This is a tricky one for most of us. We know we need to open up a little so that we can build relationships with others. But, how much? Do different situations require different responses? Do different people require different responses? And how to factor in the power dynamic? We explore the options in this episode.

Your first impulse is to just up and quit because you just can’t take it anymore. And then you remember you still have to pay your bills and the job market is tight. So, what do you do that preserves your own sanity and well being? We get very practical about how to approach the various archetypal bad bosses.

It’s a new year and we wanted to talk about getting centered, in the flow, grounded in a clear headed sense of self. In other words, the fundamental ingredients for showing up as a great leader and team member. Listen to our conversation about finding your zen.

Did you ever consider that curiosity might be a superpower for leaders? Don’t you appreciate when someone is wildly curious about you and your ideas?

We thought that leaders were no longer urged to be more “charismatic” but our coaching clients beg to differ. We unpack what the hell this means and offer some alternative language.
