IMPACTBANK: The Kickass Koach: Recent Episodes
Rox Bartel
As a Certified Executive Coach and Performance Consultant, I started ImpactBank to support executives in transition.
ImpactBank's signature system is called ON YOUR MARK... To maximize ROI, ImpactBank focus especially on the first 180 days an executives spends in a new position.
ImpactBank's the Kickass Koach podcast is designed to share stories--my own and others--to inspire, educate and encourage these new leaders to maximize and leverage the early days in a new role and AVOID the common mistakes.
Each week stories will be used to illuminate our shared experience and tips will be offered to get you thinking and support you in finding your own solutions.
Most week's will include a blog post or LinkedIn post to further develop the themes and offer additional insights.
In 2017, ImpactBank will be launching a PLAYBOOK for ON YOUR MARK... to assist leaders in navigating the transition and in support of the 1:1 and group coaching experiences.

We land on conclusions largely because of assumptions we have made. These are based on a bias. What are you assuming that makes THIS true? Bias is also the enemy of truth. We need to be willing to seek clarity to find truth. We must learn NOT to believe everything we think. In today's episode I examine how bias clouds our judgment in the context of seeking clarity of thought. We must recognize where our biases guide our conclusions if we hope to make rational decisions. Join me on the journey for clarity, NOT specifically on my path, but on the journey along your own path.

For what are you optimizing in 2023? For me it is for clarity.
When we fall into the blame game we cloud our capacity to see with clarity. Our language patterns can be a means to recognize when we fall into this trap.
Today the episode returns to the story of how language reveals and informs our mindset.
I argue that when language reveals a victim mindset we may be using blame to cloud clarity, unintentionally of course!

Optimizing for Clarity requires not only paying attention but remaining in learning mindset.
In this episode I revisit SOBs and consider the importance of challenging our own conclusions and perhaps biases. As leaders we must be mindful of not simply the message we send through our words and actions, but the message that is received.
The actual message is the one that is received NOT the one that is intended. THIS was a critical lesson for me as a leader. When we fail to dig deeply enough before landing on a conclusion, the unintended consequences can cause irreparable harm.

It is good to know what it is so it doesn't negatively influence your capacity to deliver on that for which you seek to optimize.

Be ready to let your hair down and soar like you are riding the wind.
FIRST get out of your head, which limits you. FIND your inner wild and enjoy the ride!
I refuse to sit where I am put and turn to stone. How about you AND what are you doing to fight this very common human trend?
AND, in this effort WHAT are you Optimizing for in 2023?
In this episode I reflect on the spirit of the over-sized mare I enjoyed as a child. She helped me learn what it means to soar with full abandon losing sight of time and expectations.

Flow State is a profound state of being.
A state of being that just may be key to me optimizing my clarity this year.
For WHAT are you Optimizing in 2023?
In this episode I reflect on how to use that childlike skill of engaging in mind-wandering. I did land on a few points of clarity to kick start my work this year. I am more excited about what I can learn from this theme.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." - Albert Einstein
For WHAT are you Optimizing in 2023?
NOT, what are your goals but rather what is the means to achieving those goals. Focus on THAT and the path to the desired outcome will appear.
I am optimizing for clarity. Clarity of vision and purpose to guide me through a difficult transition.
Optimizing for clarity I suggest, will help me focus differently on exercising my curiosity and imagination effectively.
I will continuously build questions and inquiries to fuel clarity. Questions like: what am I seeing? What am I missing in this picture? Who might be able to share a perspective that will increase my view?

"Curiosity has its own reason for existing." - Albert Einstein
Who are you? How do you know?
If you know yourself through your stories, experiences or accomplishments, is this knowledge limited to certain parts of your story or the entire being that is you?
Who we are or who we believe our self to be, determines our patterns, decisions and even our beliefs. Being aware of what motivates us or grabs our attention is essential to
How well do you know yourself? What if your feelings of wellbeing, that dictate the quality of your life, are also determined by how well you allow yourself to be seen? That starts with knowing who you are!

Walk with me and we'll explore how to expand your agency by building efficacy, optimism and imagination. Be fiercely responsible and accountable in meaningful ways. Build the capacity to examine your own thinking to turn every challenge into growth for a career and life you love.

