KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Being good at change is a meta-skill that has a trickle-down effect on everything else. Get better at managing and creating change.
  • Questions are one of the most helpful tools we have as leaders and people. If we get better at asking provocative questions, we change our trajectory.
  • There is deep connectivity between nourishment and performance. It will take a business culture change that we need to do “whatever it takes” sacrificing our health and nourishment to actually create the results we are looking for. The science is there; business culture needs to catch up. There are clear answers out there and available. It’s about connecting with the people and beliefs that there is a connection and can teach it. Look to thought leaders that explore the topics. Dig in and question your assumptions and look at the work from: Raj Sisodia, Fred Kaufman, Amy Edmonson, Lisa Duerre, Google Research Project - Aristotle. People are looking for a different workplace environment, and this is a critical time to be asking the question about performance and nourishment as a business leader.
  • People don’t like change or loss because people want consistency and predictability because it answers the question, “Am I safe?” and when we experience change, it disrupts our answer to “Am I safe?”

Building a Thriving Human System | Kim McLaughlin

In this episode of Ctrl + Alt + Delete with Lisa Duerre™ - Make sure to lean in during these key moments in the episode:

[1:50] The world is not slowing down, it’s not getting easier.  No one is saying “I’ve got it all covered!”

[4:15] If burnout and emotional issues are showing up in your workplace, you’ve got systemic issue

[4:45] You need more than one tool in your leadership toolbox

[7:34] Tool 1: Asking people how they *really* are - and actually listening

[15:40] Tool 2: Setting boundaries - what’s yours to solve, and on what timetable

[27:50] Tool 3: Uncovering the systemic issues - what are you not talking about in your organization?

[34:47] Tool 4: Taking care of yourself so you can be there for others - then model the way

[36:43] How this demonstrates FIRM leadership

[52:50] Like it or not, people are at the heart of tech

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Start by checking in on yourself - How am I doing and what am I doing to recharge myself?
  • Then engage in the conversation with your people - How are you doing? Be ready and courageous to truly listen
  • Part of self-care as a leader is setting boundaries even as you engage your people - “I really want to hear what you have to say.  I have 10 minutes right now - what is your top concern?”
  • Build the language and mutual accountability into the culture to sustain individual and systemic wellbeing
  • Make no mistake - this is not fluffy “nice to have” BS.  It is foundational to a vibrant, sustainable high-performing organization

Bringing Intention Into Distributed Work | Karan Gupta

Bringing Intention Into Distributed Work | Karan Gupta

In this episode of Ctrl + Alt + Delete with Lisa Duerre™ - Make sure to lean in during these key moments in the episode:

[6:28] How the Leaders in (geographically) distributed work should leverage all unique differences to build a culture of flexibility / adaptability

[14:00] How to rethink the importance of sharing what you do about your work.

[16:50] Simple organizational / tactical ways to share, inform and acknowledge.

[21:40] The importance of being intentional in how you design and run the meetings.

[23:10] Pick up a phone more often to build relationships.

[26:45] Revisit the culture norms with your team

[31:02] Creating a contagious organizational culture that is productive and engaging.

[33:25] People retention and resignation

[37:50] The importance of pausing and getting clarity on “what you truly want” before impulsively quitting the  job

[45:10] Align (connect with) your inner authority with your your life choices and actions

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Leaders in geographically distributed businesses should be paying attention to all of the differences that employees are dealing with, showing understanding and adapting their business practices.
  • When the leaders are intentional in how they design and run the meetings, they create time and space for more human connections at the same time.
  • Encourage flexibility and creativity of using all available channels and tools for connection and communication (in distributed workforce). Pick the right one, not the default one.
  • Have a conversation about the organization’s values and norms with your team often that everybody is on the same page.
  • Frequent voluntary turnover rates have a negative impact on your organization in more ways than one. By noticing signs of toxicity early, leaders can act and make organizations more attractive to stay.
  • Resignation decisions that are spontaneous and impulsive are often not in the best service of your wants. When you catch yourself in those thoughts, take a pause first. Get the clarity on “what you truly want” before impulsively quitting the job. Have an open conversation with your manager.
  • “Things are not as big, as personal, or as permanent as you think.”

Burnout Awareness for High Achievers | Colleen Hauk

Burnout Awareness for High Achievers | Colleen Hauk

In this episode of Ctrl + Alt + Delete with Lisa Duerre™ - Make sure to lean in during these key moments in the episode:

[3:15] New LinkedIn training coming out on how leaders can reduce burnout for themselves and their teams

[4:20] Tangible, practical things you can do right now to deal with burnout

[6:30] Awareness of your own stress signals is the first step

[7:10] What a Balance Board can teach you about burnout

[8:50] Why Balance is Bullsh*t and what should we focus on instead

[12:20] Lisa’s heart-felt story about reaching burnout as a new mom (and still not admitting it)

[17:41] Why you can’t (and shouldn’t) leave your emotions at the door before going to work. And how humanity at workplace is paramount

[19:50] The value of sharing your story, especially by female leaders

[22:35] Lisa shares questions to design your team meetings to combat burnout

[32:29] Informational interview model as a helpful tool for leaders determine an appropriate level of sharing

[33:37] Claiming your power back and making choices as a solution to burnout

[39:10] High-achiever’s burnout awareness 101 (Practical things that you can do right now).

