Leading Teams Through Chaos

If you are:

  • Seeking practices and inspiration to lead during this time of constant change

  • Wrestling with a tough decision that will have a major impact on your team

  • Wanting to focus everyone on ending the year with momentum

I have an awesome podcast to add to your queue!

I recently sat down with Bronwyn Saglimbeni, host of 20 Minutes with Bronwyn, for a conversation on Leading Through Chaos: How to Keep Teams Inspired and Engaged.

The episode dropped the day I was delivering a Breakthrough Offsite on communicating courageously to a group of leaders gearing up for the start of their organization's new fiscal year. As I marinated in the podcast on the way home, I realized my conversation with Bronwyn was the perfect add-on to the powerful conversations generated during the offsite.

As you look to put a giant exclamation point on 2023, here are three ways I can help you and your team:

  1. I can drop in to one of your regularly scheduled leadership meetings and expand on the insights in this podcast, connecting the insights to specific initiatives your team is on the hook for.

  2. I can design and deliver a Breakthrough Offsite for your team. Clients have used these offsites for strategic planning, "Big Rock" and objective setting, creating their defining story, and more.

  3. Have Bronwyn and me join an upcoming event you're planning. Put us on stage with two chairs and a microphone, and we'll bring this podcast to life with stories, additional practices, and In The Moment coaching. It's a unique, interactive experience I guarantee will be the highlight of your conference or offsite!

 
 

Although this was my fifth appearance on Bronwyn's podcast, I did something on her show for the first time: I led Bronwyn through a guided three minute mediation. (Yes, you will hear some heavy breathing. That belongs to me. It's a good reminder to step back from the microphone the next time I do this!) The meditation helped center me at the start of our conversation, and I hope it does the same for you. You'll also hear me share this beautiful  passage from one of my meditations on the day of our recording:
 

"We no longer have time to waste. All of us can begin to have a deeper appreciation of each day and of the people we love. We can approach each day with greater zest and a deeper sense of meaning. Today, I treat time and people as precious."
