Skippy Cast 2: You Aren't Meeting the Standard
In my continuing series collaborating with my AI buddy Skippy, this cast digs into the second form of fear of failure, not meeting the standard. i am sure we have all felt this one at one time or another. Your manager calls you into their office to have a serious chat. Maybe there is an HR representative present. They look you in the eye and say, "there is no easy way to say this so i'm just going to put it out there. You aren't meeting the standards of the role". What do you do? Your worst nightmare is becoming...

Goal Achievement: FAQ Part 5
in this cast we explore many of the questions that come up around goal setting and achievement and how to overcome some of the inevitable barriers you may face.
Goal Achievement: Work Breakdown Structure Part 4
its one thing to set a quality goal, its wholly another to achieve it. Many people ultimately fail in their goal aspirations because they don't understand how to translate the idea of a goal into an action plan whereby you can achieve a goal. We explore in this cast the project management approach of the work breakdown structure and how through this logical approach you can stack the odds of success in your favor. We walk through two examples of exactly how to break a goal down to build an action plan in this cast.
Goal Achievement: Goal Integration Part 3
In our continuing series on goal setting and achievement this episode starts to look at how you can integrate goals into a successful life and career enhancing process. We feature a tool for setting professional goals when your organization lacks a formal strategic process or leadership in the form of a clear vision and values.
Goal Achievement: Goal Support Nuts & Bolts of Achievement Part 2
Books I referred to
Charles Duhigg The Power of Habit

Walking into any Room
In this episode friend of the show and leadership coach extraordinaire, Shelli Hendricks and I explore the presence required to enter a room as a leader. We cover self awareness, intention, executive presence as well as the practical where to put and how to contribute. I know you will find this show infinitely practical as you consider the standing meetings you are are part of. Side note my audio engineer Brad has accepted a new position as a producer and will be departing the show. I wish him nothing but the best and completely appreciate his dedication and work ethic...
Adversity and Leadership
Note: If you listened to the cast early you might have noticed i uploaded the pre-edit file. Apologies for that... In this cast we explore the idea of adversity and how to address it. For me adverse circumstances, situation, and relationships are the very problems we as leaders face every day. With this in mind we can apply a problem solving mindset and work our way through. This cast offers a process for doing so.
Stress... Friend or Foe?
in this cast i quoted "Plans are useless, planning is everything" This quote comes from the 34th President of the USA Dwight D Eisenhower
