The simple glue that is often missing in an organization?
Feedback!
But more often than not, feedback is never exchanged because we don’t know how to go about giving it the right way. Or sometimes it is exchanged but causes damage because of the way it was communicated.
If we want to get better as team members and leaders, we need to both correct what went wrong as well as continue (and amplify!) what went well. Listen in as Steve and Sundie talk through how to implement healthy feedback!

Coaching helps you get from where you are to where you want to be. There are many approaches to getting unstuck, gaining clarity, and growing into your potential. Most of them leave you unchanged and right back in the same place you started. Coaching is different. It works because the insights are tailored to you (vs assuming one-size-fits-all answers), and there's accountability to follow through on the action steps you want to take.
High-quality coaching is a unique process that creates real transformation in your life. It's not advice. It's not counseling. It's not consulting. Instead, professional life/leadership/career coaching is a powerful thought-partnership that uncovers the solutions for your personality and your circumstances.Through a series of strategic conversations with your coach, you will reach your goals with clarity and confidence.
Our approach to coaching works because it combines both insight AND action. We have the track record to prove it, and we want to help you get where you'd like to go. We have a few different ways we offer coaching at Greenhouse, so you can choose the option that fits you best.

It’s estimated that an adult makes 35,000 decisions every day.
These 35k are mostly small, or quick decisions. But, then there are also the bigger ones. Decisions that feel consequential. Decisions where we’re concerned about what others will think or how it will affect them.
One of the strongest tools to help is called Core Values. It’s an exercise in clarifying the things that matter most to you (or to a group/team), so you can use them as a filter to put decisions through. Today on the podcast, Steve teaches us how to determine core values with just three simple steps. Listen in!

Ever felt like you’re not quite an outsider … but more like an inbetween-er?
Interested in many things, yet fitting nowhere?
This is our story and the story of so many others feeling stuck in the fog of modern career navigation.
Longing for clarity… or maybe even confidence, in purpose and calling.
On today's podcast episode, Steve reads part 2 of a letter he wrote to you, the listener, sharing more of his story and how this summer of focusing has played into deeper clarity for Greenhouse and what we’ve been working on.
If you missed the last episode (#118), go ahead and jump back & tune in to that first.
We’re so glad to be back in the podcast booth, and even more so - to hear how this is all resonating with you.
Cheers!
It’s incredible, what happened when we started focusing…
You probably know that feeling. That thing that you really want to accomplish - that you know would really change things, if you could just get focused on it.
For us as a team here at Greenhouse, it’s looked like dialing-in and leveling-up our Monthly Membership + Community for intentional people looking to transition or grow in their career.
It's been an extraordinary season of leaning in and doing this important work that's been in the works for almost 6 years.
On today's podcast episode, Steve is reading a letter to you, the listener, about what we've been up to this summer and what you can look forward to this fall.
We are buzzing with excitement and can't wait to share it all with you. It mostly has to do with what happens when you really focus on what matters most.
Cheers!

There are over 6 million new businesses started each year in the US, according to the Small Business Administration. And even before the 2020 surge of new business startups, small businesses made up 99.9% of businesses in the country.
Part of the motivation for many of these entrepreneurs and solopreneurs is the desire to “help people”.
They know that much, but… now what?
This month Steve had a moment of clarity after breakfast with a friend. He shares:
"I remembered how hungry I was in the beginning for advice from those ahead of me on the same path. And suddenly, I wanted to share my “mundane” wisdom with everyone out there stuck or pressing through. So, if you and I could have breakfast tomorrow, here’s what I would share with you..."

Are you at the point of being done in your current role,
and wondering: "should I quit my job NOW?"
Is that even a good idea?!
Let's pause for a moment, and ask a few questions.

2: Why? Why do you want to quit your job?
You might be feeling the need to make an urgent decision, but the decision may feel less urgent after taking a moment to answer, Why?
Today on The Greenhouse Podcast, Sundie walks us through these questions, coaching through how to decide if it's time to quit your job.

