Dr. Waltman - I would be very interested in some form of collaboration on this topic. On my channel I have been discussing aspects of this for a couple years and think your perspective would be valuable. Thank you for posting this.
Seconding Joseph's comment from last year. Really insightful discussion and it's uplifting to hear how much power such a simple process can have. I'll be checking out the IIRP's offerings for sure!
Happy 2022. Very effective tip. Thanks for sharing. The value of perfect communication is inestimable. Every good and perfect gift comes from the Father of Lights.

Do you have a similar story or experience you can share? What was your favorite quote or concept discussed during the session? Do you agree that we are in a state of "leadership purgatory" and/or that the narrative and paradigm need to shift?
Philosophy is a taking of a position of the thought vis-a-vis the problems which arise. And to define is to pose in such a way that the opposite of what is posed is excluded. To define is to discriminate. To have a vision which transcends the self and which tells others what it perceives to horizon in order to arouse the available energies, to channel them by a benevolent approach which avoids dispersion, towards achievement. The ability to deploy to represent oneself, the feelings of others, is one of the determining qualities.

My favorite moment from this interview - when Dr. Parry said "Don't focus on the accomplishment, focus on the becoming." Wow. Mic drop. What was your favorite quote, concept, or strategy shared?
Amazing insight into the power and simplicity of Listening Circles. Comforting to know that there are so many people out there dedicated to implementing this solution and that I too can participate and run a circle. Thank you to the IIRP for this gift.
While we can't make leadership or human resource management a truly drama free experience, Karen shared some great insights and strategies on reducing the amount of drama in the workplace. What was your favorite takeaway?
Wow! Michael shared some amazing insights into why empathy is so important in leadership and how we can all build our capacity for empathy. What was your favorite takeaway from the video? Have you experienced empathic leadership? Or the opposite?
He is a very great man, learning a lot with him! On that equipment thing on the gym, I could see his point in that! Thanks for the great interview here! ❤
Oh technology...wonderful for connecting us to amazing people and allowing us to have great dialogue, but also tricky sometimes. Less than optimal audio on my end, but the words of wisdom from Sally come through loud and clear - and that's the most important part of the interview! What was your favorite insight from Sally?
One of may favorite messages from the session - prioritizing profit doesn't mean you are putting money over people! Rather, it enables you to do the work you love, more effectively serve your clients and customers, and no longer have anxiety around your business finances! Take the fear out of finances, shift your money mindset, and appreciate the opportunities and freedom financial wealth provides. What is your money story? What were you told/taught/messaged about money growing up?
We all have different meaning to being courageous! Having the courage to confront your problems head on! Thank you for the discussion! Learning a lot here!
What is your biggest or most common stumbling block with goal achievement? Is it setting the goals? Setting the right goals? Following through? I learned through this interview that one of my biggest issues is finding the right accountability partner. Leave a comment with your biggest stumbling block and what you learned to help overcome it!
This conversation was packed full of tangible advice for business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders - you will want to have a notepad and pen nearby to take notes! Then let us know in the comments what your favorite piece of advice was!
When giving directions, you wouldn't just say "go north" and expect the person to arrive at their destination, but you also don't want to rattle off a list of unnecessary detail that will just overwhelm the person - think of giving feedback this way. You want to provide enough detail to help the person move forward and grow (be specific and objective) but don't overwhelm them with a laundry list of things to improve (and don't micromanage!).
"It's not what you do, but it's what you believe about one another; and if you don't believe that someone matters, you're really not going to hear them and they're going to know it." and "Act as if every person you meet has something to teach you." Just two of the amazing quotes from our discussion!
