Conversations can become contentious in a hurry in the current climate; whether you are talking politics, values, or any number of topics. Everyone has the need to be seen and heard, but the skill of listening sometimes seems like a lost art.   It takes intentional effort to listen well, particularly when you don't agree with someone. The real problem is that when you become offended, you shift into judging the other person. And judgement builds a wall of separation and blocks effective communication.  "Change Your Questions, Change Your Life" is a book by Marilee Adams that I think should be required reading for anyone wanting to improve relationships at work. Her description of the 2 modes - learner mode and judger mode - correlate perfectly with what I describe as the high road vs. the low road. An especially helpful skill is becoming aware of which road you are on. The next step is knowing what to do if you find yourself on the low road. I mention Dr. Adams' Choice Map in this episode. You can download it here: https://inquiry-institute.myshopify.com/products/cm-dl This episode is quick brush over a deep and important topic. Don't judge me - learn with me.  Contact Beverly@BeverlySpeaks.com for more information.  Access Beverly's free gift of the audio version of her book, "Win from Within: The Heart of Success and Significance" at http://beverlyspeaks.com/freebook/ See you next episode - the best is yet to come!

Welcome to Season Three of The High Road to Leadership. Your host, Beverly Lewis, will focus this season on identifying and developing the skills you need to create job satisfaction and build a healthy workplace culture. Leading yourself well is the door to leading others well, so we’ll keep it personal. Who you are now is more important than who you were. Leadership is not so much about where you've been as where you are going. Who are you becoming? What is your vision? If clarity is your goal, you're in the right place. We’re going forward together!  What's in Your Pack? You are encouraged to print the leadership packing list here > http://beverlyspeaks.com/packinglist/ This list is one way to assess what’s in your pack and what you can do to prepare well for the future. Consider ONE attribute you want to focus on developing or improving. Then, be accountable to do the work. Accountability Challenge I challenge you to put the packing list, with the starred items you are focused on, in a place on your desk where you see it every day. Each morning when you come in, look over the list and focus on what you need to do to live up to your leadership philosophy today. At the end of the day, score yourself on how well you did. If you don’t want to do this exercise daily, then at least do it weekly. If you’re really serious about growing, give your list to those on your team and ask them to hold you accountable. Ask for feedback – especially if you fall short on one of the items you are working on. On a quarterly basis, ask them to score you on a 1 to 10 scale on those skills, attitudes, or attributes. Raise Your EQ Emotional Intelligence or EQ, is a quality in high demand in today’s top-level leaders. It is the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships empathetically and wisely. You can count on hearing ways to increase your EQ through listening to The High Road to Leadership.

When was the last time you strategically planned a pause that refreshes? I’m not necessarily talking about a trip or vacation. We all know we can pack every travel moment so full of activity that we return home exhausted. I’m talking about a pause that includes white space on your calendar. Time to think, dawdle, and rest. The fact is, a strong work ethic is part of my heritage and identity. I grew up with the belief system that you need to earn your own way. Get your work done every day and don’t complain. Show up early,  stay late – do whatever it takes. Working a lot, in my mind, has always carried with it a badge of honor. So was not taking any sick days. A mental health day? What’s that? I now realize how self-destructive this attitude can be. Life is far too short to spend all of it at work, even if you love what you do. Taking time for yourself is not selfish. Being kind to yourself is not being self-centered. Creating boundaries to protect your time and energy is critical. Add to that the fact that palliative nurses report that they don’t hear death bed wishes of people saying, “If only I had worked more.” Join me for an episode that addresses:  Do We Need More Time Off To Be On At Work?  How Vacations Benefit Productivity Two Reasons to Stop and Celebrate Four Ways to Strengthen Your Heart I'm taking a purposeful pause from this podcast this summer. I will be back in August. During this time,  I want to offer you an audio gift.

Thank you for listening. Your presence here means a lot to me. Have a beautiful summer... the best is yet to come!   

Catriese Johnson is a speaker, author, thought leader, businesswoman, foster care advocate, and positivity powerhouse. Her book, I Am the One I’m Waiting For, tells the poignant story of her early life spent in foster care homes. It wasn’t until she was 16 years old that she realized her biological mother's promise to return for her would never come true. The waiting was over. Catriese decided she was the one she was waiting for. You would think this realization would result in the claim that she is a self-made success. Catriese declares there is no such thing as a self-made person - we all have need of others. She describes the teachers in her life as as heroes. She had more than a few adults who helped her develop clarity and confidence in her mission and purpose. The there are always the naysayers who speak negative words into your life. It was one such broker in the real estate industry who declared she didn’t have the capability of being an excellent realtor. She used  those words intended to break her for breakthrough and in 2021 was recognized as Realtor of the year in her area. She comments, "success in real estate is not about how much money you make and how many deals you close. It’s about how many lives you impact". Catriese speaks with wisdom learned in hard places about leaning into discomfort. Uncomfortable places lead to new spaces, according to Catriese. She admonishes listeners to embrace the valley moments. All of us have to visit the valley and it’s in the valley we learn how to reign on the mountain tops. Pain is part of the process of growth and none of us can escape going through it.  Resilience is about continuing to believe for the best and press in to lay hold of the beauty of your calling. Catriese is walking it out. You can learn more at Catrieselive.com. You can find her on Facebook at  https://www.facebook.com/CatrieseLive.

Some of her tips include: Build relationships without being concerned if they are transactional. Protect your time, prioritize. Give up on perfectionism Ask for help. Be laser focused on your mission. Always ask the question: does this align with our mission? Break down borders and link arms with your neighbors. United we grow.

