In this deeply inspiring episode, we sit down with Sue Bowles, a childhood trauma survivor and the founder of the Dare to Believe movement. Sueâs powerful mission is to guide others through their struggles and help them heal from past trauma, including her own experiences with childhood rape and eating disorders. Sue is the author of This Much I Know, where she discusses how trauma can shape our lives and how we can reclaim our strength through faith and healing. Her work challenges listeners to live boldly and authentically, despite the challenges of the past.
A core theme of this episode is the increasing loneliness many experience in todayâs technology-driven world. Sue addresses how technology, while connecting us on the surface, has led to a significant decline in essential interpersonal skills. The over-reliance on digital communication has made basic human connectionsâsuch as eye contact and conflict resolutionâmuch more difficult, especially in personal relationships. This disconnect creates barriers to authentic interaction, leaving many people feeling isolated and misunderstood. Sue delves into how this issue is not just personal, but also affects professional environments, where communication breakdowns can hinder collaboration and productivity.
Another crucial topic is the widening generational gap in emotional understanding, particularly in digital communication. Sue highlights how younger generations, immersed in technology, may struggle to interpret emotional nuances in online conversations, leading to miscommunications that can exacerbate feelings of loneliness. This episode explores how assumptions about othersâ availability, fueled by constant connectivity, often lead to feelings of neglect and self-devaluation. Sue encourages listeners to rethink how they interact with others, both online and offline, emphasizing the importance of nurturing meaningful relationships in a digital age.
Mental health advocacy is another vital aspect of Sueâs work, and in this episode, she tackles the ongoing stigma surrounding mental health. While society has made strides in addressing mental health issues, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many still struggle to seek the help they need. Sue shares how public figures and influential voices can make a difference by opening up about their own struggles, which in turn encourages others to do the same. She emphasizes that mental health conversations must move beyond the surface level, especially in the workplace, where employers can play a pivotal role in supporting their employeesâ well-being.
In this episode, Sue also discusses how businesses can create healthier work environments by addressing mental health through comprehensive support programs. She stresses that instead of focusing on disciplinary actions, companies should aim to understand the root causes of employeesâ struggles, leading to a more empathetic and productive work culture. Sue explores how effective leadership can greatly enhance employee engagement and morale, as highlighted by a Gallup report. Simple acts of connection, such as sharing meals or fostering open dialogue, can significantly improve team dynamics and overall job satisfaction.
A particularly compelling segment of the episode focuses on the impact of self-talk on mental health and interpersonal relationships. Sue explains how negative self-talk can damage self-esteem and prevent people from forming meaningful connections with others. By transforming these harmful narratives, individuals can improve their mental health, reduce loneliness, and foster deeper relationships. Sue shares her own experiences with overcoming negative self-talk as part of her healing journey as a transgender and rape survivor, offering listeners a profound message of hope and resilience.
Throughout the conversation, Sueâs message is clear: healing begins with believing in yourself and daring to take chances, no matter what challenges youâve faced. She uses her platform to inspire others to embrace their stories, trust in their abilities, and use their personal experiences to make a positive impact on the world. Whether youâre struggling with trauma, battling loneliness, or seeking to improve your mental health, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for anyone on a journey of healing and self-discovery.

