications are harder because they’re the ones that make or break relationships, and everything that we do is relationships.” - Mark J. Silverman

    This week on The Rising Leader Podcast:

    ● Business communications at the workplace

    ● Why non-business communications are more difficult than business conversations

    ● Communicating at work and investing in the trust jar

    ● Trusting your relationship Spidey sense

    ● Reflecting on how you react to various situations

  • You’ve probably heard about the Enneagram and wondered how it can be more than just a personality test. In this episode, Trevor Timbeck and Steve Chandler reveal that an Enneagram type reflects one’s systems and behaviors rather than their core identity, which can be a transformative insight for leaders. We explore how systems, not personal willpower, shape behaviors and effectiveness, discussing practical applications and examples emphasizing systems' power in leadership and personal development.

    Trevor Timbeck is a transformative leader specializing in love-based inspiration. As a coach and author, he’s dedicated to helping leaders identify and implement effective systems. Steve Chandler is a prolific author and corporate leadership trainer whose clients include Honeywell and Wells Fargo. Both bring a wealth of experience and insights into how leaders can shift focus from personal shortcomings to actionable systems.

    “Amazing leaders who have accomplished so much have a common denominator: they rely on systems, not just strengths.” - Steve Chandler

    This week on The Rising Leader:

    · How the Enneagram reveals personal systems and behaviors.

    · The significance of asking, “What’s your current system?” and “Is it working?”

    · The value of non-judgmental experimentation with new systems.

    · Examples of creating functional systems from messy beginnings.

    · The transformative power of separating personal identity from systems.

    · How integrity and commitment enhance system effectiveness.

    · Personal anecdotes on overcoming procrastination with effective systems.

    · The importance of shifting from a psychological to a practical approach.

  • We've all been there. The office is overwhelming, the to-do list is growing, and the distractions seem endless. Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your productivity is to escape.

  • You’ve probably felt the immense stress that comes with work and life in today’s incredibly complex world. We’re all searching for ways to effectively navigate this VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) landscape. In this episode, I delve into positive leadership with our guest Craig Dowden, to explore how we can shine as leaders and achieve exceptional results while positively impacting those around us.

    Craig Dowden is a highly respected executive coach with the Forbes Coaches Council, an award-winning speaker, and the “Do Good Lead Well” podcast host. He holds a Ph.D. in psychology with a specialization in business and is a certified positive psychology coach. Craig co-authored the book "A Time to Lead: Mastering Yourself So You Can Master the World" with Alan Malayle, former CEO of Ford Motor Company and Boeing, and Sarah MacArthur. His work focuses on evidence-based approaches to leadership and team excellence, making positive leadership a concept and a daily practice.

    “The only thing people see are your behaviors, and then they're going to make assumptions about what your values and beliefs are based on what they see.” - Craig Dowden

    This week on The Rising Leader:

    The differing schools of thought in leadership: operational excellence vs. positive leadership.

    Why positive leadership is increasingly vital in a VUCA world.

    Practical steps for mastering mindset and resilience to elevate leadership effectiveness.

    The challenging but essential skill of receiving feedback and turning criticism into growth.

    Craig’s personal story of being a coach who received tough feedback about listening and used it to improve.

    Understanding the concept of allostatic load and its impact on leadership.

    The genius of the 'and': integrating excellence with compassion and empathy.

  • In this episode, I dive into the importance of communication as the top skill you need to learn as you rise through an organization. Almost every conversation I have with my clients revolves around some form of communication—being more clear, direct, vulnerable, or authentic in your communications, or having to repeat certain messages to get the results, relationships, change, and connections you want.

    I recently spoke with Gene and Amanda Hammett about their book "Tough Conversations." Gene shared his magic question when coaching someone who's complaining about a situation and can't see their way through: "What conversation hasn't been had?" This question often leads to the realization that they need to give feedback, ask for something, or reiterate clarity through a conversation.

    "If I have a resentment, if I feel a resentment in my body, or if my mind's ruminating on a resentment, what conversation haven't I had? It usually means I haven't set a boundary or haven't asked for what I want." ~ Mark Silverman

    "The number one thing when you're going to be having difficult conversations is, you need to be grounded and present to be present when you're having conversations, because all of these tough conversations, all of these things are relationship building."

    Today on The Rising Leader:

    · Communication is crucial for getting the desired results, relationships, change, and connections.

    · If you want something, ask for it. If you're confused, have a clarity conversation.

    · Resentment often stems from not setting boundaries or asking for what you want.

