Take a seat with my guests and myself as we discuss topics ranging from leadership and innovation to difference makers and industry disruptors. Let this be a time to feed your creative nature as well as your soul.
We finish the series “Leading with” on the subject of Love. We have looked at the themes of hope, peace and joy have seen the importance of them to the success of the team. However, through each conversation we were reminded that it must begin with the individual leader’s commitment to these practices and their place in our lives that make it beneficial to our team. I invite you to pull up a chair and join the Reverend Rebecca Ogus, transitional deacon at The Church of the Redeemer in Baltimore, MD, and myself for this discussion at The Idea Table.
During Christmas, we all seem to have about more smiles on our faces and laughter in our hearts. There is a sense of hope and peace in our lives which in turn leads to a joyful attitude. When we are joyful, we are more energetic, focused, and optimistic. We have a sense of positivity in our lives.
This year more people have been getting into the Christmas mood sooner to experience the joy that has been missing much of this year. Joy and optimism are important factors in the foundation of a success organization. When we lead with a sense of joy, we lead with optimism, are more creative, and teams regain the passion for their work.
We continue the series “Leading with” on the subject of Joy. I invite you to pull up a chair and join Gretchen Arroyo, CEO of Luxx Events, and myself for this discussion at The Idea Table.
During this season of Advent, we look at the theme of peace and how we operate as leaders with peace. With internal and external pressures continually impacting our organizations, conflict management is essential. However, leading with peace often takes us looking inward to see what we need to deal with as leaders in order to move in peace. I invite you to join my guest, Cathy Bartholomew, and myself as we discuss Leading with Peace.
As we approach the end of 2020, we can look back at this year and see that it has been impacted by many things, racial tensions, equity discussions, the COVID pandemic, etc. People seem to have come to the end and are searching for hope and joy in their lives. They have been besieged by concern for work, lack of connection with friends and family, and fear of what the future might hold. This has even permeated the workplace.
We begin the series “Leading with” on the subject of Hope. I invite you to pull up a chair and join Bob Fabey, CEO of Fabey Insights, and myself for this discussion at The Idea Table.
As a leader, we can often be thankful for our teams and opportunities to lead. Thankfulness leads to employees being inspired as well as moving on opportunities that might not have been seen in the first place. Take a seat as we welcome Mike Haley, Executive Director of Global Odyssey LLC, to The Idea Table as we discuss Thankfulness as a Leader