The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime. Is it unreasonable to expect that the majority of those should be happy ones? Beverly Lewis flies solo in this episode on the relationship between happiness and business success.  Despite a large body of positive psychological research into the relationship between happiness and productivity, happiness at work has traditionally been seen as a potential by-product of positive outcomes at work, rather than a pathway to business success. But things have changed. Purpose and fulfillment are the new success indicators for a new generation. Employee happiness can be influenced by two factors: the organizational culture and employees’ mindset. These factors form an intricate link. Today's focus is on personal mindset and Beverly discusses seven strategies for improving your own outlook.  The seven strategies are: 1. Always have something to look forward to. "There are times when dreams sustain us more than facts."  2. Physical exercise boosts endorphins, oxygenates the brain, and combats depression. According to a new review of research about good moods and physical activity, people who work out even once a week or for as little as 10 minutes a day tend to be more cheerful than those who never exercise. And any type of exercise may be helpful. 3. Appreciation – everyone responds to appreciation. Give more compliments.  4. Spend at least 30 minutes a day doing something you love. A study from the Mayo Clinic found that physicians who spend about 20 percent of their time doing “work they find most meaningful are at dramatically lower risk for burnout.” But here’s what’s fascinating: Anything beyond that 20 percent has a marginal impact, as “spending 50 percent of your time in the most meaningful area is associated with similar rates of burnout as 20 percent.” In other words: You don’t need to change everything about your job to see substantial benefits. A few changes here and there can be all you need. 5. Implement the 20 second rule. In other words don’t strain your willpower. Make good choices easier to implement.   James Clear’s book, Atomic Habits, goes into this at length and is a fascinating read.  6. Be grateful. Researchers describe the relationship between joy and gratitude as an intriguing upward spiral.  7. Invest in building relationships. Beverly always appreciates feedback and can be reached at Beverly at BeverlySpeaks.com.

"Empowerment became a buzzword in business a while back and I have an aversion to buzzwords". This week's solo episode with Beverly Lewis addresses this issue by shedding light on why empowerment is a vital tool in a healthy culture.  Entitlement is the opposite of empowerment. Entitlement lives right next door to laziness and is toxic in any culture. An entitlement mentality can be defined as a state of mind in which an individual believes that privileges are rights. It’s a mindset that finds fault, blames others, and thinks the world revolves around one’s self. It’s quite the opposite of empowerment and will never lead to excellence. Empowerment, on the other hand, takes personal responsibility and raises the standard through practical action. Empowerment exhibits a strong work ethic and is more likely to be found reforming than conforming. Empowerment is selfless, entitlement is selfish. Empowerment means letting people bring their brains to work and allowing them to use their innate knowledge, experience, and motivation to contribute to the progress of the organization.  "The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." – Alice Walker Two proven ways to empower others is through sharing information and creating autonomy with boundaries.  Healthy teams protect their sense of empowerment by avoiding the Drama Triangle. In addition, teammates learn how to disarm the advice monster and stay curious a little longer, to cite the work of Michael Stanier in The Advice Trap. 90% of leaders identify with The Rescuer, and find themselves trying to fix situations.  An effective strategy that empowers others is to ask questions. Six key questions you can use to stay curious a little longer are:  1) What’s on your mind? 2) And what else?  3) What’s the real challenge here for you?  4) What do you want? (What’s the best case outcome?)  5) And if you are saying yes to this outcome, what are you saying no to? 6) How can I help? (What does support look like?) Beverly has a gift for her you - the special folks who listen to The High Road to Leadership. Her book, Win from Within: The Heart of Success and Significance is available as an audio book exclusively for listeners to this podcast.

Research reveals that the #1 indicator of successful schools, organizations, and businesses is trusted leadership.  Dr. Toby Travis is building bridges to mission fulfillment and well-being. His work on the fundamental value of trust is influencing schools, businesses, and organizations of all types.  In a recent Forbes magazine article, Travis comments, "When leaders, in an effort to build and expand the business, place the needs and wants of new clients over the wellbeing, success and support of their employees, it breeds distrust of company leadership,” says Dr. Travis. “A lack of trust in corporate leadership reduces employee engagement and higher turnover rates and negatively impacts corporate objectives.”   Dr. Travis is a fascinating speaker, teacher, and trainer. A few of his accomplishments are:  Author of the award-winning book “TrustED: The Bridge to School Improvement”available on Amazon.

Our world has fundamentally changed and this troubled world is demanding a better brand of leadership. The changes we're facing require a fundamentally different response. There’s a whole new way of living, working and winning. And there’s a whole new way of leading. Dr. Nadya  Zhexembayeva of the Reinvention Academy states, " Our challenge is not to survive until things stabilize. Our challenge is learning how thrive in constant uncertainty." It's imperative that we power into change rather than being tossed on the waves of change. This requires an attitude shift. We must see constant change as a feature - an opportunity to upgrade - rather than as a bug in the system.  The words of General Douglas McArthur describe the intentionality needed in our world today. "A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent".  How can you lead well if you're job description isn't one of leadership? Learn how to leverage the opportunity for horizontal leadership.   Discover the five words that open the door to meaningful communication.  Resources to help you as you travel the high road include a free audio version of Beverly's book, Win from Within: The Heart of Success and Significance.  To access this special gift created for her podcast audience, go to http://beverlyspeaks.com/freebook