    · Communicate your vivid vision of what your organization will look like in three to five years to align your team.

    · Being grounded and present is essential when having tough conversations, as they are relationship-building opportunities.

    · Many resources are available to improve communication skills, including books, videos, and dialogues.

    · Finding an author you like and watching their talks on YouTube can be a shortcut to learning new skills.

    · Effective communication is the foundation of leadership and organizational success.

  • In this episode, I'm joined by Navid Nazemian, an expert in executive transitions and author of "Mastering Executive Transitions, the Definitive Guide." We dive deep into the challenges executives face when transitioning into new roles and the strategies they can employ to ensure success. With a staggering 40% failure rate within the first 18 months, it's clear that executive transitions require careful planning and support.

    Navid Nazemian brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, having coached over 100 C-level clients worldwide. His expertise is grounded in research and his extensive coaching background, making him a sought-after authority on the subject. In addition to his book, Navid offers a 14-question quiz and a 31-page workbook on his website, providing practical tools for executives and their coaches to navigate transitions effectively.

    "Working with a qualified transition coach can de-risk executive transitions by about 50% or more and accelerate the time it takes for an executive to start paying dividends on the investment made in them." - Navid Nazemian

    Today on The Rising Leader:

    · The cost of transition failures at the top level is estimated to be 20 to 30 times an executive's annual salary, with potential ripple effects and significant financial impact on organizations.

    · External appointments into executive roles are slightly riskier than internal appointments. Studies show that external appointments are 43-47% likely to fail, compared to 34-37% for internal appointments.

    · Organizations often provide support to externally appointed executives but may fail to do the same for internally appointed executives, despite the unique challenges they may face.

    · The topic of successfully transitioning out of an executive role, particularly in the last 90 days, is highly unexplored, which is why Navid dedicated an entire chapter to it in his book.

    · It's valuable to be mindful and structured about the first twelve to eighteen months in a role, as the successor can benefit from these conversations.

    · The "double diamond executive transition framework" applies not only to CEO transitions but also to departmental leadership transitions, and is based on real-life experiences.

    · Leadership and people skills are critical for high achievers transitioning into major roles, as they may struggle to understand the impact on people's egos and security.

    · Tony Schwartz's concept of managing energy, not time, is discussed as a key strategy for leaders.

  • Think about this: before you turn 40, your body tends to take care of you. After 40, things change—you need to start taking care of your body.

I explore the implications of not just managing your physical well-being, but also paying attention to your personal relationships, mental health, and career in a way that sets you up for a balanced and fulfilling life.

  • Today, on The Rising Leader, we dive deep into the complex and often misunderstood topic of grief, particularly in the context of midlife. I recently experienced the loss of my mother, and my dear friend and coach, Diana Bonnici, highlighted that grief manifests in many different ways. We explore how grief is not only about losing loved ones but also about the various transitions and unrealized expectations that come with midlife. Diana explains the grief wheel and its stages, offering invaluable insights into how to navigate these emotions effectively.

    Diana Bonnici is a licensed marriage and family therapist with expertise in grief counseling. Based in Hawaii, she brings a compassionate approach to her clients worldwide through diverse modalities like Zoom and phone consultations. Focusing on helping people understand and process their grief, Diana empowers individuals to live more consciously and healthily through these challenging experiences.

    "Grieving is a healing process; it's transformative." ~ Diana Bonnici

    Today on The Rising Leader:

    · Grief manifests in various ways, not just through sadness or depression.

    · The stages of the grief wheel—shock, protest, disorganization, and reorganization—are not sequential but cyclical.

    · Midlife crises often involve grieving unmet expectations and life transitions.

  • Ever heard the saying, “You are the sum of the five people you hang around the most”? Today, I’m challenging that notion. You are not simply the product of your closest peers; you are more, you can be more, and as a leader, your role extends to influencing and uplifting those around you. In this episode, I dive deep into how your vision and personal growth can shape the dynamics of your environment, making you not a mere sum but a leader who sets a compelling precedent.

    In this discussion, I recount a profound anecdote involving spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle and the remarkable impact one’s energy can have on others. I also shared a conversation with a CEO about the inherent loneliness at the top and the necessity of finding mentors or peer groups for continuous growth, even for leaders. Let’s unpack why it's crucial to surround yourself with individuals who challenge and inspire you while also staying true to your unique vision and aspirations.

    “When you walk into a room, your job is to enroll people into the vision

    of what you want to have happen.” - Mark Silverman

Today, Shelley helps individuals and organizations thrive by embracing authenticity and aligning their actions with their core values.