In this enlightening episode, we are joined by Sean Grace, a seasoned communication consultant, author, coach, and speaker with over 25 years of experience across sales, marketing, and leadership. As the author of The Art of the Question: A Guide for Seekers, Dreamers, Problem Solvers & Leaders, Sean has spent decades refining the art of questioning to help individuals and organizations alike unlock their full potential. His journey, which began with his studies in music performance at Juilliard and finance at Wharton, uniquely positions him to blend the creative and analytical aspects of inquiry.
Self-awareness is one of the most critical skills for personal growth, leadership, and effective communication, and in this episode, Sean explores how it can be cultivated through the power of questions. Drawing on techniques heâs honed from jazz improvisation and his consulting work with some of the worldâs most successful organizations, Sean guides us through the role of questions in fostering self-awareness. He explains how leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers alike can use inquiry not just to find answers, but to challenge their assumptions and uncover deeper truths about themselves.
As a multi-instrumentalist and award-winning musician, Sean brings a unique perspective to creative collaboration and leadership, borrowing lessons from the spontaneity and structure of jazz. He discusses how self-awareness, paired with effective questioning, can enhance team cooperation, enabling leaders to foster a culture of critical thinking and problem-solving. By learning to ask the right questions at the right time, leaders can empower their teams to think independently, an approach Sean has seen succeed in industries ranging from media to finance.
Seanâs consulting work is also deeply influenced by ancient philosophical inquiry. In The Art of the Question, he connects modern questioning techniques to the foundational methods used by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, illustrating how these timeless strategies can still be applied to todayâs leadership challenges. In this episode, Sean shows how self-questioningârooted in these classical techniquesâcan lead to better decision-making and improved emotional intelligence, helping leaders navigate complex and often ambiguous situations with confidence.
Throughout the episode, Sean emphasizes the critical role of metacognition, or the ability to think about your own thinking, in leadership. He introduces his â4 corner approach,â a method inspired by Sun Tzuâs teachings on self-awareness, as a framework for understanding priorities and improving communication in negotiations. By fostering this type of self-awareness, leaders can strengthen their interpersonal skills, better understand their teams, and lead with empathy and clarity.
The conversation also touches on how Seanâs book emerged from a workshop he created six years ago, reflecting over a year of research and deep introspection. In The Art of the Question, Sean addresses the challenge of synthesizing vast amounts of information into a coherent narrative, a skill thatâs critical for leaders and individuals who want to navigate todayâs information-dense world. This episode unpacks how questioning is both an art and a science, essential not just for problem-solving, but for fostering innovation and building stronger, more meaningful relationships.
Seanâs innovative approach to consultingâshaped by his long career in media, advertising, and the creative artsâhas earned him a reputation as a trusted advisor to global organizations. He explains how, by mastering the art of questioning, leaders can inspire creative collaboration within and across teams. This episode offers practical insights, rooted in Seanâs experience, on how to cultivate curiosity and use inquiry as a tool for driving innovation, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to elevate their leadership and communication skills.
By the end of this episode, listeners will understand how to apply Seanâs lessons to their own lives, whether in the boardroom or the living room. Through the lens of self-awareness, questioning, and creative collaboration, Sean demonstrates how the art of asking the right questions can transform the way we lead, communicate, and think. This episode is an invitation to rethink the way you approach your problems and interactions, offering a roadmap to personal and professional growth.
Donât miss this deep dive into the art of questioning, where Sean Grace, with his unparalleled expertise and background, will inspire you to embrace the power of self-awareness and inquiry in all aspects of life.

The episode delves into the pivotal role of leadership in shaping workforce well-being and driving organizational performance, following a prior discussion on workplace loneliness and sadness. It highlights that managers, despite experiencing higher engagement and a sense of thriving, also face increased stress and emotional strain due to their responsibilities. While leaders enjoy greater financial rewards and social status, they must balance their own needs with those of their employees, serving as emotional anchors and providing necessary support. Empathy is essential for effective leadership, but excessive emotional involvement can lead to burnout, underscoring the necessity for leaders to prioritize their own well-being. Organizations should provide mental health resources, encourage breaks, and foster a culture of vulnerability to emotionally support their leaders.
The episode emphasizes the significance of leaders recognizing their impact on organizational culture and employee engagement. Organizations with engaged leaders, who set clear goals, provide constructive feedback, and ensure accountability, typically see higher levels of employee engagement. However, contemporary challenges such as remote work, technological advancements, and the COVID-19 pandemic have led to declines in engagement and well-being. Todayâs leaders are experiencing lower satisfaction levels, which negatively impact organizational culture and employee retention. Effective leadership demands genuine commitment and visibility, going beyond superficial check-ins. Engaged leaders play a crucial role in enhancing overall employee engagement, which in turn contributes to improved customer service, productivity, and financial outcomes. The episode encourages leaders to take responsibility for fostering growth within their teams, engage in meaningful feedback, and share successful engagement stories to inspire others.
In this episode, the critical influence of leadership on workforce well-being and organizational performance is explored, building on a previous discussion about workplace loneliness and sadness. It reveals that while managers often experience higher engagement and a sense of thriving, they also face increased stress and emotional strain due to their responsibilities. Despite enjoying greater financial rewards and social status, leaders must balance their own needs with those of their employees, acting as emotional anchors and providing necessary support. Empathy is vital for effective leadership, but too much emotional involvement can lead to burnout, highlighting the need for leaders to prioritize their own well-being. Organizations should offer mental health resources, promote breaks, and foster a culture of vulnerability to emotionally support their leaders.