You’d think creativity is all about free-flowing ideas, lightning-bolt moments of pure inspiration, and a steady stream of effortless bliss 💡
But the great news is that most of these creators’ ideas did not come in the moment.
Anyone can have consistent ideas and create valuable content if they have a process.
But you can’t learn and create if there’s not time to think. Which means it all starts with making time to think!
Today on The Greenhouse Podcast, Steve continues the conversation with special guest, Joe Wise of JSW Productions about how to boost your creativity as a creative, entrepreneur and leader - and ultimately, how to get more done!
It all starts with a process.
Myth: People who create stuff always have ideas & inspiration.
Fact: creators are not inspired all the time – they need a process to consistently produce.
See, you can’t force creativity!
You need to know yourself - when inspiration tends to come naturally - then have systems to consistently get yourself into that place, and capture ideas in the moment.
Today on The Greenhousepodcast, Steve talks with special guest, Joe Wise of JSW Productions. For the next two weeks, they're leading a two-part series on how to about how to boost your creativity as a creative, entrepreneur, and leader - and ultimately, how to get more done!

Stories matter.
Today's Greenhouse podcast episode is unique because we are sharing a story of one of our Greenhouse Network members, Susan.
Our community manager, Jacquelyn, interviews Susan about everything from morning routines during job search to the greatest challenges during this season and why the Greenhouse Community matters to her.
This was a wonderful and insightful conversation about Susan's experience and we can't wait for you to listen in.

We all do it.
Comparing ourselves to others - our life situation, what we have, how we’re using our time - and feeling bad because they don’t look the same. But what if we exchanged the judgment for honesty and curiosity?
What if it was more about being honest with yourself, curious about your wants and struggles, and aligning your actions/decisions with your gifts and direction?
These are just a few of the things discussed on this week’s episode of The Greenhouse Podcast, with my special guest - author, speaker, & coach - Nicole Unice.

Kenny Morgan is the Co-Founder and CCO of Counsel Creative, a branding, web-development and video production company based out of Chattanooga, TN. As a business owner, Kenny has found that taking ownership of your business niche is key. In that, he has learned that emotional connection is most important for brands to consider.
In their conversation, Kenny shares with us the 5 ways to build emotional connection as a brand, and why each are important. Kenny says that emotional connection is “...the DNA that should run through everything that you do." We couldn't agree more! The 5 steps he shares are:
- Perception
- Presence
- Visibility
- Voice
- Connection
We had a blast getting to know Kenny and learning more about this side of creativity and can't wait for you to hear this jam-packed episode! Want to learn more about Kenny and Counsel Creative? Check out the links below.

About Andy:
Awakening Wonder at Home Resources as shared on the podcast:
Several doors in my house are “secret passage ways.” To open the attic door for instance, you must turn the doorknob back and forth three times before entering. Never miss a chance to turn a door, walking path, or hallway into a secret passage. Tip toe through the door for added fun.
Our Amazon Echo Dot is paired with the Alexa app. In the app, you can create a routine based on voice commands. Each night at bedtime, when my 4-year-old uses the voice command, "Alexa, Goodnight,” Alexa tells him what she hopes he dreams about. I change this every day, often to something that references what we did that day. My son has now begun asking for that “dream idea” to be his bedtime story. Often times it’s something like, “I hope you have a dream about a giant ice cream cone that is 18 feet tall” or “I hope you have a dream about a purple cow jumping on the trampoline.”
We play a lot of dress up. A lot. Super heroes, Star Wars, astronauts, robots. As costumes can sometimes be expensive, we use household items like colanders, cardboard and spatulas.
We make a lot of homemade burritos. Not the kind you eat, but the pretend kind made out of blankets and our kids. We lay a blanket on the floor, then the kids lay on the blanket. We use stuffed animals and pillows as toppings, then roll the kids up. For a double-stuffed burrito, we roll both our kids at the same time!
During quarantine, we have begun making homemade board games out of poster board, stickers and markers. We’ll take a $1 sheet of stickers and make it the theme. Avengers, Frozen, Star Wars, etc. These board games are simple. Roll the dice, move forwards or backwards depending on what square you land on. We’ll use the stickers to create prompts like, “if you land on this Chewbacca sticker, you have to talk like a Wookie for 10 seconds.”
It cannot be said enough, read to your kids. And do the voices!
Today we’re sharing our experience of working from home in this season, and some tips we’ve discovered to help navigate it amongst new working, community and family rhythms.
[We’re leading this episode with the caveat: we don’t want to be another voice in the noise. However, we’re coaches, and we’re processing this with many of our clients. So we want to share a little truth with you: have grace, be flexible and try different things. It’s okay to listen, take ideas in and leave the rest; leave the comparison and need to do it all behind.]
Sundie has curated six tips for working from home; some of these tips are ones she has discovered, and others were created by our team and families. Remember, take some, and leave the rest!

