(And Other Leadership Lies We Tell Ourselves) Spoiler alert: If you're waiting for the perfect moment to start leading, you might be waiting until the robots take over!

Geoff McLachlan confesses to winging it (and winning it!) while others planned their way to the top. Plot twist: Both worked! 3. The Frog's Guide to Leadership 🐸 Jeff Geier drops this wisdom bomb: A frog doesn't wait for perfect swimming conditions - it jumps! (Okay, we might be paraphrasing, but you get the point.)

Spoiler: They're not helping you look good, they're just keeping you stuck! The Bottom Line? Innovation doesn't wear a perfectly pressed suit, and leadership doesn't come with training wheels. Sometimes you've got to channel your inner Maya Angelou and do your best until you know better - then do better! Tune in for an episode packed with: >Real talk about starting before you're "ready" >Success stories that started with "um, maybe?" >The perfect amount of imperfect advice >A surprising number of frog analogies 🐸 Because perfect leadership is like a unicorn - magical in theory, but you'll get further riding a real horse! 🦄

  • Team Toxins Tamed: From Diagnosis to Dynamic Success with Geoff McLachlan

    Team Toxins Tamed: From Diagnosis to Dynamic Success with Geoff McLachlan
    Oct 30 2024
    In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and inspired by real stories of courage, we're tackling the elephant (or should we say the toxin?) in the room: workplace "cancers" that slowly poison even the healthiest teams. 🚨 Warning Signs Your Workplace Needs a Check-Up: 1. The Trust Termites Just like termites silently munching through your office's foundation, toxic behaviors can eat away at team trust faster than that milk in the break room fridge everyone's afraid to throw out. Learn to spot the early warning signs before your workplace culture needs major surgery. 2. The Communication Complications When whispers replace conversations and eye rolls replace dialogue, you've got a communication crisis on your hands. We'll show you how to restore healthy communication patterns without needing workplace relationship therapy (though sometimes that helps too!). 3. The Recovery Room After removing toxic elements, your workplace needs time to heal. Like any good doctor, we'll walk you through the recovery process - no scratchy hospital gowns required! Discover how to rebuild stronger, more resilient teams after addressing workplace toxicity. The Bottom Line? Just as early detection saves lives, early intervention saves teams. This episode isn't just about identifying the bad stuff - it's about creating an environment where good stuff thrives. Think of it as preventive medicine for your leadership style!