The 2024 workplace report provides significant insights into my well-being and sentiments from 2023. I discovered that 41% of employees, including myself, report high stress levels, and 46% experience loneliness, especially among those of us under 35. As a remote employee, I am 25% more likely to feel lonely than my on-site colleagues, revealing a gap between my desire for teleworking and the reality of isolation. Despite acknowledging my feelings of loneliness, I still prefer fully remote positions for the greater autonomy they offer. The report highlights how loneliness impacts my mental health, with research indicating that a lack of meaningful social connections can double the risk of mortality. I notice that younger individuals and unemployed adults, like me, experience higher loneliness levels compared to older and employed counterparts. On the other hand, hybrid workers, including myself when I work in a hybrid model, report lower loneliness levels due to more opportunities for social interaction. The text stresses the importance of genuine connections over superficial online interactions and the challenges I face in fostering trust and camaraderie in remote settings. It suggests that addressing my actual needs and creating a supportive workplace culture is essential for improving my well-being, advocating for a balanced approach to telework and in-person interactions.

Imagine this: I'm driving my son to college, and my daughter is in the backseat, completely absorbed in her phone. Out of nowhere, I spot a stunning rainbow stretching across the sky. I excitedly say, "Hey, check out that rainbow!" But my daughter, distracted, responds, "What rainbow?" She couldnât see it at allâuntil I handed her my sunglasses. Only then did the vibrant colors become visible to her. That moment was a revelation for meâperspective really does change everything!
This experience got me thinking about the transformative power of perspective. Just like that rainbow, the challenges we face can appear vastly different depending on how we choose to view them. In leadership, for example, the most effective leaders aren't those who avoid heavy responsibilities but those who perceive them as golden opportunities. They have a unique ability to turn what seems like a burden into a path to greatness.
Let me share a couple of personal stories that illustrate this point. First, when my dog fell seriously ill, it was like caring for a toddler all over again. Initially, I was overwhelmed with stress. But as I shifted my perspective, I began to see that time spent caring for him as a special opportunity to bond and create lasting memories. Then there was the challenge of helping my son move to collegeâa logistical nightmare! But once again, by reframing the situation in my mind, I saw it as a final adventure before he embarked on his new journey.
The same principle applies in the workplace. We've all faced moments where we're overwhelmed by a mountain of tasks. But instead of letting it crush you, try seeing it as a chance to shine, to grow, and to make a meaningful impact. When you shift your perspective, that mountain of work transforms into a stepping stone to success.
I challenge you to embrace this mindset shift for a week. Take those "ugh" moments and turn them into "aha" moments. Observe how it changes your outlook, your interactions, and even your productivity. Share your experiences, and letâs build a supportive community that thrives on abundance rather than scarcity.
Who's ready to join me? Let's transform our burdens into blessings and live our best, rainbow-colored lives!

In this episode, I take you on a personal journey of setting goals to dive into public speaking events, and the hurdles I overcame as an introvert stepping out of my comfort zone. I talk about the crucial need to push boundaries and embrace discomfort to fuel both personal and professional growth.
Through the captivating story of a young leader named Normie, I illustrate how stepping out of oneâs comfort zone can lead to remarkable transformation and success. Normieâs transition from a life of routine to taking on new challenges is both humorous and inspiring, offering valuable lessons about the incredible power of embracing discomfort for growth.
I share five key strategies that helped me and can help you push your limits and achieve growth: identifying stretch goals, embracing discomfort, seeking feedback, continuous learning, and networking and collaborating with diverse individuals. These actionable tips are designed to guide you on your journey to personal and professional development, underscoring the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone to make meaningful progress.