Johanna is not just any life coach. Because of her adventures and taking bold leaps she is able to offer a unique experience for each of her clients.
Whether it was growing her career as an executive in New York or the on-a-whim move to Africa - it was a deepening in her faith that has helped her to take increasingly bold steps in her own life.
Since returning back to the US she realized how her story had the power to impact others as a message of hope. For years Johanna had been on the receiving end of incredible coaching and she knew now was the time to serve others. Over the last year, Johanna’s practice has taken off both in the US and Africa working with non profit executives, tech entrepreneurs, mom-preneurs and many more.
During her 10 years in Africa she had the opportunity to mentor and consult with business leaders and entrepreneurs - even publishing a book about the transformational work of the largest beauty franchise business in Africa. This experience solidified the desire to draw on her experiences and expertise to impact lives through on-on-one coaching.

Around here at Greenhouse, we’re big fans of taking the [idea] of goals and shifting that energy towards intentions.
You see, intentions give us permission to crawl when the world is telling us to run a marathon.
Intentions set our eyes on what really matters: small, consistent steps to reach our vision over time.
Tune in for today's podcast to hear more of Steve's thoughts on this!
A few weeks ago, the Greenhouse Team had a chance to meet Bob Goff at a workshop here in Richmond, VA.
-
Unfamiliar with Bob? His team shares this about him:
“Bob calls himself a "recovering lawyer" because after practicing law for 25 years, then becoming the Hon. Consul to Uganda, he gave up his law firm to pursue writing and speaking full time ... Bob has inspired millions to dream big and make life more awesome. He is driven by a desire to help others unlock their potential to love and be loved greater.”
-
Needless to say, we had a blast at the workshop, and learned so many new ideas and nuggets of wisdom. Literally, we all took pages of notes - it was so good!
-
So this week, we decided to dedicate a whole podcast episode to it: where Steve and Greenhouse team member, Jacquelyn debrief a few major takeaways from the workshop:
- When you have clarity of what you want, you’ll start finding what you’re looking for.
- Live a life of wonder.
- Be available to others.
-
This is a fun one! We think you’ll enjoy it too.

Self-knowledge is critical to being a better person. No one has ever regretted making more time to be reflective.

There's not just one lifelong job or vocation out there for you.

97% of strategic planning in businesses go unimplemented.
The reason for this? There are no real, clear systems in place to make this a reality.
Today, Mark O’Donnell, Author and Coach at Optimize for Growth, talked with Steve about helping business leaders and entrepreneurs do what they love and how make time for what they really want.
To do what you love well? You need systems.
//
Mark talks through the four freedoms, specifically for entrepreneurs and business leaders (but, could also apply to individuals too!):
- Relationships - who do you want to spend time with?
- Purpose - what do you want to be doing?
- Time - how do you want to spend your time?
- Money - what resources do you need to make it happen?
Greenhouse tip: Using the four freedoms, jot down some initial ideas that come to mind. What do you notice? Are there systems in your life to help you with this? If not, do you need to make changes to implement new systems?
Mark O’Donnell is an entrepreneur, high growth strategist, and Certified EOS® Implementer.

We're back this week with another Greenhouse Effect favorite: Steve's interview last spring with Ari Weinzweig, Zingerman's Co-Founder!
//
Many leaders who build something as successful as Zingerman’s end up trapped in a life that serves their work. Ari has built a famous business while still maintaining the customer experience and the life he really wants. And it was possible because he wrote a vision on paper.
Along with his partner Paul Saginaw, Ari started Zingerman’s Delicatessen in 1982 with a $20,000 bank loan, a staff of two, a small selection of great-tasting specialty foods and a relatively short sandwich menu. Today, Zingerman’s experiences over 500,000 visitors every year, has 700+ employees, and over $65M in sales.
Ari discusses how writing a personal vision is the key. And how it has always related to the stuff that every progressive business writer touches on now:
- Employee engagement
- Treating people like they’re intelligent
- People don’t do good work if they don’t believe in what they’re doing
- Self-organizing work teams
- Not getting into hierarchical models
- Not overusing authority
- Involve people in designing the systems they’re going to be a part of