[42:10] Non-negotiables and simple actions you can do to amp your self-care right now (it is not a bubble bath)


KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Burnout somewhat subsided in the workplace in general, but it is hitting hard in the middle-manager level.
  • Awareness and listening to your body are the first step to prevent burnout. Also, honest communication and ability of leaders to be vulnerable can help their teams to have sustainable careers and grow.
  • Leaders often think that part of their job is sheltering their team from the levels of stress that the leaders experience. This can actually do their reports a disservice by not giving them a realistic picture of the job the aspire to. When thinking about appropriate level of sharing, think what would you say in an informational interview about what your job is about. This will also help you build your own awareness of what’s really going on.
  • High-achievers are high-risk for burnout. They don’t  value themselves as they value others. High-achievers need to be intentional and build a muscle of taking care of themselves, let go of the things you don’t need to be a high-achiever at, and claim your power back.

Intentional Conversations in Leadership | Sarah Noll Wilson

Intentional Conversations in Leadership | Sarah Noll Wilson

In this episode of Ctrl + Alt + Delete with Lisa Duerre™ - Make sure to lean in during these key moments in the episode:

[1:44] Research and history behind writing the book

[3:08] Creating a culture where freeing, calling out, or preventing the elephant in the room is the norm

[15:49] Missed opportunities to communicate our needs and be able to connect more deeply

[17:12] Design of the book for a neurodivergent brain

[22:56] Three kinds of avoidance: aggressive, fearful, conscious [22:56]

[26:58] What’s at stake when you’re afraid of loss

[38:46] The role of self-awareness and relationship communication

[42:15] Self-awareness, re-calibration and changing the question or reaction

[44:35] Impact of knowing your intended outcome before any conversation

[49:10] The difference between good intentions and shadow intentions

[53:32] How do you know if someone’s shadow intention is speaking?

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

  • Don’t Feed the Elephants is about the impacts of conflict avoidance and how to have deep meaningful relationships in ways that don’t feel uncomfortable.
  • Building on the work of Conversational Intelligence, “our success is dependent on our relationships, and our relationships are dependent on our conversations,
  • Sarah explores how we can have more intentional and thoughtful conversations with ourselves, with others, with our teams.
  • When we acknowledge an elephant is in the room, we have a choice to free it or feed it. When we allow an elephant to linger, distrust increases and trust decreases. Team members become disengaged and disheartened. Creativity and innovation cannot thrive.
  • Before any conversation, we need to know our intended outcome. Pausing before entering the conversation to gain self-awareness around the initial stress response, self-regulate, recalibrate, and show up as a better version of you, as a leader and as a human.
  • As a leader, it is important to realize you don’t get to decide if you are trustworthy; other people do. To build psychologically safe work cultures, leaders must build trust by being open to feedback, becoming curious about it, take action and follow through with their team. Choosing to free the elephant rather than feed it.

Understanding How Gender Impacts Our Perceptions | Jay Pryor

Understanding How Gender Impacts Our Perceptions | Jay Pryor

Is what's on the on the surface the full version of the truth or are you making assumptions based on your experiences and understanding? For the people on your team who are saying "I'm fine. Everything's okay." Do you think that's true? Or are they just out of energy from constantly trying to be seen or included and its easier to give a safe, generic answer? 

It's time to talk about where in your life it might be possible that looks can be deceiving and how making assumptions is impacting productivity and engagement of your team.

Lisa invites her guest, Jay Pryor, to help all of us test those assumptions, question what we might think to be true and ultimately, live a more conscious life, with the ability to be fully present at work and in our lives. Jay shares a unique perspective on their experience living as a woman, a man, and now as a non-binary person. After a lifetime of experiencing bias and gender stereotyping from several different angles, they offer a solemn piece of truth about sexism and the extra work and energy required just be seen if you don't fit into whatever mold our society deems as “male.”

This episode of CTRL+ALT+DELETE with Lisa Duerre is the definition of a "No BS conversation", that unpacks the definition of gender, pushes the listener to re-think stereotypes, start inclusive conversations about gender roles, and create environments where all genders can have equal opportunities for success and empowerment.

How do you help yourself get really clear on what matters most in the moment, when everything is unpredictable? Because the world we are in right now is unpredictable.

I just want to say lean on in because we have a fabulous guest here today, Brian Trzaskos. He has actually coached me the last year, and he and his business partner Ani Anderson have been really instrumental in me navigating uncertainty as a business owner, as a partner, as a coach. And I couldn’t think of a better conversation to have today than one with Brian around really taking a look at how might we resource ourselves, listen to our own innate knowing and also block out all the noise that we need to sometimes be really clear as leaders in tech with so much uncertainty.

Brian Trzaskos is a somatic intelligence expert and co-creator of sensation based motivation coaching. Brian is a nationally recognized expert for his work in coaching and mentoring leaders.

Ani Anderson is the best-kept secret when it comes to mindset shifts for more motivation. She is the CEO of New Health and I absolutely love what she's done for my life and work with RLD Group. Yes, there's a whole alphabet soup behind her name because she's so incredibly educated. Officially, Ani Anderson, MS, OT, LMT, CEMP, SBMC is the creator of the Find Your Soul’s Agenda process and co-creator of Sensation-Based Mindset coaching. If we just left it there, that's only a fraction of what she brings to our conversation today.  

What Ani does is unlocks every part of your consciousness and ignites your motivation so success naturally flows into every area of your life. Dude, it's effin' awesome! (Quick side note on the personal side: Ani lives in a log cabin in the woods, nestled between the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains and Lake Champlain. She, her husband Brian, and their kids live in paradise where they swim, ski, play board games, savor amazing local food, and guess what? They ride a ferry boat to school! How cool is that?!)