This episode delves into the theme of personal growth through stepping out of oneâs comfort zone, highlighted by two compelling narratives.
First, I share my own story of venturing into public speaking, initially plagued by nerves but ultimately finding it incredibly rewarding as I connected with audiences and received positive feedback. This experience pushed me to pursue further speaking engagements, showcasing the value of pushing boundaries for growth.
The second story from my podcast centers on Normie, an employee at Mediocre Corporation whose predictable life is turned upside down by Zoe, an ambitious intern. Inspired by Zoe, Normie steps out of his comfort zone and tries public speaking, boosting his confidence and leading to both professional and personal growth. These stories highlight the significant benefits of embracing discomfort for profound development.
I discuss strategies for pushing boundaries, including setting challenging yet manageable goals, seeking constructive feedback, and committing to continuous learning through courses, reading, and diverse interactions. Networking and collaboration are also highlighted as vital for gaining new perspectives.

In today's competitive job market, the emphasis on formal education has created an invisible yet impactful barrier known as the paper ceiling. This barrier prevents talented individuals without college degrees from accessing opportunities for advancement and success. But is the paper ceiling a symptom of a deeper issue in our education and workforce systems?
Join me, in this episode of "Tim Stating the Obvious" as I dive into the complexities of the paper ceiling. We will explores whether our reliance on degrees overlooks the skills, experience, and potential of non-degree holders. We also delve into startling statistics and research findings on the importance of college degrees in today's economy, the financial burdens of higher education, and the evolving perceptions of its value.
Drawing from personal experience, I note that organizations sometimes misalign job requirements with available candidates due to an overvaluation of degrees. I stress the importance of continuous learning beyond high school and highlights that educational opportunities can be accessible without significant financial constraints.
Through personal anecdotes and data analysis, I discuss the need for a continuous learning model and professional certifications as viable alternatives to traditional college degrees. I emphasize the importance of competence and knowledge in the workforce and challenges listeners to rethink the necessity of the paper ceiling.
A 2024 Pew research study indicates a shifting perception of the necessity of a 4-year college degree for well-paying jobs, with only 25% of US adults considering it essential. Rising college costs and substantial student debt are significant factors contributing to this change. Despite the financial burden, individuals with bachelorâs degrees tend to earn more and have lower unemployment rates compared to those with only high school diplomas. However, the long-term value of a degree is questioned due to declining wages relative to inflation and less attractive job prospects.
Tune in to understand the multifaceted issue of the paper ceiling and consider whether it's time to break through it for a more inclusive and skilled workforce.

In this episode we provide practical leadership advice with a strong emphasis on the importance of building a supportive inner circle and cultivating discipline over relying solely on motivation for success. Tim highlights the significance of surrounding yourself with the right people, suggesting that individuals become reflections of their closest contacts and should carefully select those who share similar goals and motivations. The text explores how different genders approach building supportive relationships and underscores the need for honest feedback from oneâs circle to make wise decisions. It delves into the debate between motivation and discipline, portraying motivation as a temporary drive and discipline as the essential, consistent force needed to achieve long-term goals. Discipline is emphasized as critical for success, recommending practical steps like setting SMART goals, establishing productive routines, focusing on key tasks, practicing self-control, and eliminating distractions. Through examples of successful figures like Elon Musk and Serena Williams, the narrative illustrates how discipline and motivation together propel individuals toward their achievements. The discussion concludes by stressing disciplineâs superiority in achieving lasting success, advocating for manageable steps towards goals, and encouraging embracing discipline to transform dreams into reality, especially during challenging times.

In this episode, I host our guest David Dusek, about the challenges men face in todayâs society, including the parallel between military and spiritual battles. We explore the concept of an enemy targeting men and underscore the necessity for awareness and vigilance. The conversation delves into the significance of leadership, the perils of isolation, and the need for leaders to have dependable friends to maintain a healthy work-life balance. David Dusek emphasizes personal experiences and the value of creating genuine connections through shared experiences to combat these issues. The discussion also touches on redefining accountability within the church and fostering relationships based on trust.
Why should you listen to what David Dusek has to say? His mission is to encourage and equip men to live their lives for Christ. He uses his life experiences â including his upbringing in a non-Christian home, coming to Christ as an adult, and an extensive business background â to reach men in a way that they can understand. Davidâs vision is to engage all men where they are the âother six days of the weekâânot just in church.