CORRECTION: The Richard Power's book I references is actually called "Bewilderment".
Wellbeing for all, built by dynamic, fluid human agency using a healthy accountability and responsibility.
Specifically how responsibility and accountability is fundamental to building, supporting, expanding and sustaining our shared need and desire for wellbeing overall and for all.
The wellbeing of people, structures, systems and growth itself in every form is only possible at least at its highest potential form with a broad appreciation and understanding of accountability and responsibility.

What is the best design for the 21st Century workplace?
Who is equipped to answer this? NOT THE OLD GUARD, I submit.
Who will take on the challenge an iterate and innovate us into a new workplace that recognizes the importance of valuing every voice in the interest of expanding engagement, collaboration and contribution?
We seem to be arguing about in-office, remote or hybrid BUT the real innovation looks past this limiting thinking, if you ask me?
I joined the workforce, for real, in the wild 80"s and was shocked at how it was still modelled on a military hierarchical model with org charts and command and control at its heart. HOW HAVE WE NOT MOVED COMPLETELY AWAY FROM THIS?

What is your duty of care?
First, do no harm.
Perhaps this old principle or standard is the foundation of expanding well-being. As a leader, questioning your duty of care, may assure your principles are firmly based.
In this episode I speak to this foundation and two pillars that arise out of it as areas of inquiry: patterns of language and patterns of thought.

The nature within you that rises to the surface is the one you feed most. Do you know yourself well enough to see what part of you is surfacing in any moment and are you able to adjust when necessary?

I am not passive aggressive! Do I need to say it again?
In this episode I explore the importance of self awareness. Not one of us is without foibles and problematic traits. I have plenty but knowing them ensures I know when to accept the judgement of others appropriately and when to reject it.
How well do you know yourself? Do you find yourself ruminating uncomfortably when you hear someone label you in person, behind your back or in a 360? If so, perhaps more work on self awareness will make you a more effective leader.
Self awareness is the best place to start and then you can work on situational and systems awareness which I also address in this episode.

Systems thinking is an essential leadership skill.
Systems are all around us and we have learned to shield ourselves from individual and even collective responsibility by placing it under the column called systemic: systemic violence, systemic racism, systemic misogyny, etc.. As leaders we can do better than hiding our opportunities to grow and learn in this way.
In thinking about it I landed on systemic thinking and the mastery and discipline Peter Senge and his team of researchers at MIT outline in various books and articles.
When we think in systems we find ways to solve the problems created by and in systems. Isn't that our core responsibility as leaders?

Why do we think we can hide behind something being systemic?
We can't.
Our systems are a reflection of us and we MUST not be complicit to the actions taken in the name of a system.
In this episode I express myself openly on the recent drama exposed in Hockey Canada in the aftermath of the revelation of the 2018 gang rape of a young woman by 8 Canadian Junior Hockey Players. AND, I explore how leaders can not afford to be complicit and hide behind what is systemic injustice of any kind.

With true intentions and a deep emphasis on being fully present we find what is most essential to being and feeling free. And with this superpower, we can accomplish much.

Is it human error that erodes feelings of well-being or is it the way most organizations respond to human error?
In light of the recent Roger's Communication outage in Canada an analyst suggested we just need to design a response since human error is inevitable.
What if the culture/leadership in which the human error happens is the real culprit? Sure, build contingencies but perhaps we need to realize it is the real or even perceived feelings of unfairness in organizations that result in the biggest problems?
As a leader, take a hard look at yourself and your organization and ask yourself if you are creating an atmosphere that generates more human error than is necessary. If you can clean this up you will be the rare but amazing leader.

Why are we so willing to be prisoners of our own thinking?
Our patterns, habits and modes of thinking limit us; limit our capacity to grow, create and enjoy our life.
Ask yourself: what it you could think more clearly by: 1st, recognizing signs of your limited thinking; 2nd, noticing your patterns and habits before they hijack you; and, 3rd, building a strategy to respond effectively with agency and self-awareness?
What would that mean for you? Walk with me; we can figure out how the three C's will work for you:
- Compassion.
- Curiosity
- Courage
Stop blaming and be humble about your personal learning horizon and your thinking will improve.