In this episode, Tim and Russell, discuss the crucial role of leadership in all facets of life, with a particular focus on emotional intelligence and its significance for leaders. The Tim and Russell delve into how leaders must manage their own emotions and inspire positive feelings such as enthusiasm and trust in their teams. We underscore the importance of psychological safety in the workplace, encouraging leaders to cultivate an environment where team members can voice unconventional ideas and bad news without fear. However, they argue that itâs not sufficient to merely create safe spaces; leaders should also foster their teamâs courage to engage in difficult conversations and manage conflict.
The discussion addresses the concept of emotional mastery, emphasizing the need for individuals to separate facts from the interpretations they assign to events. By understanding that emotions are a product of these personal interpretations, leaders can take responsibility for their reactions and work towards more constructive outcomes. Russell introduces the âresults model,â a five-step process (fact, meaning, emotion, action, and results) designed to help individuals be mindful of their emotions and choose actions that align with their desired results. The text connects emotions to actions, illustrating how misinterpretations can lead to unnecessary conflicts and stressing the importance of personal accountability for oneâs feelings.
Lastly, the podcast touches upon the idea of being proactive in designing oneâs life, hinting at a deeper exploration of this topic in the following weekâs episode. Listeners are encouraged to share and engage with the podcastâs content.

This episode explores the traits of a good leader, the importance of vision, and the challenges leaders face with fear and courage. It discusses how fear of failure, looking foolish, or discomfort can deter individuals from assuming leadership roles, emphasizing that these fears are natural and tied to social reputation and self-worth. Russell and I, addresses the growth mindset and encourages taking risks rather than playing it safe to avoid discomfort.
The concept of playing ânot to loseâ versus playing âto winâ is analyzed, underscoring the need for conscious decision-making in the face of challenges and stepping out of comfort zones. The text suggests that waiting for fear to subside is impractical, advocating instead for confronting fears and making choices based on personal desires. Anecdotes about clients facing and overcoming their fears highlight strategies to deal with fear, such as recognizing specific fears, avoiding catastrophizing, and differentiating between uncomfortable feelings and real risks.
The discussion also covers cognitive distortions like catastrophizing and mind reading, which can adversely affect behavior and decision-making. Listeners are urged to acknowledge these biases and seek coaching or support to address them. The episodet further discusses how self-imposed time constraints and comfort zones limit personal growth, suggesting that incremental steps can help develop courage by desensitizing oneself to fear.
Lastly, the importance of managing uncomfortable feelings and building courage to confront risks and fears is reiterated, with a hint at continuing this discussion in the next episode.

As we stand on the cusp of 2024, the paradigm of leadership is undergoing a profound transformation, shaped by imperatives of trust, adaptability, and a human-centric ethos. In this evolving landscape, leaders who embrace these pivotal shifts are not only better positioned to navigate the uncertainties ahead but are also poised to redefine the essence of effective leadership. At the core of this transformation lies the pivotal theme of trust and psychological safety. In a world marked by increasing volatility, trust emerges as the linchpin of effective leadership. Leaders who prioritize transparency, foster open communication, and nurture psychological safety within their teams empower individuals to confront uncertainty with resilience. This goes beyond being a leadership virtue; it becomes a strategic imperative in an era where change is the only constant.

In response to the ever-evolving landscape of work, a novel trend known as "coffee badging" has surfaced, embodying a passive resistance to stringent return-to-office mandates. This phenomenon, where employees briefly make a physical appearance at the office, grab a coffee, engage in short interactions, and then retreat to work remotely for the remainder of the day, reflects a subtle rebellion against policies that mandate a return to traditional office structures. However, the question arises: are these policies genuinely strict, or are they attempting to restore a pre-pandemic normalcy that employees are still resisting?