Why are airports so snarled? What may be the lessons in the midst of this mess? Are you and your team or organization looking for where, in your sphere of influence, you can sharpen your strengths to improve or are you falling prey to short term thinking? Ask yourself: About what am I overly anxious? How is my fear blinding me and might a long term view help me see options more clearly? How can I own my feelings so they don't own me? In this episode I speak to historic experiences with inflation and high interests rates and a lesson I take from it. For a paper I wrote in the 80's I interviewed a landlord who chose not to recover his losses by increases rent. He said, "why would my tenants stick with me if I don't stand by them?" Walk with me:

What makes it so hard to accept full responsibility in the moment? Perhaps it requires practice? So practice. Reflect on mistakes thoroughly enough so you're prepared the next time you recognize a mistake, so you are equipped to own it immediately. It turns out leaders build trust when they openly accept responsibility. Ask yourself: Is it more important for me to be right or be seen to be right and confident or to build trust by owning my mistakes?

How do good corporate governance practices ensure better outcomes and support overall individual and collective wellbeing?
I'm re-reading Hannah Arendt these past few years. AMAZING how her thinking is relevant today. This week Canada's AG tabled a blistering report that actually related to some of my work with senior leaders. Good Governance in the small things can determine one's ability to lead successfully.

Our wellbeing is only possible with bodily autonomy. In this episode I share the story of a woman who fought for women's full autonomy in the 19th Century. Ask yourself, am I fully being who I'm meant to be and do I know who that is, so I can take the steps to become who I want to be or should be". May all women realize their own self expression and all men realize there is no need to feel threatened by our desire to live our life on our terms. After all, men have been living on their own terms for, well, forever. I hope men, rather than trying to put women back in old boxes to control us, will see our fight for our autonomy as a reminder they can resist any unreasonable expectations too.

If you could choose with whom and when you are engaging with others or free to work/be independent or on your own, would your feelings of well-being improve?

Expressing affection for and even respect for another, expands feelings of well-being in you and them.
Again I was inspired by the drama in Canada about the Convoy that has since left Ottawa. What drew otherwise law-abiding and reasonable Canadians to engage in sending a message. What attracted others, who wouldn't participate, to quietly support. What are the lessons to leaders?
I refer to fringe in this episode. I am referencing the most hateful elements of this convoy: the misogynist, white supremacist, anti-semite and homophobic elements that cloaked themselves in the pain and anxiety of others. Those openly calling for the over-through of a democratically elected government.

Our well-being is expanded by our experience of agency.

When we connect deeply belonging is the reward. One that keeps on giving.
Sometimes we struggle with this in our family but we often find it challenging in our work relationships too. The special sauce is the same. When we accept who we are and find a way to add value in being that person, our connections deepen.
The other side of course is doing the same for others to make the team one where by everyone belonging each member is able to add value. In this effort, a team becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
Podcast Tip: connections that build and sustain the feeling of belonging must invite so they can thrive on conflict. It is in the work this requires, value is realized.

Leadership isn't managing so we must stop confusing the two. Leaders set vision and policy. Their role requires that they stay above the trees. Without this view of the world or the current circumstances, very little will ultimately improve.

Each have a distinct role and both must be valued and acknowledged for the impact that excellence in their role provides. It is obvious when examining the performance of an organization or government. Podcast Tip: take stock of what your role requires and become aware of who fills the complimentary role.

Leadership isn't managing so we must stop confusing the two. Leaders set vision and policy. Their role requires that they stay above the trees. Without this view of the world or the current circumstances, very little will ultimately improve. Managers, on the other had, direct the details, the means to achieving the direction articulated by leaders. Each have a distinct role and both must be valued and acknowledged for the impact that excellence in their role provides. It is obvious when examining the performance of an organization or government. Podcast Tip: take stock of what your role requires and become aware of who fills the complimentary role. Evaluate whether you're staying in your lane. Build a strong collaborative relationship. As a coach, I support people in both roles so I see what happens when they move out of their lane AND when they fail to support the efforts of the other. Would you benefit from a thinking partner.
